Report of Independent Auditors

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Transax Limited

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Transax Limited (a development stage company) and subsidiary (the "Company") as of December 31, 2002 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the year then ended and for the cumulative period from May 2, 1998 (date of inception) to December 31, 2002. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express and opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. The financial statements of TDS Telecommunication Data Systems Ltda. (see Notes 2 and 4) to the consolidated financial statements) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2001, were audited by other auditors whose audit report thereon dated May 10, 2002 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements and included an explanatory paragraph describing and uncertainty about that entity's ability to continue as going concern for a reasonable period of time.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Transax Limited and subsidiary (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2002 and the results of their operations and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2002 and for the period from May 2, 1998 (inception) to December 31, 2002 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will coninue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency of approximately $547,000 at December 31, 2002. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans are also described in Note 3. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

TRANSAX LIMITED and SUBSIDIARY
[A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY]
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Table of Contents

1. The Company

Transax Limited ("Transax" or the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Colorado on December 13, 2001. Effective upon the formation of the Company, 10 common shares were issued to the founders for nominal consideration by a Board of Directors resolution on January 18, 2002. On October 1, 2002, Transax completed the acquisition of TDS Telecommunication Data Systems LTDA ("TDS") (See Note 2).

TDS is an international provider of information network solutions specifically designed for the healthcare providers and health insurance companies. The MedLink Solution™ enables the real time automation of routine patient eligibility, verification, authorizations, claims processing and payment functions.

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


2. Reorganization

TDS is a healthcare software development company with its principal office in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

On October 1, 2002, Transax completed the acquisition of TDS approved under a Plan of Reorganization of TDS' former parent company, Cardlink Worldwide Inc. ("Cardlink"), dated August 14, 2001. Under this Plan of Reorganization, Cardlink's creditors received 3,048,673 common shares of the Company (at a ratio of one share for each $2 of debt) and the former shareholders received 2,383,730 common shares of the Company (at a ratio of one share for every five shares of Cardlink).

On April 5, 2002, based on an agreement signed between TDS, Carlingford Investments Limited ("Carlingford") and Datatek Industrial e Comercio, LTDA ("Datatek"), TDS assumed the obligation of Datatek with Carlingford in the amount of approximately $428,000 in consideration for the legal and property rights to the computer program, MedLink Medical Application, among others. These assets were reviewed by TDS and determined to have limited technology feasibility and as such were appropriately expensed, in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards, as part of research and development costs in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

As per the Plan of Reorganization, during the years 2002 and 2001, Carlingford advanced funds of approximately $1,800,000 to TDS and Datatek (collectively referred to as the Brazilian subsidiaries) for working capital needs. In addition, Carlingford advanced funds of approximately $700,000 to Transax to provide its initial funds to principally cover start-up costs of the new entity. The principal terms of the advances were 1% interest per month plus a 10% penalty on arrears.

As part of the Plan of Reorganization, Carlingford assigned these advances to Transax as at October 1, 2002. These advances were then exchanged for 10.1 million common shares of Transax.

For accounting purposes, the acquisition is being recorded as a recapitalization of Transax, with TDS as the acquiror. The common shares issued are treated as issued by TDS for cash, and they are being shown as outstanding for all periods presented in the same manner as a stock split. For the year ended December 31, 2002, the consolidated financial statements reflect the results of operations of the Company for the three months ended December 31, 2002 and of TDS for the full year. The financial statements of the comparative December 31, 2001 period and for the period of May 2, 1998 to December 31, 2002 primarily reflect the results of operations of TDS.


3. Going Concern

Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative operating losses of approximately $3,500,000 and has a stockholders' deficit of approximately $547,000 at December 31, 2002. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses to develop its products and distribution networks, and does not expect to attain profitability for at least another two years. Since its inception, the Company has funded operations through short-term borrowings and equity investments in order to meet its strategic objectives. The Company's future operations are dependent upon external funding and its ability to increase revenues and reduce expenses. Management believes that sufficient funding will be available from additional related party borrowings and a potential merger (see Note 15) to meet its business objectives including anticipated cash needs for working capital, for a reasonable period of time. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of its software products and distribution networks.

Further, since fiscal 2000, the Company has been deficient in the payment of Brazilian payroll taxes and Social Security taxes. At December 31, 2002, these deficiencies amounted to approximately $182,500, including a provision of interest and fines of approximately $34,600.

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


4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  1. Principle of Consolidation

    The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Transax and its wholly-owned subsidiary TDS. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated (see Note 2).

  2. Use of Estimates

    The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  3. Revenue Recognition

    Revenue from the sale of software products, which do not require any significant production, modification or customization for the Company's targeted customers and do not have multiple elements, is recognized when: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (2) delivery has occurred, (3) the Company's fee is fixed and determinable and (4) collectibility is probable.

  4. Cash and Cash Equivalents

    Cash and cash equivalents consists of cash on deposit and highly liquid short-term interest bearing securities with a maturity at the date of purchase of three months or less. As of December 31, 2002, the Company had no cash equivalents.

  5. Property and Equipment, net

    Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives (approximately 5-10 years) of the assets. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the life of the expected assets are expensed to operations, while major repairs are capitalized.

  6. Impairment

    Certain long-term assets of the Company are reviewed when changes in circumstances indicate their carrying values may have become impaired, pursuant to guidance established in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." Management considers assets to be impaired if the carrying value exceeds the future projected cash flows from related operations (undiscounted and without interest charges). If impairment is deemed to exist, the asset will be written down to fair value. Management also reevaluates the period of depreciation or amortization to determine whether subsequent events and circumstances warrant revised estimates of useful lives. As of December 31, 2002, management expects those assets related to its continuing operations to be fully recoverable.

  7. Income Taxes

    The Company accounts for income taxes under SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". Under SFAS No.109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between their financial statement carrying amounts and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

  8. Foreign Currency Translation

    The assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign subsidiary are translated into U.S. dollars at the year-end exchange rates and all revenue and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rates prevailing during the periods in which these items arise. Translation gains and losses are deferred and accumulated as a component of other comprehensive income in stockholders' deficit. Transaction gains and losses that arise from exchange rate fluctuations on transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency (TDS - Brazilian Real and Transax - USD) are included in the Statement of Operations as incurred.

  9. Loss Per Share

    Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding has been retroactively restated for all the periods presented to reflect the effects of the merger under the Plan of Reorganization (see Note 2). Fully diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution of securities by including other potential common stock, including stock options and warrants, in the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for a period, if dilutive.

    At December 31, 2002, there were no outstanding stock options and warrants. However, the Company has committed to issue to certain stockholders 3,200,000 of warrants under the Plan of Reorganization (see Note 2) and options under the year 2003 incentive stock option plan of approximately 925,000 (see Notes 12 and 15). These securities may dilute the earnings per share calculation in the future.

  10. Comprehensive Income

    The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income". Other comprehensive income, which currently includes only foreign currency translation adjustments, is shown net of tax in the Statement of Changes in Stockholders' Deficit.

  11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

    SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments", requires disclosing fair value to the extent practicable for financial instruments which are recognized or unrecognized in the balance sheet. The fair value of the financial instruments disclosed herein is not necessarily representative of the amount that could be realized or settled, nor does the fair value amount consider the tax consequences of realization or settlement.

    For certain financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses and short term debt, it was assumed that the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the near term maturities of such obligations. The fair value of debt was determined based on current rates at which the Company could borrow funds with similar remaining maturities, which amount approximates its carrying value.

  12. Software Development Costs

    Development costs incurred in the research and development of new software products and enhancements to existing software products are expensed as incurred until the technological feasibility stage is established. Any additional development costs are capitalized in accordance with SFAS No. 86, "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed." Such costs are amortized over the lesser of five years or the economic life of the product. As of December 31, 2002 the Company had no capitalized software development costs.

  13. Stock Based Compensation

    The Company accounts for stock-based employee compensation arrangements in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" ("APB No. 25"), and complies with the disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation". Under APB No. 25, compensation expense is recognized based on the difference, if any, on the date of grant between the estimated market value of the Company's stock and the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Compensation expense is recognized immediately for past services and rateably for future services over the option-vesting period.

    The Company accounts for equity instruments issued in exchange for the receipt of goods or services from other than employees in accordance with SFAS No. 123 and the conclusions reached by the Emerging Issues Task Force in Issue No. 96-18, "Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services" (EITF No. 96-18). Costs are measured at the estimated fair market value of the consideration received or the estimated fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The value of equity instruments issued for consideration other than employee services is determined on the earlier of a performance commitment or completion of performance by the provider of goods or services as defined by EITF No. 96-18.


5. Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are comprised of the following:

  December 31, 2002
Computer equipment $144,156
Furniture and fixtures 11,514
Other 33,851
Total at cost 189,521
Less : accumulated depreciation and amortization 49,636
Net property and equipment $138,885

Depreciation and amortization charged to operations is approximately $27,000 and $24,000 for each of the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.


6. Financial Instruments / Credit risk

The Company performs certain credit evaluation procedures and does not require collateral for financial instruments subject to credit risk. The Company believes that credit risk is limited because the Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers, and based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of its customers, establishes an allowance for uncollectible accounts and, as a consequence, believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure beyond such allowances is limited.

The Company's principal business activities are located in Brazil. Although Brazil is considered to be economically stable, it is always possible that unanticipated events in foreign countries could disrupt the Company's operations.


7. Income Taxes

Transax files its income tax return on a single company basis as U.S. tax rules prohibit the consolidation of foreign subsidiaries. For the three months from October 1, 2002 to December 31, 2002, the period for which its operations are included in the consolidated financial statements (see Note 2), Transax incurred a net operating loss of approximately $18,300. The loss can be offset against future federal taxable income through 2022.

TDS has accumulated tax loss carryforwards of approximately $1,327,200 at December 31, 2002 (2001 - $322,400). Current Brazilian tax legislation imposes no time period for the utilization of the losses, although it does limit the annual usage of the losses to 30% of taxable profits.

These losses gives rise to a deferred tax asset of approximately $454,000 (2001 - $322,400), which has been offset by a valuation allowance of the same amount as the Company believes it is more likely than not that the losses will not be utilized.


8. Commitments and Contingencies

Rent

The Company has an operating lease for rental of office space in Brazil, renewable on an annual basis. The Company also leases Point-of-Sale terminals under an operating lease expiring in November 2004.

Rent expense amounted to approximately $64,200 and $36,700 and is classified as part of general and administrative expenses in the statement of operations for each of the years ended December 31 2002 and 2001, respectively.


9. Litigation

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


10. Segmented information

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

11. New Authoritative Pronouncements
  • On April 30, 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Statement No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections". Statement 145 rescinds Statement 4, which required all gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of related income tax effect. As a result, the criteria in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30 will now be used to classify those gains and losses. Statement 64 amended Statement 4, and is no longer necessary because Statement 4 has been rescinded. Statement 145 amends Statement 13 to require that certain lease modifications that have economic effects similar to sale-leaseback transactions be accounted for in the same manner as sale-leaseback transactions. This amendment is consistent with the FASB's goal of requiring similar accounting treatment for transactions that have similar economic effects. This Statement also makes technical corrections to existing pronouncements. While those corrections are not substantive in nature, in some instances they may change accounting practice.

  • In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", which addresses the recognition, measurement, and reporting of costs associated with exit or disposal activities, and supercedes Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3, "Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring)" ("EITF 94-3"). The provisions of SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The Company expects to adopt SFAS No. 146, effective January 1, 2003.

  • In October 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 147, "Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions". SFAS No. 147 provides guidance on the accounting for the acquisition of a financial institution. SFAS No. 147 applies to all financial institution acquisitions except those between two or more mutual enterprises.

  • In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure". SFAS No. 148 amends SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" to provide alternative methods of transition for a voluntary change to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 amends the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 to require prominent disclosures in both annual and interim financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. SFAS No. 148 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2002.

  • In April 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No. 149, "Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", which clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and for hedging activities under SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." SFAS No. 149 is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003 and for hedging relationships designated after June 30, 2003.

    The Company expects that the adoption of the new Statements will not have a significant impact on its financial statements.

12. Stock Option Plan

On December 31, 2002 the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Company's 2003 incentive stock option plan. The plan is effective as of January 1, 2003 and provides for the issuance of stock options to employees, consultants and directors. On December 31, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors approved the issuance of 925,000 options under the Stock Option Plan. As of the date of this report, the Company had not yet issued these options (see Note 15).

Table of Contents

1. The Company

Transax Limited and Subsidiaries ("Transax" or the "Company") was incorporated in the State of Colorado on December 13, 2001. Effective upon the formation of the Company, 10 common shares were issued to the founders for nominal consideration by a Board of Directors' resolution on January 18, 2002. On October 1, 2002, Transax completed the acquisition of TDS Telecommunication Data Systems LTDA ("TDS") (See Note 2).

TDS is an international provider of information network solutions specifically designed for the healthcare providers and health insurance companies. The MedLink Solution™ enables the real time automation of routine patient eligibility, verification, authorizations, claims processing and payment functions.

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

2. Reorganization

TDS is a healthcare software development company with its principal office in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.

On October 1, 2002, Transax completed the acquisition of TDS, which was approved under a Plan of Reorganization of TDS' former parent company, Cardlink Worldwide Inc. ("Cardlink"), dated August 14, 2001. Under this Plan of Reorganization, Cardlink's creditors received 3,048,673 common shares of the Company (at a ratio of one share for each $2 of debt) and the former shareholders received 2,383,730 common shares of the Company (at a ratio of one share for every five shares of Cardlink).

On April 5, 2002, based on an agreement signed between TDS, Carlingford Investments Limited ("Carlingford" or "CIL") and Datatek Industrial e Comercio, LTDA ("Datatek"), TDS assumed the obligation of Datatek with Carlingford in the amount of approximately $428,000 in consideration for the legal and property rights to the computer program, MedLink Medical Application, among others. These assets were reviewed by TDS and determined to have limited technology feasibility and as such were appropriately expensed, in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards, as part of research and development costs in the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2002.

As per the Plan of Reorganization, during the years 2002 and 2001, Carlingford advanced funds of approximately $1,800,000 to TDS and Datatek (collectively referred to as the Brazilian subsidiaries) for working capital needs. In addition, Carlingford advanced funds of approximately $700,000 to Transax to provide its initial funds to principally cover start-up costs of the new entity. The principal terms of the advances were 1% interest per month plus a 10% penalty on arrears.

As part of the Plan of Reorganization, Carlingford assigned these advances to Transax as as October 1, 2002. These advances were then exchanged for 10.1 million common shares of Transax.


3. Merger

On June 19, 2003 the Company entered into an Agreement in Principle to, by way of merger, exchange all of its outstanding shares for an aggregate of 11,066,207 restricted common shares of Vega-Atlantic Corporation ("Vega"), at a deemed issuance price of $0.50 per share. Vega-Atlantic Corporation is a publicly listed entity, with limited business activity, trading on the NASD OTC-BB. As of the contemplated merger date, the Company had outstanding 22,132,414 common shares, 8,200,000 warrants and 9,000,000 stock options. These securities are subject to a reverse two-to-one split under the Agreement. The Agreement was finalized on July 22, 2003.

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


4. Going Concern

Since inception, the Company has incurred cumulative net losses of approximately $4,495,000 and has a stockholders' deficit of approximately $982,000 at June 30, 2003. The Company expects to continue to incur substantial losses to develop its products and distribution networks, and does not expect to attain profitability in the near future. Since its inception, the Company has funded operations through short-term borrowings and equity investments in order to meet its strategic objectives. The Company's future operations are dependent upon external funding and its ability to increase revenues and reduce expenses. Management believes that sufficient funding will be available from additional related party borrowings and private placements following its merger to meet its business objectives including anticipated cash needs for working capital, for a reasonable period of time. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain sufficient funds to continue the development of its software products and distribution networks.

Further, since fiscal 2000, the Company has been deficient in the payment of Brazilian payroll taxes and Social Security taxes. At June 30, 2003, these deficiencies amounted to approximately $331,000, including a provision of interest and fines of approximately $59,800. This payroll liability is included as part of the accrued payroll and related expenses within the consolidated balance sheet.

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


5. Litigation

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


6. Software Development Costs

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

In accordance with FAS Statement No 86, the Company has capitalized certain of its software development costs incurred during the six months period ended June 30, 2003. The capitalized costs will be amortized starting the third quarter of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003, based on the current and future revenue for each product.


7. Segmented information

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

8. Stock Option Plan

On December 31, 2002 the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Company's 2003 incentive stock option plan. The plan is effective as of January 1, 2003 and provides for the issuance of stock options to employees, consultants and directors. On December 31, 2002, the Company's Board of Directors approved the issuance of 925,000 options under the Stock Option Plan. On June 24, 2003, the Company's Board of Directors approved the issuance of an additional 8,075,000 options [Note 11]. As per the terms of the Merger Agreement and Agreement in Principle dated June 19, 2003, these options were subject to a 2:1 split. [Note 3] These securities may dilute the earnings per share calculation in the future.

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


9. Warrants

On June 24, 2003, the Company issued 5,000,000 units of common stock to a related party, in settlement of $ 250,000 in cash advances. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share of Transax common stock at $1.00, for a period of 60 months. These securities may dilute the earnings per share calculation in the future.


10. Related Parties

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

Within the statement of operations, the following related party costs were expensed:
  • The Company incurred fees of $51,000 during the six months period ended June 30, 2003 in connection with its efforts to raise capital to a company whose officer was a director of the Company;
  • The Company incurred $66,000 in management fees to a director of the Company during the six months period ended June 30, 2003. At June 30, 2003, $40,411 was outstanding to this director;
  • The Company incurred $48,000 in consulting and management fees during the six months period ended June 30, 2003 to a company whose officer is an officer of the operating subsidiary of the Company;

11. Subsequent events

  • On August 8, 2003, the meeting of shareholders of both Vega and Transax were held. Vega's shareholders approved the following ratifications: (i) name change from Vega Atlantic Corporation to Transax International Limited ("TNSX"), (ii) the Stock Option Plan, and (iii) the reverse Stock Split. Moreover, on August 8, 2003, the shareholders of Transax approved the terms and conditions of the Agreement in Principle and of the Merger Agreement;
  • On August 14, 2003, the Merger was deemed closed, and the Board or Directors of the newly merged company (Transax International Limited, or "TNSX") approved the issuance of 11,066,207 common shares [see Note 3] pursuant to the terms of the merger. Under generally accepted accounting principles, the acquisition is considered to be a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination. That is, the acquisition is equivalent to the issuance of stock by the Company for the net monetary assets of Vega, accompanied by a recapitalization, and is accounted for as a change in capital structure. Accordingly, the accounting for the acquisition is identical to that resulting from a reverse acquisition, except that no goodwill is recorded. Under reverse takeover accounting, the comparative historical financial statements of the "legal acquiror" (Vega) are those of the "accounting acquiror" (the Company). Costs associated with reverse merger will be expensed as incurred;
  • On August 14, 2003, TNSX issued, pursuant to the merger agreement, 4,100,000 warrants. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase a share of TNSX common stock at $1.00, for a period of 5 years;
  • On August 14, 2003, TNSX issued, pursuant to the merger agreement, 4,500,000 options. Each option entitles the holder to purchase a share of TNSX common stock at $0.50, for a period of 5 years;
  • During the period July 1 2003 to September 30, 2003, Carlingford has advanced, for working capital purposes, $371,100 to Transax Limited. Interest accrues at 12% per annum;
  • On August 28, 2003, a certain stockholder exercised options and TNSX issued 1,206,730 common shares. The exercised proceeds were used to offset approximately $652,000 of outstanding debt;
  • On August 28, 2003, TNSX issued 100,000 units, at $ 1.00 per unit, in settlement of $100,000 of debt. Each unit is comprised of one common share and one half warrant. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase an additional share of TNSX's common stock at $1.50, for a period of 12 months;
  • On September 30, 2003, TNSX cancelled, in accordance with the terms of the consulting agreement with a consultant, 1,293,270 of the 2,500,000 options that had been issued to this consultant. This transaction has been recorded retroactively as of June 30, 2003.
