Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Form 10-KSB Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE B - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The FASB issued a revision of SFAS 123 (“SFAS 123(R)”) that requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the statement of operations. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be remeasured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS 123 and is effective January 1, 2007. In 2008, the Company used the black-scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of the options granted under the company’s incentive plan.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Shares". Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, (SFAS 161). This statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 161 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,”, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets under FASB 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FSP FAS 142-3 on its consolidated financial statements.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Introduction
During the first quarter of 2008, MedLink continued to progress on the growth and success of 2007 with its 3rd straight quarter of growth. 2007 had produced a banner year for MedLink as the Company released its MedLink EHR TotalOffice 3.0 and MedLink TV, and made the transformation to a sales organization from that of a development company. The company believes that it has set the foundation with its products and strategic alliances to generate significant growth and penetration in the healthcare information technology (“HIT”) market.
With an aggressive bi-partisan HIT political agenda, soaring healthcare costs, increasing demand from diagnostic imaging centers and labs seeking to integrate directly with physicians, increasing patient awareness of the importance of personal healthcare records, the pharmaceutical industry’s new found e-marketing initiative, and the backing of some of the country’s largest and most esteemed medical societies; MedLink has strategically positioned itself to execute on all facets of its business plan which the Company expects will result in tremendous growth in 2008
Status of Operations
MedLink expects to complete the integration of its MedLink EHR and MyMedLinkChart with Microsoft’s HealthVault sometime in the 2nd quarter of 2008. MyMedLinkChart and HealthVault will allow for consumers to view, save and send clinical information from within their HealthVault account, improving coordination of care. Once completed the integration with HealthVault will enable health organizations to leverage HealthVault in strengthening the relationship between physicians and their patients, by allowing physicians with the push of a button to send the entire patient record to HealthVault. The integration with HealthVault will enhance MedLink’s competitive advantages in the HIT marketplace by driving patient demand to Physicians which will be driven through an aggressive marketing campaign on MedLink TV.
The Company recently announced the endorsement of the Texas Medical Association, the country’s largest medical society. As MedLink continues to execute on its plan to partner with large medical associations. We have also initiated a program with two of medical societies whereby the society is offering to its members the MedLink TotalOffice EHR at a member benefit price. The backing of the MedLink TotalOffice EHR by a physician’s medical society the Company feels will be a significant step in the adoption of the EHR as physicians rely on the due diligence of their society.
There are currently more than 300 MedLink TV’s installed in 7 states and we are receiving more requests for MedLink TV than our current installation infrastructure can accommodate. Since the launch of MedLink TV in Texas in the beginning of May we have received nearly 100 install agreements per week from Texas alone. The response to the Medical society endorsements has been overwhelmingly positive. We are continuing to increase efficiencies in the installation process and will be adding to the installation staff in New York as well as opening a distribution office in Dallas, Texas in May/June of this year to accommodate the 1,800 screens that the Texas Medical Association has committed to by the end of 2008. MedLink TV has hit a critical mass milestone with MedLink TV accumulating more than 300,000 viewers a month and growing rapidly and current estimations project more than 3.5 million unique viewers per month by the end of the year rivaling some of the smaller cable channels but with the advantage of a much more valuable advertising demographic. MedLink recently signed a representation agreement with SeeSaw Networks, the largest digital signage advertising agency in the country and have begun to attract national advertisers and expect to capitalize on significant advertising revenue in the 3rd quarter of 2008.
We recently partnered with LifePoint, a leader in the electronic ordering and delivery of lab orders/results. LifePoints web-based system is currently utilized by more than 43,000 physicians each month to create a MedLink EHR offering to labs across the country. The integration of the MedLink EHR and LabTest is complete, and the two companies are in discussions with labs in New York, Texas, Virginia, Connecticut and Michigan to sponsor the MedLink TotalOffice EHR (“MedLink EHR”) to their referring physicians as a competitive advantage to competing labs. We are in the final contract stages with two of these labs and expect to start EHR integrations with labs and their physicians later this month. We expect this relationship to significantly drive sales of the MedLink EHR.
9
As of March 31, 2008 we had 31 full time employees split between New York, California, and Hyderabad, India. We expect significant growth through the remainder of 2008 as our R&D expenditures and business development come to fruition.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
MedLink is headquartered in Islandia, New York. We are in the business of selling, implementing and supporting software solutions and hardware that give healthcare providers secure access to clinical, administrative and financial data in real time, allowing them to improve the quality, safety and efficiency in the delivery of healthcare. We offer our services as stand-alone, combined or enterprise-wide systems. Our flagship product the MedLink EHR software enables physicians to utilize one solution to handle all of their practice management needs from scheduling, to practice management, to medical billing in an all in one user friendly application.
The MedLink Vision:
Our goal is to create the largest hub for personal health records in the United States. We plan to achieve this by meeting our stated mission statement below.
We will offer the medical community applications and services that we believe will ease accessibility to information related to patient care through the creation of a secure digital environment, while making it accessible to institutions both large and small at an affordable price in order to achieve the highest level of participation.
We are dedicated to creating and providing the digital backbone for the delivery of enhanced medical services to healthcare professionals worldwide through a suite of network, communication, management, financial and value-added solutions through the utilization of our Virtual Private Network (“VPN”). Our VPN connects healthcare professionals with vital information and key resources creating efficiencies and thereby achieving optimal, real-time delivery of patient information.
We are driven by our vision of creating a national, paperless, healthcare hub, combining the wisdom of healthcare professionals and the latest in integrated technology to provide solutions for the current and future challenges facing the healthcare industry. We are determined to become the global leader that physicians and healthcare professionals will turn to for real-time, cost-effective access to a myriad of patient information at the touch of a button.
MedLink Solutions & Services
MedLink TotalOffice EHR
Integrates scheduling, patient registration, billing, document management, messaging, encounter notes, e-Prescribing and e-Labs into one practice management solution. MedLink EHR contains all patients’ demographic information, including notes, appointments, lab results, history of visits, as well as all insurance and financial information. MedLink EHR centralizes your patient medical records and streamlines the diagnostic and treatment processes while allowing you to manage patient’s insurance and co-payment information and establish a simple workflow for generating and submitting accurate bills, dramatically reducing insurance company rejections.
10
MedLink EHR Lite
The MedLink EHR Lite (“EHR Lite”) works in conjunction with the MedLink EHR for referring physicians to view radiology reports and images, submit and receive lab results and to prescribe medications electronically. The referring physicians of radiology centers and laboratories affiliated with us will utilize the EHR Lite, free of charge, to view current and past reports on their patients enabling them to generate a more accurate electronic health record of their patients as well as the ability to e-prescribe medications for those patients. The seamless integration into a patient’s electronic health record is unique to our products and we hope to make the process the standard moving forward for the delivery of reports and images from radiology centers. We believe EHR Lite will help to speed the diagnostic process and significantly reduce patient wait times.
MedLink TV
MedLink TV is currently deployed in the waiting rooms of more than 300 medical offices and clinics in 7 states, and has received the endorsement of nearly a dozen medical societies including the Texas Medical Association and New York County Medical Society. We believe MedLink TV comprises one of the foremost out-of-home broadcast networks reaching a captive audience of consumers. We believe MedLink TV offers advertisers a unique channel and innovative approach to reaching consumers, in the waiting rooms of physician’s offices and outpatient clinics, while they wait for medical visits and procedures. The network balances informational and advertising content with dynamically delivered, informative, educational and entertaining programming with a focus on health issues and well-being.
MyMedLinkChart.com
Physicians are the key to helping patients create and manage their personal health records. That’s what we believe at MedLink and that’s what makes our personal health record solution so different, it encourages the sharing of information between doctor and patient with the goal of, what the American College of Physicians and the American Academy of Family Physicians have called, a collaborative effort in bringing patient health records, electronic medical records and other technologies into the office to support an ongoing patient-physician relationship.
HEALTHCARE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY MARKET
There are several trends we believe that create a positive market environment for the healthcare information technology (“HIT”) market.
Healthcare spending continues to expand. The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projects that, if left unchecked, total spending on healthcare in the United States would rise from 16% of the gross national product in 2007 to 25% in 2025. We believe HIT is one of the few answers. A study by RAND Corp. published in October 2005 found that widespread adoption of HIT could cut the total cost of healthcare by about 10%.
Another factor we believe is favorable for the HIT industry in the United States is the continued focus by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) and other payers on linking medical care payments to quality and safety, an approach commonly referred to as “pay for performance.” Some pay for performance plans offer additional reimbursement for healthcare providers that can demonstrate high levels of quality and safety. Based on CMS’ final rule for changes to the 2008 inpatient prospective payment system, there will also be instances where providers are not paid for treatment of conditions acquired while in the hospital if the condition is deemed reasonably preventable through the application of evidence-based guidelines. This change, effective in October 2008, is positive for the HIT industry because ensuring compliance with evidence-based guidelines is easier for organizations with an HIT system. Additionally, an expected increase in the number of diagnosis-related groups that are used to determine how much providers are reimbursed for providing care will also contribute to the need for HIT systems that can be used to more efficiently and accurately document and accurately submit care charges for reimbursement.
11
As the 2008 United States presidential election approaches, rising costs and varying quality have solidified healthcare as a tier-one issue. Presidential candidates in both parties favor using HIT to create efficiencies in the system and address the underlying issue of chronic illness. While there is bipartisan recognition of the benefits of HIT, we do not foresee a scenario in which the United States government would invest a significant amount of money directly in HIT, and we cannot predict how healthcare will be impacted by the upcoming election.
Increasing healthcare spending and challenges in the quality and efficiencies of care are not isolated to the United States. Most other countries are experiencing similar trends, a fact that creates a favorable environment internationally for HIT solutions and related services.
Reflective of these favorable national and global trends, the HIT market remains very competitive. The market could also be impacted by factors such as changes in reimbursement rates to hospitals and physicians, a slowdown in adoption of HIT and changes in the political, economic and regulatory environment.
The market for healthcare in the United States is highly complicated and there can be no assurance that the trends identified above will continue or that the expected benefits to our business from our responses to those trends will be achieved. In addition, the markets for healthcare information services and technology solutions are highly competitive and not only are our existing competitors seeking to benefit from these same trends, but the trends may also attract additional competitors.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended March 31, 2008 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2007.
Our revenues from continuing operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $138,461 and $0, respectively. The increase of revenue is attributable to sales of the MedLink EHR, Anywhere MD’s AutoDoc, and integration income from Radiology Centers.
Expenses for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $852,919 and $506,180, respectively. The increase in 2008 is primarily due to a significant increase in our personnel including sales and IT, increased hardware purchases to increase IT infrastructure, increased research and development efforts towards the MedLink EHR and stock based compensation for our key executives..
We had net losses of $704,458 and $516,662 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The net losses resulted primarily from our commitment to increase our sales and IT staff, increased infrastructure commitments, research and development of the MedLink EHR, and the stock based compensation agreements of our key executives.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At March 31, 2008 we had a working capital deficiency of $1,655,805 compared to a working capital deficiency of $1,613,292 at December 31, 2007, the increase is primarily due to an increase in accounts payable. While we believes revenue will be earned from the MedLink TotalOffice EHR, MedLink TV and AutoDoc will soon be sufficient to finance operations, there can be no assurance that this will be the case, and that we will not have to raise additional capital from investors. In the event we have to raise additional capital, there can be no assurance that such capital will be available when needed, or that it will be available on satisfactory terms, if at all.

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reflected in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended Marc 31, 2008 describes the significant accounting policies and methods used in the preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Estimates are used for, but not limited to, goodwill impairment and long-lived asset impairments. The following critical accounting policies are impacted significantly by judgments, assumptions and estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2008. For further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Form 10-KSB Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The FASB issued a revision of SFAS 123 (“SFAS 123(R)”) that requires compensation costs related to share-based payment transactions to be recognized in the statement of operations. With limited exceptions, the amount of compensation cost is measured based on the grant-date fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. In addition, liability awards will be re-measured each reporting period. Compensation cost will be recognized over the period that an employee provides service in exchange for the award. SFAS 123(R) replaces SFAS 123 and is effective January 1, 2007. In 2008, the Company used the black-scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of the options granted under the company’s incentive plan.
Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed by dividing earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 128, "Earnings per Shares". Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of securities that could share in the earnings.

Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosure about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, (SFAS 161). This statement requires that objectives for using derivative instruments be disclosed in terms of underlying risk and accounting designation. The Company is required to adopt SFAS 161 on January 1, 2009. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of SFAS No. 161 on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,”, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of intangible assets under FASB 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of the expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under FASB 141 (revised 2007) “Business Combinations” and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact of FSP FAS 142-3 on its consolidated financial statements.
