QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q: Why Am I Receiving These Materials?

A:

The board of directors of Signalife, Inc., a Delaware corporation (sometimes referred to in these proxy materials as “we,” “our company” or “Signalife”), is providing these proxy materials to you in connection with our annual meeting of shareowners to be held on Saturday, June 23, 2007 (the “Annual Meeting”). As a holder of record or beneficial owner of shares of our common stock or series ’A’ preferred stock you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting and to vote on the proposals described in this proxy statement.  

For purposes of this proxy statement, shares of our common stock and series ’A’ preferred stock are sometimes referred to as “common shares” and “series ‘A’ preferred shares”, respectively, and collectively as “voting shares”, while holders of our common shares and series ‘A’ preferred shares are sometimes referred to as “common shareholders” and “series ‘A’ shareholders”, respectively, and collectively as “voting shareholders”.

Q:

What Information Is Contained In These Materials?

A:

The information included in this proxy statement relates to the proposals to be voted on at the Annual Meeting and the voting process, as well as additional information concerning Signalife we are required to give you under the regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).  We are also including with this proxy statement our annual report on form 10-KSB for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, which includes an updated description of our business and audited financial statements for our most recent fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

Q:

What Proposals Are Our Voting Shareholders Entitled To Vote Upon At The Annual Meeting?

A:

There are two proposals scheduled to be voted on at the Annual Meeting by our voting shareholders, voting together as a single class:

·

the election of seven directors to serve until their successors are duly appointed, which we anticipate will occur at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held in the year 2008, and

·

the ratification of Elliott Davis, LLC, as our independent auditors for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Q:

What Is Signalife’s Voting Recommendation To Our Voting Shareholders?

A:

Our board of directors recommends that you vote your shares “FOR” each of the seven director nominees to our board of directors, and “FOR” the ratification of Elliott Davis, LLC, as our independent auditors for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Q:

What Shares Can I Vote?

A:

You may vote any voting shares which you own as of the close of business on May 31, 2007, the record date for the Annual Meeting (the “Record Date”).  These shares include shares held directly in your name as the shareowner of record, and shares held for you as the beneficial owner through a stockbroker or bank.

Q:

Do I Need An Admission Ticket To Attend The Annual Meeting?

A:

All Signalife shareholders are welcomed to attend the Annual Meeting.  You may,



–2–





however, be required to provide proof of identification should you desire to attend and vote your shares at the Annual Meeting.

Q:

Can I Vote My Shares In Person At The Annual Meeting?

A:

Yes, you may vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting.  If you choose to do so, please bring the enclosed proxy card and proof of identification.

Even if you currently plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you also submit your proxy card as described below so that your vote will be counted if you later decide not to attend.  

Q:

How Can I Vote My Shares Without Attending The Annual Meeting?

A:

To vote your shares without attending the Annual Meeting, you should submit your proxy card directly to Signalife’s stock transfer and registrar, Atlas Stock Transfer Corporation, either by mail, facsimile or internet.  Please see the proxy card for faxing or internet voting instructions.  If you provide specific voting instructions, your shares will be voted as you instruct.  If you sign but do not provide instructions, your shares will be voted as described below in “Q: How Are Votes Counted?”.  For Atlas’ contact information see “Q: How Can I Get Further Information?” below.

Q:

Can I Change My Vote?

A:

You may change your proxy instructions at any time prior to the vote at the Annual Meeting. You may accomplish this by granting a new proxy card bearing a later date (which automatically revokes the earlier proxy) or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.  Attendance at the meeting will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked unless you specifically so request.  

Q:

How Are Votes Counted?

A:

In the election of directors, you may vote “FOR” each or all of the director nominees, or your vote may be “WITHHELD” with respect to one or more of those nominees.  

With respect to the other proposals contained in this proxy statement, you may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN.”  If you “ABSTAIN,” it has the same effect as a vote “AGAINST.”  

If you sign your proxy card with no further instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our board of directors.

Each of our director nominees has consented to his or her nomination for election.  Should any director nominee no longer remain a candidate at the time of the Annual Meeting, your proxy card will be voted for the election of a replacement nominee to be designated by our board of directors to fill that vacancy.

Q:

What Is The Voting Requirement To Approve Each Of The Proposals?

A:

In the case of the election of the director positions, the seven persons receiving the highest number of “FOR” votes of our voting shares voting as a single class will be elected.  All other proposals require the affirmative “FOR” vote of a majority of those shares present and entitled to vote.  

Q:

What Happens If Additional Proposals Are Presented At The Annual Meeting?

A:

Other than the proposals described in this proxy statement, we do not expect any other matters to be presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.  If you grant a proxy, the persons named as proxy holders on the proxy card, namely, Ms. Pamela M. Bunes (our President and Chief Executive Officer) and



–3–





Mr. Kevin F. Pickard (our Interim Chief Financial Officer), will have the discretion to vote your shares on any additional matters properly presented for a vote at the meeting.

Q:

How Many Votes Do I Have?


A:

Each voting share outstanding as of the Record Date is entitled to one vote for each of the seven director positions, and one vote for each of the other proposals.  As of May 6, 2007, there were 45,714,742 voting shares issued and outstanding.

Q:

Is Cumulative Voting Permitted For The Election Of Directors?

A:

No.  Cumulative voting does not apply to any of the matters to be voted upon at the Annual Meeting as we are not required under Delaware corporate law, and have not elected under our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, to provide for cumulative voting.

Q:

What Is The Quorum Requirement For The Annual Meeting?

A:

The quorum requirement for holding the Annual Meeting and transacting business is a majority of the shares entitled to vote.  In determining whether a quorum is present, all shares present in person or represented by proxy with respect to the matter to be voted upon are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum, including shares to which the holder abstains from voting on the matter.  

Q:

Who Will Count The Votes?

A:

A representative of our company, or our legal counsel, will tabulate the votes and act as the inspector of election.

Q:

Where Can I Find The Voting Results Of The Annual Meeting?

A:

We will announce preliminary voting results at the meeting and publish final results either on our website, a form 8-K filed with the SEC, or in our quarterly report on form 10-QSB for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 which we expect to file with the SEC on or before August 15, 2007.

Q:

Who Will Bear The Cost Of Soliciting Votes For The Annual Meeting?

A:

Signalife will pay the entire cost of preparing, assembling, printing, mailing and distributing these proxy materials.  In addition to the mailing of these proxy materials, the solicitation of proxies or votes may be made in person, by telephone or by electronic communication by our directors, officers and employees, who will not receive any additional compensation for those solicitation activities.

Q:

May I Nominate A Director For Election At The Annual Meeting?

A:

So long as you are a shareholder as of the Record Date, you may nominate a director for election at the Annual Meeting provided that you provide Signalife with adequate prior written notice of that nomination not more than 90 days and not fewer than 10 days in advance of the Annual Meeting (i.e., no later than June 13, 2007).  In addition, the notice must meet all other requirements contained in our bylaws or corporate governance charters and codes.  

Any nomination for a director nominee must contain the following information:  (1) the nominee's name, age, business address and, if known, residence address; (2) the nominee’s principal occupation or employment; and (3) the number of shares of each class of company stock which the nominee beneficially owns.

Any nomination for a director nominee must also comply with SEC regulations regarding the inclusion of shareowner proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials.  We



–4–





suggest that any nominations be submitted by certified mail-return receipt requested.  Signalife reserves the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any nomination that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.

Q:

May I Propose Actions For Consideration At The Annual Meeting?

A:

It is too late to propose actions at this year’s Annual Meeting.  You may, however, make a proposal for next year’s annual meeting of shareholders.  

If you intend to tender a shareowner proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for next year’s annual meeting of shareholders, then you must, pursuant to SEC rules, deliver the written proposal to Signalife by no later than 120 days in advance of the day specified as the mailing date of this proxy statement.  Thus, since June 8, 2007 is specified as the mailing date for this proxy statement, we must receive your written proposal by no later than February 9, 2008 (i.e., 120 days prior to the one year anniversary of the June 8, 2007 date) in order for the proposal to be deemed delivered in a timely manner.  

In order for you to raise a shareowner proposal from the floor during next year’s annual meeting of shareholders, you must, pursuant to SEC rules, deliver the written proposal to us by no later than 45 days in advance of the day specified as the mailing date in our proxy statement for that annual meeting.  Thus, since June 8, 2007 is specified as the mailing date for this proxy statement, in order for you to make any such proposal from the floor, we must receive the written proposal by no later than April 15, 2008 (i.e., 45 days prior to the one year anniversary of the June 9, 2007 date) in order for the proposal to be deemed delivered in a timely manner.  .

Any proposal you may make must also comply with SEC regulations regarding the inclusion of shareowner proposals in company-sponsored proxy materials.  We suggest that any nominations or proposals be submitted by certified mail-return receipt requested.  Signalife reserves the right to reject, rule out of order, or take other appropriate action with respect to any proposal that does not comply with these and other applicable requirements.

Q:

How Can I Contact Signalife’s Directors?

A:

If you would like to contact or board or directors or any of our directors, you may send a communication to the board or that director in care of Signalife at any of the following company addresses, and we will forward that communication to the board or that director:

Fax:  (801) 262–0907

E-mail: as-transfer@msn.com

Q:

What happens if several shareholders reside at the same address but we only receive one set of proxy materials?

A:

In an effort to reduce printing costs and postage fees, we have adopted a practice approved by the SEC called “householding.”  Under this practice, shareholders who have the same address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive only one copy of our proxy materials unless one or more of these shareholders notifies us that they wish to continue receiving individual copies.  Shareholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards.

If you share an address with another shareholder and received only one set of proxy materials and would like to request a separate copy of these materials and/or future proxy materials, please send your request Signalife at any of the addresses previously described in “Q: How Can I Contact Signalife’s Directors?”.  You may also contact the company if you received multiple copies of the proxy materials and would prefer to receive a single copy in the future.

PROPOSAL NO. 1:
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the Annual Meeting, our voting shareholders will elect seven directors.  Each director so elected will serve in that position until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified, which we anticipate will occur at next our annual meeting of shareholders to be held in 2008.

There are seven nominees for election to our board of directors at this Annual Meeting, namely, Ms. Pamela M. Bunes, Mr. Ellsworth Roston, Dr. Lowell T. Harmison, Ms. Jennifer Black, Mr. Rowland Perkins, Mr. Charles Harrison and Mr. Jesse S. Rosas.  Mr. Rosas will be replacing Ms. Norma Provencio as a director, whom Signalife intends to engage as a consultant going forward.  With the exception of Mr. Rosas, each of the director nominees has served as a director since our last annual meeting of shareholders.  Information regarding the business experience of each of these nominees is provided below.  

There are no family relationships between any two or more of our directors or executive officers.  There is no arrangement or understanding between any of our directors or executive officers and any other person pursuant to which any director or officer was or is to be selected as a director or officer, and there is no arrangement, plan or understanding as to whether non-management shareholders will exercise their voting rights to continue to elect the current board of directors. There are also no arrangements, agreements or understandings to our knowledge between non-management shareholders that may directly or indirectly participate in or influence the management of our affairs.

The designated proxy holders will vote each proxy they received from our voting shareholders as directed on their proxy cards or, if no direction is made, for the seven nominees named above.  If any of these nominees should be unable or unwilling to serve, the discretionary authority granted to the proxy holders as provided in the proxy card will be exercised to vote for a substitute nominee designated by our board of directors.  We have no reason to believe that any substitute nominee will be required.  In the event that additional persons are nominated for election as directors, the proxy holders intend to vote all proxies received by them in such a manner as will assure the election of as many of the nominees named above as possible, and, in such event, the specific nominees to be voted for will be determined by the proxy holders. 

The seven nominees receiving the highest number of votes cast by our voting shareholders, voting as a single class, will be elected to fill the seven director positions.  The proxies cannot be voted for more than seven nominees.  

Our board of directors recommends to our voting shareholders that you vote “FOR” the election of Ms Bunes, Mr. Roston, Dr. Harmison, Ms. Black, Mr. Perkins and Mr. Harrison and Mr. Rosas as our seven directors.  Proxies solicited by our board of directors will be so voted unless the voting shareholder tendering the proxy specifies otherwise.

Nomination Procedures

The seven director nominees were recommended for election by our nomination and qualifications committee (the “nominations committee”) comprised of Ms. Black, as chairman, and Ms. Provencio and Mr. Perkins as members.  These nominees where then approved by the full board of directors.

There are no minimum qualifications for serving on our board of directors.  Nevertheless, in evaluating the suitability of individual board members, the nominations committee and the board consider, among other factors, the prospective nominee's:  (1) personal and professional integrity; (2) business judgment; (3) general understanding of marketing, finance and other disciplines relevant to the success of a small start-up publicly-traded company in today’s business environment; (4) general understanding of the company's business on a technical level; (5) educational and professional background, (6) overall ability to effectively work with the other members of the board to collectively serve the long-term interests of the shareholders; and (7) commitment and ability to devote sufficient time and energy to diligently his or her duties.  In determining whether to recommend a



–1–





director for re-election, the nominations committee and the board consider the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the board.  The nominations committee and the board evaluate each individual in the context of the board as a whole, with the objective of recommending a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent shareholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment, using its diversity of experience.  The foregoing standards and procedures are set forth in our corporate governance guidelines, which may be viewed on the company’s website at www.signalife.com.  As a practical matter, we strive to achieve an effective balance and range of experience and expertise, including operational experience and financial expertise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, our ability to attract and engage a board of directors comprised of individuals having all of the above ideal attributes is limited by our status as a development stage company with limited resources and market capitalization.  No consultants or search firms were used by the nominations committee or the board in identifying and selecting the director nominees.

Current Directors Not Up For Renomination

Norma Provencio
Age 49
Director since October 2003

Ms. Provencio, who is not up for renomination as a director, has served as a director since July 29, 2005.  Ms. Provencio is a certified public accountant with over 26 years of accounting experience, including significant audit and public company experience that qualify her as being financially sophisticated for AMEX audit committee purposes.  Since October 2003, Ms. Provencio has been president and owner of Provencio Advisory Services, Inc., a healthcare financial advisory firm.  Prior to that she was Partner-in-Charge of the Healthcare Industry for the Pacific Southwest for the KPMG LLP Partnership from May 2002 to September 2003.  Prior to that she was with Arthur Andersen from 1979 to May 2003, and was Partner-in-Charge of Andersen’s Pharmaceutical, Biomedical and Healthcare Practice for the Pacific Southwest from 1995 to 2002.  Ms. Provencio has also served on the Board of Directors of International Aluminum Corp. since October 2005.  Ms. Provencio holds a bachelors of science degree in accounting from Loyola Marymount University.  


There are no family relationships between any two or more of our directors or executive officers.  There is no arrangement or understanding between any of our directors or executive officers and any other person pursuant to which any director or officer was or is to be selected as a director or officer, and there is no arrangement, plan or understanding as to whether non-management shareholders will exercise their voting rights to continue to elect the current board of directors.  There are also no arrangements, agreements or understandings to our knowledge between non-management shareholders that may directly or indirectly participate in or influence the management of our affairs.

Board Of Directors; Board Attendance

Our bylaws set the authorized number of directors on our board of directors at not less than three nor more than nine, with the actual number fixed by a resolution of our board.  As noted above, there are currently seven directors serving on our board, Mss. Bunes, Black and Provencio, and Messrs. Hildebrandt, Harmison, Roston and Perkins.  Each director serves until the next annual meeting of shareholders and until his or her successor is elected and



–5–





qualified by our shareholders, both common and preferred, voting on a cumulative basis as one class, or until his or her earlier death, retirement, resignation or removal.  

Board Committees

Our board of directors has three active committees, an audit committee currently comprised of Ms. Provencio, as chairman, and Ms.  Black and Messrs. Harrison and Perkins as members; a compensation committee currently comprised of Mr. Perkins, as chairman, and Mr. Roston and Ms. Black as members; and a nomination and qualifications committee currently comprised of Ms. Black as chairman and Ms. Provencio and Mr. Perkins as members.

Board Attendance

During fiscal 2006, our board of directors, audit committee, compensation committee and nomination and qualifications committee held nine, eight, one and one meetings, respectively.  No director or committee member attended less than 75% of the total number of those meetings.

Signalife does not have a formal policy requiring directors to attend the Annual Meeting.  Nevertheless, we encourage each director to, and anticipate that each director will, attend this year’s Annual Meeting.  At our last Annual Meeting, each of our directors as of that date attended.

Independence; Audit Committee Financial Expert

Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Roston, Ms. Black, Mr. Perkins, Ms. Provencio and Mr. Harrison are each “independent” as that term is defined by the American Stock Exchange (“AMEX”).  Under the AMEX definition, an independent director is a person who (1) is not currently (or whose immediate family members are not currently), and has not been over the past three years (or whose immediate family members have not been over the past three years), employed by the company; (2) has not (or whose immediate family members have not) been paid more than $60,000 by the company during the current or past three fiscal years; or (3) has not (or whose immediately family has not) been a partner in or controlling shareholder or executive officer of an organization which the company made, or from which the company received, payments in excess of the greater of $200,000 or 5% of that organizations consolidated gross revenues, in any of the most recent three fiscal years.  

Our board of directors has determined that Ms. Provencio and Mr. Harrison are each an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of SEC rules.  An audit committee financial expert is a person who can demonstrate the following attributes:  (1) an understanding of generally accepted accounting principles and financial statements; (2) the ability to assess the general application of such principles in connection with the accounting for estimates, accruals and reserves; (3) experience preparing, auditing, analyzing or evaluating financial statements that present a breadth and level of complexity of accounting issues that are generally comparable to the breadth and complexity of issues that can reasonably be expected to be raised by the company’s financial statements, or experience actively supervising one or more persons engaged in such activities; (4) an understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting; and (5) an understanding of audit committee functions.

Audit Committee

The function of the audit committee is to assist the board of directors in monitoring:  (1) the integrity of the company’s financial statements; (2) the qualifications, independence and performance of the company’s independent auditors and recommending their appointment to the full board; (3) the performance of the company’s internal accounting and audit personnel; and (4) the compliance by the company with legal and regulatory requirements.

Audit Committee Report

The following is a report from the audit committee of our board of directors concerning the audit of our financial statements and the appointment of our independent auditors:

The audit committee of the Signalife’s board of directors oversees the company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the full board of directors.  Management is responsible for Signalife’s financial statements and the financial reporting process, including the system of internal controls.  Signalife’s independent auditors are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles.  In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management and the company’s independent auditors the audited financial statements that have been included in Signalife’s annual report on form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006.  The audit committee has also discussed with the company’s independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees, as amended.  In addition, the audit committee has also discussed with the company’s independent auditors the auditors’ independence from the company and its management including the matters in the written disclosures provided to the audit committee as required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees.

The audit committee recommended to Signalife’s board of directors, and the board approved, the inclusion of the audited financial statements in Signalife’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2006 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The audit committee has also recommended the selection of the company’s independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.

Nominations Committee

The function of the nominations committee is to evaluate and recommend to the board of directors a slate of director-nominees for election by the shareholders at each annual meeting, or to fill any vacancies in existing or new positions on the board which may arise.  

There are no minimum qualifications for serving on our board of directors.  Nevertheless, in evaluating the suitability of individual board members, the nominations committee and the board consider the various factors set forth in our corporate governance guidelines which are recited above in that section of this proxy statement captioned “Nomination Procedures”.   

Our board of directors has the authority to hire and pay a fee to consultants or search firms to assist in the process of identifying and evaluating candidates.  No such consultants or search firms have been used by the board to date and, accordingly, no fees have been paid to consultants or search firms.



–7–





We do not have any formal policies in place relative to the consideration of director candidates recommended by our shareholders, or the consideration of other proposals for corporate action made by our shareholders  Nevertheless, minority shareholders are permitted to recommend nominees for election or appointment or to make other proposals pursuant to SEC guidelines, and our board in its discretion will determine whether or not to consider that candidate based upon such criteria as it deems relevant.  To understand those guidelines, see “Q:  May I Nominate A Director For Election At The Annual Meeting?” andQ: May I Propose Actions For Consideration At Next Year’s Annual Meeting Or Nominate Individuals To Serve As Directors?” in the “Questions And Answers” section of this proxy statement above.  Given that approximately 49.5% of our voting shares are held by a single shareholder, which allows that shareholder to effectively elect our full board of directors and to take other actions, we do not believe it to be necessary at this time to formulate formal policies to consider minority shareholder director nominations or proposals to take other corporate action.

Compensation Committee

The function of the compensation committee is review and recommend to the full board of directors for its approval by majority vote any matter relating to (1) the administration of our various stock plans that falls outside of the authority of, or has not otherwise been delegated to, our executive officers; (2) the form and amount of compensation or benefits payable or provided to any director or member of management, (3) any related party transaction between the company and any director or officer of the company, and (4) any other conflict of interest between the company and any director or officer of the company.  

Director Compensation Policies

Our current policy with respect to compensating directors for serving on the full board is to compensate them through stock grants.  Specifically, upon his or her appointment to our board, each new director is granted an option to purchase 50,000 common shares, exercisable at its then trading price.  These options vest quarterly over one year based upon the continued provision of services on the board, and lapse in five years if not exercised.  Each director will thereafter automatically be granted options on the anniversary of his or her appointment date entitling such director to purchase an additional 28,000 common shares, which options will vest quarterly based upon the continued provision of services on the board, and lapse in five years if not exercised.  The exercise price for these options is fixed at current market price as of the date of grant.

Our current policy with respect to compensating directors for serving on our audit committee is to compensate the members with a combination of cash and common share purchase options.  Specifically, the chairman of the audit committee is entitled to receive a $3,000 quarterly cash retainer, plus $1,500 fee per each meeting attended.  Upon his or her appointment, the chairman is also granted an option to purchase 30,000 common shares, exercisable at its then trading price. The chairman will thereafter automatically be granted options on the anniversary of his or her appointment entitling him or her to purchase an additional 30,000 common shares.  The other members of the audit committee receive slightly lower compensation, to wit, a $2,000 quarterly cash retainer, a $1,000 cash fee per each meeting attended; and the grant of an option to purchase 25,000 common shares, exercisable at its then trading price.  All committee options vest in four quarterly installments, and lapse in five years if not exercised.

Our current policy with respect to compensating directors for serving on our compensation committee is to grant each member an option to purchase 5,000 common shares, exercisable at its then trading price, upon his or her appointment to the committee and upon each annual anniversary thereafter.  All committee options vest in four quarterly installments subject to attendance at least 90% of the committee meetings during that quarter, and lapse in five years if not exercised.

We have not yet instituted a policy for compensating members on our nomination and qualifications committee.

(1)

Board fees earned on an accrual basis during the fiscal year.

(2)

Reflects dollar amount expensed by the company during applicable fiscal year for financial statement reporting purposes pursuant to FAS 123R.  FAS 123R requires the company to determine the overall value of the options as of the date of grant based upon the Black-Scholes method of valuation, and to then expense that value over the service period over which the options become exercisable (vest).  As a general rule, for time-in-service-based options, the company will immediately expense any option or portion thereof which is vested upon grant, while expensing the balance on a pro rata basis over the remaining vesting term of the option.  For a description of FAS 123 R and the assumptions used in determining the value of the options under the Black-Scholes model of valuation, see the notes to the financial statements included with this proxy statement.

(3)

Excludes awards or earnings reported in preceding columns.

(4)

Includes all other compensation not reported in the preceding columns, including (i) perquisites and other personal benefits, or property, unless the aggregate amount of such compensation is less than $10,000; (ii) any "gross-ups" or other amounts reimbursed during the fiscal year for the payment of taxes; (iii) discounts from market price with respect to securities purchased from the company except to the extent available generally to all security holders or to all salaried employees; (iv) any amounts paid or accrued in connection with any termination (including without limitation through retirement, resignation, severance or constructive termination, including change of responsibilities) or change in control; (v) contributions to vested and unvested defined contribution plans; (vi) any insurance premiums paid by, or on behalf of, the company relating to life insurance for the benefit of the named executive officer; and (vii) any dividends or other earnings paid on stock or option awards that are not factored into the grant date fair value required to be reported in a preceding column.

The pending term of the loan-out agreement expires on November 14, 2021.  After the expiration of the pending term, the agreement renews automatically for successive one year terms, unless either party delivers 90-days’ written notice to the other of their intent not to renew.

·

Signalife pays B Technologies $180,000 per annum for Dr. Drakulic’s services under the loan-out agreement.

·

B World Technologies was granted 600,000 “restricted” common shares (200,000 shares pre-split), to be earned over five years of continuous provision of services by Dr. Drakulic.  These shares, which will be held in escrow with the company pursuant to the terms of a restricted stock agreement until they are earned, vest at the rate of 30,000 shares per quarter with the first 30,000 shares vesting on January 15, 2003.  B World Technologies is entitled to all dividends which may be declared with respect to these shares, even if not vested.  In the event that B World and/or B Technologies fail, neglect or refuse to provide Dr. Drakulic’s services, all compensation under the agreement will terminate, and the unvested portion of the 600,000 restricted common share grant shall be deemed forfeited as of the effective termination date.

In October and November 2006, as consideration for the extension and modification of the loan-out agreement, including the assumption of additional duties by Dr. Drakulic, we granted 350,000 and 520,000 common shares to B World Technologies, respectively.

On March 10, 2003, as additional incentive for the performance of Dr. Drakulic, we granted to B World Technologies options entitling it to purchase 750,000 common shares at $0.95 per share.  These options vest quarterly over a four year term, and lapse, if not exercised, on March 9, 2008.

As noted above, Dr. Drakulic works for Signalife on a full-time basis even though the loan-out agreement only provides for the provision of part-time services.  We have agreed to characterize these additional services as being provided by Dr. Drakulic as an employee, and currently compensate him at the rate of $70,000 per year for those



–13–





services.  Dr. Drakulic is also entitled to a bonus of $7,500 per quarter in the event he attains certain performance benchmarks.  We also currently provide Dr. Drakulic with a $1,200 per month automobile and gasoline allowance to cover the use, operation and maintenance of his personal automobile for company purposes.

Concurrent with entering into the loan-out agreement, B World Technologies, B Technologies and Dr. Drakulic signed an employment, confidential information, invention assignment and arbitration agreement under which they agreed, among other things, to assign to us all of Dr. Drakulic’s right, title and interest in and to any and all inventions, discoveries, etc. which he conceives or develops while engaged by Signalife.

Summarized below are certain transactions with Signalife (exclusive of compensatory transactions or arrangements with executive officers or directors previously discussed in this proxy statement) which were entered into on or after January 1, 2005, or which are presently proposed, in which any person who is currently an executive officer, director, director nominee, or holder of more than five percent of any class of our securities, or any of their immediate family members, had or will have a direct or indirect interest:

·

On January 21, 2005, we entered into a consulting agreement with one of our directors, Dr. Lowell T. Harmison, in connection with the provision of his services in evaluating the applicability of our technology to the EEG market.  Under this agreement, we acknowledged that Dr. Harmison had previously provided services for this project for which we compensated him with the sum of $70,000 in common shares, and that Dr. Harmison would provide an additional $84,000 in services, payable at the rate of $14,000 per month, to complete the project over a six month term.  Following the end of the term of the agreement, an additional $14,000 was paid covering a seventh month of service.  

·

Since that date, Dr. Harmison has rendered consulting services on a project-by-project basis as follows: on November 2, 2006, Dr. Harmison invoiced the company for (i) $36,000 for twelve months of services relating to ECG monitors, data, uses, regulatory matters and third-party testing; (ii) $28,000 for assisting in the preparation of a pharmaceutical white paper; and (iii) $19,000 for services relating to product development and focus activities.

Includes 20,448,900 common shares directly held by ARC Finance Group, LLC, and 2,156,900 common shares that we believe were transferred by ARC to, and are currently held by, an independent trustee of revocable blind trusts established by ARC Finance Group as reported by ARC Finance Group in a schedule 13D filed with the SEC on February 15, 2006.  ARC Finance Group is owned and controlled by Ms. Hampton-Stein.  As reported in the schedule 13D, the blind trusts were established pursuant to section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 in principal part to ensure that ARC Finance Group and its principals and affiliates have no control or knowledge of selling or buying activities with respect to the sale, purchase, hypothecation or other transfer or disposition of common shares held by the trustee, thereby allowing ARC Finance Group to avoid the appearance of any impropriety relative to the use of inside information in connection with such decisions and activities in view of ARC Finance Group’s putative ability as majority shareholder to procure inside information.  In order to maintain the confidentiality of all transactions by the trustee of the blind trusts and to protect itself from even the appearance of insider trading, the trustee is legally prohibited from providing to ARC Finance Group, and ARC Finance Group is legally prohibited from requesting from the trustee, any information regarding the holdings of the blind trusts or transactions in the company’s securities.  As a consequence, the current holdings of the trustee of the blind trusts in our common shares may be less or more than the 2,156,900 shares reported as being transferred to the trustee for purposes of preparing this table.

Compliance With Section 16

Section 16(a) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 requires any person who is a director or executive officer of Signalife, or who beneficially holds more than 10% of any class of our securities which have been registered with the SEC, to file reports of initial ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC.  These persons are also required under SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file.  To our knowledge based solely on our review of the copies of the Section 16(a) reports furnished to us and written representations to us that no other reports were required, the following directors and executive officers were late or deficient with respect to the following filings under Section 16(a) during or relating to fiscal 2006:  (1) Mr. Harrison failed to timely file a form 3 with respect to his appointment as a director in September 2006.

Code of Ethics

Our Board of Directors adopted a code of ethics applicable to our management.  We will provide a copy of the code without charge to any person who sends a request for a copy to our principal executive offices.

Shareholder Communication Policies And Procedures

Under our corporate governance guidelines, we have adopted a policy pursuant to which shareholders may send communications to individual directors or the full board of directors as a whole.  Any such communications may be sent by mail or courier to the Company's principal executive offices, addressed to the individual director or to the full board of directors, or by facsimile transmission at the Company's general facsimile number.  These

procedures are set forth in “Q:  How Can I Contact Signalife’s Directors?” in the “Questions And Answers” section of this proxy statement above.  

PROPOSAL NO. 2:
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

Appointment Of Independent Auditors

The audit committee of our board of directors has recommended, and our board has approved, the appointment of Elliott Davis, LLC (“Elliott Davis”), as our independent auditors for our 2007 fiscal year.  Elliott Davis also served as our independent auditors for our 2006 fiscal year.  Since we believe it is important for Signalife to receive your input on our selection of independent auditors for our company, that appointment is being presented to you for ratification.  We have afforded Elliott Davis with the opportunity for a representative to attend the Annual Meeting and to make a statement should he or she desire to do so.  This representative will also be available to answer any questions you may have.

You should note that your ratification of our selection of Elliott Davis as our independent auditors for our 2007 fiscal year is advisory only and not binding upon Signalife, although our audit committee will seriously consider your objections in not ratifying the appointment.  Even if our audit committee were to seek other independent auditors as a consequence of your objections, it is likely, because of the difficulty and expense of making any change in independent auditors, that the appointment of Elliott Davis would stand unless the audit committee were to find other good reason to make a change.  Our audit committee also reserves the right to engage any other independent auditors at any time, notwithstanding your ratification of Elliott Davis as our independent auditors for fiscal 2007, should it deem it to be in the best interests of Signalife and its shareholders.

Our board of directors recommends that you vote “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Elliott Davis as our independent auditors for our 2007 fiscal year.  Proxies solicited by our board of directors will be so voted unless the holder of voting shares tendering the proxy specifies otherwise.

Under our corporate governance guidelines and audit committee charter, our audit committee approves the engagement of our auditors, the scope of their work, and monitors their performance.  In performing its duties, our audit committee has determined our auditors to be independent as that term is defined under the federal securities laws.  

Replacement Of Prior Independent Auditors

On September 29, 2005, we formally terminated the engagement of Stonefield Josephson, Inc. (“Stonefield Josephson”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for purposes of auditing our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005.  The decision to dismiss Stonefield Josephson was recommended and



–21–





approved by the audit committee of our board of directors and also approved by our board of directors.  The reason for the change was that the company had relocated its executive offices from California to South Carolina, and the determination that it would be best to have a locally-established firm in that geographical area as our independent registered public accounting firm in order to simplify the audit process.

Stonefield Josephson audited our financial statements for two fiscal years ended December 31, 2004.  Stonefield Josephson's reports on the financial statements for those fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and was not otherwise qualified or modified as to any other uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.  Except as discussed below, during those two fiscal years and also during the subsequent period through the date of Stonefield Josephson’s replacement as indicated above:  (1) there were no disagreements between Signalife and Stonefield Josephson on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure; and (2) Stonefield Josephson provided no advice to Signalife that (i) internal controls necessary to develop reliable financial statements did not exist, (ii) information had come to the attention of Stonefield Josephson which made it unwilling to rely on management’s representations, or unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared by management, or (iii) the scope of the audit should be expanded significantly, or information had come to the attention of Stonefield Josephson that it concluded will, or if further investigated might, materially impact the fairness or reliability of a previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements, or the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal periods subsequent to the date of the most recent audited financial statements.

As previously disclosed on our form 10-KSB for our year ended December 31, 2004, in connection with audit of our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, Stonefield Josephson identified that our accounting for the beneficial conversion feature of a convertible promissory note issued on December 28, 2004, which feature we had originally recognized and amortized commencing February 14, 2005 based upon management’s interpretation of the application of existing accounting principles to the underlying contract documents, should have instead been recognized and amortized commencing December 28, 2004.  Stonefield Josephson discussed this matter with our Chief Financial Officer and other members of management, and we subsequently reevaluated the transaction and recorded an adjustment.  Stonefield Josephson believed that this adjustment reflected a significant deficiency in our internal controls over the application of existing accounting principles to new transactions and financial reporting.  This deficiency would have resulted in a material misstatement to the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004.  

As previously disclosed on our form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004, in connection with the audit of Signalife’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004, Stonefield Josephson made several observations relating to our disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls.  First, Stonefield Josephson observed that Signalife did not have adequate segregation of duties due to the size of the company, and that management had the ability to override any existing controls.  Secondly, Stonefield Josephson observed that Signalife did not have a comprehensive accounting procedures manual including information as to customized internal control structure, documentation and transaction flow.  Additionally, Stonefield Josephson observed that none of the members of our audit committee demonstrated an in-depth understanding of generally accepted accounting principles.  

With respect to the deficiency identified by Stonefield Josephson in the third paragraph above, we took corrective action during the three-month interim period ended March 31, 2005 to enhance our internal controls as they relate to addressing complex accounting issues by resolving to forward our proposed treatment of these complex accounting issues to outside professionals (other than our independent auditors) for review in situations where the accounting treatment is unclear or extremely complex.  

We also took corrective action with respect to Stonefield Josephson’s observations in the fourth paragraph above.  First, we developed procedures to facilitate the adequate segregation of duties within the limited size of our management team.  Second, we are developing a comprehensive accounting procedures manual.  Finally, in order to ensure that our audit committee had an in-depth understanding of generally accepted accounting principles, we



–22–





have appointed several directors to our board of directors with significant audit and public company experience that qualify them as being financially sophisticated for SEC and AMEX audit committee purposes.  

PROPOSAL NO. 3:
OTHER MATTERS

The enclosed proxy card gives the proxy holder discretionary authority to vote the shares held by the voting shareholder tendering the proxy in accordance with the proxy holder’s best judgment with respect to all additional matters which might come before the Annual Meeting.  In addition to the scheduled items of business, the Annual Meeting may consider shareholder proposals omitted from this proxy statement pursuant to the SEC’s proxy rules and matters related to the conduct of the Annual Meeting.  At the date of printing of this proxy statement, we are not aware of any other matter which would be presented for action before the Annual Meeting.
