NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-(UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Medical Connections Holdings, Inc., and subsidiaries, (the "Company") is an employment and executive search firm that provides recruiting services to its clients within the healthcare and medical industries. The Company was formed in Florida for the purpose of specializing in the recruitment and placement of healthcare professionals in a variety of employment settings.
Medical Connections Holdings, Inc. is the parent company of Medical Connections, Inc. and trades on the NASDAQ OTC B/B as a fully reporting company under the ticker symbol MCTH.
In our opinion, the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and related interim statements of condensed consolidated operations and cash flows include the adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring items) necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and represent our accounts after the elimination of inter-company transactions. Preparing financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The unaudited information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current-period presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net loss for the periods presented.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Medical Connections Holdings, Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All material inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
ADVERTISING
The Company's policy is to expense the costs of advertising and marketing as they are incurred. Advertising expense for the periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was $494,229 and $322,176, respectively.
INCOME TAXES
The Company has adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. The Statement requires an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting of income taxes, and the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and tax bases of the Company's assets and liabilities at enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when such amounts are realized or settled.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
In December 2004 the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, "Share-Based Payment." SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123 and supersedes APB 25. SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of the intrinsic value method of accounting and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of those awards. On April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission adopted a new rule that amended the compliance date to adopt SFAS 123R, effective January 1, 2006. SFAS No. 123R permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a "modified prospective" method or a "modified retrospective" method. Under the "modified prospective" method compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. ;123R for all share-based payments granted after that date, and, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R, for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R. Under the "modified retrospective" method the requirements are the same as under the "modified prospective" method, except that entities also are allowed to restate financial statements of previous periods based on pro forma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS No. 123. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123R.
COMMON STOCK ISSUED FOR OTHER THAN CASH
Services purchased and other transactions settled in the Company's common stock are recorded at the estimated fair value of the stock issued if that value is more readily determinable than the fair value of the consideration received.
INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE OF COMMON STOCK
Income (Loss) per share: Basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the loss of the Company. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dilutive potential common shares outstanding unless consideration of such dilutive potential common shares would result in anti-dilution. Common stock equivalents were not considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the quarter ended Septembe r 30, 2008 and 2007.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying amount reported in the balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, loans payable, lines of credit, convertible debentures and promissory notes approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”). The purpose of FSP FAS 157-3 was to clarify the application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), for a market that is not active. It also allows for the use of management’s internal assumptions about future cash flows with appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates when relevant observable market data does not exist. FSP FAS 157-3 did not change the objective of SFAS 157 which is the determination of the price that would be received in an orderly transaction that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale at the measurement date. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. Our ado ption of FSP FAS 157-3 for the period ended September 30, 2008 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

NOTE 3- NOTE PAYABLE
The Company has cancelled its agreement to sell selective accounts receivable invoices. Based on the Company’s cash position, the Company determined to discontinue its activity under this agreement to sell selective accounts receivable invoices and pay down the note payable, with no material affect or costs to the Company.
NOTE 4 - STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
On September 30, 2007, the Company obtained the written consent of the stockholders holding a majority of the outstanding voting rights of the Company to amend the Company’s articles of incorporation to provide for the issuance of 75,000,000 shares of capital stock including 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock (which has been previously authorized) and 70,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par value.

PREFERRED STOCK - A
As of September 30, 2008, the Company has 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock A authorized at $0.001 par value and110,865were issued and outstanding. The Company authorized a dividend of its Series A convertible preferred stock to the holders of record of its common stock on July 3, 2006 (the “Record Date”). On July 10, 2006, a total of 532,680 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock were issued to the record holders as of the Record Date. Each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock may convert each share of Preferred Stock into nineteen (19) shares (the “Conversion Ratio”) of the Company’s Common Stock at any time following December 31, 2006. The Conversion Ratio is subject to adjustment in the event of any recapitalization or reorganization. The Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are requ ired to tender the Series A Preferred Stock Certificate to the Company for redemption prior to issuance of any shares of Common Stock. As of September 30, 2008, a total of 421,815 shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been converted into 8,014,485 shares of our Common Stock. There were 83 shares of Series A Preferred Stock converted into 1,577 shares of Common Stock during the period.
PREFERRED STOCK - B
As of September 30, 2008, the Company has 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock B authorized at $0.001 par value and 1,000,000 issued and outstanding. Holders of the Series B preferred shares shall be entitled to ten votes per share for each Series B Preferred Share beneficially owned on all matters brought to a vote of the holders of the Common Stock.
COMMON STOCK
As of September 30, 2008, the Company has 70,000,000 shares of Common Stock authorized at $0.001 par value and 28,484,073 issued and outstanding.

There were conversions of 83 shares of Series A Preferred Stock to 1,577 shares of Common Stock during the period.
The Company also issued 958,864 warrants to purchase one share of Common Stock at $1.50 per share. The warrants, which expire two years after issuance, were assigned a value of $132,811, estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The following assumptions were
used in the model to determine the fair value of the warrants: a term of 2 years, risk-free rate of 6.00%, average volatility of 166%, and dividend yield of zero.
The Company issued 500,000 shares of Common Stock to a non-employee for services rendered, at $ 0.23 per share fair market value, for a total cost of $ 115,000. The Company relied upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2), as the recipient was deemed to be sophisticated with regard to an investment in the Company.

NOTE 5 - STOCK OPTIONS
A total of 200,000 stock options were granted to an employee during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. No options vested in the nine months ending September 30, 2008.
At September 30, 2008, the Company had one stock based compensation plan, which is described below.

Under the 2006 Stock Incentive and Compensation Plan, the Company may grant options to its employees.
Under this plan, the exercise price of each option equals the market price of the Company's stock on the date of grant and an option's maximum term is 10 years.
The options that were granted vest in one third increments commencing one year from the grant date with subsequent vesting at the second and third anniversary of the options grant date.
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of the grant using the prospective method of transition as prescribed by FASB Statement No. 148.
A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plans as of September 30, 2008 is presented below:

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had accumulated deficits approximating $16,900,000 available to offset future taxable income through 2026.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2008
NOTE 7 - GOING CONCERN
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplates continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has sustained operating losses and its revenue stream is not sufficient to fund expenses at this time. The Company has issued stock to continue to fund operations. The Company's continued existence is dependent upon its ability to generate sufficient cash flows from equity financing and product revenues. These items raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
In view of these matters, realization of the assets of the Company is dependent upon the Company's ability to meet its financial requirements and the success of future operations. These consolidated financial statements do not include adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
NOTE 8 – CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Financial instruments, which potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risks, consist primarily of trade receivables. The Company has attempted to minimize this risk by monitoring customers’ credit and payment activities.
During the period ended September 30, 2008, the Company maintained accounts with a single financial institution. At times during the year, balances in these accounts exceeded the amount insured by the FDIC.

In order to minimize its exposure, the Company conducts its business with one of the largest and well-capitalized banks in the United States.

General
Medical Connections Inc., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, is a national provider for medical recruitment and staffing services. Established in 2002 to satisfy the increasing need for qualified healthcare professionals, the Company’s business is to identify, select and place the best allied health specialists, pharmacists, physicians, nurses and hospital management executives. The Company provides recruiting and staffing services for permanent and temporary positions with options for the clients and candidates to choose the most beneficial working arrangements.
The Company generates revenues primarily from: permanent placement hires, contract appointments and a temporary to permanent model:
·
Permanent Placement Hires: This activity includes the hiring of allied health professionals, nurses, physicians, pharmacists and other medical personnel to be employed in healthcare or research facilities. Under this arrangement, Medical Connections receives a placement fee ranging from 10% to 30% of the employee’s initial annual salary, or a negotiated fee, which is predetermined based upon medical specialty.
·
Contract Appointments: This activity includes temporary hires (typically, 13 week contracts) made by healthcare facilities to economically cover short staffing during periods of high seasonal activity, vacations and leaves of absence. This also includes contracts for what is commonly known as “travel positions” for allied health professionals, nurses and physicians who want temporary assignments outside their home regions. Under this arrangement, Medical Connections, Inc. is the employer of record for the healthcare professional. The healthcare facility remits a fee to the Company that includes all employment overhead as well as a surcharge for the service provided. The revenue from this activity comes from the fee for the service. This activity represents 73% of all revenue generated by the Company as of the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Management is working on expanding each of these revenue sources. In addition, revenues may increase as a result of the acquisition of other medical staffing or placement agencies. Acquisitions will enable Medical Connections, Inc. to increase revenues and reduce costs by integrating the acquired company into the existing operations. If successful, Medical Connections, Inc. will be able to extend its market presence.
Target Market
·
Our target market consists of not-for-profit and for-profit organizations, companies, healthcare institutions and medical research facilities in the United States. Other recruiting companies and individual recruiters are also a market for our programs, which may include split-fee agreements and franchise developments.
·
Companies that are hired by the hospitals to outsource their Human Resource departments are a natural market for our services. Currently, they constitute 40% of the client base for placements.
·
Smaller medical recruiting companies and individual recruiters to whom we can provide cost effective technological solutions for their businesses.
Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2007
Revenues increased from $1,176,850 to $1,855,671. The two main components of revenue are permanent placement hires, including temporary to permanent and contract appointments. Revenues from permanent placement increased $172,899, or 70% to $419,990 compared to the prior year. This increase was a result of the Company’s

continued disciplined policy of securing the best recruiters in the medical field and the expansion of the recruiting staff. The revenue from contract appointments increased $505,923, or 54% from 2007 to $1,435,681 in 2008. This increase was the result of continued expansion in the employment option and temporary hires (typically, 13 week contracts) made by healthcare facilities to economically cover short staffing during periods of high seasonal activity, vacations and leaves of absence. The cost of the contract appointments revenue also increased from $750,569 in 2007 to $1,226,767 in 2008, a 63% increase. These costs represent personnel salaries including benefits, temporary housing and travel costs. The gross profits from contract appointments increased from $179,189, (19% of revenue) in 2007 to $208,914, (15% of revenue) in 2008.
Sales and marketing expenses were $142,002 in 2008, which increased from $137,314 in 2007. The increase in costs represents an expanded presence on internet web pages, job posting boards and display ads in trade journals.
General and administrative expenses increased to $2,383,892 in 2008 from $1,615,112 in 2007. During the last twelve months, the Company has expanded its recruiting staff resulting in increased revenue.
Other (income) expenses net, were $109,895 in 2008 compared to $485,372 in 2007. Part of this change was the recording of a loss on the revaluation of derivative of $189,397 in 2007. No amortization or revaluation was recorded in 2008 as all convertible debt was fully converted in 2007. In addition, interest expense decreased from $305,804 in 2007 to zero in 2008 as a result of the conversion to equity of the convertible debentures in 2007 and the elimination of the note payable during the third quarter. In addition, $114,354 in repair and maintenance expenses relating to Investment-real estate were recorded during the period.
Net loss for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008 was ($2,006,885) as compared to ($1,811,517) in 2007.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007

This increase was a result of the Company’s continued disciplined policy of securing the best recruiters in the medical field and the expansion of the recruiting staff. The revenue from contract appointments increased $1,486,358, or 62% from 2007 to $3,894,133 in 2008.

The cost of the contract appointments revenue also increased from $1,950,659 in 2007 to $3,138,759 in 2008, a 61% in crease. These costs represent personnel salaries including benefits, temporary housing and travel costs. The gross profits from contract appointments increased from $457,115, (19% of revenue) in 2007 to $755,374, (19% of revenue) in 2008.

Other (income) expenses net were $208,054 in 2008 compared to a net other expenses of $660,602 in 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Due to the operating losses and deficits, our independent auditors in their financial statements have raised doubts about our ability to continue as a going concern. Despite these historical losses, management believes that it will be able to satisfy ongoing operating expenses. Management has done so to date by raising capital through the sale of the Company’s Common Stock. It will continue to do so, and/or seek third party financing, until such time as revenues from operations satisfy operating expenses. There can be no assurance that a market for its stock or third party financing will be available, or if available, will be offered on terms that will not adversely impact our shareholders.
As of September 30, 2008, total current assets were $2,503,447 as compared to $2,155,657 on December 31, 2007. The increase in total current assets is primarily attributable to an increase in accounts receivable of $324,056 over the December 31, 2007 balance to $1,121,963. This is attributable to an increase in revenue partially offset by a decrease in cash from $1,319,944 on December 31, 2007 to $1,209,727. Also, total current liabilities decreased $558,208 when compared to December 31, 2007, due to the payment of 2007 year-end bonuses, other accrued expenses of $147,908 and a $370,086 reduction in note payable. Based on the Company’s cash position, the Company cancelled its agreement to sell selective accounts receivable invoices, with no material affect or costs to the Company.
Other assets and investments include our office equipment and the property located in North Carolina which we hold for rent seasonally and is valued at $610,000. All other assets which we have categorized as property and equipment are office furniture, equipment and software directly related to the operations of Medical Connections, Inc.
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2008, sales of 5,223,603 unregistered shares of common stock were made to accredited shareholders for $6,529,504 in new capital.
In June 2008, the Company entered into a seven-year operating lease for new and larger office space. The lease required a $200,000 security deposit with an occupancy date scheduled after January 2009. The security deposit acts as guarantee for performance under the terms of the lease. Assuming no defaults, the security deposit of $200,000 shall be reduced by $50,000 after expiration of each of the third, fourth, and fifth lease year, with $50,000 remaining as security until lease termination. The Company currently leases office space under a sixty-three month lease commencing January 1, 2005 with a renewal option for a five-year period. There will be approximately two years remaining under the old lease and the Company plans to sub-lease the space. Monthly payments under the current lease are $13,398, for a total of $288,243 in future minimum rental payments. Under the new lease the monthly payments will begin at be $26,078 and will increase by 3% each year. The Company is required to pay property taxes, utilities, insurance and other costs relating to the leased facilities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates: The preparation of 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 disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Income (Loss) per share: basic loss per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing the loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that shared in the loss of the Company. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing the loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dilutive potential common shares outstanding unless consideration of such dilutive potential common shares would result in anti-dilution. Common stock equivalents were not considered in the calculation of diluted loss per share as their effect would have been anti-dilutive for the periods ended Septembe r 30, 2008 and 2007.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not anticipate entering into any off-balance sheet arrangements during the next 12 months.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-3, “Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active” (“FSP FAS 157-3”). The purpose of FSP FAS 157-3 was to clarify the application of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), for a market that is not active. It also allows for the use of management’s internal assumptions about future cash flows with appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates when relevant observable market data does not exist. FSP FAS 157-3 did not change the objective of SFAS 157 which is the determination of the price that would be received in an orderly transaction that is not a forced liquidation or distressed sale at the measurement date. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for which financial statements had not been issued. Our ad option of FSP FAS 157-3 for the period ended September 30, 2008 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, cash flows or disclosures.

(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and determined that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

(b)
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(d) and 13d-15(d) under the Exchange Act) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
(c)
Inherent Limitations of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation or effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
