DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Spine Pain Management, Inc., (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) formerly known as Versa Card, Inc., was incorporated in Delaware on March 4, 1998 to acquire interests in various business operations and assist in their development. In November 2009, we changed (i) our name from Versa Card, Inc. to Spine Pain Management, Inc. and (ii) our trading symbol from "IGLB" to "SPIN." At the end of December 2008, we began moving forward to launch our new business concept of delivering turnkey solutions to spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers for necessary and appropriate treatment of musculo-skeletal spine injuries. We currently manage five spine injury diagnostic centers within the United States, which are located in Houston, Texas; McAllen, Texas; Orlando, Florida; Sarasota, Florida; and the Tampa Bay Area of Florida. In March 2013, we ceased managing a center in Jacksonville, Florida when the affiliation with our healthcare provider there ended, but we are currently negotiating with a different healthcare provider to open a new center in Jacksonville within the next few months. We are also evaluating the expansion of our services through additional spine injury diagnostic centers in multiple markets across the United States. We are a medical marketing, management, billing and collection company facilitating diagnostic services for patients who have sustained spine injuries resulting from traumatic accidents. We deliver turnkey solutions to spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers that provide necessary and appropriate treatment of musculo-skeletal spine injuries resulting from automobile and work-related accidents. Our care management services help reduce the financial burden on healthcare providers that provide patients with early-stage diagnostic testing and non-invasive surgical care, preventing many patients from being unnecessarily delayed or inhibited from obtaining needed treatment. We believe that our patient advocacy will be rewarding to patients who obtain needed relief from painful conditions. Through our care management system, we engage spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers to operate as our independent contractors to diagnose and treat patients with musculo-skeletal spine injuries. We manage the centers that provide the spine diagnostic injections and treatment and pay the doctors a fixed rate for the medical procedures they performed. After a patient is billed for the procedures performed, we take control of the patients’ unpaid bill and oversee collection. In most instances, the patient is a plaintiff in an accident case, where the patient is represented by an attorney. Typically, the defendant (and/or the insurance company of the defendant) in the accident case pays the patient’s bill upon settlement or final judgment of the accident case. The payment to us is made through the attorney of the patient. In most cases, we must agree to the settlement price and the patient must sign off on the settlement. Once we are paid, the patient’s attorney can receive payment for his or her legal fee. The clinic facilities where the spine injury diagnostic centers operate are owned or leased by third parties. We have no ownership interest in these clinic facilities and have no responsibilities towards building or operating the clinic facilities.

NOTE 1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Spine Pain Management, Inc., (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) formerly known as Versa Card, Inc., was incorporated in Delaware on March 4, 1998 to acquire interests in various business operations and assist in their development. In November 2009, we changed (i) our name from Versa Card, Inc. to Spine Pain Management, Inc. and (ii) our trading symbol from "IGLB" to "SPIN."

At the end of December 2008, we began moving forward to launch our new business concept of delivering turnkey solutions to spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers for necessary and appropriate treatment of musculo-skeletal spine injuries. We currently manage five spine injury diagnostic centers within the United States, which are located in Houston, Texas; McAllen, Texas; Orlando, Florida; Sarasota, Florida; and the Tampa Bay Area of Florida. In March 2013, we ceased managing a center in Jacksonville, Florida when the affiliation with our healthcare provider there ended, but we are currently negotiating with a different healthcare provider to open a new center in Jacksonville within the next few months. We are also evaluating the expansion of our services through additional spine injury diagnostic centers in multiple markets across the United States.

We are a medical marketing, management, billing and collection company facilitating diagnostic services for patients who have sustained spine injuries resulting from traumatic accidents. We deliver turnkey solutions to spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons and other healthcare providers that provide necessary and appropriate treatment of musculo-skeletal spine injuries resulting from automobile and work-related accidents.
