Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

The summary order was RESCINDED as to respondents Medical Connections, Inc., Joseph J. Azzata, Anthony J. Nicolosi resulting in a 90 day bar from calling Pennsylvania, and $10,000 in legal and administrative costs.

On November 30, 2005 Mr. Azzata entered into a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent (“AWC”) with the NASD. Without admitting or denying the allegations or findings and solely for the purpose of the proceeding with the NASD, prior to a hearing and without an adjudication of any issue of law or fact, Mr. Azzata agreed to the entry of findings that from about December 2002 through about July 2003, while a registered representative at NASD member Cardinal Capital Management, Inc., and under the supervision of Cardinal Capital Management, Mr. Azzata engaged in the unregistered offer and sale of 468,439 shares of CC.Net in violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. In addition, Mr. Azzata failed to appear to give testimony as requested. Mr. Azzata consented to the imposition, as a sanction, of a bar from association with any NASD member in all capacities.

Except as indicated above, no event listed in Sub-paragraphs (1) through (4) of Subparagraph (d) of Item 401 of Regulation S-B, has occurred with respect to any of our present executive officers or directors or any nominee for director during the past five years which is material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of such director or officer.

COMPENSATION OF OUR OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS

We currently have not formulated a compensation package for our non-employee directors. Any compensation package that we offer will vary depending upon the needs of both the Company and the directors. We may offer cash, common stock, and options as incentives to join our Board. We believe that equity based compensation provides more upside potential to our non-employee directors and ties their compensation to the success of the Company. On the other hand, we understand that some of our directors require a steady cash flow and will accommodate to the fullest extent possible. Once our compensation committee is established, it will be the responsibility of the compensation committee to establish guidelines for officer and director compensation.

The following tables present information about compensation of the Company’s “Officers and Director” for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF

CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of our common stock as of  October 1, 2008, on which date there were 28,484,073 shares outstanding, inclusive of any shares which could be exercised pursuant to any options or warrants owned by our officers or directors and each person known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of the outstanding shares of such class of stock, based on filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and certain other information, each of our “named executive officers” and directors, and all of our executive officers and directors as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting and investment power. In addition, under SEC rules, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of securities, which may be acquired by such person upon the exercise of options and warrants or the conversion of convertible securities within 60 days from the date on which beneficial ownership is to be determined.

Except as otherwise indicated in the notes to the following table, we believe that all shares are beneficially owned, and investment and voting power is held by the persons named as owners.

(1) Does not include 500,000 shares of Series B preferred stock which entitles the holder thereof to ten votes for each share of Series B Preferred Stock held by the holder.

Under Rule 13d-3, a beneficial owner of a security includes any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise has or shares: (i) voting power, which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of shares; and (ii) investment power, which includes the power to dispose or direct the disposition of shares. Certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more than one person (if, for example, persons share the power to vote or the power to dispose of the shares). In addition, shares are deemed to be beneficially owned by a person if the person has the right to acquire the shares (for example, upon exercise of an option) within 60 days of the date as of which the information is provided. In computing the percentage ownership of any person, the amount of shares outstanding is deemed to include the amount of shares beneficially owned by such person (and only such person) by reason of these acquisition rights. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares of any person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's actual ownership or voting power with respect to the number of shares of common stock actually outstanding on October 1, 2008. As of October 1, 2008 there were 28,484,073 shares of our common stock issued and outstanding.

Stockholders' Rights

Florida statutes provide that any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, a written consent thereto is signed by stockholders holding at least a majority of the voting power. In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding an annual meeting and in order to accomplish the purposes as herein described, the Company's Board of Directors voted to utilize, and did in fact obtain, the written consent of the holders of a majority in the interest of the Company's Common Stock and Series B Preferred Stock. When an action is authorized by written consent, a shareholders meeting is not required.

No Dissenters' Rights

Neither Florida statutes, the Company's Articles of Incorporation or By-laws provide for dissenters’ rights of appraisal in connection with the actions proposed in this Information Statement.
