INFORMATION STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
This Information Statement is furnished by our board of directors in connection with our election of directors. This Information Statement and the enclosed materials are first being sent on or before the close of business on February 18, 2005 to stockholders of record as of December 31, 2004. On January 27, 2005, the holders of a majority of our outstanding voting securities on the record date executed written consents approving the above action. We will cause the election of directors to become effective 20 days after this Information Statement is first sent to the stockholders.
WE ARE NOT ASKING YOU FOR A PROXY AND
YOU ARE REQUESTED NOT TO SEND US A PROXY.
The information included in this Information Statement should be reviewed in conjunction with the financial statements, notes to financial statements, auditor's report and other information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004 that is being mailed with this Information Statement to all stockholders of record as of the record date.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Effective May 30, 2000, we completed the sale of 15,000,000 shares of our common stock at $0.50 per share to FBR Financial Services Partners (formerly FBR Financial Fund II, L.P.), or FBR, which has become our principal stockholder, owning 69.6% of our outstanding common stock and 68.6% of our outstanding voting securities.
OUTSTANDING SECURITIES AND VOTING RIGHTS
As of the record date, there were issued and outstanding 21,526,909 shares of our common stock and 345,000 shares of our preferred stock, which shares are collectively referred to in this Information Statement as voting securities for the purpose of determining stockholders entitled to receive this Information Statement. The consenting stockholders held 15,000,000 shares of our common stock and no shares of preferred stock, or approximately 69% of our issued and outstanding voting securities.
Each holder of voting securities is entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of voting securities in his or her name on our books, as of the record date, on any matter submitted to the vote of the stockholders. However, under Nevada law, any action, which may be taken at any stockholders' meeting, may be taken by written consent of the requisite number of stockholders required to take such action. The election of directors requires the affirmative vote or written consent of a majority of our outstanding voting securities. On January 27, 2005, the consenting stockholders, who hold approximately 69% of our outstanding voting securities, consented to the election of directors as set forth herein. Therefore, we are not submitting the election of directors to a vote of the stockholders, soliciting proxies and will not hold a meeting on this matter.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Information Concerning Nominees
Our bylaws fix the number of directors of our board of directors at five. On January 27, 2005, our board of directors nominated the three persons listed below for election to the board, with the remaining vacancies to be filled in the future. All three nominees were incumbent directors. Each director will be elected to hold office for a period of one year until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor has been duly elected and qualified.
Each of the nominees has consented to be named in this Information Statement and has consented to serve as a director. However, should any nominee named in this Information Statement for the office of director become unable or unwilling to accept nomination or election, the board of directors may recommend and nominate another person in the place and stead of such person. Our board of directors has no reason to believe that any substitute nominee will be required.
George L. McCabe, Jr., 45, was elected to serve as our chairman of the board of directors on May 30, 2000. Mr. McCabe has served in a management capacity with FBR, the holder of 69% of our voting securities, from 1996-2004. In 2004, he resigned from FBR to form Pine Creek Partners LLC which serves as the sub-advisor to FBR for the management of FBR Financial Services Partners, LP.
Edward M. Wheeler, 37, was elected to serve as a director on May 30, 2000. Mr. Wheeler has served in a management capacity with FBR since 1996. He is responsible for the management of a private equity fund focused on the financial services industry.
Manuel Occiano, 53, was elected to serve as a director on January 26, 2001. On May 30, 2000, our board of directors appointed Manuel Occiano as our chief executive officer. Mr. Occiano assumed management responsibility for the daily operations and reports directly to the board. Mr. Occiano previously served as our president and chief executive officer, as well as a director, from September 16, 1998 until he resigned from both positions in December 1999. Mr. Occiano served as executive vice president and chief operating officer of West Capital Financial Services, Corp., a division of SunAmerica Life from July 1996 to September 1998. He spent 13 years with Arthur Andersen LLP as senior manager directing financial services and business consulting practices for the San Diego office.
Additional Executive Officers and Key Employees
Robert Perez, 41, was appointed as our senior vice president of sales and marketing on August 14, 2000. Prior to joining us, he was a co-owner and the Secretary/Treasurer of CPS, and was responsible for new business development. Prior to joining CPS, Mr. Perez owned and operated a firm that provided financial and reimbursement consulting services to the healthcare industry.
On January 22, 2004 the Board of Directors approved the CEO's January 21, 2004 appointment of Kenneth Leighton, who had served as the secretary and interim chief financial officer from July 25, 2000 until January 2, 2001 to serve as secretary and interim chief financial officer. On April 16, 2004, our board of directors accepted the resignation of Ken Leighton.

TRANSACTIONS WITH MANAGEMENT AND OTHERS
As part of Mr. Manny Occiano's original employment agreement, Mr. Occiano was eligible to participate in the management bonus pool to be established by the Board of Directors and was entitled, during 1999 only, to quarterly advances of $22,500 to be credited against the management bonus when earned. Mr. Occiano received four such advances amounting to $90,000. This amount is to be credited against future management bonuses when earned. Mr. Occiano also received a loan of $100,000 to purchase 66,000 shares of common stock on the open market. The loan is secured by a pledge of the common stock acquired.
In connection with the August 2003 FBR $1,000,000 convertible note, the maturity date of all indebtedness that we owe to FBR and the $1,232,272 owed to Robert Perez in connection with the acquisition of OCPS was extended to September 1, 2005, with all outstanding principal and accrued interest due on this date, subject to customary events of acceleration. The loan arrangements included an extension of Mr. Perez's employment agreement until his note is paid in full.
In addition, the terms of all of the indebtedness are substantially similar, pursuant to amended and restated secured convertible promissory notes, which we issued in exchange for all prior notes. Interest rates on the notes were changed to the prime rate charged by the Company's lender (5.25% at December 31, 2004) plus 4% per annum payable on the maturity date. All of the new notes are secured by substantially all of our assets, including the shares in our subsidiary, Orange County Professional Services, Inc., pursuant to a security agreement. We also entered into agreements with our lenders regarding the priority of their respective security interests. The $1,502,000 FBR note is senior to all other indebtedness except the Line of Credit with Bridge Bank, which is governed by the Business Financing Agreement dated February 11, 2003 that may be amended from time to time. The outstanding balance of principal and accrued interest under this financing agreement was $418,913 at December 31, 2003. The FBR notes from July 22, 2002 and September 19, 2002 were combined including accrued interest as part of the August 29, 2003 transactions and are subordinate to the Bridge Line of Credit and the $1,502,000 FBR note and Pari Pasu with all of the indebtedness that we owe Robert Perez. The revolving line of credit agreement with two officers of the Company was subordinated to the Line of Credit with Bridge Bank, all indebtedness owed to FBR and all indebtedness owed to Robert Perez. Pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement with Russell and Suzette Mohrmann and their affiliate, Hospital Employee Labor Pool, a California corporation, or HELP, the remaining $646,719 owed to the Mohrmanns was subordinated to the Company's other lenders.
On February 19, 2004 and March 16, 2004 the Company entered into secured convertible notes payable agreements for $100,000 and $50,000, respectively, with FBR. The notes bear interest at the prime rate, defined as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation's 30 largest banks as recorded in theWall Street Journal, (4.75% at September 30, 2004) plus four percent (4%), compounded quarterly. The principal and all accrued interest are due on November 1, 2005, the maturity date of the notes. All or any portion of the unpaid principal balance and any accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under this Note may be converted (the "Optional Conversion") at any time at the option of the Holder into fully paid and nonassessable shares of capital common stock of the Company (the "Stock"). The number of shares of Stock into which this Note is to be converted shall be determined by dividing said unpaid principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest by the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be calculated at the time of the Optional Conversion based on a Company valuation of 90% of 12 times the average prior 12 months monthly revenue prior to the Optional Conversion, the result will then be divided by the number of then outstanding shares on a fully converted basis.

As of September 30, 2004, the total principal balance of the Company's borrowings from FBR Financial Services Partners, L.P. (FBR), was $2,878,439 under secured convertible notes payable agreements. The significant attributes of these notes include the following:
- •
- The maturity date is September 1, 2005 on notes totaling $2,722,325.
- •
- Interest rates on the notes is the prime rate charged by the Company's lender (4.75% at September 30, 2004) plus 4% per annum payable on the maturity date.
- •
- All or any portion of the unpaid principal balance and any accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under these Notes may be converted into fully paid and nonassessable shares of capital stock of the Company (the "Stock") concurrently upon or at any time following a Financing (as defined below) at the option of Holder. The Stock shall have all of the rights, preferences and privileges of the capital stock issued in the Financing. The number of shares of Stock into which these Notes are to be converted shall be determined by dividing said unpaid principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest by the Conversion Price. The "Conversion Price" shall be determined at such time as the Company closes an equity financing of Stock or debt convertible into Stock with gross proceeds to the Company of least $500,000 (the "Financing"). The Conversion Price shall be the price per share at which the Stock is sold in the Financing or the price at which the debt converts into Stock.
On December 29, 2004 the Company entered into another secured convertible note payable agreement for $100,000 with FBR. The note bears interest at the prime rate, defined as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation's 30 largest banks as recorded in theWall Street Journal, (4.75% at September 30, 2004) plus four percent (4%), compounded quarterly. The principal and all accrued interest are due on November 1, 2005, the maturity date of the notes. All or any portion of the unpaid principal balance and any accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under this Note may be converted (the "Optional Conversion") at any time at the option of the Holder into fully paid and nonassessable shares of capital common stock of the Company (the "Stock"). The number of shares of Stock into which this Note is to be converted shall be determined by dividing said unpaid principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest by the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be calculated at the time of the Optional Conversion based on a Company valuation of 90% of 12 times the average prior 12 months monthly revenue prior to the Optional Conversion, the result will then be divided by the number of then outstanding shares on a fully converted basis.
On February 9, 2004 the Company entered into a secured convertible note payable agreement for $250,000 with the principal owner of Lighthouse (Lighthouse). The note bears interest at the prime rate, defined as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75% of the nation's 30 largest banks as recorded in theWall Street Journal, (4.75% at September 30, 2004) plus four percent (4%), compounded quarterly. The principal and all accrued interest are due on November 1, 2005, the maturity date of the note. All or any portion of the unpaid principal balance and any accrued but unpaid interest outstanding under this Note may be converted (the "Optional Conversion") at any time at the option of the Holder into fully paid and nonassessable shares of capital common stock of the Company (the "Stock"). The number of shares of Stock into which this Note is to be converted shall be determined by dividing said unpaid principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest by the Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be calculated at the time of the Optional Conversion based on a Company valuation of 90% of 12 times the average prior 12 months monthly revenue prior to the Optional Conversion, the result will then be divided by the number of then outstanding shares on a fully converted basis.
In November 2003, the Company entered into a "Business Financing Modification Agreement" with Bridge bank whereby the Company borrowed $135,000. The amount borrowed increased to $225,000 in January 2004 and the capacity to borrow was increased to $625,000 in February 2004. The proceeds of the note were used for working capital. The agreement, which bears interest at prime as
Page 5
published in theWall Street Journal Western edition (4.75% at September 30, 2004) plus 4.3%, required the Company to make 12 monthly principal and interest payments of $19,694 through February 2005. Under the Agreement, $625,000 is guaranteed by FBR. The cost to the Company for this guarantee is 8% of the total $625,000 or $50,000 due within 30 days of the end of the term of the note. The draws under these agreements amortize over twelve months. As of August 5, 2004, the Company signed an addendum to the "Business Financing Modification Agreement" which allowed the Company to advance the remaining amount of the $625,000 and only make interest payment each month. The Company also issued a warrant to Bridge Bank, National Association to purchase up to 100,000 shares of the Company's common stock in connection with this agreement. This warrant is subject to an exercise price of $.25 per share and expires on August 5, 2011. The warrant is exercisable in whole or in part and in 50,000 share increments, at any time on or before the expiration date.

- Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the applicable rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
