Notes
Note 1 - Basis of presentation
The consolidated interim financial statements included herein, presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles and stated in US dollars, have been prepared by the Company, 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 have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein. It is suggested that these consolidated interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of the Company for the period ended December 31, 2004 and notes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-KSB. The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of consolidated interim reports.
The Company was organized March 2, 2001 (Date of Inception) under the laws of the State of Nevada as ATR Search Corporation. On June 21, 2002, the Company merged with Medicius, Inc. and filed amended articles of incorporation changing its name to CareDecision Corporation and subsequently changed its name to instaCare Corp. effective February 17, 2005. The Company was in the development stage through December 31, 2004. The year 2005 will be the first year during which the Company will be considered an operating entity no longer in the development stage.
Results of operations for the interim periods are not indicative of annual results.
Note 2 - Going concern
The Company has an accumulated deficit as of March 31, 2005, and 2004 of $11,606,350 and $7,312,164, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The Company needs to obtain additional financing to fund payment of obligations and to provide working capital for operations. Management is seeking additional financing, and is now looking for a merger or acquisition candidate. The Company intends to acquire interests in various business opportunities, which in the opinion of management will provide a profit to the Company. Management believes these efforts will generate sufficient cash flows from future operations to pay the Company's obligations and working capital needs. There is no assurance any of these transactions will occur. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.
Note 3 - Business combinations
On November 4, 2004, the Company entered into a definitive "Agreement and Plan of Merger" whereby the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Pharma Tech, Inc., would acquire all of the outstanding shares of CareGen, Inc., a Nevada corporation, in exchange for 39,750,000 shares of Pharma Tech's $0.001 par value common stock and 42,500,000 shares of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock. On February 5, 2005, the Company consummated the Merger through the exchange of shares. CareGen, Inc. ceased to exist and all assets, certain liabilities and capital accounts were assumed by Pharma Tech, Inc. as the surviving corporation. The Merger was structured as a tax-free exchange pursuant to internal revenue code 368, as amended.

Note 5 - Notes payable
Pinnacle Investment Partners, LP Promissory Note
On March 24, 2004, the Company was loaned $700,000 from Pinnacle Investment Partners, LP (Pinnacle). The Secured Convertible Promissory Note bears interest at the rate of 12% per annum, initially matured on September 25, 2004, but was extended for an additional six months at the option of the Company, and is secured by 14,000,000 shares of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock. Pinnacle may, at its option, at any time or from time to time, elect to convert some or all of the then-outstanding principal amount of the Note into shares of the Company's $0.001 par value common stock at a conversion price of $0.08 per share, unless such conversion would result in Pinnacle being deemed the "beneficial owner," within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of 4.99% or more of the then outstanding Common Shares of the Company. In the event the Company fails to pay any installment or principal or interest when due, the interest rate will then accrue at a rate of 24% per annum on the unpaid balance until the payment default is cured.
On February 10, 2005, the Company entered into a "Note Extension Agreement" with Pinnacle Partners, LP. The amended Agreement will automatically increase the principal balance of the original secured promissory note dated March 24, 2004 of $700,000 to $1,100,000 and the maturity date will automatically be extended to April 26, 2006. Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company has issued and additional 83,000,000 shares of its $0.001 par value common stock as collateral for the additional principal of $400,000. In addition, the Company has issued 13,000,000 shares of its common stock as a renewal fee to Pinnacle Partners and CJR, Capital, LLC, its designee. The Company has recorded a financing expense in the amount of $227,500, the fair market value of the underlying shares.

Pro forma information regarding net income and net income per share, as disclosed in Note 1, has been determined as if the Company had accounted for its non-employee stock-based compensation plans and other stock options under the fair value method of SFAS No. 123. The fair value of each option and warrant grant are estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-average assumptions used for grants under the fixed option plan:
|
2005 |
2004 |
|
| Average risk-free interest rates |
3.50% |
% |
| Average expected life (in years) |
3 |
|
| Volatility |
0% |
% |
The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of short-term traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility. Because the Company's employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options.
The weighted average fair value of options granted with exercise prices at the current fair value of the underlying stock during 2005 was approximately $0.002 per option.

General
instaCare Corp., a Nevada corporation (the "Company") was formed in 2001 as ATR Search Corp. as a development stage company with a principal business objective to place part-time, temporary or project oriented workers and contractors that had specific and hard to find information technology skills required by large businesses. In June 2002, ATR Search Corp. merged with Medicius, Inc., a Nevada corporation, and also a development stage company. Medicius, had a principal business objective to offer physicians, licensed medical service providers such as diagnostic testing laboratories, and medical insurers Internet enhanced, wireless ("Wi-Fi") information technology and data management technology (IT). After the merger the company changed its name to CareDecision Corporation and on April 14, 2005 the company changed its name to instaCare Corp. Upon completion of this merger Medicius, Inc. became a subsidiary of the company but through March 31, 2005, Medicius has remained quiet. Since the merger with Medicius, Inc., the Company pursued the following primary businesses:
On August 4, 2004 the company received a proposal for a possible merger with two private shareholder owned corporations based in Scottsdale, Arizona. On August 16, 2004 we completed a Preliminary Agreement to merge with these entities. On November 18, 2004 we incorporated two subsidiary companies, Pharma Tech Solutions, Inc. a Nevada corporation, and PDA Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation, to facilitate these mergers.
On November 3, 2004, and amended on December 27, 2004, we entered into a Definitive Agreement that called for a series of transactions to be completed between the Company, its subsidiary, Pharma Tech Solutions, Inc., and CareGeneration, Inc., the merger target.
On December 24, 2004 we entered into a broad agreement by and among instaCare Corp., our Pharma Tech Solutions, Inc. subsidiary, CareGeneration, Inc., Kelly Co. World Group, Inc. and others. This agreement, among other things, allowed for the Company to assume management and control over CareGeneration Inc.'s prescription drug distribution business and to do business under the previous business name as a means to facilitate the merger. On January 4, 2005 the Company transacted our first commerce under this agreement. Subsequently the Company has accepted additional orders for future business and fulfilled these orders. During the period ending March 31, 2005, the Company has transacted all prescription drug distribution business transacted, whether under the agreement of December 24, 2004 or subsequent to the closing of the merger. The parties concluded the activities surrounding the merger on January 27, 2005. The merger closed on February 25, 2005.
12
Pursuant to the agreements CareGeneration shareholders received 39,375,000 shares of the Subsidiary's common stock, equaling approximately 49% of the outstanding shares of the Subsidiary, and 42,500,000 of the Company's common stock in exchange for all of the shares of the Target common stock and all of the Target preferred stock. In addition, the Company offered the shareholders of CareGeneration, Inc. certain "earn-out" provisions based on performance, and agreed under certain terms to place in escrow 100,000,000 common stock shares, designating payment to CareGeneration stockholders subject to certain specific earn-out milestones. As of April 1, 2005, after the expiration of two of the milestone dates, only 70,000,000 of these shares were still available for "earn-out."
On April 14, 2005, after receiving affirmative votes from more than 50% of the outstanding shares, we changed our name to instaCare Corp. to better reflect our evolved mission and business focus. Moving forward we plan to incorporate the products and services of the former CareGeneration, Inc. into our business model.
Recent Milestones
On February 10, 2005, the Company and Pinnacle Investment Partners, LP ("Pinnacle"), entered into a Note Extension Agreement. The Company had previously issued to Pinnacle a $700,000 Secured (Convertible) Promissory Note bearing interest at the rate of 12% per annum, dated March 24, 2004 which provided for a maturity date of September 24, 2004, convertible into the Company's common stock subject to certain conditions. In a Note Extension Agreement dated September 24, 2004, the Parties amended the Note and the related Pledge and Security Agreement, and under the terms of that particular Note Extension Agreement the maturity date of the Note became March 24, 2005.
Subject to the terms of this new agreement; on March 24, 2005, Pinnacle agreed to pay to the Company $340,000 and (2) pay to Pinnacle's designee, CJR Capital, LLC, $60,000 towards Pinnacle's due diligence and legal expenses related to this new agreement. This new agreement has the following consequences: (1) the principal amount due under the Note rises automatically increases by $400,000 to $1,100,000; (2) the Maturity Date of the newly revised Note has been extended to April 24, 2006; and (3) the conversion price for those shares that underlie the Note was changed to $0.025.
In addition to the above, the Company also agreed: (1) to deliver to Pinnacle's counsel an additional 83,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock as additional escrow security, (2) issue to Pinnacle's designee, CJR Capital, LLC, 4,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock towards Pinnacle's due diligence and legal expenses related to the revision of the Note; (3) issue to Pinnacle 9,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock as a loan re-initiation fee; and (4) upon receipt of any properly crafted Seller's Representation Letter, deliver to Pinnacle an opinion of counsel to the effect that commencing March 24, 2005, Pinnacle may sell under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, shares surrendered to Pinnacle in accordance with this agreement, on condition that (1) Pinnacle uses the proceeds to pay down the indebtedness under the Note as of immediately prior to effectiveness of this agreement and (2) ceases to sell any of those Shares once that indebtedness has been paid off in full.
On February 7, 2005, the Company reached an agreement with three entities, Mercator Momentum Fund, LP, and Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd. and Mercator Advisory Group, LLC ("MAG"). Under this agreement, in return for a total investment of $2,000,000 USD from the investing entities, the last portion of which was received on February 22, 2005, the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of: (a) Twenty Thousand (20,000) shares of our Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, $1000.00 per share which shall be convertible into shares of the Company's common stock with the conversion rate pegged at 80% of the market for the Company's common stock prior to any conversion, subject to certain conditions, and (b) One Hundred Million (100,000,000) warrants to acquire up to One Hundred Million (100,000,000) shares of the Company's common stock, 50,000,000 of the warrants having an exercise strike price of $.02 and 50,000,000 of the warrants having an exercise strike price of $.03.
13
The number of shares the investing entities wish to convert and those warrant shares that any of the investing entities may acquire at any time are subject so that the aggregate number of shares of common stock of which such investing entities and all persons affiliated with the investing entities have beneficial ownership (calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) does not at any time exceed 9.99% of the Company's then outstanding common stock.
On February 11, 2005, the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2 with the Securities and Exchange Commission to register the common shares of the Company's common stock that underlie the Pinnacle agreement and the agreement with, Mercator Momentum Fund, LP, and Monarch Pointe Fund, Ltd. and Mercator Advisory Group, LLC.
RISK FACTORS
The following discussion contains, in addition to historical information, forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ significantly from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below.
Our limited operating history could delay our growth and result in the loss of your investment.
We were considered a development stage company from inception through December 31, 2004 and thus have a limited operating history on which to base an evaluation of our business and prospects. Our prospects must be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by companies in their early stage of development. Such risks include, but are not limited to, dependence on the growth of use of electronic medical information and services, the adoption of PDA based Internet appliances for the transmission and display of medical information, the need to establish our brand name, the ability to establish a sufficient client base, the level of use of medical providers and the management of growth. To address these risks, we must maintain and increase our customer base, implement and successfully execute our business and marketing strategy, continue to develop and improve our point of care software and patient processing system, provide superior customer service, respond to competitive developments and attract, retain, and motivate qualified personnel. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in addressing such risks, and the failure to do so could lead to an inability to meet our financial obligations and therefore result in bankruptcy and the loss of your entire investment in instaCare's common shares.
We have historically lost money and losses may continue in the future, which means that we may not be able to continue operations unless we obtain additional funding.
We have historically lost money. As a result, instaCare incurred an accumulated deficit from inception through the period ended March 31, 2005 of $11,591,350. In addition, instaCare's development activities since inception have been financially sustained by capital contributions. Future losses are likely to occur. Accordingly, we may experience significant liquidity and cash flow problems if we are not able to raise additional capital as needed and on acceptable terms. No assurances can be given that we will be successful in reaching or maintaining profitable operations.
We had a major shift in our business strategy in 2003. The transactions contemplated herein will further evolve that strategy. It was not until the last quarter of 2002 that we focused on the integration and marketing of our systems and applications to non-medical industries, particularly motels, hotels, and real estate management company properties. In this regard, we have only recently begun to generate revenues from these business sectors. We have a limited operating history upon which to evaluate our business plan and prospects. Although the transactions contemplated herein should provide sources of revenue, there is not as yet a history of profit. If we are unable to obtain additional external funding or generate revenue from the sales of our products, we could be forced to curtail or cease our operations.
14
We may not be able to retain our key personnel or attract additional personnel, which could affect our ability generate revenue sufficient to continue as a going concern diminishing your return on investment.
Our performance is substantially dependent on the services and on the performance of our Management. instaCare is, and will be, heavily dependent on the skill, acumen and services of our proposed new Chairman, Ronald Kelly, interim CEO Robert Cox, interim President, Secretary and Treasurer, Keith Berman, Chief Operating Officer Robert Ellis and Chief Financial Officer, Richard Foisy. Our performance also depends on our ability to attract, hire, retain and motivate our officers and key employees. The loss of the services of our executives could result in lost revenue depending on the length of time and effort required to find a qualified replacement. We have not entered into a long-term employment agreements with our key personnel and currently have no "Key Employee" life insurance policies.
Our future success may also depend on our ability to identify, attract, hire, train, retain and motivate other highly skilled technical, managerial, marketing and customer service personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully attract, assimilate or retain sufficiently qualified personnel. If we are unable to attract, retain, and train the necessary technical, managerial, marketing and customer service personnel, our expectations of increasing our clientele could be hindered, and the profitability of instaCare reduced.
Possible future issuances of common stock will have a dilutive affect on existing shareholders.
instaCare is authorized to issue up to 1,250,000,000 Shares of common stock. As of the most recent practicable date, there are 447,140,421 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Additional issuances of common stock may be required to raise capital, to acquire stock or assets of other companies, to compensate employees or to undertake other activities without stockholder approval. These additional issuances of common stock will increase outstanding shares and further dilute stockholders' interests. Because our common stock is subject to the existing rules on penny stocks and thinly traded, a large sale of stock may result in a large drop in the market price of our securities and substantially reduce the value of your investment.
The success of our products and services in generating revenue may be subject to the quality and completeness of the data that is generated into our interconnectivity systems, including the failure to input appropriate or accurate information.
Failure or unwillingness by the user to accommodate the required information may result in our not being paid for our services. As a developer of connectivity technology products, we will be required to anticipate and adapt to evolving industry standards and regulations and new technological developments. The market for our technology is characterized by continued and rapid technological advances in hardware and software development, requiring ongoing expenditures for research and development, and timely introduction of new products and enhancements to existing products.
Achieving market acceptance of new or newly integrated products and services is likely to require significant efforts and expenditures.
Achieving market acceptance for new or newly integrated products and services is likely to require substantial marketing efforts and expenditure of significant funds to create awareness and demand by participants in the healthcare industry. In addition, deployment of new or newly integrated products and services may require the use of additional resources for training our existing sales and customer service personnel and for hiring and training additional salespersons and customer service personnel. There can be no assurance that the revenue opportunities from new or newly integrated products and services will justify amounts spent for their development, marketing and rollout.
15
We could be subject to breach of warranty claims if our software products, information technology systems or transmission systems contain errors, experience failures or do not meet customer expectations.
We could face breach of warranty or other claims or additional development costs if the software and systems we sell or license to customers or use to provide services contain undetected errors, experience failures, do not perform in accordance with their documentation, or do not meet the expectations that our customers have for them. Undetected errors in the software and systems we provide or those we use to provide services could cause serious problems for which our customers may seek compensation from us. We attempt to limit, by contract, our liability for damages arising from negligence, errors or mistakes. However, contractual limitations on liability may not be enforceable in certain circumstances or may otherwise not provide sufficient protection to us from liability for damages.
If our systems or the Internet experience security breaches or are otherwise perceived to be insecure, we could lose existing clients and limit our ability to attract new clients.
A security breach could damage our reputation or result in liability. We retain and transmit confidential information, including patient health information. Despite the implementation of security measures, our infrastructure or other systems that we interface with, including the Internet, may be vulnerable to physical break-ins, hackers, improper employee or contractor access, computer viruses, programming errors, attacks by third parties or similar disruptive problems. Any compromise of our security, whether as a result of our own systems or systems that they interface with, could reduce demand for our services.
We have been granted certain copyrights and have applied to receive patent rights, and trademarks relating to our software. However, patent and intellectual property legal issues for software programs, such as our products, are complex and currently evolving.
Patent applications are secret until patents are issued in the United States, or published in other countries, therefore, we cannot be sure that we are first to file any patent application. In addition, there can be no assurance those competitors, many of which have far greater resources than we do, will not apply for and obtain patents that will interfere with our ability to develop or market product ideas that we have originated. Furthermore, the laws of certain foreign countries do not provide the protection to intellectual property that is provided in the United States, and may limit our ability to market our products overseas. We cannot give any assurance that the scope of the rights we have are broad enough to fully protect our technology from infringement. Litigation or regulatory proceedings may be necessary to protect our intellectual property rights, such as the scope of our patent. Such litigation and regulatory proceedings are very expensive and could be a significant drain on our resources and divert resources from product development. There is no assurance that we will have the financial resources to defend our patent rights or other intellectual property from infringement or claims of invalidity.
Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern.
Due to the deficit we accumulated in our development stage and a lack of revenue sufficient to support existing operations, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has recently entered into several new business ventures requiring substantial capital to achieve the significant revenues of its competitors. In order to obtain the necessary cash flow for future growth and operating support, the Company intends to expand its operations via the acquisition of operating interests in various business ventures. Management believes the aforementioned acquisitions will provide a vehicle in which to meet the cash requirements of the Company. There is no assurance any of theses transactions will occur, nor do the financial statement reflect any adjustments relating to future growth or potential acquisitions. We may need to obtain additional financing in the event that we are unable to realize sufficient revenue or collect accounts receivable as we emerge from the development stage. We may incur additional indebtedness from time to time to finance acquisitions, provide for working capital or capital expenditures or for other purposes. However, we currently anticipate that our operating cash flow along with the funds raised from financing will be sufficient to meet our operating expenses for the next 12 months. There can be no assurance that we will have funds sufficient to continue operations, and the failure to do so could lead to an inability to meet our financial obligations and therefore result in bankruptcy and the loss of your entire investment in instaCare's common shares.

Critical Accounting Policy and Estimates
Our Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation section discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
On an on-going basis, management evaluates its estimates and judgments, including those related to accrued expenses, financing operations, and contingencies and litigation. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various other factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. The most significant accounting estimates inherent in the preparation of our financial statements include estimates as to the appropriate carrying value of certain assets and liabilities which are not readily apparent from other sources. These accounting policies are described at relevant sections in this discussion and analysis and in the notes to the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB for the period ended March 31, 2005.
Results of Operations
The following is an itemization of our results of operations for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 in comparison to our results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2004.
NET REVENUE. Net revenue (revenue minus cost of sales) for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 was $196,649 as compared to net revenue of $55,392 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. As we emerge from the development stage, we have begun to generate more significant revenue. We cannot guarantee with certainty when we will begin to generate revenue sufficient enough to fund ongoing operations. Our future revenues will be reliant on the acceptance of our software systems, communication tools and suite of software applications.
EXPENSES
GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES. Our general and administrative expenses relate to the operation and leasing costs of our corporate office. General and administrative expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 were $174,936 compared to $59,082 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. We anticipate purchases of equipment and other office related supplies in conjunction with the generation of revenues from business operations.
PAYROLL EXPENSE. Our payroll expense consists primarily of management and employee salaries. Payroll expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 was $256,869 compared to Payroll expense of $80,540 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. A management team has been put in place to oversee the launch of our software systems, communication tools and suite of software applications. Management is focused on controlling payroll expenses until such time as revenues are generated sufficient to increase the salary paid to our executives. Payroll expense increased due to the addition of several new employees in 2004.
PROFESSIONAL FEES. Our professional fees include fees paid to our accountants and attorneys. Our professional fees for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 were $278,618 compared to professional fees of $238,530 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. As we have contracts with the professionals that provide support services for instaCare, our professional fees remain constant.
STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. Our stock-based compensation for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 was $346,380 compared to stock-based compensation of $485,119 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. In an effort to conserve our cash resources during fiscal 2003, 2004 and into fiscal 2005, we retained the services of outside consultants, a corporate strategic planning firm and a merchant-banking firm who agreed to provide their professional services for instaCare stock and stock options in lieu of cash. We typically retain these consultants for a period of either 90 days or 180 days duration.
17
SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT. Our software development expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 was $-0- compared to software development expense of $69,641 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. We have maintained our investment in the development of our software as management continues to focus on integrating our software systems, communication tools and suite of software applications with those of our partners.
HARDWARE COSTS. Our hardware costs represent the cost of goods category for our PDA based Residenceware products associated with the purchase and installation of computer server hardware at our hotel/motel customer sites. Our hardware costs for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 were $10,075 as compared to hardware costs of $0 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004.
IMPAIRMENT LOSS ON OPERATING ASSETS. Our impairment loss on operating assets expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 was $111,473. instaCare incurred no such expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005.
DEPRECIATION. Our depreciation expense was $13,138 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $36,377 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. This represents depreciation on the assets of instaCare and has decreased due to the asset impairment recognized as of December 31, 2004.
TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES. Total operating expenses for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 were $1,195,306 compared to $1,077,700 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. The increase in total operating expenses was mainly a result of additional overhead costs required to support the commencement of significant operations.
NET OPERATING LOSS. The net operating loss for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 was $998,657 compared to $1,022,308 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. Net operating loss is the result of revenue minus total expenses. Our net operating loss decreased from the first quarter of 2004 due to the elimination of the impairment loss recognized during the first quarter of 2004. We are please to be emerging from the development stage and are focused on reducing our net operating loss in the latter of half of 2005 through 2006.
LOSS ON DEBT SETTLEMENT. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 the Company retired past debts valued at $317,136. The Company incurred no such expense for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005. We will continue to retire our outstanding debt as revenue allows.
INTEREST INCOME. The Company did not record any interest income for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004 compared to $3,531 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005.
FINANCING COSTS. In the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 the Company incurred financing costs of $441,083 compared to $408,255 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004.
INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense was $48,699 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $9,051 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004.
NET LOSS. Our net loss from operations was $1,484,909 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2005 compared to $1,756,750 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2004. It should be expected that we would continue to incur losses from operations until such time as revenues can be generated to cover such costs.

Industries/Markets Serviced
Pharmaceutical Distribution
With our acquisition of CareGeneration, Inc. through our subsidiary Pharma Tech Solutions, Inc. we are now building a prescription drug channel distribution and fulfillment business. Our decisions to enter these markets are primarily based on experience we have gained from our earlier efforts to license our MD@Hand PDA products to companies that were already part of these channels.
Expenditures on prescription drugs accounts for more than 10 percent of the $1.5 trillion annual domestic healthcare market. However, a significant portion of the U.S. population - 45 million based on recent estimates or more than 15 percent of the total population - is excluded from receiving the drugs critical to health, longevity and quality of life due to a lack of health insurance.
Various programs, sponsored by large hospital chains through clinics but typically through state and federal government programs, attempt to provide drug benefits to the uninsured and underinsured population, but study after study have shown that administrative inefficiencies and government bureaucracy inhibit these programs. By linking a centrally located, state-of-the-art, drug distribution facility, with an established wholesale prescription distributor, and powerful wireless technology, instaCare is positioned to bring economic and administrative efficiencies to the projected $8 billion market for delivering prescriptions to medically uninsured and underinsured consumers.
Thus far instaCare, through our recent acquisition of CareGeneration, Inc., has only targeted firms that currently service this market, through the sale of discounted bulk pharmaceuticals. However, as one of the only organizations targeting this vast, underserved market, a market that typically includes a higher proportion of unhealthy and more elderly people, instaCare is positioning itself to accumulate market share by servicing the market directly.
Our pharmaceutical distribution business will thus supply some of our competitors with discount bulk pharmaceuticals for the generation of cash flow, and put this increased cash flow to use in an attempt to become a more effective competitor through the distribution of our proprietary medical IT to physicians that provide service to the poor and uninsured in the hopes that a critical mass of these physicians will electronically refer prescriptions for their patients to instaCare for fulfillment. This technology pull-through business model, although not unique, is being implemented, instaCare believes, for the first time in an indigent care setting.
Real Estate and Hotel/Motel Applications
In late 2002 we introduced ResidenceWare, a collection of Internet-enhanced communication, integration, and networking software systems and applications designed for the apartment management and lodging industries, that reside on and function through Windows CE-based PDAs and the Wi-fi networks that manage these PDAs. ResidenceWare was proprietarily and internally developed in cooperation with prominent commercial and residential real estate management companies, and hotel owners who defined for instaCare a need for a communication tool that could capitalize on recent technological advances to facilitate the relay of vital information directly and instantaneously to occupying tenants/guests
Our experiences to date have been mixed. Under our original business model, a model built on the perceived value of concentration of placements in a certain area, we found it difficult to induce area vendors to sponsor advertising after a certain level of concentration, particularly if our ResidenceWare products were installed in several hotels along the same freeway intersection or the same side of town. When it became clear that the motivations of the service vendor were different than the motivations of the hotel owner, even though both were in the business of providing service to the same guest, we had already received orders from 28 hotels or motels with approximately 2900 rooms. instaCare thus changed our Residenceware business model from an advertising sponsored model to a model where instaCare sells and installs the Wi-Fi network at the hotel on a price per room installed basis, achieving revenue from the "wiring" of a hotel with our PDA wireless networks. Once payment is received we then provide an advertising sponsored model to the hotel owner and area vendors for a fee. instaCare has shipped approximately 1250 Residenceware units to 15 hotels originally brought to us through the efforts of a sales agent. Whereas previously we employed a series of part-time or on-call installation and sales agents, instaCare is now responsible for sales, service, installation and the cooperative advertising model. Our initial sales and service agent, PCHertz.com, inc. of Fargo, ND, remains a sales agency and a referral source for us.

In the summer of 2003 we began discussions for a possible acquisition of MDU Services, Inc. (MDU), a Texas based company that was in several businesses, but of particular interest was MDU's business of providing kiosk-style access to the Internet at hotels and apartment buildings. Envisioning a more robust line of Internet connectivity products for the lodging and apartment management marketplaces, we made an initial offer to acquire MDU in the late fall of 2003. This acquisition has never progressed past the Due Diligence phase, even after we revised our offer in February 2004. Given the time that has passed and the lack of materials provided by MDU for our review, it is questionable whether this acquisition will close, although there are no penalties associated with a delayed closure. We remain interested in MDU's businesses.
SateLink is instaCare's palm computer based product system designed to facilitate wireless process control, calibration, key coding and communications within the cable and media re-broadcast industries. SateLink seeks to resolve electronic communication barriers that inhibit customer communications and service and furnishes previously unattainable controls over the delivery of their products.
SateLink is a collection of communication, integration, and networking software systems that reside on a Windows CE-based PDA that communicates via Wi-Fi wired or satellite network connections. instaCare believes SateLink will capitalize on recent innovations with PDA-sized GPS receivers to consolidate one or multiple GPS channels into a WiFi network to empower real-time satellite communications between a sponsoring corporation and field based PDAs.
Current Business Focus
Our current business focus is in two distinct areas. The first area of focus is indigent care where we will leverage our IT communications technologies, providing these technologies to physicians who treat the poor and indigent, in return for our devices being used to drive business to our pharmaceutical distribution division. The second area of focus is the hotel/motel market where our Residenceware products and services have begun building traction.
To accomplish our business goals we are marketing a comprehensive suite of medical information technology, cooperative advertising, instant messaging and fulfillment, and electronic commerce applications that are Internet enhanced, integrated for medical professional use, and hotel management/guest use, both software suites functioning through networks of wireless PDA Internet appliances. Our applications have been designed to meet the needs of the inpatient and outpatient medical environments, and the hotel management and guest (consumer), and are not just commercially viable but also regulatory standard compliant. Our satellite media applications leverage information obtained from a communications satellite. Additionally, our software applications were conceived and implemented to offer the management level user, either the medical professional or hotel manager, the ability to manage prospective and retrospective commerce.
We have filed two broad based patent applications and intend to file derivative patent applications covering the processes, use and functionality of our technologies and products. Our satellite media product is designed for use by installation and customer support technicians and offers instant and secure communication between the individual subscriber and the satellite broadcast service.
Our software is designed to integrate point of service applications. The medical appliance, the longest available product, monitors treatment protocols and up to the moment patient histories coupled with real-time on-line medical electronic prescriptions, medical diagnostic ordering and fulfillment medical insurance claims submission.

The Wi-Fi hotel/motel and apartment software makes use of much of the foundation technologies resident in the medical product, however, given the differences in the two markets that the products service, the hotel/motel product is much more cooperative o
