This Schedule 13D filing relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share ("common stock") of Medical Connections Holdings, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Company") having its principal executive offices at 4800 T. Rex Avenue, Suite 310, Boca Raton, Florida 33431. This Amendment No. 3 amends the filing on Schedule 13D, originally filed by Anthony J. Nicolosi with the Securities and Exchange ("SEC") on January 12, 2006, Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on November 19, 2009 and Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on August 5, 2010 by furnishing the information set forth below. Unless set forth below, all previous Items are unchanged. Capitalized terms used herein which are defined herein have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D previously filed with the SEC.
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
This Schedule is being filed by Anthony J. Nicolosi (the "Reporting Person") , who serves as the President and as a director of the Medical Connections Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") The business address for the Reporting Person is c/o Medical Connections Holdings, Inc., 4800 T. Rex Avenue, Suite 310, Boca Raton, Florida 33431. The Reporting Person is a U.S. citizen. Except as disclosed below during the last ten years, the Reporting Person has not been (i) convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding any violations of any such laws.
In December 2010, the Company and Mr. Nicolosi were served with a Cease and Desist Order (the "Order"), with a Notice of Right To Hearing, from the Alabama Securities Commission styled "In the Matter of Medical Connections Holdings, Inc., Anthony Nicolosi," (Adm. Order No. CD-2010-0062). The Order requires the cessation of offering or selling securities into, within or from the State of Alabama during the pendency of the Order. The Cease and Desist Order alleges that Mr. Nicolosi omitted material facts in the sale of a security to single Alabama investor and violated the agent registration requirements in Alabama. The Company made a rescission offer to the Alabama investor which included information that the Alabama Securities Commission alleged should have been disclosed to the investor relating to the name change of Mr. Nicolosi and his regulatory history concerning a disciplinary proceeding instituted by FINRA and settled by means of an Acceptance Waiver and Consent. The Alabama investor rejected the rescission offer. The Company had an informal meeting with the Alabama Securities Commission in March 2011 in the process of attempting to resolve the matter. There has been no adjudication as to the truth of the allegations upon which the Order was based.
In May 2005, the Pennsylvania Securities Commission issued a cease and desist order against Anthony Nicolosi and Medical Connections for violating certain provisions of the Pennsylvania Securities Act in connection with the sale of its common stock. On September 27, 2005, Anthony Nicolosi and Medical Connections (collectively, the Respondents") entered into a settlement agreement with the Pennsylvania Securities Commission, Docket No. 2005-05-16, without admitting or denying the facts, in which the cease and desist order was prospectively rescinded as to the Respondents, the Respondents were subject to a 3 month bar from contacting investors in Pennsylvania and were assessed $10,000 in legal and administrative costs.
In June 2001, Mr. Anthony J. Nicolosi, formerly known as Anthony J. Peluso, voluntarily entered into a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, formerly known as the National Association of Securities Dealers ("FINRA"), No. C07010043-AWC, in which he agreed to be barred from association with any FINRA member in any capacity. Without admitting or denying the allegations or findings and solely for the purpose of the proceeding with FINRA, Mr. Nicolosi consented to the entry of findings that he violated Section 2110 of the FINRA Rules by using improper sales tactics in connection with the sale of securities in 1999. With respect to his name change, the name on Mr. Nicolosi's original birth certificate was Anthony Joseph Nicolosi. When he was three, his parents divorced and his mother subsequently remarried and changed his name to Anthony Joseph Peluso, taking the last name of her new husband, in 1983 in the New York courts. When his twin-sons were born in 2003, Mr. Nicolosi legally changed his name back to Anthony Joseph Nicolosi, Jr., in the Florida state courts.

Effective as of June 30, 2011, the Company issued an aggregate of 30,000 shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock to Mr. Nicolosi for exceptional services rendered in fiscal 2011 and to ensure continuity of management at the Company during its new growth initiatives.

The holders of a majority of shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock will have the right to appoint a majority of the directors serving on the Company's Board. The Series C Preferred Stock does not have any dividend or liquidation preferences.
In addition, on June 30, 2011, Mr. Nicolosi and the Company agreed that, in an effort to simplify the Company's capital structure, the Company would cancel 50,000 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock held by Mr. Nicolosi in exchange for 5,000 shares of the Company's Series C Preferred Stock issued to Mr. Nicolosi.
