Information Statement to Stockholders
This Information Statement is being furnished to you, as a holder of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Common Stock”), of MedAire, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“MedAire” or the “Company”), on October ___, 2007.
The purpose of the enclosed Information Statement is to notify you that Procuro, Inc., the holder of 50,500,369 shares representing 87.13% of the voting power of MedAire, Inc. as of October 2, 2007 (the “Record Date”), has approved by written consent a resolution adopted unanimously by the Board of Directors of MedAire, Inc. to effect a reverse split of the Company’s Common Stock in a ratio of one-for-five thousand (the “Reverse Stock Split”). In the event that a stockholder holds only a fractional share following the Reverse Stock Split, MedAire, Inc. will purchase all of that stockholder’s shares (on a pre-split basis) for US$1.11 per share. Subsequent to the Reverse Stock Split and the purchase by MedAire, Inc. of all fractional shares, there will be a stock split of five thousand-for-one (the “Forward Stock Split” and together with the Reverse Stock Split, the “Stock Split”) so that the shares authorized for issuance by the Company and the par value per share shall be the same as before the Reverse Stock Split.
The enclosed Information Statement is being mailed on October ___, 2007 to stockholders of record as of the Record Date by the Company’s Board of Directors.
Nevada law provides that any stockholder who is obligated to accept money or scrip rather than receive a fraction of a share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split may dissent in accordance with the provisions of NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, and obtain payment of the fair value of the fraction of a share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled. A stockholder will be entitled to relief as a dissenting stockholder if and only if he or she complies strictly with all of the procedural and other requirements of Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Stockholders should carefully read the detailed discussion of dissenter’s rights as well as the full text of the requirements of Nevada law to exercise dissenter’s rights, which is attached asAnnex E.
The Stock Split will be effective without further notice or action on November ___, 2007, the date that is thirty days after the date of the mailing of this Information Statement to the Company’s stockholders. As soon as practicable following the effectiveness of the Stock Split, we will file a Form 15 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to terminate the registration of our Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
The Nevada Revised Statutes permit holders of a majority of the voting power to take stockholder action by written consent. Accordingly, MedAire, Inc. will not hold a meeting of its stockholders to consider or vote upon the resolution by the Board of Directors that has been approved by stockholders holding more than 75% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock.
NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION HAS: APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED OF THE TRANSACTION; PASSED UPON THE MERITS OR FAIRNESS OF THE TRANSACTION; OR PASSED UPON THE ADEQUACY OR ACCURACY OF THE DISCLOSURE IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

SUMMARY OF THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT
The following is a summary of the Stock Split as described in this Information Statement.
This Information Statement contains a more detailed description of the Stock Split. We encourage you to read carefully the entire Information Statement and each of the documents that we have attached as an Annex. Unless otherwise stated, all dollar amounts are stated in U.S. dollars.
Background
After analysis of the costs and benefits of the Company’s status as a public company in the U.S., the Company’s management approached the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) with a proposal to take the Company “semi-private.” Management suggested that the costs of remaining a public company in the U.S. had been and would continue to be significant to the Company’s operating results and proposed a number of alternative transactions that would result in the Company no longer being required to file periodic reports in the U.S. Management suggested that the Company retain its listing on the Australian Stock Exchange (the “ASX”) to provide potential liquidity for stockholders, thus making the Company public in Australia, but private in the U.S. The Board subsequently referred to the proposal as the “going semi-private transaction.”
At a meeting held on August 28, 2007, the Board discussed the going semi-private transaction, and created a special committee (the “Special Committee”) to (i) review whether a going semi-private transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and any other persons that the Special Committee deems necessary or desirable to consider under Nevada corporate law, and, if so, on what terms the Special Committee believes such a transaction to be in such best interests, (ii) consult with and pay the expenses of all special legal counsel and experts necessary for the Special Committee to make an informed recommendation with respect to a going semi-private transaction, including obtaining a fairness opinion from Kaulkin Ginsberg Lavine, LLC (“KG Lavine”) or such other independent valuation firm as the Special Committee deems reasonable in its discretion and (iii) present its report and recommendation to the Board.
The Special Committee reviewed management’s report with respect to a going semi-private transaction, conducted such an investigation and met with valuation experts and legal counsel to discuss various options for the Company to achieve private status in the U.S. The Special Committee also considered a provision in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Charter”) that would affect the structure of the going semi-private transaction. Section 14 of the Charter provides that a stock split is a “Business Combination,” which requires particular approval of stockholders. A Business Combination involving an “Interested Stockholder,” as defined in the Charter to include any stockholder with more than 10% of the shares of the Company’s outstanding voting stock, must be approved by the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting stock held by stockholders other than the Interested Stockholder (the “majority of the minority”). The Special Committee noted that the Board had concluded at its August 28, 2007 meeting that Procuro, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Procuro”), held at the time approximately 84% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock, and could therefore be considered an “Interested Stockholder,” although Procuro would not receive treatment different from that of any other stockholder. The Special Committee concluded that the most conservative course would be to evaluate the going semi-private transaction as if Procuro were an Interested Stockholder and elected to proceed in that fashion. Given Procuro’s significant holdings, the Special Committee concluded that obtaining the approval of the majority of the minority (assuming Procuro was an Interested Stockholder) would be logistically difficult and inefficient given the number of stockholders with small holdings in such group and their residence in many foreign jurisdictions. The Special Committee noted that the Charter provides an exception to this majority of the minority requirement if certain conditions, as discussed more fully below under “Description of the Stock Split—Voting Requirements” are met, and concluded that the Company should structure any going semi-private transaction to take advantage of such exceptions.
Nevada law provides that any stockholder who is obligated to accept money or scrip rather than receive a fraction of a share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split may dissent in accordance with the provisions of NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, and obtain payment of the fair value of the fraction of a share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled. A stockholder will be entitled to relief as a dissenting stockholder if and only if he or she complies strictly with all of the procedural and other requirements of Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Stockholders should carefully read the detailed discussion of dissenter’s rights as well as the full text of the requirements of Nevada law to exercise dissenter’s rights, which is attached asAnnex E.

After the investigations and deliberations described above, the Special Committee concluded that the most advantageous structure for the transaction was to effect a reverse stock split in which any stockholder holding a fractional share after the reverse stock split would be paid $1.11 per share held on a pre-split basis. One of the exceptions to the majority of the minority approval requirement described above is that stockholders receive as cash consideration in the Business Combination a price per share that is at least as high as the highest price paid per share paid by an Interested Stockholder during the preceding two years. Management analyzed this requirement, reviewing Forms 3 and 4 filed during the past two years, and concluded that such price was $1.11, paid by Excellus Investments Pte Ltd. (“Excellus”), a stockholder of Procuro, in an off-market transaction on May 30, 2007. This price exceeded the price that KG Lavine’s opinion defined as the relative per share value – $0.88 per share. See “Description of the Stock Split—Voting Requirements” for a further discussion of the determination of the price per share.
The Special Committee concluded that such a Reverse Stock Split would result in the Company having only approximately 80 stockholders. Fifteen option holders would also remain. Given this small number of stockholders and the value of the Company’s total assets, pursuant to applicable U.S. securities laws, the Company would no longer be required to file periodic reports with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). At a meeting held on September 19, 2007, the Special Committee concluded that relief from these periodic reporting requirements would provide substantial benefits to the Company and its stockholders and that these benefits outweighed any disadvantages, and agreed to recommend the going semi-private transaction in its report to the Board. See “Special Factors” below for further discussion of this decision.
Nevada law provides that any stockholder who is obligated to accept money or scrip rather than receive a fraction of a share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split may dissent in accordance with the provisions of NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, and obtain payment of the fair value of the fraction of a share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled. A stockholder will be entitled to relief as a dissenting stockholder if and only if he or she complies strictly with all of the procedural and other requirements of Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Stockholders should carefully read the detailed discussion of dissenter’s rights as well as the full text of the requirements of Nevada law to exercise dissenter’s rights, which is attached asAnnex E.
At a meeting held on September 19, 2007, the Special Committee presented its report to the Board. After this presentation, the Board concluded that the going semi-private transaction was in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders and resolved to recommend the going semi-private transaction, on the terms more fully set forth in the remainder of this Information Statement, to the stockholders for their approval.
On October 2, 2007, Procuro, Inc. approved the going semi-private transaction by written consent. In accordance with the Charter, this consent will be effective on November ___, 2007, the date that is thirty days after the date of the mailing of this Information Statement to the Company’s stockholders (the “Effective Date”).
The Stock Split
The Board has authorized, and the holders of more than 75% of our outstanding Common Stock have approved by written consent, a one-for-five thousand reverse stock split of our Common Stock (the “Reverse Stock Split”). When the reverse stock split becomes effective, if you hold fewer than 5,000 shares of Common Stock (and therefore a fractional share after the Reverse Stock Split), you will receive a cash payment of $1.11 per pre-split share of Common Stock held by you.
Nevada law provides that any stockholder who is obligated to accept money or scrip rather than receive a fraction of a share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split may dissent in accordance with the provisions of NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, and obtain payment of the fair value of the fraction of a share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled. A stockholder will be entitled to relief as a dissenting stockholder if and only if he or she complies strictly with all of the procedural and other requirements of Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Stockholders should carefully read the detailed discussion of dissenter’s rights as well as the full text of the requirements of Nevada law to exercise dissenter’s rights, which is attached asAnnex E.
The Board has authorized, and the holders of more than 75% of our outstanding Common Stock have approved by written consent, following the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, an immediate five thousand-for-one forward stock split of our Common Stock (the “Forward Stock Split” and together with the Reverse Stock Split, the “Stock Split”). If you hold more than one share of Common Stock after the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split, you will not receive a cash payment and the number of shares you hold will be returned by the Forward Stock Split to the same number as you held before the Reverse Stock Split. The Forward Stock Split will help the Company avoid the administrative cost of issuing new stock certificates to all stockholders and also means that the shares of our Common Stock authorized for issuance by the Company and the par value per share shall be the same as before the effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split.
There is no preferred stock outstanding so there will be no changes in authorized amount or par value of the preferred stock after the Stock Split.

Reasons For and Purposes of the Stock Split
When the Stock Split becomes effective, we will be eligible to cease filing periodic reports with the Commission and we intend to cease public registration of our Common Stock in the U.S. We project annual savings from deregistration of our Common Stock in the U.S. to be $650,000. We will also enjoy a one-time savings of $240,000 because we will not be required to comply with the internal control of financial reporting requirements for public companies as required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”). See also the information under the captions “Special Factors—Reasons for and Purposes of the Stock Split” and “Recommendation of the Board with respect to the Stock Split” in this Information Statement.
The Board has determined that the Stock Split is fair to the Company’s stockholders, including its unaffiliated stockholders, from a financial point of view and is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Board further agreed with the Special Committee’s conclusions as presented in its report, including that the cost savings of being a private company in the U.S. would be significant, the Company does not need to access the public market to raise sufficient capital for its operations, the Company’s stockholders, creditors, customers and suppliers would benefit from greater attention from management if management had to spend less time and focus on meeting public company requirements, and stockholders had not benefited greatly from the Company’s public company status given the limited public float and relatively thin trading of the Company’s shares resulting in part from Procuro’s substantial holdings. Nonetheless, because the Company will retain its listing on the ASX, stockholders who are not cashed out in the Stock Split will still have the opportunity for liquidity with respect to their shares and the Company will remain subject to the listing rules and other applicable regulations of the ASX. See also the information under the caption “Recommendation of the Board with respect to the Stock Split” in this Information Statement.
Fairness of the Stock Split
Our Board retained the services of KG Lavine to advise the Board as to the fair value of our pre-split shares and to render an opinion as to the fairness of the Stock Split, from a financial point of view, to our unaffiliated stockholders who will receive a cash payment in lieu of fractional shares following the Reverse Stock Split. The Special Committee confirmed in its deliberations that KG Lavine was a suitable independent valuation firm and did not exercise its authority to engage another independent valuation firm.
The full text of the written opinion of KG Lavine, which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered, and the qualifications and limitations on the scope of the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached to this Information Statement asAnnex A. This description of KG Lavine’s opinion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the opinion. Stockholders are urged to, and should, read the opinion carefully and in its entirety. For a more detailed description of KG Lavine’s opinion, see the information under the caption “Fairness of the Stock Split to Stockholders—Opinion of KG Lavine” in this Information Statement.
Tax Effects of the Reverse Stock Split
For stockholders who receive a cash payment in the Reverse Stock Split and cease to hold, either directly, or indirectly giving effect to applicable attribution rules, shares of post-split Common Stock, you will recognize a gain or loss for federal income tax purposes for the difference between the amount of cash received and the aggregate tax basis in your shares of Common Stock. See also the information under the caption “Effects of the Stock Split—Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Stock Split” in this Information Statement if you are a U.S. stockholder. The income tax consequences, if any, for non-U.S. stockholders will or may be different.You are urged to consult with your own tax advisor regarding the tax consequences of the Stock Split in light of your own particular circumstances.
7
Appraisal Rights of Dissenting Stockholders
Any stockholder that would receive cash in connection with the Stock Split, in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock to which that stockholder would otherwise be entitled, has the right under the Nevada Revised Statutes to obtain payment of the fair value of such fractional share. Any stockholder that wishes to exercise its appraisal rights in connection with the Reverse Stock Split must deliver to us written notice of such stockholder’s intent to do so not later than 8:00 a.m. Mountain Standard Time, on the Effective Date, November ___, 2007, using the form (or a similar notice) provided herewith asAnnex B. Failure to deliver us written notice of your intent to exercise your appraisal rights prior to the time and date above, would be deemed a waiver of your appraisal rights. If any dissenting stockholder and we cannot agree to the fair value of such fractional share, the fair value will be determined in a proceeding before a district court in the State of Nevada. See “Description of the Stock Split—Appraisal Rights.”

SPECIAL FACTORS
Reasons for and Purposes of the Stock Split
Section 12(g) of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) generally requires registration with the Commission within 120 days after the last day of the first fiscal year in which an issuer has total assets exceeding $10 million and a class of equity security held of record by 500 or more persons. Having exceeded these thresholds, in 2005, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form 10 with the Commission and became subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, including the obligation to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and proxy and information statements, including this Information Statement. At that time, the Company’s Common Stock was not listed in the U.S., but was listed on the ASX, although trading volumes were relatively low. The ASX Listing Rules were substantially less burdensome on the Company than the Commission’s rules under the Exchange Act, and Exchange Act rules have become even more burdensome and costly over time leading the Board to approve the Stock Split.
At the time, we thought our required Exchange Act registration could conceivably provide the tangential benefit of facilitating a more active trading market for our Common Stock through a potential listing on a recognized U.S. exchange or quotation system. However, in early 2006, our stockholder base began to further consolidate, initially through the letter agreements dated December 17, 2005 between Best Dynamic Services Limited (“BDS”) and Ms. Joan Sullivan Garrett as more fully discussed in our Information Statement on Schedule 14C dated February 9, 2006, and more recently through the formation of Procuro, Inc., whereby BDS and Excellus (which are controlled by International SOS Assistance, Inc. (“ISOS”)) and Gaelic, LLC (“Gaelic”) (which is controlled by Ms. Sullivan Garrett) contributed their shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Procuro in exchange for Procuro common stock. See “Information about the Company—Related Party Transactions” in this Information Statement. As of October 2, 2007, Procuro held 87.13% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock, leaving very little public float in the hands of non-affiliates to support a trading market.
Accordingly, a U.S. listing was never pursued, and the Company’s Common Stock continues to be traded at low volumes on the ASX. Stockholders should not be confused by the fact that the Company has a stock symbol indicating it is listed in the U.S. on the so-called “pink sheets” (a centralized information system provided by Pink Sheets, LLC). This symbol was assigned without any action by the Company, predates our Exchange Act registration, and is only in place because over-the-counter trading of a security that is not listed, traded or quoted in the U.S. on any stock exchange, the OTCBB or the Pink Sheets must be reported by broker-dealers to their self regulatory organization, which then disseminates the trade data to Pink Sheets, LLC. Such trading in our Common Stock by U.S broker-dealers is rare and we believe such trades are most likely executed through the ASX.
The primary purpose of the Stock Split is to reduce the number of record holders of our Common Stock to fewer than 300 so that we can terminate the registration of our Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The Stock Split is expected to result in the elimination of the expenses related to our disclosure and reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and to decrease the administrative expense we incur in servicing a large number of record stockholders who own relatively small numbers of our shares.
The Board believes that any material benefit derived from continued registration under the Exchange Act is outweighed by the cost. Particularly as a result of the increased cost and tangible and intangible burdens associated with being a public company following the passage of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we do not believe that continuing our U.S. public company status is in the best interest of the Company or our stockholders.
After review and full discussion of the Special Committee report, the Board concluded that it agrees with the Special Committee’s conclusions that:
| • | | the costs to the Company of becoming compliant with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act will be approximately $125,000 annually, after the incurrence of one-time costs of approximately $240,000; |
|
| • | | administrative, audit and legal costs, including costs related to complying with the rules and requirements of the Commission total approximately $450,000 annually; |
9
| • | | if the Company were private in the U.S., directors’ and officers’ liability insurance premiums would be approximately $75,000 less annually than they are currently; |
|
| • | | the potential reduction in costs of operations after the going semi-private transaction is approximately $650,000; |
|
| • | | 900 of the Company’s 1,500 stockholders own less than 100 shares of the Company’s Common Stock and several have indicated an interest in a buyback of their shares; |
|
| • | | the cost savings available to the Company after the Stock Split are significant and would strengthen the Company’s financial position; |
|
| • | | the Company does not need to access the public market in the U.S. to raise sufficient capital for its operations; |
|
| • | | if the Company were private in the U.S., the Company and its stockholders would benefit from greater attention from management whose time and focus is currently distracted by the requirements applicable to U.S. public companies; and |
|
| • | | the Company’s Common Stock is not listed on a U.S. stock exchange, and our minority stockholders will continue to have the potential to trade shares (as they have in the past) through the Company’s listing on the ASX after the Stock Split. |
Our status as a U.S. public company has not only failed to benefit our stockholders materially, but also, in the Board’s view, places an unnecessary financial burden on us. That burden has only risen in recent years, since the enactment of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a public company, we incur direct costs associated with compliance with the Commission’s filing and reporting requirements imposed on public companies. To comply with the public company requirements, we incur approximately $650,000 annually before taxes in related expenses as set forth under “Special Factors—Estimated Future Annual Savings to be Realized if the Company Goes Private in the U.S.” below. By going private in the U.S. we will avoid the requirement to be in compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, governing internal controls and procedures, by the end of this fiscal year, which we estimate would otherwise cost an additional $240,000 based on the publicly available data with respect to the costs of such initial compliance by public companies similarly situated to MedAire in terms of revenues and number of staff.
Estimated Future Annual Savings to be Realized if the Company Goes Private in the U.S.
| | | | |
Audit Fees | | $ | 100,000 | |
Internal Control Testing | | | 125,000 | |
Stockholder Communications | | | 50,000 | |
Legal Fees | | | 180,000 | |
Director and Officer Insurance | | | 75,000 | |
Transfer Agent Fees | | | 50,000 | |
Other | | | 70,000 | |
| | | | |
Total | | $ | 650,000 | |
The amounts of savings set forth above are only estimates. The actual savings that we may realize may be higher or lower than the estimates set forth above. In light of our current size, opportunities and resources, the Board does not believe that the costs of remaining a public company in the U.S. are justified. Therefore, the Board believes that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to eliminate the administrative, financial and additional accounting burdens associated with being a U.S. public company.
The requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act impose burdens on Company management who expend a great deal of time on the preparation and review of our public filings. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer in particular expend significant amounts of time to take the actions necessary to certify the financial statements in each of our public filings as required under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Since we have relatively few executive personnel, the relative costs and impact on resources of these and other requirements are substantial. Additionally, we have found it difficult to attract and retain independent directors without increasing director compensation and obtaining additional directors and officers’ liability insurance.

See the information set forth under the caption “Special Factors—Strategic Alternatives Considered” in this Information Statement for an additional description of the reasons why our Board approved the Stock Split instead of another alternative transaction structure.
The Stock Split is expected to relieve us of the administrative burden, cost and other disadvantages associated with filing reports and otherwise complying with the requirements of registration under the federal securities laws by allowing us to deregister our Common Stock. Those stockholders who are not cashed out in the Stock Split will retain the benefits of our ASX listing and will continue to have an option for liquidity of their shares.
We presently have approximately 1,500 holders of our Common Stock, including registered holders and holders in street name, of which approximately 1,420 stockholders each own fewer than 5,000 shares. In the aggregate, the shares held by these small holders comprise less than 1% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. The administrative burden and cost to us of maintaining records with respect to these numerous small accounts and the associated cost of preparing, printing and mailing information to them is, in the Board’s view, excessive given our limited size and the nature of our operations. These expenditures result in no material benefit to us. The Stock Split will enable us to reduce this burden and cost.
Ratio for the Reverse Stock Split
The Board set the ratio for the Reverse Stock Split at one-for-five thousand. We believe that, as of the Record Date, we had approximately 80 holders of our Common Stock who held in excess of 5,000 shares of our Common Stock. The Reverse Stock Split will cause us to cash out shares held by any stockholder holding fewer than 5,000 shares of Common Stock. When the Reverse Stock Split is consummated, holders of Common Stock owning fewer than 5,000 shares will no longer have any equity interest in the Company and will not participate in our future earnings or any increases in the value of our assets or operations. See also information set forth under the captions “Recommendation of the Board with respect to the Stock Split” and “Fairness of the Stock Split to Our Stockholders” in this Information Statement.
Strategic Alternatives Considered
In making the determination to proceed with the Stock Split, the Company reviewed a number of other strategic alternatives. As discussed below, the Board ultimately rejected the alternatives to the Stock Split because the Board believed that the Stock Split would be the simplest and most cost-effective approach by which to achieve the purposes described above. Some of the alternatives reviewed included:
Self-tender offer.The Board considered a cash self-tender offer by which we would offer to repurchase shares of our outstanding Common Stock. The results of an issuer tender offer would be unpredictable, however, due to its voluntary nature. The Board was uncertain as to whether this alternative would result in shares being tendered by a sufficient number of record stockholders so as to permit us to reduce the number of record stockholders below 300 and to terminate our public reporting requirements. The Board believed it unlikely that many holders of small numbers of shares would make the effort to tender their shares. In addition, the Board considered that the estimated transaction costs of completing a tender offer would be similar to or greater than the costs of the Stock Split, but there could be no certainty that a sufficient number of shares would be tendered.
Purchase of shares in the open market.The Board also considered purchasing our shares in the open market in order to reduce the number of our record stockholders to fewer than 300. However, given the relatively low daily trading volume of our Common Stock, there was no assurance that purchasing stock in isolated transactions would reduce the number of stockholders sufficiently to permit us to terminate our public reporting requirements under the Exchange Act and deregister within a reasonable period of time. Additionally, the Company has many stockholders who hold small numbers of shares. For stockholders with such small holdings, the transaction costs payable by such stockholders in connection with a sale of shares on the open market could exceed the amount of consideration payable in an open market purchase.

Consideration Per Share
As discussed more fully under “Description of the Stock Split—Voting Requirements,” the Board concluded that it should treat the Stock Split as a Business Combination under the Charter. The Board also concluded that, given the significance of the Stock Split, the most conservative course was to treat Procuro as an Interested Stockholder when analyzing the requirements imposed by the Charter with respect to a Business Combination, although Procuro would not receive treatment different from that of any other stockholder in the Stock Split. Finally, the Board concluded that obtaining the approval of a majority of the minority (66 2/3% of the stockholders other than Procuro) would be logistically difficult, and therefore determined that complying with the exceptions to such requirement provided by the Charter was the best course. One of those exceptions is that stockholders be paid a price per share in the Business Combination that is at least as high as the highest price paid by an Interested Stockholder in the two years prior to the Business Combination. Management’s analysis of Forms 3 and 4 filed with the Commission during such time period revealed a purchase by Excellus, a significant stockholder in Procuro, on May 30, 2007 in an off-market transaction at a price per share of $1.11. In its fairness opinion, KG Lavine determined that, based on its judgment, the relative per share value of our Common Stock was $0.88. The fairness opinion also notes that the assessed value of $0.88 is less than the $1.11 paid by an Interested Stockholder during the two-year look back period. The fairness opinion provides that, subject to the qualifications and conditions set forth therein, in KG Lavine’s opinion, as of September 28, 2007, the payment of $1.11 per share for fractional shares in the Reverse Stock Split is fair, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders being cashed out in the Reverse Stock Split.
Nevada law provides that any stockholder who is obligated to accept money or scrip rather than receive a fraction of a share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split may dissent in accordance with the provisions of NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, and obtain payment of the fair value of the fraction of a share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled. A stockholder will be entitled to relief as a dissenting stockholder if and only if he or she complies strictly with all of the procedural and other requirements of Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Stockholders should carefully read the detailed discussion of dissenter’s rights as well as the full text of the requirements of Nevada law to exercise dissenter’s rights, which is attached asAnnex E.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE COMPANY
Ownership of Our Major Stockholders
On April 23, 2007, the Company’s three largest stockholders, Gaelic, BDS and Excellus, filed Schedules 13D with the Commission disclosing that these three stockholders have contributed their shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Procuro, and entered into a Shareholders Agreement dated April 18, 2007.
Gaelic is controlled by Joan Sullivan Garret, Chairman and Founder of the Company. ISOS owns and controls BDS and Excellus.
Generally, the Schedules 13D provide as follows:
Procuro’s principal business is to hold, manage, acquire, dispose of, and vote shares of Common Stock of the Company. At the date of the Shareholders Agreement, Procuro acquired 44,340,369 shares or 77.08% of the Company’s Common Stock through the contribution of shares by each of the Company’s three largest stockholders as follows:
| | | | |
Gaelic: | | | 18,676,065 | |
BDS: | | | 14,780,149 | |
Excellus: | | | 10,884,155 | |
Gaelic, BDS and Excellus each contributed shares of Company Common Stock to Procuro in exchange for an equal number of shares of common stock of Procuro. All shares of the Company Common Stock, approximately 10,400 shares, held by Ms. Sullivan Garrett individually are in the process of being contributed to Procuro by Ms. Sullivan Garrett in exchange for common stock of Procuro. The stated purpose of the transfer of the Common Stock to Procuro is to facilitate the orderly transfer of the Company Common Stock owned by Gaelic and Ms. Sullivan Garret to BDS and its affiliates in connection with the Shareholders Agreement dated April 18, 2007 among Procuro, Gaelic, BDS, Excellus and Ms. Sullivan Garrett (the “Shareholders Agreement”) and the Letter Agreements dated December 17, 2005, between BDS and Ms. Sullivan Garrett more fully discussed in the Company’s Information Statement on Schedule 14C dated February 9, 2006.

On June 5, 2007, Gaelic transferred ownership of an additional 1,725,000 shares of Procuro common stock to BDS for a price of (Australian Dollars) A$1.20 (US$0.9946) per share. As of October 2, 2007, Ms. Sullivan Garrett and Gaelic hold shared voting and dispositive power over 15,236,465 shares of Common Stock of the Company due to Ms. Sullivan Garrett’s role as a director of Procuro and because Ms. Sullivan Garrett has the authority to direct how votes of Company Common Stock are cast with respect to the number of shares of Procuro Common Stock owned by Ms. Sullivan Garrett and Gaelic in certain instances described in the Shareholders Agreement.
Based on information filed with the Commission on Form 4, during the sixty days prior to the date of this Information Statement, Excellus and Procuro have engaged in the following transactions (in addition to those described above):

Pursuant to the Letter Agreements, BDS and Ms. Sullivan Garrett agreed to execute certain Consent Resolutions and to urge other stockholders to approve such Consent Resolutions. As described in the definitive Information Statement on Schedule 14C, filed on February 9, 2006, the executed Consent Resolutions caused a substantial change in the composition of the Company’s Board of Directors with the election of six new Directors nominated by BDS. As reported by BDS on its Schedule 13D filed with the SEC on December 27, 2005, BDS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Blue Cross Travel Services B.V., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of International SOS (EMEA) Holdings N.V. (“ISOSH”), which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEA International Holdings Limited. Each such entity disclaims any beneficial ownership of any of the securities to which such report relates, except to the extent of each such entity’s indirect pecuniary interest in
18
such securities. Arnaud P.A. Vaissie, Pascal M.G. Rey-Herme, and Laurent Sabourin, collectively, have investment and voting power with respect to the securities of AEA International Holdings Limited and may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the securities held by BDS. Each such person disclaims any beneficial ownership of any of the securities to which such report relates, except to the extent of each such person’s indirect pecuniary interest in such securities.
Ms. Sullivan Garrett also agreed to refrain from selling, pledging or otherwise disposing of the common stock or voting power through the common stock for a period of five years, subject to specified exceptions. Ms. Sullivan Garrett also agreed to grant to BDS or its designee a right of first offer to purchase the common stock held by Ms. Sullivan Garrett at the purchase price defined in the Letter Agreements.
Also pursuant to the Letter Agreements, following the effectiveness of the Consent Resolutions, Joan Sullivan Garrett, who continues as our Chairman, was appointed for a period of 5 years as a member of the Board of Directors of AEA Investment, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of AEA International Holdings, Ltd., a corporation organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands and the parent company of BDS and ISOS. The Letter Agreements provide that Ms. Sullivan Garrett will be paid a fee of $4,667.67 per month in connection with her director services to AEA, and fees may be paid in advance.
Pursuant to the Letter Agreements, Ms. Sullivan Garrett and BDS entered into a Shareholders Agreement, effective March 1, 2006, pursuant to which they agreed not to vote their respective shares of common stock in any way inconsistent with the terms of the Letter Agreements. For 5 years, the Shareholders Agreement further requires BDS and Ms. Sullivan Garrett to vote all of its or her shares and take all other necessary or desirable actions within its or her control so that (a) the size of the Board of Directors of the Company will be established and maintained at nine (9); and the individuals named in the remainder of this paragraph will be elected to the Board of Directors of the Company. Initially, the individuals shall be (i) six (6) directors nominated by BDS, (ii) Ms. Sullivan Garrett, and (iii) two (2) directors nominated by Ms. Sullivan Garrett. Once Ms. Sullivan Garrett’s share ownership has been reduced to one-half of her current holdings, the individuals shall be (i) seven (7) directors nominated by BDS, (ii) Ms. Sullivan Garrett, and (iii) one (1) director nominated by Ms. Sullivan Garrett. Once Ms. Sullivan Garrett’s share ownership has been reduced to one-tenth of her current holdings, the individuals shall be (i) eight (8) directors nominated by BDS, and (ii) Ms. Sullivan Garrett.

19
| • | | that if an all cash tender offer is commenced by a third party for the Company’s common stock during the term of the Shareholders Agreement and if the board of directors of Procuro cannot agree on whether to participate in the tender offer, then any holder of Procuro common stock may participate in the tender offer with respect to its pro rata share of Company common stock held by Procuro unless the stockholder who does not elect to participate in the tender offer agrees to buy the other’s shares of Procuro common stock at the tender offer price and on the tender offer closing; |
|
| • | | that if Procuro, any of BDS and Excellus or their respective affiliates desire to acquire shares of Company common stock from any third parties, whether in the form of a tender offer, acquisition, option, merger or otherwise (an “Acquisition”), and Ms. Garrett and Gaelic are required or eligible to vote on such Acquisition, Ms. Garrett and Gaelic agree to vote all of their shares of Procuro common stock or Company common stock in favor of the Acquisition and, in the event of the closing of the Acquisition, Ms. Garrett and Gaelic shall have the right to sell their shares of Procuro common stock to BDS and Excellus at the price specified in the Shareholders Agreement; |

BACKGROUND OF THE STOCK SPLIT
The Board and Company management have had frequent discussions over the past six months at Board meetings regarding the costs and benefits of the Company’s status as a registrant under the Exchange Act, and the imminent cost to comply with the internal control over financial reporting requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes Oxley Act by the end of 2007.
In early 2007, the Company engaged the assistance of Osborn Maledon, PA as outside counsel to explore possible alternatives for going private in the U.S., including a reverse stock split.
20
On August 28, 2007 the Board met to consider further the possible going semi-private transaction, and heard a report from Osborn Maledon, PA as to the various means by which a Nevada corporation may go private, including by means of a reverse stock split. Osborn Maledon, PA also advised the Directors as to their fiduciary responsibilities to all stockholders of the Corporation in considering whether to recommend a reverse stock split or another going semi-private transaction for approval by the stockholders. The Board concluded that a special committee should be established to (i) review whether a going semi-private transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, and any other persons that the Special Committee deems necessary or desirable to consider under Nevada corporate law, and, if so, on what terms the Special Committee believes such a transaction to be in such best interests, (ii) consult with and pay the expenses of all special legal counsel and experts necessary for the Special Committee to make an informed recommendation with respect to a going semi-private transaction, including obtaining a fairness opinion from KG Lavine or such other independent valuation firm as the Special Committee deems reasonable in its discretion and (iii) present its report and recommendation to the Board. The Board also ratified management’s prior engagement of KG Lavine to serve as financial advisor to the Board in connection with the contemplated going semi-private transaction, subject to the rights of the Special Committee to engage an additional or different financial advisor in its reasonable discretion.
At the August 28 meeting, the Board then discussed the composition of the Special Committee and noted that the proposed going semi-private transaction would be a “Business Combination” as such term is defined in the Charter. The Board further took note that such a transaction involving an “Interested Stockholder” as such term is defined in the Charter to include any stockholder holding more than 10% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock required the approval of 66 2/3 % of the stockholders who were not Interested Stockholders. The Board noted that Procuro held approximately 84% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock at that time, and could therefore be considered an “Interested Stockholder,” although Procuro would not receive treatment different from that of any other stockholder. The Board concluded that the most conservative course would be to evaluate the going semi-private transaction as if Procuro were an Interested Stockholder and elected to proceed in that fashion. Given Procuro’s significant holdings, the Board concluded that obtaining the approval of the majority of the minority (assuming Procuro was an Interested Stockholder) would be logistically difficult and inefficient given the number of stockholders with small holdings in such group and their residence in many foreign jurisdictions. The Board then turned to certain exceptions to the majority of the minority approval requirement. In the event that cash consideration was to be paid to the stockholders in the Business Combination, one of two requirements had to be met to avoid the majority of the minority approval requirement – either (i) a majority of the Continuing Directors (as defined in the Charter to include any Director who was a Board member when the Company’s Charter was filed in October 2002, any Director who became a Board member after such date who is not an affiliate, associate or representative of the Interested Stockholder and any successor to a Continuing Director who is not an affiliate, associate or representative of an Interested Stockholder and is recommended or elected to succeed the Continuing Director by a majority of Continuing Directors) must approve the Business Combination or (ii) certain disclosure and pricing conditions must be met, including that the stockholders be paid as consideration for each of their shares the higher of the fair market value per share of the Company’s Common Stock or the highest price paid per share by the Interested Stockholder within the two-year period prior to the announcement of the Business Combination. The Board concluded after full discussion that meeting one or both of these conditions to the exception from the majority of the minority approval requirement would be more efficient than obtaining such approval given the logistical concerns.
Nevada law provides that any stockholder who is obligated to accept money or scrip rather than receive a fraction of a share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split may dissent in accordance with the provisions of NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, and obtain payment of the fair value of the fraction of a share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled. A stockholder will be entitled to relief as a dissenting stockholder if and only if he or she complies strictly with all of the procedural and other requirements of Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Stockholders should carefully read the detailed discussion of dissenter’s rights as well as the full text of the requirements of Nevada law to exercise dissenter’s rights, which is attached as Annex E.
With the advice of counsel, the Board determined that Ms. Sullivan Garrett was the sole Continuing Director, and that Board approval including the approval of Ms. Sullivan Garret would be sufficient to take advantage of the exception to the majority of the minority approval requirement. Noting Ms. Sullivan Garrett’s affiliate relationship with the Company’s controlling stockholder, Procuro, the Board determined that it was necessary and desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to comply with both conditions in the Charter – i.e., Board approval including Ms. Sullivan Garrett and disclosure of the proposed transaction and purchasing fractional shares resulting from the proposed transaction in accordance with the formula set forth in the Company’s Charter.
The Board then designated Joan Sullivan Garrett, James Williams, Dr. Roy Herberger and Terry Giles to participate on the Special Committee, with the precise composition of the Special Committee to be confirmed later by the Board with advice from the Company’s outside legal counsel. After taking into account such legal advice, the Board
21
subsequently confirmed, by unanimous consent, that Terry Giles and Dr. Roy Herberger comprise the members of the Special Committee. The Board believed that:
| • | | for efficiency’s sake, the Special Committee should be comprised of a small number of directors; |
|
| • | | each director should be in a position to act independently without any personal interest with regard to the proposed going semi-private transaction; |
|
| • | | Mr. Giles and Dr. Herberger have no material personal interest in the proposed going semi-private transaction different from the interest of the Company’s stockholders taken as a whole; |
|
| • | | each of Mr. Giles and Dr. Herberger have served admirably and capably on prior independent committees of the Board; |
|
| • | | the Board could reasonably expect a Special Committee comprised of Mr. Giles and Dr. Herberger to deliver a reliable recommendation and report to the Board; |
|
| • | | Mr. Williams and his senior management team should attend Special Committee meetings as deemed necessary or desirable by and at the invitation of the Special Committee in order to efficiently make senior management’s knowledge and input available to the Special Committee; and |
|
| • | | Ms. Sullivan Garrett should attend all meetings of the Special Committee solely in the capacity of an observer, with no voting rights, but with full rights to ask questions of and discuss her concerns with all relevant experts in order to facilitate her actions as the Continuing Director. |
At a September 5 meeting, the Special Committee heard a presentation from management with respect to the merits and disadvantages of the proposed going semi-private transaction. The Special Committee also heard a presentation from management of a draft fairness opinion presented by KG Lavine as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the proposed Reverse Stock Split to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock. Mr. Lavine of KG Lavine then joined the meeting via telephone to answer questions posed by the members of the Special Committee. Mr. Lavine first confirmed that KG Lavine had not performed any prior work for the Company nor had anyone at MedAire asserted any influence in KG Lavine’s valuation report. The Special Committee discussed with Mr. Lavine several questions with respect to the draft fairness opinion, including questions with respect to the impact of the Company’s financial forecasts on the valuation. After substantial discussion with Mr. Lavine, the Special Committee asked management to prepare longer term financial forecasts that included cost savings resulting from the going semi-private transaction and the Company’s available cash, and asked Mr. Lavine to incorporate such forecasts into a revised draft fairness opinion for the Special Committee’s review. The Special Committee also noted and discussed the level of diligence conducted by KG Lavine and Mr. Lavine to date, including:
| • | | discussions with management; |
|
| • | | review of the Company’s SEC filings; |
|
| • | | review of the Company’s organizational documents, budgets and forecasts; |
|
| • | | comparative analysis of market capitalization and valuation ratios of public companies with businesses similar to the Company; |
|
| • | | comparative analysis of proprietarily available financial terms of transactions involving companies deemed relevant by KG Lavine; and |
|
| • | | enterprise valuation analysis. |
The Special Committee then reviewed the credentials of KG Lavine and Mr. Lavine that had been included in management’s report to the Special Committee. The Special Committee took note that KG Lavine:
| • | | had been in business since 1990; |
|
| • | | had completed in excess of 130 specialty valuations; and |
|
| • | | had issued in excess of 16 fairness opinions, including a recent valuation of another Nevada corporation undertaking a transaction similar to the proposed going semi-private transaction. |
The Special Committee discussed the diligence conducted to that point and the qualifications of KG Lavine and Mr. Lavine and determined that it was comfortable with the competence and expertise of KG Lavine and Mr. Lavine. The Special Committee concurred with the engagement of KG Lavine by the Board, and agreed that there was no need to seek a fairness opinion from another valuation firm.
22
At a September 10, 2007 meeting, the Special Committee continued its discussion of the going semi-private transaction and KG Lavine’s draft fairness opinion. The Special Committee concluded that management should obtain an updated fairness opinion from KG Lavine for presentation to the Board with the Special Committee’s report.
At a September 19, 2007 meeting, the Special Committee further discussed the going semi-private transaction and discussed the structure of the proposed transaction in light of the information obtained by the Special Committee and the parameters set by the Board as more fully described above. The Special Committee also reviewed a revised and updated fairness opinion prepared by KG Lavine which took into account longer term financial forecasts supplied by management. This revised fairness opinion concluded that, based on the judgment of KG Lavine, the relative per share value of our Common Stock was $0.88. The revised fairness opinion also noted that the assessed value of $0.88 is less than the $1.11 paid by an Interested Stockholder during the two-year look back period. The revised fairness opinion provided that, subject to the qualifications and conditions set forth therein, in KG Lavine’s opinion, the payment of $1.11 per share for fractional shares in the Reverse Stock Split is fair, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders being cashed out in the Reverse Stock Split. The Special Committee then turned to the contents of its report and recommendation to the Board. The Special Committee resolved that the Special Committee report consist of the fairness opinion delivered by KG Lavine, the report delivered by management to the Special Committee, the minutes of all Special Committee meetings and the following recommendations:
| • | | that the going semi-private transaction be structured as a one-for-five thousand reverse stock split resulting in fractional stockholders who will be paid cash for their fractional shares at a price per share of $1.11; |
|
| • | | that the reverse stock split be applied to the Company’s outstanding option grants currently outstanding in the hands of approximately 15 option holders, the effect of which will be neutral because the number of shares underlying each outstanding option is in excess of 5,000; |
|
| • | | that following the consummation of the going semi-private transaction, there should be approximately 80 stockholders and approximately 15 option holders remaining, providing a comfortable cushion below the 300 total stockholder threshold the Company needs to fall below in order to de-register with the Commission; |
|
| • | | that the approval of Joan Sullivan Garrett, the sole Continuing Director, be required for the Board to approve the going semi-private transaction; |
|
| • | | that to limit administrative burdens on the Company, the reverse stock split be followed by a forward stock split to return stockholders and option holders who did not hold fractional shares following the reverse stock split to their pre-reverse stock split holdings; |
|
| • | | that the Board seek the consent of Procuro to the going semi-private transaction; and |
|
| • | | that the Board authorize management, once the consent of Procuro has been obtained, to prepare, in consultation with legal counsel, all necessary or desirable communications with the Commission and the ASX. |
The Special Committee further resolved that its report reflect the Special Committee’s belief that the going semi-private transaction is fair to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view and that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders (all of the above listed elements together the “Special Committee Report”).
On September 19, 2007, the Special Committee presented the Special Committee Report to the Board. After full discussion, the Board unanimously, including Joan Sullivan Garrett as the sole Continuing Director but with the members of the Special Committee abstaining in accordance with Nevada law, authorized the Stock Split transaction in the form proposed in the Special Committee Report.
The Board agreed with the Special Committee’s conclusions that the going semi-private transaction in the form of the Stock Split recommended by the Special Committee is fair to the Company’s stockholders from a financial point of view and is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The Special Committee advised the Board that KG Lavine would provide a final version of its draft fairness opinion immediately prior to the filing of this preliminary Information Statement with the Commission, which opinion was delivered to the Board on September
23
28, 2007 and is attached hereto asAnnex A. The Board then authorized management to obtain written consent approving the Stock Split from Procuro, the holder of 87.13% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock as of the Record Date, and to take all actions necessary to implement the Stock Split upon receipt of such consent, including without limitation the distribution of this Information Statement to the Company’s stockholders.
On October 2, 2007 Procuro, Inc. signed a consent authorizing the going semi-private transaction. Such consent is attached hereto asAnnex C.
FAIRNESS OF THE STOCK SPLIT TO OUR STOCKHOLDERS
The Board of Directors believes the proposed Stock Split is fair to the Company’s stockholders, including its unaffiliated stockholders, from a financial point of view and is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. Because the Company intends to go private in the U.S. immediately after the effectiveness of the Stock Split, the Board notes that the Company will no longer be subject to the periodic reporting requirements or the proxy rules of the Exchange Act. Stockholders who are being cashed out will receive an above-market price for their shares, equal to the highest price paid for our shares by an Interested Stockholder in the past two years, without any associated brokers’ or other transaction fees. Stockholders who hold more than 5,000 shares of our Common Stock and continue to hold shares after the Stock Split will continue to have the potential to trade shares (as they have in the past) through the Company’s listing on the ASX.
Engagement of KG Lavine
In determining whether the Stock Split, including the proposed cash payment of $1.11 per share to stockholders whose shares will be cashed out, is fair from a financial point of view to our unaffiliated stockholders, the Board requested an independent financial adviser to render a fairness opinion to the Board with respect to the value to be paid for fractional shares of Common Stock that would otherwise exist following the Reverse Stock Split.
We engaged KG Lavine to advise the Board as to the fair value per pre-split share of our Common Stock and deliver an opinion as to whether the Stock Split is fair, from a financial point of view, to holders of shares of the Company’s Common Stock who will receive cash payments for their pre-split shares and who will not be continuing stockholders of the Company. The Board selected KG Lavine to serve as its advisor because the Board believed KG Lavine is an experienced valuation and financial advisory firm. According to information provided to us by KG Lavine, the firm has advised on at least 85 transactions, and it maintains a proprietary database of public and private transactions. KG Lavine advised the Board that as an advisory and valuation firm it is often privy to transaction information that is not generally known. The Board also authorized the Special Committee to evaluate KG Lavine and to engage a different independent valuation firm in its reasonable discretion.
At its meeting on September 5, 2007, the Special Committee heard a presentation from management of a draft fairness opinion presented by KG Lavine as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the proposed Reverse Stock Split to the holders of the Company’s Common Stock. Mr. Lavine of KG Lavine then joined the meeting via telephone to answer questions posed by the members of the Special Committee. Mr. Lavine first confirmed that KG Lavine had not performed any prior work for the Company nor had anyone at MedAire asserted any influence in KG Lavine’s valuation report. Among other issues discussed at the September 5 meeting, the Special Committee noted and discussed the level of diligence conducted by KG Lavine and Mr. Lavine to date, including:
| • | | discussions with management; |
|
| • | | review of the Company’s SEC filings; |
|
| • | | review of the Company’s organizational documents, budgets and forecasts; |
|
| • | | comparative analysis of market capitalization and valuation ratios of public companies with businesses similar to the Company; |
|
| • | | comparative analysis of proprietarily available financial terms of transactions involving companies deemed relevant by KG Lavine; and |
|
| • | | enterprise valuation analysis. |
The Special Committee then reviewed the credentials of KG Lavine and Mr. Lavine that had been included in management’s report to the Special Committee. The Special Committee took note that KG Lavine:
24
| • | | had been in business since 1990; |
|
| • | | had completed in excess of 130 specialty valuations; and |
|
| • | | had issued in excess of 16 fairness opinions, including a recent valuation of another Nevada corporation undertaking a transaction similar to the proposed going semi-private transaction. |
The Special Committee discussed the diligence conducted to that point and the qualifications of KG Lavine and Mr. Lavine and determined that it was comfortable with the competence and expertise of KG Lavine and Mr. Lavine. The Special Committee concurred with the engagement of KG Lavine by the Board, and agreed that there was no need to seek a fairness opinion from another valuation firm. The methods used by KG Lavine in evaluating and analyzing the proposed Stock Split are discussed in detail below under the caption “Fairness of the Stock Split to Our Stockholders—Opinion of KG Lavine” in this Information Statement.
Procedural Fairness to All Stockholders
During its meeting held on August 28, 2007, the Board considered the procedural fairness of the process by which it was undertaking to review and possibly propose a going semi-private transaction to the stockholders of the Company, including by way of the Stock Split. In particular, the Board determined that the establishment of the Special Committee to advise the Board and our receipt of a valuation and fairness opinion from an independent valuation firm protected the interests of our unaffiliated stockholders (i.e., those stockholders other than management and Procuro). The Board submitted for approval the proposed Stock Split to Procuro, our controlling stockholder which holds more than 75% of our outstanding voting stock, the threshold required to approve the amendment to the Charter to effect the Stock Split in accordance with Nevada law. The Board considered, but decided against, obtaining approval of a majority of the unaffiliated stockholders for the reasons discussed under the caption “Description of the Stock Split—Voting Requirements.” The Stock Split does not require approval by a majority of our unaffiliated stockholders.
The Board did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely on behalf of the unaffiliated stockholders, instead designating a Special Committee to review the proposal and make its recommendation to the Board as more fully discussed under the caption “Background of the Stock Split.”
In connection with the approval process, the Board did not authorize management to grant unaffiliated stockholders special access to our corporate files, nor did it extend the right to retain counsel or appraisal services at our expense. Under the Nevada Revised Statutes and subject to specified conditions set forth under Nevada law, stockholders have the right to review our relevant books and records of account. We believe that this Information Statement, together with our other filings with the Commission, provide adequate information to unaffiliated stockholders.
On September 19, 2007, the Board, following the unanimous recommendation of the Special Committee approved the Stock Split by unanimous vote of all directors, including Ms. Sullivan Garrett as the sole Continuing Director and a majority of non-employee directors, but with the members of the Special Committee abstaining as required by Nevada law, and authorized management to prepare this Information Statement and obtain written consent approving the Stock Split from Procuro, the Company’s controlling stockholder holding more than 75% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock. On October 2, 2007, Procuro delivered its signed consent to the Company, and on the date hereof the Company is mailing this Information Statement to its stockholders of record on the Record Date. The Stock Split will be effective without further notice or action on November ___, 2007, the date that is thirty days after the date of the mailing of this Information Statement to the Company’s stockholders.
Opinion of KG Lavine
On September 5, 2007, KG Lavine delivered the initial draft of its opinion to the Special Committee, which draft was subsequently revised to reflect longer term forecasts of the Company’s operating results and other items at the request of the Special Committee. This revised draft was delivered to the Special Committee and presented to the Board as part of the Special Committee Report. The opinion was finalized on September 28, 2007 to update the opinion as close to the filing of this statement with the Commission as practicable. KG Lavine concluded that, based on the judgment of KG Lavine, the relative per share value of our Common Stock was $0.88. The fairness opinion also noted that the assessed value of $0.88 is less than the $1.11 paid by an Interested Stockholder during
25
the two-year look back period. The fairness opinion provided that, subject to the qualifications and conditions set forth therein, in KG Lavine’s opinion, as of September 28, 2007, the payment of $1.11 per share for fractional shares in the Reverse Stock Split is fair, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders being cashed out in the Reverse Stock Split. A copy of KG Lavine’s fairness opinion is attached to this Information Statement asAnnex A.
The Company paid KG Lavine a fee of $50,000 for its preparation and presentation of its fairness opinion. Neither the Company nor Procuro (or the stockholders of Procuro) have received any services from or paid any fees to KG Lavine or any of its principals during the past two years.
KG Lavine’s opinion sets forth the assumptions made, matters considered and limits on the scope of review undertaken by KG Lavine. Each stockholder is urged to read KG Lavine’s opinion in its entirety. KG Lavine’s opinion was intended for the use and benefit of the Board, does not address the underlying merits of the decision by the Board to engage in the Stock Split, and does not constitute a recommendation to any stockholder as to how that stockholder should vote on the Stock Split or any related matter. This summary of KG Lavine’s opinion is qualified by reference to the full text of the opinion attached asAnnex A.
In arriving at its opinion, KG Lavine, among other things:
| • | | Reviewed with management and the Board the proposed Stock Split; |
|
| • | | Reviewed selected public information on the industry segments served by MedAire; |
|
| • | | Reviewed MedAire’s annual report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006; |
|
| • | | Reviewed publicly filed documents that KG Lavine considered relevant, including Commission Forms 10K, Forms 10Q, Schedules 13D and Forms 3; |
|
| • | | Reviewed the fiscal year 2007 budget prepared by management of MedAire relating to its business; |
|
| • | | Reviewed the fiscal year 2007 forecast prepared by management of MedAire relating to its business; |
|
| • | | Reviewed the discounted cash flow analyses (differing assumptions) prepared by management relating to forecast earnings for fiscal year 2007 through fiscal year 2012 (applying terminal values); |
|
| • | | Discussed with management the discounted cash flow analyses, and revised certain assumptions in such analyses as KG Lavine determined appropriate; |
|
| • | | Requested and reviewed such other organizational documentation and information, as prepared by management of MedAire relating to its business, as KG Lavine considered relevant to the formation of its opinion; |
|
| • | | Reviewed, and determined to be of relevance to the analysis of MedAire, the stock market capitalizations and valuation ratios of public companies whose lines of business and industry segmentation were considered sufficiently similar to those of MedAire, considering its current operations and the forecast by management; |
|
| • | | Compared the proposed financial terms of the Stock Split, and the resultant implied valuation of MedAire, with the proprietarily available financial terms of certain transactions involving companies KG Lavine deemed relevant and the consideration for such companies; |
|
| • | | Performed analyses to consider the enterprise value of MedAire, giving specific emphasis to the potential transfer value of MedAire customers, service offerings and intangible assets; |
|
| • | | Discussed the foregoing information where appropriate with management of MedAire; and |

In connection with the analysis underlying its opinion, KG Lavine accepted at face value and assumed, without independent verification or investigation, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial forecast and other information and selected data made available or furnished to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with KG Lavine for purposes of its opinion. KG Lavine did not independently verify or investigate any of the assumptions, estimates, or judgments referred to in such financial budget, information, data and material and KG Lavine is not responsible for any errors or inaccuracies, should any so exist, in such budget, information, data and material. Further, KG Lavine assumed that there has been no material adverse change in the assets, financial condition,
26
business or prospects of MedAire since the date of the most recent financial statements and budget made available to KG Lavine.
With respect to the financial forecast provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with MedAire, KG Lavine was advised by the management of MedAire that such forecast was reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of the management of MedAire as to the expected future results of operations and financial conditions of MedAire to which such budget relates. KG Lavine can give no assurance, however, that such financial budget can be realized or that actual results will not vary materially from those projected.
In connection with all budgets, information, data and material provided to KG Lavine by MedAire, management of MedAire advised KG Lavine that management did not omit or fail to provide, or cause to be omitted or undisclosed to KG Lavine any analyses, data, material or other information necessary in order to make any financial data, material or other information provided to KG Lavine by MedAire not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such budgets, information, data or material was provided. In the course of KG Lavine’s review, KG Lavine did not learn any specific facts which would lead KG Lavine to believe that KG Lavine’s acceptance and reliance on such budgets, information and data was unreasonable.
KG Lavine did not conduct and was not provided with an independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities, including realty, of MedAire nor did KG Lavine make any physical inspection of the property or assets of MedAire. In connection with its engagement, KG Lavine was not requested to, and did not, solicit third party indication of interest in the possible acquisition of all or a part of MedAire.
KG Lavine expressed no view as to, and its opinion does not address, the relative merits of the Stock Split as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for MedAire or the effect of any other transaction in which MedAire might engage.
The analysis KG Lavine undertook in connection with rendering its opinion involves the exercise of judgment on the part of KG Lavine, as to which differences of opinion may exist. KG Lavine’s opinion is necessarily based on market, economic and other conditions and circumstances existing and made known to KG Lavine as of the date of its opinion. Accordingly, subsequent developments may materially affect KG Lavine’s opinion, however, KG Lavine does not have an obligation to, and has not undertaken to, update, revise or reaffirm its opinion.
Our View of the KG Lavine Analysis
The Board has reviewed the KG Lavine opinion and agreed with its conclusion that the payment of $1.11 per share of Common Stock in lieu of receipt of a fractional share as a result of the Stock Split is fair to our stockholders being cashed out in the Reverse Stock Split from a financial point of view.
EFFECTS OF THE STOCK SPLIT
Effects of the Stock Split on Holders of our Common Stock
The Reverse Stock Split is expected to reduce the number of record holders of our Common Stock and the number of our outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Our Articles of Incorporation currently authorize the issuance of 110,000,000 shares of capital stock, consisting of 100,000,000 shares of Common Stock, and 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock. On the Effective Date, our authorized shares of capital stock will not be reduced because immediately following the contemplated payments to holders of only fractional shares following the Reverse Stock Split, we will effect the Forward Stock Split to restore all other stockholders to their pre-Reverse Stock Split holdings. As of the Record Date, 57,912,337 shares of our Common Stock and no shares of our Preferred Stock were outstanding. If consummated, the Stock Split will reduce the number of stockholders of our Common Stock from approximately 1,500 to less than 100. This reduction in the number of our stockholders will enable us to terminate the registration of our Common Stock under the Exchange
27
Act, which will substantially reduce the information required to be furnished by us to our stockholders and to the Commission.
For a total expenditure by us of up to approximately $220,000 in transaction costs (including, legal, financial, accounting and other costs) plus approximately $475,000 in purchase costs for fractional shares, we estimate we will realize approximately $650,000 in cost savings on an annual basis by terminating our U.S. public company status, plus an additional one-time savings of $240,000 by not having to implement the internal control environment required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We intend to apply for termination of registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act as soon as practicable following completion of the Stock Split. However, the Board reserves the right, in its discretion, to abandon the Stock Split prior to the proposed Effective Date if it determines that abandoning the Stock Split is in the best interests of our stockholders.
The effect of the Stock Split on each stockholder will depend on the number of shares that such stockholder owns. See also information under the caption “Description of the Stock Split” in this Information Statement for additional information with respect to the effect of the Stock Split on each stockholder.
Effects of the Stock Split on Option Holders
On the Record Date the Company had outstanding options to purchase 1,029,253 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at exercise prices ranging from $0.25 to $0.80 per pre-Reverse Stock Split share. Because all option holders hold options to purchase more than 5,000 shares, the Company’s outstanding options will not be affected by the Stock Split. The number of options held by each option holder will be restored to pre-Reverse Stock Split levels by the immediately subsequent Forward Stock Split.
Our options are non-transferable. As of the Record Date, we had 15 option holders.
Potential Disadvantages of the Stock Split
The stockholders owning fewer than 5,000 shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the Effective Date will, after the Reverse Stock Split takes place, no longer have any equity interest in the Company and therefore will not participate in our future potential earnings or growth. Such stockholders could, however, re-acquire an equity interest in the Company through the trading of our Common Stock on the ASX.
The Reverse Stock Split will require stockholders who own fewer than 5,000 shares of Common Stock involuntarily to surrender their shares for cash. These stockholders will not have the ability to continue to hold their shares. The ownership interest of certain stockholders will be terminated as a result of the Reverse Stock Split, but the Board has concluded that the completion of the Reverse Stock Split will be an overall benefit to these stockholders because of the liquidity provided to them by the transaction at a price excluding any brokers or other transaction fees, deemed fair to the stockholders from a financial point of view by KG Lavine and determined by the Board to be fair to the stockholders from a financial point of view.
As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, we intend to terminate the registration of our Common Stock under the Exchange Act. As a result of the termination, we will no longer be subject to the periodic reporting requirements or the proxy rules of the Exchange Act. Our Common Stock is currently traded on the ASX. This source of liquidity and information will continue to be available to our stockholders following the Stock Split and the termination of our registration and reporting obligations to the Commission.
Financial Effect of the Stock Split
Completion of the Stock Split will require approximately $695,000 of cash, which includes the cash payments in lieu of issuing fractional shares to the holders of our Common Stock, legal, accounting, mailing and exchange agent costs and other expenses related to the transaction. As a result, we will have decreased working capital and borrowing capacity following the Stock Split which may have a material effect on our capitalization, liquidity, results of operations and cash flow. The payments to holders of fewer than 5,000 pre-split shares of Common Stock will be paid out of our cash on hand.

Federal Income Tax Consequences of the Stock Split
The following is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Stock Split, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating thereto. This summary is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, all as of the date hereof. These authorities may be changed, possibly retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those set forth below. We have not sought any ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), with respect to the statements made and the conclusions reached in the following summary, and there can be no assurance that the IRS will agree with such statements and conclusions.
This summary also does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any foreign, state or local jurisdiction. In addition, this discussion does not address tax considerations applicable to an investor’s particular circumstances or to investors that may be subject to special tax rules, including, without limitation:
| • | | banks, insurance companies, or other financial institutions; |
|
| • | | persons subject to the alternative minimum tax; |
|
| • | | tax-exempt organizations; |
|
| • | | dealers in securities or currencies; |
|
| • | | traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings; |
|
| • | | persons that own, or are deemed to own, more than five percent of our Company (except to the extent specifically set forth below); |
|
| • | | certain former citizens or long-term residents of the U.S.; |
|
| • | | persons who hold our Common Stock as a position in a hedging transaction, “straddle,” “conversion transaction” or other risk reduction transaction; |
|
| • | | persons who received our Common Stock as compensation for services rendered to the Company as an employee or independent contractor; or |
|
| • | | persons deemed to sell our Common Stock under the constructive sale provisions of the Code. |
In addition, if a partnership holds our Common Stock, the tax treatment of a partner generally will depend on the status of the partner and upon the activities of the partnership. Accordingly, partnerships which hold our Common Stock and partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors.
THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX RULES OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL, FOREIGN OR OTHER TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE TAX TREATY.
TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH U.S. TREASURY DEPARTMENT CIRCULAR 230, STOCKHOLDERS ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED THAT: (1) ANY DISCUSSION OF U.S. FEDERAL TAX LAW ISSUES IN THIS INFORMATION STATEMENT IS NOT INTENDED OR WRITTEN TO BE RELIED UPON, AND CANNOT BE RELIED UPON BY SUCH STOCKHOLDERS, FOR THE PURPOSE OF AVOIDING PENALTIES THAT MAY BE IMPOSED ON STOCKHOLDERS UNDER THE U.S. INTERNAL REVENUE CODE; (2) SUCH DISCUSSION IS WRITTEN IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROMOTION OR MARKETING OF THE TRANSACTION OR MATTER ADDRESSED HEREIN BY MEDAIRE, INC.; AND (3) STOCKHOLDERS SHOULD SEEK ADVICE BASED ON THEIR PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES FROM THEIR OWN INDEPENDENT TAX ADVISORS.
29
Federal Income Tax Consequences to MedAire, Inc.
We believe that the Reverse Stock Split will constitute a reorganization as described in Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code. Accordingly, we will not recognize taxable income, gain or loss in connection with the Reverse Stock Split.
Federal Income Tax Consequences to Stockholders Who Receive Cash
A stockholder who receives cash in the Reverse Stock Split (i.e., a stockholder that owns fewer than 5,000 shares of pre-split Common Stock) will be treated as having such shares redeemed in a taxable transaction governed by Section 302 of the Code and, depending on a stockholder’s situation; the transaction will be taxed as either:
A sale or exchange of the redeemed shares, in which case the stockholder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the cash payment and the stockholder’s adjusted tax basis for the redeemed shares; or
| • | | A cash distribution which is treated: (a) first, as a taxable dividend to the extent of allocable earnings and profits, if any; (b) second, as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in the redeemed shares; and (c) finally, as gain from the sale or exchange of the redeemed shares. |
|
| • | | In the event that a stockholder realizes a loss on the shares redeemed but is deemed to constructively own a sufficient number of shares to not be eligible for sale or exchange treatment, such stockholder will not recognize a loss at the time of the Reverse Stock Split. Rather, the stockholder’s basis in the redeemed stock will be shifted to stock held by the person(s) whose stock ownership is attributed to the stockholder. In such a case, the adjusted tax basis of the stockholder in the shares redeemed will be added to the basis of the shares owned by the related person. At one time, the IRS proposed regulations that would have allowed the stockholder to recognize the loss on the first date on which such stockholder would satisfy one of the Section 302 Tests described above if the facts and circumstances that exist at the end of such day had existed immediately before the Reverse Stock Split. However, these regulations were subsequently withdrawn. As such, under the current regulations in these circumstances the stockholder’s basis in the redeemed stock will be shifted to stock held by the related person(s) whose stock ownership is attributed to the stockholder. This additional basis will be taken into account in determining the gain or loss of such related person(s) when they dispose of their stock. Thus, a stockholder who realizes a loss on the redeemed shares and is not eligible for sale or exchange treatment will not be allowed to recognize the loss. |
Amounts treated as gain or loss from the sale or exchange of redeemed shares will be capital gain or loss. Amounts treated as a taxable dividend are ordinary income to the recipient; however, a corporate taxpayer (other than an S corporation) may be allowed a dividends received deduction subject to applicable limitations and other special rules.
Under Section 302 of the Code, a redemption of shares from a stockholder as part of the Reverse Stock Split will be treated as a sale or exchange of the redeemed shares if:
| • | | the Reverse Stock Split results in a “complete termination” of such stockholder’s interest in the Company; |
|
| • | | the receipt of cash is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the stockholder; or |
|
| • | | the receipt of cash is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” with respect to the stockholder. |
These three tests (the “Section 302 Tests”) are applied by taking into account not only shares that a stockholder actually owns, but also shares that the stockholder constructively owns pursuant to Section 318 of the Code. Under the constructive ownership rules of Section 318 of the Code, a stockholder is deemed to constructively own shares owned by certain related individuals and entities in which the stockholder has an interest in addition to shares directly owned by the stockholder. For example, an individual stockholder is considered to own shares owned by or for his or her spouse and his or her children, grandchildren and parents (“family attribution”). In addition, a stockholder is considered to own a proportionate number of shares owned by estates or certain trusts in which the stockholder has a beneficial interest, by partnerships in which the stockholder is a partner, and by corporations in which 50% or more in value of the stock is owned directly or indirectly by or for such stockholder. Similarly, shares directly or indirectly owned by beneficiaries of estates of certain trusts, by partners of partnerships and, under
30
certain circumstances, by stockholders of corporations may be considered owned by these entities (“entity attribution”). A stockholder is also deemed to own shares which the stockholder has the right to acquire by exercise of an option or by conversion or exchange of a security. Constructively owned shares may be reattributed to another taxpayer. For example, shares attributed to one taxpayer as a result of entity attribution may be attributed from that taxpayer to another taxpayer through family attribution.
A stockholder who receives cash in the Reverse Stock Split (i.e., owns fewer than 5,000 shares of pre-split Common Stock) and does not constructively own any shares of post-split Common Stock will have his or her interest in the Company completely terminated by the Reverse Stock Split and will therefore receive sale or exchange treatment on his or her pre-split Common Stock. That is, such a stockholder will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between the cash payment and the stockholder’s adjusted tax basis for his or her shares of pre-split Common Stock.
A stockholder who receives cash in the Reverse Stock Split and would only constructively own shares of post-split Common Stock as a result of family attribution may be able to avoid constructive ownership of the shares of post-split Common Stock by waiving family attribution and, thus, be treated as having had his or her interest in the Company completely terminated by the Reverse Stock Split. Among other things, waiving family attribution requires (a) that the stockholder have no interest in the Company (including as an officer, director, employee or stockholder) other than an interest as a creditor and does not acquire such an interest during the ten-year period immediately following the Reverse Stock Split other than stock acquired by bequest or inheritance and (b) an election to waive family attribution in the stockholder’s tax return for the year in which the Reverse Stock Split occurs.
A stockholder who receives cash in the Reverse Stock Split and immediately after the Reverse Stock Split constructively owns shares of post-split Common Stock must compare (a) his or her percentage ownership immediately before the Reverse Stock Split (i.e., the number of voting shares actually or constructively owned by him or her immediately before the Reverse Stock Split divided by the number of voting shares outstanding immediately before the Reverse Stock Split) with (b) his or her percentage ownership immediately after the Reverse Stock Split (i.e., the number of voting shares constructively owned by him or her immediately after the Reverse Stock Split divided by the number of voting shares outstanding immediately after the Reverse Stock Split).
If the stockholder’s post-Reverse Stock Split ownership percentage is less than 80% of the stockholder’s pre-Reverse Stock Split ownership percentage, the receipt of cash is “substantially disproportionate” with respect to the stockholder, and the stockholder will, therefore, receive sale or exchange treatment on the portion of his or her shares of pre-split Common Stock exchanged for cash in lieu of fractional shares.
If the receipt of cash by a stockholder fails to constitute an “exchange” under the “substantially disproportionate” test or the “complete termination” test, the receipt of cash may constitute an “exchange” under the “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” test. The receipt of cash by a stockholder will be “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” if the transaction results in a “meaningful reduction” of the stockholder’s proportionate interest in the Company. If (a) the stockholder exercises no control over the affairs of the Company (e.g., is not an officer, director or high ranking employee), (b) the stockholder’s relative stock interest in the Company is minimal, and (c) the stockholder’s post-Reverse Stock Split ownership percentage is less than the stockholder’s pre-Reverse Stock Split ownership percentage, the receipt of cash will generally not be essentially equivalent to a dividend with respect to the stockholder and the stockholder will, therefore, receive sale or exchange treatment on the portion of his or her shares of pre-split Common Stock exchanged for cash in lieu of fractional shares.
In all other cases, the cash payment will be treated: (a) first, as a taxable dividend to the extent of allocable earnings and profits, if any; (b) second, as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the stockholder’s adjusted tax basis in the redeemed shares; and (c) finally, as gain from the sale or exchange of the redeemed shares. In the event that a stockholder realizes a loss on the shares redeemed but is deemed to constructively own a sufficient number of shares to not be eligible for sale or exchange treatment, such stockholder will not recognize a loss at the time of the Reverse Stock Split. Rather, the stockholder’s basis in the redeemed stock will be shifted to stock held by the person(s) whose stock ownership is attributed to the stockholder. In such a case, the adjusted tax basis of the stockholder in the shares redeemed will be added to the basis of the shares owned by the related person. At one time, the IRS proposed regulations that would have allowed the stockholder to recognize the loss on the first date on which such stockholder would satisfy one of the Section 302 Tests described above if the facts and circumstances
31
that exist at the end of such day had existed immediately before the Reverse Stock Split. However, these regulations were subsequently withdrawn. As such, under the current regulations in these circumstances the stockholder’s basis in the redeemed stock will be shifted to stock held by the related person(s) whose stock ownership is attributed to the stockholder. This additional basis will be taken into account in determining the gain or loss of such related person(s) when they dispose of their stock. Thus, a stockholder who realizes a loss on the redeemed shares and is not eligible for sale or exchange treatment will not be allowed to recognize the loss.
Backup Tax Withholding
We are required to furnish to the holders of Common Stock, other than corporations and other exempt holders, and to the IRS, information with respect to dividends paid on the Common Stock.
You may be subject to backup withholding at a rate of up to 31%, with a current rate of 28%, with respect to proceeds received from a disposition of the shares of Common Stock. Certain holders (including, among others, corporations and certain tax-exempt organizations) are generally not subject to backup withholding. You will be subject to backup withholding if you are not otherwise exempt and you (a) fail to furnish your taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), which, for an individual, is ordinarily his or her social security number; (b) furnish an incorrect TIN; (c) are notified by the IRS that you have failed to properly report payments of interest or dividends; or (d) fail to certify, under penalties of perjury, that you have furnished a correct TIN and that the IRS has not notified you that you are subject to backup withholding. Backup withholding is not an additional tax but, rather, is a method of tax collection. You generally will be entitled to credit any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules against your U.S. federal income tax liability provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely manner.
Termination of Exchange Act Registration
Our Common Stock is currently registered under the Exchange Act and listed, traded and quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange.
We are permitted to terminate such registration if there are fewer than 300 record holders of outstanding shares of our Common Stock. As of the Record Date, we had approximately 1,500 holders of our Common Stock. Upon the effectiveness of the Stock Split, we will have approximately 100 holders of our Common Stock. We intend to terminate the registration of our Common Stock under the Exchange Act as promptly as possible after the effective date.
Termination of registration under the Exchange Act will substantially reduce the information which we will be required to furnish to our stockholders and the Commission under the Exchange Act. After we deregister with the Commission in the U.S., we will become private in the U.S. However, our stockholders will continue to have access to our corporate books and records to the extent provided by the Nevada Revised Statutes, periodic financial reports and other filings required by the ASX and any additional disclosures required by applicable law.
We estimate that termination of registration of our Common Stock under the Exchange Act will save us approximately $650,000 per year in accounting, stockholder communication and other expenses, plus an additional one-time savings of $240,000 due to not having to comply with the internal control of financial reporting requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. We also believe our management will have more time to devote to our operations once we become a private company in the U.S. See also information under the caption “Special Factors—Reasons for and Purposes of the Stock Split” in this Information Statement.
DESCRIPTION OF THE STOCK SPLIT
Amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation
The Reverse Stock Split and the Forward Stock Split will each be effected by amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. The form of amendment to effect the Reverse Stock Split, which form has been approved
32
by written consent of the stockholders, is attached hereto as Annex D-1. The form of amendment to effect the Forward Stock Split, which form has been approved by written consent of the stockholders, is attached hereto as Annex D-2. Each of these amendments will be filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on the Effective Date.
Regulatory Approvals
Aside from stockholder approval, the Stock Split is not subject to any regulatory approvals.
Voting Requirements
Under Nevada law, the holders of a majority of our outstanding Common Stock must approve the Reverse Stock Split and the Forward Stock Split. The Company’s Charter, however, imposes certain additional requirements. First, the Charter requires the approval of the holders of 75% of our outstanding Common Stock in order to amend the Charter to effect the Stock Split. Second, because the Board has determined that Stock Split is a Business Combination as such term is defined in the Charter, we must comply with Section 14 of the Charter which provides that a stock split is a Business Combination requiring particular approval of stockholders. A Business Combination involving an “Interested Stockholder,” as defined in the Charter to include any stockholder with more than 10% of the shares of the Company’s outstanding voting stock, must be approved by the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the voting stock held by stockholders other than the Interested Stockholder. The Special Committee and the Board concluded that Procuro, which holds approximately 87.13% of the Company’s outstanding voting stock, could be considered an “Interested Stockholder,” although Procuro will not receive treatment different from that of any other stockholder in the Stock Split. The Board, on recommendation of the Special Committee, concluded that approval of the majority of the minority (assuming Procuro was an Interested Stockholder) would be logistically difficult and inefficient given the number of stockholders with small holdings in such group and their residence in many foreign jurisdictions. Therefore, the Board approved a transaction structure for the Stock Split that would not require majority of the minority approval, which is permitted under the Charter if either of the following conditions is satisfied: (i) a majority of the Continuing Directors (as defined in the Charter to include any Director who was a Board member when the Company’s Charter was filed in October 2002, any Director who became a Board member after such date who is not an affiliate, associate or representative of the Interested Stockholder and any successor to a Continuing Director who is not an affiliate, associate or representative of an Interested Stockholder and is recommended or elected to succeed the Continuing Director by a majority of Continuing Directors) must approve the Business Combination or (ii) certain disclosure and pricing conditions must be met, including that the stockholders be paid as consideration for each of their shares the higher of the fair market value per share of the Company’s Common Stock or the highest price paid per share by the Interested Stockholder within the two-year period prior to the announcement of the Business Combination. The Board determined it to be desirable and in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to structure the Stock Split so that it met both of the foregoing conditions, notwithstanding that the Charter only requires satisfaction of one or the other condition in connection with the Stock Split. Accordingly, the Stock Split may be approved by the consent of the holders of a majority of the Company’s Common Stock, which consent was obtained from Procuro on October 2, 2007.
Nevada law provides that any stockholder who is obligated to accept money or scrip rather than receive a fraction of a share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split may dissent in accordance with the provisions of NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, and obtain payment of the fair value of the fraction of a share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled. A stockholder will be entitled to relief as a dissenting stockholder if and only if he or she complies strictly with all of the procedural and other requirements of Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. Stockholders should carefully read the detailed discussion of dissenter’s rights as well as the full text of the requirements of Nevada law to exercise dissenter’s rights, which is attached asAnnex E.
Holders as of Effective Date; Net Effect of Stock Split
The Stock Split will be effective without further notice or action on November ___, 2007, the date that is thirty days after the date of the mailing of this Information Statement to the Company’s stockholders.
On the Effective Date, Stockholders holding fewer than 5,000 pre-split shares of Common Stock will be cashed out at a price of $1.11 per share, and the holdings of all other stockholders will be unchanged. Any stockholders whose shares are cashed out will have no continuing equity interest in the Company.
NOMINEES AND BROKERS ARE EXPECTED TO DELIVER TO THE COMPANY’S APPOINTED EXCHANGE AGENT THE BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP POSITIONS THEY HOLD. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE A BENEFICIAL OWNER OF COMMON STOCK WHO IS NOT THE RECORD HOLDER OF THOSE SHARES AND WISH TO ENSURE THAT YOUR OWNERSHIP POSITION IS ACCURATELY DELIVERED TO THE COMPANY’S EXCHANGE AGENT, YOU SHOULD INSTRUCT YOUR BROKER OR NOMINEE TO TRANSFER YOUR SHARES INTO A RECORD ACCOUNT IN YOUR NAME. NOMINEES AND BROKERS MAY HAVE REQUIRED PROCEDURES. THEREFORE, SUCH HOLDERS SHOULD CONTACT THEIR
33
NOMINEES AND BROKERS TO DETERMINE HOW TO EFFECT THE TRANSFER IN A TIMELY MANNER PRIOR TO THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE STOCK SPLIT.
Exchange of Certificates for Cash Payment
Computershare Trust Company, Inc. has been appointed as the Exchange Agent to carry out the exchange of fractional share certificates for cash.
As soon as practicable after the Effective Date, record holders holding fewer than 5,000 shares will be notified by the Exchange Agent. Record holders owning fewer than 5,000 shares of Common Stock on the Effective Date will receive in exchange a cash payment in the amount of $1.11 per pre-split share. Those record holders beneficially owning at least 5,000 shares of Common Stock will continue to hold the same number of shares of Common Stock after the Stock Split.
On the Effective Date, any stockholder owning fewer than 5,000 shares of the currently outstanding Common Stock will cease to have any rights with respect to our Common Stock, except to be paid in cash as described in this Information Statement. No interest will be paid or accrued on the cash payable to holders of fewer than 5,000 shares after the Effective Date.
No service charges will be payable by stockholders in connection with the exchange of certificates for cash, all expenses of which will be borne by us.
Nominees (such as a bank or broker) may have required procedures, and a stockholder holding Common Stock in street name should contact his or her nominee to determine how the Stock Split will affect them. The Exchange Agent appointed by us to carry out the exchange has informed us that nominees are expected to provide beneficial ownership positions to them so that beneficial owners may be treated appropriately in effecting the Stock Split.
In the event that any certificate representing shares of Common Stock is not presented for cash upon request by us, the cash payment will be administered in accordance with the relevant state abandoned property laws. Until the cash payments have been delivered to the appropriate public official pursuant to the abandoned property laws, such payments will be paid to the holder thereof or his or her designee, without interest, at such time as the shares of Common Stock have been properly presented for exchange.
Appraisal Rights
Nevada law provides that any stockholder who is obligated to accept money or scrip rather than receive a fraction of a share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split may dissent in accordance with the provisions of Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”). A MedAire stockholder will be entitled to relief as a dissenting stockholder if and only if he or she complies strictly with all of the procedural and other requirements of Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 of the Nevada Revised Statutes. A copy of Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500 is attached asAnnex E. The following summary does not purport to be a complete statement of the method of compliance with Sections 92A.300 through 92A.500.
Right to Dissent
Stockholders of a Nevada corporation have the right to dissent from certain corporate actions in certain circumstances. Nevada law provides that any stockholder who is obligated to accept money or scrip rather than receive a fraction of a share resulting from the Reverse Stock Split may dissent in accordance with the provisions of NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive, and obtain payment of the fair value of the fraction of a share to which the stockholder would otherwise be entitled. Stockholders who are entitled to dissent are also entitled to demand payment in the amount of the fair value of their shares.
Requirements To Exercise Rights of A Dissenting Owner
According to NRS Section 92A.420(2), stockholders who wish to assert rights of dissenting owners:
| • | | must deliver written notice to MedAire of their intent to demand payment for their Common Stock if the Reverse Stock Split is completed to MedAire at the address set forth in the cover letter BEFORE the effective date of the approval of the Reverse Stock Split by written consent; and |
|
| • | | must not consent to the Reverse Stock Split. |
According to NRS Section 92A.420(3), stockholders failing to satisfy these requirements will not be entitled to exercise rights of a dissenting owner under Chapter 92A of the NRS.
In accordance with NRS 92A.430, within ten days after the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split, MedAire will send a written dissenters’ notice to all stockholders who satisfied these two requirements (written notice of intent to demand payment and not consenting to the Reverse Stock Split). The dissenters’ notice must include:
|
| • | | a statement of where dissenting stockholders should send their demand for payment and where and when certificates for Common Stock are to be deposited; |
|
| • | | a statement informing the dissenting stockholders whose shares are not represented by certificates to what extent the transfers of the shares will be restricted after the demand for payment is received; |
|
| • | | a form for demanding payment requiring stockholders asserting dissenters’ rights to certify whether or not they acquired beneficial ownership of the shares before October , 2007, the date when the terms of the Reverse Stock Split were announced to the news media and the stockholders; |
|
| • | | a date by which MedAire must receive the demand for payment, which may not be fewer than 30 or more than 60 days after the date the dissenters’ notice was delivered; and |
|
| • | | a copy of NRS Section 92A.300 through NRS Section 92A.500. |
Stockholders wishing to exercise rights of a dissenting owner must thereafter comply with the following requirements of NRS 92A.440:
| • | | demand payment; |
|
| • | | certify whether they acquired beneficial ownership of Common Stock before October , 2007; and |
|
| • | | deposit their certificates in accordance with the terms of the dissenters’ notice. |
Under NRS 92A.440(3), stockholders who fail to demand payment or deposit their certificates where required by the dates set forth in the dissenters’ notice will not be entitled to demand payment or receive the fair market value for their shares of Common Stock as provided under Nevada law. Instead, such stockholders will receive the same consideration as the stockholders of who do not exercise rights of a dissenting owner.
Payment for Dissenting Shares
NRS 92A.460 provides that MedAire is required to pay each dissenter who made a valid demand under Nevada law the amount MedAire estimates to be the fair value of the dissenter’s shares of Common Stock, plus accrued interest. MedAire must make such payment within 30 days receipt of the dissenter’s demand for payment. The payment must be accompanied by:
| • | | a copy of MedAire’s balance sheet as of the end of a fiscal year ending not more than 16 months before the date of payment, a statement of income for that year, a statement of changes in the stockholders’ equity for that year and the latest available interim financial statements, if any; |
| • | | a statement of MedAire’s estimate of the fair value of the dissenter’s shares of Common Stock; |
|
| • | | an explanation of how interest was calculated; |
| • | | a statement of the dissenter’s rights to demand payment under Nevada law of the dissenter’s own estimate of the value of the Common Stock under Section 92A.480 of the NRS (discussed below); and |
|
| • | | a copy of Section 92A.300 through Section 92A.500 of the NRS. |
Under NRS 92A.470(1), MedAire may elect to withhold payment from dissenters who became the beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock on or after October , 2007. If payment is withheld in this fashion by MedAire, MedAire must estimate the fair value of the dissenter’s shares of Common Stock (plus accrued interest) and offer to pay this amount to each dissenter in full satisfaction of his or her demand. MedAire is required to send this offer to all such dissenters with a statement of MedAire’s estimate of the fair value of the dissenter’s shares of Common Stock, an explanation of how interest was calculated and a statement of the dissenters’ rights to demand payment under NRS 92A.470(2).
NRS 92A.480(1) provides that a dissenter who believes that the amount paid or offered is less than the full value of his or her shares of Common Stock, or that the interest due is incorrectly calculated, may, within 30 days after MedAire made or offered payment for the shares, either (i) notify MedAire in writing of his or her own estimate of the fair value of the shares of Common Stock and the amount of interest due and demand payment of difference between this estimate and any payments made, or (ii) reject the offer for payment made by MedAire and demand payment of the fair value of his or her shares and interest due.
NRS 92A.490 provides that if a demand for payment remains unsettled, MedAire must commence a court proceeding within sixty days after receiving a demand, petitioning the court to determine the fair value of the shares of Common Stock and accrued interest. All dissenters whose demands remain unsettled would be made a party to such proceeding, which would be conducted in the district court of Carson City, Nevada. If MedAire fails to commence such a proceeding, it would be required by NRS 92A.490(1) to pay the amount demanded to each dissenter whose demand remains unsettled. Dissenters would be entitled to a judgment for the amount, if any, by which the court finds the fair value of his shares, plus accrued interest, exceeds the amount paid by MedAire; or the fair value, plus accrued interest, of his after-acquired shares for which MedAire elected to withhold payment pursuant to Section 92.470 of the NRS.
Under Section 92A.490(4) of the NRS, the district court may appoint one or more persons as appraisers to receive evidence and recommend a decision on the question of fair value. The appraisers have the powers described in the order appointing them or in any amendment to such order. In any such court proceeding, the dissenters are entitled to the same discovery rights as parties in other civil proceedings.
Under Section 92A.500 of the NRS, the district court will assess the costs of the proceedings against MedAire, unless the court finds that all or some of the dissenters acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not in good faith in demanding payment. The district court may also assess against MedAire or the dissenters the fees and expenses of counsel and experts for the respective parties, in the amount the court finds equitable.
THE REQUIRED RIGHTS OF A DISSENTING OWNER PROCEDURES MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY OR ANY APPRAISAL RIGHTS MAY BE LOST.

FINANCING OF THE STOCK SPLIT
Completion of the Stock Split will require approximately $695,000, which includes approximately $220,000 in legal costs, exchange agent fees and other expenses related to the transaction, plus approximately $475,000 in payments to holders of our Common Stock holding fewer than 5,000 shares. As a result, we will have decreased working capital and borrowing capacity following the Stock Split which may have a material effect on our capitalization, liquidity, results of operations and cash flow. The costs of the transaction and related fees and expenses will be paid from currently available cash held by us. You should read the discussion under the caption “Costs of the Stock Split” in this Information Statement for a description of the fees and expenses we expect to incur in connection with the transaction.
COSTS OF THE STOCK SPLIT
The following is an estimate of the costs incurred or expected to be incurred by us in connection with the Stock Split. Final costs of the transaction may be more or less than the estimates shown below. We will be responsible for paying these costs. Please note that the following estimate of costs does not include the actual cost of paying for fractional shares of those stockholders holding fewer than 5,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Split, which we project to be $475,000.

Legal fees | | | 100,000 | |

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD WITH RESPECT TO
THE STOCK SPLIT
The Board believes that the Stock Split is fair to the Company and its stockholders, including those whose interests are being cashed out pursuant to the Reverse Stock Split and those who will retain an equity interest in the Company subsequent to the consummation of the Stock Split.
In consideration of the factors discussed under the captions “Special Factors—Reasons for and Purposes of the Stock Split,” “Special Factors—Strategic Alternatives Considered,” “Background of the Stock Split” and “Fairness of the Stock Split to Our Stockholders” in this Information Statement, the Board approved the Stock Split by a unanimous vote of the Board, including Joan Sullivan Garrett as the sole Continuing Director but with the two members of the Special Committee abstaining, submitted the Stock Split to Procuro, a majority stockholder holding sufficient shares to approve the transaction and recommended that Procuro execute a written consent approving the Stock Split. The Company received a signed written consent from Procuro on October 2, 2007.
Procuro owns approximately 87.13% of the Company’s Common Stock on the Record Date and has the requisite number of shares to approve the transaction. Accordingly, the Stock Split will be effective without further notice or action on November ___, 2007, the date that is thirty days after the date of the mailing of this Information Statement to the Company’s stockholders.
Reservation of Rights
The Board reserves the right, in its discretion, to abandon the Stock Split prior to the Effective Date if it determines that abandoning the Stock Split is in the best interests of our stockholders. The Board presently believes that the Stock Split is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and thus recommended a vote for the proposal. Nonetheless, the Board believes that it is prudent to recognize that, between the date of this Information
35
Statement and the date that the Stock Split will become effective, factual circumstances could possibly change such that it might not be appropriate or desirable to effect the Stock Split at that time or on the terms currently proposed. Such factual circumstances could include a superior offer to our stockholders, a material change in our business or litigation affecting our ability to proceed with the Stock Split. If the Board decides to withdraw or modify the Stock Split, the Board will notify the stockholders of such decision promptly in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
See Annex F to this Information Statement for our audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 and the related audited consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006.

Personal & Confidential
September 28, 2007
Attention: Board of Directors
MedAire, Inc.
80 East Rio Salado Parkway, Suite 610
Tempe, Arizona 85281
Dear Members of the Board:
Kaulkin Ginsberg Lavine, LLC (“KGL”) has acted as financial advisor to the Board of Directors of MedAire, Inc. (“MedAire”) for the sole purpose of rendering our opinion to the Board of Directors of MedAire (the “Board”) as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders of MedAire (“Stockholders”), of the consideration payable to the Stockholders in connection with a proposed cash purchase by MedAire of fractional shares (the “Transaction”) subsequent to a reverse stock split of the outstanding MedAire shares. This letter summarizes our fairness opinion advisory service provided to the Board (“Opinion”) in connection with the Transaction.
TRANSACTION
Under the terms of the proposed transaction, MedAire will transact a Reverse Stock Split (“Split”) of outstanding shares. The Split will be affected on a 5,000 to 1 basis. Immediately subsequent to the Split, MedAire will tender for the resultant fractional shares at a Price equal to the higher of the following (“Price”); the highest price paid per share pre-split by an interested stockholder in the last two years, or the fair market value per share as determined by this Fairness Opinion. It is noted that the highest price paid in a share purchase transaction in the last two years was $1.11 per share. Upon completion of the tender, the Board will authorize the transacting of the appropriate actions to convert MedAire to a private concern.
SCOPE OF OUR ENGAGEMENT
In connection with our engagement, we have performed the analyses and reviews that we believe necessary to determine if the Price is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Stockholders and to deliver our opinion regarding fairness to the Board. Our Engagement has included the following:
| (i) | | A review and analysis of the financial terms of the Transaction. |
|
| (ii) | | A review and evaluation of the financial condition of the business, its industry market segment and financial prospects of MedAire. |

KGL has not provided any accounting, tax-related advisory or other financial services to MedAire in connection with the Transaction. Accordingly, we have not advised MedAire with respect to alternative related Transactions; or legal or financial matters.
Upon completion of our review and analysis, we advised Senior Management on August 28, 2007 of our verbal opinion as to whether, as of that date and based on and subject to the assumptions and limitations contained in our written opinion, from a financial point of view, the price payable to the fractional Stockholders upon consummation of the Transaction is fair to those fractional Stockholders (the “Opinion”). We have been made aware that on that date, the Board of Directors met and has proceeded with a process to formally consider the proposed Transaction. This Opinion formalizes and supercedes that verbal assessment provided by us to MedAire.
KGL will be paid a fee for its services as financial advisor to MedAire in connection solely with the engagement, a portion of which is due and payable upon the delivery of this opinion, but none of which is contingent upon the outcome of our analysis of the Transaction.
DUE DILIGENCE
In connection with our engagement, and in arriving at this Opinion, Kaulkin Ginsberg has made such reviews, studies, analyses and consultations that we deemed necessary to the engagement. Among other things, we:
| (i) | | Reviewed with Roger Sandeen, Chief Financial Officer, the proposed Transaction; |
|
| (ii) | | Reviewed with the Board the proposed Transaction; |
|
| (iii) | | Reviewed MedAire’s Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2006; |
|
| (iv) | | Reviewed publicly filed documents that we considered relevant, to include Securities and Exchange Commission Forms 10-K, Forms 10-Q, Schedule 13D and Form 3. |
|
| (v) | | Reviewed the FY 2007 Budget prepared by management of MedAire relating to its business; |
|
| (vi) | | Reviewed the FY 2007 Forecast prepared by management of MedAire relating to its business; |
|
| (vii) | | Reviewed the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analyses (differing assumptions) prepared by management of MedAire relating to Forecast earnings for FY 2007 thru FY 2012(applying terminal values); |
CONFIDENTIAL

MedAire, Inc.
Page 3
| (viii) | | Discussed with management of MedAire the DCF analyses, determining the applicability of incorporating the 20% growth scenario analysis into our valuation analysis. We revised certain assumptions incorporated into the analyses as we determined appropriate, and; |
|
| (ix) | | Requested and Reviewed such other organizational documentation and information, as prepared by management of MedAire relating to its business, as we considered relevant to the formulation of our Opinion; |
|
| (x) | | Reviewed, and determined to be of relevance to the analysis of MedAire, the stock market capitalizations and valuation ratios of public companies whose lines of businesses and industry segmentation were considered sufficiently similar to those of MedAire, considering its current operations and the forecast by management; |
|
| (xi) | | Compared the proposed financial terms of the Price, and the resultant implied valuation of MedAire, with the proprietarily available financial terms of certain transactions involving companies we deem relevant and the consideration received for such companies; |
|
| (xii) | | Performed analyses to consider the enterprise value of MedAire; giving specific emphasis to the potential transfer value of MedAire customers, service offerings and intangible assets; |
|
| (xiii) | | Determined, based on our judgment, the relative per share value of MedAire to be$0.88 (Eighty Eight Cents); |
|
| (xiv) | | Noted that the assessed value of $0.88 (Eighty Eight Cents) is less than the alternative Transaction Price of $1.11 (One Dollar and Eleven Cents); |
|
| (xv) | | Discussed the foregoing information where appropriate with management of MedAire; and |
|
| (xvi) | | Conducted such other analyses, studies and inquiries as we deemed appropriate for purposes of arriving at our Opinion. |
State of Nevada Distribution Statute
MedAire, incorporated in the State of Nevada, is subject to statute governing distributions. The Statute provides for the determination of appropriateness of the distribution, pursuant to defined factors (liquidity, solvency, financial reporting as well as measurement, etc). The proposed Transaction, as defined in this Opinion, is in compliance with the provisions of the Statute. An appropriate level of financial reporting, a valuation with which we concur, the existing and pro-forma (subject to the Transaction) liquidity and solvency of MedAire, all provide for determination that the proposed Transaction complies with applicable State statutes.

CONDITIONS OF OPINION
In connection with the analysis underlying this opinion, we have accepted at face value and assumed, without independent verification or investigation, the accuracy and completeness of all of the financial budget, forecast and other information and selected data made available or furnished to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with us for purposes of this opinion. We have not independently verified or investigated any of the assumptions, estimates, or judgments referred to in such financial budget, forecast, information, data and material and we are not responsible for any errors or inaccuracies, should any so exist, in such budget, forecast, information, data and material. Further, we have assumed that there had been no material adverse change in the assets, financial condition, business or prospects of MedAire, since the date of the most recent financial statements, budget, and forecast made available to us.
With respect to the financial budget and forecast provided to or otherwise reviewed by or discussed with us, we have been advised by the management of MedAire that such budget and forecast have been reasonably prepared based on assumptions reflecting the best currently available estimates and judgments of management as to the expected future results of operations and financial conditions of MedAire to which such budget or forecast relates. We can give no assurance, however, that such financial budget can be realized or that actual results will not vary materially from those projected.
In connection with all budgets, forecasts, information, data and material provided to us by MedAire, management of MedAire has advised us that they have not omitted or failed to provide, or caused to be omitted or undisclosed to KGL any analyses, data, material or other information necessary in order to make any financial data, material or other information provided to us by MedAire not misleading in light of the circumstances under which such budgets, forecasts, information, data or material was provided. In the course of our review, we have not learned any specific facts which would lead us to believe that our acceptance and reliance on such budgets, forecasts, information and data was unreasonable.
We have not conducted, nor have we been provided with, an independent valuation or appraisal of the assets or liabilities of MedAire, nor have we made any physical inspection of the property, inventory or other assets of MedAire. In connection with our engagement, we were not requested to, and did not, solicit third party indication of interest in the possible acquisition of all or part of MedAire.
We express no view as to, and this Opinion does not address, the relative merits of the Transaction as compared to any alternative business strategies that might exist for MedAire or the effect of any other transaction in which MedAire might engage.

WRITTEN CONSENT OF SHAREHOLDERS OF
MEDAIRE, INC.
a Nevada corporation
The undersigned, being the stockholder of Medaire, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), holding the right to vote more than 75% of the voting stock of the Company outstanding as of the date first set forth above, hereby waive notice and give written consent and authorization, in accordance with the provisions of Section 78.320 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, to the adoption of the following resolutions, and the same are hereby adopted:
WHEREAS, on August 28, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) formed a Special Committee charged with: (i) investigating the merits and disadvantages of the Company’s consummation of a “going semi-private” transaction in the form of a cash purchase by the Company of fractional shares subsequent to a reverse stock split of the outstanding shares of the Company that would reduce the number of the Company’s shareholders to a number sufficiently low that the Company would no longer be required to file periodic or current reports with the U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), but leaving the Company’s ASX listing in place at this time (the “Going Semi-Private Transaction”); (ii) consulting with all special legal counsel and experts necessary for the Special Committee to make an informed recommendation to the Board with respect to the proposed Going Semi-Private Transaction, including in connection with obtaining a fairness opinion from Kaulkin Ginsberg Lavine, LLC (“KG Lavine”), or such other independent valuation firm as the Special Committee deems reasonable in its discretion, and (iii) preparing a report and recommendation with respect to the Going Semi-Private Transaction to be presented to the Board, at a special meeting convened for that purpose, with respect to whether, in the view of the Special Committee, the proposed Going Semi-Private Transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders, and any other persons that the Special Committee deems necessary or desirable to consider under Nevada corporate law, and, if so, on what terms the Special Committee believes such a transaction to be in such best interests;
WHEREAS, Management’s Report presented to the Special Committee states that:
| • | | the costs to the Company of becoming compliant with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 will be approximately US$125,000 annually, after the incurrence of one-time costs of US$240,000; |
|
| • | | administrative, audit and legal costs, including costs related to complying with the rules and requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) total approximately US$191,000 annually; |
|
| • | | if the Company were private in the US, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance premiums would be approximately US$104,000 less annually than they are currently; |
|
| • | | the potential reduction in costs of operations after the Going Semi-Private Transaction is approximately US$650,000 or 27% of the Company’s annual net income; |
C-1
| • | | 900 of the Company’s 1,500 shareholders own less than 100 shares of the Company’s common stock and several have indicated an interest in a buyback of their shares; and |
|
| • | | the Company’s current business plans do not contemplate the need to access the public market in the US to raise sufficient capital for its operations; |
WHEREAS, with the recommendation of the Special Committee, the Board believes that:
| • | | the cost savings available to the Company if the Going Semi-Private Transaction is consummated are significant and would strengthen the Company’s financial position; |
|
| • | | if the Company were private in the U.S., the Company and its shareholders would benefit from greater attention from management whose time and focus is currently distracted by the requirements applicable to U.S public companies; and |
|
| • | | minority shareholders being cashed-out in the Going Semi-Private Transaction will receive a fair price for their fractional shares and that minority shareholders remaining after consummation of the Going Semi-Private Transaction will continue to have the potential to make transactions (as they have in the past) for their Company shares through the Company’s listing on the ASX; |
WHEREAS, management has informed the Special Committee and the Board that the Company’s book value for its assets as set forth on its most recent financial statements results in a positive surplus (excess of total assets over total liabilities) sufficient to permit the cash-out of fractional shares in the Going Semi-Private Transaction under Nevada Statutes 78.288, and a statement to this effect is also included in the Fairness Opinion;
WHEREAS, Company counsel has informed the Special Committee that Nevada counsel has advised that Nevada Statutes Section 92A.440 will apply to the cash-out of fractional shares in the Going Semi-Private Transaction, providing a statutory remedy to minority shareholders being cashed out in the Going Semi-Private Transaction;
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 14 of the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (the “Charter”), the proposed Going Semi-Private Transaction is a “Business Combination;”
WHEREAS, an “Interested Stockholder” is defined in the Charter to include any stockholder holding more than 10% (ten percent) of the shares of the Company’s outstanding common stock;
WHEREAS, Procuro, Inc. holds approximately 87.13% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and is, therefore, an Interested Stockholder;
C-2
WHEREAS, the proposed Going Semi-Private Transaction will involve an Interested Stockholder because Procuro, Inc.’s shares will be subject to the reverse stock split;
WHEREAS, in accordance with Section 14 of the Charter a Business Combination involving an Interested Stockholder requires the approval of the holders of at least 66 2/3% (sixty-six and two-thirds percent) of the common stock held by stockholders other than the Interested Stockholder (the “majority of the minority”);
WHEREAS, the Special Committee and the Board believes that obtaining the approval of the majority of the minority would be logistically difficult and inefficient because such group is comprised of multiple small shareholders in many foreign jurisdictions;
WHEREAS, the Charter provides for an exemption from the requirement to obtain the approval of the majority of the minority provided, in the event that consideration is paid to shareholders in connection with the Business Combination, that one of two conditions is met: (i) a majority of the Continuing Directors (as defined in the Charter) to include any director who was a Board member when the Company’s charter was filed in October 2002, any director who became a Board member after such date who is not an affiliate, associate or representative of the Interested Stockholder and any successor to a Continuing Director who is not an affiliate, associate or representative of an Interested Stockholder and is recommended or elected to succeed the Continuing Director by a majority of Continuing Directors) must approve the transaction or (ii) certain disclosure and pricing conditions must be met, including that the stockholders be paid as consideration for each of their shares the higher of the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock or the highest price paid per share by the Interested Stockholder within the two year period prior to the announcement of the Business Combination;
WHEREAS, Roger Sandeen has informed the Special Committee that the highest price paid per share by an Interested Stockholder in the past two years was US$1.11 on May 30, 2007;
WHEREAS, KG Lavine concluded in its draft fairness opinion delivered to the Special Committee and the Board that a payment of US$1.11 per share is fair to the Company’s shareholders from a financial point of view;
WHEREAS, the Special Committee and the Board believes that given the significance of the proposed Going Semi-Private Transaction to the Company’s shareholders it is desirable, although not required, for the proposed Going Semi-Private Transaction to meet both conditions to the exemption from the majority of the minority approval requirement for a Business Combination;
WHEREAS, the Board determined at its meeting on August 28, 2007 that Joan Sullivan Garrett is the only Continuing Director as such term is defined in the Charter;
WHEREAS, at the Board’s direction, Ms. Garrett participated on the Special Committee as an observer so that she could most efficiently evaluate the merits and disadvantages of the proposed Going Semi-Private Transaction, and James Williams participated on the Special Committee as management liaison;
C-3
WHEREAS, if the Going Semi-Private Transaction is approved by Ms. Garrett and the per share consideration paid to stockholders is at least US$1.11, then Procuro, Inc. alone may provide the required consent to the Going Semi-Private Transaction (Business Combination); and
WHEREAS, after fully discussing internally and with legal counsel and relevant experts the issues raised by the Going Semi-Private Transaction, the Special Committee and the Board are satisfied that an extensive and complete review of the issues presented by the Going Semi-Private Transaction has been conducted;
WHEREAS, after receiving the Special Committee’s report and recommendation, the Board, including Joan Sullivan Garrett as the sole Continuing Director, but with the two members of the Special Committee abstaining in accordance with Nevada law, unanimously approved the Going Semi-Private Transaction on September 19, 2007, subject to obtaining the requisite shareholder approval; and
WHEREAS, the undersigned has received and reviewed a Preliminary Information Statement from the Company on Schedule 14C, and desires to approve the Going Semi-Private Transaction;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Going Semi-Private Transaction is hereby authorized, ratified and approved in all respects, including the following features:
| • | | the Going Semi-Private Transaction shall be structured as a 1 for 5,000 reverse stock split resulting in fractional shareholders who will be paid cash for their fractional shares at a price per share of US$1. 11 (the “Reverse Stock Split”); |
|
| • | | the Reverse Stock Split shall be applied to the Company’s outstanding option grants currently outstanding in the hands of approximately 15 option holders, the effect of which will be neutral since the number of shares underlying each outstanding option is in excess of 5,000; |
|
| • | | following consummation of the Going Semi-Private Transaction, there shall be approximately 80 shareholders and approximately 15 option holders remaining, providing a comfortable cushion below the 300 total shareholder threshold the Company needs to fall below in order to de-register with the SEC; and |
|
| • | | to limit administrative burdens on the Company, the Reverse Stock Split shall be followed by a forward stock split to return shareholders and option holders who did not hold fractional shares following the reverse stock split to their pre-reverse stock split holdings (the “Forward Stock Split); |
FURTHER RESOLVED, that, upon receipt of this Written Consent executed by Procuro, the appropriate officers of the Company, or any one or more of them, be, and each hereby is, authorized to execute and file:

FURTHER RESOLVED, that the appropriate officers of the Company, or any one or more of them, be, and each hereby is, authorized and directed to (a) execute and deliver all documents, instruments, certificates and statements that may be necessary to effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby and (b) take all actions as they shall deem necessary, advisable or appropriate to effectuate or carry out the purpose and intent of the foregoing resolutions, the t a king of any such action by any such officer to be conclusive evidence of the approval thereof.

|
| 2. | | To the extent the subject corporation elects to withhold payment, after taking the proposed action, it shall estimate the fair value of the shares, plus accrued interest, and shall offer to pay this amount to each dissenter who agrees to accept it in full satisfaction of his demand.

| 1. | | A dissenter may notify the subject corporation in writing of his own estimate of the fair value of his shares and the amount of interest due, and demand payment of his estimate, less any payment pursuant to NRS 92A.460, or reject the offer pursuant to NRS 92A.470 and demand payment of the fair value of his shares and interest due, if he believes that the amount paid pursuant to NRS 92A.460 or offered pursuant to NRS 92A.470 is less than the fair value of his shares or that the interest due is incorrectly calculated. |

|
| 2. | | The court may also assess the fees and expenses of the counsel and experts for the respective parties, in amounts the court finds equitable: |
| (a) | | Against the subject corporation and in favor of all dissenters if the court finds the subject corporation did not substantially comply with the requirements of NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive; or |
|
| (b) | | Against either the subject corporation or a dissenter in favor of any other party, if the court finds that the party against whom the fees and expenses are assessed acted arbitrarily, vexatiously or not is good faith with respect to the rights provided by NRS 92A.300 to 92A.500, inclusive. |
| 3. | | If the court finds that the services of counsel for any dissenter were of substantial benefit to other dissenters similarly situated, and that the fees for those services should not be assessed against the subject corporation, the court may award to those counsel reasonable fees to be paid out of the amounts awarded to the dissenters who were benefited. |
|

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
of MedAire, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Tempe, Arizona
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of MedAire, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the 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 Company 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, 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of MedAire, Inc. and Subsidiaries at December 31, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted a new principle of accounting for share-based payments in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 123R,Share-Based Payment.

MEDAIRE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of business:
Established in 1985, MedAire, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) provides fully integrated healthcare solutions to companies that are responsible for employees, customers and guests who are at risk as a result of living, working or traveling away from home. These solutions are comprised of three major components: 24/7/365 situation management, which includes services, such as real-time medical advice and assistance, training and education and medical resources such as medical kits. The Company is an Arizona-based corporation with both domestic and international operations and customers.
Principles of consolidation:
All accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements for the appropriate periods. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
Effective December 2005, Global Resources, Inc. was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of MedAire, Inc., for purposes of holding the Company’s mining rights sale agreements for mining rights previously sold and is included in the consolidated financial statements. Currently, Global Resources does not hold any assets or liabilities, nor is it engaged in any activity.
In January 2003, a transaction was completed to merge with Global Doctor Limited (Global Doctor), located in Perth, Australia. Global Doctor primarily operates a network of international clinics in Asia. Beginning in late 2005, the Company began pursuing the sale of Global Doctor. In order to sell Global Doctor by region (China, Indonesia and Thailand), an internal corporate reorganization was implemented in 2006. The sale of the Global Doctor clinics was completed during the third quarter of 2006. The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 include the wholly owned subsidiary Global Doctor Services Pty Ltd. See Note 14 for further details regarding the sale of Global Doctor.
On April 16, 2002, MedAire Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, was formed to do business in the United Kingdom.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management are used for, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred revenue, deferred income taxes, identifiable intangibles and goodwill.
Expression of currency:
All amounts are shown in US dollars, unless otherwise noted.
Revenue recognition:
The Company recognizes revenue upon shipment of its products or upon performance of its services. Shipping and handling charges to customers are included in revenue. Shipping and handling costs incurred by the Company are included in costs of revenues. The Company provides products and services to its
F-10
customers on a contract basis, normally covering one to five-year periods. Revenue on products is recognized when the equipment is shipped, while billings on the service portion of the contract are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized on a straight-line basis over the life of the contract.
In conjunction with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables”, revenue from multiple-deliverable arrangements are accounted for as separate units of accounting, as the delivered items have value on a stand alone basis, if there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value, and delivery or performance of the undelivered item is probable and in the Company’s control.
Gain on the sale of the mining rights sales agreement is recorded when the cash is received. This income is not considered earned until received due to a cancellation clause in the sale agreement. The final cash payment of AUD $1,000,000 is not payable until and unless the buyer commences commercial mining operations. See further discussion in Note 7 to these consolidated financial statements.
Evacuation and Case Fee Revenue:
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 99-19, “Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent”, the Company records evacuation and case fee revenues and the related cost of evacuation revenues gross as a principal.
Cash equivalents:
Cash equivalents include money market accounts and other short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less.
Restricted Cash:
For the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company was required as a covenant on its line of credit, (see Note 4), to maintain a $500,000 compensating balance on deposit with the financial institution. The cash was released when the line of credit expired in May 2006.
Concentration of cash:
At certain times, the Company maintains amounts on deposit in financial institutions in excess of federal deposit insurance limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents.
Accounts receivable:
Accounts receivable are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate for an allowance for sales returns and an allowance for doubtful accounts based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by identifying troubled accounts and by using historical experience applied to an aging of accounts. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Based on the information available, the Company believes the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate as of December 31, 2006 and 2005. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded when received.
Interest is not charged on accounts receivable.
Unbilled revenue represents revenue earned but not yet invoiced. The majority of the balance relates to commercial airline crew support and other health cases that are unbilled at the end of the reporting period. These amounts are invoiced to customers once all healthcare costs associated with the case have been accumulated. The remaining balance relates to training and other revenue earned in the period but not invoiced. Unbilled training and other revenues are invoiced in the following month.
F-11
In order to increase cash flow, the Company has historically followed a practice of invoicing customers one month in advance of the commencement of services. These invoices are recorded as accounts receivable and deferred revenues at the time the amount is invoiced to the customer, and revenue is recognized ratably over the service period once it commences. The amount of accounts receivable and deferred revenues recorded for these prebillings was $1,529,302, $1,164,966, and $1,108,990 as of December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Inventory:
Inventory, which consists primarily of medical kits and supplies, automatic external defibrillators and pharmaceuticals, is stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. Inventory is stated net of an allowance for obsolete inventory.
F-12
Identifiable intangibles and goodwill:
Statement of financial accounting standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets��� (SFAS 142), prescribes a two-step process for impairment testing of goodwill on an annual basis or more often if a triggering event occurs and long-lived assets only when a triggering event occurs. The first step tests for impairment, while the second step, if necessary, measures the amount of impairment. Goodwill is not amortized. The Company’s annual testing date is December 31. There were no indicators of impairment as of December 31, 2006. In connection with the sale of the Global Doctor clinics during fiscal 2006, the Company wrote off $132,000 of goodwill specifically related to those reporting units. See further discussion in Note 14 of the consolidated financial statements.
In assessing the recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, the Company must make assumptions about the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of these assets. Assumptions about future revenue and cash flows require significant judgment because of the current state of the economy, the fluctuation of actual revenue and the timing of expenses. The Company’s management develops future revenue estimates based on historical trends and market available. Estimates of future cash flows assume that expenses will grow at rates consistent with historical rates.
Goodwill represents the cost in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. Licenses and other intangibles which have definitive lives are amortized using the straight-line method over their contractual lives or their estimated useful life if shorter. Goodwill and intangibles with indefinite lives are subject to an impairment test, based on fair value, at least annually. We evaluate goodwill and other intangibles for impairment annually, and when impairment indicators arise, in accordance with SFAS 142. For goodwill, we first compare the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of a reporting unit, additional tests would be used to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. If the carrying amount of any other intangible asset exceeds its fair value, we would recognize an impairment loss for the difference between fair value and the carrying amount.
Identifiable intangibles have the following estimated useful lives:
| | |
Software | | 1 to 3 years |
Permits and agreements | | 2 to 7 years |
Customer list and contracts | | 5 years |
Other | | 1 to 5 years |
Tradename and trademarks | | 5 to 7 years |
Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized using the straight line method over their estimated useful lives (see Note 3).
Other long term assets:
Long-term assets represented a strategic investment in an untraded company. The $100,000 investment at December 31, 2005 was comprised of $6,000 in stock and a $94,000 note receivable. This investment was written off during the second quarter of 2006 because management determined that the investment was no longer viable and the note receivable balance was deemed uncollectible.
Fair value of financial instruments:
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, notes receivable, unbilled revenue, accounts payable, and obligations under capital leases, are carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair values at December 31, 2006 and 2005.
Equipment and leasehold improvements:
F-13
Equipment and leasehold improvements are recorded at cost and are primarily being depreciated over three to seven years using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over their estimated useful lives or the term of the lease, whichever is shorter.
Replacements and betterments are capitalized, while maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. It is the Company’s policy to include amortization expense on assets acquired under capital leases with depreciation expense on owned assets.
Fixed assets not yet placed in service represent additional enterprise-wide software system modules to be implemented and databases under development.
Deferred rent:
Certain operating leases require escalating rent payments over the lease term. The total rent payments are divided by the total number of months to compute an amount which is charged to expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The deferred rent liability included on the accompanying balance sheets occurs when the monthly straight-line expense is greater than the monthly rent paid.
Off-balance sheet financing and liabilities:
Other than operating lease commitments, legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of business and employment contracts for key employees, the Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities. The Company does not have any majority owned subsidiaries or any interest in, or relationships with, any material variable interest entities.
Stock options:
The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company generally grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees and directors with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for that plan under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations, as allowed by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). The Company had adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”. No stock-based employee compensation cost was recognized in the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2005, as all options granted under the plan had an exercise price equal to the fair value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. Under the requirements of SFAS 123, non-employee stock-based transactions require compensation to be recorded based on the fair value of the securities issued or services rendered, whichever is more reliably measured.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.
During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company issued 130,000 options at an exercise price of $0.42 to members of its non-employee board of directors and recognized the related compensation expense of $32,959. Due to the change in control regarding the Company’s board of directors that took place in January 2006, all options outstanding vested immediately, and the Company recognized $252,280 of compensation expense in the first quarter of 2006. Additionally, due to the board resolution in January 2006 regarding options granted to James E. Lara, President and COO, the Company recorded compensation expense in the first quarter of 2006 totaling $232,696. See further discussion in Note 12.
F-14
As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company’s net loss for the year ended December 31, 2006 is $517,935 higher than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. Basic and diluted net loss per common share for the year ended December 31, 2006 would have been $ (0.02) per share if the Company had not adopted SFAS 123(R), compared to $ (0.03) which was reported for the period.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS 123(R) requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. There were 74,377 options exercised during the year ended December 31, 2006, which resulted in $18,594 in cash proceeds, with no tax benefit received for tax deductions.
F-15
The following table illustrates the effect on net loss and net loss per common share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123 to options granted under the Company’s stock option plan in all periods presented. For purposes of this pro forma disclosure, the value of the options is estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing formula and amortized to expense over the option vesting-period.

Income taxes:
Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. We have estimated that it is more likely than not, our net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Therefore, we have provided a valuation allowance for those net deferred tax assets.
Federal and state regulation:
The Company is considered a re-packager and distributor of drugs because of the medical kits it assembles and sells. As a result, the Company is subject to regulation by and licensure with the United States Food and Drug Administration (the FDA), the United States Drug Enforcement Administration (the DEA) and various state agencies that regulate wholesalers or distributors. Both the FDA and the DEA have the right, at any time, to inspect the Company’s facilities and operations to determine if it is operating in compliance with the requirements for licensure and all applicable laws and regulations. In addition, the Company is audited annually by the DEA and the Arizona State Board of Pharmacy. Although management believes appropriate steps are taken to ensure compliance, the Company cannot be assured it will not face fines or penalties, or loss of license if its compliance efforts are determined to be inadequate.
Reclassifications:
Certain amounts in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Deferred revenue:
Deferred revenue represents cash received or amounts invoiced to customers in advance of the delivery of services. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue ratably over the term of the service period.
Advertising costs:
Advertising and promotion costs, which totaled approximately $429,000, $536,000 and $320,000 for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, are expensed as incurred.
Legal costs:
Amounts incurred for legal costs that pertain to loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
F-16
Net loss per common share:
Net loss per common share has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented. At December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, common shares issuable upon exercise of the employee stock options of 1,763,630, 2,258,007, and 5,809,289, respectively, and stock warrants of 580,000, 1,740,000, and 0, respectively (see Note 12), and additionally at December 31, 2005, the effect of the convertible unsecured note payable (500,000 shares, see Note 5) have not been included in the computation because their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect as a result of the net loss.
New accounting pronouncements:
In March 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“FASB Statement No. 156”). FASB No. 156 amends FASB Statement No. 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. FASB No. 156 is effective for years beginning after September 15, 2006. The Company does not believe FASB No. 156 will have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company plans on reviewing in detail its tax situation to determine whether there are any uncertain tax positions but does not presently believe that there are any material such matters.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“FASB No. 157”). FASB No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FASB No. 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, the FASB having previously concluded in those accounting pronouncements that fair value is the relevant measurement attribute. Accordingly, this Statement does not require any new fair value measurements.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108,Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements(“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements in quantifying current year misstatements for the purpose of a materiality assessment. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 00-19-2,Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements(“FSP EITF 00-19-2”). FSP EITF 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies.A registration payment arrangement is defined in FSP EITF 00-19-2 as an arrangement with both of the following characteristics: (1) the arrangement specifies that the issuer will endeavor (a) to file a registration statement for the resale of specified financial instruments and/or for the resale of equity shares that are issuable upon exercise or conversion of specified financial instruments and for that registration statement to be declared effective by the US SEC within a specified grace period, and/or (b) to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for a specified period of time (or in perpetuity); and (2) the arrangement requires the issuer to transfer consideration to the counterparty if the
F-17
registration statement for the resale of the financial instrument or instruments subject to the arrangement is not declared effective or if effectiveness of the registration statement is not maintained. FSP EITF 00-19-2 is effective for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified subsequent to December 21, 2006. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance of FSP EITF 00-19-2, this guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect the adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
F-18
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(“SFAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective for us on January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on our financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.

Note 4. Line of Credit
The Company maintained a $1,000,000 line of credit with a bank until the line of credit expired and was not renewed in May 2006. Under the terms of the line of credit, the Company was required to maintain a compensating balance with the lender of no less than $500,000. This amount was released when the line of credit expired. The line bore interest at the bank’s prime rate (7.25% at December 31, 2005) plus 0.75%. There was no outstanding balance at December 31, 2005.
Note 5. Notes Payable
As of December 31, 2006, the Company has a short term note payable of $353,219 to finance the Company’s insurance policies. The note is payable in ten equal payments of $36,772 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 8.86%. The first payment is due January 1, 2007.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies
In July 2006, the Company entered into four separate five year lease agreements to lease a new telephone system and related equipment for the Company’s headquarters in Tempe, Arizona and the MedSpace operations. The system and equipment were installed and placed into service in October 2006. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board SFAS 13 “Accounting for Leases” as amended, the leases were capitalized and the lease obligations were recognized on the Company’s balance sheet when each lease obligation became effective. The total net present value of the lease payments of $478,000, discounted at a 9.9% interest rate, was capitalized and the offsetting lease obligations were recorded during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The combined monthly payments of approximately $10,000 are payable through late 2011. Assets capitalized under these capital leases, including costs capitalized for the maintenance agreement, totaled approximately $478,000 with accumulated depreciation of $14,800 as of December 31, 2006.
The Company has a capital lease for telephone equipment with monthly payments of approximately $700 through August 2008, including interest at a rate of 8.195%. The lease was collateralized by the equipment. Total assets under this capital lease were approximately $36,000 with accumulated amortization of $16,600 at December 31, 2005. The assets under this capital lease were disposed of as a result of the installation of the new telephone system in October 2006. A loss of $14,000 was recorded on the disposal. The Company continues to make lease payments under this agreement as the lease agreement is non-cancellable. The total remaining capital lease obligation was $13,400 as of December 31, 2006.
As of December 31, 2004, the Company had another capital lease obligation in the amount of $65,401 which was paid off in 2005.
The Company has several facility leases under operating lease agreements which expire at various dates through December 31, 2009. In addition, the Company has other operating leases that expire at various dates through July 2009.

The Company has employment agreements with twenty executives officers, key employees and foreign based employees. These agreements provide for post-termination compensation payments composed of salary and, in some instances, continuation of certain employee benefits should the employee’s service with the company be terminated. As of December 31, 2006, the total amount of contingent contractual obligations that may be owed in the future under these employment agreements, excluding benefits, is approximately $1,933,000. No liability has been recorded for these agreements at December 31, 2006, as the Company continues to employ these individuals.
As of December 31, 2006, the Company had a liability in the amount of $444,331 payable to former executives and key employees whose service to the Company was discontinued in 2006. Under the terms of these employment agreements between the Company and these individuals, they continue as employees of the Company for a contractually agreed-upon period of time, and they receive salary and benefits during this period. The liability for employment agreement obligations is included in accrued expenses at December 31, 2006 (Note 15). The Company expensed $772,780 for these obligations and made cash payments of $328,449 in 2006.
In November 2003, the Company sold the rights to a mining tenement acquired as part of the Global Doctor acquisition. All payments except the final payment have been received. The final payment of $1.0 million AUD is due upon commencement of the commercial mining operation. At any time the buyer may notify the Company that it does not wish to proceed with the transaction, in which event the mining rights would be reconveyed to the Company for no consideration, and the buyer would be under no further obligation to make further payments in respect to the purchase price other than those that have already been paid. Gain on sale of mining rights in the consolidated financial statements represents the payments received from the buyer. No receivable has been recorded for the remaining payment as of December 31, 2006 or 2005, since the future payment is contingent on commercial operation of the mine.

In accordance with SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the Company established a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2004. This resulted in additional income tax expense of approximately $900,000 in the twelve months ended December 31, 2004. As defined by the standard, management believes it is more likely than not that its deferred tax assets may not be realized due to the history of losses the Company has sustained. Realization of a deferred tax asset is dependent on whether or not there will be sufficient taxable income in the future periods in which the net operating loss can be utilized as available under tax law. In future years as the Company has taxable income and the net operating loss carryforwards are utilized, the valuation allowance will be reduced and no income tax expense will be realized on the face of the income statement until such time that management believes the deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be realized. The Company had expectations of utilizing net operating losses in 2004 based on management projections. However, due to a change in product mix sold with increased evacuations that carry a lower margin and continuing losses from the Global Doctor operations, the Company did not meet projections as they have in prior periods. Therefore, it was determined a valuation allowance was required in 2004. Continued losses in 2005 and 2006 support leaving the valuation allowance in place at December 31, 2006.
Income tax expense consists of the following:

Note 9. Segment Reporting
The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.
There are four reportable segments: Service, Equipment, Education and Global Doctor. The Service, Equipment and Education segments provide medical advice, equipment and training to subscribers. Amounts for MedAire, Inc. and MedAire Ltd are included in these 3 segments. Global Doctor provided primary medical care in several Asian countries; see Note 14 regarding the sale of the Global Doctor clinics during fiscal 2006.
Management evaluates the performance of the Global Doctor segment based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes, exclusive of nonrecurring gains and losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. The Service, Equipment and Education segments are evaluated based on revenue and gross profit or loss performance, prior to any corporate allocation of sales, marketing or general and administrative expenses. The assets and operating expenses relative to these segments are included in the unallocated amounts as management does not review or allocate these amounts to the segment level.
Financial information with respect to the reportable segments is as follows:

Laerdal owned 3.0% and 5.7%, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2005 and 2004. The Company acquired equipment and supplies from Laerdal while it was a related party totaling $48,000, $96,000 and $174,000, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 and had an outstanding liability to Laerdal of $1,200 and $23,000, respectively, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004.

Note 11. 401(k) Plan
The Company has a 401(k) profit sharing plan, which covers substantially all United States based employees that have attained the age of 18 and have completed at least 1,000 hours of service. Effective January 1, 2007, the plan was changed to replace the requirement of 1,000 hours of service with the requirement of completing 90 days of service. The plan provides for employee deferrals of up to 100% per pay period and employer matching contributions equal to 100% of employee deferrals, to a maximum of 3% and 50% of employee deferrals on the next 2% of deferrals not to exceed the annual limits established by IRS regulations. The Company’s contributions to the plan were as follows:
| | | | |
Year ending December 31, 2006 | | $ | 168,000 | |
Year ending December 31, 2005 | | $ | 126,000 | |
Year ending December 31, 2004 | | $ | 73,000 | |
Note 12. Stock Option Plan
The Company has implemented the Amended and Restated 1998 Key Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The exercise price of the options, as well as the vesting period, is established by the Company’s board of directors. The options granted under the Plan have vesting periods that range from immediate vesting to vesting over five years. The lives of the options granted are ten years. Under the Plan the total number of options permitted is 15% of issued shares up to a maximum of 20,000,000 shares. As of December 31, 2006, 6,865,564 additional options remain that may be granted under the Plan. The options are exercisable for a period of 10 years and vest based upon years of service. There were 130,000, 80,000 and 1,150,000 options granted during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. All stock options outstanding are fully vested as of December 31, 2006. As such, there is no compensation expense to be recognized in future years under SFAS 123(R) for stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2006. The Company received $18,594 in cash proceeds for the exercise of 74,377 options for the year ended December 31, 2006, with no tax benefit realized for tax deductions. Compensation expense of
F-26
$56,064, $112,124 and $117,051, respectively, was recorded in service cost of revenues, sales and marketing expense, and general and administrative expense for stock options in 2006.
On May 3, 2005 at the annual general meeting, a resolution was reached to issue James E. Lara, President and COO, 1,740,000 warrants (options) outside of the existing Plan. Each such warrant entitled the holder to subscribe for one fully paid share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.68 each, with 100% vesting at December 31, 2007 based upon achievement of the performance condition of $5.6 million in EBITDA at that date. The final exercise date available for the warrants was December 31, 2009. The options are listed separately as warrants below. A subsequent board resolution in January 2006 clarified the grant of these warrants to grant 580,000 immediately exercisable warrants, leaving a balance of 1,160,000 warrants that may be granted at a future date. This change is accounted for on the tables following as a forfeiture of the 1,160,000 warrants during the year ended December 31, 2006. Compensation expense of $232,696 was recorded to general and administrative expense for these warrants in 2006.
F-27
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the stock-based awards with the following weighted-average assumptions:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Year Ended |
| | December 31, | | December 31, | | December 31, |
| | 2006 | | 2005 | | 2004 |
Expected life of award | | 5 years | | 5 years | | 5 years |
Volatility | | | 70 | % | | | 57 | % | | | 60 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | 3 | % | | | 3 | % | | | 3 | % |
Expected dividends yield | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % | | | 0 | % |
The assumptions above are based on multiple factors, including historical exercise patterns of employees in relatively homogeneous groups with respect to exercise and post-vesting employment termination behaviors, expected future exercising patterns for these same homogeneous groups and the implied volatility of the Company’s stock price.

Note 13. Litigation
As previously disclosed in the Company’s 2005 Form 10-K, Best Dynamic Services Limited and Joan Sullivan Garrett entered into Letter Agreements (the “Letter Agreements”) dated December 17, 2005, which outlined mutual goals and strategies relating to the direction and control of the Company. The Letter Agreements effected a standstill with respect to all lawsuits pending or threatened between any of the parties and their affiliates, including the action brought by the Company against certain of its shareholders in the United States District Court for the District of Arizona seeking declaratory relief and damages (the “Arizona Litigation”) and the action brought by certain of the Company’s shareholders against the Company and certain of its officers and directors seeking declaratory relief and damages (the “Nevada Litigation,” and together with the Arizona Litigation, the “Litigation”).
The Letter Agreements provided that when certain conditions were met, the parties would file stipulations of dismissal with prejudice regarding the Litigation, which stipulations were filed on March 6, 2006. The Letter Agreements further provided that the two shareholders and their affiliates release each other and their respective affiliates and use their best efforts to cause MedAire and other shareholders to exchange releases. The parties to the Arizona Litigation and the Nevada Litigation and several shareholders executed such releases on March 1, 2006.
Note 14. Acquisitions and Dispositions
Upon consummation of each acquisition the Company evaluates whether the acquisition constitutes a business. An acquisition is considered a business if it is comprised of a complete self-sustaining integrated set of activities and assets consisting of inputs, processing applied to those inputs and resulting outputs to generate revenues. For a transferred set of activities and assets to be a business, it must contain all the inputs and processes necessary for it to continue to conduct normal operations after the transferred asset is separated from the transferor, which includes the ability to sustain a revenue stream by providing its outputs to customers. A transferred set of activities and assets fails the definition of a business if it excludes one or more significant items such that it is not possible for the set to continue normal operations and sustain a revenue stream by providing its products and/or services to customers.
During the year ended December 31, 2004, the Company made the acquisition of Medical Advisory Services (“MAS”) discussed below. The business acquisition was accounted for as a purchase business combination with the operations of the business included subsequent to the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price was generally based upon management’s estimates of the discounted future cash flows.
2006 Business Disposition
Since late 2005, the Company pursued the sale of its Global Doctor network of medical clinics consisting of eight western-standard medical clinics in Asia, operating under the name Global Doctor. There were six
F-29
facilities in China, one in Bangkok, Thailand and one in Jakarta, Indonesia. Although the Global Doctor clinic network had steadily grown its revenue, the operations were unable to reach the break-even point in the three years the Company owned and operated the network. The Company was uncertain as to the network’s ability to reach the break-even point in future years and, therefore, decided that selling the clinics and entering into preferred provider agreements with the new owners would be in the best interests of the Company’s clients and shareholders. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company completed the sale of the medical clinics as discussed below.
F-30
At December 31, 2006, a small amount of liabilities remain which relate to the disposal of the clinics and final wrap up of the financial affairs of the Global Doctor subsidiary.
The Company entered into a Share Sale Agreement on June 1, 2006 for the sale of six medical clinics in China for a sales price of $315,000. The sale was completed and the balance of the gross sales proceeds of $315,000 was received by the Company on June 23, 2006.
The Company entered into a Sale and Purchase of Shares Agreement on June 14, 2006 for the sale of the medical clinic in Jakarta, Indonesia. On July 28, 2006 a new sale and purchase of shares agreement was executed which included a sales price of $161,000. The sale was completed on July 31, 2006, and the Company received $50,000 in cash and executed a note receivable on August 3, 2006, for $111,000 due in 24 monthly installments beginning September 1, 2006, plus interest at an annual rate of 6%. The note is secured by a personal guarantee and a pledge of the shares purchased. As of December 31, 2006, the remaining balance of the note receivable was $89,000.
The Company entered into an agreement for the sale of the assets at the clinic in Bangkok, Thailand for $20,000. The sale was completed August 31, 2006, and proceeds were received in September 2006.
As a result of the three sales, the Company recorded total pre-tax losses of $787,816 for year ended December 31, 2006, to recognize the net assets and cumulative foreign currency translation losses in excess of the sales proceeds and note receivable and estimated costs to wrap up all the financial affairs of the Global Doctor operations.
The loss on sale of subsidiary in the consolidated statement of operations included accrued expenses of approximately $244,081 during the year ended December 31, 2006, for the estimated costs to exit the Global Doctor operations. The remaining liability at December 31, 2006 of $88,759 is expected to be paid during the first half of 2007.
In accordance with FAS 146 “Accounting for the Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, a summary of the liability and charges for the estimated costs to exit the Global Doctor operations is as follows:

2004 Business Acquisition
In April 2004, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the Medical Advisory Services (“MAS”) division of Digital Angel Corporation for $386,005. MAS provided medical advisory services to the commercial maritime industry. The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase and constitutes a business under Emerging Issues Task Force 98-3, “Determining Whether a Transaction Is an Exchange of Similar Productive Assets or of a Business Combination,” (“EITF 98-3”).
The aggregate purchase price of $386,005 was assigned as follows:
| | | | |
Non-compete agreement (5 year life) | | $ | 150,000 | |
Customer list (5 year life) | | | 195,000 | |
Other intangibles (1-5 year lives) | | | 75,000 | |
Inventory | | | 39,991 | |
Deferred revenue | | | (73,986 | ) |
| | | |
| | $ | 386,005 | |
| | | |
The Company evaluated the transferred set of activities, assets, inputs, outputs and processes associated with this acquisition and determined that it constituted a business. As such, the Company accounted for this acquisition as a business combination in accordance with SFAS 141. The Company achieved entrance into the Commercial Maritime market which supported its recorded value.
The following table illustrates the effects on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2004 had the results of MAS been included in this reporting periods from the beginning of January 1, 2004 (MAS is a market within Company operations and although revenues are tracked separately, the Company does not track costs in this manner, nor is the information readily available.

These solutions are comprised of three major components: 24/7/365 situation management, which includes services, such as real-time medical advice and assistance, training and education and medical resources such as medical kits. The Company is an Arizona-based corporation with both domestic and international operations and customers.
Principles of consolidation:
All accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements for the appropriate periods. All significant inter-company transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
On April 16, 2002, MedAire Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary, was formed to do business in the United Kingdom.
In January 2003, a transaction was completed to merge with Global Doctor Limited (Global Doctor), located in Perth, Australia. Global Doctor primarily operates a network of international clinics in Asia. Beginning in late 2005, the Company began pursuing the sale of Global Doctor. In order to sell Global doctor by region (China, Indonesia and Thailand), an internal corporate reorganization was implemented in 2006. The sale of Global Doctor clinics was completed during the third quarter of 2006. The Company’s consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 include the wholly owned subsidiary Global Doctor Services Pty Ltd.
Effective December 2005, Global Resources, Inc., was formed as a wholly owned subsidiary of MedAire, Inc., for purposes of holding the Company’s mining rights sale agreements for mining rights previously sold and is included in the consolidated financial statements. Currently, Global Resources does not hold any assets or liabilities, nor is it engaged in any activity.
Use of estimates:
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management are used for, but not limited to, accounts receivable, allowance for doubtful accounts, deferred revenue, deferred income taxes, identifiable intangibles and goodwill.

Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Accounts receivable:
In order to increase cash flow, the Company has historically followed a practice of invoicing customers one month in advance of the commencement of services. These invoices are recorded as accounts receivable and deferred revenues at the time the amount is invoiced to the customer, and revenue is recognized ratably over the service period once it commences. The amount of accounts receivable and deferred revenues recorded for these prebillings was $1,601,136 and $1,529,302, as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
Net income (loss) per common share:
Net income (loss) per common share has been computed on the basis of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during each period presented. For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, 100,000 and 1,713,630, respectively, common shares issuable upon exercise of employee stock options and 0 and 580,000 stock warrants, respectively, have not been included in the computation of net income (loss) per common share because their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, 300,000 and 1,713,630, respectively, common shares issuable upon exercise of employee stock options and 580,000 stock warrants have not been included in the computation of net income (loss) per common share because their inclusion would have had an antidilutive effect.
Stock Options:
The Company has a stock-based employee compensation plan. The Company generally grants stock options for a fixed number of shares to employees and directors with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the shares at the date of grant. Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for that plan under the recognition and measurement provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”) and related interpretations, as allowed by SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). The Company had adopted the disclosure-only provisions of SFAS 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”. Under the requirements of SFAS 123, non-employee stock-based transactions require compensation to be recorded based on the fair value of the securities issued or services rendered whichever is more reliably measured. Stock compensation was not issued to non-employees, and accordingly, no compensation cost has been recognized for any non-employee stock option grants.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective-transition method. Under that transition method, compensation cost recognized in 2006 includes: (a) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and (b) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.
As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Company’s net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 is $32,959 and $517,935, respectively, higher than if it had continued to account for share-based compensation under APB 25. Basic and diluted losses per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 would have been $(0.02) and $(0.03), respectively, if the Company had not adopted SFAS 123(R), compared to reported basic and diluted losses per share of $(0.02) and $(0.04), respectively. No compensation expense was recorded during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007, as no stock options were granted during those periods and all previously granted awards were fully vested.
G-9
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Statement of Cash Flows. SFAS 123(R) requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options (excess tax benefits) to be classified as financing cash flows. There were 174,377 options exercised during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 74,377 options exercised during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006. These incentive stock option exercises resulted in $80,094 and $18,594 in cash proceeds, respectively, with no tax benefits received.

New Accounting Pronouncements:
In December 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections – a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 mandates retrospective application of a voluntary change in accounting principle, unless it is impracticable to determine either the cumulative effect or the period-specific effects of the changes. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in method of depreciation, amortization, or depletion for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate that is affected by a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 154 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 156”). SFAS 156 amends SFAS 140,Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities,with respect to the accounting for separately recognized servicing assets and servicing liabilities. SFAS 156 is effective for years beginning after September 15, 2006. The adoption of SFAS 156 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position EITF 00-19-2,Accounting for Registration Payment Arrangements(“FSP EITF 00-19-2”). FSP EITF 00-19-2 specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5,Accounting for Contingencies.A registration payment arrangement is defined in FSP EITF 00-19-2 as an arrangement with both of the following characteristics: (1) the arrangement specifies that the issuer will endeavor (a) to file a registration statement for the resale of specified financial instruments and/or for the resale of equity shares that are issuable upon exercise or conversion of specified financial instruments and for that registration statement to be declared effective by the US SEC within a specified grace period, and/or (b) to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for a specified period of time (or in perpetuity); and (2) the arrangement requires the issuer to transfer consideration to the counterparty if the registration statement for the resale of the financial instrument or instruments subject to the arrangement is not declared effective or if effectiveness of the registration statement is not maintained. FSP EITF 00-19-2 is effective for registration payment arrangements and the financial instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified subsequent to December 21, 2006. For registration payment arrangements and financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into prior to the issuance of FSP EITF 00-19-2, this guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of FSP EITF 00-19-2 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities(“SFAS 159”) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS 159 will be effective for us on January 1, 2008. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159 on our financial position, cash flows, and results of operations.

Note 2. Disposition of Global Doctor
Since late 2005, the Company has been pursuing the potential sale of its Global Doctor network of medical clinics consisting of eight western-standard medical clinics in Asia, operating under the name Global Doctor. There were six facilities in China, one in Bangkok, Thailand and one in Jakarta, Indonesia. Although the Global Doctor clinic network has steadily grown its revenue, the operations have been unable to reach the break-even point in the three years the Company owned and operated the network. The Company was uncertain as to the network’s ability to reach the break-even point in future years and, therefore, decided that selling the clinics and entering into preferred provider agreements with the new owners would be in the best interests of the Company’s clients and shareholders. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company completed the sale of the medical clinics as discussed below.
The Company entered into a Share Sale Agreement on June 1, 2006 for the sale of six medical clinics in China for a sales price of $315,000. The sale was completed and the balance of the sales proceeds of $315,000 was received by the Company on June 23, 2006.
The Company entered into a Sale and Purchase of Shares Agreement on June 14, 2006 for the sale of the medical clinic in Jakarta, Indonesia. On July 28, 2006 a new sale and purchase of shares agreement was executed which included a sales price of $161,000. The sale was completed on August 3, 2006 and the Company received $50,000 in cash and a note receivable due in 24 monthly installments beginning September 1, 2006, plus interest at an annual rate of 6%. The note is secured by a personal guarantee and a pledge of the shares purchased. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the remaining balance of the note receivable was $66,000 and $89,000, respectively.
The Company entered into an agreement for the sale of the assets at the clinic in Bangkok, Thailand for $20,000. The sale was completed August 31, 2006, and proceeds were received in September 2006.
As a result of the three sales, the Company recorded a pre-tax loss of $500,000 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, to recognize the net assets in excess of the sales proceeds and note receivable and estimated costs of approximately $215,000 to wrap up all the financial affairs of the Global Doctor operations. The remaining liability is expected to be paid during 2007.
In accordance with FAS 146 “Accounting for the Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities”, a summary of the liability and charges for the estimated costs to exit the Global Doctor operations is as follows:

Note 3. Segment Reporting
The Company’s reportable segments are strategic business units that offer different products and services. They are managed separately because each business requires different technology and marketing strategies.
There are four reportable segments: Service, Equipment, Education and Global Doctor. The Service, Equipment and Education segments provide medical advice, equipment and training to subscribers. Amounts for MedAire, Inc. and MedAire Ltd are included in these 3 segments. Global Doctor provides primary medical care in several Asian countries.
Management evaluates the performance of the Global Doctor segment based on profit or loss from operations before income taxes, exclusive of nonrecurring gains and losses and foreign exchange gains and losses. The Service, Equipment and Education segments are evaluated based on revenue and gross profit or loss performance, prior to any corporate allocation for sales, marketing or general and administrative expense. The assets and operating expenses relative to these segments are included in the unallocated amounts as management does not review or allocate these amounts to the segment level.
Financial information with respect to the reportable segments is as follows:

Note 4. Stock Based Compensation
The Company has implemented the Amended and Restated 1998 Key Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan includes both incentive and non-qualified stock options. The exercise price of the options, as well as the vesting period, is established by the Company’s board of directors. The options granted under the Plan have vesting periods that range from immediate vesting to vesting over five years. The lives of the options granted are ten years. Under the Plan the total number of options permitted is 15% of issued shares up to a maximum of 20,000,000 shares. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, 7,366,098 and 6,865,564 additional options remain that may be granted under the Plan. The options are exercisable for a period of 10 years and vest based upon years of service. There were 130,000 stock options granted during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006. No stock options were granted during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. All stock options outstanding are fully vested as of June 30, 2007. As such, there is no compensation expense to be recognized in future years under SFAS 123(R) for stock options outstanding as of June 30, 2007.
G-14
Note 4. Stock Based Compensation (continued)
No compensation expense was recorded during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007. Due to the change in control regarding the Company’s board of directors that took place in January 2006, all options outstanding vested immediately during the first quarter of 2006. As a result, the Company recognized $56,064, $112,124 and $84,092 of compensation expense in service cost of revenues, sales and marketing expense, and general and administrative expense, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2006. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2006, the Company recognized additional compensation expense of $32,959 for the grant of 130,000 stock options. This expense was charged to general and administrative expense.
On May 3, 2005 at the annual general meeting, a resolution was reached to issue James E. Lara, President and COO, 1,740,000 warrants (options) outside of the existing Plan. Each such warrant entitled the holder to subscribe for one fully paid share of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $0.68 each, with 100% vesting at December 31, 2007 based upon achievement of the performance condition of $5.6 million in EBITDA at that date. The final exercise date available for the warrants was December 31, 2009. The options are listed separately as warrants below. A subsequent board resolution in January 2006 clarified the grant of these warrants to grant 580,000 immediately exercisable warrants, leaving a balance of 1,160,000 warrants that may be granted at a future date. This change is accounted for on the tables following as a forfeiture of the 1,160,000 warrants during the year ended December 31, 2006. Compensation expense of $232,696 was recorded to general and administrative expense for these warrants during the six month period ended June 30, 2006.
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of the stock-based awards with the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, | | June 30, |
| | 2007 | | 2006 |
Expected life of award (in years) | | | N/A | | | | 5 | |
Expected volatility | | | N/A | | | | 70 | % |
Risk-free interest rate | | | N/A | | | | 3 | % |
Expected dividend yield | | | N/A | | | | 0 | % |
The assumptions above are based on multiple factors, including historical exercise patterns of employees in relatively homogeneous groups with respect to exercise and post-vesting employment termination behaviors, expected future exercising patterns for these same homogeneous groups and the implied volatility of our stock price.

Note 5. Income Taxes
On July 13, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Financial Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), which modifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in a company’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” The interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.
The Company adopted FIN48 on January 1, 2007. The Company did not recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings due to the Company’s valuation allowances on its net deferred tax assets. As of January 1, 2007, the Company had no unrecognized tax benefits, as the Company believes that it is more likely than not that each of its tax positions resulting in tax benefits would be sustained upon examination by the taxing authority. While the Company does not have any interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, the Company’s policy is to recognize such expenses as tax expense.

Note 5. Income Taxes (continued)
The Company is subject to periodic audits by domestic and foreign tax authorities. The Company’s tax years for 2003 and forward are subject to examination by the U.S. authorities. Generally, the Company’s tax years for 2003 and forward are subject to examination by state and foreign tax authorities. However, for certain states, the Company’s tax years for 2002 and forward are subject to examination by the tax authorities. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken and to be taken on its tax returns and that its accruals for tax liabilities are adequate for all open years based on an assessment of many factors, including past experience and interpretations of tax law applied to the facts of each matter.
The components of net deferred tax assets are as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | June 30, | | | December 31, | |
| | 2007 | | | 2006 | |
Equipment and leasehold improvements | | $ | (39,000 | ) | | $ | (72,000 | ) |

| | | | | | |
In accordance with SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, the Company originally established a valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2004, and continued to maintain these valuation allowances through the three month period ended March 31, 2007, as management believed that it was more likely than not that its deferred tax assets may not be realized due to the history of losses the Company had sustained. Realization of a deferred tax asset is dependent on whether or not there will be sufficient taxable income in the future periods in which the net operating loss can be utilized as available under tax law. As of June 30, 2007, the Company has now realized net income for four consecutive fiscal quarters. Management now believes that it is more likely than not that the Company will be able to fully utilize all of its deferred tax assets. Accordingly, the Company has reversed $1,198,000 of its deferred tax valuation allowances as of June 30, 2007 and has recognized an income tax benefit of $678,100 during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 in order to recognize deferred tax assets.
The remaining valuation reserve of $461,000 as of June 30, 2007, represents a valuation reserve for the Company’s remaining net operating loss carryforwards. In accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 18, “Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods — an interpretation of APB Opinion No. 28”, the tax benefit for operating loss carryforwards from prior years shall be included in the effective tax rate computation if the tax benefit is expected to be realized as a result of “ordinary” income in the current year. Otherwise, the tax benefit shall be recognized in each interim period to the extent that income in the period and for the year to date is available to offset the operating loss carryforward.
Income tax expense (benefit) consists of the following:

The disclosure of net tangible assets per security is required under the ASX listing rule 4.2A.3; however, it is not required or customary under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Net tangible assets are determined by deducting from total tangible assets all claims on those assets ranking ahead of the ordinary securities. The net tangible assets per security were $0.07 and $0.04 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
