2,908,000 shares of Common Stock
This prospectus relates to 2,908,000 shares of our common stock which may be offered for sale by the selling stockholders named in this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares.
To the extent that the selling stockholders sell their shares, they will initially sell them at a price of $.65 per share. Subsequent to the time, if any, that our shares are quoted for trading, the selling stockholders may sell their shares in one or more transactions on the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, or through a combination of those methods of distribution, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
There has never been a public market for our common stock and the initial public offering price has been arbitrarily determined.
Each of the selling stockholders may be deemed to be an “underwriter” as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933.
An investment in the shares involves substantial risks and is highly speculative. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 5 of this prospectus.
This prospectus is not an offer to sell any securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
You should read the entire prospectus carefully before making an investment decision. Unless the context otherwise indicates, in this prospectus, references to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Physicians Remote Solutions, Inc. and our wholly owned subsidiary, Voxtech Products, Inc.
Our business
Subject to the conditions described elsewhere in this prospectus, we have obtained the exclusive rights to manufacture and sell a telephone based voice activated billing and records entry system designed for use by physicians. The system is called “DR SPEAK.” The DR SPEAK system is intended to permit physicians to simplify and expedite their billing procedures by processing detailed billing information and related claims by telephone from any location.
The DR SPEAK system was conceived by Christina Del Pin M.D., a board-certified general surgeon as well as an author and lecturer on practice management issues. Dr. Del Pin is the spouse of our former president. We believe that if the DR SPEAK system functions as designed, it will simplify the entry of patient information and the processing of billing claims by physicians and provide the flexibility for physicians to enter patient data and submission of claims by telephone from any location in approximately five minutes.
Initial testing of the DR SPEAK system has recently been completed. Although certain problems arose during the testing, we believe that they are minor and that the system can be sold to end users. Because no sales of the system have yet been made, we can not assure you that the system will function as designed or that it will achieve any degree of commercial acceptance. Further testing or product development may be needed for which we have no timetable for completion. There can be no assurance, however, that even if we are successful in raising significant capital, future development or manufacturing efforts will proceed, or that they will be successful.
Rule 419 under the Securities Act of 1933, in pertinent part, defines a “blank check company” as a company that is a development stage company that has no specific business plan or purpose or has indicated that its business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with an unidentified company or companies, or other entity or person. We have both a specific business plan and purpose. In addition, we have not indicated that our business plan is to engage in a merger or acquisition with any company or companies or person or entity. Accordingly, we are not a “blank check company.”
Corporate information
We are a Florida corporation formed on April 5, 2005. Our executive offices are located at 64 Secretariat Court, Tinton Falls, New Jersey 07724 and our telephone number is (732) 676-6030.

Offering by the Selling Stockholders
The selling stockholders named in this prospectus may offer an aggregate 2,908,000 shares for public sale. To the extent that the selling stockholders sell their shares, they will initially sell them at a price of $.65 per share. Subsequent to the time, if any, that our shares are quoted for trading, the selling stockholders may sell their shares in one or more transactions on the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, or through a combination of those methods of distribution, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices.
We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders.

RISK FACTORS
An investment in our common stock involves substantial risks. You should consider carefully the following information about these risks, together with the financial and other information contained in this prospectus, before you decide whether to buy our common stock. If any of these risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations would likely suffer. In such case, you might lose all or part of your investment.
Because we have no operating history and none of our officers has had any prior experience in the management of a company similar to our’s, there is no basis on which you can evaluate our proposed business and prospects. We were incorporated in April 2005 and have never had any operations.
Although our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern, if we fail to continue as a going concern, you can expect to lose your investment in our common stock. The report of our independent auditor refers to the uncertainty of our ability to continue as a going concern.
Because of the limited capital available to us, we may not have sufficient capital to operate our business or remain in existence subsequent to July 2007, in either of which cases you can expect to lose your investment. We do not have the capital required to engage in our proposed business. Furthermore, we will incur legal and accounting expenses to comply with our reporting obligations to the Securities and Exchange Commission and we will be obligated to pay our operating expenses as they arise. If we fail to pay the required annual fees to the state of Florida, we will be dissolved and cease to exist.
5
Because we do not have sufficient capital to begin to market the DR SPEAK system on a national level, we may never be able to do so. We believe that in order for us to begin to market the DR SPEAK system on a national level, we will require additional capital of approximately $100,000. There can be no assurance that our estimate is not too low. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will obtain adequate funding, if any, or that the terms of any such funding will not be unfavorable to us. It is difficult and very often impossible for development stage companies to obtain adequate financing on any terms. Other than any proceeds we may receive in our offering made by this prospectus, we are not aware of any sources of capital available to us.
If we raise additional funds through the issuance of our equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, we may undergo a change in control and stockholders may experience dilution which could substantially diminish the value of their common stock. One of the factors which generally affects the market price of publicly traded equity securities is the number of shares outstanding in relationship to assets, net worth, earnings or anticipated earnings and other financial items. In the event that a public market in our shares develops and is sustained, a material amount of dilution can be expected to cause the market price of our shares to decline. Furthermore, the public perception of future dilution can have the same effect even if the actual dilution does not occur.
Because two of our executive officers will devote only a portion of their time to us, they may not have sufficient time to effectively mange our affairs. Our vice president, who is also our corporate secretary, and our treasurer will devote only a portion of their time to us. We may determine that full time management is necessary although we may not have sufficient funds to employ executive officers on a full time basis. Although neither of our part-time executive officers can now determine the amount of time he will devote to our affairs, they will not devote their full time to us unless we have sufficient capital to adequately compensate them.
We expect to compete with many larger, established and well financed companies, substantially all of which have greater financial resources, technical expertise and managerial capabilities than we do.Our success is dependent in significant part upon our ability to effectively compete with those companies. We expect the competition to be intense in areas of price and quality.
The intense competition we expect to encounter may result in our right to manufacture and market the DR SPEAK system to become worthless.Intensity of competition is a function of the number and relative market strengths of competitors. There are numerous competitors in the fields we intend to enter with developed product lines and established consumer followings. Any level of actual or perceived negative comparative advantage between the DR SPEAK system and competitors’ products by our potential customers can make the DR SPEAK system unsaleable and therefore worthless in the marketplace.
6
If we are unable to effectively manage our anticipated growth, our business, financial condition and results of operations will suffer and our business could fail. If we are successful in marketing the DR SPEAK system, our growth will place a significant strain on our financial and managerial resources. As part of our anticipated growth, we may have to implement new operational and financial systems and procedures and controls to expand, train and manage employees. If the systems, procedures and controls do not function as planned, our ability to remain in business may be significantly impaired. The impairment could result in the failure of our business.
Because the DR SPEAK system has been subject to only limited testing, we do not know if it will function as designed. During the testing, problems arose in connection with voice recognition and recording and transmission of data. Although we believe that the problems have been corrected to the extent that we can offer the system for sale, there can be no assurance that other problems will not arise. If, after completion of testing, the DR SPEAK system does not function substantially as designed, you can expect to lose your investment in our shares.
Because no patent has been issued with respect to the DR SPEAK system, the related intellectual property may not be protected.Although Dr. Del Pin has filed an application for a patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, there can be no assurance that a patent will be issued, or if issued, that it will include any meaningful claims. Furthermore the validity of issued patents are frequently challenged by others. In the absence of patent protection, third parties may independently develop similar technology which could undercut our market position, if any, particularly if the third party has greater experience and resources than we do. In addition, any measures that we may take to protect the technology may prove inadequate, which could result in the eventual use of Dr. Del Pin’s proprietary technology by competitors.
In the event that the interactive voice recognition system that is now a part of the Windows XP operating system is changed or superseded in either the XP operating systems or future Microsoft operating systems such as the “Vista” system, the DR SPEAK system could be materially adversely affected. The interactive voice recognition feature of the DR SPEAK system utilizes the voice recognition portion of Microsoft’s Windows XP operating system. We cannot assure you that under any of these circumstances, we will have the financial and technical resources to appropriately modify the DR SPEAK system to operate in conjunction with any changed or superseded operating system.
Because of our limited resources, we may be unable to protect a patent or to challenge others who may infringe upon a patent. Because many holders of patents have substantially greater resources than we do and patent litigation is very expensive, we may not have the resources necessary to challenge successfully the validity of patents held by others or withstand claims of infringement or challenges to any patent Dr. Del Pin may obtain. Even if we prevail, the cost and management distraction of litigation could have a material adverse effect on us.
Our business decisions will likely be made without the benefit of detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis or market surveys and, therefore, may not be beneficial to us.Detailed feasibility studies, independent analysis or market surveys are widely used to provide a comprehensive view of market conditions and promotional activities. In their absence, we may not be aware of many very important facts and circumstances concerning our proposed business. Because we have not made any sales, our belief that the DR SPEAK system can achieve market acceptance has been based solely on the subjective judgment of Dr. Del Pin.
7
Unless we generate sufficient revenues to achieve profitability, you can expect to lose your investment in our common stock.Even if we do achieve profitability, we cannot assure you that we can sustain or increase profitability in the future. We cannot assure you that even if the DR SPEAK system functions as designed, that it will produce any meaningful revenues or profits. As of December 5, 2006, our representatives had made an aggregate of 66 sales calls to potential users of the DR SPEAK system and which did not result in any sales. See “Our Business – Marketing.”
If we do not make the required minimum sales of the DR SPEAK system, we will lose our right of exclusivity which could significantly diminish the value of the rights we have acquired from Dr. Del Pin. We believe that the right of exclusivity is material to us. In order to maintain the right, we mustmake the required minimum sales of the DR SPEAK system as described elsewhere in this prospectus. We cannot now determine if we will be able to make the minimum amount of sales, if any. If we fail to do so, we will lose the exclusive rights and Dr. Del Pin will be able to sell the DR SPEAK system directly or through other companies which may have substantially greater financial and managerial resources than we do. If the DR SPEAK system is successfully marketed by others, the value of the rights we have acquired from Dr. Del Pin will be significantly diminished.
If the use of the DR SPEAK system subjects physicians and others to violations of the Federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, including regulations governing the confidentiality and integrity of protected health information, we could incur severe legal and financial liabilities and lose any positive business reputation we may otherwise have had.Federal regulations under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 governing the confidentiality and integrity of protected health information are complex and are evolving rapidly. Although we believe that we will not be subject to the provisions of that Act, we anticipate that they may directly affect the use of the DR SPEAK system by others. We may be required to modify the DR SPEAK system to facilitate our customer’s compliance with these regulations, but there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so in a t imely, complete or cost effective manner. Achieving compliance with the regulations could be costly and distract management’s attention from our operations. In addition, development of related federal and state regulations and policies regarding the confidentiality of health information or other matters could adversely affect our business. If the security system which is part of the DR SPEAK system fails to protect our customers or other users of the system, we could be held liable in a product liability action.
Because we do not presently intend to acquire and maintain commercial product liability insurance,we may be exposed to claims and litigation. We may not be financially able to defend any such claims or litigation or we may be subject to judgments which may be for amounts greater than our ability to pay.
8
If security and legal liability concerns make potential customers unwilling to utilize the DR SPEAK system to export medical information electronically, we may not be able to sell any DR SPEAK Systems.Potential customers may choose not to utilize the DR SPEAK system because of concerns related to the electronic transfer and management of protected health information, including security of the protected health information being transferred; errors in the transmission of protected health information; legal liability for data security failures or transmission errors and regulatory burdens imposed on healthcare participants who transfer protected health information electronically.
Because of the concentration of ownership of our common stock by a small number of stockholders, it is unlikely that any other holder of common stock will be able to affect our management or direction. On December 6, 2006, two of our stockholders were deemed to beneficially own approximately 67% of our outstanding common stock. Accordingly, if these stockholders act together as a group, they would be able to control the outcome of stockholder votes, including votes concerning the election of directors, the adoption or amendment of provisions in our articles of incorporation and bylaws and the approval of significant corporate transactions. The existence of ownership concentrated in a few persons may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in management or voting control. Furthermore, the interests of our controlling stockholders could conflict with those of our other stockholders.
If a viable public market for our shares does not develop, you will not be able to easily sell your shares, if at all.There has not been and may never be a public market for our shares and we cannot assure you that a public market will ever develop. We cannot predict the extent, if any, to which investor interest in our company will lead to the development of a viable trading market in our shares.
The large number of shares eligible for public sale after this offering can be expected to adversely affect the prices that will prevail in the trading market, if one develops. Sales of significant amounts of our shares in the public market or the perception that such sales will occur, can materially adversely affect the market price of the shares, if any, or our ability to raise capital through future offerings of equity securities. All shares sold in the offering made by this prospectus will be eligible for public sale after the offering. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale.”
If our shares do not become quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, any trading market for the shares may be adversely affected.In order for our shares to be quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, a broker-dealer must file an application with the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and the Over- the-Counter Bulletin Board must approve the application. We cannot assure you that either of those events will occur. If our shares do not become quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, investors may be reluctant to or decide not to purchase our shares in the over-the counter market. Accordingly, our stock price, if any, can be expected to be adversely affected and our stockholders may have limited, if any, ability to sell our shares.
9
Because our common stock is considered to be a “penny stock,” our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares in a public market may be significantly impaired by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s penny stock rules. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules generally require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock the broker-dealer make a spe cial written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a stock that is or becomes subject to the penny stock rules. In addition the burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by the penny stock rules may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock, which could severely limit its liquidity.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Many statements made in this prospectus are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements include statements about:
·
our ability to engage in operations
·
our ability to have the DR SPEAK system manufactured in commercial quantities
·
the efficacy of the DR SPEAK system
·
our capital needs and our ability to secure significant capital
·
the competitiveness of our business within our industry
·
our strategies
·
other statements that are not historical facts
When used in this prospectus, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “intend” and similar expressions are generally intended to identify forward-looking statements. Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements, including:
·
changes in general economic and business conditions
·
changes in the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, regulations and requirements
·
actions of our competitors
·
the time and expense involved in development activities
·
changes in our business strategies
·
other factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this prospectus.
10
The forward-looking statements in this prospectus reflect what we currently anticipate will happen. What actually happens could differ materially from what we currently anticipate will happen. We may not make any public announcement when we think forward-looking statements in this prospectus are no longer accurate whether as a result of new information, what actually happens in the future or for any other reason.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We will not receive any proceeds from sales of shares by the selling stockholders.
DIVIDEND POLICY
We have never declared or paid any cash dividends on our capital stock and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. Future dividends, if any, will be determined by our Board of Directors. In addition, we may incur indebtedness in the future which may prohibit or effectively restrict the payment of dividends, although we have no current plans to do so.
MANAGEMENT’S PLAN OF OPERATION
The following should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this prospectus. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly under the caption “Risk Factors.”
We have recently employed Christopher LaRose as our president and chief executive officer. Although Mr. LaRose’s duties will not differ from those of our previous president, we made the change primarily because of Mr. LaRose’s technical expertise and intimate familiarity with the DR SPEAK system. Mr. LaRose serves as our president on a full-time basis. As president of GetAGeek, Inc., Mr. LaRose was primarily responsible for the development of the software which constitutes the system. With Mr. LaRose as our president and chief executive officer, we believe that we are in a better position to market the DR SPEAK system and respond to issues that may develop.
Based upon the results of the recently completed beta testing of the system, we believe that the system is now technically ready to be introduced into the marketplace.
In August 2006, we entered into a non-exclusive sales agency agreement with Northcoast Biomedical, Inc. for the state of Ohio. Northcoast will receive a 25% commission on all sales of DR SPEAK systems originated by it if it sells, at our published price schedule. Any sales at discounts below our schedule will be subject to our prior approval and, in such cases, Northcoast’s commission will be reduced by twice the percentage discount. For example, if we discount our scheduled prices by 10%, its commissions would be reduced by 20% to a net of 20%. If it is ever deemed necessary or advisable for us to discount to a point at which it is not profitable for us, no commission will be earned by Northcoast. Either party may terminate the agreement upon ninety days notice to the other party. Northcoast has not sold any systems.
11
In September 2006, we entered into an independent sales representative agreement with Daniel Elsbree. In connection with the agreement, we issued 50,000 shares of our common stock to Mr. Elsbree and have registered those shares in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Mr. Elsbree has, however, agreed that none of those shares may be sold pursuant to the registration statement prior to the time that he sells a minimum of five DR SPEAK systems on our behalf for which we shall have received full payment. Mr. Elsbree has agreed to use his best efforts to effect sales of the systems during full business time. We have agreed to pay to Mr. Elsbree an amount representing 20% of the sales price received us from the sale of the systems made by him less any returns or allowances. We have provided Mr. Elsbree with a laptop computer to be used by him in demonstrating the system and we have agreed to reimburse him for expenses incurred by him not to exceed $150 during any thirty day period. Mr. Elsbree has not sold any systems.
We intend to seek other sales representatives to offer our product on a commission basis.
Richard Schreiber, one of the selling stockholders, arranged a meeting in Cleveland that was attended by people expressing an interest in marketing our software. Our agreement with Northcoast Biomedical, Inc. was a direct result of the meeting. Mr. Schreiber has advised us that he has begun negotiations on our behalf with the National Association of Subacute and Post Acute Care. He has also has assured us that he will continue to look for strategic alliances with a view toward expanding our market. Because we believe that Mr. Schreiber’s future efforts may become fruitful, we have granted a six month option to him for the purchase of up to 500,000 shares of our common stock at $.09 per share. We have found Mr. Schreiber to be helpful to us in the past and we expect that he will continue to be so.
We have previously spent approximately $5,500 on marketing. The expenditures were for the purchase of two laptop computers to be used for demonstrating the DR SPEAK system, travel expenses for Messrs. Elsbree and LaRose, payment to Envisionit Media, Inc. for our website and publication of a press release. We intend to utilize an additional amount of approximately $20,000 of our funds to engage in a limited marketing plan. The limited marketing plan, which will remain in effect for approximately four months, will consist primarily of the following:
·
advertising in industry publications for which we intend to spend approximately $7,000. Among the publications in which we are considering for advertisements of the DR SPEAK system are Physicians Practice, Medical Economics, and AAMI Journal;
·
attendance at a semi-annual conference for the American College of Surgeons in 2007 at a cost of approximately $5,000;
·
attendance at the trade show of the American College of Physicians at a cost of approximately $5,000; and
12
·
attendance at an additional trade show that we have not yet selected.
We had planned to attend a semi-annual conference for the American College of Surgeons in October 2006. We decided, however, to defer our attendance primarily because we wanted to first complete the recent revisions to the DR SPEAK system, which we have now done.
We issued a press release in November 2006 relating to the availability for sale of the DR SPEAK system.. We have not received any significant response fro the press release although we believe that it generally takes approximately one to three months for press releases to appear in industry publications.
We have retained Envisionit Media, Inc. to design a website which we intend to utilize to offer the DR SPEAK system for sale. We also intend to utilize the website for customer and technical support and to make any patches or improvements that we may development available for downloading. We have paid Envisionit Media, Inc. $2,500 and, upon completion of the website we will issue 5,000 shares of our common stock to Envisionit Media, Inc.
When we filed our initial pre-effective registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in February 2006, we intended to expend a substantial portion of our available funds on marketing the DR SPEAK system after the completion of beta testing. At that time, we expected an earlier completion date of the beta testing. Because, however, the beta testing has recently been completed, we are just beginning to expend significant funds on marketing activities and have enough available funds to complete our limited marketing plan as described above. In addition we do not pay any rent or cash executive compensation. Accordingly, even in the absence of sales revenues or the receipt of additional capital, we believe that we have sufficient funds to remain in business through July 2007.
We intend to seek additional funds through the private sale of equity securities. We intend to use the net proceeds to increase our marketing activities and to pay as yet an undetermined cash salary to our president. Our proposed increased marketing activities include attendance at more trade shows and the placement of more and larger advertisements in trade publications. In addition, if our capital resources permit, we intend to hire a full time salesperson, who among other activities, would engage in direct solicitations at physicians’ offices. We have received no commitment for additional capital and there can be no assurance that we will be able to acquire additional capital on terms not unfavorable to us, if at all.
Regardless of the amount of funds available to us for marketing, we intend to pursue strategic alliances with complementary businesses in an effort to enter medical offices. The complementary businesses we intend to solicit are those that have developed and maintain marketing channels to our potential customers. Examples of those businesses are sellers of office supplies, medical record software and medical billing software. If we are successful in creating strategic alliances, we would be able to take advantage of one or more existing sales forces without the payment of any amounts other than commissions based upon sales.
13
The strategic alliances that we intend to pursue relate to the inclusion of the DR SPEAK system in the product lines of complementary businesses.
Our target complementary businesses are companies that:
·
Offer software or systems that lack a medical billing function and have an existing client base of 50 or more;
·
Directly sell products or services to medical offices having not more than five physicians; and
·
Provide end-user support and/or installation services for products they have sold.
We believe that complementary businesses could benefit by selling their existing clients the DR SPEAK system and receiving commissions based upon the sales. We further believe that establishing strategic alliances with complementary businesses can increase the exposure and brand recognition of the DR SPEAK system which, in turn, could positively affect our sales of the system. We have not begun any negotiations with complementary businesses. with the exception of Northcoast Biomedical, Inc. which provides medical equipment to physicians. We expect to begin discussions with other complementary businesses prior to the end of 2006.
We do not intend to engage in any product research or development or purchase or sell plant or significant equipment during the next twelve months. We expect that any further development of the DR SPEAK system will be done by GetAGeek, Inc. at no cost to us.
If the DR SPEAK systems functions as we anticipate and we realize significant revenues, we expect to hire two full time employees.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements.
OUR BUSINESS
Background
Subject to the conditions described below, we have obtained the exclusive rights to manufacture and sell a telephone based voice activated billing and records entry system designed for use by physicians. The system is called “DR SPEAK.” The DR SPEAK system was conceived by Christina Del Pin M.D., a board-certified general surgeon as well as an author and lecturer on practice management issues.
Among the writings of which Dr. Del Pin was a co-author are:
·
Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Relationship of Pathology and Operative Time, JSLS 2002(6)149-154;

In addition, Dr. Del Pin Del Pin is the author ofHanging a Golden Shingle, Self Help Guide to Starting a Medical Practice, Corval Press, Greenwich CT, 2004.
During the past three years, Dr. Del Pin has given lectures on the topic of physician self employment and how to start a medical practice, using her bookGolden Shingle, Self Help Guide to Starting a Medical Practice as the template. She has presented her lecture to groups of practicing surgeons, surgical residents, and medical students during their scheduled weekly educational lectures. Dr. Del Pin is an Advanced Trauma Life Support Instructor and has given annual lectures at Westchester Medical Center on the subject of trauma for the last ten years. The lectures were given to other multi-specialty physicians and medical students. In 2000 Dr. Del Pin presented a paper on laparoscopic chlecystectomy that was published in the journal of the Society of Laparoscopic Surgeons.
Additional information relating to Dr, Del Pin can be found on her website at http://www.drdelpin.org/CirriculaVita.htm.
We believe that if the DR SPEAK system functions as designed, it will simplify the entry of patient information and the processing of billing claims by physicians and provide the flexibility for physicians to enter patient data and submission of claims by telephone in approximately five minutes. Because many physicians are often away from their office environment, devoting sufficient time to record billing information is often difficult. The DR SPEAK system has been designed to permit a physician to call via telephone into a computer system with a voice compliant modem and answer some basic questions in natural English. The computer software is designed to store a record of a patient encounter (voice and text), and also generate a bill or claim. When paired with Pro 32 software, Medicare’s preferred electronic billing software, the medical claims can then be submitted to many major insurance carriers electronically.
A test version of the DR SPEAK system was displayed at the 2003 American College of Surgeons Clinical College in Chicago. At that time, the proposed selling price was $5,000. Although Dr. Del Pin has advised us that the concept and operation of the DR SPEAK system appeared to have been generally well received by the attendees, most sales prospects considered the price to be prohibitive and no systems were sold.
In order to significantly reduce the cost of the DR SPEAK system, the underlying architecture of the system has been changed. No hardware will be included with the system and an interactive voice recognition system is now used that is part of the Windows XP operating system. Because the DR SPEAK system is designed to be run on computers utilizing the Windows XP operating system, the system does not copy any part of the Windows XP operating system nor does it constitute a derivative work of any software developed by Microsoft. Accordingly, we neither have nor are we required to have an agreement with Microsoft other than Microsoft’s end user agreement which must be agreed to by each legal user of the Windows XP operating system.
15
Although we have not yet determined the price at which we will offer the DR SPEAK system to prospective customers, we anticipate that it will not exceed $2,000.
Acquisition of Exclusive Rights
We have purchased the exclusive rights to manufacture the DR SPEAK system and sell the DR SPEAK system in the United States from Dr. Del Pin. We also obtained the use of any and all trade names, trademarks and copyrights held by Dr. Del Pin or subsequently acquired by her relating to the DR SPEAK system. The purchase price consisted of 200,000 shares of our common stock and our agreement to pay Dr. Del Pin a royalty of $200 for each sale of a DR SPEAK System made by or on behalf of us. Royalty payments will become due and payable thirty days subsequent to the end of the calendar quarter in which the proceeds of the respective sales are collected by us or on our behalf.
In connection with our acquisition of the exclusive rights, Dr Del Pin has agreed to provide consulting services to us to the extent we request until June 30, 2007. The services to be provided are limited to ten hours per month. We have agreed to reimburse Dr. Del Pin for any expenses incurred by her in rendering the services to us if the expenses are first approved by us.
Our agreement, as amended, with Dr. Del Pin provides that unless we sell a minimum of 250 DR SPEAK systems on or before June 30, 2007 with the minimum of 250 Systems to increase by 20% above the previous twelve month’s minimum for each twelve month period beginning July 1st of each year thereafter, Dr. Del Pin shall have the right to terminate our exclusive rights. If our exclusive rights are terminated because we fail to meet the minimum sales quotas, we may continue to sell the DR SPEAK systems on a non-exclusive basis.
Subsequent to our purchase, we paid $15,000 for the addition of a Simplified Billing Module or SBM to the DR SPEAK system. See “Our Agreements with GetAGeek, Inc.”below.
At the time of our agreement with Dr. Del Pin, her spouse was our president. Accordingly, our agreement with her cannot be considered as being negotiated at arms length. We believe, however, that the terms of the agreement are not less favorable to us than if it had been entered into with a non-affiliated third party.
16
Reasons for the Development of the DR SPEAK System
General
Dr. Del Pin has advised us that the administration of medical billing is one of the major costs of managing a medical practice. She has found that in her own practice the cost to process each claim averages between $7 to $10.
The cash flow of a medical practice can seriously be affected by reimbursement delays resulting from slow claim processing and claim rejections. Costs of maintaining a medical practice have increased significantly in recent years.
Medical practices that process claims either by paper or electronically generally have several expensive options available:
·
They can employ multiple staff members to process claim forms.
·
They can hire a freelance medical biller, often at a charge of a minimum of 2% of billings.
·
They can hire an outside medical billing service, often at a charge 5% or more of billings.
·
They can pay for medical record transcription often at a cost that exceeds $1 per page.
17
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 is the code designated as the national standard for reporting medical and dental services. All health and dental claims submitted through Medicaid, Medicare and private insurance plans must be compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.
The federal Department of Health and Human Services has regulations implementing the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 concerning standards for electronic transactions, security and electronic signatures and privacy of individually identifiable health information. These regulations, among other things, require companies to develop security standards for all health information that is used electronically. The proposed regulations impose significant obligations on companies that send or receive electronic health information. Because we will not process any medical information or have access to any medical information, we do not believe that we are subject to the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996. The DR SPEAK system has been designed to help its end users comply with these regulations, although any modifications or new regulations cannot be predicted. Because of the encryption of patient information within the DR SPEAK database, only users who properly authenticate themselves will be able to see patient details. Others who may attempt to view patient details directly in the database will not see any patient information due to the encryption. If end users permit unauthorized persons to view the database or improperly disseminate the database or certain portions of the database, they will have violated the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996.
According to Medicare, approximately 92% of physicians currently participate in Medicare. Since October 2003, Medicare has required medical practices with ten or more full-time employees to file claims electronically. We believe that a significant number of relatively small medical practices with a high rate of out-patient servicing do not utilize electronic processing of claims. Those practices who are Medicare providers will be the initial target market for sales of the DR SPEAK SYSTEM.
Human Error
According to Medicare, in 2004, Medicare issued remittance advices in connection with more than 26 million electronically filed claims and 43 million manually filed claims due to incorrect or missing information, which resulted in billions of dollars of late paid claims to doctors and hospitals. Human error is an inherent problem with current medical billing procedures, especially when a staff member other than the physician enters the claim information. The claim information may be based on handwritten notes or transcriptions and are prone to typographical errors. The chance of an error increases with the number of staff members and the processing time involved in handling the claim.
18
Out-Patient Billing and Information
When outside of their office, many physicians carry complex local and regional fee schedules for different third-party providers. Many must obtain a photocopy of the patient’s insurance card and chart for every visit. Some physicians utilize voice-activated recorders or other electronic devices to collect the patient information but find that they still must manually enter claim information in their offices. Dr. Del Pin has advised us that, if the DR SPEAK system functions as designed, it will significantly reduce the time spent by physicians who currently do not use electronic means to enter patient and billing information into their records.
Development and Testing of the DR SPEAK system
Dr. Del Pin sought a solution to the problems described above, many of which she encountered in her own surgical practice. In January 2002, Dr. Del Pin contracted with GetAGeek, Inc. to create an interactive voice recognition system and supporting database and structures for a telephone-based billing entry system that was later to become the DR SPEAK system. Dr. Del Pin paid GetAGeek $13,650 to develop, test and deploy the 2003 version of DR SPEAK system. GetAGeek first delivered a prototype of the DR SPEAK system to Dr. Del Pin in May 2003. In addition, Dr. Del Pin purchased software licenses at a cost of $2,595 which, at the time, were required to implement the 2003 version of the DR SPEAK system.
Dr. Del Pin began the initial testing of the DR SPEAK system in May, 2003. The test was less successful than hoped. Because of problems encountered during the testing, Dr. Del Pin to the best of her recollection believes only approximately 65% of claim information was entered. Among the problems which arose during the testing were:
·
certain words beginning with a vowel were not recognized
·
certain months were misidentified.
·
dates of birth were not correctly identified
·
numbers such as fifty and twenty were misidentified.
·
some insurance and medical names and terms were not correctly recognized.
·
if insurance information was not already in the official list, the DR SPEAK system did not recognize it.
·
after pushing the pound sign on a touchtone keypad, there was an unacceptable pause before the next entry was requested
·
some sounds were misidentified
·
some diagnosis items were miscoded
·
the voice player experienced technical problems
·
when the DR SPEAK SYSTEM disconnected the user for poor entry, it did not reset for the next call.
·
Data did not import perfectly to Pro 32 software
·
Difficulty with end user telephone and modem connections
19
Dr. Del Pin has advised us that subsequent to the initial testing, the above-described problems relating to the use of the DR SPEAK system have been corrected to her satisfaction.
From March 1, 2006 through June 30, 2006, Dr. Del Pin and three of her associates conducted beta testing of the system. A beta test is an external test of a pre-production product in order to determine if the product is functional in a breadth of field situations and to find those system faults that are more likely to appear in actual use than in more controlled in-house tests before sale to the general market.
During the course of the beta testing, the following were noted:
·
A section of the system has been designed to allow the caller to state responses to questions in a natural and continuous way. Entire paragraphs of spoken text are attempted to be recognized by the system. The system listens and transcribes as much as it can understand. Some spoken words and the resultant transcribed text appeared in incorrect fields on the computer screen. The error occurred approximately 10% of the time. The error has been corrected in the current version of the system.
·
The date of service in the Notes section of the billing has been shown incorrectly but is recorded to the database correctly. We do not believe that the error is critical, although we intend to correct it in the next release. The error occurred approximately 10% of the time. The error has been corrected in the current version of the system.
·
The system can take from 10-20 seconds before asking for the patient at the beginning of the call. The delay occurred only when the system was first started by the user and would continue for the first three calls. We have eliminated the delay in the current version of the system.
The beta testing resulted in the following suggested enhancements for consideration in development of the next release of the system:
·
Streamlining of the prompts to speed up the call. Allow user to be set to "Express" mode to shorten conversation time on the telephone. The suggested enhancements have been implemented in the current version of the system.
·
When establishing a referring physician related to the note, have the system look up the physician by name recognition. We have decided not to implement the suggested enhancement because we do not believe that it is necessary.
·
If there are dictations for patient notes, define a place within the Administrative Tool (now called Dr Speak Desktop) that shows that notes are to be transcribed. Currently, a user must go into each patient's record to see if there are transcriptions to be done. The suggested enhancement has been implemented in the current version of the system.
20
·
Because insurance-based reports on the system only take into account primary insurance, a means should be available for reporting on secondary insurance. We have decided not to implement this suggested enhancement because we do not believe that it is necessary.
·
A wider screen for pop-up selection of Procedure and Diagnosis lookups. The suggested enhancement has been implemented in the current version of the system.
·
Implementation of a method for tracking the last time a statement was printed for a patient or claim or the last time the patient/claim was exported to aid the user in determining if and when patients and insurance companies were last billed for a claim or claims. The suggested enhancement has been implemented in the current version of the system.
·
Conversion of reports for multiple providers. The suggested enhancement has been implemented in the current version of the system.
We, in conjunction with Dr. Del Pin, intend to conduct additional beta testing as long as the system is being developed with new or corrective functionality. Because we expect the system to continue to be enhanced and upgraded for at least several years, we intend to test each future version of the system to ensure that new functionality works as intended and that existing functionality and overall system integrity are maintained. Users of the system that may agree to beta test the new or enhanced product will not be compensated other than to the extent they receive the enhanced functionality at no cost. We believe that this practice is generally standard in the software industry.
We believe that the DR SPEAK system is now ready for sale. Dr. Del Pin has advised us that she concurs with our belief.
Because the DR SPEAK system has not been manufactured in commercial quantities or used in any meaningful degree by persons other than Dr. Del Pin and her associates, we cannot assure you that the DR SPEAK system will function as designed or will attain any degree of commercial acceptance.
We have been advised by Dr. Del Pin that she has expended approximately $20,000 in connection with the development of the DR SPEAK system, including professional fees paid or payable to her intellectual property counsel. Dr. Del Pin has further advised us that she expended approximately $13,000 in connection with one trade show at which the DR SPEAK system was exhibited.
Operation of the DR SPEAK System
DR SPEAK users can directly install the software onto their computers in the same manner as many other readily available software programs are installed. Users insert the DR SPEAK disk in their CD drive and the program will load within a few minutes. When the computer is on and the interactive voice recognition system is activated, users may access the computer program by telephone. DR SPEAK does not automatically integrate with existing databases or medical practice programs. Users must either export patient and claim data from their existing program or enter it manually. For electronic claim submission, the Medicare provider user should be licensed independently to utilize the Pro 32 software.
21
The DR SPEAK system includes the DR SPEAK Desktop application which allows the user to enter and edit data on the DR SPEAK system including patient and insurance records, system parameters, and most importantly, to review, print or export claim data to PC-ACE Pro 32 medical claims for electronic submission to payers.
The voice-recognition training component of the DR SPEAK system is an independent system which is not proprietary to the DR SPEAK system. Microsoft provides a training mini-application as part of the speech engine installed on the Windows XP operating system. By asking the user to read a few pages of selected literature, it extracts recognition settings for the system. The voice training generally requires about 20 minutes to complete. Users can return to the speech engine at any time for additional voice recognition training for more effective recognition .
The appropriate local and regional Medicare fee schedule for each user can be entered by the user. Fee schedules for most private insurance plans are based upon a percentage of the Medicare fee schedule. DR SPEAK allows users to enter the private insurance company fee schedules.
After the system is properly installed in the user’s computer with the included software, the requisite information is entered using the DR SPEAK Desktop application. After completing the voice training program, the system is ready for use by the user.
When the user contacts the DR SPEAK system by telephone, the system will prompt the user for proper user identification and then basic patient demographics. Generally, the user will then identify the date of service, the place of service and procedure and or diagnosis information. The system will save all of the information to its database. DR SPEAK allows up to six procedure codes to be billed on one claim. The user can use keywords to expedite the diagnosis and procedure code fields. DR SPEAK offers an easy-to-use voice-lookup of both diagnosis and procedure codes. DR SPEAK additionally links the procedures to the appropriate local and regional fee schedules to correctly bill.
The following is an illustrative example of the interactive nature of the DR SPEAK system:
DR SPEAK Says | User’s Response | Or Touch Tone | |
User name please: | Doctor Smith | 8888 | |
Pass code: | One two three four | 1234 | |
It’s good to hear from you again Doctor Smith. | |||
What is the patient’s 9 digit ID or full name | Doe John | 123 456 789 |
22
The selected patient is Doe John. Is that correct? | Yes | 1 | |
Patient’s date of birth: | May twenty-eighth, nineteen seventy eight | 05 28 1978 | |
For patient notes, press 1. To enter a claim press 2. To select another patient, press 3. | Two | 2 | |
What was the date of service? | Yesterday | ||
September 22, 2005 , is that correct? | Yes | 1 | |
Place of service? (Prompts for user-entered names of places) | Clifton Memorial | 11 | |
Clifton Memorial, is that correct? | Yes | 1 | |
Using key words, we will now determine the procedure. Say code, if you know the procedure code number. | |||
Procedure key word please. | Code | ||
What is the procedure number? | Three three five one zero | 33510 | |
For procedure 33510 Coronary artery bypass, vein only; single coronary venous graft say yes, to hear the next match say no. | Yes | 1 | |
We’ll now get some diagnosis key words. Say, code, if you know the diagnosis number. | |||
Diagnosis key word please. | Heart | ||
Heart, is that correct? | Yes | ||
Diagnosis key word please. | Pulmonary | ||
Pulmonary, is that correct? | Yes | ||
For diagnosis 415, Acute pulmonary heart disease, say yes, to hear the next match say no. | Yes | ||
Great. | |||
Would you like to enter a secondary diagnosis? | No | ||
Another procedure? | No | ||
Would you like to select another patient? | No |
Thank you for calling. |
23
During the entry of the diagnosis, the DR SPEAK system may not understand one or more of the keywords. The user could answer “no”if the keyword was recognized incorrectly to try it again. DR SPEAK takes each accepted keyword and searches the database of diagnosis or procedure descriptions and attempts to find matches. If the number of matches is greater than five, the DR SPEAK system will ask for another keyword to find an exact match of less than five matches.
If the user had answered “no”to the diagnosis 415 as shown above, DR SPEAK would have gone on to the next diagnosis which also matched the key words. If DR SPEAK cannot locate a match after three attempts, it will record the user’s diagnosis description as an audio file on the computer.
This audio file is then available for playback during the claim review process. When using the DR SPEAK Desktop application to review a claim, any fields on the form where audio was recorded will appear green. The user can then click on that field to hear what was recorded. As an example, when entering the name of a new patient over the telephone, the DR SPEAK system will not understand the name of the patient and will record certain new patient information for later transcribing. New patients can be entered into the system over the telephone or by using the DR SPEAK Desktop application.
We believe that the DR SPEAK system when coupled with Medicare’s Pro 32 software provides a high level of error prevention by seeking to eliminate the primary causes of human error in claims processing through the following measures:
·
Critical responses are telephonically repeated to the user after each step.
·
A hard copy of the responses can be printed for the user to verify claim information.
·
The error prevention already designed into the DR SPEAK Desktop application and Medicare’s Pro 32 software can locate inconsistencies missed during the first two error prevention opportunities.
Electronic Submission Of Claims
Once the data regarding the patient is submitted to the DR SPEAK system, the data fields fill with the appropriate information such as the patient’s name and address, which is encrypted, and health insurance information. In order to submit claims electronically, each claim must be reviewed by the administrator or physician and then checked off as completed. The claim can then be sent to the system’s export bin or printed to be submitted through regular mail.
If the export icon is clicked, a drop down box appears containing the names of all the patients whose information has been sent to the export bin. The user can then click on the patients’ claims to be exported and then run the import process within the Pro 32 application. If there are any errors or adjustments, the Pro 32 software will highlight the fields. Once the claim is “clean,” it is saved for electronic dispatch. When so directed by the user, each claim is electronically sent to the appropriate health insurance company and to Medicare through the Pro 32 software.

Our Agreements with GetAGeek, Inc.
We have entered into an agreement with GetAGeek pursuant to which GetAGeek, as manufacturer, will provide duplication services of our software for distribution to our prospective customers. We will provide blank pre-printed CD ROMS to GetAGeek in connection with the duplication service. GetAGeek will ship printed software documentation as provided by us to be included with a CD ROM enclosed in a binder which will also be provided by us.
GetAGeek will also provide technical support to each of our customers for a period of thirty days after the customer has installed the software. GetAGeek has agreed to provide one dedicated technical support representative for every twenty DR SPEAK systems we sell that subscribe to a service contract beyond the thirty days. We have not yet determined the terms or the price of any service contracts. The technical support will be conducted verbally over the telephone.
We have agreed to pay GetAGeek for its services at the rate of $140 for each DR SPEAK system we sell. Although GetAGeek will not bill us for any additional costs without our prior written approval, unforeseen difficulties, on-site visits, technological feasibility, and third party involvement can and may increase our overall costs.
In September 2005, we entered into an agreement with GetAGeek to add a Simplified Billing Module or SBM to the DR SPEAK system for which we paid $15,000. Because most of our prospective customers have bookkeeping programs which they utilize, the SBM was designed to provide the following limited bookkeeping functions:
·
Post payments to the system including:
o
patient name and account number;
o
payment type (credit card, check or cash);
o
process of payment (regular or insurance payment);
o
check number;
o
amount paid; and
o
attribute to particular bill(s)
·
Print patient statements with basic letterhead automatically generated.
·
Print patient detail in a statement form.
25
·
Print Date of Service bills and claims on pre-printed CMS-1500 forms.
·
Report Generation including:
o
Outstanding accounts aged up to 120 days from the initial date of the claim;
o
Billing for date range – amount of billing by date range;
o
Account report - all billing history for specific patient account(s); and
o
Insurance Carrier - amount(s) submitted, collected by month and date range.
·
Account Maintenance – allows for specific modification of patient balance and adjustments.
·
Posting adjustments to a bill and the reason for the adjustment.
At the times of our agreements with GetAGeek it was not an affiliate of ours or of any of our affiliates. In August 2006, the president of GetAGeek became our president and one of our directors.
Intellectual Property
On June 10, 2004, Dr. Del Pin filed a patent application for the DR SPEAK system with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In March 2006, the United States Patent and Trademark Office notified Dr. Del Pin that her application will receive an Office action in approximately 12 months. The claims made in the patent application do not encompass all aspects of the system. For example, a portion of the interactive voice recognition component of the system is part of Microsoft’s Windows XP operating system.
There can be no assurance that any patent will be issued, or if issued, that it will include any meaningful claims. Furthermore, the validity of issued patents is frequently challenged by others. One or more patent applications may have been filed by others previous to Dr. Del Pin’s filing which encompass the same or similar claims. If Dr. Del Pin does not receive a patent which provides adequate protection, we may not be able to manufacture our proposed products in our intended manner.
If a patent is issued, Dr. Del Pin may be unable to protect the patent or to challenge others who may infringe upon a patent. Because many holders of patents of software systems have substantially greater resources than either we or Dr. Del Pin possess and patent litigation is very expensive, neither we nor Dr. Del Pin may have the resources necessary to challenge successfully the validity of patents held by others or withstand claims of infringement or challenges to any patent she may obtain. Even if we are able to fund the litigation and prevail, the cost and management distraction of litigation could have a materially adverse effect on us.
26
Because software systems developed by others are covered by a large number of patents and patent applications, infringement actions may be instituted against us if we use or are suspected of using technology, processes or other subject matter that is claimed under patents of others. An adverse outcome in any future patent dispute could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties, require disputed rights to be licensed or require us to cease using the infringed technology.
In April 2006, the United States Trademark Office issued a trademark registration for Dr. Del Pin’s trademark “DR SPEAK.”
If trade secrets and other means of protection upon which we or Dr. Del Pin may rely do not adequately protect us, the intellectual property may become available to others. Although we may rely on trade secrets, copyright law, employee and third-party nondisclosure agreements and other protective measures to protect some of our intellectual property, these measures may not provide meaningful protection to us.
Marketing
Our initial target market is the approximately 200,000 physicians in practices with eight or fewer practitioners with a high rate of out-patient servicing. We consider surgeons, cardiologists, radiologists and anesthesiologists in small practices as our optimal target market.
We intend to market the DR SPEAK system to potential customers through multiple strategies. Our primary strategies will be advertising in trade journals and similar publications, attendance at trade shows, telemarketing, direct mail campaigns, and door-to-door canvassing. In connection with our marketing efforts, we intend to focus on establishing the DR SPEAKbrand name.
We anticipate that our initial marketing activities will include:
·
Identification of appropriate trade publications that reach U.S. medical practices with eight practitioners or less as well as medical practices who provide out-patient care as fifteen percent or more of their patient visitations;
·
Identification of medical editors at daily newspapers in the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut;
·
Write and distribute a company launch and new technology press release to the identified trade and daily newspapers editors. The release will introduce us as a new software sales company and detail the availability of the DR SPEAK system;
·
Develop supporting press materials including a company profile, product fact sheet and management biographies that can be distributed to media who request additional information as well as handed out at industry trade shows at which we will be exhibiting;
·
Conduct media follow up to secure product placements; and
·
Attend related medical conferences and trade shows
27
We intend to pursue strategic relationships with potential distributors of the DR SPEAK system. Other than as described under the caption “Management’s Plan of Operation,” we have not engaged in any discussions with potential distributors of the DR SPEAK system and we cannot assure you that we will be able to enter into any strategic relationships.
We realize that many, if not all, of our potential customers will not consider purchasing the DR SPEAK system at the time we reach them, but we intend to establish our brand names and software features so that we are on their minds when they begin to look for a system such as DR SPEAK.
We also intend to rely upon potential leads, if any, from customer referrals. We believe that customer referrals can be a significant source of sales of the DR SPEAK system, especially within the medical professional community. Additionally, we may receive leads from our Internet website.
If sufficient funds become available to us, we intend to hire personnel to sell the DR SPEAK system to physicians through personal solicitation at their offices.
As of December 5, 2006, Daniel Elsbree, Northcoast Biomedical, Inc. and Richard Schreiber had made 51, 10 and 5 sales calls, respectively and 8, 4 and 5 demonstrations of the system, respectively, none of which resulted in any sales of the DR SPEAK system. The offering price of the system was $1,995.
Mr. Elsbree has advised us that after he demonstrated the system, he found that most of the potential users were impressed with the system’s speed and uniqueness. He also found that the prospects were concerned that there is not an easy way to migrate their current billing system data to the DR SPEAK system. He also reported that the vast majority of the prospects he spoke with currently use the Lytec medical billing software, which is a product of an unaffiliated company. We are presently exploring whether billing system data entered on the Lytec system can be expeditiously exported to the DR SPEAK system. We cannot assure you that we will be successful.
Northcoast Biomedical, Inc. has advised us that it has found that it is difficult to get physicians to change their billing systems even if they are not happy with what they have.
Mr. Schreiber reported that initially the prospects were unclear as to the functionality and overall process and benefit of the DR SPEAK system, although, once explained to them, they became interested in further details. He also reported that the prospects were most interested in the efficiency of the overall process of the system. Mr. Schreiber demonstrated the system to a large nursing organization which initially found that the system was not suitable for it. After discussing the customizable features of the system, the nursing organization appeared to become more interested in the system with respect to streamlining its billing process. The organization told Mr. Schreiber that it is in the process of providing additional requirements for a DR SPEAK system that would meet its “wish list.”
28
Our initial direct marketing efforts will consist of advertisements and press releases in medical trade journals and attendance at trade shows. Advertisements of the type that we intend to use in the trade journals which we select range in cost from approximately $549 to $7550 per issue. We believe that our cost for exhibiting the DR SPEAK system at a typical trade show will be approximately $5,000 to $20,000. Any additional marketing efforts that we undertake will be dependent upon the amount of funds, if any, available to us for that purpose.
Competition
We are aware of more than 100 companies offering electronic medical billing software. Most do not offer a voice activated feature and also require manual data entry of the claim information that can take up to forty-five minutes per claim to process. There are a small number of voice-activated medical billing programs but they either simply offer a microphone at a computer or a voice activated tape recorder that still has to be transcribed. We do not believe that any of them offers the ease of operation as does the DR SPEAK system and most importantly, the ability to submit claim information over the telephone.
If we are successful in marketing the DR SPEAK system, we expect to encounter intense competition from others.

Executive Compensation
The following table discloses all plan and non-plan compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to the following for all services rendered in all capacities to us: all individuals serving as our chief executive officer (CEO) or acting in a similar capacity during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2005 and November 30, 2006, regardless of compensation level (the “Named Executive Officers”). None of our other executive officers who were serving as executive officers at November 30, 2006 had a total annual salary and bonus in excess of $100,000. There were no individuals for whom disclosure would have been provided pursuant to this paragraph but for the fact that the individual was not serving as an executive officer of us on November 30, 2006 and whose total annual salary and bonus, as so determined, was in excess of $100,000:
Name and Principal Position | Fiscal Year | Compensation |
Christopher LaRose – President and CEO | 2006 | $33,334 |
Gary Cella – President and CEO | 2006 | -0- |
Gary Cella – President and CEO | 2005 | $45 |
The above table reflects the issuance by us in April 2005 of 4,500,000 shares to Gary Cella for nominal organizational services rendered to us. The amount in the table is the aggregate par value of the shares. At the time of the issuance we had no assets or operations. If the shares were to be valued at $.10 per share, which is the price per share which was our offering price for 100,000 shares that we sold more than six months after the issuance of the shares to Mr. Cella, Mr. Cella’s shares would have had a value of $450,000. See “Certain Transactions.” Gary Cella served as our president without any cash compensation from April 2005 until August 2006.
No perquisites and other personal benefits, securities or property were paid or given by us to Gary Cella during the period set forth in the table.
In August 2006, we entered into a one year employment agreement with Christopher LaRose pursuant to which Mr. LaRose agreed to serve as our president and CEO. We agreed to pay Mr. LaRose through the issuance to him of 1,000,008 shares of our common stock at the rate of 83,334 shares per month. We have further agreed that not later than January 31, 2007, our Board of Directors will review the terms of the employment agreement to determine whether Mr. LaRose shall also be entitled to receive cash compensation. The determination is to be based primarily upon Mr. LaRose’s performance and our then financial condition and prospects. In lieu of the compensation that Mr. LaRose is otherwise entitled to receive, he may elect to be compensated in cash on a weekly basis at the highest minimum wage which he would be entitled to receive under applicable federal and state law. As of the date of this prospectus, Mr. LaRose had not made that election. The above ta ble reflects the issuance by us of an aggregate of 333,336 shares to Mr. LaRose for services rendered to us during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2006. The shares were valued at $.10 per share. Mr. LaRose has earned 500,004 shares through January 2007 which have an aggregate value of $50,000 based upon $.10 per share.
31
We have issued 50,000 shares to Lee Hanover for acting as an executive officer. The fair value of the shares was nominal as we had no assets or operations at the time of the issuance. The compensation of our executive officers will be determined by our Board of Directors.
Other than as described above, we have no other agreements relating to compensation with our executive officers.
We have issued shares to three of our directors for serving in such capacity. The fair value of the shares was nominal as we had no assets or operations at the time of the issuance. See “Certain Transactions.” We have no other arrangements to compensate our directors in such capacity.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
In April 2005, we issued 4,500,000 shares of common stock each to Gary Cella and Jonathan B.

Subsequent to the issuance, (a) Mr. Cella served as our president without any cash compensation from April 2005 until August 2006, and (b) Reisman & Associates, P.A., an affiliate of Mr. Reisman, agreed to assist us in preparing the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part without any cash compensation. If the shares were to be valued at $.10 per share, which was our offering price for 100,000 shares that we sold more than six months after the issuance of the shares to Messrs.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
Our authorized capital stock consists of 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $.00001 par value.
The holders of outstanding shares of our common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available therefor at such times and in such amounts, if any, as our Board of Directors from time to time may determine. Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders which means that the holders of a majority of the shares voted can elect all of the directors then standing for election. Holders of the common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights and the common stock is not subject to conversion or redemption.
Our directors and executive officers beneficially own approximately 40% of our outstanding shares.

In addition, their controlling influence could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company.
34
Control-Share Acquisitions
We may become subject to the control-share acquisition provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act. Those provisions could have the effect of discouraging offers to acquire us and of increasing the difficulty of consummating any such offer. The provisions may also discourage bids for our common stock at a premium over the market price.
Transferagent
The transfer agent for our common stock is Florida Atlantic Stock Transfer, Inc., 7130 Nob Hill Road, Tamarac, Florida 33321.
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
Prior to this offering, there has not been any public market for our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices, if any, of our common stock and could impair our future ability to raise capital through the sale of equity securities. All shares sold in the offering made by this prospectus are eligible for public sale.
In general, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933 any person who owns shares that were acquired from us at least one year prior to the proposed sale may publicly sell, within any three-month period beginning 90 days after the date of this prospectus, a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of:

Shares may generally be sold by non-affiliates without restriction that were acquired from us at least two years prior to the proposed sale. Any shares purchased by our affiliates in this offering and subsequently publicly sold by those affiliates will not be subject to the one year holding period. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information about us.

Mr. Schreiber received a fee of 123,000 shares and $750 in connection with our private placement of 1 million shares at $.10 per share which concluded in November 2005. Ms. Stewart received a fee of 177,000 shares and $9,250 in connection with the private placement. The aggregate fees paid were negotiated on our behalf by Gary Cella and the respective amounts paid to Mr. Schreiber and Ms. Stewart were determined by them. We are not aware of the basis on which they made their determination. The aggregate fees received by Mr. Schreiber and Ms. Stewart represented 10% of the aggregate sales price of the 1,000,000 shares and an amount of shares representing 30% of the shares sold. We believed that those fees were appropriate in order for us to complete the private placement.
In addition, Ms. Stewart received a fee of $5,000 and 128,000 shares from Gary Cella and Jonathan Reisman in connection with 500,000 shares sold by them to certain of the selling stockholders at $.10 per share. Each of the purchasers was located by Ms. Stewart The fee was negotiated by Gary Cella. Ms. Stewart also purchased additional shares from Messrs. Cella and Reisman at $.10 per share. Messrs. Cella and Reisman relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(1) of the Securities Act of 1933. Each of the purchasers represented that he or she was aware that because the shares were not registered under that Act, they cannot be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of in the absence of registration or the availability of an exemption from registration. Each of the purchasers further represented that the shares were not offered by means of: (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication pub lished in any newspaper, magazine or similar medium, or broadcast over television or radio, (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees had been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising, or (iii) any other form of general solicitation or advertising. Each stock certificate evidencing the shares sold by Messrs, Cella and Reisman was imprinted with a legend describing the restrictive nature of the shares and our transfer agent has noted the restriction on its records.
Neither Mr. Schreiber nor Ms. Stewart has registered as a broker or dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We have not made an analysis as to whether either of them falls within the definition of those terms in that Act and do not have sufficient information to do so. In the event that they are a broker or dealer as those terms are defined in that Act, they will each be an underwriter as that term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933 with respect to all shares sold by them which have been registered in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part.
Todd Brook owns 75% of Envisionit Media, Inc. and is its president. See “Management’s Plan of Operation.”
In September 2006, we issued a six month option to Mr. Schreiber for the purchase of up to 500,000 shares of our common stock at $.09 per share. See “Management’s Plan of Operation.
37
In September 2006, we entered into an Independent Sales RepresentativeAgreement with Daniel Elsbree. See. “Management’s Plan of Operation.”
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
To the extent that the selling stockholders sell their shares, they will initially sell them at a price of $.65 per share. Subsequent to the time, if any, that our shares are quoted for trading, the selling stockholders may sell their shares in one or more transactions on the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, or through a combination of those methods of distribution, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. Our former president was advised by Patricia Stewart that she and certain other selling stockholders intended to initially offer their shares for public sale at $.65 per share. The other selling stockholders subsequently advised us that they also intended to initially offer their shares for public sale at $.65 per share. We are not aware of the factors utilized by the selling stockholders in determining the price of $.65 per share. We do not believe that that price is based upon any recognized criter ia of value.
Alternatively, the selling stockholders may, from time to time, offer the shares through underwriters, dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of underwriting discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling stockholders for whom they may act as agent.
In order for our shares to be quoted on the Over-the Counter Bulletin Board, an application must be made with the Over-the Counter Bulletin Board by a market-maker. We have no arrangements with any market-maker and there can be no assurance that any market-maker will submit the application. In addition, we cannot assure you that even if an application is submitted, that the Over-the Counter Bulletin Board will accept the application. If the application is submitted and subsequently accepted, we cannot predict the period of time that it will take. The Over-the Counter Bulletin Board can reject an application in its sole discretion. If our shares do not become quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board, we intend to apply for a listing on the “Pink Sheets.”
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, dealers or agents that participate in the distribution of common stock may be deemed to be underwriters, and any commissions or concessions received by any such underwriters, dealers or agents may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act of 1933.We will not receive any proceeds from shares sold by the selling stockholders.
Our shares are subject to the “penny stock rules” adopted pursuant to Section 15(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). Such rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade "penny stock" to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Penny stocks sold in violation of the applicable rules may entitle the buyer of the stock to rescind the sale and receive a full refund from the broker.
38
Many brokers have decided not to trade “penny stock” because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market-makers in such securities is limited. In the event that our shares remain subject to the “penny stock rules” for any significant period, there may develop an adverse impact on the market, if any, for our shares. Because our shares are subject to the “penny stock rules,” investors will find it more difficult to dispose of them and the liquidity of the shares, if any, may be significantly diminished. Further, for companies whose securities are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board or the “pink Sheets,” it is more difficult: (i) to obtain accurate quotations, (ii) to obtain coverage for significant news events because major wire services, such as the Dow Jones News Service, generally do not publish press releases about su ch companies, and (iii) to obtain needed capital.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
There are no pending or threatened legal proceedings to which we are a party or of which any of our property is the subject or, to our knowledge, any proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.
INDEMNIFICATION
We have agreed to indemnify our executive officers and directors to the fullest extent permitted by the Florida Business Corporation Act. The Act permits us to indemnify any person who is, or is threatened to be made, a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by us or in our right) by reason of the fact that the person is or was an officer or director or is or was serving at our request as an officer or director. The indemnity may include expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding, provided that he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to our best interests, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable c ause to believe his conduct was unlawful. We may indemnify officers and directors in an action by us or in our right under the same conditions, except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if the officer or director is adjudged to be liable to us. Where an officer or director is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any action referred to above, we must indemnify him against the expenses which he actually and reasonably incurred. The indemnification provisions of the Florida Business Corporation Act are not exclusive of any other rights to which an officer or director may be entitled under our bylaws, by agreement, vote, or otherwise. Insofar as indemnification arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the S ecurities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Physicians Remote Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiary
Cos Cob, CT 06807
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Physicians Remote Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiary (a Development Stage Enterprise) as of November 30, 2005 (restated) and the related consolidated statements of operations and stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the period April 5, 2005 (inception) to November 30, 2005 (restated). These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits 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 consolidated 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 m ade by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Physicians Remote Solutions, Inc. and Subsidiary (a Development Stage Enterprise) as of November 30, 2005 (restated), and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the period April 5, 2005 (inception) to November 30, 2005 (restated) in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note C of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is newly incorporated and to date has had no operating activities. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans, in regard to subsequent operating activities, are also described in Note C. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTE A– ORGANIZATION
Physicians Remote Solutions, Inc. (the Company), a development stage enterprise, was organized under the laws of Florida corporation on April 5, 2005. The accompanying financial statements also include the accounts of VoxTech Products, Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiary. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The Company has the exclusive rights to manufacture and sell a telephone based voice activated billing and records entry system known as DR. SPEAK, designed for use by physicians.
To date, the Company has had no revenues. Expenses incurred to date have been for administration and testing and development of DR. SPEAK. The Company raised $68,700, net of related legal and finders fees, as part of a Private Placement. The Company plans to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form SB-2.
Risks and Uncertainties
Factors that could affect the Company’s future operating results and cause future results to vary materially from expectations include, but are not limited to, inability to complete the development and marketing of DR. SPEAK, inability to control expenses, industry competition, changes in its relationship with related parties providing operating services to the Company and uncertain economic conditions. Negative developments in these or other risk factors could have a material adverse affect on the Company’s future financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Control by Principal Stockholders
The principal stockholders owned 7,642,000, approximately 70%, of the outstanding shares of the Company at August 31, 2006. Accordingly, the stockholders have the ability to control the approval of most corporate actions including increasing the authorized capital stock of the Company and the dissolution, merger, or sale of the Company’s assets.
NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly-liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. There are no cash equivalents at November 30, 2005 or August 31, 2006.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The Company uses financial instruments in the normal course of business. The carrying values of cash equivalents, intangible assets, and receivable from shareholder approximate their fair value.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Income Taxes
The Company follows Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (SFAS No. 109). Under this method, the Company recognizes a deferred tax liability or asset for temporary differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and the related amount reported on the financial statements. The principal types of differences, which are measured at the current tax rates, are net operating loss carry forwards. SFAS No. 109 requires the establishment of a valuation allowance to reflect the likelihood of realization of deferred tax assets.
Income tax provisions require the use of management judgments, which are subject to challenge by various taxing authorities. Significant estimates used in accounting for income taxes relate to determination of taxable income and the determination of temporary differences between book and tax bases. No income tax provision has been made by the Company due to its operating losses for the period.
Net Loss Per Common Share
The Company computes per share amounts in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 128, “Earnings per Share”. SFAS No. 128 requires presentation of basic and diluted EPS. Basic EPS is computed by dividing the income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common stock equivalents outstanding during the period.
Stock-Based Compensation
SFAS No. 123(R), which is a revision of the SFAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, prescribes accounting and reporting standards for all stock-based compensation plans, including employee stock options, restricted stock, employee stock purchase plans and stock appreciation rights. SFAS No. 123R requires employee compensation expense to be recorded using the fair value method. The Company does not presently have any stock based compensation plans.
The Company accounts for stock issued for services using the fair value method. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 96-18, the measurement date of shares issued for services is the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred.
Intangible Asset
Licensing Rights are amortized over their estimated useful life which is the term of the licensing agreement.
Computer and Computer Equipment
Computer and computer equipment are depreciated over their estimated useful life of five years.

NOTE B – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeded the fair value of the assets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, a Replacement of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3.” SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements for changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of the change. SFAS 154 also requires that retrospective application of a change in accounting principle be limited to the direct effects of the change. Indirect effects of a change in accounting principle should be recognized in the period of the accounting change. SFAS 154 also requires that a change in depreciation, amortization, or depletion method for long-lived, non-financial assets be accounted for as a change in accounting estimate effected 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 Company does not believe the adoption of SFAS 154 will have a significant effect on its future consolidated financial statements.
In November 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, “Exchanges of Non-monetary Assets—An Amendment of APB No. 29.” The provisions of this statement are effective for non-monetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. This statement eliminates the exception to fair value for exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchange transactions that do not have commercial substance—that is, transactions that are not expected to result in significant changes in the cash flows of the reporting entity. The adoption of SFAS 153 did not have a significant effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
NOTE C – GOING CONCERN
As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative net operating losses of $65,911 since inception. Management’s plans include the raising of capital through the equity markets to fund future operations and the generating of revenues through operations. Failure to raise adequate capital and generate adequate sales revenues could result in the Company having to curtail or cease operations. Additionally, even if the Company does raise sufficient capital to support its operating expenses and generate adequate revenues, there can be no assurances that the revenue will be sufficient to enable it to develop business to a level where it will generate profits and cash flows from operations. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. However, the accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the r ealization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recovery of the recorded assets or the classification of the liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE D – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The DR. SPEAK system was acquired from the spouse of the former President of the Company pursuant to an Asset and Rights Purchase Agreement. The Company issued 200,000 shares of its common stock and further agreed to pay a royalty of $200 for each DR SPEAK System made by or on behalf of the Company. Royalty payments will become due and payable thirty days subsequent to the end of the calendar quarter in which the proceeds of the respective sales are collected by the Company or on its behalf. The acquired intangible rights are recorded at $20,000 which is the value of the shares issued and will be amortized over the term of the agreement (22 months) beginning December 1, 2005. Estimated amortization expense is $10,908 for the year ended November 30, 2006 and $9,092 for the year ended November 30, 2007. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets”, the royalty agreement and intangible rights will be tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company recognized $8,182 in amortization expense in the nine months ended August 31, 2006 relating to DR. SPEAK.
Subsequent to entering the royalty agreement, the Company signed an agreement for development of software for DR. SPEAK. The Company agreed to pay $15,000 for enhancement of this software. The Company incurred $7,500 in the period ended November 30, 2005 and $7,500 in the nine months ended August 31, 2006. These amounts are reflected in the Statement of Operations as Research and Development. The Company also agreed to pay a royalty of $140 to the software developer for each DR. SPEAK sold.
The spouse of the former President of the Company has agreed to provide consulting services to the Company as the Company requests until September 30, 2006. The services to be provided are limited to ten hours per month. The Company has agreed to reimburse the spouse of the former President for any expenses incurred in rendering these services provided such expenses are first approved by the Company.
Unless the Company sells a minimum of 250 DR SPEAK systems on or before September 15, 2006, including a minimum of 150 DR SPEAK systems on or before March 15, 2006, with the minimum of 250 Systems to increase by 20% above the previous twelve month’s minimum for each twelve month period beginning September 16th of each year thereafter, the spouse of the former President shall have the right to terminate the Company’s exclusive rights. If the Company’s exclusive rights are terminated because the Company fails to meet the minimum sales quotas, the Company may continue to sell the DR SPEAK systems on a non-exclusive basis.
In January 2006, the Company and the spouse of the Company’s former President amended the Asset and Rights Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, unless the Company sells a minimum of 250 DR SPEAK systems on or before June 30, 2007 with the minimum of 250 Systems to increase by 20% above the previous twelve month’s minimum for each twelve month period beginning July 1st of each year thereafter, the spouse of the former President shall have the right to terminate the Company’s exclusive rights. If the
exclusive rights are terminated because the Company fails to meet the minimum sales quotas, the Company may continue to sell the DR SPEAK systems on a non-exclusive basis. In addition, the period during which such spouse will provide consulting services to the Company will terminate on June 30, 2007.
The Payable to Shareholder at November 30, 2005 was an amount due to a principal shareholder upon payment of the Subscription Receivable. Subsequent to November 30, 2005, the subscription receivable was received and the shareholder was paid.

NOTE D – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED)
Legal fees of $10,000 in connection with the Private Placement were paid to an affiliate of a shareholder of the Company and recorded as a reduction of Additional paid-in-capital.
During the nine months ended August 31, 2006, certain proceeds from the sale of common stock made by shareholders were deposited in the Company’s bank account. All amounts have been disbursed and the Company did not incur any expenses related to these transactions.
NOTE E – STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On April 6, 2005, the Company issued 9,000,000 shares of common stock to the founders of the Company at par. Shortly thereafter, the Company issued an aggregate of 275,000 shares of common stock to six officers and directors of the Company at par. The fair value of the shares issued to the founders and directors was nominal as the Company had no assets or operations at the time of their issuance. These shares were thus recorded at their par value and reflected as Stock Based Compensation in the Statement of Operations. On September 10, 2005, the Company entered into an agreement with the spouse of the Company’s former President to acquire the exclusive marketing rights of DR. SPEAK in exchange for 200,000 shares of common stock valued at $0.10 per share plus royalties. The fair value of the shares issued to the spouse of the Company’s former President was determined to be $0.10 per share as it corresponded to the p rice of the common stock issued in a private placement shortly thereafter. In October and November of 2005, the Company issued 980,000 shares and accepted a subscription for an additional 20,000 shares of common stock at $0.10 per share in a private placement. Expenses of $21,800 consisting primarily of legal and cash finders fees were recorded as a reduction of additional paid-in-capital. In connection with the private placement, the Company issued 300,000 shares at $0.10 per share in additional finders fees. All shares issued were fully vested at their time of issuance and had no applicable terms.

NOTE H – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In August 2006, the Company entered into a one year employment agreement with an individual to serve as the Company’s new President and CEO. The new President and CEO is also the President of Get-a-Geek, Inc., which developed the software for DR. SPEAK and is entitled to royalties of $140 for each unit of DR. SPEAK sold by the Company (See Note D). The Company will pay the new President and CEO by the issuance of 1,000,008 shares of common stock at the rate of 83,334 shares per month. The Company will recognize these shares as stock based compensation over the life of the employment contract. As of August 31, 2006, 83,334 shares had been issued under the employment contract. These shares were valued at $0.10 per share. Accordingly, stock based compensation of $8,333 was recognized in the nine months ended August 31, 2006.
The Company has further agreed that, not later than January 31, 2007, the Company’s Board of Directors will review the terms of the employment agreement to determine whether the President and CEO shall also be entitled to receive cash compensation. The determination is to be based primarily upon the performance of the President and CEO and the Company’s financial condition and prospects. In lieu of the compensation that the President and CEO is otherwise entitled to receive, he may elect to be compensated in cash on a weekly basis at the highest minimum wage which he would be entitled to receive under applicable federal and state law. The President and CEO has not made this election.
On September 5, 2006, the Company entered into an independent sales representation agreement with an individual which requires the Company to pay the individual an amount representing 20% of the sales price of the units sold less any returns and allowances. The Company also issued this individual 50,000 shares of its common stock as compensation. The shares were valued at $0.10 per share. Accordingly, stock based compensation of $5,000 was recorded subsequent to August 31, 2006.
In September of 2006, the Company entered into an agreement with a vendor to develop the Company’s website. The Company paid $2,500 and is obligated to issue 5,000 shares of its common stock upon completion of the website.
The Company has issued a six month option to an individual which allows the individual to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.09 per share. The fair value of option granted was determined to be $16,000, which was recorded as stock based compensation subsequent to August 31, 2006. The fair value of the option was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model based on the weighted average assumptions of:
