NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation:
The financial statements included in this Form 10-QSB have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2003.
In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting solely of those which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the interim periods.
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
Note 2 – Stock-Based Compensation:
At June 30, 2004, we have one stock-based employee compensation plan. We account for this plan under the recognition and measurement principles of APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and Related Interpretations.” No stock-based employee compensation cost is reflected in net income, as all options granted under this plan as of June 30, 2004 had an exercise price equal to or greater than the fair market value of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if we had applied the fair value recognition provisions of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by FASB Statement No. 148 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure,” to account for stock-based employee compensation.

We have an employment agreement with an executive officer that provided for the granting of 30,000 restricted shares of Common Stock to the executive officer on January 31, 2005. We accrued $6,852 and $19,414 of stock based compensation expense during the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, respectively. We accrued $3,426 of stock based compensation expense during each of the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.
Note 3 - Earnings Per Share:
Basic earnings per common share for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was calculated based upon net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of our common stock, $0.00025 par value, outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was calculated based upon net income divided by the weighted average number of shares of our common stock outstanding during the period, adjusted for dilutive securities using the treasury method.

(unaudited)
As of June 30 2004, options to purchase 206,100 shares of our common stock have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share as they were all antidilutive. As of June 30, 2003, there were no stock options that are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per common share as they are all dilutive.
Note 4 - Long-term Debt:
On May 15, 2004, we renewed and amended our agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association. The renewed and amended agreement is for an unsecured committed line of credit of $5,000,000. Interest is payable at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 2.0%. The agreement requires us, among other things, to maintain certain financial covenants. The committed line of credit matures June 30, 2005 and may be renewed on an annual basis. At June 30, 2004, we had no borrowings under the committed line of credit and are compliant with the financial covenants.
On October 1, 2001, we acquired effective control of the Intelligent Imaging™ business unit of Quintiles, Inc., a North Carolina corporation, referred to as Quintiles, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quintiles Transnational Corporation. The acquisition of Intelligent Imaging closed on October 25, 2001. In connection with the acquisition of Intelligent Imaging, as of February 1, 2002, we are obligated to pay quarterly payments of principal of $41,667 under a note, referred to as the Quintiles Note, plus accrued interest thereon, and one payment of principal of $500,000 on November 1, 2004, unless the Quintiles Note is previously converted into shares of our common stock. The Quintiles Note bears interest at the rate in effect on the business day immediately prior to the date on which payments are due under the Quintiles Note equal to the three-month LIBOR (London Interbank Offering Rate) as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal plus 3%, compounded annually based on a 365-day year. We have recorded the balance of the Quintiles Note of $583,330 as a current liability as of June 30, 2004.
The number of shares of our common stock into which the Quintiles Note may be converted is calculated by dividing the outstanding principal balance of the Quintiles Note, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, by the greater of: (i) 75% of the average closing price of our common stock over the ten consecutive trading days ending prior to the date of conversion; or (ii) $0.906 per share. At June 30, 2004, the Quintiles Note would have been convertible into 161,081 shares of our common stock. This was calculated by dividing the unpaid principal balance ($583,330 as of June 30, 2004) plus accrued interest ($6,225 as of June 30, 2004), totaling $589,555, by $3.66 (75% of the average closing price of our common stock over the ten consecutive trading days ending on June 30, 2004). Under the formula contained in the Quintiles Note, at the minimum price per share of $0.906, the maximum number of shares of our common stock to be issued to Quintiles, based upon the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest at June 30, 2004, would be 650,723 shares.

On June 23, 2004, we entered into a $339,567 sale-leaseback transaction whereby we sold and leased back computer equipment and furniture. The resulting lease is being accounted for as a capital lease. There was no gain or loss recorded on the sale. The lease term is 3 years with an interest rate of 5.35%.
Note 5 – Business Segments
FASB Statement No. 131, “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” requires companies to provide certain information about their operating segments. In November 2003, we acquired the intellectual property of CapMed Corporation. Accordingly, we now have two reportable segments: pharmaceutical contract services and the CapMed division. Our pharmaceutical contract service segment provides services that support the product development process of the pharmaceutical, biotechnology and medical device industries. Our CapMed segment offers a software application that enables users to manage and store personal health information, including their medical images, on the privacy of their desktop computer, while linking directly to sponsor-directed resources such as drug information, patient education, or disease guidelines. The operating segments are managed separately because each offers different services and applications to different markets. Our management evaluates the performance of each segment based upon operating earnings or losses before interest and income taxes.

Our sales cycle, referring to the period from the presentation by us to a potential client to the engagement of us by such client, has historically been approximately 12 months. In addition, the contracts under which we perform services typically cover a period of 12 to 60 months and the volume and type of services performed by us generally vary during the course of a project. We cannot assure you that our project revenues will remain at levels sufficient to maintain profitability. Service revenues were generated from 71 clients encompassing 167 distinct projects for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This compares to 53 clients encompassing 130 distinct projects for the six months ended June 30, 2003.
Our contracted/committed backlog, referred to as backlog, is the amount of service revenue that remains to be earned and recognized on both signed and verbally agreed to contracts. Our backlog was approximately $44.8 million as of June 30, 2004. This compares to approximately $37.9 million as of June 30, 2003, an increase of 18.2%. Contracts included in backlog are subject to termination by our clients at any time. In the event that a contract is cancelled by the client, we would be entitled to receive payment for all services performed up to the cancellation date. The duration of the projects included in our backlog range from less than 3 months to 7 years. We believe that our backlog assists our management as an indicator of our long-term business. However, we do not believe that backlog is a reliable predictor of near-term results because service revenues may be incurred in a given period on contracts that were not included in the previous reporting period’s backlog and/or contract cancellations may occur in a given period on contracts that were included in the previous reporting period’s backlog.
We believe that demand for our services and technologies will continue to grow as the use of digital technologies for data acquisition and management increases in the radiology and drug development communities. We also believe that there is a growing recognition within the bio-pharmaceutical industry of the advantages in using an independent centralized core laboratory for analysis of medical-imaging data and compliance with the regulatory demands for the submission of such data. In addition, the Food and Drug Administration is gaining experience
-12-
with electronic submissions and is continuing to develop sophisticated guidelines for computerized submission of clinical trial data, including medical images. Furthermore, the increased use of digital medical images in clinical trials, especially for important drug classes such as anti-inflammatory, neurologic and oncologic therapeutics and diagnostic image agents, generate large amounts of image data from a large number of imaging sources. These studies require processing, analysis, data management and submission services best handled by vendors with scalable logistical capabilities and extensive experience working with research facilities worldwide. Due to several factors, including, without limitation, competition from commercial competitors and academic research centers, we cannot assure you that demand for our services and technologies will grow, sustain growth, or that additional revenue generating opportunities will be realized by us.
In November 2003, we acquired the intellectual property of CapMed Corporation, located in Wilmington, Delaware, including the Personal Health Record software, referred to as PHR, and the patent-pending Personal HealthKey™ technology. The PHR is a software application that enables users to manage and store personal health information, including their medical images, on the privacy of their desktop computer, while linking directly to sponsor-directed resources such as drug information, patient education, or disease guidelines. The Personal HealthKey™ plugs into a computer’s USB port, allowing doctors and patients easy access to the patient’s medical record without the need for additional hardware or software, and it is password protected. In connection with the acquisition, CapMed received aggregate consideration of $550,000, consisting of $211,828 in cash paid directly to CapMed’s creditors and $338,171 of our common stock, which amounted to a total of 51,724 shares, of which 40,361 were issued to CapMed and 11,363 were issued to an escrow agent pursuant to the terms of the acquisition.
We intend to expand our CapMed division through partnerships and marketing efforts devoted to the PHR and Personal HealthKey™ products. We believe that continued emphasis on improving patient care and reducing cost will contribute to the growth of the personal electronic medical records market.

Service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were $12,440,249 and $10,460,470, respectively, an increase of $1,979,779 or 18.9%. The increase in service revenues was due to an increase in the number of projects resulting from the overall market growth for medical-imaging related services for clinical trials and what we believe to be our increasing market share.
-14-
Service revenues were generated from 71 clients encompassing 167 distinct projects for the six months ended June 30, 2004. This compares to 53 clients encompassing 130 distinct projects for the six months ended June 30, 2003. One client, Amgen, Inc., encompassing 10 projects represented 10.7% of our service revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004, while for the comparable period last year one client, NPS Pharmaceuticals, encompassing four projects represented 13.3% of our service revenues. No other client accounted for more than 10% of service revenues in each of the six-month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003. Service revenues generated from our client base, while still concentrated as measured by the number of clients, has continued to become more dispersed over time. We believe more diversification is evident when revenue concentration is measured by the number of individual projects. We believe that measuring revenue concentration by project diversification may be more indicative of revenue concentration risk since we are often working on several separately-based and funded projects with a single client, with each project often being wholly independent from the others. Our primary scope of work in both periods included medical-imaging core laboratory services and image-based information management services.
Reimbursement revenues consist of reimbursements received from the customer for pass-through costs. Reimbursement revenues fluctuate significantly over the course of any given project and quarter to quarter variations are a reflection of this project timing. Therefore, our management believes that reimbursement revenues are not a significant indicator of our overall performance trends.
Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $8,896,840 and $8,076,035, respectively, an increase of $820,805 or 10.2%. The increase in cost of revenues is substantially all due to the variable costs associated with the increase in staffing levels required for project related tasks due to the increase in revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004. Cost of revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and six months ended June 30, 2003 were comprised of professional salaries and benefits, allocated overhead and pass-through costs. We expect that our cost of revenues will continue to increase in fiscal 2004 as revenue increases.
The decrease in the cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues to 63.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 68.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 is primarily due to our increase in total revenues with a lesser increase in costs associated with project related tasks. The cost of revenues as a percentage of total revenues also fluctuates due to work-flow variations in the utilization of staff and the mix of services provided by us in any given period.
General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were $2,217,420 and $1,911,212, respectively, an increase of $306,208 or 16.0%. The increase is primarily due to an increase in personnel to support the growth in our service revenues and also includes approximately $169,000 of expenses associated with the CapMed division.
-15-
General and administrative expenses in each of the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 consisted primarily of professional salaries and benefits, depreciation and amortization, professional and consulting services, office rent and corporate insurance. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase to support our operations in fiscal 2004 as revenue increases.
The decrease in general and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues to 15.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 16.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 is primarily due to a lesser increase in personnel to support the growth in our service revenues as compared to the increase in our total revenues.
Sales and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 were $1,503,482 and $981,199, respectively, an increase of $522,283 or 53.2%. The increase is primarily due to an increase in expenses associated with tradeshow attendance of approximately 22%, increased in marketing expenses of approximately 11% and an increase in personnel of approximately 10% and also includes approximately $253,000 of expenses associated with the CapMed division. Sales and marketing expenses in each of the six months ended June 30, 2004 and June 30, 2003 were comprised of direct sales and marketing costs, professional salaries and benefits and allocated overhead. We expect that sales and marketing expenses will increase in fiscal 2004 as we continue to expand our market presence in the United States and Europe.
The increase in sales and marketing expenses as a percentage of total revenues to 10.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 8.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 is primarily due to increased expenses associated with tradeshow attendance, marketing and personnel.
Net interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $8,953 and net interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $70,373, an increase of $79,326 or 112.7%. This increase is primarily due to interest income earned on a higher average cash balance for the six months ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2003. Net interest income and expense for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 is comprised of interest income earned on our cash balance and interest expense incurred on equipment lease obligations and the Quintiles Note.
Income before income taxes was $1,370,414 for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and $835,083 for the six months ended June 30, 2003, an increase of $535,331 or 64.1%. The increase was attributable to the increased revenues associated with an increase in services performed on projects for which we were contracted offset, in part, by the costs associated with increased staffing levels necessary to perform the newly contracted services.
The increase in income before income taxes as a percentage of total revenues to 9.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2004 from 7.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2003 is primarily due to increased revenues associated with an increase in services performed on projects for which we were contracted with a lesser increase in costs of revenue as a percentage of total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 was $558,548 and $233,995, respectively, an increase of $324,553 or 138.7%. The increase is primarily due to the increase in our estimated effective tax rate for 2004 of approximately 41% as compared to approximately 28% for the six months ending June 30, 2003.

At June 30, 2004, we had cash and cash equivalents of $12,513,936. Working capital at June 30, 2004 was $13,767,631.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 was $136,966 as compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $1,852,972 for the six months ended June 30, 2003. This decrease is primarily due to the increase in accounts receivable of $1,435,449 at June 30, 2004 from December 31, 2003 due to increased revenues, offset by the higher depreciation and amortization expense of $856,980 and the provision for deferred income taxes of $592,195.
Net cash used in investing activities represents our investment in capital and leasehold improvements. We currently anticipate that capital expenditures for the remainder of fiscal year ending December 31, 2004 will be approximately $800,000. These expenditures represent additional upgrades in our networking, data storage and core laboratory capabilities for both our United States and European operations.

On May 15, 2004, we renewed and amended our agreement with Wachovia Bank, National Association. The renewed and amended agreement is for an unsecured committed line of credit of $5,000,000. Interest is payable at the LIBOR Market Index Rate plus 2.0%. The agreement requires us, among other things, to maintain certain financial covenants. The committed line of credit matures June 30, 2005 and may be renewed on an annual basis. At June 30, 2004, we had no borrowings under the committed line of credit and are compliant with the financial covenants.
In connection with our acquisition of Intelligent Imaging, as of February 1, 2002, we are obligated to pay quarterly payments of principal of $41,667 under the Quintiles Note, plus accrued interest thereon, and one payment of principal of $500,000 on November 1, 2004, unless the Quintiles Note is previously converted into shares of our common stock. The Quintiles Note bears interest at the rate in effect on the business day immediately prior to the date on which payments are due under the Quintiles Note equal to the three-month LIBOR as published from time to time in The Wall Street Journal plus 3%, compounded annually based on a 365-day year. We have recorded the balance of the Quintiles Note of $583,330 as a current liability as of June 30, 2004.
We have neither paid nor declared dividends on our common stock since our inception and do not plan to pay dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We have not entered into any off-balance sheet transactions, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons that are likely to affect liquidity or the availability of or requirements for capital resources.

We anticipate that our existing capital resources together with cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity under the existing line of credit, will be sufficient to meet our foreseeable cash needs. However, we cannot assure you that our operating results will continue to achieve profitability on an annual basis in the future. The inherent operational risks associated with:
| • | our ability to gain new client contracts; |
| • | the variability of the timing of payments on existing client contracts; and |
| • | other changes in our operating assets and liabilities |
may have a material adverse affect on our future liquidity.
We may seek to raise additional capital from equity or debt sources in order to take advantage of unanticipated opportunities, such as more rapid expansion, acquisitions of complementary businesses or the development of new services. We cannot assure you that additional financing will be available, if at all, on terms acceptable to us.
Our fiscal 2004 operating plan contains assumptions regarding revenue and expenses. The achievement of our operating plan depends heavily on the timing of work performed by us on existing projects and our ability to gain and perform work on new projects. Project cancellation, or delays in the timing of work performed by us on existing projects or our inability to gain and perform work on new projects could have an adverse impact on our ability to execute our operating plan and maintain adequate cash flow. In the event actual results do not meet the operating plan, our management believes it could execute contingency plans to mitigate these effects. Our plans include additional financing, to the extent available, through the line of credit discussed above. Considering the cash on hand and based on the achievement of the operating plan and management’s actions taken to date, management believes it has the ability to continue to generate sufficient cash to satisfy our operating requirements in the normal course of business for at least the next 12 months and the foreseeable future.
Changes to Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. As of June 30, 2004, there have been no changes to such critical accounting policies and estimates.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
