OUR COMPANY
Patient Portal Technologies, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “we” or "the Company") is a Delaware corporation which was originally organized on November 22, 2002 as Suncoast Naturals, Inc. and commenced business operations in January, 2003. Pursuant to a Registration Statement filed in accordance with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 3, 2004, the Company in October, 2004 distributed 499,282 Shares of its Common Stock to shareholders of record of The Quigley Corporation.
On September 1, 2006, as part of its corporate reorganization the Company undertook a reverse-split of its Common Stock on the basis of one new Share for each ten issued and outstanding Shares.
The Company's offices are located at 7108 Fairway Drive, Suite 215, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418. The telephone number is (561) 630-7688. The Company's website is www.patientportal.com.
GENERAL INTRODUCTION:
The Company was organized in November, 2002 to acquire from The Quigley Corporation its 60% interest in Caribbean Pacific Naturals Products, Inc., an Orlando, FL based company which specialized in the development, marketing and distribution of a complete line of proprietary, all-natural sun-care, skin-care, and nutritional supplements, as well as a complete line private-label Spa Products for the Resort, Day Spa, Cruise Ship and home markets. This acquisition was completed in January, 2003. In March, 2005, the Company acquired the remaining 40% of the capital stock of Caribbean Pacific Naturals Products, Inc. from Caribbean Pacific International, Inc. in exchange for the issuance of 500,000 Shares of Common Stock.
Due to lack of financial resources and liquidity, the Company was unable to develop a successful marketing plan or to continue retail or wholesale sales of its product line. Effective September 28, 2005, the Company sold its entire equity interest in Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc. and CP Suncoast Manufacturing, Inc. to Suncoast Nutriceuticals, Inc. (SNI) in exchange for a two-year Promissory Note in the principal amount of $250,000 and 3,500,000 Shares of Common Stock of SNI. The assets and liabilities attributable to the two subsidiaries were assumed by SNI as a result of this transaction.
The Patient Portal Connect, Inc. Acquisition
On December 8, 2006, we acquired 100% of the capital stock of Patient Portal Connect, Inc. of Palm Beach Gardens, FL through the issuance of 17,500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company to the shareholders of Patient Portal Connect, Inc. in a tax-free share exchange. As a result of this transaction, Patient Portal Connect, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as “PPC”) became a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of the Company.
Through this acquisition of PPC, we became a leading provider of creative technology solutions and process improvements for healthcare institutions. The company's products and services utilize a state-of-the-art proprietary software platform that optimizes patient flow, reduces administrative costs, and maximizes reimbursement.
Subsequent Event: The TB&A Hospital Television, Inc. Acquisition
On October 31, 2007, we entered into an Agreement for Purchase and Sale of Stock with TB&A Hospital Television, Inc. ("TB&A") On November 2, 2007, we completed the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by acquiring all of the capital stock of TB&A for a purchase price of $3,875,000 in cash and $400,000 in assumed debt. The consideration issued in the stock purchase was determined as a result of arm's-length negotiations between the parties.
Following the stock purchase, we are carrying on the business operations of TB&A as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Prior to the stock purchase, there were no material relationships between us and TB&A or any of our respective affiliates, directors or officers, or any associates of the respective officers or directors.
The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2006 and the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2007 reflecting the acquisition of this wholly-owned subsidiary are set forth as an Exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K we filed on November 13, 2007 and which we have incorporated by reference to this Registration Statement.
Subsequent Event: Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement With Worldnet Communications, Inc.
On November 2, 2007, we completed an Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement with Worldnet Communications, Inc. ("Worldnet"), whereby we acquired eighteen hospital telecommunications services contracts. The purchase price for the contracts was $2,500,000, consisting of $1,500,000 in cash and 1,000,000 Shares of our Common Stock with a stated value of $1.00 per Share.
We have assigned the contracts to our wholly-owned operating subsidiary, Patient Portal Connect, Inc. Prior to this transaction we have had a business relationship with Worldnet, which provides us with operator call center and data center services on a contract basis. Three of our controlling shareholders are also shareholders of Worldnet, and the President of Worldnet, Brian Kelly, is the brother of our President, Kevin Kelly. There are no common Officers or Directors of our Company and Worldnet. The consideration issued in this asset purchase was determined as a result of arm's-length negotiations between the parties and our valuation of the present and future cash flow generated by the purchased contracts.
The Dutchess Private Equities Fund Convertible Debenture
On November 1, 2007, we entered into a Seven Million Dollar ($7,000,000) convertible debenture agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LTD (“Dutchess”). If Dutchess elects to convert its debentures (the “Debentures”) into shares of common stock, par value $0.001 (the “Common Stock”) of the Company, the conversion price for their shares of Common Stock will be at a maximum price of $.46 per share but may fluctuate at a substantial percentage discount (15%) to fluctuating market prices. As a result, the number of shares issuable to Dutchess, upon conversion of the Debentures could be potentially materially adverse to current and potential investors. Dutchess’ overall ownership at any one moment is limited to 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in accordance with the financing documents. However, Dutchess is free to sell any shares into the market, which have been issued to them, thereby enabling Dutchess to convert the remaining Debentures or exercise additional Warrants into shares of Common Stock. Please see our Risk Factors on pages 9 for additional information and the summary description of the Debenture on page 39.
PRINCIPAL OPERATIONS, PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OF THE COMPANY
Our Company, through its operating subsidiaries is well positioned to be the premier provider of integrated workflow solutions in the healthcare industry. Having developed the industry's newest, leading-edge process improvement delivery platform for the healthcare industry, PPC is poised to capture a significant segment of the multi-billion dollar healthcare market. Its proprietary systems were developed in close coordination with hospital industry partners to provide multi-layer functionality across a wide spectrum of critical patient-centric workflows that result in immediate improvements in cost savings, patient outcomes, and revenue growth for hospitals. Our systems and solutions are designed to change the way healthcare institutions and patients do business in today's healthcare environment.
Nationwide, the demand for more customized healthcare has resulted in a greater need for improved productivity, efficiency, and customer service in hospitals and other healthcare institutions. We have has pioneered the development of integrated software applications that combine technology and industry expertise with unique customization designed to better manage the hospital/patient relationship and improve hospital operational processes. Further, our solutions enable hospitals to achieve compliance with strict government mandates that affect reimbursements by requiring measured improvements in productivity, efficiency, and patient satisfaction. Our proven technologies provide tremendous economic benefit for healthcare providers.
We intend to rapidly gain market share by leveraging strategic relationships and by acquiring companies with existing hospital contracts. Our acquisition strategy will enable us to achieve greater profitability, grow rapidly, and quickly gain first-mover advantage. Our proprietary technology platform allows us to create additional revenue streams with minimal cost by accessing enhanced service modules as market demand changes. This scaleable architecture creates even greater profitability by enabling multiple services to be delivered over our service delivery platform.
We believe that our Company is primed to swiftly react to the requirements of an ever-changing healthcare industry. Unlike the costly, capital-intensive and stand-alone products offered by our industry competitors, our sophisticated technology platform offers flexible solutions and functionalities that are universal enough to have broad appeal while still allowing for a level of customization that is necessary to integrate with a hospital's existing legacy system, and at an affordable cost. Our flexible platform also enables the healthcare providers to fulfill the government's newest mandates for a full "continuum of care" from the hospital to the home. This unique ability enables us to present a tailored solution to our customers at a cost-effective price and will dramatically enhance our ability to capture significant market share nationwide.
Our Company’s expertise in creating win-win opportunities for hospitals and patients by clearly defining customized, flexible, and integrated healthcare solutions with measurable results. Our products and services enable hospitals to improve patient flow, enhance patient satisfaction, and create long-term relationships with patients as they move from hospital to home.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the risks described below before investing in the Company. We consider these risks to be significant to your decision whether to invest in our Common Stock at this time. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be seriously harmed, the trading price of our Common Stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Risks Related to Our Company
We Have A Limited History of Operations.
The Company’s present business operations are conducted through its newly-acquired subsidiary, Patient Portal Connect, Inc. Therefore, the Company has had limited revenue from operations or other financial results upon which investors may base an assessment of its potential. The prior business operations of the Company’s former subsidiaries were not material during the past three years, and the operations of newly-acquired subsidiaries are not reflect in our past results from operations.
We May Need Additional Funding.
Management believes that the net proceeds of the Dutchess financing transaction, together with net cash flow from its newly-acquired subsidiary and other ongoing business operations will be sufficient to satisfy the Company's cash requirements through its calendar year ending December 31, 2008. However, there can be no assurance that additional funds will not be required for additional working capital purposes during such period or thereafter or that, if required, such funds will then be available on terms satisfactory to the Company, if at all.
Our business operations could be significantly disrupted if we lose members of, or fail to integrate, our management team.
Our future performance is substantially dependent on the continued services of our management team and our ability to retain and motivate them. The loss of the services of any of our officers or senior managers could harm our business, as we may not be able to find suitable replacements. We do not have employment agreements with any of our key personnel, and we do not maintain any “key person” life insurance policies.
We may not be able to hire and retain a sufficient number of qualified employees and, as a result, we may not be able to grow as we expect or maintain the quality of our services.
Our future success will depend on our ability to attract, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing and customer support personnel. Competition for these personnel is intense, especially for software developers, Web designers and sales personnel, and we may be unable to successfully attract sufficiently qualified personnel. We will need to maintain the size of our staff to support our anticipated growth, without compromising the quality of our product offerings or customer service. Our inability to locate, hire, integrate and retain qualified personnel in sufficient numbers may reduce the quality of our services.
Risks Related to Our Products and Services
New Products and Technological Change.
The markets for our products and services are characterized by rapidly changing technology and new product introductions. Accordingly, the Company believes that its future success will depend on its ability to enhance its existing products and to develop and introduce in a timely fashion new products that achieve market acceptance. Management believes that the Company will be able to continue to compete and adapt to potential new industrial and commercial applications for its products with continuous technological enhancements. although there can be no assurance that the Company will in fact be able to identify, develop, manufacture, market or support such products successfully or that the Company will in fact be able to respond effectively to technological changes or product announcements by competitors.
We Face Significant Competition.
The Company faces significant competition from a variety of healthcare industry service providers, and may in the future face competition from a variety of potential providers, many of which have or will have considerably larger and greater financial and human resources and marketing capabilities. We believe that we will be able to compete favorably in this competitive marketplace because of our flexibility in responding to changing and emerging markets, its innovative and competitive services and products, our quick response to customer requirements, and our ability to identify, develop, produce and market original products and derivative product concepts.
We must continue to upgrade our technology infrastructure, both hardware and software, to effectively meet demand for our services.
We must continue to add hardware and enhance software to accommodate the increased services which we provide and increased use of our platform. In order to make timely decisions about hardware and software enhancements, we must be able to accurately forecast the growth in demand for our services. This growth in demand for our services is difficult to forecast and the potential audience for our services is large. If we are unable to increase the data storage and processing capacity of our systems at least as fast as the growth in demand, our systems may become unstable and our customers may encounter delays or disruptions in their service. Unscheduled downtime could harm our business and also could discourage current and potential customers and reduce future revenues.
Our network infrastructure and computer systems and software may fail.
An unexpected event like a telecommunications failure, fire, flood, earthquake, or other catastrophic loss at our service providers’ facilities or at our on-site data facility could cause the loss of critical data and prevent us from offering our products and services. We do not at the present time carry business interruption insurance.
In addition, we rely on third parties to securely store our archived data, house our servers and network systems and connect us to the Internet. While our service providers have planned for certain contingencies, the failure by any of these third parties to provide these services satisfactorily and our inability to find suitable replacements would impair our ability to access archives and operate our systems and software.
We may lose users and lose revenues if our security measures fail.
If the security measures that we use to protect personal information are ineffective, we may lose users of our services, which could reduce our revenues. We rely on security and authentication technology which we have developed. With this technology, we perform real-time credit card authorization and verification. We cannot predict whether these security measures could be circumvented by new technological developments. In addition, our software, databases and servers may be vulnerable to computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions. We may need to spend significant resources to protect against security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by any breaches. We cannot assure that we can prevent all security breaches.
Risks Related to Our Stock Being Publicly Traded
Our stock price may be volatile.
Our Common Stock has been trading in the public market for since 2004. However, throughout our history trading volume has been extremely light, as approximately 88% of our outstanding shares are unregistered and cannot yet be traded. We cannot predict the extent to which a trading market will develop for our Common Stock or how liquid that market might become. The trading price of our Common Stock has been and is expected to continue to be highly volatile as well as subject to wide fluctuations in price in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control. These factors include:
| · | Quarterly variations in our results of operations or those of our competitors. |
| · | Announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, new products, significant contracts, commercial relationships or capital commitments. |
| · | Disruption to our operations. |
| · | The emergence of new sales channels in which we are unable to compete effectively. |
| · | Our ability to develop and market new and enhanced products on a timely basis. |
| · | Commencement of, or our involvement in, litigation. |
| · | Any major change in our board of directors or management. |
| · | Changes in governmental regulations or in the status of our regulatory approvals. |
| · | Changes in earnings estimates or recommendations by securities analysts. |
| · | General economic conditions and slow or negative growth of related markets. |
In addition, the stock market in general, and the market for technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry factors may seriously harm the market price of our Common Stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. In addition, in the past, following periods of volatility in the overall market and the market price of a company’s securities, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against these companies. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources.
We do not intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock.
We have never declared or paid any cash dividend on our Common Stock. We currently intend to retain any future earnings and do not expect to pay any dividends in the foreseeable future.
Provisions in our charter documents and under Delaware law could discourage a takeover that stockholders may consider favorable.
Provisions in our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control or changes in our management. These provisions include the following:
| · | Our board of directors has the right to elect directors to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of the board of directors or the resignation, death or removal of a director, which may prevent stockholders from being able to fill vacancies on our board of directors. |
| · | Our stockholders may act by written consent, provided that such consent is signed by all the shareholders entitled to vote with respect to the subject matter thereof. As a result, a holder, or holders, controlling a majority of our capital stock would not be able to take certain actions without holding a stockholders’ meeting. |
| · | Our Certificate of Incorporation prohibits cumulative voting in the election of directors. This limits the ability of minority stockholders to elect director candidates. |
As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to certain Delaware anti-takeover provisions. Under Delaware law, a corporation may not engage in a business combination with any holder of 15% or more of its capital stock unless the holder has held the stock for three years or, among other things, the board of directors has approved the transaction. Our board of directors could rely on Delaware law to prevent or delay an acquisition of us.
You may experience substantial dilution as a result of the Dutchess financing transaction, as well as if we raise funds through the issuance of additional equity and/or convertible securities.
You may experience substantial dilution if Dutchess converts its Debentures into Common Stock of the Company and exercises its Common Stock Purchase Warrants. Since the conversion price of the Debentures fluctuates at a substantial percentage discount (15%) to fluctuating market prices, the number of shares issuable to Dutchess, upon conversion of the Debentures, is potentially limitless. In other words, the lower the average trading price of the Company’s shares at the time of conversion, the greater the number of shares that can be issued to Dutchess. This perceived risk of dilution may cause our shareholders to sell their shares, thus contributing to a downward movement in the Company’s stock price. Dutchess’ overall ownership at any one moment is limited to 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in accordance with the financing documents. However, Dutchess is free to sell any shares into the market, which have been issued to them, thereby enabling Dutchess to convert the remaining Debentures or exercise additional warrants into shares of Common Stock.
Our Common Stock has a small public float and future sales of our Common Stock, or sales of shares being registered under this document may negatively affect the market price of our Common Stock.
As of November 21, 2007, the most recent trading day in our Common Stock, there were 33,612,916 shares of our Common Stock outstanding, at a closing market price (average of best bid and ask prices) of $0.63 for a total market valuation of approximately $20,840,000. Our Common Stock has a public float of approximately 3,200,000 shares, which shares are in the hands of public investors, and which, as the term "public float" is defined by NASDAQ, excludes shares that are held directly or indirectly by any of our officers or directors or any other person who is the beneficial owner of more than 10% of our total shares outstanding. These 3,200,000 shares are held by a relatively small number of stockholders of record. We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of shares of our Common Stock into the market will have on the market price of our Common Stock. However, sales of substantial amounts of Common Stock, including future shares issued upon the exercise of 27,646,086 Common Stock Purchase Warrants, future shares issued upon the exercise of stock options (of which none are outstanding as of November 21, 2007 and 1,000,000 have been reserved for potential future issuance), or the perception that such transactions could occur, may materially and adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Common Stock.
We could terminate our Securities and Exchange Commission Registration, which could cause our Common Stock to be de-listed from the Over the Counter Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”).
As a public company with more than 300 shareholders, we are required to file our periodic reports with the SEC and register our shares of Common Stock under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). In the event that our Company would have less than 300 shareholders of record, our reporting requirements would be on a voluntary basis. In the event that in the future we would have fewer than 300 stockholders of record, we would be eligible to de-register our Common Stock under the Exchange Act. Although the Company does not currently plan to de-register its Common Stock, there can be no assurance that we would not de-register the Common Stock at some point in the future. If the Company were to take such action, it could inhibit the ability of the Company’s common stock holders to trade the shares in the open market, thereby severely limiting the liquidity of such shares. Furthermore, if we were to de-register, we would no longer be required to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC and would no longer be subject to various substantive requirements of SEC regulations. De-registration would reduce the amount of information available to investors about our Company and may cause our Common Stock to be de-listed from the OTCBB. In addition, investors would not have the protections of certain SEC regulations to which we would no longer be subject. The Company has no intention of terminating the registration of the Common Stock, and in fact is constrained from doing so under the terms of its agreements with Dutchess.
Because the market for and liquidity of our shares is volatile and limited, and because we are subject to the "Penny Stock" rules, the level of trading activity in our Common Stock may be reduced.
Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCBB (PPRG). The OTCBB is generally considered to be a less efficient market than the established exchanges or the NASDAQ markets. While our Common Stock continues to be quoted on the OTCBB, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our Common Stock, compared to if our securities were traded on NASDAQ or a national exchange. In addition, our Common Stock is subject to certain rules and regulations relating to "penny stocks" (generally defined as any equity security that is not quoted on the NASDAQ Stock Market and that has a price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exemptions). Broker-dealers who sell penny stocks are subject to certain "sales practice requirements" for sales in certain nonexempt transactions (i.e., sales to persons other than established customers and institutional "accredited investors"), including requiring delivery of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market and monthly statements disclosing recent bid and offer quotations for the penny stock held in the account, and certain other restrictions. If the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this, as well as the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. For as long as our securities are subject to the rules on penny stocks, the liquidity of our Common Stock could be significantly limited. This lack of liquidity may also make it more difficult for us to raise capital in the future.
SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements under “Prospectus Summary,” “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Business,” and elsewhere in this prospectus, constitute forward-looking statements. These statements involve risks known to us, significant uncertainties, and other factors which may cause our actual results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements.
You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “intends,” “potential,” “proposed,” or “continue” or the negative of those terms. These statements are only predictions. In evaluating these statements, you should specifically consider various factors, including the risk factors outlined above. These factors may cause our actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking statement.
Although we believe that the exceptions reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of our Common Stock by the selling stockholder, Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LTD.
DILUTION
As of September 30, 2007, the Company had a net tangible book value of $2,444,959, a net book value per share of $.07, based upon 33,612,916 shares of Common Stock outstanding. Dilution is determined by subtracting net tangible book value per share after this Offering from the amount paid by new investors per share of Common Stock. You may experience substantial dilution as a result of the Dutchess financing transaction, as well as if we raise funds through the issuance of additional equity and/or convertible securities. You may experience substantial further dilution if the holders of the additional 3,600,000 Common Stock Purchase Warrants exercise their Warrants into shares of Common Stock.
As a result of the Dutchess financing, Dutchess may convert the shares underlying the Debentures and exercise the shares underlying the Warrants, into shares of the Company’s Common Stock. As Dutchess converts or exercises such shares into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, such conversion or exercise will dilute the current percentage ownership of the Company’s existing shareholders. The conversion price of the Dutchess Debentures and the exercise price of the Warrants fluctuate at a substantial percentage discount (15%) to fluctuating market prices, and as a result, the number of shares issuable to Dutchess, upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants, is potentially limitless. Dutchess’ potential ownership of the Company’s Common Stock could substantially dilute the current shareholders ownership in the Company’s Common Stock.
Upon Dutchess’ conversion of the shares underlying the Debenture and the exercise of the shares underlying the Warrant into shares of the Company’s Common Stock, the current shareholders will experience substantial dilution of their current percentage ownership. For additional disclosure pertaining to the potential dilution of the existing shareholders, please refer to the table on page 41, under “Description of Securities,” which shows the combined effect of the Debenture conversions and Preferred Stock conversions on the existing shareholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Company was established in November, 2002. On December 7, 2006, the Company acquired Patient Portal Connect, Inc., which as of September 30, 2007 is its only operating subsidiary.

Three Months Ended Sept 30, 2007 vs. Sept 30, 2006
The Company reported no revenue for the three months ended Sept 30, 2006 due to the divestiture of its former operating subsidiary in September, 2005. In December, 2006, the Company acquired a new operating subsidiary, Patient Portal Connect, Inc., and the revenues for this reporting period reflect the revenues of this operating subsidiary. Due to the lack of business operations during the quarter ended March 31, 2006 there are no year-to-year comparisons for revenues and expenses.
Revenues for the three months ended Sept 30, 2007 were $347,421 and were derived from hospital service contracts acquired by the Company during this quarter. Cost of sales for the three months ended Sept 30, 2007 were $_423,530.
Selling and marketing expenses were $0for the three months ended Sept 30, 2007, and Research and Development Expenses were $0. Depreciation and Amortization expenses for this three-month period totaled $185,002. The increase in selling and marketing expenses is primarily due to the hiring of additional employees and start-up costs related to newly-acquired hospital contracts. The increase in non-cash items (amortization and depreciation) is due to charges related tothe purchase of additional hospital contracts during the first nine months of this year.
The Company reported a net loss of ($675,992) for the three month period ended Sept 30, 2007 as compared to a net loss of ($35,000) during the three months ended Sept 30, 2006. This represents a loss per share of $.01 for the three months ended Sept 30, 2007 as compared to a loss per share of $.01 for the three months ended Sept 30, 2006.
Nine Months Ended Sept 30, 2007 vs. Sept 30, 2006
The Company reported no revenue for the six months ended Sept 30, 2006 due to the divestiture of its former operating subsidiary in September, 2005. In December, 2006, the Company acquired a new operating subsidiary, Patient Portal Connect, Inc., and the revenues for this reporting period reflect the revenues of this operating subsidiary.

The Company reported $ 1,690 of revenue for the Year Ended December 31, 2006 and $0 for the comparable period in 2005. This increase is solely attributable to the acquisition of the Company's Patient Portal Connect, Inc. operating subsidiary in December, 2006 and minimal start-up revenues attributed to this subsidiary during this period. The results for 2005 reflected the discontinuance of direct business operations and the subsequent sale of the Company's previous sole operating subsidiary in 2005, and the subsequent acquisition of Patient Portal Connect, Inc. in December, 2006.
Cost of sales for the Year Ended December 31, 2006 were $115,332 as compared to cost of sales of $0 during the same period in 2005.

CURRENT PLAN OF OPERATIONS
Our Company, through its newly acquired subsidiary, Patient Portal Connect, Inc. (PPC) is well positioned to be the premier provider of integrated workflow solutions in the healthcare industry. Having developed the industry's newest, leading-edge process improvement delivery platform for the healthcare industry, PPC is poised to capture a significant segment of the multi-billion dollar healthcare market. Its proprietary systems were developed in close coordination with hospital industry partners to provide multi-layer functionality across a wide spectrum of critical patient-centric workflows that result in immediate improvements in cost savings, patient outcomes, and revenue growth for hospitals. PPC's revolutionary solutions are changing the way hospitals and patients do business in today's healthcare environment.
Nationwide, an explosive demand for more customized healthcare has resulted in a greater need for improved productivity, efficiency, and customer service in hospitals. PPC has pioneered the development of integrated software applications that combine technology and industry expertise with unique customization designed to better manage the hospital/patient relationship and improve hospital operational processes. Further, our solutions enable hospitals to achieve compliance with strict government mandates that affect reimbursements by requiring measured improvements in productivity, efficiency, and patient satisfaction. PPC's proven technologies provide tremendous economic benefit for healthcare providers.
PPC intends to rapidly gain market share by leveraging strategic relationships and acquiring companies with existing hospital contracts. The company's acquisition strategy will enable it to achieve immediate profitability, grow rapidly, and quickly gain first mover advantage. PPC's sophisticated technology platform allows the company to create additional revenue streams with minimal cost by accessing enhanced service modules as market demand changes. This scaleable architecture creates even greater profitability by enabling multiple services to be delivered over the PPC service delivery platform.
Management believes that PPC is primed to swiftly react to the ever-changing healthcare industry. Unlike the costly, capital-intensive and stand-alone products offered by our industry competitors, PPC's sophisticated platform offers flexible solutions and functionalities that are universal enough to have broad appeal while still allowing for a level of customization that is necessary to integrate with a hospital's existing legacy system, and at an affordable cost. Our flexible platform also enables the healthcare providers to fulfill the government's newest mandates for a full "continuum of care" from the hospital to the home. This unique ability enables PPC to present a tailored solution to our customers at a cost-effective price and will dramatically enhance our ability to capture significant market share nationwide.
PPC's expertise is in its ability to create win-win opportunities for hospitals and patients by clearly defining customized, flexible, and integrated healthcare solutions with measurable results. PPC enables hospitals to improve patient flow, enhance patient satisfaction, and create long-term relationships with patients as they move from hospital to home. In so doing, hospitals gain productivity and efficiency enhancements, reduce the burden on staff and increase cash flow by optimizing reimbursements from third-party sources.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
As shown in the above financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of ($401,408) during the year ended December 31, 2006 and ($675,992) during the three months ended Sept 30, 2007. The Company plans to raise more capital through public or private financing, through the issuance of its common stock, the issuance of debt instruments, including debt convertible to equity, or otherwise attain financing, which if available, it cannot be certain such financing will be on attractive terms. Should the Company obtain more capital, in turn, it may cause dilution to its existing stockholders and providing the company can obtain more capital, it cannot be assured to ultimately attain profitability. These factors create substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company intends to continue its efforts to complete the necessary steps in order to meet its cash flow requirements throughout fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008 and to continue its product development efforts and adjust its operating structure to reduce losses and ultimately attain profitability. Management's plans in this regard include, but are not limited to, the increase in business operations which it expects from the acquisition of additional retail hospital contracts by its Patient Portal Connect subsidiary and the continuing roll-out of its product line to its existing and future customer base.
Management believes that actions presently being taken will generate sufficient revenues to provide cash flows from operations and that sufficient capital will be available, when required, to permit the Company to realize its plans. However, there can be no assurance that this will occur. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Because our business is evolving and changing, particularly regarding our recent acquisitions and the Dutchess financing transaction, our operating cash flow will be significantly increased from past results, and past operations are not a good gauge for anticipating future operations.
INFLATION
The rate of inflation has had little impact on the Company's results of operations and is not expected to have a significant impact on continuing operations.

The Dutchess Financing Transaction
On November 1, 2007, the Company entered into a Subscription Agreement with Dutchess and immediately closed the transaction pursuant to which the Company issued secured Debentures, convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company, in the principal amount of Seven Million dollars ($7,000,000). Dutchess funded Five Million Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand dollars ($5,750,000) to the Company upon the initial closing and agreed to fund the remaining balance of the Debenture simultaneously with the filing of the Registration Statement covering the shares of Common Stock underlying the Debentures and Warrants with the SEC. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, the additional funding had been agreed upon between Dutchess and the Company and was contingent only on the filing of the Registration Statement.
The Debentures bear interest at 12% per annum and are due in June of 2011. The Company also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Dutchess, whereby the Company agreed to register the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the conversion of the Debentures and exercise of outstanding Warrants.
The Debentures are convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company at the lesser of forty-six cents ($.46), or eighty-five percent (85%) of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding a notice of conversion. Dutchess’ overall ownership at any one moment is limited to 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in accordance with the financing documents. However, Dutchess is free to sell any shares into the market, which have been issued to them, thereby enabling Dutchess to convert the remaining Debentures or exercise additional warrants into shares of Common Stock.
Pursuant to a Security Agreement between the Company and Dutchess, the Company granted Dutchess a first priority security interest in certain property of the Company to secure the prompt payment, performance and discharge in full of all of Company’s obligations under the Debentures and exercise and discharge in full of Company’s obligations under the Warrants.

PATIENT PORTAL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
Many hospitals are plagued with decentralized workflows and vertical silos of information that create redundant, costly processes and a disjointed patient experience. Competition and consumers are demanding change.
Our products and services address that need for change with customized solutions that improve efficiency and productivity of administrative processes directly affecting the patient relationship and the hospital's ability to generate revenue. Hospitals gain real-time reports, reallocation of labor hours, improvements in productivity and revenue, opportunities to enhance customer service, enhanced branding, and compliance with government directives to measure outcomes. The sophistication of our system core elements can be integrated into any hospital nationwide while allowing for cost-effective customization to meet the specific needs of each institution.
Our products and services were created as an outcome of working with our hospital partners in a live laboratory to create process solutions that are cost-effective, scalable, and allow for seamless and transparent integration into the hospital's legacy systems and culture. Our workflow and patient management systems help to bring healthcare institutions into compliance with Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) mandates, which boost the institutions’ pay-for-performance reimbursements.
The following is a brief description of the principal products and services which we deliver to our customers:
Patient Tracker Services:
Having the right patient in the right place at the right time is a key tenet of business in healthcare. That can be difficult and costly when up to 60 percent of all admissions come through the Emergency Department and are unplanned. Coordinating efforts of interdepartmental staff involved in patient flow is challenging when hospitals continue to work with paper slips and white boards to determine room availability. Inefficiency is costly considering each patient who leaves or is diverted from the ED costs the hospital $15,000 or more. With overcrowding and Emergency Department diversions becoming the norm, hospitals are searching for innovative, cost-effective ways to manage patient throughput.
In support of this trend, the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO) issued a standard in January 2005, Managing Patient Flow (LD.3.15). This standard measures leadership progress towards development and implementation of plans to identify and mitigate impediments to efficient patient flow throughout the hospital.
Patient Tracker is our direct response to address this critical industry-wide challenge. Patient Tracker was developed with guidance from one of the most respected technology hospitals in the industry. The system provides real-time information on the current location of all patients by collecting and displaying critical-path information within departments and hospital-wide. The interactive screens provide each member of the care team with useful information concerning critical tasks, room availability, messaging, and time-stamped workflow. We have developed a user-friendly graphical interface that allows all hospital stakeholders including nurses, administration, transport, and housekeeping to determine patient location, room availability, and staff performance. To minimize costs we have designed a centralized data management architecture that allows hospitals to share in the savings of networked based capabilities and realize a documented return-on-investment of less than 12 months.
Patient Tracker provides quantitative and qualitative data that allows administrators to predict trends and determine best use of critical resources. Further, the system is flexible and scalable for customized integration into any hospital's legacy systems and culture. The Patient Tracker system's effectiveness is further enhanced by a unique module, ED Tracker, which is unmatched by any software application in the industry. Made specifically for the Emergency Department, this application seamlessly integrates with our hospital-wide Patient Tracker system and is customized to provide for transparent use within the hospital's current process flow.
Patient Relationship Services:
The typical flow of information through a hospital can often stop at the front line since nurses hear most patients' needs--medical and non-medical--but have little time to react to anything beyond medical concerns. In all facets of healthcare, effective communication with patients and addressing their non-medical needs are often bypassed for more pressing medical issues. Industry studies continue to prove that there is a direct correlation between effective patient communication and improved medical outcomes. The shift toward improved patient satisfaction can be enhanced further if patients are given a means of controlling their hospital environment and if information about patients can be shared among caregivers.
Stimulated by this trend, new JCAHO mandates call for improved patient communication and management with 2007 National Patient Safety Goals, "Improve the effectiveness of communication among caregivers (Goal 2)," "Encourage patient's active involvement in their own care...(Goal 13)," and "Define and communicate the means for patients and their families to report concerns about safety...(Goal 13A)." As hospital compliance with these goals determines pay-for-performance reimbursements, administrators put high value on process improvements that enhance patient communication, customer service, and process efficiency.
To meet these needs and requirements, we have developed the following patient relationship services:
Scheduler Elite: A suite of innovative and elegantly simple applications designed to collect and display scheduling data on a "real-time" basis within departments and enterprise-wide. Scheduler Elite is a comprehensive, web-based patient management application featuring interactive data controls that allow multi-user simultaneous access so doctor's offices, hospital departments, and scheduling services can share and collect patient data across multiple platforms. Scheduler Elite's unique configurability incorporates processes to facilitate compliance and best practices. PPC retains extraordinary value by gaining multiple patient touch points, integrating 24/7 call coverage, and hosting the application and data.
ConnectMD: This is a innovative service platform which provides nearly effortless customer service for patients on behalf of the heathcare institution, ensuring consistent communication with patients, which closes the loop between medical offices, patients, and the hospital after hours or during ED overflow when a timely response can be critical. ConnectMD features live-answer contact with our Patient Contact Representatives and custom scripting for the doctor's office or hospital department. ConnectMD provides a third communication option for our varied customer base beyond web and electronic systems.
Physician Finder: The advanced technology of Physician Finder seamlessly integrates with the hospital databases to create a customized application for instantaneous data queries across multiple matrices matching physicians with patient criteria. The sophistication of this platform supports enhanced customer service initiatives, such as an automatically generated letter or email listing the selections and personalized directions to the medical offices from the patient's specified address. Further, all patient data and physician selections can be queried and cross matched in real-time reports for more focused marketing and targeted education to the patient.
Instant Response Line: An interactive, live response solution that enables patients to log a non-medical need, which is electronically transferred to an appropriate hospital department for resolution in a timely fashion. Putting the hospital in proactive mode, improves interdepartmental communication, and adds an unparalleled level of customer service for the patient. A key element to the success of this system is time-stamped reporting that allows administrators to see how quickly and efficiently their staff responds. Administrators can request immediate notification regarding certain calls for direct intervention and response. Instant Response Line provides a single point of contact for all patient problems and leads to greater patient satisfaction.
Quick Pulse Surveys: Quick inpatient surveys allow hospital administrators to keep their "finger on the pulse" of what patients are thinking while in house--a vastly different concept from industry standard post-discharge surveys hospitals typically employ. This customized service focuses on finite issues, allowing the hospital to direct specific, timely solutions. A key differentiator between our service and competing survey services is our ability to collect patient response data in real time while the patient is still involved in the experience. The data is also made available in real-time with follow-up analysis available so hospitals can benchmark and measure improvements, putting the hospital in compliance with pay-for-performance government initiatives.
Outcomes Optimizer: Nationally, the prevalence of medical errors related to the discontinuity of care from the inpatient to the outpatient setting is high and may be associated with an increased risk of re-hospitalization. Further, more than one in five seniors take five or more different prescription drugs every day. The difficulty in coordinating medical care among providers is xacerbated with poor communication vehicles and disparate technology systems making continuity of care nearly impossible.
To address this pressing concern, beginning in 2008, the Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) requirements mandate hospitals to implement processes that manage patient treatment across the full continuum of care from hospital to home and between all caregivers. To satisfy requirements for successful accreditation and pay-for-performance reimbursements, hospitals must look outside the traditional healthcare paradigm to create a broader spectrum of care and communication.
In direct response to one of healthcare's most critical needs, our Outcomes Optimizer product is a revolutionary system that enables incongruent providers to coordinate efforts across a full continuum of care. Outcomes Optimizer effectively bridges the communication gaps between providers with multi-layered architecture that coordinates tasks and patient information in real time. Our state-of-the-art system gains us strategic competitive advantage with applications that qualify and quantify critical patient data and measure improvements in patient outcomes to ensure hospital reimbursements for JCAHO compliance in 2008. We are positioned ahead of the curve enabling hospitals to proactively address preventative medicine and wellness education among caregivers from the hospital to the home with remote diagnostic monitoring, wellness education, and medication monitoring. These services provide a continuum of support and position us to be at the forefront of outcomes-based requirements for healthcare.
A critical component of our Outcomes Optimizer is the ability to provide feedback to physicians and close the communication loop with web-based access to patient information for home healthcare providers, hospitals, and physicians. To ensure the discharge management process continues the hospital's relationship with the patient at the home, our Outcome Optimizer system provides critical data feedback and continuous, real-time patient data flow to multiple providers after discharge. These factors are distinctive to our services and emphasize a private-branded full continuum of care for the hospital.
VIRTUAL NURSE(TM) MARKETING AGREEMENT
In April, 2007, we acquired a 9% minority interest in Virtual Nurse, Inc. of Palm Beach Gardens, FL, and entered into a joint Marketing Agreement to introduce Patient Portal and Virtual Nurse(TM) services to healthcare institutions throughout the United States.
Virtual Nurse's mission is to provide healthcare organizations with efficient, cost-effective nursing solutions. It offers the highest quality of care through experienced, skilled, productive, and motivated nurses who benefit from the convenience of working at home on a flexible time schedule. As a result, it is able to give healthcare facilities assurance that every patient receives condition-specific education before entering their facilities and ensure that every assessment has been carefully documented and delivered on time.
Virtual Nurse's “PASS” (Pre-Admission Screening Services) program fulfills a critical need in the healthcare industry as expenditures continue to increase and nursing shortages become greater Virtual Nurse offers the expertise of registered nurses without the challenges or costs of adding on-site staff. Virtual Nurse's RNs perform the administrative medical screening tasks usually conducted by registered nurses in a healthcare facility, with one important distinction: their RNs are dedicated to this service seven days a week, including extended hours, while hospital nurses attempt to contact patients during abbreviated calling hours.
Virtual Nurse enables healthcare providers to reallocate all available RNs to medical areas where they are needed most, free from the time-consuming administrative responsibilities of calling patients and coordinating paperwork. Further, the perception to patients is that the healthcare facility is the service provider. Therefore, the healthcare facilities gain improved patient care and satisfaction, superior customer service, and enhanced brand image.
HEALTHCAST(TM) PATIENT NETWORK SYSTEM LICENSE AGREEMENT
As part of our healthcare services package, we have recently begun to market the newly-developed HealthCast Patient Network System under an exclusive technology license from Omnicast, Inc. HealthCast is the first suite of customized hospital television channels that invites viewers to interact with channel programming and delivers condition-specific content directly to a patient's TV, IP phone, or home computer. HealthCast features an exclusive digital signage platform that promotes an unparalleled level of communication by simultaneously showing video, an information scroll, and additional customized messaging to a single patient, certain patient groups, or to specific areas of the hospital. HealthCast is the only patient network that puts the hospital in control of multiple information streams for an unprecedented level of communication and education for patients and families. In addition, HealthCast's proprietary platform captures viewing metrics so hospitals can document educational content delivery for pay-for-performance reimbursement, and commercial sponsors can respond to patient viewing habits.
HealthCast's Foundation Channel, Education Services Channel, and MyMail station present personalized content to specific patients. In turn, patients have opportunities to interact with the multimedia platform to respond to channel content, such as with live auctions on the Foundation Channel, text messaging or E-Greetings on MyMail, or by answering questions to win prizes after watching condition-specific educational programming. The Foundation Channel promotes fundraising events and announcements with celebrity endorsements and national sponsorship.
MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION OF OUR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES
As of November 21, 2007, the Company has three full-time employees who are primarily responsible for sales and marketing of our products and services directly to healthcare institutions. We also have a comprehensive National Master Dealer Agreement with VOX Technologies, Inc., which utilizes over one hundred independent dealer representatives throughout the United States to market the Company's products and services to healthcare institutions on a commission-only basis. In addition, we have a long-term contract for 24/7 Operator Call Center and Data Management Services with Worldnet Communications, Inc. of Syracuse, NY.
COMPETITION
Our Company’s markets are extremely competitive and are subject to rapid technological change. We believe that our Company is unique in the healthcare industry because we are positioned to provide services and products across the entire patient-service spectrum. Our competitors typically focus products on specific market niches that address a finite need within the industry. We approach the market with more innovation and versatility. Our services coordinate multiple processes toward improved productivity and communication between various stakeholders.
The competition that we face in this healthcare services marketplace can be broken down into two different company types:
Small Niche Competitors: The competition in this category is comprised of smaller companies offering few very specific products. They focus on one or two areas, such as providing patient education information or administrative services. Some of the competitors in this area include Get Well Network, Allen Technologies, Skylight Systems, Beryl, and TeleTracking. Most companies in this category have a very small hospital base (ten or fewer). Patient Portal Connect has a unique advantage vis-à-vis the small-niche competitors because we offer revenue-generating opportunities across a full continuum of care instead of a stand-alone application, 24/7 integration with our Patient Contact Center, access to an extensive customer base, and a long history serving hospitals and patients.
Large Technology-based Providers: The large technology-based providers typically offer very expensive and complex systems that deliver a variety of administrative services at high cost. Companies such as Siemens and Hill-Rom are in this category. Although the product set is enticing, to date they have sold few services due to the cost, complexity of integration, and the amount of systemwide change required to sustain the services. Our technology allows us to integrate new products easily without requiring a cultural shift or debt load. Patient Portal Connect focuses on rapidly deploying less expensive, user-friendly services compared to the competition.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
The Company employs a multiple product and services sourcing strategy that includes internal software and hardware development and licensing from third parties. In the future, Company strategy may also include acquisitions of technologies, product lines or companies.
As part of our business strategy to reduce direct costs and improve margins, elements of some of the Company’s products and services are licensed from third parties. Our main outsourcing activities are related to both developing new modules for our software, and marketing and supporting our product. While our business depends somewhat on our ability to outsource, we are not dependent on any one contractor or vendor.
In the future, the Company may affect select strategic acquisitions to secure certain technology, people and products which complement or augment overall product and services strategy. Both time-to-market and potential market share growth, among other factors, are considered when evaluating acquisitions of technologies, product lines or companies. Management may acquire and/or dispose of other technologies and products in the future.
As a technology and services Company, we realize that we must maintain our investment in research and development to design both new, experimental products and marketing campaigns. Management anticipates incurring additional research and development expenditures as its business grows and adequate cash flow becomes available to fund such costs.
EMPLOYEES
As of November 21, 2007, the Company had 10 employees, of whom 8 were full-time employees and 2 were part-time employees. We also have a comprehensive National Master Dealer Agreement with VOX Technologies, Inc., which utilizes over one hundred independent dealer representatives throughout the United States to market the Company's products and services to healthcare institutions on a commission-only basis. In addition, we have a long-term contract to out-source our 24/7 Operator Call Center and Data Management Services with Worldnet Communications, Inc. of Syracuse, NY.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share and 1,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share. As of November 21, 2007, 33,612,916 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding, 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of outstanding stock options, and 15,217,391 shares of Common Stock were reserved for conversion of the Dutchess Debentures, and 27,646,086 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for exercise of outstanding Common Stock Purchase Warrants. In addition, 40,000 shares of Convertible Redeemable Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding.
COMMON STOCK
Voting, Dividend and Other Rights. Each outstanding share of Common Stock will entitle the holder to one vote on all matters presented to the stockholders for a vote. Holders of shares of Common Stock will have no preemptive, subscription or conversion rights. Our Board will determine if and when distributions may be paid out of legally available funds to the holders. We have not declared any cash dividends during the past fiscal year with respect to the Common Stock. Our declaration of any cash dividends in the future will depend on our Board’s determination as to whether, in light of our earnings, financial position, cash requirements and other relevant factors existing at the time, it appears advisable to do so. In addition, the Company has not declared or paid any dividends and has no plans to pay any dividends to the stockholders.
Rights Upon Liquidation. Upon liquidation, subject to the right of any holders of the Preferred Stock to receive preferential distributions, each outstanding share of Common Stock may participate pro rata in the assets remaining after payment of, or adequate provision for, all our known debts and liabilities.
Majority Voting. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock constitute a quorum at any meeting of the stockholders. A plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders elects our directors. The Common Stock does not have cumulative voting rights.
As discussed on pages 11 of the Prospectus, in “Risks Related to Our Stock Being Publicly Traded,” you may experience substantial dilution if Dutchess converts its Debentures into Common Stock of the Company. Since the Conversion Rate fluctuates at a substantial percentage discount (15%) to fluctuating market prices, the number of shares issuable to Dutchess, upon conversion of the Debentures, is potentially limitless. The following table demonstrates the number of Common Shares of our stock issuable to Dutchess upon conversion of their Debentures under the Maximum Conversion Price as defined in the Debenture Agreement and under 3 different declining Enigma stock price scenarios:
Sensitivity Analysis of Number of Common Shares issuable to Dutchess
at selected Conversion Prices assuming conversion of
all Debentures held by Dutchess for $7 million face value
Conversion Price and Market Price Benchmarks | | # of potential Common Shares issuable to Dutchess | |
Maximum Conversion Price of $0.46 | | | 15,217,391 | |
Conversion Price of $.30 (assuming 25% drop in average market price from Maximum Conversion Price to $.35) | | | | |
Conversion Price of $.20 (assuming 50% drop in average market price from Maximum Conversion Price to $.23) | | | | |
Conversion Price of $.10 (assuming 75% drop in average market price from Maximum Conversion Price to $.12) | | | | |
Dutchess’ overall ownership at any one moment is limited to 4.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock in accordance with the financing documents. However, Dutchess is free to sell any shares into the market, which have been issued to them, thereby enabling Dutchess to convert the remaining Debentures or exercise additional warrants into shares of Common Stock.
CONVERTIBLE REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

The Redemption Price for each share shall be $12.50 per share plus an interest factor which shall accrue from the date of issuance through the date of redemption.

The holders of the Class A Stock shall be entitled to receive in preference to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock, when, as and if declared by the Company Board of Directors, annual dividends at the rate of $.10 per share and no more.

(d) Holder shall fund (i) five million seven hundred fifty thousand dollars ($5,750,000) upon the Closing, and an additional (ii) one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($1,250,000) upon the filing of a Registration Statement with the SEC.
(e) Holder will be granted a security interest in all of Company's and its Subsidiaries' assets, currently owned or hereinafter acquired, (as defined in Schedule 3(a) of the Subscription Agreement), as more fully set forth in the Security Agreement.
(f) The Company shall pay a twelve percent (12%) annual coupon on the unpaid amount of the Debenture, commencing December 1, 2007 and continuing while there is an outstanding balance on the Debenture, in an amount equal to the interest on the balance on the Debenture.
(g) Conversion Rights of the Holder:
Holder of this Debenture, subject to Article 2 of the Debenture, shall have the right to convert (a "Conversion") any and all amounts owing under this Debenture into shares of common stock of Company, par value $0.001 per share (the "Common Stock"), at any time following the Closing Date (as such term is defined in that certain Subscription Agreement, of even date herewith, by and between Company and Holder but which is before the close of business on the Maturity Date, except as set forth in Section 3.2(c) of the Debenture. The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the Conversion of this Debenture is determined pursuant to Section 3.2 pf the Debenture and rounding the result up to the nearest whole share.
This Debenture may only be converted, whether in whole or in part, in accordance with Article 3 of the Debenture.
In the event all or any portion of this Debenture remains outstanding on the Maturity Date, the unconverted portion of such Debenture shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock on such date in the manner set forth in Section 3.2 of the Debenture.
Common Stock to be Issued. Upon Holder's Conversion of any Debenture, Company shall issue the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Conversion. If, at the time of Conversion, the Registration Statement has been declared effective, Company shall instruct its transfer agent to issue stock certificates without restrictive legend (other than a legend referring to such Registration Statement and prospectus delivery requirements) or stop transfer instructions. If, at the time of Holder's Conversion, the Registration Statement has not been declared effective, Company shall instruct the transfer agent to issue the certificates with an appropriate legend. Company shall act as Registrar and shall maintain an appropriate ledger containing the necessary information with respect to this Debenture. Company represents and warrants to Holder that no instructions, other than these instructions, have been given or will be given to the transfer agent and that the Common Stock shall otherwise be freely resold, except as may be otherwise set forth herein.
Conversion Price. Holder is entitled to convert the unpaid Face Amount of this Debenture, plus accrued interest, any time following a Closing Date, at the lesser of the following prices (each (i) and (ii) being the "Conversion Price"): (i) eighty-five percent (85%) of the lowest closing bid price of the Common Stock during the twenty (20) trading days immediately prior to a Conversion Notice; or (ii) 46/100 U.S. dollars ($0.46) ("Maximum Conversion Price"). No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of shares will be issued upon Conversion, but the number of shares issuable shall be rounded up, in the event of a partial share, to the nearest whole share. Holder shall retain all rights of Conversion during any partial trading days.
Maximum Interest. Nothing contained in this Debenture shall be deemed to establish or require Company to pay interest to Holder at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid exceeds the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, the rate of interest required to be paid thereunder shall be automatically reduced to the maximum rate permitted under applicable law and such excess, if so ordered, shall be credited on any remaining balances due to Holder. In the event that the interest rate on this Debenture is required to be adjusted pursuant to this Section 3.2(d), then the parties hereto agree that the terms of this Debenture shall remain in full force and effect except as is necessary to make the interest rate comply with applicable law.
Limitation on Issuance of Shares. If Company's Common Stock becomes listed on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market after the issuance of this Debenture, Company may be limited in the number of shares of Common Stock it may issue by virtue of (A) the number of authorized shares or (B) the applicable rules and regulations of the principal securities market on which the Common Stock is listed or traded, including, but not necessarily limited to, NASDAQ Rule 4310(c)(25)(H)(i) or Rule 4460(i)(1), as may be applicable (collectively, the "Cap Regulations"). Without limiting the other provisions thereof: (i) Company will take all steps necessary to issue the Conversion Shares without violating the Cap Regulations, and (ii) if, despite taking such steps, Company cannot issue such Conversion Shares without violating the Cap Regulations or Holder cannot convert as a result of the Cap Regulations (each such Debenture, an "Unconverted Debenture") Holder shall have the right to elect either of the following options:
(a) if permitted by the Cap Regulations, require Company to issue shares of Common Stock in accordance with Holder's Notice of Conversion at a conversion purchase price equal to the average of the closing bid price per share of Common Stock for any five (5) consecutive Trading Days (subject to certain equitable adjustments for certain events occurring during such period) during the sixty (60) Trading Days immediately preceding the Conversion Date; or
(b) require Company to redeem each Unconverted Debenture for an amount (the "Redemption Amount"), payable in cash, equal to the sum of (i) one hundred thirty-three percent (133%) of the principal of an Unconverted Debenture, plus (ii) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon through and including the date on which the Redemption Amount is paid to Holder (the "Redemption Date").
Holder may elect, without limitation, one of the above remedies with respect to a portion of such Unconverted Debenture and the other remedy with respect to other portions of the Unconverted Debenture. The Unconverted Debenture shall contain provisions substantially consistent with the above terms, with such additional provisions as may be consented to by Holder. The provisions of this Section are not intended to limit the scope of the provisions otherwise included in the Unconverted Debenture.
Limitation on Amount of Conversion and Ownership. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Debenture, in no event shall Holder be entitled to convert that amount of Debenture, and in no event shall Company permit that amount of conversion, into that number of shares, which when added to the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned, (as such term is defined under Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as may be amended, (the "Exchange Act")), by Holder, would exceed four and ninety-nine one hundredths percent (4.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Conversion Date, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-1(j) of the Exchange Act. In the event that the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act is different on any Conversion Date than it was on the Closing Date, then the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such Conversion Date shall govern for purposes of determining whether Holder would be acquiring beneficial ownership of more than four and ninety-nine one hundredths percent (4.99%) of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such Conversion Date. However, nothing in this Section 3.2(i) shall be read to reduce the amount of principal, Interest or penalties, if any, due to Holder.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
We had outstanding 33,612,916 shares of Common Stock as of the date of this prospectus. All 5,433,022 shares registered pursuant to this prospectus will be freely tradable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). If shares are purchased by our “affiliates” as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, their sales of shares would be governed by the limitations and restrictions that are described below.
In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person who has beneficially owned shares of a company’s common stock for at least one year is entitled to sell within any three month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:
(1) 1% of the number of shares of our Common Stock then outstanding; or
(2) the average weekly trading volume of the Company’s Common Stock during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on form 144 with respect to the sale.
Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about the Company.
Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been one of our affiliates at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years, including the holding period of any prior owner other than an affiliate, is entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, notice filing, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144.
Future sales of substantial amounts of our Common Stock in the public market following the Offering, or the possibility of these sales occurring, could affect prevailing market prices for our Common Stock or could impair our ability to raise capital through an offering of equity securities.
SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth information with respect to the maximum number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the selling stockholders named below and as adjusted to give effect to the sale of the shares offered hereby. The shares beneficially owned have been determined in accordance with rules promulgated by the SEC, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. The information in the table below is current as of November 1, 2007. All information contained in the table below is based upon information provided to us by the selling stockholders and we have not independently verified this information. The selling stockholders are not making any representation that any shares covered by the prospectus will be offered for sale. The selling stockholders may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus any or all of the Common Stock being registered.
For purposes of this table, beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules, and includes voting power and investment power with respect to shares and shares owned pursuant to warrants exercisable within 60 days. The “Number of Shares Beneficially Owned After Offering” column assumes the sale of all shares offered.
As explained below under “Plan of Distribution,” we have agreed with the selling stockholders to bear certain expenses (other than broker discounts and commissions, if any) in connection with the Registration Statement, which includes this prospectus. For a detailed description of the Debenture Agreement with Dutchess, whereby the selling stockholders may convert the Debenture into shares of our Common Stock, please see above, “Description of Securities”, page 44.

(3) Represents 5,433,022 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the $2,499,190 of the convertible debenture at maximum price of $.46 per Share.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Registration Statement relates to the Offering of 5,433,022 shares of Common Stock owned by Dutchess. Such shares of common stock are not outstanding, but Dutchess beneficially owns the underlying shares because the Debentures can be converted at Dutchess’ election.
The Company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of such shares. The selling stockholders will sell their Common Stock at the prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. These shareholders may be underwriters as defined by the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders have advised us that the sale or distribution of our Common Stock owned by the selling stockholders may be effected by the selling stockholders as principals or through one or more underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents from time to time in one or more transactions (which may involve crosses or block transactions) (i) on the over-the-counter market or on any other market in which the price of our shares of Common Stock are quoted or (ii) in transactions otherwise than in the over-the-counter market or in any other market on which the price of our shares of Common Stock are quoted. Any of such transactions may be effected at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices, at varying prices determined at the time of sale or at negotiated or fixed prices, in each case as determined by the selling stockholders or by agreement between the selling stockholders and underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, or purchasers. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions by selling their shares of Common Stock to or through underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents, such underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of Common Stock for whom they may act as agent (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, brokers, dealers or agents may be in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).
The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
| · | ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers; |
| · | block trades in which the broker-dealer 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-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account; |
| · | an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange; |
| · | privately negotiated transactions; |
| · | short sales after this Registration Statement becomes effective; |
| · | broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share; |
| · | a combination of any such methods of sale; and |
| · | any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law. |
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
The selling stockholders may also engage in short sales against the box after this Registration Statement becomes effective, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of shares of Common Stock by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.
The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares of Common Stock owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
The selling stockholders also may transfer the shares of Common Stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus and may sell the shares of Common Stock from time to time under this prospectus after we have filed an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares of Common Stock. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Each of the selling stockholders acquired the securities offered hereby in the ordinary course of business and has advised us that they have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares of Common Stock, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with a proposed sale of shares of Common Stock by any selling stockholder. If we are notified by any selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares of Common Stock, if required, we will file a supplement to this prospectus. If the selling stockholders use this prospectus for any sale of the shares of Common Stock, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of our Common Stock and activities of the selling stockholders.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders Of
Patient Portal Technologies, Inc.
And Subsidiary
We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Patient Portal Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of he Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Patient Portal Technologies, Inc. and Subsidiary as of December 31, 2006, and the results of operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and a net capital deficiency that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding those matters also are described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 1 -- GOING CONCERN
As shown in the Company's Annual financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss of ($401,408) during the year ended December 31, 2006 and ($130,653) during the year ended December 31, 2005. Additionally, the Company had a stockholders' equity of $717,977 during the year ended December 31, 2006; however, its working capital at that time is not sufficient to support the Company's losses from operations at existing levels for the next year. The Company plans to raise more capital through public or private financing, through the issuance of its common stock, the issuance of debt instruments, including debt conve3rtible to equity, or otherwise attain financing, which if available, it cannot be certain such financing will be on attractive terms. Should the Company obtain more capital, in turn, it may cause dilution to its existing stockholders and providing the company can obtain more capital, it cannot be assured to ultimately attain profitability. These factors create substantial doubt as to the Company's ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company intends to continue its efforts to complete the necessary steps in order to meet its cash flow requirements throughout fiscal 2007 and to continue its product development efforts and adjust its operating structure to reduce losses and ultimately attain profitability. Management's plans in this regard include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Raise additional working capital by either borrower or through the issuance of equity, or both;
2. Negotiate terms with existing trade creditors and strategic vendors; negotiate an alliance with strategic co-ventures for stronger distribution channels in the health care markets.
3. Re-align revenue producing activities and corresponding commission arrangements on such a scale that will proportionately reduce selling expenses and reduce other costs wherever possible to improve operating margins and relieve the overhead burden until ultimately profitability may be attained.
Management believes that actions presently being taken will generate sufficient revenues to provide cash flows from operations and that sufficient capital will be available, when required, to permit the Company to realize its plans. However, there can be no assurance that this will occur. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE 2 -- ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PATIENT PORTAL TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (the "Company") organized under the laws of the State of Delaware, in November, 2002. The Company was formerly a sun-care and skin-care company specializing in the development, manufacture and sale of all-natural sun-, skin-, and body-care products to the resort, boutique, spa and natural health markets.
Effective December 31, 2002, the Company acquired a 60% ownership
position in Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc., ("Caribbean Pacific Natural Products") which is a developer and marketer of all-natural sun-care and skincare products for luxury resorts, theme parks and spas. In December 2002, the Board of Directors of The Quigley Corporation ("Quigley") approved a plan to sell Caribbean Pacific Natural Products and on January 22, 2003, completed the sale of Quigley's 60% equity interest in Caribbean Pacific Natural Products to the Company.
Effective September 28, 2005, the Company sold its entire equity interest in Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc. and CP Suncoast Manufacturing, Inc. to Suncoast Nutriceuticals, Inc. (SNI) in exchange for a two-year Promissory Note in the principal amount of $250,000 and 3,500,000 Shares of Common Stock of SNI. The assets and liabilities attributable to the two subsidiaries were assumed by SNI as a result of this transaction.
On December 8, 2006, the Registrant acquired 100% of the capital stock of Patient Portal Connect, Inc. of Palm Beach Gardens, FL through the issuance of 17,500,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company to the shareholders of Patient Portal Connect, Inc. in a tax-free share exchange. As a result of this transaction, Patient Portal Connect, Inc. became a wholly-owned operating subsidiary of the Company.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Company and its 60% owned subsidiary, Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc. All inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position, consolidated results of operations and consolidated cash flows, for the periods indicated, have been made. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the 2002 presentation.

RECAPITALIZATION OF CARIBBEAN PACIFIC NATURAL PRODUCTS, INC.
Material sales and expenses included in prior consolidated financial statements of the Company resulted from the inclusion of financial information of the Company's 60% owned subsidiary Caribbean Natural Products, Inc. ("Caribbean Pacific Natural Product"), which is a developer and marketer of all-natural sun-car and skincare products for luxury resorts, theme parks and spas. In December 2002, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to acquire Caribbean Pacific Natural Products. On January 22, 2003, the Company acquired a 60% equity interest in Caribbean Pacific Natural Products. In exchange for its 50% equity interest in Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, the Company issued to the Quigley Corporation: (I) 750,000 shares of the Company's common stock, which Suncoast has agreed, at its cost, to register for public resale through an appropriate registration statement; and (ii) 100,000 shares of Suncoast's Series A Redeemable Preferred Stock, which bears certain redemption features discussed in Note 6 - Redeemable Preferred Stock.
Pursuant to SFAS No. 141, which applies to business combinations after September 30, 2001, which requires the use of the purchase method of accounting for all business combinations, carrying forward the guidance from APB 16 with respect to: (a) the principles of historical cost accounting; (b) determining the cost of the acquired entity; and (C) allocation of cost to assets and liabilities assumed; "Caribbean Pacific Natural Products" is considered the acquiring entity. As such the historical balances of "Caribbean Pacific Natural Products" assets and liabilities representing the carrying value and corresponding allocation of the purchase price, and therefore, the transaction is equivalent to a reverse acquisition, which in this case, no partial step up in asset values discussed in EITF 90-3 apply, and thereby no goodwill or intangible assets have been recorded. The equity issued by the Company was valued at the (a) present value of the redeemable preferred shares issued to "Quigley" and (b) common stock and additional paid in capital was recorded to the value of the remaining liability to "Quigley" cancelled by the exchange agreement.
ACCOUNTING FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION OF CARIBBEAN PACIFIC NATURAL PRODUCTS, APPLICATION OF SAB 103
During the years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, the results of operations, cash flows and assets and liabilities of Caribbean Pacific Natural Products were included in the consolidated financial statements of the Quigley Corporation, the effect of which were reported as discontinued operations in 2002. The financial statements of "Quigley" were audited by another auditor, and the results of this subsidiary were not reported separately. Recently the staff of Corporate Finance Division of the Securities and Exchange Commssio0n, "SEC," provided guidance in the codification of its staff accounting bulletins ("SABS") and in discussion of accounting for former subsidiaries, such as the case with Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, indicated that reasonable estimates for expenses of the use of a parent company's capital (I.e. interest) and other corporate charges connected with operating as a stand alone entity (including legal fees, audit fees and administrative expenses) should be estimated when the division or subsidiary is presented individually. Caribbean Pacific Natural Products was divested by the Company on September 28, 2005. The financial statements include such estimates and additional expenses were recorded, and a like amount was credited to additional paid in capital for the periods presented as follows:

INVENTORIES
While inventories were stated at the lower of cost or market, and the Company used the first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method of determining cost for all inventories, inventories were sold as of September 30, 2005, at the time that the subsidiary was sold.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

CASH EQUIVALENTS
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents include cash on hand and monies invested in money market funds. The carrying amount approximates the fair market value due to the short-term maturity of these investments.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company's carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the short maturities of these financial instruments. The carrying amounts reported n the consolidated balance sheets for long-term debt due to related parties approximate their fair values as they represent the amount the Company expects to liquidate these obligations with cash or cash equivalents, and the amounts recorded as other liabilities - redeemable preferred stock approximate their fair value as they represent the amount in which the Company expects to satisfy these obligations by payment in cash in 2007 or by the issuance of the Company's equity without material gain or loss.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
Sales are recognized at the time ownership is transferred to the customer, which is primarily the time the shipment is received by the customer. In limited instances, selected trial periods, whereby the customer has the right of return until the selected trial period ends, the Company recognizes revenue when the trial period ends and no right of return exists.
Sales returns and allowances are provided for in the period that the related sales are recorded. Provisions for these reserves are based on historical experience.
As required, effective January 1, 2003, the Company has adopted the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 101, "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" which provides guidelines on applying generally accepted accounting principals to revenue recognition based upon the interpretations and practices of the SEC. The Company recognizes revenue for its products at the time of shipment, at which time, no other significant obligations of the Company exist, other than normal product warranties.

SHIPPING AND HANDLING
The Company includes costs of shipping and handling billed to customers in revenue and the expense of shipping and handling costs is included in cost of sales.
STOCK BASED COMPENSATION
Financial Accounting Statement No. 123, Accounting for tock Based Compensation, encourages, but does not require companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation plans at fair value. Through December 31, 2003, the Company had chosen to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic method prescribed in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options issued through December 31, 2003, was measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company's stock at the date of the grant over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock.
Effective for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2004, and for December 31, 2006, the Company has adopted the fair value method of accounting described in SFAS 123 and SFAS 148.
ADVERTISING
Advertising costs are expensed within the period in which they are utilized. Advertising expense is comprised of media advertising, presented as part of sales and marketing expense; co-operative advertising, which will be accounted for as a deduction from sales; and free product, which is accounted for as part of cost of sales. No advertising costs were incurred for the year-ended December 31, 2005.
INCOME TAXES
The Company utilizes an asset and liability approach which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. In estimating future tax consequences, the Company generally considers all expected future events other than enactments of changes in the tax law or rates. See Notes to Financial Statements, Note 7 – Income Taxes for further discussion.
START-UP AND RE-ALIGNMENT COSTS
Pursuant to Statement of Position 98-5, the Company expenses start-up costs associated with its parent company's activation activities and costs and expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition of Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, which pursuant to FASB 142 and APB 16, were expensed as transaction costs. The Statement of Position broadly defines start-up activities as activities associated with, opening a new facility, introducing new products or services, conducting business with a new class of customers or in a new territory, and starting a new process in an existing facility or starting a new operation. Re-alignment costs are costs associated with changing the contractual distribution agreements to an existing customer base. Start up and re-alignment costs for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2005 were $300,204 and $0 respectively.

MINORITY INTERESTS
The Company's "Caribbean Pacific Natural Products" subsidiary is 40% owned by a related party whom has made a nominal investment, of which losses since inception have reduced the investment to a value of $0. The Company has not recorded earnings in the "Caribbean Pacific Natural Products" subsidiary. Had the Company attained and recorded net income in this subsidiary, 40% would have been allocated to the minority shareholders, and cumulatively, and had this subsidiary accumulated earnings in excess of its cumulative losses, the Company would have recorded amounts allocable to "minority interest," which would be a reduction of stockholders' equity.
Effective September 28, 2005, the Company sold its entire equity interest in Caribbean Pacific Natural Products, Inc. and CP Suncoast Manufacturing, Inc. to Suncoast Nutriceuticals, Inc. (SNI) in exchange for a two-year Promissory Note in the principal amount of $250,000 and 3,500,000 Shares of SNI Common Stock.

PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS
Item 24.Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 102(a)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”) authorizes Delaware corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for breach of the directors' fiduciary duty of care. The duty of care requires that, when acting on behalf of the corporation, directors must exercise an informed business judgment based on all material information reasonably available to them. Absent the limitations now authorized by such legislation, directors are accountable to corporations and their stockholders for monetary damages for conduct constituting gross negligence in the exercise of their duty of care. Although Section 102(a) does not change directors' duty of care, it enables corporations to limit available relief to equitable remedies such as injunction or rescission. Our certificate of incorporation limits the liability of our directors to us or our stockholders (in their capacity as directors but not in their capacity as officers) to the fullest extent permitted by Section 102(a). Specifically, our directors will not be personally liable for monetary damages for breach of a director's fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability: (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchase or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or (iv) for any transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes Delaware corporations to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorney's fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person 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 not reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful.
Section 145(g) of the DGCL authorizes Delaware corporations to purchase insurance covering liabilities asserted against directors, officers, employees and agents.
Our directors and officers are indemnified as provided by the DGCL and in our bylaws. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons controlling us 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. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense or any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by one of our directors, officers or controlling persons in connection with any of our securities that are being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our legal counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution
The following table sets forth the expenses expected to be incurred by us in connection with the issuance and distribution of the Common Stock registered hereby, all of which expenses, except for the SEC registration fee, are estimates:
Description | | Amount | |
Registration Fee | | $ | 25.00 | |

On November 2, 2007, the Company issued 1,000,000 shares of our common stock to Worldnet Communications, Inc. in connection with the Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement. The transaction is intended to be exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 as a sale by an issuer not involving a public offering or under Regulation D promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933. The common stock was not registered under the Securities Act, or the securities laws of any state, and was offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration afforded by Section 4(2) and Regulation D (Rule 506) under the Securities Act and corresponding provisions of state securities laws, which exempts transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. Such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements and certificates evidencing such shares contain a legend stating the same.
On November 1, 2007, the Company sold Debentures to Dutchess Private Equities Fund, LTD in the principal amount of Seven Million dollars ($7,000,000), convertible into shares of Common Stock of the Company. The issuance and sale of the Debentures is intended to be exempt from registration by virtue of Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act and the provisions of Regulation D thereunder, based on the Company’s belief that the offer and sale of the Debentures did not involve a public offering, as all of the purchasers were “accredited” investors and no general solicitation was involved in the offering.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Company, we have been advised that in the opinion of the SEC 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 Company in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will, unless in the opinion of our 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.
The undersigned Company hereby undertakes that it will:
(1) File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement to:
| (i) | Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
| (ii) | Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; |
| (iii) | Include any additional or changed information on the plan of distribution. |
(2) For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each such post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.
(3) File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
(4) For determining liability of the undersigned Company under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned Company undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned Company pursuant to this Registration Statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned Company will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
| (i) | Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned Company relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; |
| (ii) | Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned Company or used or referred to by the undersigned Company |
| (iii) | The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned Company or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned Company; and |
| (iv) | Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned Company to the purchaser.Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the Registration Statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided however , that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement or prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the Registration Statement or prospectus that was part of the Registration Statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use. |
