NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS [UNAUDITED] (continued)

Table of Contents

1. The Company

Transax International Limited ("TNSX" or the "Company") (formerly Vega-Atlantic Corporation) was incorporated in the State of Colorado. The Company currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "TNSX" and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges under the symbol "TX6".

On June 19, 2003 Transax Limited ("Transax") entered into an Agreement in Principle (collectively with the Merger Agreement, referred to as the "Agreement", or the "Merger") to, by way of merger, exchange all of its outstanding shares for an aggregate of 11,066,207 restricted common shares of the Company, at a deemed issuance price of $0.50 per share. As of the contemplated merger date, Transax had outstanding 22,132,414 common shares, 8,200,000 warrants and 9,000,000 stock options. These securities were subject to a reverse two-to-one split under the Agreement. The Agreement was finalized on July 22, 2003, and the transaction closed effective August 14, 2003 (See Note 2, Merger).

The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary TDS Telecommunication Data Systems LTDA ("TDS"), is an international provider of information network solutions specifically designed for the healthcare providers and health insurance companies. The MedLink Solution™ enables the real time automation of routine patient eligibility, verification, authorizations, claims processing and payment functions.

The Company is in the development stage as defined in Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 7. "Accounting and Reporting for Development Stage Companies." To date, the Company has generated minimal sales and has devoted its efforts primarily to developing its products, implementing its business strategy and raising working capital through equity financing or short-term borrowings.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company present the accounts of Transax for the periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002, and of TNSX from the effective date of the merger (August 14, 2003) to September 30, 2003. (See Note 2)

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-B promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and does not include all the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principals in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary in order to make the financial statements not misleading. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Transax and results of its operations included in the audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. All material intercompany accounts and transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated.


2. Merger

On June 19, 2003 Transax entered into an Agreement in Principle to, by way of merger, exchange all of its outstanding shares for an aggregate of 11,066,207 restricted common shares of the Company, at a deemed issuance price of $0.50 per share. As of the contemplated merger date, Transax had outstanding 22,132,414 common shares, 8,200,000 warrants and 9,000,000 stock options. These securities were subject to a reverse two-to-one split under the Agreement. The Agreement was finalized on July 22, 2003, and, on August 14, 2003, the Merger was deemed closed, and the Board or Directors of the newly merged company, Transax International Limited, or "TNSX", approved the issuance of 11,066,207 common shares pursuant to the terms of the merger. On the date of the merger, TNSX had 12,472,908 common shares outstanding.

Under generally accepted accounting principles, the acquisition is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the acquisition is equivalent to the issuance of stock by Transax for the net monetary assets of TNSX, accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill is recorded. Under reverse takeover accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of the "legal acquiror" (TNSX) are those of the "accounting acquiror" (Transax). Costs associated with reverse merger will be expensed as incurred. Shares issued in the transaction are presented as outstanding for all periods presented. Activities of the legal acquirer are included from the date of the transaction onward.

On August 8, 2003, the meeting of shareholders of both TNSX and Transax were held. TNSX's shareholders approved the following ratifications: (i) name change from Vega-Atlantic Corporation to Transax International Limited, (ii) the Stock Option Plan, and (iii) the reverse Stock Split. Moreover, on August 8, 2003, the shareholders of Transax approved the terms and conditions of the Agreement in Principle and of the Merger Agreement;

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement and a corresponding contribution agreement, Transax has contributed to the Company 11,066,207 shares of its restricted common stock, 4,500,000 stock options and 4,100,000 share purchase warrants. Pursuant to further terms of the Agreement, the Company has: (i) exchanged with the Transax shareholders an aggregate of 11,066,207 shares of the Company's restricted common stock (on the basis of each two Transax shares of common stock exchanged into the right to receive one share of common stock of TNSX); (ii) exchanged with the Transax option holders an aggregate of 4,500,000 stock options to acquire up to 4,500,000 shares of TNSX's common stock to replace all stock options presently outstanding in Transax (on the basis of each two Transax stock options exchanged into the right to receive one stock option of TNSX); and (iii) exchanged with the Transax warrant holders an aggregate of 4,100,000 share purchase warrants to acquire up to a further 4,100,000 shares of TNSX's common stock to replace all share purchase warrants presently outstanding in Transax (on the basis of each two Transax share purchase warrants exchanged into the right to receive one share purchase warrant of TNSX).

On September 22, 2003 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in fiscal year end of the Company from March 31st to a calendar year-end of December 31st.

3. Going Concern

Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $5,191,200 and has a stockholders' deficit of approximately $1,553,800 at September 30, 2003. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses to develop its products and distribution networks, and does not expect to attain profitability in the near future. Since its inception, the Company has funded operations through short-term borrowings and equity investments in order to meet its strategic objectives. The Company's future operations are dependent upon external funding and its ability to increase revenues and reduce expenses. Management believes that sufficient funding will be available from additional related party borrowings and private placements to meet its business objectives including anticipated cash needs for working capital, for a reasonable period of time. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of its software products and distribution networks.

Further, since fiscal 2000, the Company has been deficient in the payment of Brazilian payroll taxes and Social Security taxes. At September 30, 2003, these deficiencies amounted to approximately $363,700, including a provision of interest and fines of approximately $86,200. This payroll liability is included as part of the accrued payroll and related expenses within the consolidated balance sheet.

As a result of the foregoing, there exists substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. These consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.


4. Litigation

In the normal course of its operations, the Company may be named in legal actions seeking monetary damages. While the outcome of these matters cannot be estimated with certainty, management does not expect, based upon consultation with legal counsel, that they would have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition or results of operations.


5. Software Development Costs

The Company established the technological feasibility of its MedLink Solutions in the year ended December 31, 2002. Therefore, from Inception to December 31, 2002, all costs incurred in establishing the technological feasibility of the MedLink Solutions were charged to expense when incurred, as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") Statement No. 2, Accounting for Research and Development Costs.

In accordance with SFAS No. 86, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed, the Company has capitalized certain of its software development costs incurred during the nine months period ended September 30, 2003. The capitalized costs are amortized, starting in the third quarter of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2003, based on the current and future revenue for each product.


6. Segmented information

The Company identifies its operating segments based on its business activities and geographical locations. The Company operates within a single operating segment, being a provider of information network solutions specifically designed for healthcare providers and health insurance companies. The Company operates in Brazil, Australia and Mauritius, and has a registered mailing address in Singapore and in the USA. All of the Company's assets are located in Brazil.

7. Stock Option Plan

On December 31, 2002 the Board of Directors of Transax approved the adoption of a 2003 incentive stock option plan. Pursuant to the merger agreement, the Company has adopted Transax's stock option plan. The plan is effective as of January 1, 2003 and provides for the issuance of stock options to employees, consultants and directors. As per the terms of the merger agreement, on August 14, 2003, the Company issued 4,500,000 options under the Stock Option Plan. These securities may dilute the earnings per share calculation in the future.

The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees", ("APB No. 25") and complies with the SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". In the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred a stock based compensation cost of approximately $222,400.

The Company has elected to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock options issued under its stock option plan and accordingly does not record an expense for such stock options. For purposes of pro forma disclosures under the fair value method, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized to expense over the options' vesting period. The Company's pro forma information for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2003 and 2002 is as follows:

Current Business Operations

Acquisition of Transax Limited

The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors"), at a special meeting, approved the execution of an agreement in principle dated June 19, 2003 and a subsequent merger agreement and its ancillary documents dated July 22, 2003 (collectively, the "Merger Agreement") among the Company, Vega-Atlantic Acquisition Corporation, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary ("Vega-Atlantic"), Transax Limited, a Colorado corporation ("Transax"), and certain selling shareholders of Transax. The Merger Agreement and the Company's acquisition of Transax by way or merger was completed effective as of August 14, 2003 (the "Effective Date").


The Merger Agreement

In accordance with the completion of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement: (i) Vega-Atlantic merged with Transax (the "Merger") so that Transax became the surviving company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and, correspondingly, the shareholders, warrantholders and optionholders of Transax became shareholders, warrantholders and optionholders of the Company; (ii) the Company's business operations became that of Transax, primarily consisting of the development, acquisition, provider and marketing of information network solutions for healthcare providers and health insurance companies world-wide; (iii) the Company changed its name to "Transax International Limited" and its trading symbol; and (iv) the Company adopted and implemented a "Stock Option Plan" for key personnel of the Company.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and a corresponding contribution agreement, as entered into between the Company and Vega-Atlantic, on the Effective Date (i) the Company contributed to Vega-Atlantic 11,066,207 shares of its restricted common stock (the "Common Stock") and 4,500,000 stock options and 4,100,000 share purchase warrants to acquire any equivalent number of shares of Common Stock of the Company; (ii) Vega-Atlantic exchanged therefore with all Transax shareholders an aggregate of 11,066,207 shares of the Company's restricted Common Stock (on the basis of each two Transax shares of common stock exchanged into one share of Common Stock of the Company); (iii) Vega-Atlantic exchanged therefore with all Transax optionholders an aggregate of 4,500,000 stock options to acquire up to 4,500,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to replace all stock options then outstanding in Transax (on the basis of each two Transax stock options exchanged into one stock option of the Company); and (iv) Vega-Atlantic exchanged therefore with all Transax warrantholders an aggregate of 4,100,000 share purchase warrants to acquire up to a further 4,100,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock to replace all share purchase warrants then outstanding in Transax (on the basis of each two Transax share purchase warrants exchanged into one share purchase warrant of the Company).

In the event that certain Transax Shareholders, but not more than 9.5%, demanded in writing payment for such shares of common stock of Transax held of record, in accordance with applicable Colorado law, such shares of common stock of Transax would not be converted into shares of restricted Common Stock of the Company. Such Transax Shareholders would be entitled to receive payment for the value of the shares of common stock of Transax held of record. The Company has been informed that no shareholders of Transax exercised their dissent rights prior to Transax's annual and general meeting on August 8, 2003 at which the Merger Agreement was approved.


Interim Secured and Convertible Loan Agreement

As a condition to entering into and in accordance with the Merger Agreement, the Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advance to Transax the aggregate principal sum of up to $250,000 (collectively, the "Principal Sum") within five (5) business days of raising of a minimum of $250,000. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, the Company has received no funding.

Audit Committee

As of the date of this Quarterly Report the Company has not appointed members to an Audit Committee. As of the date of this Quarterly Report no Audit Committee has been established. Therefore, the role of an Audit Committee has been conducted by the Board of Directors.

The Company intends to establish an Audit Committee with additional appointments to the Board of Directors, as the case may be. When established, the Audit Committee will be comprised of at least two disinterested members of the Board of Directors. When established, the Audit Committee's primary function will be to provide advice with respect to the Company's financial matters and to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities regarding finance, accounting, tax and legal compliance. The Audit Committee's primary duties and responsibilities will be: (i) to serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company's financial reporting process and internal control system; (ii) to review and appraise the audit efforts of the Company's independent accountants; (iii) to evaluate the Company's quarterly financial performance as well as its compliance with laws and regulations; (iv) to oversee management's establishment and enforcement of financial policies and business practices; and (v) to provide an open avenue of communication among the independent accountants, management and the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors has considered whether the provision of such non-audit services would be compatible with maintaining its principal independent accountant's independence. The Board of Directors considered whether the Company's principal independent accountant was independent and concluded that its principal independent accountant for the previous fiscal years ended March 31, 2002 and March 31, 2003, was independent.

Consulting Agreement

Grant Atkins, a prior director and Executive Officer of the Company, derived remuneration from the Company indirectly through Investor Communications International, Inc. ("ICI"). Mr. Atkins was contracted by ICI and part of the management team provided by ICI to the Company in conjunction with the completion of the Merger. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, Grant Atkins received an aggregate of $6,260 from ICI for services provided to the Company.

The Company and ICI had entered into a two-year consulting agreement dated April 1, 1999, and on April 1, 2001 renewed such agreement for an additional two-year period. Pursuant to the terms of the consulting agreement, ICI performed a wide range of management, administrative, financial, and public company services. The consulting agreement was terminated in favor of a revised consulting services arrangement entered into commensurate with the completion of the Merger Agreement.

Pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement, the Company and ICI entered into a new consulting services agreement effective July 15, 2003 (the "Consulting Services Agreement"). Pursuant to the provisions of the Consulting Services Agreement, ICI provided to the Company such finance and general managerial services as determined by the Board of Directors, from time to time, and in its sole and absolute discretion, in order to develop the various business interests of the Company in the information network solutions industry, including the MedLink solution, for a monthly fee of $10,000. Grant Atkins, a prior director and Executive Officer of the Company, continued to consult directly to ICI and formed part of the management team provided by ICI to the Company and continued to derive remuneration from ICI for such services rendered to the Company.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, ICI has resigned its tenure as management consultant to the Company, effective on September 30, 2003, and the Consulting Services Agreement has now been terminated.

Prior to the date of this Quarterly Report the Company had been indebted to ICI, in the approximate amount of $752,100, for various fees and expenses which had been incurred by ICI and its assignees on behalf of the Company pursuant to its previous consulting services arrangement and pursuant to the previous Consulting Services Agreement with the Company (collectively, the "Debt"). ICI, and certain creditors of ICI (each a "Designate"), each of whom had already performed bona fide consulting services to the Company pursuant to a certain consulting services arrangement as entered into between the Company and International Market Trend, AG ("IMT"), entered into various assignment agreements pursuant to which ICI therein assigned a portion of its Debt from the Company to such Designates in satisfaction and release of the corresponding indebtedness then due and owing by ICI to each such Designate (each such assigned Debt amount then being a "Receivable" from the Company). Subsequently, each such Designate and the Company entered into various assignment agreements pursuant to which each Designate assigned to the Company, and acknowledged its receipt as payment in full, of its respective Receivable as consideration for the corresponding exercise through IMT by such Designates of an equivalent number of stock options in and to the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 per share of Common Stock. The balance of the Debt was converted by way of private placement in and to the Company pursuant to which an aggregate of 100,000 units of the Company were issued, at a subscription price of $1.00 per unit, with each unit being comprised of one share of Common Stock of the Company and one non-transferable warrant, and with each such warrant being exercisable for an additional share of Common Stock of the Company for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance See "Part II.

Results of Operations

On September 22, 2003 the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in fiscal year end of the Company from March 31st to a calendar year-end of December 31st. The Board of Directors' decision to change the fiscal year end was based upon consummation of the Merger Agreement and the resulting continuation of the corporate entity Transax under the Merger, which has a calendar fiscal year end. The date of the Company's fiscal year end is December 31, 2003. Therefore, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2003 covers such transition period and is for a nine-month period ended September 30, 2003.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company present the accounts of Transax from May 2, 1998 [Inception] to September 30, 2003, and the accounts of Transax for the nine months ended September 30, 2003, and of TNSX from the Effective Date of the Merger to September 30, 2003 and the results of operations of TDS for the comparative nine months period ended September 30, 2002.

For the Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to the Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2002

The Company incurred net losses of approximately $695,400 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 ($0.05 per share), compared to a net loss of approximately $646,300 ($0.05 per share) for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002. Comparative results for the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 include only the results of TDS. The results for the current period include the operations of Transax and its subsidiaries, and also of the Company from the Effective Date of the Merger to September 30, 2003. Analysis of the operating losses for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 compared to the three-month period ended September 30, 2002 is as follows :

During the third quarter of 2003, the Company generated nearly $88,000 in revenues, compared to only $10,100 in the third quarter of 2002. The significant increase in revenues is due to the roll-out of new software contracts in Brazil.

During the third quarter of 2003, payroll and related benefits increased to $89,600 (2002, $75,600) due to the addition of new staff in Brazil. The cost of product support services has decreased from $96,600 in 2002 to $87,800 for the three-month period ended September 30, 2003 due to the completion in 2002 of certain research and development stages.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2002, professional fees were minimal and were recorded as part of General & Administrative expenses. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred $145,500 in professional fees. This increase in professional fees is primarily due to expenses relating to the merger of Transax with TDS, and subsequent merger of Transax with the Company. During the three-month period ended September 30, 2003, professional fees consisted mainly of: (i) $15,800 in audit and accounting fees; (ii) $108,000 in legal fees; (iii) $12,700 in management fees and (iv) $9,000 in regulatory and filing fees.

During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred $114,300 (2002, $24,000) in related party management fees. The comparative data in 2002 includes only the related party management fees for TDS, while in 2003, it includes the related party management fees for TDS, Transax and TNSX.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of approximately $113,500 compared to general and administrative expenses of approximately $105,400 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2002. The higher costs are primarily due to an increase in support services required to maintain operations.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred $151,000 in capital offering costs. These costs consist mainly of the production and distribution of promotional materials directed to potential investors. The Company has been unsuccessful to date in raising capital under this activity.

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred $46,400 in foreign exchange losses, compared to $286,300 during the three-month period ended September 30, 2002. The loss in 2002 was due to unfavorable foreign exchange adjustments related to outstanding debts payable in $US currency.

In 2002, interest expenses were included as part of General & Administrative expenses. During the quarter ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred $4,700 in interest expenses related to its capital leases in Brazil.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, interest expense related to a loan from a third party with TDS were incurred. Pursuant to the merger of Transax with TDS, these loans have been assigned to Transax and therefore the interest due to Transax and payable from TDS cancels out. The Company has however incurred, during the quarter ended September 30, 2003, $8,400 in interest due to the conversion of certain cash advances into interest bearing convertible loans.


For the Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2003 Compared to the Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2002

The Company incurred net losses of approximately $1,733,800 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 ($0.14 per share), compared to a net loss of approximately $1,153,600 ($ 0.09 per share) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002.

Comparative results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 include only the results of TDS. Results for the current period include the operations of Transax and its subsidiaries, and also of the Company from the Effective Date of the Merger to September 30, 2003.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, the Company generated $200,200 in revenues, compared to only $35,700 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. The significant increase in revenue is due to the rollout of certain new software contracts in Brazil.

During the period, payroll and related benefits increased to $276,200 (2002, $200,340), due to the addition of new staff in Brazil. The addition of new staff is due to an increase in the workload required to properly support the current and anticipated product sales. The cost of product support services decreased moderately from $341,600 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002 to $302,100 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. The decrease is due to the completion of certain development stages in 2002.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2002, professional fees were minimal and recorded as part of General & Administrative expenses. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred professional fees of approximately $240,900. The increase in professional fees during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 is primarily due to an increase in expenses relating to the merger of Transax with TDS, and subsequent merger of Transax with the Company in 2003. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company's professional fees consisted of: (i) $62,400 in audit and accounting fees; (ii) $139,500 in legal fees; (iii) $14,800 in monitor fees; (iv) $15,200 in management fees and (v) $9,000 in regulatory and filing fees.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, the related party management fees were $108,800, compared to $296,200 in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003. The comparative data for 2002 includes only the related party management fees for TDS, while in 2003 it includes the related party management fees for TDS, Transax, and the Company.

In 2002, the Company did not incur stock-based compensation costs. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred $222,400 in stock-based compensation due to the issuance of stock options to non-employees for certain consulting services performed.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred general and administrative expenses of approximately $260,900 compared to approximately $170,000 incurred during the nine month period ended September 30, 2002. The higher costs are primarily due to an increase in support services required to maintain operations.

On January 1, 2003, the Company changed the estimated useful lives of certain assets in order to reflect better current circumstances. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company has incurred approximately $ 90,260 in depreciation expenses, compared to approximately $20,800 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred $151,000 in capital offering costs. These costs consist mainly of the production and distribution of promotional materials directed to potential investors. The Company has been unsuccessful to date in raising capital under this activity.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company incurred $37,700 in foreign exchange, compared to $286,300 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. The loss in 2002 was due to unfavorable foreign exchange adjustments as previously discussed.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002, interest expense related to a loan from a third party with TDS were incurred. Pursuant to the merger of Transax with TDS, these loans have been assigned to Transax and therefore the interest due to Transax and payable from TDS cancels out. The Company has, however, incurred during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, $27,400 in interest due to the conversion of certain cash advances into interest bearing convertible loans.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

For the Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2003

Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $5,191,200 and has a stockholders' deficit of approximately $1,553,800 as at September 30, 2003. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses to develop its products and distribution networks, and does not expect to attain profitability in the near future. Since its inception, the Company has funded operations through short-term borrowings and equity investments in order to meet its strategic objectives. The Company's future operations are dependent upon external funding and its ability to increase revenues and reduce expenses. Management believes that sufficient funding will be available from additional related party borrowings and private placements following its merger to meet its business objectives including anticipated cash needs for working capital, for a reasonable period of time. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of its software products and distribution networks.

As at September 30, 2003, the Company's current liabilities were $1,735,711 compared to $694,575 at December 31, 2002. The increase in current liabilities is due primarily to additional loans and cash advances received from a related party to fund operations.

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, net cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $788,600 compared to $712,900 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002.

Net cash flows from financing activities during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003 were approximately $929,300 resulting primarily from loans and advances from a related party, compared to $458,500 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. The additional borrowings were used to fund operating activities.

Net cash flows used in investing activities amounted to approximately $120,900 during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, compared to $16,900 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2002. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company capitalized some of its software research and development costs, while in 2002, these costs were expenses as part of the costs of product support services.

In summary, based upon the cash flow activities as previously discussed, during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, the Company's overall cash position decreased by approximately $22,200.

Plan of Operations

Notwithstanding consummation of the Merger Agreement, as of the date of this Quarterly Report, there is substantial doubt regarding the Company's ability to continue as a going concern as the Company has not generated sufficient cash flow to fund its business operations and material commitments. The Company's future success and viability, therefore, are dependent upon the Company's ability to develop, provide and market its anticipated information network solutions to healthcare providers, health insurance companies and other end-users, and the continuing ability to generate capital financing. Management is optimistic that the Company will be successful in its business operations and capital raising efforts; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in generating revenue or raising additional capital. The failure to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional capital may have a material and adverse effect upon the Company and its shareholders.

Based upon consummation of the Merger, management of the Company anticipates an increase in operating expenses over the next three years to pay costs associated with such business operations. The Company must raise additional funds. The Company may finance these expenses with further issuances of Common Stock of the Company. The Company believes that any anticipated private placements of equity capital and debt financing, if successful, may be adequate to fund the Company's operations over the next twelve months. Thereafter, the Company expects it will need to raise additional capital to meet long-term operating requirements. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities other than to current shareholders, the percentage ownership of its current shareholders would be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to its existing Common Stock. In addition, additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to conduct its business operations successfully, which could significantly and materially restrict the Company's overall business operations.

Based upon a twelve-month work plan proposed by management, it is anticipated that such a work plan would require approximately $1,000,000 of financing designed to fund various commitments and business operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, management believes that the Company can satisfy its cash requirements for approximately the next six months based on its ability to successfully raise capital and to obtain advances from certain investors and related parties, as necessary. The Company's future success and viability are primarily dependent upon the Company's current management to generate revenues from business operations and raise additional capital through further private offerings of its stock or loans from private investors. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to raise additional capital. The Company's failure to successfully raise additional capital will have a material and adverse affect upon the Company and its shareholders.

Material Commitments

Convertible Loans

On December 31, 2002, the Company borrowed $66,195 from a related party. On March 31, 2003, the Company borrowed $255,000 from this related party, and a further $100,000 on April 30, 2003. Each loan is repayable on or before a six-month term. The interest rate is 12% per annum compounded monthly. The lender shall have the option during the term of the loan, and any extension thereto, to convert the principal and interest into common stock of Transax Limmited, at a conversion price of $0.25 per unit. Each unit is comprised of 1 common share and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share of the company's Transax common stock at $0.50, for a period of twelve months. At September 30, 2003, the loans for $66,195 and for $255,000 were in default.

Cash Advances

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2003, a related party has advanced approximately $395,500 for working capital purposes. These advances are non-interest bearing.

Stock Options

As per the terms of the merger agreement, on August 14, 2003, the Company issued 4,500,000 options under the Stock Options Plan. During the nine month period ended September 30, 2003, 1,206,730 were exercised and 1,293,270 were cancelled. Therefore, as at September 30, 2003, 2,000,000 stock options were outstanding.

These securities may dilute the earnings per share calculation in the future.

Information Statement

The Board of Directors of the Company, at a special meeting, authorized and approved, subject to shareholder approval, the Reverse Stock Split of up to one-for-twenty of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the "Reverse Stock Split"). Therefore, an Information Statement pursuant to Section 14(c) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Information Statement") was prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 17, 2002 and amended December 16, 2002.

The Information Statement was circulated to the shareholders of the Company in connection with the taking of corporate action without a meeting upon the written consent of ten or less shareholders holding of record a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock effective March 25, 2003. As of November 30, 2002, there were 22,532,110 shares of the Company's Common Stock issued and outstanding. The names of the shareholders who signed the March 25, 2003 Written Consent approving the Reverse Stock Split and their respective equity ownership of the Company were as follows: (i) TriStar Financial Services, Inc. holding of record 1,216,214 shares of Common Stock (5.40%); (ii) Investor Communications International, Inc. holding of record 6,071,244 shares of Common Stock (26.94%); (iii) Alexander W.

Proxy Statement

On July 22, 2003, the Board of Directors approved and authorized certain corporate action, including an amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation to effect a proposed change in name and adoption of a Stock Option Plan for the Company. The Board of Directors further authorized and directed the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and subsequent distribution to the shareholders of record as of May 30, 2003, a notice of special shareholders' meeting and a proxy statement (collectively, the "Proxy Statement"). On approximately July 20, 2003, the Proxy Statement was distributed to all shareholders of the Company.

Pursuant to the Proxy Statement a special meeting of shareholders was held on August 8, 2003 (the "Meeting") for the following purposes: (i) to approve a proposed amendment to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the "Amendment"), to effectuate a proposed name change of the Company (the "Name Change") to such name as may be approved by the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion; (ii) to approve a proposed Stock Option Plan for key personnel of the Company; and (iii) to ratify the prior actions by shareholders of the Company taken pursuant to the March 25, 2003 Written Consent of shareholders approving the Reverse Stock Split.

Only shareholders of record at the close of business on June 9, 2003 (the "record date") were entitled to notice of and to vote the shares of Common Stock of the Company held by them on such date at the Meeting or any and all adjournments thereof. As of the record date an aggregate 1,126,606 shares of Common Stock were outstanding. There was no other class of voting securities outstanding at that date.

Each share of Common Stock held by a shareholder entitled such shareholder to one vote on each matter that was voted upon at the Meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock was necessary to constitute a quorum at the Meeting. Assuming that a quorum was present: (i) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding was required to approve the proposed Amendment to effectuate the proposed Name Change to such name as may be approved by the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion; (ii) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding was required to approve the proposed Stock Option Plan; and (iii) the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding was required to ratify the prior actions of the shareholders taken pursuant to the March 25, 2003 Written Consent of shareholders dated March 25, 2002 approving the Reverse Stock Split.

On August 8, 2003 the Meeting of shareholders was held with the resulting votes cast either in person or proxy as follows: (i) 822,251 votes FOR approval of the Name Change and 93 votes AGAINST approval of the Name Change; (ii) 732,782 votes FOR approval of the Stock Option Plan and 126 votes AGAINST approval of the Stock Option Plan; and (iii) 822,201 votes FOR ratification of the Reverse Stock Split and 118 votes AGAINST ratification of the Reverse Stock Split.

Moreover, on August 8, 2003 the shareholders of Transax holding approximately 92.16% of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Transax approved the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement and its related materials.

Stock Option Plans

On July 22, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously approved and adopted the proposed Stock Option Plan, which was implemented by the Board of Directors on the Effective Date of the Merger. The purpose of the Stock Option Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders by affording key personnel of the Company an opportunity for investment in the Company and the incentive advantages inherent in stock ownership in the Company. Pursuant to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan stock options (each a "Stock Option") will be granted only to key personnel of the Company; generally defined as a person designated by the Board of Directors upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the Company may rely including any director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company. The Stock Option Plan replaced the stock option plan adopted by the Company effective on March 25, 2003 and its terms are identical to such stock option plans, except that the Stock Option Plan provides authorization to the Board of Directors to grant Stock Options to purchase a total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company not to presently exceed 4,500,000 shares (post-Reverse Stock Split).

The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors which shall determine: (i) the persons to be granted Stock Options under the Stock Option Plan; (ii) the number of shares subject to each Stock Option and the exercise price of each Stock Option; and (iii) whether the Stock Option shall be exercisable at any time during the option period of up to ten years or whether the Stock Option shall be exercisable in installments or by vesting only. The Stock Option Plan provides authorization to the Board of Directors to grant Stock Options to purchase a total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, not to presently exceed 4,500,000 shares (post-Reverse Stock Split), as at the date of adoption by the Board of Directors of the Stock Option Plan. At the time a Stock Option is granted under the Stock Option Plan the Board of Directors shall fix and determine the exercise price at which shares of Common Stock of the Company may be acquired; provided, however, that any such exercise price shall not be less than that permitted under the rules and policies of any stock exchange or over-the-counter market which is applicable to the Company at that time.

In the event that an optionee, who is a director or officer of the Company, ceases to serve in that position, any Stock Option held by such optionee generally may be exercisable within up to 90 calendar days after the effective date that such position ceases, and after such 90-day period any unexercised Stock Option shall expire. In the event that an optionee, who is an employee or consultant of the Company, ceases to be employed by the Company, any Stock Option held by such optionee generally may be exercisable within up to 60 calendar days (or up to 30 calendar days where the optionee provided only investor relations services to the Company) after the effective date that such employment ceases, and after such 60- or 30-day period any unexercised Stock Option shall expire.

No Stock Options granted under the Stock Option Plan may be transferable by an optionee, and each Stock Option will be exercisable during the lifetime of the optionee subject to the option period of up to ten years and the limitations described above. Any Stock Option held by an optionee at the time of his death may be exercised by his estate within one year of his death or such longer period as the Board of Directors may determine.

The exercise price of a Stock Option granted pursuant to the Stock Option Plan shall be paid in cash or certified funds upon exercise of the Stock Option.

The Stock Option Plan further provides that, subject to the provisions of the Stock Option Plan and prior shareholder approval, the Board of Directors may grant to any key personnel of the Company who is an employee eligible to receive Stock Options one or more incentive Stock Options to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock allotted by the Board of Directors (each an "Incentive Stock Option"). The option price per share of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option shall be not less than fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option. In accordance with the terms of the proposed Stock Option Plan, "fair market value" of an Incentive Stock Option as of any date shall not be less than the closing price for the shares of Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the date of grant. The option term of each Incentive Stock Option shall be determined by the Board of Directors, which shall not commence sooner than from the date of grant and shall terminate no later than up to ten years from the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option, subject to possible earlier termination as described above.


Grant of Stock Options

In accordance with the Company's Stock Option Plan, the Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on "Form S-8 - For Registration Under the Securities Act of 1933 of Securities to Be Offered to Employees Pursuant to Employee Benefit Plans" registering the Stock Options and Incentive Stock Options under its Stock Option Plan in the amount of up to 4,500,000 post-Reverse Stock Split shares at various exercise prices. In accordance with receipt of shareholder approval of the Stock Option Plan, the Board of Directors is authorized, without further shareholder approval, to grant such Stock Options from time to time to acquire up to an aggregate of up to 4,500,000 shares of the Company's restricted Common Stock.

Prior to the date of this Quarterly Report the Company had been indebted to ICI, and its various assignees, in the approximate amount of $752,100, for various fees and expenses which had been incurred by ICI and its assignees on behalf of the Company pursuant to its previous consulting services arrangement and pursuant to the previous Consulting Services Agreement with the Company. ICI, and certain creditor Designates of ICI, each of whom had already performed bona fide consulting services to the Company pursuant to a certain consulting services arrangement as entered into between the Company and IMT, entered into various assignment agreements pursuant to which ICI therein assigned a portion of its Debt from the Company to such Designates in satisfaction and release of the corresponding Receivable indebtedness then due and owing by ICI to each such Designate. Subsequently, each such Designate and the Company entered into various assignment agreements pursuant to which each Designate assigned to the Company, and acknowledged its receipt as payment in full, of its respective Receivable as consideration for the corresponding exercise through IMT by such Designates of an equivalent number of Stock Options in and to the Company at an exercise price of $0.50 per share of Common Stock.

As of the date of this Quarterly Report, an aggregate of 1,206,730 Stock Options have been exercised by the Designates and the Company has issued 1,206,730 shares of its Common Stock to such Designates, in settlement of $652,071 of the aforementioned Receivable Debt. The balance of the Receivable Debt was converted by way of private placement in and to the Company pursuant to which an aggregate of 100,000 units of the Company were issued, at a subscription price of $1.00 per unit, with each unit being comprised of one share of Common Stock of the Company and one non-transferable warrant, and with each such warrant being exercisable for an additional share of Common Stock of the Company for a period of 12 months from the date of issuance.

ITEM 5. Other Information


On September 22, 2003, the Board of Directors of Company terminated the services of LaBonte & Co., Chartered Accountants ("LaBonte") as principal independent accountant for the Company. The termination of LaBonte is a result of consummation of the Merger between Transax and the Company and the subsequent decision by the Board of Directors that it would be in the best interests of the Company to effect a change in auditors to the current auditors of Transax. During the Company's two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period preceding the resignation of LaBonte, there were no disagreements with LaBonte which were not resolved on any matter concerning accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of LaBonte, would have caused LaBonte to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports. The report of LaBonte for fiscal year ended March 31, 2003 indicated the following:

"In the United States, reporting standards for auditors would require the addition of an explanatory paragraph following the opinion paragraph when the financial statements are affected by conditions and events that cast substantial doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, such as those described in Note 1. Our report to the stockholders and Board of Directors dated June 3, 2002 is expressed in accordance with Canadian reporting standards which do not permit a reference to such conditions and events in the auditors' report when these are adequately disclosed in the financial statements."

Except as described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the report of LaBonte did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, and was not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

On September 22, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Company approved and authorized the engagement of Moore Stephens, P.C., and 331 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017-5102, as the principal independent accountant for the Company.
