You should read this summary together with the more detailed information, including our financial statements and the related notes, elsewhere in this prospectus. You should carefully consider, among other things, the matters discussed in “Risk Factors” on Page 6.

The Company

Overview

The Quantum Group, Inc. is a healthcare services company headquartered in Wellington, Florida. Our business model is to become Florida’s leading provider of support services to the healthcare industry in three complementary areas: providing leading edge healthcare to consumers; supplying support services for physicians, managed care organizations (MCOs), healthcare facilities and physician associations; and developing provider technology solutions to create a more effective and responsive healthcare system.

To serve the various business requirements, The Quantum Group is organized into three distinct yet integrated operating divisions:

·

Renaissance Health Systems (RHS)

·

Quantum Provider Support Services (PSS)

·

Quantum Medical Technology (QMT)

In the past year we negotiated full risk contracts with five MCOs, three of which are operational and the other two are in development.  Under a full risk contract, the Company will receive a monthly fee for each patient that chooses one of the Company’s physicians as their primary care physician. The fixed fee is based on a percentage of the premium the HMO receives. Revenue under this agreement is generally recorded in the period services are rendered at the rates then in effect, with quarterly adjustments. The direct medical costs are a combination of actual medical costs paid by the HMO plus a reserve for future medical costs incurred but not reported (IBNR).  One of the contracts require 300 members prior to the contract becoming full risk, which has not been achieved to date.  The other two contracts started in January 2007 and are full risk from inception.

Added services we expect to begin marketing in late 2007 includes medical staffing, payroll support services, group purchasing, and physician receivable financing to our billing customers.

RHS will continue to expand its provider network, by increasing the number of total physicians participating to a goal of 2,500 by December 31, 2007, developing a new Community Health System (CHS) in each of the targeted northern counties of Florida, adding two to three more MCO contracts, and expanding its credentialing services to hospitals. In the developing CHS counties, we will continue to add physicians to create a fully marketable network.

In 2006, our subsidiary, QMT, completed the overall design of its enterprise system of technology solutions for the physicians, hospitals, payers, and RHS. The system comprises nine different areas of services or solutions which will be provided. Each of the nine services or solutions are supported by technology solutions which are integrated to the enterprise system, which provide expanded communications, lower cost of technology services, greater information storage, and ease of use. By December 2006, QMT was providing to its sister companies utilization management, credentialing, electronic medical record (EMR) and billing software solutions. During 2007, it is anticipated that we will add a patient portal, a personal health record (PHR), receivable financing reconciliation, third party payor adjudication, disease management and several other additional solutions.

Market Opportunity

The Quantum Group operates in the healthcare industry in the state of Florida. According to the predictions of Robert W. Fogel, Nobel laureate, University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, by the year 2030 about 25 percent of the National GDP will be spent on healthcare, making it “the driving force in the economy, just as railroads drove the economy at the start of the 20th century.” (New York Times, August 22, 2006). Currently, healthcare accounts for 16% of GDP. The industry’s significant growth is largely attributed to the needs of the Baby Boomer generation who begin turning 65 in the year 2012 and will begin to utilize the federally-funded Medicare program. This generation will include more than 78 million 65-and-older Americans by the year 2030.1

In the state of Florida alone, the healthcare industry amounts to $95+ billion annually.2

RISK FACTORS

Investing in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below, together with all of the other information included or referred to in this prospectus, before purchasing units. There are numerous and varied risks, known and unknown, that may prevent us from achieving our goals. If any of these risks actually occurs, our business, financial condition or results of operations may be materially and/or adversely affected. In that case, the trading price of our securities could decline and investors in our securities could lose all or part of their investment.

Risks Relating to Our Business

We have a need for substantial additional financing.

Our inability to obtain sufficient additional financing would have a material adverse effect on our ability to implement our business plan and, as a result, could require us to diminish or suspend activities. Though we expect that this proposed secondary public offering will be fully subscribed, we can give no assurance that it will happen. The timing, size and completion of this offering will be critical in the repayment of outstanding debt, as well as to continued operations through 2007 and into 2008. We cannot be sure that these events will transpire as we have planned, and delays or changes can place us at risk of default, inability to provide services under contract and/or require us to reduce operations substantially.

We have a history of losses and cannot assure you that we will be profitable in the foreseeable future.

Since inception in 2001 through January 31, 2007, we have incurred a net loss from operations of more than $7,000,000 and a total net loss of more than $10,000,000. We do not expect our operations to be profitable in fiscal year ended October 31, 2007. If we fail to generate profits from our operations, we will not be able to sustain our business or to repay outstanding promissory notes and loans. We may never report profitable operations or generate sufficient revenue to maintain our Company as a going concern.

We have a limited operating history from which an evaluation of our future prospects can be made, particularly our ability to develop a market for our products and services.

We have been a development stage company through July 31, 2006 and have just begun to report revenue from our operations. We have experienced significant negative cash flow from operations from inception and there can be no assurance that even if and when we achieve profits from operations that we will achieve a positive cash flow. There is a limited financial history of operations from which to evaluate our future prospects, including our ability to develop a wide base of customers for our services. We may encounter unanticipated problems, expenses and delays in marketing our services and securing additional customers. If we are not successful in developing multiple product lines such as medical billing, insurance services, managed care contracting, and/or employee leasing in the next 24 months, our ability to generate sufficient revenue to sustain our operations will be adversely and materially affected.

Our independent auditors have issued a going concern opinion, which has raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

The independent auditors’ report for the year ended October 31, 2006 includes an explanatory paragraph in their audit opinion stating that our recurring losses from operations since inception and working capital deficiency raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. We remain in need of substantial additional investment capital to fund our operations.

We are subject to changes in the reimbursement rates for our provider services as well as uncertainty about the ability to collect the appropriate fees for services provided by us.

We are now, and will be in the future, dependent on reimbursements from third parties such as state and federal agencies and managed care organizations for the services which we provide. Reduction in reimbursement rates or fees could force us to stop, change or reduce operations.



6





We are dependent on key personnel and the loss of such personnel could have a material negative impact on our business.

Implementation of our business strategy is largely dependent on the efforts of two senior officers, Noel J. Guillama, Chief Executive Officer, and Donald B. Cohen, Chief Financial Officer. Furthermore, as a small company, we will likely be dependent on other executive and non-executive management and the entire Board of Directors as we grow. If, for some reason, Mr. Guillama or Mr. Cohen were not available to provide services to the Company, we believe that other individuals, within and outside the Company, could assume the operational responsibility while a permanent CEO or CFO, respectively, is found. However, the Company would be severely limited and its operations adversely affected, if a suitable replacement is not found in a timely manner. We have Key Man Life Insurance on Mr. Guillama in the amount of $6,300,000. Competition for highly qualified personnel is intense and we have very limited resources. The loss of any executive officer or other key employee or the failure to attract and retain other skilled employees could have a material adverse impact upon our business, operations or financial condition. Due to the Company’s active commitments, it is possible that in the near future the Company may not have the personnel resources available to effectively manage and control the care of patients. At which time this shortage of personnel resources could jeopardize the contracted relationships with the MCOs or increase the Company’s medical loss ratio, or both.

We face technology challenges and, if we cannot meet these challenges, our business will be negatively impacted.

We face challenges in technology development, deployment and use; medical malpractice exposure; and the fluctuation of medical costs vs. medical payments. We are depending on the use of electronic healthcare records to facilitate communication with our providers and more importantly to monitor and control our medical costs to patients by reducing unnecessary care, fraud, over utilization in the treatment of our patients, paying our providers and reporting to the payers. If we are not able to make the appropriate investment in such technology, we may not be able to create the necessary spread in gross margins between medical costs and medical payments, which may require that we redesign our model and/or experience substantial and unsustainable medical costs, jeopardizing our contracts and our business relationships.

We have secured convertible debentures due May 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007, which if not paid or converted by the maturity date, would be in default.

We have $6,050,000 in secured convertible debentures, which are secured by all the assets of Company. If we are unable to repay these obligations and the lenders do not convert into our common stock, we could be obligated to forfeit all our assets.

If we are unable to implement effective internal controls over financial reporting, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the price of our common stock.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX), which became law in July 2002, has required changes in corporate governance, securities disclosure and compliance practices of public companies. In response to the requirements of SOX, the Securities and Exchange Commission and major stock exchanges have promulgated new rules and listing standards covering a variety of subjects. We anticipate that our compliance with these new rules and listing standards is likely to increase our general and administrative costs, and we expect these expenses will continue to increase in the future. There is no precedent available by which to measure compliance adequacy. If we are not able to implement the requirements relating to internal controls and all other provisions of Section 404 in a timely fashion or achieve adequate compliance with these requirements or other requirements of SOX, we might become subject to sanctions or investigation by regulatory authorities such as the SEC or the securities exchange on which we may be trading at that time, and such actions may be injurious to our reputation and affect our financial condition and decrease the value and liquidity of our securities, including our common stock. We expect that SOX and these other laws, rules and regulations will increase legal and financial compliance costs and will make our corporate governance activities more difficult, time consuming and costly.

Violation of the laws and regulations applicable to us could expose us to liability, reduce our revenue and profitability, or otherwise adversely affect our operations and operating results.

The federal and state agencies administering the laws and regulations applicable to us have broad discretion to enforce them. We expect to be subject, on an ongoing basis, to various governmental reviews, audits, and



7





investigations to verify our compliance with our contracts, licenses, and applicable laws and regulations. An adverse review, audit, or investigation could result in any of the following:

·

cancellation of any or all of our MCO contracts;

·

loss of our right to participate in the Medicare Advantage program;

·

forfeiture or recoupment of amounts we have been paid pursuant to our contracts or performance bonds;

·

imposition of significant civil or criminal penalties, fines, or other sanctions on us and our key employees;

·

damage to our reputation in existing and potential markets;

·

increased restrictions on marketing our products and services; and

·

inability to obtain approval for future products and services, geographic expansions, or acquisitions.

Claims relating to medical malpractice and other litigation could cause us to incur significant expenses. From time to time, we may be party to various litigation matters, some of which could seek monetary damages. Managed care organizations and their affiliates may be sued directly for alleged negligence, including in connection with the credentialing of network providers or for alleged improper denials or delay of care. In addition, Congress and several states have considered, or are considering, legislation that would expressly permit managed care organizations to be held liable for negligent treatment decisions or benefits coverage determinations. Of the states in which we anticipate future operations, only Texas has enacted legislation relating to health plan liability for negligent treatment decisions and benefits coverage determinations. In addition, our providers involved in medical care decisions may be exposed to the risk of medical malpractice claims. A material percentage of these providers do not have malpractice insurance. As a result of increased costs or inability to secure malpractice insurance, the percentage of physicians who do not have malpractice insurance may increase.

In recent years physicians, hospitals and other providers in the healthcare industry have become subject to an increasing number of lawsuits alleging medical malpractice and related legal theories. Many of these lawsuits involve large claims and substantial defense costs. Once funding is secured, the Company expects to secure professional liability insurance coverage, on a claim made basis, in amounts that exceed the requirements as mandated by the State of Florida, but which may not be adequate to protect the Company's assets.

We are dependent on MCO contracts at capitated rates which are subject to yearly renewal and there is no assurance that these contracts can be renewed at favorable rates.

We intend to have a substantial part of our revenues derived from agreements with MCOs that provide for the receipt of capitated fees. Capitated fees are a negotiated percentage of total premiums collected by an insurer or payer source to cover the partial or complete healthcare services delivered to a patient. The fees are determined on a per capita basis paid monthly by managed care organizations. MCO enrollees may come from the integration or acquisition of healthcare providing entities, additional affiliated physicians and increased enrollment in each contract/region serviced by the Company. The Company intends to enter into MCO agreements which generally will be for one-year terms and subject to annual negotiation of rates, covered benefits and other terms or conditions. MCO agreements are often negotiated and executed in arrears. There can be no assurance that such agreements will be entered into, or renewed, or if entered into and/or renewed that they will contain favorable reimbursement terms to the Company and its affiliated providers. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in identifying, acquiring and integrating MCO entities or increasing the number of MCO enrollees. Once acquired, a decline in enrollees in MCOs could also have a material adverse effect on the Company's profitability.

Our profitability is based on our ability to control of healthcare costs.

Under the MCO agreements the Company, through its affiliated providers, will generally be responsible for the provision of all covered hospital benefits as well as outpatient benefits regardless of whether the affiliated providers directly provide the healthcare services associated with the covered benefits. To the extent that enrollees require more care than is anticipated, or require supplemental healthcare which is not otherwise reimbursed by the MCO, aggregate capitation rates may be insufficient to cover the costs associated with the treatment of enrollees. If



8





revenue is insufficient to cover costs, the Company's operating results could be adversely affected. As a result, the success of the Company will depend in large part on the effective management of healthcare costs through various methods, including utilization management, competitive pricing for purchased services and favorable agreements with payers. Recently, many providers have experienced pricing pressures with respect to negotiations with MCOs. There can be no assurance that these pricing pressures will not have a material, adverse impact on the operating results of the Company. Changes in healthcare practices, inflation, new technologies, major epidemics, natural disasters and numerous other factors affecting the delivery and cost of healthcare are beyond the control of the Company and may adversely affect its operating results.

In connection with hospital covered benefits, the Company will enter into a per diem arrangement with a hospital, or hospitals, whereby the Company will pay the hospital service provider a flat per diem fee for which the hospital will provide all hospital directed services. In some cases, the Company would be required to pay a percentage of usual and customary hospital charges if a capitated patient is seen or admitted in a hospital not under contract to the Company. The Company intends to seek additional hospital providers to provide covered services to MCO enrollees assigned to its affiliated physicians. To the extent that enrollees require more care than is anticipated or require supplemental care that is not otherwise reimbursed by the MCOs, aggregate capitation rates may be insufficient to cover the costs associated with the treatment of enrollees. If such revenue is insufficient, the Company's operating results could be adversely affected.

We have entered into management agreements where we are at full risk of the operations and therefore could expose us to material deficits if revenues generated are less than expenses.

The Company has entered into two management agreements with medical billing and collection organizations through our subsidiary, QMed BILLING, and has accepted a supervisory management role in the operations. To the extent that revenues do not cover the overhead of these companies, the Company is required to make up any shortfall and this may expose the Company to material deficits.

Our failure to estimate incurred but not reported (IBNR) claims accurately will affect our reported financial results.

Our medical care costs include estimates of our IBNR claims. These claims are for medical costs that are incurred in one month, but not submitted for payment until a subsequent month. We estimate our medical expense liabilities using actuarial methods based on historical data adjusted for payment patterns, cost trends, product mix, seasonality, utilization of healthcare services and other relevant factors, and in consultation with our MCO Partners. Actual conditions, however, could differ from those we assume in our estimation process. We continually review and update our estimation methods and the resulting accruals to make adjustments, if necessary, to medical expenses when the criteria used to determine the IBNR estimate changes and when actual claim costs are ultimately determined. As a result of the uncertainties associated with the factors used in these assumptions, the actual amount of medical expense that we incur may be materially more or less than the amount of IBNR originally estimated. If our estimates of IBNR are inadequate, in the future our reported results of operations will be negatively impacted. Further, our inability to estimate IBNR accurately may also affect our ability to take timely corrective actions or otherwise establish appropriate premium pricing, further exacerbating the extent of any adverse effect on our results.

The MCO agreements often contain shared-risk provisions under which additional revenue can be earned or economic penalties can be incurred based upon the utilization of hospital physicians and ancillary services by MCO enrollees. These estimates are based upon resource consumption, utilization, and associated costs incurred by MCO enrollees compared to budgeted costs. Differences between actual contract settlements and amounts estimated as receivable or payable relating to MCO risk-sharing arrangements are generally reconciled annually, which may cause fluctuations from amounts previously accrued.

Our revenues are subject to third-party reimbursement and therefore any reductions in those reimbursements could significantly reduce our revenues and profitability.

Healthcare providers that render services on a fee-for-service basis (as opposed to a capitated plan), typically submit bills to various third-party payers, such as governmental programs (e.g., Medicare and Medicaid), private insurance plans and managed care plans, for the healthcare services provided to their patients.  A portion of our future revenues is likely to be derived from payments made by these third-party payers.  These third-party payers increasingly are negotiating the prices charged for healthcare services with the goal of lowering reimbursement and utilization rates.  Our success depends, in part, on the effective management of healthcare costs.



9





This includes controlling utilization of specialty care physicians and other ancillary providers and purchasing services from third-party providers at competitive prices. There can be no assurance that payments under governmental programs, or from other third-party payers, will remain at present levels. Third-party payers can deny reimbursement if they determine that treatment was not performed in accordance with the cost-effective treatment methods established by such payers, was determined to be experimental, or for other reasons.  

Our inability to retain the Medicare Advantage Members, or our MCO partners, or increase our membership could adversely affect our results of operations.

A reduction in the number of members in our affiliated Medicare Advantage plans, or the failure to increase our membership, could adversely affect our results of operations. In addition to competition, factors that could contribute to the loss of, or failure to attract and retain, members include:

·

negative accreditation results or loss of licenses or contracts to our affiliated MCOs;

·

negative publicity and news coverage relating to us, our affiliated MCOs or the managed healthcare industry in general; and

·

litigation or threats of litigation against us or our contracted healthcare providers or our affiliated MCOs.

A disruption in our healthcare provider networks could have an adverse effect on our operations and profitability.

Our operations and future profitability are dependent, in part, upon our ability to contract with healthcare providers and provider networks on favorable terms. In any particular service area, healthcare providers, or provider networks, could refuse to contract with us, demand higher payments, or take other actions that could result in higher healthcare costs, disruption of benefits to our members, or create difficulties in meeting our regulatory or accreditation requirements. In some service areas, healthcare providers may have significant market positions. If healthcare providers refuse to contract with us, use their market position to negotiate unfavorable contracts, or place us at a competitive disadvantage, then our ability to market products, or to be profitable in those service areas, could be adversely affected. Our provider networks could also be disrupted by the financial insolvency of a large provider group. Any disruption in our provider network could result in a loss of membership or higher healthcare costs.

Our inability or failure to properly maintain effective and secure management information systems, successfully update or expand processing capability, or develop new capabilities to meet our business needs could result in operational disruptions and other adverse consequences.

Our business will depend significantly on effective and secure information systems. Once completed, the information gathered and processed by our management information systems will assist us in, among other things, marketing and sales tracking, billing, claims processing, medical management, medical care cost and utilization trending, financial and management accounting, reporting, planning and analysis and e-commerce. In the future, these systems could support on-line customer service functions, provider and member administrative functions, and support tracking and extensive analyses of medical expenses and outcome data. These information systems and applications require continual maintenance, upgrading and enhancement to meet our operational needs and handle our expansion and growth. Any inability or failure to properly maintain management information systems, successfully update or expand processing capability, or develop new capabilities to meet our business needs in a timely manner could result in operational disruptions, loss of existing customers, difficulty in attracting new customers, impairment of the implementation of our growth strategies, delays in settling disputes with customers and providers, regulatory problems, increases in administrative expenses, loss of our ability to produce timely and accurate reports, and other adverse consequences. To the extent a failure in maintaining effective information systems occurs, we may need to contract for these services with third-party management companies, which may be on less favorable terms to us and significantly disrupt our operations and information flow. Furthermore, our business requires the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks. Because of the confidential health information we store and transmit, security breaches could expose us to a risk of regulatory action, litigation, possible liability and loss. Our security measures may be inadequate to prevent security breaches and our business operations and profitability would be adversely affected by cancellation of contracts, loss of members, and potential criminal and civil sanctions if security breaches occur.



10





Our business will suffer if we fail to successfully integrate any potential acquisition or technologies in the future.

Part of our business plan is to acquire, license or joint venture other organizations’ products, services and/or technology. If we are unable to acquire and/or successfully integrate the acquisitions, this could have a material impact on our business model and/or development.

Consequently, we may not be successful in integrating acquired businesses or technologies and therefore might not be able to achieve anticipated revenue and/or cost benefits. We also cannot guarantee that these acquisitions will result in sufficient revenues or earnings to justify our investment in, or expenses related to, these acquisitions, or that any synergies will develop. The healthcare technology industry is consolidating and we expect that we will face intensified competition for acquisitions. If we fail to execute our acquisition strategy successfully for any reason, our business could suffer significantly.

Failure to satisfy HIPAA Compliance may subject the Company to fines and restrictions.

The portion of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1966 (HIPAA) that deals with patient privacy became effective April 14, 2003. These new federal health privacy regulations set a national floor of privacy protections that will reassure patients that their medical records are kept confidential. The rules, intended to ensure appropriate privacy safeguards, are in place as we utilize information technologies to improve the quality of patient care.

The new protections give patients greater access to their own medical records and more control over how their personal information is used by their health plans and healthcare providers. Patients are required to receive a notice explaining how their health plans, doctors, pharmacies and other healthcare providers use, disclose and protect their personal information. Patients now have the ability to see and copy their health records and to request corrections of any errors included in their records. Patients may file complaints about privacy issues with their health plans or providers or with the Office for Civil Rights.

If the Company, and/or its affiliates, is found in violation of HIPAA regulations, the Company could face substantial fines and restrictions including the loss of its MCO contracts.

We are subject to business disruption, which can negatively impact our business.

We are subject to business disruptions, delays in collections, or facilities closures caused by potential or actual acts of terrorism or government security concerns. Potential damages from such disruptions are impossible to anticipate and could overwhelm our operations, systems and resources. We also operate in an area of Florida that is subject to tropical hurricanes. During the 2005 hurricane season, we were closed for a total of 10 days and operated on generator power for an additional 15 days. The Company has taken reasonable precautions and will continue to expand our hurricane and disaster preparedness, but such interruptions or loss of facilities, resources or records could severely impact our business.

Industry Risks

The healthcare industry is highly regulated and failure to comply with laws or regulations, or a determination that in the past we have failed to comply with laws or regulations, could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

The healthcare services that we and our affiliated professionals intend to provide are subject to extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations governing various matters such as the licensing and certification of our facilities and personnel, the conduct of our operations, our billing and coding policies and practices, our policies and practices with regard to patient privacy and confidentiality and prohibitions on payments for the referral of business and self-referrals. If we fail to comply with these laws, or a determination is made that in the past we have failed to comply with these laws, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. Changes to healthcare laws or regulations may restrict our existing operations, limit the expansion of our business or impose additional compliance requirements. These changes could have the effect of reducing our opportunities or continued growth and imposing additional compliance costs on us that may not be recoverable through price increases.

Federal anti-kickback laws and regulations prohibit certain offers, payments or receipts of remuneration in return for referring Medicare, Medicaid or other government-sponsored healthcare program patients or patient care opportunities or purchasing, leasing, ordering, arranging for, or recommending any service or item for which



11





payment may be made by a government-sponsored healthcare program. Federal physician self-referral legislation, known as the Stark Law, prohibits Medicare or Medicaid payments for certain services furnished by a physician who has a financial relationship with various physician-owned or physician-interested entities. These laws are broadly worded and, in the case of the anti-kickback law, have been broadly interpreted by federal courts, and potentially subject many business arrangements to government investigation and prosecution which can be costly and time consuming. Violations of these laws are punishable by monetary fines, civil and criminal penalties, exclusion from participation in government-sponsored healthcare programs and forfeiture of amounts collected in violation of such laws, which could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Florida also has anti-kickback and self-referral laws, imposing substantial penalties for violations.

Competition in our industry may limit our ability to maintain or attract members, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

We operate in a highly competitive environment subject to significant changes as a result of business consolidations, new strategic alliances, and aggressive marketing practices by other managed care organizations that compete with us for members. Our principal competitors for contracts, members, and providers vary by local service area and are comprised of national, regional, and local managed care organizations that serve Medicare recipients, including, among others, UnitedHealth Group, Humana, Inc., Metcare Healthplan, America’s Health Choice, Vista Health Plans, Wellcare Healthplans and others. Our failure to maintain or attract members to our MCO Partners could adversely affect our results of operations. We believe changes resulting from the Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) may bring additional competitors into our Medicare Advantage service areas. In addition, we face competition from other managed care companies that often have greater financial and other resources, larger enrollments, broader ranges of products and benefits, broader geographical coverage, more established reputations in the national market and our markets, greater market share, larger contracting scale, and lower costs. Such competition may negatively impact our enrollment, financial forecasts, and profitability.

Negative publicity regarding the managed healthcare industry in general, or us in particular, could adversely affect our results of operations or business.

Negative publicity regarding the managed healthcare industry in general, any of our MCO Partners, or us in particular, may result in increased regulation and legislative review of industry practices that further increase our costs of doing business and adversely affect our results of operations by:

·

requiring us to change our products and services;

·

increasing the regulatory burdens under which we operate;

·

adversely affecting our ability to market our products or services; or

·

adversely affecting our ability to attract and retain members.

Government Healthcare Reform could negatively impact our revenues.

As a result of the continued escalation of healthcare costs and the inability of many individuals to obtain health insurance, numerous proposals have been or may be introduced in the U.S. Congress and state legislatures relating to healthcare reform, which include, but are not limited to, national healthcare insurance. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate content, timing or effect that any healthcare reform legislation will have on Medicare Advantage structure and government payment of medical costs. It is impossible at this time to estimate the impact of potential legislation that may be material to the Company, its operations and profitability. However, if such or similar legislation is enacted, our business operations may be adversely affected.

Risks Relating to this Offering

Future sales of our common stock, including those purchased in this offering, may cause the price of our common stock to decline.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock or the availability of a substantial number of such shares for sale could result in a decline of prevailing market price of our common stock. Upon completion of this offering, we will have outstanding 6,507,430 shares of common stock.



12





Sales in the public market of a substantial number of any of the securities mentioned in this paragraph could depress the market price of our securities and impair our ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity securities in the future at a time and price that we deem necessary or appropriate.

There has been a limited public market for our securities and our stock price could be volatile and could decline following this offering, resulting in a substantial loss in your investment.

We have had limited public market activity of our securities. An active trading market for our securities may not develop or if it develops it may not be sustained, which could affect your ability to sell your securities and could depress the market price of your securities. The stock market can be highly volatile. As a result, the market price of our common stock can be similarly volatile, and investors in our common stock may experience a decrease in the value of their stock, including decreases unrelated to our operating performance or prospects. The market price of our common stock after the offering will likely vary and is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include:

·

variations in our operating results;

·

changes in the general economy and in the local economies in which we operate;

·

the departure of any of our key executive officers and directors;

·

the level and quality of securities analysts’ coverage for our common stock;

·

announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;

·

changes in the federal, state, and local commerce and transportation regulations to which we are subject; and

·

future sales of our common stock.

We have not paid dividends in the past and do not expect to pay dividends in the future. Any return on investment may be limited to the value of our common stock.

We have never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common stock will depend on our earnings, financial condition and other business and economic factors as our Board of Directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.

We have substantial discretion as to how to use a portion of the net proceeds we will receive from this offering, and our use of these proceeds may not have favorable results.

While we currently intend to use the net proceeds of our offering of shares under this prospectus as set forth in “Use of Proceeds” below, a significant portion of the proceeds will be used for working capital purposes at our discretion. In addition, unforeseen circumstances may cause us to use the net offering proceeds for different purposes or in different amounts as compared to our current plan. The effect of our offering of shares will be to increase the capital resources available to our management, and our management will allocate these capital resources as it determines is necessary in order to enhance stockholder value. You will be relying on the judgment of our management and Board with regard to the use of these net proceeds, and the results of its investments may not be favorable. We cannot guarantee that the proceeds, if any, received will improve our operations.

The redemption of the warrants issued in this offering may require potential investors to sell or exercise the warrants at a time that may be disadvantageous for them.

Until the expiration of the warrants, we may redeem all outstanding warrants, in whole but not in part, upon not less than a 30-days notice, at a price of $.01 per warrant, provided that the closing bid price of our common stock equals or exceeds 175% of the initial unit offering price per unit for 20 consecutive trading days preceding our redemption announcement. The redemption notice must be provided not more than 30 days after conclusion of the 20 consecutive trading days in which the closing bid price of the common stock equals or exceeds 175% of the initial unit-offering price per unit. In the event we exercise our right to redeem the warrants, the warrants will be



13





exercisable until the close of business on the date fixed for redemption in such notice. If any warrant called for redemption is not exercised by such time, it will cease to be exercisable and the holder thereof will be entitled only to the redemption price of $.01 per warrant.

Notice of redemption of the warrants could force holders to exercise the warrants and, therefore, pay the exercise price at a time when it may be disadvantageous for them to do so, or to sell the warrants at the current market price when they might otherwise wish to hold the warrants, or accept the redemption price, which is likely to be substantially less than the market value of the warrants at the time of redemption. A warrant holder who fails to exercise his or her warrants after a notice of redemption will likely lose money because the redemption price of $.01 is more than likely to be less than the gain that would be realized if the holder exercised his or her warrants.

If a current prospectus, and possibly state blue sky registration, is not in place, then you will not be able to exercise warrants.

Holders of our warrants which are issued in this offering will be able to exercise their warrants only if a current registration statement relating to the shares underlying the warrants is then in effect and, if a state exemption is not otherwise available, only if the shares are qualified for sale under the securities laws of the applicable state or states. Under the terms and provisions of the underwriting agreement by and between our company and the underwriters in this offering, we have undertaken and intend to file and keep current a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants, but we cannot assure you that we will be able to do so. If required, we intend to seek to qualify such shares for sale in those states where the units are to be offered, but we cannot assure you that such qualification will occur. The warrants may be of no value if the current registration statement covering the shares underlying the warrants is not effective and available or, if required, such underlying shares are not or cannot be registered in the applicable states.

Our common stock is traded over the counter, which may result in higher price volatility.

Our common stock is not listed on any stock exchange, but is quoted in the over-the-counter market on the OTC-BB. As such, our common stock may have fewer market makers, lower trading volumes and larger spreads between bid and asked prices than securities listed on an exchange such as the American Stock Exchange. These factors may result in higher price volatility and less market liquidity for the common stock.

Because our common stock has traded below $5.00 per share, and is quoted on the OTC-BB, our stock may be considered a “penny stock” which can adversely affect its liquidity.

Because our common stock has traded at less than $5.00 per share, our common stock may be considered a “penny stock,” and trading in our common stock would be subject to the requirements of Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under this rule, brokers/dealers who recommend low-priced securities to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must satisfy special sales practice requirements. The broker/dealer must make an individualized written suitability determination for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written consent prior to the transaction.

SEC regulations also require additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a “penny stock,” including the delivery, prior to any “penny stock” transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the “penny stock” market and its associated risks. These requirements severely limit the liquidity of securities in the secondary market because few brokers or dealers are likely to undertake these compliance activities. In addition to the applicability of the “penny stock” rules, other risks associated with trading in “penny stocks” could also be price fluctuations and the lack of a liquid market.

Risks Relating to Our Organization

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Federal securities laws, which impose additional burdens on us.

We are a public reporting company and, accordingly, subject to the information and reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which we refer to as the “Exchange Act,” and other federal securities laws, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. It may be time-consuming, difficult and costly for us to develop and implement the internal controls and reporting procedures required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Some members of our management have limited or no experience operating a company whose securities are traded or listed on an exchange, nor with SEC rules and requirements, including SEC reporting practices and requirements



14





that are applicable to a publicly-traded company. We may need to recruit, hire, train and retain additional financial reporting, internal controls and other personnel in order to develop and implement appropriate internal controls and reporting procedures. If we are unable to comply with the internal controls requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we may not be able to obtain the independent accountant certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

When we account for employee stock options using the fair value method, it could significantly increase our general and administrative expenses.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (SFAS 123R), which requires a company to recognize, as an expense, the fair value of stock options and other stock-based compensation beginning in the quarter ending September 30, 2005. In April 2005, the SEC issued “Amendment to Rule 4-01(a) of Regulation S-X Regarding the Compliance Date for Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004), Share Based Payment”.  Beginning the fiscal year ending October 31, 2007, we were required to record an expense for our stock-based compensation plans using the fair value method as described in SFAS 123R, which will result in significant and ongoing accounting charges. Stock options are a key part of the compensation packages that we offer our employees. If we are forced to curtail our broad-based option program due to these additional charges, it may become more difficult for us to attract and retain employees.

These debentures can be converted into units equal to the offering units at a price equal to 70% of the offering price at the option of the holder of the debenture. Should all of the debentures be converted, the Company will issue an additional 2,659,341 shares of common stock and reallocate the proceeds to increase the funds for acquisitions by $500,000-$1,000,000, $500,000 for infrastructure and technology and the balance used for working capital.

(2)

We intend to expand our provider networks into additional counties in the State of Florida and increasing our networks in the existing counties we have networks.

(3)

We have contracts with MCOs which require letters of credit to guarantee expenditures for medical costs in excess of contracted revenue.

(4)

We intend to spend approximately $500,000 to develop enhanced software systems for patient care and physician services. Additionally, we will expand our current office space and add additional satellite offices.

(5)

We intend, from the amounts included in working capital, to allocate funds for acquisitions.  We currently do not have any agreements to acquire other companies.

The amounts and timing of our expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the results of our sales, marketing activities, competition and the amount of cash generated or used by our operations. Pending the uses described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in certificates of deposit, short-term obligations of the United States government or other money-market instruments that are rated investment grade or its equivalent. We currently estimate that the proceeds of this offering will be sufficient to enable us to meet our working capital requirements for a minimum of 12 months, depending on the rate of our expansion and our ability to achieve break-even operations.

DILUTION

If you invest in our units in this offering, you will experience dilution in your shares of common stock to the extent of the difference between the offering price attributable to each share of common stock and the pro forma, as adjusted, net tangible book value per share of common stock after this offering. For purposes of the dilution computation and the following tables, we have allocated the full purchase price of a unit to the shares of common stock included in the unit and none to the warrant.

As of January 31, 2007, we had a negative net tangible book value of $3,596,126 or $2.62 per share. The negative net tangible book value per share of common stock is determined by subtracting total liabilities from the total book value of the tangible assets and dividing the difference by the number of shares of common stock deemed to be outstanding on the date the book value is determined.

Our pro forma negative net tangible book value at January 31, 2007 was $2,393,787 or $1.26 per share, which reflects the sale Bridge units in the amount $4,325,000, the corresponding issuance of $4,325,000 of 8% Secured Convertible Debt and the issuance of 524,293 shares of common stock, subsequent to January 31, 2007. The pro forma negative net tangible book value per share of common stock is determined by subtracting total pro forma liabilities from the total pro forma tangible assets and dividing the difference by the pro forma number of shares of common stock deemed to be outstanding on the date the tangible book value is determined.

After giving effect to the sale of the Bridge units and the application of the estimated net proceeds from this offering, our as adjusted net tangible value as of January 31, 2007, would have been $10,437,713 or $1.60 per share. This represents an immediate increase in pro forma net tangible value to existing shareholders of $2.86 per share and an immediate dilution to new investors of $1.65 per share. The following table illustrates this per share dilution to new investors purchasing units in this offering.

If the underwriters exercise in full their option to purchase additional units in this offering, the as-adjusted, net tangible book value per share after the offering would be $1.73 per share, the increase in net tangible book value per share to existing shareholders would be $2.99 per share and the dilution to new investors purchasing units in this offering would be $1.52 per share.

The following table sets forth the unaudited pro forma as adjusted basis, as of January 31, 2007, the differences between the total consideration paid and the average price per share paid by existing shareholders and by the new investors purchasing units in this offering before deducting underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses paid by us:

The foregoing discussion and tables assume no exercise of any options or warrants and no issuance of shares reserved for future issuances under our equity plans. As of May 4, 2007, there were vested stock options outstanding to purchase 213,273 shares of our common stock at a weighted average exercise price of $7.05 per share and warrants outstanding to purchase 89,173 at a weighted average exercise price of $8.25 per share. To the extent that any of these options or warrants are exercised, your investment will be further diluted. In addition, we may grant options or warrants in the future, which will cause further dilution to your investment.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OR PLAN OF OPERATION

The following discussion should be read together with the information contained in the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Forward-Looking Statements and Associated Risks

The discussion in this section regarding our business and operations includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1996. Such statements consist of any statement other than a recitation of historical fact and can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate” or “continue” or the negative thereof or other variations thereof or comparable terminology. The reader is cautioned that all forward-looking statements are speculative, and there are certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ from those referred to in such forward-looking statements. This disclosure highlights some of the important risks regarding our business. The number one risk of the Company is its ability to attract fresh and continued capital to execute its comprehensive business plan. In addition, the risks included should not be assumed to be the only things that could affect future performance. Additional risks and uncertainties include the potential loss of contractual relationships, changes in the reimbursement rates for those services as well as uncertainty about the ability to collect the appropriate fees for services provided by us. Also, the Company faces challenges in technology development, attracting competent personnel, deployment and use, medical malpractice exposure and the fluctuation of medical costs vs. medical payments. The Company may also be subject to disruptions, delays in collections, or facilities closures caused by potential or actual acts of terrorism or government security concerns.

Going Concern

As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from its development and organizational activities and has negative working capital and shareholders’ deficit. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully implement its plans to generate additional investor interest and raise additional capital or, if such plans are successfully implemented, that the Company will achieve its goals.

Furthermore, if the Company is unable to raise additional funds, it may be required to modify its growth and development plans, and even be forced to severely limit development operations.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The Company’s business model is to become a provider of services to the healthcare industry in three complimentary areas: providing healthcare services to consumers; developing new technologies for the healthcare delivery system; and outsourcing administrative responsibilities for physicians, Managed Care Organizations, healthcare facilities and physician associations.

In the past year, we negotiated full risk contracts with five MCOs, three of which are operational and the other two are in development. Under a full risk contract, the Company will receive a monthly fee for each patient that chooses one of the Company’s physicians as their primary care physician. The fixed fee is based on a percentage of the premium the HMO receives. Revenue under this agreement is generally recorded in the period services are rendered at the rates then in effect, with quarterly adjustments. The direct medical costs are a combination of actual medical costs paid by the HMO plus a reserve for future medical costs incurred but not reported (IBNR). One of the contracts requires 300 members prior to the contract becoming full risk, which has not been achieved to date. The other two contracts started in January 2007 and are full risk from inception.

We have also assembled a provider relations department that has negotiated with over 1300 contracted physicians, ancillary providers and hospitals. We have established operations in most of the key Florida markets.



21





In 2006, we activated the operation of QMed BILLING (QMB) and The Quantum Agency (TQA), providing medical billing and collection and insurance services to the physician and their practice. By December 1, 2006, QMB had contracted to manage two medical billing companies with locations in South and Central Florida. It is our intent to acquire these operations upon completion of the due diligence process. In 2007, QMB will continue to acquire selected billing companies in key cities in Florida. This allows us to centralize processing tasks while maintaining local personalized service to the physicians and hospitals. We are currently in discussions with several sites to provide hospital (Part A) billing. Our billing system will require several modifications to facilitate this expanded service. It is estimated that this will take 6-12 months to accomplish.

In 2006, TQA began actively marketing its insurance agency and insurance programs to physicians throughout Florida. In 2007, TQA plans to expand its services and programs, including products designed for RHS providers.

Added services we expect to begin marketing in late 2007 includes medical staffing, payroll support services, group purchasing and physician receivable financing to our billing customers.

RHS will continue to expand its provider network by increasing the number of total physicians participating, developing a new CHS in each of the targeted northern counties of Florida, adding two or three more MCO contracts, and expanding its credentialing services to hospitals. In the developing CHS counties, we will continue to add physicians to create a fully marketable network.

In 2006, our subsidiary, QMT, completed the overall design of its enterprise system of technology solutions for the physicians, hospitals, payers, and RHS. The system comprises nine different areas of services or solutions which will be provided. Each of the nine services or solutions are supported by technology solutions which are integrated to the enterprise system, which provide expanded communications, lower cost of technology services, greater information storage, and ease of use. By December 2006, QMT was providing to its sister companies utilization management, credentialing, electronic medical record (EMR) and billing software solutions. During 2007, it is anticipated that we will add a patient portal, a personal health record (PHR), receivable financing reconciliation, third party payer adjudication, disease management and several other additional solutions.

Results of Operations

Three months ended January 31, 2007 as compared to the three months ended January 31, 2006

Revenue and Cost of Sales

Currently, approximately 81% of our revenue is derived from our provider support services and is generated from the management agreements we have with three billing companies, one of which was terminated in February 28, 2007. The terminated management agreement generated $26,443 in revenues during the first fiscal quarter. The agreements are full risk contracts whereby the Company accepts full risk of profit or loss from the operations of these billing companies.

In the table above, the gross profit from provider support systems was $143,816, or 42% of revenues, and the gross loss from the provider systems was $6,600, or 8.2%. We anticipate that the growth in the provider systems revenue will eventually grow at faster rate than the provider support services and will grow the increase of MCO members assigned to our provider network and, to a lesser degree, the acquisition of providers. The growth in the provider support services will initially be derived from acquisition, management agreements for existing businesses and joint ventures. As we develop our sales and marketing, future growth will be derived from internal growth.

Non-operating expenses increased due to the amortization of debt discount and financing costs related to the debt financing incurred.

Operating expense for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 increased $1,111,124 or 61.0% as compared to the fiscal year ended October 31, 2005. The increase was primarily from an increase in salaries and employee costs of $544,081. The Company has expanded its personnel to service the expansion of the provider network and the corporate staff to support the operations. Non-operating expenses increased due to the amortization of debt discount and financing costs related to the debt financing incurred.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had negative net working capital as January 31, 2007 of approximately $3,696,000 as compared to negative net working capital of $2,652,000 at for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, an increase of $1,044,000. The increase in the negative working capital was primarily due the issuances of 8% Secured Convertible Debentures relating to the sale of Bridge Units during the period. Our working capital needs, over the past year, have been generated from the issuance of notes payable and the issuance of the Debentures. We currently have a total of $6,050,000 in 8% Secured Convertible Debentures which are due May 30, 2007 and June 30, 2007. These debentures will be either converted into common stock at the time of the offering or will be paid off from the proceeds of this offering.

Cash flows generated from the provider systems will be limited over the next year to two years. Currently, the MCOs pay all direct medical costs associated with members assigned to our provider network from the revenue due us. If the revenue exceeds the medical costs, the positive cash flow is retained by the MCO until the reserves required for medical costs incurred but not reported (IBNR) are sufficient to calculate reserve requirements. We believe the working capital to be generated from this offering will be sufficient to bring us to positive cash flow from the provider systems operations.

Our development plan includes the identification of, negotiation with, and acquisition or joint venturing of businesses and services that will allow us to provide comprehensive provider network services including medical management systems, billing and collection, and other complementary services that will allow the small- to medium-size medical organization to provide better care, better medical outcomes and earn more profit. We expect to acquire, or joint venture with, candidate businesses after extensive due diligence. If the candidate business is to be acquired, we expect to secure financing for the acquisition by selling common and/or preferred shares, issuing debt or notes, and by leveraging the potential acquisition.

There is no assurance that we will be able to execute on our plans. To continue our operations and complete the implementation of our current business plan, we will require significant additional long-term financing. There are no assurances that such financing will be available, or if available, it will be on terms acceptable to the Company. Any financing may result in significant dilution.

Industry information

National Healthcare Industry Overview

Current healthcare spending in the United States accounts for 16% of the nation’s gross domestic product (GDP).1 Healthcare is the only net growth sector over the last 10 years, as Healthcare spending has risen from 13.7% (1995) of GDP to 16% (2005), while housing, food, technology, auto and defense have remained flat as a percent of GDP.2 Furthermore, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that healthcare spending has reached almost $2 trillion (2005).3 This represents an average of over $6,697 for each person in the United States.4 By 2015, it is projected that total healthcare spending will be $4.0 trillion (20% of GDP).5 By 2030, predicts Robert W. Fogel, Nobel laureate, University of Chicago Graduate School of Business, about 25 percent of the GDP will be spent on healthcare, making it the driving force in the economy, just as railroads drove the economy at the start of the 20th century.” (New York Times, August 22, 2006)

[quantumsb2005.gif]

As the largest industry in 2004, health care provided 13.5 million jobs—13.1 million jobs for wage and salary workers and about 411,000 jobs for self-employed and unpaid family workers. About 92 percent of wage and salary jobs were in private industry; the rest were in State and local government hospitals. The majority of jobs for self-employed and unpaid family workers in healthcare were in offices of physicians, dentists, and other health practitioners—about 282,000 out of the 411,000 total self-employed. Health care jobs are found throughout the country, but they are concentrated in the states with the largest population—in particular, California, New York, Florida, Texas, and Pennsylvania.

According to President Bush’s Technology Agenda - Promoting Innovation and Competitiveness, today we spend $300 billion in healthcare that is unnecessary, inappropriate, ineffective or inefficient. Further, a study conducted in 2005 by the Center for Health Statistics, a division of the North Carolina Division of Public Health, concluded that 11% of hospitalizations could have been avoided with primary care intervention. (Triangle Business Journal. 2005, Jan. 14)

Recent Developments Effecting the Future of Healthcare Technology

Attendees at the World Health Care Congress were asked about the most significant opportunities that their organization can pursue during the next two years; 79% responded that greater emphasis on data-driven clinical care or the development of portable shared electronic health records were needed.1

During a speech February 2004 at the World Health Care Congress in Washington, D.C., Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thompson said, “Four years into the 21st century, the healthcare industry still depends on pencils, papers, manila folders, and memo sheets as primary tools for getting its work done.” He further said, “The nation’s healthcare delivery system needs to more widely incorporate business practices used in other industries, especially information technology.” In the same speech, Thompson told attendees that supermarket clerks rely on technology to ensure they give customers the right change without mistakes. Yet, the Institute of Medicine estimates that 98,000 patients die, and even more are disabled each year, due to errors that can be largely prevented by technologies such as computerized prescription ordering, drug bar-code systems, and electronic patient medical records. The adoption of those and other technologies in healthcare “could save the U.S. $100 billion” a year through reduced deaths and disabilities. Because the government’s Medicare program makes the federal government “the country’s largest insurance company, the feds are taking a lead role in trying to make it easier for more healthcare providers to adopt these technologies. The ability to share patient information electronically can help doctors and other providers to make better-informed decisions and spot potential mistakes before they happen. However, without data and other technical standards, the sharing of patient information electronically among health providers is often difficult or impossible”.2

Today, there is a greater emphasis than ever placed on issues of patient safety and the prevention of medical errors, competition in clinical care quality and IT innovation, as well as heightened awareness of the urgency to implement digital security measures and compliance strategies. We believe that these factors, combined with changes in federal, state and commercial/private payer reimbursement, slowed growth of Medicare payments, the aging of the U.S. population and the growing acceptance of the Internet and web-based technologies, and spurred by the increasingly vocal demands of consumers for quality care, will result in continued dramatic change in the healthcare industry.

Company Observations of the Industry

Presently, we also see that there are limited resources for physicians or medical providers to turn to for help in meeting all the demands placed on them by the business and the healthcare environment. These are highly paid consultants that could be represented by large accounting and large consulting firms, or the local cottage industry of healthcare consultants that range from HR functions to accounting and tax work, generally specializing in one or two areas and stretching to meet the ever increasing needs of their clients.

The changing business environment has produced an evolving range of strategic and operating options for healthcare entities. In response, healthcare participants are formulating and implementing new strategies and tactics, redesigning business processes and workflows, acquiring better technology to improve operations and patient care, integrating legacy systems with web-based technologies, developing e-commerce abilities and adopting or remodeling customer service, patient care and marketing programs. We believe that healthcare participants will continue to turn to outside consultants to assist in this vast array of initiatives for the following reasons: the pace of change is eclipsing the capacity of their own internal resources to identify, evaluate and implement the full range of options and consultants enable healthcare participants to develop better solutions in less time and can be more cost effective. By employing outside expertise, healthcare providers can often improve their ability to compete by more rapidly deploying new processes.

The healthcare consulting industry is highly fragmented and consists primarily of:

·

Larger systems integration firms, including the consulting divisions of the national accounting firms and their spin-offs, which may or may not have a particular healthcare focus or offer healthcare consulting as one of several specialty areas;

·

Healthcare information system vendors that focus on services relating to the software solutions they offer;

·

Healthcare consulting firms, many of which focus on selected specialty areas, such as strategic planning or vendor-specific implementation;

·

Large general management consulting firms that may or may not specialize in healthcare consulting and/or do not offer systems implementation; and

·

Boutique firms that offer one or two specialized services, or who service a particular geographic market.

In response to escalating expenditures in healthcare costs, MCOs have increasingly pressured physicians, hospitals and other providers to contain costs. This pressure has led to the growth of lower cost outpatient care and reduction of hospital admissions and lengths of stay. To further increase efficiency and reduce the incentive to provide unnecessary healthcare services to patients, payers have developed a reimbursement structure called percentage of premium (POP). POP contracts require the payment to healthcare providers of a fixed amount per patient for a given patient population. The providers assume responsibility for servicing all of the healthcare services needs of those patients, regardless of their condition. We believe that low cost providers will succeed in the POP environment because such companies have the ability to manage the cost of patient care.

The highly fragmented nature of the delivery of outpatient services has created an inefficient healthcare services environment for patients, payers and providers. MCOs and other payers must negotiate with multiple healthcare services providers, including physicians, hospitals and ancillary services providers, to provide geographic coverage to their patients. Physicians who practice alone or in small groups have experienced difficulty negotiating favorable contracts with managed care companies and have trouble providing the burdensome documentation required by such entities. Healthcare service providers may lose control of patients when they refer them out of their network for additional services that such providers do not offer. We will continue affiliating with physicians who are sole practitioners or who operate in small groups to staff and expand our CHS enabling us to be a provider of choice to MCOs.

Medicare

Currently, Medicare covers nearly 43 million Americans, approximately 14% of the United States population.1 The birth of the Medicare program in 1965 was forged for a beneficiary population of 19.1 million (1966).2 Today, we recognize that this program will be responsible for providing healthcare for more than 78 million Americans by the year 2030.3 This drastic growth is attributable to the “Baby Boomers” who are rapidly beginning to reach this milestone age.

Medicare benefits are expected to total $374 billion in 2006, a figure, which according to the Congressional Budget Office represents 14% of the federal budget. Further, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) expects that with the aging population and the new drug benefit, net federal spending on Medicare will rise from approximately $331 billion in 2006 to approximately $524 billion in 2011. Medicare spending as it relates to GDP is expected to rise from 2.7 percent in 2005 to 4.7 percent in 2020. 4

According to The Kaiser Family Foundation, while the number of people on Medicare will rise from 40 million to 78 million, the number of workers to support these beneficiaries is projected to decline from 4.0 workers per beneficiary to 2.4 workers per beneficiary.5 Ensuring the financial stability of this program, while meeting the healthcare needs of this dominant, aging population is a significant challenge.

Medicare Advantage: Projected Growth in Federal Spending & Enrollment

[quantumsb2007.gif]

Medicare Advantage

Medicare Advantage plans today are quickly gaining popularity due to their lower out-of-pocket costs and access to a greater number of covered services. However, from 1999 until 2003, enrollment followed a downward trend.1 With Medicare payments to Managed Care Organizations rising two percent annually, many insurance executives decided that they could no longer do business with the program because their Medicare-related costs were rising about 10 percent a year. As a result, during this time period health plans dropped more than 2.4 million Medicare beneficiaries. Some withdrew from Medicare entirely, while others curtailed their participation by withdrawing from specific counties.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) predicted publicly that as a result of increased payments, which took effect March 1, 2004, many private plans would return to the Medicare program. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) reported that payments to private health plans in the Medicare Advantage program increased from about $40 billion in 2004 to about $56 billion in 2006. CBO further projects that those payments will increase to $75 billion in 2007; $194 billion by 2017; and will total $1.5 trillion over the 2007-2017 periods.2 Today, approximately 19% of the total Medicare population is enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan. The number of Medicare enrollees in private health plans increased from 5.3 million (across 285 contracts) in 2003 to 8.3 million (across 604 contracts) as of February 2007.3

Business Strategy

Corporate History

The Quantum Group, Inc. is a Nevada corporation created for the sole purpose to reorganize and change the domicile of the predecessor company, Transform Pack International, Inc. Transform Pack was originally formed as a Minnesota corporation in February 1975 under the name Automated Multiple Systems, Inc., subsequently changed its name to Stylus, Inc., and then changed its name to Cybernetics, Inc. in December 1997. On May 28, 2003, Transform Pack completed the acquisition of Quantum HIPAA Consulting Group, Inc.; a Florida Corporation based in Wellington, Florida and changed the Company name to The Quantum Group, Inc. Quantum HIPAA Consulting Group was in the business of advising the healthcare industry on the implementation of regulations created to comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). For accounting purposes, the acquisition of Quantum HIPAA Consulting Group was treated as a reorganization. Prior to the acquisition of Quantum HIPAA Consulting Group, there was no affiliation or other relationship between Transform Pack and Quantum HIPAA Consulting Group. Since Transform Pack no longer had any business or management connection with the state of Minnesota, the Board of Directors determined late in 2003, that the corporation could benefit from changing its domicile to a state such as Nevada. With the ratification by the shareholders of the Company on January 30, 2004, completed in February 2004, the Company changed its domicile to Nevada.

Mission, Vision and Values

Mission Statement: To identify and pursue leading edge opportunities within the healthcare industry, to develop efficient and cost effective healthcare solutions, to manage our patient’s treatment outcomes through a wellness concept.

Vision Statement: The Company seeks to develop productive, cost effective and innovative healthcare solutions through the integration of products, services, and technology, and partnering with healthcare professionals thus permitting the healthcare professional to effectively deliver highly personal, quality-focused healthcare services in a cost effective and profitable manner.

Values Statement: Provide leadership to our industry, our community and our employees; provide our patients with the products and services needed to ensure their wellness; and to ensure adherence to a high standard of corporate governance and ethics.

Corporate Structure

From inception, management’s efforts have been primarily focused on negotiations of managed care contacts, contracting a base of physicians, building support staff, market research, business development, developing a utilization team, developing system procedures and training personnel, and due diligence on potential acquisitions, joint ventures and licensing agreements. In other types of industries, all of these may have been referred to as research and development. In healthcare, it is generally referred to as infrastructure development.

Today, The Quantum Group is an assemblage of companies which span the most important segments of the healthcare industry. The company, from its conception, has been designed to encompass a multi-faceted approach that provides quality care and wellness outcomes to patients, and a lower cost of operation with greater efficiency and effectiveness to physicians and healthcare facilities.



31





To serve the various business requirements, The Quantum Group is organized into three distinct yet integrated operating divisions:

·

Provider Systems

·

Provider Support Services

·

Provider Technology Solutions

[quantumsb2017.gif]

Provider Systems

Renaissance Health Systems

Renaissance Health Systems (RHS) (Provider Systems) contracts with Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) in Florida to coordinate the delivery of healthcare services via its proprietary model, the Community Health System (CHS), generally, in return for a percentage of Medicare premiums received by the MCO. We deliver our services through a network of over 1,300 affiliated physicians in south and central Florida, an area that represents 22 counties, with access to over 50 hospitals. As we expand further into Florida, we anticipate securing an additional 1,200 individual providers over the next twelve months. The 22 counties represent 77.0% of the Florida Medicare eligible population, of which 25.2% are currently enrolled in Medicare Advantage plans. Our expansion plans include the development of six additional counties by December 31, 2007, which will represent a total of 82.3% of the aforementioned statewide Medicare eligible population.

We expect that most of our revenue will be derived, directly or indirectly, from medical services to Medicare Advantage members. Medicare is offered to eligible beneficiaries on a fee-for-service basis or through a managed care plan that has contracted with CMS pursuant to the Medicare Advantage program. We believe that the projected favorable Medicare Advantage enrollment trends and the reforms proposed by the Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) will have a positive impact on our Medicare Advantage plans.

The Community Health System

RHS has developed a new model for managing the relationship between and among patients, providers, and insurers: the Community Health System (CHS). Geographically speaking, the CHS represents a county-wide network of Providers who care for the Medicare Advantage patients within their area. Philosophically speaking, in a



32





CHS, the patient is recognized as the true consumer of healthcare services. The doctor and patient, jointly make the critical decisions, not the MCO. Patients are actively involved in the improvement of their own well-being. We not only help and facilitate treating the sick, but proactively keep the patient healthy, thus reducing the overall costs for the patient and the industry. RHS will pay physicians to keep their patients healthy, and also intends to provide incentives to the patient at the end of each year for actively participating in his or her own health improvement.

MCO Arrangements

Similar companies engage in exclusive contracts with one managed care organization (in rare cases two). To date, we have negotiated contracts with five MCOs, four of which are operational; the remaining is currently in development. One operational contract started to accept patients in September 2005 in Volusia County, Florida, with Dade and Broward Counties later added in January 2006. Two other MCO contracts became operational December 1, 2006, and the last in January 2007. Further, the Company has been engaged in negotiations with additional MCOs. The Renaissance model allows for contracts with a multitude of MCOs thereby increasing its reach, diversification and potential for continued growth.

The terms of the active contracts detail that RHS will be responsible for arranging a Community Health System in named Florida counties. The contracts differ in terms regarding the type of delivery system and the way the capitations are set up, in addition to the way in which membership is established. The agreements call for RHS to collect a percentage of premiums received by the MCO from Medicare.

MCO enrollees may come to RHS from internal marketing, assignment by MCOs, the integration or acquisition of healthcare providing entities, as well as continuous additions of affiliated physicians to our network. We intend to enter into additional MCO agreements, which generally will be for a one-year term and subject to annual negotiation of rates, covered benefits and other terms and conditions. MCO agreements are often negotiated and executed in arrears.

Credentialing

Part of our responsibility in our current MCO contracts is to certify physician credentials. The RHS credentialing department became operational in September 2005. Credentialing is part of the underwriting process that the healthcare provider undergoes to participate with RHS. RHS has agreed contractually to perform “Delegated Credentialing” functions. The MCO delegates the credentialing process to RHS in order to proceed with contract negotiations. RHS must comply with all regulatory requirements and strict guidelines that the MCO is subjected to by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) and CMS. The MCO will perform periodic audits to ensure compliance.

When Providers contract with various MCOs, each MCO has its own, unique credentialing process with which they must comply. By participating with RHS, the provider only has to complete one credentialing application and undergo one credentialing process regardless of how many MCOs he/she participates with through RHS.

By performing the delegated credentialing functions, RHS has the ability to expedite and control the processing time when the MCO requests to submit a specific county for approval to CMS. This is consistent with our model where RHS establishes a direct relationship with the Provider. It is also an advantage that RHS does not have to rely on the Healthcare Plan’s processes to initiate a Provider.

RHS utilizes National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) compliant software to manage this process. Currently, the credentialing service is extended to RHS Physicians. The Company is exploring the possibility of providing the service to hospitals.

We have established a Credentialing Committee for the purpose of making recommendations to approve or deny Provider participation in RHS. The Credentialing Committee is made up of practicing physicians with participation by the President and Vice President of RHS.

Renaissance Hospital Associates

The purpose of Renaissance Hospital Associates (RHA) is to manage patient care from admittance through release when hospital care is required. This service alleviates the time demands on PCPs imposed by rounds and the continual monitoring required to provide effective and efficient patient care. Further, RHA manages the



33





communications and coordination of data transfer and treatment costs to the PCP to ensure the completeness of the patient’s health record. Additionally, RHA redirects patients to urgent care centers for non-emergency care needs. Renaissance Hospital Associates began providing its services in early 2007 and is a key component of the Company’s comprehensive enterprise system as it is an added measure towards controlling costs and redundancy, as well as insuring quality and appropriate patient care.

Renaissance Administrative Solutions, Inc. (RASI)

Renaissance Administrative Solutions, Inc. is currently in its development stage. RASI is intended to provide Third Party Administration (TPA) services, which are anticipated to be available by late 2007. A Third Party Administrator provides adjudication of claims and prompts payment of provider services rendered. The benefit to the Company providing this service is two-fold; 1) it provides an additional revenue stream for the Company and 2) when integrated with our enterprise approach it will be provide an overall improvement on denial rates and days sales outstanding (DSO), thus improving cash flow and revenues realized by our providers.

[quantumsb2019.gif]

“Traditional Model” versus the “Quantum Model”.


The “traditional model” is typically used by Management Services Organizations (MSO). In this approach, the MSOs contract with one (in rare cases two) Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), also commonly known as a Health Maintenance Organizations (HMO), to manage the care of patients. The MCO builds the network and maintains ownership of the relationship with the Provider. The MSO then manages the care of the patients who are subscribed to the MCOs plan, utilizing the contracted Providers.

The MSO fulfills a service management role only, and is dependent upon the relationship with the single MCO/HMO for its revenue and profitability.

Our “Quantum Model” utilizes our own resources to contract with and support the providers directly; thereby creating a fully independent and stand alone provider system. We contract with multiple MCOs for our network and take responsibility for the relationship, servicing and credentialing with the provider.  If a contract with an MCO is terminated, we continue to maintain the value of our Community Health System (provider system or CHS) as we use our CHSs for the other MCOs with whom we are contracted. We believe the Quantum Model balances the power more equally between the MCO and the MSO, and generates a greater opportunity for stability, lower medical expenses and thus higher revenue potential. Through our model, we offer the MCO the opportunity to expand in to other markets quickly and with a lower start-up cost. Our model is beneficial for providers as well as they need only contact us for any needs or issues they may have with the payers with whom we are contracted, versus contacting multiple MCOs themselves.

Provider Support Services

Quantum Provider Support Services

Quantum Provider Support Services (PSS) provides healthcare support services, systems, technology solutions and management to physicians, labs, nursing homes, clinics and hospitals. The Company intends to strategically address many of the administrative needs of physicians, physician associations, testing facilities and hospitals that bring increased and highly valued efficiencies to this rapidly growing industry and allow the provider to focus on quality patient care.

We intend to provide a broad range of management systems, products and services to the healthcare community; consisting primarily of individual and small physician practices, ancillary providers and other small to mid-size healthcare facilities including hospitals. We believe that this is a highly underserved market, and when these businesses do receive management system services it is usually in a fragmented, sporadic and inefficient manner.

We intend to design solutions to enable clients to reap the benefits of their investments in new systems and information technology by improving financial performance, increasing clinical and administrative productivity and enhancing clinical performance.

To address the increased industry-wide focus on patient safety, clinical excellence, compliance with security regulations and financial performance, our Company’s ongoing mission is to design solutions that give the healthcare industry the tools and strategies they need to serve their customers effectively, improve the quality and safety of clinical care, secure and authenticate online healthcare transactions, reduce cost and ensure compliance with evolving government and industry requirements, including HIPAA and CCHIT (Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology).

Through our management team’s knowledge and experience in healthcare operations and workflow, IT and clinical systems, we intend to work with clients to leverage their existing systems and processes to accelerate their return on investments of assets and time. Our goal is to be the preferred, if not sole, provider of a broad range of support services and consulting solutions for each of our clients.

We intend to deliver a number of solutions designed to enhance the physician’s communications, workflow, patient wellness, and practice profitability. The purpose of these solutions is to act as a component of the Community Health System enterprise system. The Company utilizes our subsidiaries QMed BILLING (QMB) and The Quantum Agency (TQA) to deliver a number of the solutions.

The solutions currently delivered are:

·

QMed BILLING, Inc. – Medical Billing and Collection Services

QMed BILLING, Inc. (QMB) was incorporated in the State of Florida on May 8, 2006. QMB’s plan is to satisfy the medical billing and collection needs of physicians and hospitals throughout the state through the use of healthcare technology and strategically located regional business offices. In the past year, QMB has entered into two Management Agreements with Florida based billing and collection companies serving the Southern and Central Florida regions. The Company has begun conducting the appropriate due diligence and pre-closing process necessary to facilitate full acquisitions. QMB expects to close these acquisitions within the next few months. The Company plans to continue to seek potential acquisitions of medical billing companies to complete certain portions of its strategic plan.

Our goal is to provide high quality and timely services that enable physicians to improve their practices. QMB provides services through traditional systems and through a new fully electronic, integrated system consisting of an advanced electronic health record (EHR) and a billing claims system. To help improve physician practices, QMB utilizes the electronic processing systems to more efficiently and timely process claims and collect payments.

Superbills, created and sent electronically in real time or batch mode, allow for improvement in the collection time for most physicians by 2-7 days. For high volume accounts, the time savings could be even greater. QMB is able to service any account in Florida from our two operation centers. In January 2007, QMB began marketing the combined solutions of EMR and billing under the Company’s “Q-Care”sm system.

QMB services include:

·

Processing physician prepared superbills into valid medical claims

·

Electronically forwarding the claim to the appropriate payer (insurance, government, private)

·

Recording collections from all sources and preparing account receivable reports for the physician

·

Preparation of Encounter Reports to CMS

·

Invoicing for patient portion of charges

·

Collection activities

·

Follow up on denials and re-filing the claim

·

Interfacing with payers regarding claim issues

·

Advising physicians as to coding requirements and regulation/rate changes

·

Providing an audit trail if the Physician utilizes the EMR/Billing solution

·

Provide accumulation and preparation of data for the Physician Quality Reporting Index (PQRI)

The Quantum Agency, Inc. – Insurance Agency

The Quantum Agency (TQA) was incorporated in the State of Florida on October 20, 2003 to serve as an insurance broker exclusively to physicians in Florida. TQA specializes in the insurance programs most beneficial to medical practices and individual physicians. We offer an array of products including property/casualty liability, health savings accounts, workers’ compensation, individual health plans, malpractice, group health, life, disability and more.

The Quantum Agency has signed Memorandums of Understanding with multiple agents to service our clients. Each agent specializes in specific insurance products and  has agreed to assist in the development and implementation of programs tailored for the needs of our RHS providers. In addition, TQA has agreements with certain MCOs to assist in the recruitment of members.

Periodic free risk assessments will be offered to the physician and his practice and/or personal requirements.

Provider Technology Solutions

Quantum Medical Technologies, Inc.

Quantum Medical Technologies (QMT) was incorporated in January 18, 2000 to create a new model for managing information in the medical industry. In addition to acquiring and developing medical technologies to provide solutions in managed care, Quantum Medical Technologies was created to support the continued growth and development of RHS and PSS, in addition to acquiring licensing and developing medical technologies to provide solutions in managed care organizations, hospitals and physician support services - including medical billing, web services, and electronic health record management. As a result, we are growing an integrated practice management platform that will provide a full Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) compliant health information system to connect physicians with their patients, hospitals, and payers. The opportunity is to leverage and cross-market this platform into the existing client base of RHS, as well as those physicians and future hospitals utilizing the support services offered by The Quantum Group. QMT has also recently developed a new aggregation of medical billing and electronic health records under the brand name of Q-Care sm systems.



37





A key component of QMT includes a business process branded as Cybernaptic sm which connects all of the “touch points” of healthcare in an “enterprise technology environment”, utilizing Application Service Provider (ASP), web based platforms. Cybernaptic sm will allow QMT clients to choose any combination of technical and software support. This will include: (i) full support servicing with data center consolidation, (ii) 24/7/365 network monitoring and help desk through our network control center, as well as (iii) facility management, application unification, application support servicing and interim management of the entire IT operations.

The healthcare technology environment is increasingly complex and costly as a result of the challenges inherent in developing and/or deploying new technologies to meet the growing needs of the industry and new objectives designed to improve clinical quality and patient safety. Maintaining or integrating legacy computer systems and deploying an IT function capable of achieving regulatory compliance, ensuring secure digital transactions, improving business operations and the revenue cycle as well as reducing supply costs proves to be costly and inefficient. As a result, we believe that the healthcare industry will continue to increase the percentage of its budget devoted to new technology solutions.

Computer-based patient record systems (electronic health records) and other technologies in the healthcare delivery process can enable organizations to improve their bottom line. These technologies help healthcare organizations reduce costs through clinical and supply chain efficiencies; enhance communications with physicians, patients, payers and other constituencies; improve care delivery and patient safety; and streamline activities such as claims processing, eligibility verification and billing. QMT is developing its “Q-Care”sm system, an enterprise solutions system, to help healthcare organizations reduce costs through clinical and supply chain efficiencies, improve care delivery and patient safety, and streamline administrative activities such as claims processing, eligibility verification and billing.

We believe that healthcare providers and facilities will continue to turn to outside consultants, external management of formerly internal information systems, application support and full support servicing arrangements as a means of coping with the financial and technical demands of information systems management and integration of web-based solutions. QMT is ahead of the industry in recognizing and developing the first of its kind ASP, web based Community Health System enterprise system. Through business services offered by the Company through our “Q-Caresm system, we provide flexible business processes, technology outsource solutions and operations management. Through “Q-Caresm clients can achieve their business process and information technology goals while remaining focused on expanding their primary business and reducing related capital outlay.

QMT licensed an electronic medical record (EMR) and an integrated billing system for use by physicians and QMed BILLING. It is an ASP, web based platform utilizing knowledge based workflow methodology familiar to physicians. The solution was developed to meet the latest industry standards and will be undergoing the 2007 CCHIT (Certification Commission for Healthcare Information Technology)certification examination. It also contains the ability to receive and send information in the HL7 and X12 formats, thus allowing physicians to transfer data and tests to and from hospitals and labs. Further, QMT developed a utilization management (UM) program which allows the Renaissance patient care coordination team to manage its patient base. Combined with the EMR, the UM program creates the core of the “Q-Caresm system. Additional elements of the system will include:

·

Disease Management

·

Patient Health Record

·

Case Management

·

HMO Plan Administration

·

Physician Accounting System

·

A/R Financing Reporting and Reconciliation

·

Management and Clinical Reporting

·

Data transfer from hospitals and labs to physician

QMT provides in-house web services in developing and maintaining web sites for RHS and Quantum needs, and several county medical associations. In December 2006, QMT installed a credentialing program,



38





allowing Renaissance to credential its physicians for all MCO plans contracted. This service will be extended to hospitals in which RHS physicians hold or seek “active privileges.”

The Company seeks to assemble the solutions which become part of the Community Health Enterprise System. A number of additional solutions have been identified that the Company will acquire, or internally develop, to support the RHS and Quantum Medical Management’s operations.

[quantumsb2021.gif]

A represented above, our Provider Support Services (PSS) was designed to provide healthcare support services, systems, technology solutions and management to our Provider System. In the example above we picture how our own contracted providers who, as illustrated on page 34, we showed as supporting our MCO operations, now can also  contract with us to strategically address many of their administrative needs. We believe that this model brings increased and highly valued efficiencies to this rapidly growing industry, allows the provider to focus on quality patient care, and allows us to build on an relationships we have already established.

Our Employees

We currently have 27 full-time employees at the Company’s executive offices in Wellington, Florida. No employees of the Company are covered by a collective bargaining agreement or are represented by a labor union. The Company considers its employee relations to be good.

Government Regulation

As a player in the healthcare industry, the Company’s operations and relationships are subject to extensive and increasing regulation by a number of governmental entities at the federal, state and local levels. The Company has structured its operations to be in material compliance with applicable laws. There can be no assurance that a review of the Company’s, or the affiliated physician’s business, by courts or regulatory authorities will not result in a determination that could adversely affect the operations of the Company, or the affiliated physicians, or that the healthcare regulatory environment will not change so as to restrict the Company’s, or the affiliated physicians’, existing operations or their expansion.

The laws of many states prohibit business corporations such as the Company from practicing medicine and employing physicians to practice medicine. In Florida, non-licensed persons or entities, such as the Company, are prohibited from engaging in the practice of medicine directly. However, Florida does not prohibit such non-licensed persons or entities from employing or otherwise retaining licensed physicians to practice medicine so long as the Company does not interfere with the physician’s exercise of independent medical judgment in the treatment of patients. The laws in most states, including Florida, regarding the corporate practice of medicine have been subjected to limited judicial and regulatory interpretation and, therefore, no assurances can be given that the Company’s activities will be found to be in compliance, if challenged.

There are also state and federal civil and criminal statutes imposing substantial penalties, including civil and criminal fines and imprisonment, administrative sanctions and possible exclusion from Medicare and other governmental programs on healthcare providers that fraudulently or wrongfully bill governmental or other third party payers for healthcare services. The federal law prohibiting false billings allows a private person to bring a civil action in the name of the United States government for violations of its provisions. Moreover, technical Medicare and other reimbursement rules affect the structure of physician and ancillary billing arrangements. The Company believes it will always be in material compliance with such laws, but there is no assurance that the Company’s activities will not be challenged or scrutinized in the future by courts or governmental authorities. Noncompliance with such laws may adversely affect the operation of the Company and subject it to penalties and additional costs.

Certain provisions of the Social Security Act, commonly referred to as the “Anti-Kickback Statute,” prohibit the offer, payment, solicitation, or receipt of any form of remuneration in return for the referral of Medicare or state health program patients or patient care opportunities, or in return for the recommendation, arrangement, purchase, lease or order of items or services that are covered by Medicare or state health programs. The Anti-Kickback Statute is broad in scope and has been broadly interpreted by courts in many jurisdictions. Read literally, the statute places at risk many business arrangements, potentially subjecting such arrangements to lengthy, expensive investigations and prosecutions initiated by federal and state governmental officials. Violation of the Anti-Kickback Statute is a felony, punishable by significant fines and/or imprisonment. In addition, the Department of Health and Human Services may impose civil penalties excluding violators from participation in Medicare or state health programs.

The federal Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) expands the government’s resources to combat healthcare fraud, creates several new criminal healthcare offenses, and establishes a new advisory opinion mechanism under which the Office of Inspector General is required to respond to requests for interpretation of the Anti-Kickback Statute, in an effort to bring clarity and relief to the uncertainty of the Anti-Kickback Statute. Due to the newness of the legislation, it is impossible to predict the impact of the new law on the Company’s operations.

Congress, in the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, enacted significant prohibitions against physician referrals. These prohibitions, commonly known as “Stark II,” amended prior physician self-referral legislation known as “Stark I” by dramatically enlarging the field of physician owned or physician interested entities to which the referral prohibitions apply. Effective January 1, 1995, Stark II prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, including a group practice exception, a physician from referring Medicare or Medicaid patients to an entity



40





providing “designated health services” in which the physician or immediate family member has an ownership or investment interest or with which the physician has entered into a compensation arrangement. The designated health services include clinical laboratory services, radiology and other diagnostic services, radiation therapy services, physical and occupational therapy services, durable medical equipment, parenteral and enteral nutrients, equipment and supplies, prosthetics, orthotics, outpatient prescription drugs, home health services, and inpatient and outpatient hospital services. The penalties for violating Stark II include a prohibition on payment by these government programs and civil penalties of as much as $15,000 for each violative referral and $100,000 for participation in a “circumvention scheme.” The Stark legislation is broad and ambiguous. Interpretive regulations clarifying the provisions of Stark II have not been issued. Florida has also enacted similar self-referral laws. The Florida Patient Self Referral Act of 1992 severely restricts patient referrals for certain services by physicians with ownership or investment interests, requires disclosure of physician ownership in businesses to which patients are referred and places other regulations on healthcare providers. While the Company believes it is in compliance with the Florida and Stark legislations and their exceptions, future laws, regulations, or interpretations of current law could require the Company to modify the form of its relationships with physicians and ancillary service providers. Moreover, the violation of Stark I or II or the Florida Patient Self Referral Law of 1992 by the Company’s Physician group could result in significant fines and loss of reimbursement, which would adversely affect the Company.

Legal Proceedings

We are not aware of any pending legal proceedings against us.

Corporate Information

Our corporate headquarters are located at 3420 Fairlane Farms Road, Suite C, Wellington, FL 33414. Our telephone number is (561) 798-9800, and our fax number is (561) 296-3456.

Property

We leased a new facility to expand our corporate offices during the summer of 2006 located at 3420 Fairlane Farms Road, Suite C, Wellington, Florida. The 6,600 square foot facility was remodeled at a cost of $38,500 with a current monthly rent of $9,395 pursuant to lease expiring June 30, 2009. We also rent warehouse space at PSB Wellington Commerce Park I, LLC for $265 per month for two units and leased small flex offices to support field operations in Miami-Dade, Tampa area and Orlando area in 2006. In December 2006, concurrent with the two Management Agreements, the Company acquired offices in Miami and Clermont, Florida. In March 2007, the company entered into a five year, 1400+ sq ft office lease in Miami, to support the Renaissance operations.

We believe the space is adequate for our immediate needs. Additional space may be required as we expand our activities. We do not foresee any significant difficulties in obtaining any required additional space.

Director Compensation

The Company reimburses all Directors for their expenses in connection with their activities as Directors of the Company. In addition, the Company has granted each outside Director annual compensation of 1,200 shares of stock, vested over three years, and $10,000 to be paid in stock, calculated by taking the average of the last 10 closing days prior to the end of the fiscal year. It is expected that compensation to outside Directors will increase as their responsibility expands and the Company develops. Mr. Haggerty will be compensated an additional $15,000, in cash and/or stock, for the extra duties of chairing the Audit Committee. The Directors will make themselves available to consult with the Company’s management as well as serve on one or more of its Committees. The Directors of the Company that are also employees of the Company do not receive additional compensation for their services as Directors.

The amounts in the “Option Awards” column reflect the dollar amount recognized for financial statement reporting purposes for the year ended October 31, 2006, in accordance with FAS 123(R), The grants include grants made in fiscal years ended October 31, 2003 and 2005. Assumptions used in the calculation of this amount are detailed in the annual report filed with SEC on Form 10-KSB/A.

Employment Agreements

The Company has no agreement or understanding, express or implied, with any officer, director, or principal stockholder, or their affiliates or associates, regarding employment with the Company or compensation for services, excluding those previously identified regarding outside directors above or those identified below.

The Company expects to pay Mr. Guillama, Mr. Cohen and Mrs. Guillama with permanent compensation and bonuses to be negotiated with Compensation Committee of the Company. As of October 31, 2006, the Company has accrued a total of $508,000 in compensation for Mr. Guillama, $151,000 for Mr. Cohen, and $124,011 for Mrs. Guillama. The Company has also accrued $73,900 for the compensation of Outside Directors. On April 30, 2007, the Board had approved annual compensation of $250,000 for Mr. Guillama, $150,000 for Mr. Cohen and $125,000 for Mrs. Guillama with bonuses of $200,000 to Mr. Guillama, $100,000 to Mr. Cohen and $75,000 to Mrs. Guillama. The management intends to convert a significant amount of the salary accruals and bonuses into common stock of the Company. The Company does not have any change of control, severance or pension arrangements or understandings with any of its management team other than set forth in this Prospectus.

Stock Option Plan

We have in place a 2003 Incentive Equity and Stock Option Plan, which we refer to as the ‘‘2003 Plan,’’ which has been approved by our stockholders. The purpose of the 2003 Plan is to further our growth and general prosperity by enabling our employees, contractors and service providers to acquire our common stock, increasing their personal involvement in us and thereby enabling us to attract and retain our employees.

The 2003 Plan, as amended, provides for the granting of options to purchase up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock, restated to reflect the Company’s 1 for 25 reverse stock split on March 29, 2007, to our employees, directors and other service providers. Any options that expire prior to exercise will become available for new grants from the ‘‘pool’’ of ungranted options. Options that are granted under the 2003 Plan may be either options that qualify as incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code or those that do not qualify as incentive stock options.



47





Incentive options under the 2003 Plan may not be granted at a purchase price less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the grant. Non-qualified options may not be granted at a purchase price less than 85% of fair market value on the date of grant, or, for an option granted to a person holding more than 10% of our voting stock, at less than 110% of fair market value.

The 2003 Plan is currently administered by our Board of Directors, although we expect that, in the future, it will be administered by a compensation committee appointed by our Board of Directors. As of March 30, 2007, shares or options to purchase shares in the aggregate of 2,400 shares have been issued under the 2003 Plan.



48





CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Transactions with our officers, directors, 5% or greater stockholders, and other affiliates are made or entered into on terms that are no less favorable to the Company than those that can be obtained from unaffiliated third-parties and must be approved by a majority of the independent, disinterested members of our Board of Directors.

On December 16, 2005, the Company executed a $100,000 promissory note payable to Maj-Britt Rosenbaum. This note was due January 31, 2006 and bore an interest rate of 8% per annum payable at term of the note. Additional compensation included 600 shares of the Company’s common stock per month for each month the debt is outstanding. On February 9, 2006, the husband of the note holder, Michael Rosenbaum, was elected to the Board of Directors of the Company. On February 25, 2006, an additional $25,000 was advanced to the Company by Mrs. Rosenbaum for a total of $125,000. Mrs. Rosenbaum and the Company agreed to extend the term of the note with the issuance of 6,667 shares of common stock. The value of the stock was determined by the closing market price on the date of the loan and is amortized over term of the loan. The Company and the lender have agreed in principle for the repayment of the amounts owed which includes the issuance of an additional 8,485 shares of common stock.  The note plus accrued interest was repaid from the proceeds of the March 29, 2007 private placement which closed May 4, 2007.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES

We are authorized to issue 170,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share and 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The preferred stock is subject to the rights and preferences as determined by our Board of Directors. On May 4, 2007, there were 1,907,430 shares of common stock issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock issued and outstanding.

Units

We will issue 2,300,000 units in this offering, with each unit consisting of 2 shares of our common stock and two warrants to purchase 1 share of our common stock. The units will have no rights independent of the rights existing in the common stock and the warrants, which form the unit. Each unit will be divided into its separate components on the date which is the earlier of: (i) 90 days immediately following the date of effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part of, or (ii) such time as the representative of the underwriters determines that separate trading should occur. We will issue a press release and notify the principal exchanges on which our securities are traded, and file a current report on Form 8-K, in order to inform investors of the separate trading of common stock and warrants 5 days prior thereto.  The units will cease to exist at that time.

Common Stock

The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Our certificate of incorporation does not provide for cumulative voting. The holders of common stock are entitled to receive ratably such dividends, if any, as may be declared by our Board of Directors out of legally available funds. However, the current policy of our Board of Directors is to retain earnings, if any, for operations and growth. Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets that are legally available for distribution. The holders of common stock have no preemptive, subscription, redemption or conversion rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of common stock are subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock, which may be designated solely by action of our Board of Directors and issued in the future.

Preferred Stock

Our Board of Directors is authorized, subject to any limitations prescribed by law, without further vote or action by our stockholders, to issue from time to time shares of preferred stock in one or more series. Each series of preferred stock will have such number of shares, designations, preferences, voting powers, qualifications and special or relative rights or privileges as shall be determined by our Board of Directors, which may include, among others, dividend rights, voting rights, liquidation preferences, conversion rights and preemptive rights.

Warrants

The warrant issued as part of each unit will entitle the holder thereof to purchase 1 share of common stock at an exercise price equal to 125% of the unit offering price beginning on the date the units separate through the date which is five years after the date of this prospectus, subject to the redemption rights described below. The warrants will be issued pursuant to the terms of a warrant agreement between the warrant agent, Fidelity Transfer Company, and us. We have authorized and reserved for issuance 4,600,000 shares of our common stock underlying the warrants, plus an additional 690,000 shares of common stock in the event that the underwriters' exercise their over-allotment option in full.

The warrant exercise price and the number of shares of common stock purchased upon exercise of the warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of, among other events, a stock dividend on, or a subdivision, recapitalization or reorganization of, the common stock, or the merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation or business entity.

We intend to use our best efforts to keep this registration statement, which covers the shares of common stock underlying the warrants, current, but we cannot assure you that such registration statement (or any other registration statement filed by us covering shares of common stock underlying the warrants) can be kept current. The shares of common stock underlying the warrants must also be registered or qualified for sale under the securities laws of the states in which the warrant holders reside. In the event this registration statement is not kept



52





current, or if the common stock underlying the warrants is not registered or qualified for sale in the state in which a warrant holder resides, the warrants may be of no value.

We are not required to issue any fractional shares of common stock upon the exercise of warrants or upon the occurrence of adjustments pursuant to anti-dilution provisions. We will pay to holders of fractional shares an amount equal to the cash value of such fractional shares based upon the then-current market price of a share of common stock.

The warrants may be exercised upon surrender of the certificate representing such warrants on or prior to the expiration date (or earlier redemption date) of such warrants at the offices of the warrant agent with the form of ‘‘Subscription Form’’ on the reverse side of the warrant certificate completed and executed as indicated, accompanied by payment of the full exercise price in cash or by official bank or certified check payable to the order of us for the number of warrants being exercised. Shares of common stock issued upon exercise of warrants for which payment has been received in accordance with the terms of the warrants will be fully paid and non-assessable. The warrants do not confer on the warrant holder any voting or other rights of our stockholders.

We may redeem all of the warrants at $.01 per warrant on 30 days’ prior written notice if the closing bid price of the common stock on the OTC-BB equals or exceeds 175% of the initial offering price per unit for a period of 20 trading days immediately preceding the call for redemption. A condition to such redemption is that, at the time of redemption and during the notice period, there is an effective registration statement covering the warrants and the resale of the shares of common stock issuable on exercise of the warrants. From and after the date of redemption specified in the notice (unless we default in providing money for the payment of the redemption price), all rights of the holder or holders as a warrant holder shall cease, except for the right to receive the redemption price hereof, without interest, and the warrants shall no longer be deemed outstanding.

In addition, we currently have outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 89,173 shares of our common stock. The exercise prices of the warrants range from $5.00 per share to $12.50 per share. The warrants expire at various times from September 29, 2007 to March 14, 2012.

Convertible Debentures

During the period August 2006 through May 4, 2007, we sold 121 Bridge Units for $6,050,000. Each unit consisted of a $50,000 8% Secured Convertible Debenture (Debenture) and 6,061 shares of restricted common stock (Bridge Shares). The holders of the Bridge Shares have the right to exchange the Bridge Shares for offering units equivalent to their initial investment in the Bridge Units purchased. Therefore every 6,061 Bridge Shares issued can be exchanged for 7,693 offering units.  The first $1,300,000 of Debentures matures on May 30, 2007. The balance of the Debentures, $4,750,000, matures on June 30, 2007. Principal and interest on the Secured Convertible Debentures may be converted into offering units at a conversion price equal to 70% of the offering price. The Convertible Debentures are secured by the all the assets of the Company.

Anti-Takeover Effect of Nevada Law, Certain Charter and By-Law Provisions

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or tender offers or delaying or preventing a change of control of our company. These provisions have the following effects:

·

they do not include a provision for cumulative voting in the election of directors. Under cumulative voting, a minority stockholder holding a sufficient number of shares may be able to ensure the election of one or more directors. The absence of cumulative voting may have the effect of limiting the ability of minority stockholders to effect changes in our Board of Directors and, as a result, may have the effect of deterring a hostile takeover or delaying or preventing changes in control or management of our company; and

·

they allow us to issue, without stockholder approval, up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock that could adversely affect the rights and powers of the holders of our common stock. In some circumstances, this issuance could have the effect of decreasing the market price of our common stock, as well.



53





Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Pursuant to the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS), we have the power to indemnify any person made a party to any lawsuit by reason of being our director or officer, or serving at our request as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Our bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Nevada law.

Disclosure of Commission Position on Indemnification for Securities Act Liabilities

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and persons controlling us, we have been advised that it is the SEC’s opinion that such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Transfer Agent

Fidelity Transfer Company has been appointed as the transfer agent for our common stock.

UNDERWRITING

Under the terms and subject to the conditions contained in an underwriting agreement dated as of ______ __, 2007 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), the underwriters named below, for whom Newbridge Securities Corporation, the managing underwriter in this offering, is acting as the representative, have severally agreed to purchase, and we have agreed to sell to them, the number of units set forth in the table below.

[____________]

[____________]

The underwriters are offering the units subject to their acceptance of units from us and subject to prior sale. The Underwriting Agreement provides that the obligations of the several underwriters to pay for and accept delivery of the units offered by this prospectus are subject to the approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and to certain other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to take and pay for all of the units offered by this prospectus, if any such units are taken. However, the underwriters are not required to take or pay for the units covered by the underwriters’ over-allotment option described below.

The underwriters propose to offer the securities offered hereby to the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover of this prospectus. That price should not be considered an indication of the actual value of the securities and is subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors. The underwriters may offer the securities to securities dealers at the price to the public less a concession not in excess of $____ per unit. After the securities are released for sale to the public, the underwriters may vary this offering price and other selling terms from time to time. No variation in those terms will change the amount of proceeds to be received by us as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. The public offering price of the securities offered hereby negotiated between us and the representatives.

We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 45 days from the date of this prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of 345,000 additional units at the public offering price listed on the cover page of this prospectus, less underwriting discounts and commissions. The underwriters may exercise this option solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, made in connection with the offering of the units offered by this prospectus. To the extent this option is exercised, each underwriter will become obligated, subject to limited conditions, to purchase approximately the same percentage of additional units as the number listed next to the underwriter’s name in the preceding table bears to the total number of units listed next to the names of all underwriters in the preceding table. If the underwriters’ option is exercised in full, the total price to the public would be $, the total underwriters’ discounts and commissions would be $, and total proceeds to us would be $. The underwriters have informed us that they do not intend sales to discretionary accounts to exceed five percent of the total number of units offered by them.

Underwriting Compensation

The underwriters will purchase the units offered hereby at a discount of __% of the initial public offering price (or $____ per unit). We have agreed to pay the managing underwriter a non-accountable expense allowance equal to __% of the gross proceeds from the sale of the units offered hereby. Our agreement with the underwriters also provides that we will pay all expenses in connection with qualifying the units for sale under the laws of those states as the underwriter may designate and the costs of review by the NASD of the underwriting arrangements between the underwriters and us.

We will sell to the representatives upon the completion of this offering, for a total purchase price of $100, an option to purchase 345,000 units. The units will be identical to the units offered to the public, except that the warrant included in each unit will have an exercise price equal to 145% of the unit public offering price. The option will be exercisable one year from the date of this prospectus at an exercise price of 145% of the unit price in this offering. We have agreed to register for sale the common stock and warrants issuable upon exercise of the option and the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants underlying the option. The option (and the securities that may be acquired upon exercise of the option) may not be sold, pledged, transferred, hypothecated or assigned for a period of one year after the date of this prospectus except in accordance with Rule 2710(g)(2) of the NASD Conduct Rules. The warrants issuable upon exercise of the option will have an exercise price equal to 165% of the public offering price of our units. Except for the exercise price and transfer restrictions described above, the warrants issuable upon exercise of the option shall be identical to the warrants issued to the public in this offering.



55





Consulting Agreement

As of the closing of this offering, we will enter into a two-year consulting agreement with the managing underwriter whereby it will be retained as the Company’s non-exclusive financial advisor and investment banker to provide general financial advisory and investment banking services. Specifically, the managing underwriter will assist us in evaluating potential equity or debt financings, making recommendations concerning the relationships among our various lines of business and potential areas for business growth, and providing such other financial advisory and investment banking services upon which we may mutually agree. As consideration for the managing underwriter’s consulting services, we agreed to pay a fee of $30,000 per year for the term of this Agreement, with the aggregate fees under the agreement in the amount of $60,000 due and payable upon the execution of the agreement.

Warrant Solicitation Fee

We have agreed not to solicit exercise of the warrants other than through the underwriters. Upon any exercise of the warrants after the first anniversary of the date of this prospectus, to the extent not inconsistent with the NASD Rules and the SEC rules and regulations, we will pay the underwriters a fee of 1% of the aggregate warrant exercise price if: (i) the market price of our common stock on the date the warrants are exercised is greater than the then-exercise price of the warrants; (ii) the exercise of the warrants was solicited by a member of the NASD and such solicitation has been designated in writing by the warrant holder; (iii) the warrants are not held in a discretionary account; (iv) disclosure of the compensation arrangements was made both at the time of the offering and at the time of exercise of the warrants; and (v) the solicitation of exercise of the warrant was not in violation of Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Stabilization

The rules of the SEC generally prohibit the underwriters from trading in our securities on the open market during this offering. However, the underwriters are allowed to engage in certain open market transactions and other activities during this offering that may cause the market price of our securities to be above or below that which would otherwise prevail in the open market. These activities may include stabilization, short sales and over-allotments, syndicate covering transactions and penalty bids.

·

stabilizing transactions consist of bids or purchases made by the representatives for the purpose of preventing or slowing a decline in the market price of our securities while this offering is in progress;

·

short sales and over-allotments occur when the representatives, on behalf of the underwriters, sell more of our units than they purchase from us in this offering. In order to cover the resulting short position, the representatives may exercise the over-allotment option described above or may engage in syndicate covering transactions. There is no contractual limit on the size of any syndicate covering transaction. The underwriters will deliver a prospectus in connection with any such short sales. Purchasers of units sold short by the underwriters are entitled to the same remedies under the federal securities laws as any other purchaser of units covered by the registration statement;

·

syndicate covering transactions are bids for or purchases of our securities on the open market by the representatives on behalf of the underwriters in order to reduce a short position incurred by the representatives on behalf of the underwriters; and

·

a penalty bid is an arrangement permitting the representatives to reclaim the selling concession that would otherwise accrue to an underwriter if the common stock originally sold by the underwriter was later repurchased by the representatives and therefore was not effectively sold to the public by such underwriter.

If the underwriters commence these activities, they may discontinue them at any time without notice. The underwriters may carry out these transactions on Nasdaq or otherwise.

Indemnification

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make in respect of any such liabilities.



56





Penalty Bids

The underwriters may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when a particular underwriter repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased shares sold by or for the account of that underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.



57

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders

The Quantum Group, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of The Quantum Group, Inc. as of October 31, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ deficit and cash flows for the years ended October 31, 2006 and 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits 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 consolidated 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 audits provide 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 The Quantum Group, Inc. at October 31, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended October 31, 2006 and 2005 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

These financial statements were previously issued and reported to, by us, on February 13, 2007. Since our report dated February 13, 2007, management has determined that warrants and the embedded derivatives issued in conjunction with the secured convertible debentures totaling $875,000 were valued incorrectly. In addition, the unearned shares of common stock granted to employees totaling 465,000 shares were incorrectly included in the outstanding common shares. Also the Company has reclassified accrued interest totaling $24,177 to Other Current Liabilities. These financial statements have been restated to reflect the amortization of these costs.

These financial statements were previously issued and reported on, by us, on March 16, 2007. On March 29, 2007 the Company completed its 1:25 reverse stock split. As more fully described in Note 2, the Company has restated its common stock share amounts for all periods to reflect the reverse stock split.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses and had negative cash flows from operations which raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do no include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

THE QUANTUM GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OCTOBER 31, 2006

NOTE 1:  DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY

The Company’s business model is to become a provider of services to the healthcare industry in three complementary areas: providing healthcare services to consumers through its provider systems; providing provider support services, systems, technology solutions and management to physicians, Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), healthcare facilities and physician associations; and acquiring and developing new technologies for the healthcare delivery system.

The Company has one MCO contract providing members to a number of the Company’s Community Health Systems (CHS) in the State of Florida. The number of members under care has not reached the 300 member threshold requirement for the Company to be at full risk. The Company started providing healthcare support services by entering into a full risk management agreement with a billing company, whereby, the Company runs the operation and accepts all risk of ownership.

Prior to the year ended October 31, 2006, the Company was classified as a Development Stage Company, as it had not yet commenced substantive operations.

These financial statements have been restated, see Note 12.

Going Concern

The Company has limited revenues to date. Since its inception, the Company has been dependent upon the receipt of capital investment to fund its continuing activities. In addition to the normal risks associated with a new business venture, there can be no assurance that the Company’s business plan will be successfully executed. The Company’s ability to execute its business model will depend on its ability to obtain additional financing and achieve a profitable level of operations. There can be no assurance that sufficient financing will be obtained. Nor can any assurance be made that the Company will generate substantial revenues or that the business operations will prove to be profitable. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At October 31, 2006 there were no cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred.

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 date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded in connection with business combinations as the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for recoverability annually or more frequently if indicators of possible impairment exist. The Company will recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value determination. As of October 31, 2006, there was no impairment of goodwill.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles held and used for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In evaluating the fair value and future benefits of its intangible assets, management performs an analysis of the anticipated undiscounted future net cash flow of the individual assets over the remaining amortization period. The Company recognizes an impairment loss if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the expected future cash flows. During the year ended October 31, 2006, the Company determined that the software purchased in connection with the Biocard personal health record (PHR) was not going to be sufficient without further programming, however the Company believes that there is no change in the value of name and the domain name. The Company estimated the value of the software decreased by $145,000.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the period ended October 31, 2006 include the accounts of The Quantum Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Renaissance Health Systems, Inc., The Quantum Agency, Inc. and Quantum Medical Technologies, Inc. The accounts of the billing company in which the Company has full risk of the operations is a variable interest entity, as defined by FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R), and therefore has been consolidated. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Revenue Recognition

Provider Systems

The Company has entered into a full risk contract with an MCO. Commencing when the Company has 300 patients, the Company will receive monthly fee for each patient that chooses one of the Company’s physicians as their primary care physician. The fixed fee is based on a percentage of the premium the MCO receives. Revenue under this agreement is generally recorded in the period services are rendered at the rates then in effect with quarterly adjustments. The Company started treating patients in September 2005, but has not reached the 300 minimum by October 31, 2006. The Company has recorded income relating to the primary care physician’s charges which MCO has contracted with the Company to utilize. Medical costs associated with the revenue were equal to the revenue.

Provider Support Services

In June 2006, the Company entered into a management agreement with a medical billing and collection company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid a fixed amount to the billing and collection company in order to assume all management responsibility and financial risk of the operation of the business. The Company has included all of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses for this operation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Revenues are recorded upon the collection of billed service for their clients.

The Company entered into an agreement with an MCO to assist in the recruitment of members for fixed fee per member enrolled. The Company recognizes revenue, net of commissions paid, in the month when the member signs up with the MCO.

NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

Stock Split

On August 31, 2006, the shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock of our outstanding common stock to comply with the initial listing requirements of a national securities exchange or initial quotation requirement on an automatic quotation system of a national securities association with the ratio to be determined by the Board in the best interest of the Company. On March 9, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a 1:25 reverse stock split to be effectuated on March 29, 2007.

All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the reverse stock split.

Stock Compensation

The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123 encourages the use of a fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based awards, under which the fair value of stock options is determined on the date of grant and expensed over the vesting period. Under SFAS 123, companies may, however, measure compensation costs for those plans using the method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Companies that apply APB No. 25 are required to include pro forma disclosures of net earnings and earnings per share as if the fair-value-based method of accounting had been applied. The Company elected to account for such plans under the provisions of APB No. 25. The Company accounts for stock options granted to consultants under the fair value provisions of SFAS 123.

Had the compensation expense for the stock option plan been determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant date consistent with the methodology prescribed under Statement of Financial Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, at October 31, the Company’s net loss and loss per share would have been increased to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), a revision to SFAS No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS 123), and superseding APB Opinion No. 25 Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and its related implementation guidance. SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, including obtaining employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123R applies to all awards granted after the required effective date and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after that date. Adoption of the provisions of SFAS 123R is effective as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2005. The Company believes that the effect of the adoption of SFAS 123R in the quarter ending January 31, 2007 will result in increased expenses by approximately $470,000 over a period three year (vesting) period.

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — an Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29, which eliminated the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaced it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. The Company adopted SFAS No. 153 for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring on or after July 1, 2005. The adoption SFAS No. 153 did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements—An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 28. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective application to prior periods’ financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principal unless it is not practicable. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005 and is required to be adopted by the Company in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Although the Company will continue to evaluate the application of SFAS No. 154, management does not currently believe adoption will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (SFAS 155). SFAS 155 allows any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to be carried at fair value in its entirety, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. In addition, SFAS 155 requires that beneficial interests in securitized financial assets be analyzed to determine whether they are freestanding derivatives or contain an embedded derivative. SFAS 155 also eliminates a prior restriction on the types of passive derivatives that a qualifying special purpose entity is permitted to hold. SFAS 155 is applicable to new or modified financial instruments in fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2006, though the provisions related to fair value accounting for hybrid financial instruments can also be applied to existing instruments. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of SFAS 155. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 155 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In December 2006, the FASB issued a Staff Position 00-19-2 on issuer’s accounting for registration payment arrangements which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The guidance in this FSP amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 150 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, and FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, to include scope exceptions for registration payment arrangements. The Company issued registration rights with a 2% stock penalty for failure to file by specific dates in connection with certain debt which the Company believes will probably be met.

NOTE 5:  DEBT

Interim Bridge Loans

On May 5, 2006, the Company agreed to a Bridge Financing Agreement with High Capital Funding LLC, the lead lender, for $501,000. The agreement included an issuance of an 8% Secured Promissory Note and 26,667 shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $500,000.

The note was to mature upon the earlier of the 80th day following the receipt by the escrow agent of the $501,000, July 14, 2006, or the second business day following the closing of an aggregate of $1,000,000 of gross proceeds from a private placement. In June 2006, the Company raised an additional $150,000 under the same terms and issued 8,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a value of $159,998. Additional fees include placement agent fee of $15,000 and one 5-year warrant to purchase 800 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $5.00 per share, valued at $15,200 using the Black Scholes method.

All fees and premiums are amortized over the term of the loans. On August 21, 2006, the Company and the lead lender agreed to a $1,000,000 Interim Bridge Financing Agreement whereby the amount owed under the above agreement, $651,000, was included in the amount loaned. The proceeds from the financing were allocated between the 8% Secured Promissory Note and the common stock issued based on the fair value. The Company allocated $323,331 to the Secured Promissory Note and $327,669 to the common stock.

On August 21, 2006 the Company signed an Interim Bridge Financing Agreement with the lead investor for a maximum of $1,000,000 to repay the original Bridge Financing Agreement, $501,000 (Tranche A) and the $150,000 additional bridge (Tranche B), and raise an additional $349,000 (Tranche C).

The Company has also issued 36,364 shares of common stock to the original investor for the credit line agreement and recorded the fair value of the stock, $681,818, as a credit line fee to be amortized over the term of the credit line. The total value of the common stock issued was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the loan. Additional fees include a placement agent fee of $60,370 plus one 5-year warrant to purchase 12,122 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $5.00 per share, valued at $81,818 using the Black Scholes method. The terms of the loan include repayment of principal and interest from the proceeds of the subsequent private placement equal to 50% of the funds received until the loans are paid in full. As of October 31, 2006, $443,698 of the principal was repaid.

On July 6, 2006, the Company signed an 8% promissory note and financing agreement for $100,000 with a lender. The terms were consistent with the Bridge Financing Agreement except, among other items, that the note matures the earlier of 80 days from the funding of the note or the second day following the closing of an aggregate of $2,000,000 of gross proceeds from a private placement. The note is unsecured. The lender and the Company have agreed to extend the loan consistent with the Interim Bridge Financing Agreement dated August 21, 2006. Under this agreement, the lender will be issued 12,122 total shares. The proceeds from the financing were allocated between the 8% Secured Promissory note and the common stock issued based on the fair value. The Company allocated $48,387 to the Promissory Note and $51,613 to the common stock. The total value of the common stock issued was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the loan.

Secured Convertible Debentures

On August 29, 2006, the Company signed an agreement with a placement agent to raise $3,000,000 by selling 60 units. Each unit consists of a $50,000 8% Convertible Debenture and 6,061 shares of restricted common stock (Bridge Shares). Each note payable matures on March 31, 2007, but can be extended by 60 days by the placement agent. Principal and interest on the Secured Convertible Debentures may be converted into certain future sale of the Company’s security at a conversion price equal to 70% of the offering price. The placement agent fees are equal to 10% commission of gross proceeds, 3% of gross proceeds for unaccountable expenses, one warrant for each unit sold to purchase 607 shares of common stock at $8.25 per share and expenses not to exceed $25,000. The private placement includes certain registration rights which generally require that if the Bridge Shares and the conversion shares are not registered by February 28, 2007, the Company will file a registration statement by March 31, 2007. A late registration penalty of 2% of the original principal amount in common stock, based upon average of the previous five days closing price bid prices (as reported on Bloomberg) if a registration is not filed by March 31, 2007. The Debentures are secured by all the assets of the Company subject to the investors in the interim bridge.

As of October 31, 2007, 17.5 units were sold and a placement agent fee and reimbursement of expenses of $142,967 plus one 5-year warrant to purchase 10,614 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $8.25 per share, valued at $71,592 using the Black Scholes method.

Under the agreement the Company is required to use its best efforts to register the underlying shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the event the a registration statement is not filed with SEC, the Company is required to pay liquidated damages in the form of additional shares of common stock of the Company, which the Company is required to use its best efforts to register. The Company analyzed the transaction and the associated embedded conversion features and determined that the criteria for bifurcating an embedded conversion feature, and measuring at fair value, as detailed in SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, were not met. Based on this finding and pursuant to EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, the Company has (i) allocated the proceeds received to the convertible instrument and the shares on a relative fair value basis, and (ii) recognized the beneficial conversion feature as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt and as additional paid-in capital. As a result, the Company allocated the

Notes payable – shareholders

On November 1, 2002, the Company entered into an agreement with the Company’s CEO to purchase certain intellectual property integral to the Company’s business. In exchange, the company issued a three (3) year installment note for $179,080 with an interest rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum. The price of the sale was equal to the cost the shareholder incurred to develop the property purchased. The note is payable monthly starting January 2003.

As of October 31, 2006, the Company had an unused net operating loss carry forward of approximately $4,253,145 available for use on its future corporate income tax returns. This net operating loss carry forward begins to expire in October 2025. Pursuant to Sections 382 and 383 of the Internal Revenue Code, annual use of any of the Company’s net operation loss and credit carry forwards may be limited if cumulative changes in ownership of more than 50% occur during any three year period.

NOTE 7:  PAYROLL TAXES

Included in Accrued Payroll and Payroll Taxes is $151,500 that the Company owes in delinquent payroll taxes, which includes penalties and interest. These taxes relate to a period ending in the middle of September. The Company has paid all payroll taxes due on payrolls paid subsequent to that date.

NOTE 8:  LOSS PER SHARE

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares for the period. The computation of diluted loss per share is similar to basic loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares, such as options, had been issued. Diluted loss per share does not give effect to options granted, as the effects would be anti-dilutive.

NOTE 9:  LEASE COMMITMENTS

Certain non-cancelable leases are classified as capital leases and leased assets are included as part of property and equipment. Other leases are classified as operating leases and thus are not capitalized. The Company leases its corporate offices under operating lease agreements which expire June 30, 2009. Total rental expense amounted to $92,479 and $47,903 for the years ended October 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company is obligated under capital leases. The leased property under the capital leases had a cost of $37,608, and accumulated depreciation of $8,098 and $1,932, respectively. Amortization of the leased property is included in depreciation expense.

NOTE 10:  INCENTIVE EQUITY AND STOCK OPTION PLAN

In October 2003, the Company adopted an incentive equity and stock option plan. The purpose of the plan is to advance the interests of the Company by providing an additional incentive to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified and competent persons who are key to the Company, including key employees, consultants, independent contractors, Board members, advisory board members, officers and directors by authorizing the grant of awards of Common Stock and options to purchase Common Stock of the Company.

Options granted under this plan may either be options qualifying as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or options that do not so qualify. Any incentive option must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of such grant, but the exercise price of any incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our common stock must be at least 110% of such fair market value as determined on the date of the grant.

The term of each option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the Board of Directors, provided that no option may be exercisable more that 10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more that 10% of the our common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant. The Board of Directors shall determine the exercise price of non-qualified options.

The Company has reserved 200,000 shares of common stock under the plan. The Board of Directors or a committee of the Board of Directors will administer the plan including, without limitation, the selection of the persons who will be granted plan options under the plan, the type of plan options to be granted, the number of shares subject to each plan options and the plan option price.

The per share exercise price of shares granted under the plan shall not be less than 90% of the fair market value of common stock on the grant date. Officers, directors and key employees of and consultants to Quantum will be eligible to receive non-qualified options or stock grants under the plan. Only officers, directors and employees of Quantum who are employed by Quantum or by any subsidiary thereof are eligible to receive incentive options.

In December 2004, the Company agreed with a placement company to sell common stock of the Company at a price of $10.00 per share. The placement company received 13% cash commission and one warrant at an exercise price of $10.00 per share for every ten shares of common stock sold. The Company received $700,000 and issued 70,000 shares of common stock. The placement company received $91,000 in cash commissions and 7,000 warrants.

On July 6, 2005, the Company issued a private placement memorandum to raise $1,500,000 at a price of $12.50 per share.

In May 2006, the Company and the placement agent agreed to change the amount of warrants to 10% of shares issued which is consistent with prior agreements with the placement agent and therefore, the Company issued an additional 3,885 warrants.

NOTE 12:  RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company has restated its consolidated financial statements for 2006 (the Restatement), and certain disclosures in notes to the consolidated financial statements have been restated to reflect the Restatement adjustments. In the Restatement, the Company has made the following adjustments:

Allocation of financing components

In August 2006, the Company issued a Private Placement Memorandum in which the Company sold 17.5 units for $875,000. Each unit included a $50,000 8% Secured Convertible Debenture (Debt) and 6,061 shares of the Company’s common stock. Under the terms of the Debt, the holder has the right to convert the debt and accrued interest into common stock at a discount of 30% from a subsequent offering prior to maturity (beneficial conversion). Additionally, the Company must register the underlying shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) within a specific period of time. In the event that a registration statement is not filed with SEC, the Company is required to pay liquidated damages to the holders of the Debt in shares of common stock of the Company equal to 2% of the of the face value of the Debt. The Company analyzed the transaction and the associated conversion features and determined that the three criteria for bifurcating an embedded conversion feature, and measuring at fair value, as detailed in SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, were not met.

The Company has allocated the proceeds from the sale of units ($875,000) as follows: (1) $374,325 to Debt; (2) $340,288 to common stock and (3) $160,387 to the beneficial conversion feature included with the debt discount.

In August 2006, the Company signed a bridge agreement in which the Company sold $1,100,000 in 8% promissory notes and 92,620 shares of common stock. The Company has allocated the proceeds from the sale ($1,100,000) as follows: (1) $501,152 to the debt and (2) $598,848 to common stock.

In May 2006, the Company signed an interim bridge agreement in which the Company sold $751,000 in 8% promissory notes and 34,671 shares of common stock. The Company has allocated the proceeds from the sale ($751,000) as follows: (1) $371,718 to debt and (2) $379,282 to common stock.

The allocation of the proceeds from debt resulted in the reduction of Finance Premium by $292,556 and the reclassification of $519,477 from Finance Premium to Credit Line Fee and the reduction of amortization of Finance Premium by $1,496,175 and reclassifying $1,152,071 from Amortization of Finance Premium to Amortization of

THE QUANTUM GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

JANUARY 31, 2007

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1:  DESCRIPTION OF COMPANY

The Company’s business model is to become a provider of services to the healthcare industry in three complementary areas: providing healthcare services to consumers through its provider systems; providing provider support services, systems, technology solutions and management to physicians, Managed Care Organizations (MCOs), healthcare facilities and physician associations; and acquiring and developing new technologies for the healthcare delivery system.

The Company has three MCO contracts providing members to a number of the Company’s Community Health Systems (CHS) in the State of Florida. Two of the three contracts became effective in January 2007 and are full risk. The third contract, which has been effective since September 2005, has not reached the minimum threshold of 300 members, which is required to be at full risk. The Company started providing healthcare support services by entering into full risk management agreements with three billing companies, whereby, the Company runs the operation and accepts all risk of ownership.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and Regulation SB. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, they include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All adjustments made during the three months ended January 31, 2007, were of a normal, recurring nature. The amounts presented for the three months ended January 31, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year. Additional information is contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A of the Company for the year ended October 31, 2006, which should be read in conjunction with this quarterly report.

Going Concern

The Company has limited revenues to date. Since its inception, the Company has been dependent upon the receipt of capital investment to fund its continuing activities. In addition to the normal risks associated with a new business venture, there can be no assurance that the Company’s business plan will be successfully executed. The Company’s ability to execute its business model will depend on its ability to obtain additional financing and achieve a profitable level of operations. There can be no assurance that sufficient financing will be obtained. Nor can any assurance be made that the Company will generate substantial revenues or that the business operations will prove to be profitable. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Stock Split

On August 31, 2006, the shareholders authorized the Board of Directors to effect a reverse stock of our outstanding common stock to comply with the initial listing requirements of a national securities exchange or initial quotation requirement on an automatic quotation system of a national securities association with the ratio to be determined by the Board in the best interest of the Company. On March 9, 2007, the Board of Directors approved a 1:25 reverse stock split to be effectuated on March 29, 2007.

All share and per share amounts have been restated to reflect the recapitalization.

NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At January 31, 2007, there were no cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

Furniture and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to five years.

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 date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Income Taxes

The Company has not recognized any future tax benefit arising from net operating loss carry forward in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 109, as the realization of this deferred tax benefit is not likely. A 100% valuation allowance has been established to offset the entire amount of the Company’s net deferred tax asset.

Goodwill

On an annual basis, management assesses the composition of the Company’s assets and liabilities, as well as the events that have occurred and the circumstances that have changed since the most recent fair value determination. If events occur or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of goodwill below its carrying amount, goodwill will be tested for impairment. The Company will recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value determination. There was no impairment of goodwill as of January 31, 2007.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended January 31, 2007 include the accounts of The Quantum Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Renaissance Health Systems, Inc., Quantum Medical Technologies, Inc., QMed Billing, Inc. and The Quantum Agency. The Company has entered into management agreements with three medical billing companies whereby the Company has agreed to accept full risk of operation for a fee paid by the Company to each of the medical billing companies. The financial results from these companies have been consolidated.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has entered into full risk contracts with three Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs). The Company started treating patients for one of the contracts in September 2005, but is not full risk until the HMO provides a minimum of 300 members to the Company. The threshold of 300 patients has not been reached as of January 31, 2007. The Company has recorded income relating to the primary care physician’s charges for the three-month period ended January 31, 2007. Medical costs associated with the revenue were equal to the revenue. The other two contracts started in January 2007 and are full risk from inception. Under a full risk contract, the Company will receive a monthly fee for each patient that chooses one of the Company’s physicians as their primary care physician. The fixed fee is based on a percentage of the premium the HMO receives. Revenue under this agreement is generally recorded in the period services are rendered at the rates then in effect, with quarterly adjustments. The direct medical costs are a combination of actual medical costs paid by the HMO plus a reserve for future medical costs incurred but not reported (IBNR).

NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

Revenue Recognition (continued)

In June 2006, the Company entered into a management agreement with a medical billing and collection company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid an amount to the billing and collection company and assumed all management responsibility and financial risk of the operation of the business. The Company has included all the revenues and expenses for this operation in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenues are recorded upon the collection of billed service for their clients.

Stock Compensation

Prior to November 1, 2006, the Company had followed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards  No. 123 (SFAS No. 123), Accounting for Stock Based Compensation whereby companies may measure compensation costs for those plans using the method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB No. 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. No compensation expense was recognized in accounting for options granted to employees where the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options equaled or exceeded the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted to consultants were accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.

Effective November 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, using the modified prospective transition method. Under this method, stock based compensation expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2007 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments modified or granted prior to , but not yet vested as of November 1, 2006, based on the grant date intrinsic value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123. Results for the first quarter of fiscal 2005 have not been restated.

As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on November 1, 2006, the Company’s net loss for the three months ended January 31, 2007 was approximately $97,900 higher than if it had continued to account for the share-based compensation under APB No. 25. No options were exercised or granted during the three month period ended January 31, 2007.

Had the compensation expense for the stock option plan been determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant date consistent with the methodology prescribed under Statement of Financial Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” for the three month period ended January 31, 2006, the Company’s net loss and loss earnings per share would have been affected to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

NOTE 2:  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (CONTINUED)

New Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (SAB 108), which added Section N to Topic 1, Financial Statements, of the Staff Accounting Bulletin Series. Section N provides guidance on the consideration of the effects of prior year misstatements when quantifying current year financial statement misstatements for the purpose of materiality assessment. The SEC concluded in SAB 108 that a registrant’s materiality evaluation of an identified unadjusted error should quantify the impact of correcting all misstatements, including both the carryover and reversing effects of prior year misstatements, on the current year financial statements. If either carryover or reversing effects of prior year misstatements is material, the misstatements should be corrected in the current year. If correcting an error in the current year for prior year misstatements causes the current year to be materially misstated, the prior year financial statements should be corrected, even though such revision previously was and continues to be immaterial to the prior year financial statements. Correcting prior year financial statements for immaterial errors would not require previously filed reports to be amended. Such correction may be made the next time the registrant files the prior year financial statements. The guidance of SAB 108 should be applied in the annual financial statements covering the fiscal year ending October 31, 2007. The Company does not believe SAB 108 will have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2006, the FASB issued a Staff Position 00-19-2 on issuer’s accounting for registration payment arrangements which specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument or other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. The guidance in this FSP amends FASB Statements No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and No. 150 Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity, and FASB Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, to include scope exceptions for registration payment arrangements. The Company issued registration rights with a 2% stock penalty for failure to file by specific dates in connection with certain debt which the Company believes will probably be met.

Note 3:  Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, notes payable and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

Note 4:  Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares for the period. The computation of diluted loss per share is similar to basic loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potentially dilutive common shares, such as options, had been issued. Diluted loss per share is not presented as the effects would be anti-dilutive.

The Company has 58,290 warrants, with exercise prices ranging from $5.00 to $12.50 per share, and 61,690 vested options with exercise prices ranging from $10.00 to $37.50 per share, exercisable at January 31, 2007.

NOTE 5:  ACCRUED PAYROLL AND PAYROLL TAXES

The Company owes executives earned, but unpaid compensation of $834,261. Additionally, the Company owes $134,000 in delinquent payroll taxes and penalties relating to a period prior to September 2006. All payroll taxes subsequent have been paid when due.

NOTE 6:  DEBT

Secured Convertible Debentures

On August 29, 2006, the Company signed an agreement with a placement agent to raise $3,000,000 by selling 60 units. Each unit consists of a $50,000 8% Convertible Debenture and 6,061 shares of restricted common stock (Bridge Shares). Each note payable matures on March 31, 2007, but has been extended without penalty by 60 days by the placement agent. Principal and interest on the Secured Convertible Debentures may be converted into certain future sale of the Company’s security at a conversion price equal to 70% of the offering price. The placement agent fees are equal to 10% commission of gross proceeds, 3% of gross proceeds for unaccountable expenses, one warrant for each unit sold to purchase 607 shares of common stock at $8.25 per share and expenses not to exceed $25,000. The private placement includes certain registration rights which generally require that if the Bridge Shares and the conversion shares are not registered by February 28, 2007, the Company will file a registration statement by March 31, 2007. A late registration penalty of 2% of the original principal amount in common stock, based upon average of the previous five days closing price bid prices (as reported on Bloomberg) if a registration is not filed by March 31, 2007. The Company is seeking to obtain an extension from the debt holders of this provision to June 30, 2007, to be consistent with units sold during December and January. The Debentures are secured by all the assets of the Company subject to the investors in the interim bridge. This private placement was ended on November 30, 2006 and 26 units were sold and a placement agent fee and reimbursement of expenses of $169,000 plus one 5-year warrant to purchase 15,777 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $8.25 per share, valued at $121,821 using the Black Scholes method. Under the agreement the Company is required to use its best efforts to register the underlying shares and the Bridge shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the event that a registration statement is not filed with SEC, the Company is required to pay liquidated damages in the form of additional shares of common stock of the Company, which the Company is required to use its best efforts to register. The Company analyzed the transaction and the associated embedded conversion features and determined that the criteria for bifurcating an embedded conversion feature, and measuring at fair value, as detailed in SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, were not met. Based on this finding and pursuant to EITF 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments, the Company has (i) allocated the proceeds received to the convertible instrument and the shares on a relative fair value basis, and (ii) recognized the beneficial conversion feature as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt and as additional paid-in capital. As a result, the Company allocated the proceeds from the sale of units ($1,300,000) as follows: (1) $534,975 to the convertible debt (2) $534,279 to the shares and (3) $230,746 to the beneficial conversion feature.

During December and January, the Company sold 8.5 additional units for $425,000 and issued 51,520 under the same terms described above except the maturity date of the convertible debt is June 30, 2007 and the Company is required to file a registration agreement by June 30, 2007. The Company allocated the proceeds from the sale of the units ($425,000) as follows: (1) $202,666 to the convertible debt (2) $140,333 to the shares and (3) $82,001 to the beneficial conversion.

NOTE 6:  DEBT (CONTINUED)

Notes Payable

On November 30, 2005, the Company entered into a 13% 2-year callable loan agreement for $100,000. The terms of the loan agreement include quarterly interest payments and the loan is callable by the lender if any interest payment is not paid within 15 days of being notified by the lender that the interest payment is late. Additional compensation includes 2,800 shares of common stock. The value of the stock was determined by the closing market price on the date of the loan and is amortized over term of the loan. The agreement contains an anti-dilution provision on the additional compensation shares whereby the lender will receive additional shares to maintain a specific percentage of ownership. The Company issued an additional 351 shares in common stock during the quarter ended January 31, 2007. The Company also paid $6,500 in commissions to a placement agent.

On July 6, 2006, the Company signed an 8% promissory note and financing agreement for $100,000 with a lender. The terms were consistent with the Bridge Financing Agreement except, among other items, that the note matures the earlier of 80 days from the funding of the note or the second day following the closing of an aggregate of $2,000,000 of gross proceeds from a private placement. The note is unsecured. The lender and the Company have agreed to extend the loan consistent with the Interim Bridge Financing Agreement dated August 21, 2006. Under this agreement, the lender will be issued 12,122 additional shares. The proceeds from the financing were allocated between the 8% Secured Promissory note and the common stock issued based on the fair value. The Company allocated $48,387 to the Promissory Note and $51,613 to the common stock. The total value of the common stock issued was based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the loan.

On August 21, 2006 the Company signed an Interim Bridge Financing Agreement with the lead investor for $1,000,000. The Company has repaid all amounts owned under this agreement except $155,971 and the amount borrowed under the credit line portion of the agreement. On December 15, 2006, the Company and the lender agreed to extend the credit line’s maturity date until December 18, 2006, increase the credit line $56,000 until January 15, 2007 and increase the interest rate to 18% per annum. In partial consideration for the changes in credit line, the Company issued 6,788 shares of restricted common stock valued at $44,121 using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the loan, as a financing premium. The Company immediately borrowed the additional $56,000 from the increase in the credit line. On January 12, 2007, the Company and the lender agreed to extend the credit line’s maturity date to February 15, 2007 and increase the credit line by $95,000. In partial consideration for the changes in the credit line, the Company issued 11,516 shares of restricted common stock valued at $146,818 using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the loan, as a financing premium. The Company immediately borrowed $95,000. As of January 31, 2007, the outstanding balance on the credit line was $445,182.

On December 26, 2006, the Company signed an 8% promissory note for $50,000 with a lender. The note matured on the 30th day following receipt, or January 28, 2007. The lender was issued 400 shares of Common Stock, valued at the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the loan, as a financing premium. The lender has the option to convert this loan into the private placement dated December 18, 2006. The note has not been repaid and the lender has not notified the Company of his intention to convert or notified the Company of a demand for payment.

On December 28, 2006, the Company signed an 8% promissory note for $40,000 with the Company’s placement agent, Newbridge Securities. The note matured on the 30th day following receipt, or January 27, 2007. The lender was issued 400 shares of Common Stock, valued at $5,100, using the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the loan.

NOTE 7:  INCENTIVE EQUITY AND STOCK OPTION PLAN

In October 2003 the Company adopted a stock option plan. The purpose of the stock option plan was to increase the employees’ and non-employee directors’ proprietary interest in Quantum and to align more closely their interests with the interests of the shareholders of Quantum, as well as to enable Quantum to attract and retain the services of experienced and highly qualified employees and non-employee directors.

Options granted under this plan may either be options qualifying as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or options that do not so qualify. Any incentive option must provide for an exercise price of not less than 100% of the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of such grant, but the exercise price of any incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more than 10% of our common stock must be at least 110% of such fair market value as determined on the date of the grant.

The term of each option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the Board of Directors, provided that no option may be exercisable more that 10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more that 10% of the our common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant. The Board of Directors shall determine the exercise price of non-qualified options.

The Company has reserved 200,000 shares of common stock under the plan. The Board of Directors, or a committee of the Board of Directors, will administer the plan including, without limitation, the selection of the persons who will be granted plan options under the plan, the type of plan options to be granted, the number of shares subject to each plan options and the plan option price.

The per share exercise price of shares granted under the plan may be adjusted in the event of certain changes in the total purchase price payable upon the exercise in full of options granted under the plan. Officers, directors, and key employees of and consultants to Quantum will be eligible to receive non-qualified options under the plan. Only officers, directors and employees of Quantum who are employed by Quantum, or by any subsidiary thereof, are eligible to receive incentive options.

Part II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 24. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) permits the indemnification of directors, employees, officers and agents of Nevada corporations. Our Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles") and Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the NRS.

The provisions of the NRS that authorize indemnification do not eliminate the duty of care of a director, and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available under Nevada. In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability for (a) violations of criminal laws, unless the director had reasonable cause to believe his conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful, (b) deriving an improper personal benefit from a transaction, (c) voting for or assenting to an unlawful distribution and (d) willful misconduct or conscious disregard for our best interests in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder. The statute does not affect a director's responsibilities under any other law, such as the Nevada securities laws.

The effect of the foregoing is to require us to indemnify our officers and directors for any claim arising against such persons in their official capacities if such person acted in good faith and in a manner that he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to our directors, officers or persons in control pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the act and is therefore unenforceable.

Item 25. Other Expenses of Issuance and Distribution

Each of the investors had access to the kind of information about us that we would provide in a registration statement, was an “accredited investor,” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and represented to us his intention to acquire our securities for investment purposes only and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof.

Item 28.

Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that it will:

1.

File, during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to:

i.

Include any prospectus required by Section 10(a) (3) of the Securities Act;

ii.

Reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together, represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the ‘‘Calculation of Registration Fee’’ table in the effective registration statement.

iii.

Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of distribution.

2.

For determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide offering.

3.

File a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities that remain unsold at the end of the offering.

4.

For determining liability of the undersigned small business issuer under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, the undersigned small business issuer undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned small business issuer pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned small business issuer will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

i.

Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned small business issuer relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

ii.

Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer or used or referred to by the undersigned small business issuer;

iii.

The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned small business issuer or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned small business issuer; and

iv.

Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned small business issuer to the purchaser.

5.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the ‘‘Act’’) may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the small business issuer pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the small business issuer has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as express in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

6.

For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the small business issuer under Rule 424(b) (1), or (4), or 497(h) under the Securities Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the Commission declared it effective.

7.

For determining any liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement, and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide offering of those securities.
