Item 1.
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
MDS was founded as an unincorporated business in January 2004 and became a C corporation in the State of Nevada on February 1, 2005. At March 31, 2008, we had one employee, Justin Craig, our founder and president. Mr. Craig devotes fulltime to us.
We are a digital medical illustrator and animator providing digital displays and enhancements to companies that assist attorneys to prepare or enhance exhibits for trials involving medical issues. Approximately 85% of our work is ultimately used by plaintiff counsel and 15% is used by defense counsel.
A digital medical illustrator is a professional who interprets and creates visual material to help record and disseminate medical, biological and related knowledge. Medical illustrators create medical illustrations using traditional and digital techniques which can appear in medical textbooks, medical advertisements, professional journals, instructional videotapes and films, animations, computer-assisted learning programs, exhibits, lecture presentations, general magazines and television. MDS specializes in creating and enhancing digital images that will be used as exhibits in legal trials. Specifically, we create demonstrative exhibits and animations that are designed to clearly and concisely communicate the testimony of expert medical witnesses. These exhibits are developed in a variety of media (including illustrations, diagrams, computer animations and 3D models) best suited for the type of information that needs to be conveyed.
3
Our principal output is:
Image enhancements are a dramatic and realistic way of clarifying organic tissues on any type of radiographic film. MRIs, CAT scans, myleograms, arteriograms, ultrasound images, mammograms, etc., can be enhanced with color to point out pertinent structures on the films, making them easier for laypersons on a jury to comprehend. Disease processes such as inflammatory arthritis, arterial aneurysms, metastasizing cancer and deep vein thrombosis can be emphasized as well. This same technique can also be applied to radiographic video images such as cardiac catheterizations, ultrasounds, arteriorgrams, etc. These color-enhanced films also make it easier for expert witnesses and counsel to describe and highlight key points in their testimony or argument.
3D Animation - we also utilize our 3D software to produce still frames of complex information and products. These images can be incorporated into settlement packages, timelines, or printed as large trial exhibits.
Real-time Animation is used in certain instances in which issues of a case deal with time, complex element relationships or motion, because real-time animation may very well be the best medium to accurately demonstrate the facts of these types of cases to juries.
We use a standard price list for much of our work. We also negotiate prices for very specialized projects. Our typical price list follows:
Description of Visuals | Sample | Price |
2D MRI/CT Colorization · Image 01: CTs, MRIs, Ultrasounds (and X-rays if the 3D option is not preferred) are colorized in such a way that the original film is still seen (as well as included on the exhibit in B&W). Fractures and other viewable features are illustrated in for best understanding of the radiographic film. Sample image = $400 | $200/MRI or CT | |
|
|
|
3D X-ray Colorization · Image 01: X-rays converted to a 3D illustration, showing fracture ends, malformations, degenerative bone loss, internal and external hardware. · Hardware Design: Hardware cost is in addition to the 3D X-ray. Prices vary for the amount of hardware modeled, ranging from ½ hour to 3hr design time at $75/hr Sample image = $675 | $300/X-ray $75/hr for hardware |
4
Medical Illustration Custom · Image 01: Custom illustration is created to specifically match the details of a case, and anytime that a library illustration is not available. · Image 02: Subsequent images in a series that are based off a custom illustration are then treated as modified library (discounted) images. Sample image = $700 | $300/image (custom) | |
Medical Illustration Client Likeness · Image 01: If the illustration likeness is to match provided photographs of the client, the usual custom illustration is increased to reflect the addition work. Sample image = $400 | $400/ client likeness | |
|
|
|
Medical Illustration Library · Image 01: Exhibits already created and not needing alterations are sold as library exhibits (a library exhibit is copyrighted and usable only for the case for which it is purchased). Some custom illustrated series are partly billed as library if they are based off a previous image for the same job. · Image 02: Library exhibits needing changes can still be purchased with design time added on for the changes. Sample image = $350 | $150/ library image $75/hr on alterations | |
|
|
|
3D/2D Animation · Animation: All animation is begun with a written storyboard first, then progresses to a visual storyboard, which is approved before animation is begun. A cost breakdown of the projected price (ranging from $50-$75/hr depending on 2D or 3D animation, illustrations included, rendering time, etc.) Additions and revisions beyond the scope of the original quote are at an additional cost. | $50-$75/hr for 2D or 3D animation |

For the year ended December 31, 2007, four unrelated customers (High Impact Litigation (24.81%), The Visual Advantage (23.41%), Legal Wizard (13.29%) and Trial Exhibits, Inc. (22.54%)) comprised 84.05% of total revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2006, four unrelated customers (High Impact Litigation (37.0%), The Visual Advantage (27.8%), Trial Exhibits, Inc. (17.5%) and Legal Wizard (7.6%)) comprised 89.9% of total revenues.. This trend of relying on a very limited number of customers is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
Our customers are almost always companies that assist attorneys to prepare or enhance a wide range of exhibits for trials. We perform the digital medical imaging that is needed by these companies. There are a limited number of these companies. Four of them make up our principal client base, and an additional four are smaller clients. The loss of business from a significant client or our failure to continue to obtain new business to replace completed or canceled projects would have a material adverse effect on our business and revenues.
Our images are approved by the expert witness(es) who will use them in their testimony and by counsel. We do not release images that are not acceptable to and approved by the expert witness.
Competition
Mr. Craig is a member of the Association of Medical Illustrators. We believe that this Association has approximately 1,000 members, although all members are not competitors. Medical illustrators create medical illustrations using traditional and digital techniques which can appear in medical textbooks, medical advertisements, professional journals, instructional videotapes and films, animations, computer-assisted learning programs, exhibits, lecture presentations, general magazines and television. We do not know how many illustrators perform in the same market niche as do we.
We compete based on quality and speed of service combined with price. It is important that counsel is successful in cases in which our illustrations are used. If counsel does not believe that our products are helping their cases, they will change the company that assists in preparing their litigation exhibits.
No assurances can be given that our competitive strategy will be successful.
Intellectual Property
We have no patents or trademarks.
Employees
At March 31, 2008, we had one employee, Justin Craig, our founder and president. Mr. Craig devotes fulltime to us. There are no written employment contracts or agreements.
Current Developments
On March 14, 2008, Justin N. Craig, our President and Chief Executive Officer, privately sold 9,140,000 shares of our common stock, constituting 91.4% of our outstanding shares and all of the shares owned beneficially by him, to Vision Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd. Certain other of our stockholders also sold shares of our common stock to Vision Opportunity Master Fund. As a result of these privately-negotiated sales, a change in control occurred from Mr. Craig to Vision Opportunity Master Fund.
On March 17, 2008, pursuant to prior approvals by stockholders owning in excess of a majority of the voting power of our outstanding shares, we effected a 2-for-1 reverse stock split of our outstanding shares of common stock.
Following the reverse stock split, we have 5,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Of such shares, after giving effect to the privately-negotiated transactions described above, Vision Opportunity Master Fund owns 4,720,000 shares of our common stock, or 94.4% of our outstanding shares. Vision Opportunity Master Fund purchased these shares for a total of approximately $670,000 in cash, inclusive of related acquisition costs. The source of the funding for the cash payment was the general working capital of Vision Opportunity Master Fund.
6
The terms of the purchase and sale transactions were as a result of arms-length negotiations between the parties. None of the parties had any relationship with one another prior to this transaction. Our officers and directors, and the business focus of our company, were not changed in connection with the purchase and sale transactions.
Item 2.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY
Our office and mailing address is 7231 South Rome Street, Aurora, CO 80016 provided to us by our president which serves as our principal business address. We paid rent of $4,800 in each of 2007 and 2006 for use of these facilities. There is no written lease agreement.
Item 3.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are not party to any pending or, to our knowledge, threatened litigation of any type
Item 4.
SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS
None.
PART II
Item 5.
MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND SMALL BUSINESS ISSUER PURCHASE OF EQUITY SECURITIES
The Company became subject to Securities Exchange Act Reporting Requirements in August 2007. There is no established current public market for the shares of our common stock. A symbol was assigned for our securities so that our securities may be quoted for trading on the OTCBB under symbol MDST. No trades have occurred through March 31, 2008. There can be no assurance that a liquid market for our securities will ever develop. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities or blue sky laws of various states and foreign jurisdictions. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments and should be prepared to hold the common stock for an indefinite period of time.
We have never paid any cash dividends on shares of our common stock and do not anticipate that we will pay dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to apply any earnings to fund the development of our business. The purchase of shares of common stock is inappropriate for investors seeking current or near term income.
As of the close of business on March 31, 2008, there were 5,000,000 shares were issued and outstanding. As part of the Companys plan to augment its financial resources and consider attractive business opportunities, the Companys principal stockholders have entered into discussions with an unaffiliated third party with respect to a potential merger transaction which could result in the discontinuance of its current operations, change of control/ownership and new management. There can be no assurance that a merger or other significant transaction will be consummated with the third party or, if consummated, that the Company or its stockholders would realize any benefits from it.
We have never repurchased any of our equity securities.
Quoting and Trading of our Common Stock
There is no established trading market for our common stock. A symbol was assigned for our securities so that our securities may be quoted for trading on the OTCBB under symbol MDST. Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops, if ever, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly. Prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our business generally, including the impact of the factors referred to in "Risk Factors," investor perception and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.
7
General Market Risks
There is no established public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that any established market will develop in the foreseeable future. Transfer of our common stock may also be restricted under the securities or securities regulations laws promulgated by various states and foreign jurisdictions, commonly referred to as Blue Sky laws. Absent compliance with such individual state laws, our common stock may not be traded in such jurisdictions. Consequently, investors may not be able to liquidate their investments and should be prepared to hold the common stock for an indefinite period of time.
The market price for our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors, many of which are beyond our control, including the following:
·
actual or anticipated variations in quarterly operating results;
·
announcements by our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments;
·
additions or departures of key personnel;
·
sales or issuances of additional shares of common stock; and
·
potential litigation or regulatory matters.
The market prices of the securities of microcap companies have been especially volatile. Broad market and industry factors may adversely affect the market price of our common stock, regardless of our actual operating performance. In the past, following periods of volatility in the market price of their stock, many companies have been the subject of securities class action litigation. A stockholder lawsuit could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management's attention and resources and would adversely affect our stock price.
We have 74,000,000 authorized shares of common stock, of which 5,000,000 are currently outstanding. The board of directors, without stockholder approval, could issue up to 69,000,000 shares of common stock upon whatever terms it determines to whomever it determines, including persons or entities that would help our present management.

We are a digital medical illustrator and animator providing digital displays and enhancements to companies that assist attorneys to prepare or enhance exhibits for trials involving medical issues.

Our customers are almost always companies that assist attorneys to prepare or enhance a wide range of exhibits for trials. We perform the digital medical imaging that is needed by these companies. There are a limited number of these companies.
Customers originally hear of our services from word of mouth. They continue with us and expand or decrease the amount of work that they send to us based on the quality and timing of our output. We retain rights to the digital images that we produce. These digital images form a library for us. Some of these digital images can be sold to users who need generic types of images for their purposes. This enables us to generate revenue without doing additional work. The longer that we are in operation, the larger our library becomes.

Other
As a corporate policy, we will not incur any cash obligations that we cannot satisfy with known resources, of which there are currently none except as described in Liquidity below and/or elsewhere in this prospectus. We believe that the perception that many people have of a public company make it more likely that they will accept restricted securities from a public company as consideration for indebtedness to them than they would from a private company. We have not performed any studies of this matter. Our conclusion is based on our own observations. However, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in any of those efforts even if we are a public entity. Additionally, issuance of restricted shares would necessarily dilute the percentage of ownership interest of our stockholders.
Liquidity
We do not know and cannot estimate whether the transaction among certain of our shareholders and Vision Opportunity Master Fund described above will have any impact on our liquidity or ability to obtain funds.
Private capital, if sought, will be sought from former business associates of our founder or private investors referred to us by those business associates. To date, we have not sought any funding source and have not authorized any person or entity to seek out funding on our behalf. If a market for our shares ever develops, of which there can be no assurances, we may use restricted shares of our common stock to compensate employees/consultants and independent contractors wherever possible. We believe that operations are generating sufficient cash to continue operations for the next 12 months provided that our costs of being a public company remain equal to or below the maximum estimate provided below.
10
We have become a public company and, by doing so, have incurred and will continue to incur additional significant expenses for legal, accounting and related services. Once we become a public entity, subject to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we will incur ongoing expenses associated with professional fees for accounting, legal and a host of other expenses for annual reports and proxy statements. We estimate that these costs will range up to $50,000 per year for the next few years and will be higher if our business volume and activity increases but lower during the first year of being public because our overall business volume will be lower, and we will not yet be subject to the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These obligations will reduce our ability and resources to fund other aspects of our business. We hope to be able to use our status as a public company to increase our ability to use noncash means of settling obligations and compensate independent contractors who provide professional services to us, although there can be no assurances that we will be successful in any of those efforts. We will reduce the compensation levels paid to management if there is insufficient cash generated from operations to satisfy these costs.
There are no current plans to seek private investment. We do not have any current plans to raise funds through the sale of securities. We hope to be able to use our status as a public company to enable us to use non-cash means of settling obligations and compensate persons and/or firms providing services or products to us, although there can be no assurances that we will be successful in any of those efforts. We believe that the perception that many people have of a public company make it more likely that they will accept restricted securities from a public company as consideration for indebtedness to them than they would from a private company. We have not performed any studies of this matter. Our conclusion is based on our own beliefs. Issuing shares of our common stock to such persons instead of paying cash to them would increase our chances to expand our business. Having shares of our common stock may also give persons a greater feeling of identity with us which may result in referrals. However, these actions, if successful, will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing managements ability to maintain control of MDS because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.
In May 2007, we sold 760,000 shares of our common stock to 38 people for $760. The sale of such shares was not specifically or solely intended to raise financing since the funds raised were de minimis. It was also intended to get relatives and business associates of management involved in our business. Of the 760,000 shares, 300,000 (39.5%) shares were sold to people directly related to at least one officer or director and 300,000 (39.5%) shares were sold to our counsel. Although these stockholders have no obligation to provide any services to us, management hopes that these new stockholders, their families, friends and/or business associates may provide us with valuable services such as recommending our services and providing us with business advice in any areas of expertise or knowledge that they may have that can be of value and assistance to us.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off balance sheet arrangements, obligations under any guarantee contracts or contingent obligations. We also have no other commitments, other than the costs of being a public company that will increase our operating costs or cash requirements in the future.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission adopted final rules under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended by SEC Release No. 33-8889 on February 1, 2008. Commencing with our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2008, we will be required to include a report of management on our internal control over financial reporting. The internal control report must include a statement.
§
of managements responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting;
§
of managements assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of year end; and
§
of the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
11
Furthermore, in the following fiscal year, it is required to file the registered accounting firms attestation report separately on the Companys internal control over financial reporting on whether it believes that the Company has maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157 Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS No. 157"). This Statement defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure related to the use of fair value measures in financial statements. The Statement is to be effective for Ensigns financial statements issued in 2008; however, earlier application is encouraged. Ensign is currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the impact that adoption might have on its financial position or results of operations.
On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities: Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits all entities to elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value with changes in fair value reported in earnings. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, with earlier adoption permitted. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this statement will have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-3 Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future Research and Development Activities (EITF Issue No. 07-3) which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. EITF Issue No. 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts will be recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF Issue No. 07-3 to have a material impact on the financial results of the Company.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007) Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)), which requires the Company to record fair value estimates of contingent consideration and certain other potential liabilities during the original purchase price allocation, expense acquisition costs as incurred and does not permit certain restructuring activities previously allowed under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3 to be recorded as a component of purchase accounting. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company will adopt this standard at the beginning of the Companys year ending December 31, 2008 for all prospective business acquisitions. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on the financial results of the Company.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160), which causes noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries to be included in the equity section of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 160 applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company will adopt this standard at the beginning of the Companys year ending December 31, 2008 for all prospective business acquisitions. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on the financial results of the Company.
The FASB, the Emerging Issues Task Force and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission have issued certain other accounting pronouncements and regulations as of December 31, 2007 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, management of Ensign does not believe that any of those pronouncements would have significantly affected Ensign financial accounting measurements or disclosures had they been in effect during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, and it does not believe that any of those pronouncements will have a significant impact on Ensigns financial statements at the time they become effective.
12
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements and related notes requires us to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.
An accounting policy is considered to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, and if different estimates that reasonably could have been used, or changes in the accounting estimates that are reasonably likely to occur periodically, could materially impact the financial statements.
Financial Reporting Release No. 60 requires all companies to include a discussion of critical accounting policies or methods used in the preparation of financial statements. There are no critical policies or decisions that rely on judgments that are based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made.
Seasonality
We have not noted a significant seasonal impact in our business.
Risk Factors
Risks Related to the Business
MDS has limited financial resources which may make it more difficult for us to raise capital or other financing. Absent financial resources we will be unable to undertake programs designed to expand our business.
MDS has limited financial resources and has not established a source of equity or debt financing. In addition, MDS had very limited working capital ($13,239) at December 31, 2007.
If we are unable to generate additional revenue or obtain financing or if the financing we do obtain is insufficient to cover any operating losses we may incur, we may have to substantially curtail our operations. To date, no MDS officer, director, affiliate or associate has had any preliminary contact or discussions with, nor are there any present plans, proposals, arrangements or understandings with any representatives of the owners of any business or company regarding the possibility of an acquisition or merger transaction referred to herein or otherwise.
MDS is and will continue to be completely dependent on the services of our founder and president, Justin Craig, the loss of whose services may cause our business operations to cease, and we will need to engage and retain qualified employees and consultants to further implement our strategy.
MDS operations and business strategy are completely dependent upon the knowledge and business contacts of Justin Craig, our president. He is under no contractual obligation to remain employed by us. If he should choose to leave us for any reason before we have hired additional personnel, our operations may fail. Even if we are able to find additional personnel, it is uncertain whether we could find someone who could develop our business along the lines described in this prospectus. We will fail without Mr. Craig or an appropriate replacement(s).
We intend to acquire key-man life insurance on the life of Mr. Craig naming us as the beneficiary when and if we obtain the resources to do so and Mr. Craig remains insurable. We have not yet procured such insurance, and there is no guarantee that we will be able to obtain such insurance in the future. Accordingly, it is important that we are able to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified and talented personnel and independent contractors.
13
Justin Craig, our chief executive and chief financial officer, has no meaningful accounting or financial reporting education or experience and, accordingly, our ability to meet Exchange Act reporting requirements on a timely basis will be dependent to a significant degree upon others.
Justin Craig has no meaningful financial reporting education or experience. He is heavily dependent on advisors and consultants. As such, there is risk about our ability to comply with all financial reporting requirements accurately and on a timely basis.
We depend on a small number of industries and clients for all of our business, and the loss of one such significant client could cause revenues to drop quickly and unexpectedly.
For the year ended December 31, 2007, four unrelated customers (High Impact Litigation (24.81%), The Visual Advantage (23.41%), Legal Wizard (13.29%) and Trial Exhibits, Inc. (22.54%)) comprised 84.05% of total revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2006, four unrelated customers (High Impact Litigation (37.0%), The Visual Advantage (27.8%), Trial Exhibits, Inc. (17.5%) and Legal Wizard (7.6%)) comprised 89.9% of total revenues. This trend of relying on a very limited number of customers is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
Our customers are companies that assist attorneys to prepare or enhance exhibits for trials involving medical issues. There are a limited number of these companies. Four of them make up our principal client base, and an additional four are smaller clients. The loss of business from a significant client or our failure to continue to obtain new business to replace completed or canceled projects would have a material adverse effect on our business and revenues.
Changes in outsourcing trends could adversely affect our operating results and growth rate.
The practice of companies that assist counsel to prepare or enhance exhibits for use in trials has been to engage outside organizations like us to help complete the projects. This practice has grown in the last decade, and we have benefited from this trend. However, if this trend changes and companies in these industries were to perform a greater percentage of projects with their own employees or seek lower cost services outside of the United States, our business could be materially adversely affected.
We are subject to the periodic reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires us to incur audit fees and legal fees in connection with the preparation of such reports. These additional costs will reduce or eliminate our future ability to earn a profit.
We are required to file periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In order to comply with these requirements, our independent registered auditors must review our financial statements on a quarterly basis and audit our financial statements on an annual basis. Moreover, our legal counsel must review and assist in the preparation of such reports. The costs charged by these professionals for those services cannot be accurately predicted at this time because factors such as the number and type of transactions that we engage in and the complexity of our reports cannot be determined at this time and will have a major affect on the amount of time to be spent by our auditors and attorneys. However, the incurrence of such costs will obviously be an expense to our operations and thus have a negative effect on our ability to meet our overhead requirements and earn a profit. We may be exposed to potential risks resulting from new requirements under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.
14
Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we will be required, beginning with our fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, to include in our annual report our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of the end of fiscal 2008. Furthermore, our independent registered public accounting firm will be required to attest to whether our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting is fairly stated in all material respects and separately report on whether it believes we have maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2009. We have not yet completed our assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. We expect to incur additional expenses and diversion of managements time as a result of performing the system and process evaluation, testing and remediation required in order to comply with the management certification and auditor attestation requirements.
We do not have a sufficient number of employees to segregate responsibilities and may be unable to afford increasing our staff or engaging outside consultants or professionals to overcome our lack of employees. During the course of our testing, we may identify other deficiencies that we may not be able to remediate in time to meet the deadline imposed by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act for compliance with the requirements of Section 404. In addition, if we fail to achieve and maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, as such standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, we may not be able to ensure that we can conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Moreover, effective internal controls, particularly those related to revenue recognition, are necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and are important to help prevent financial fraud. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our business and operating results would be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our common stock, if a market ever develops, could drop significantly.
Having only two directors limits our ability to establish effective independent corporate governance procedures and increases the control of our president.
We have only two directors, one of which is our president and chairman. Accordingly, we cannot establish board committees comprised of independent members to oversee functions like compensation or audit issues. In addition, a tie vote of board members is decided in favor of the chairman, which gives him significant control over all corporate issues.
Until we have a larger board of directors that may include some independent members, if ever, there will be limited oversight of our presidents decisions and activities and little ability for minority shareholders to challenge or reverse those activities and decisions, even if they are not in the best interests of minority shareholders.
Risks Related to Our Common Stock
Shareholders may be diluted significantly through our efforts to obtain financing and satisfy obligations through issuance of additional shares of our common stock.
We have no committed source of financing. Wherever possible, our board of directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock. Our board of directors has authority, without action or vote of the shareholders, to issue all or part of the authorized (74,000,000) but unissued (69,000,000) common shares. In addition, if a trading market develops for our common stock, we may attempt to raise capital by selling shares of our common stock, possibly at a discount to market.
15
We also believe that the potential of issuing restricted shares of our common stock to vendors or others who may be in a position to refer business or customers to us would enable us to operate and expand our business more effectively. We will also consider attempting to settle vendor obligations through the issuance of shares.
The foregoing actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders, may further dilute common stock book value, and that dilution may be material. If the shares distributed to vendors or others are sold into any trading market that develops, the impact may be to cause share prices to decrease materially. Alternatively, we may incur significant expenses that contractors/vendors will not be willing to accept shares of our stock in lieu of cash payment. Such issuances may also serve to enhance existing managements ability to maintain control of us because the shares may be issued to parties or entities committed to supporting existing management.
Our articles of incorporation provide for indemnification of officers and directors at our expense and limit their liability which may result in a major cost to us and hurt the interests of our shareholders because corporate resources may be expended for the benefit of officers and/or directors.
Our articles of incorporation and applicable Nevada law provide for the indemnification of our directors, officers, employees, and agents, under certain circumstances, against attorney's fees and other expenses incurred by them in any litigation to which they become a party arising from their association with or activities on our behalf. We will also bear the expenses of such litigation for any of our directors, officers, employees, or agents, upon such person's written promise to repay us therefor if it is ultimately determined that any such person shall not have been entitled to indemnification. This indemnification policy could result in substantial expenditures by us which we will be unable to recoup.
We have been advised that, in the opinion of the SEC, indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification for liabilities arising under federal securities laws, other than the payment by us of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding, is asserted by a director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, we will (unless in the opinion of our counsel, the matter has been settled by controlling precedent) submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, the question whether indemnification by us is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. The legal process relating to this matter if it were to occur is likely to be very costly and may result in us receiving negative publicity, either of which factors is are likely to materially reduce the market and price for our shares, if such a market ever develops.
Currently, there is no public market for our securities, and there can be no assurances that any public market will ever develop or that our common stock will be quoted for trading and, even if quoted, it is likely to be subject to significant price fluctuations.
We have a trading symbol for our common stock, MDST, which permits our shares to be quoted on the OTCBB. However, no trades of our shares have occurred, and there is currently no public market whatsoever for our securities. There can be no assurances as to whether:
§
any market for our shares will develop;
§
the prices at which our common stock will trade; or
§
the extent to which investor interest in us will lead to the development of an active, liquid trading market. Active trading markets generally result in lower price volatility and more efficient execution of buy and sell orders for investors.
16
In addition, our common stock is unlikely to be followed by any market analysts, and there may be few institutions acting as market makers for our common stock. Either of these factors could adversely affect the liquidity and trading price of our common stock. Until our common stock is fully distributed and an orderly market develops in our common stock, if ever, the price at which it trades is likely to fluctuate significantly. Prices for our common stock will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for shares of our common stock, developments affecting our business, including the impact of the factors referred to elsewhere in these Risk Factors, investor perception of us and general economic and market conditions. No assurances can be given that an orderly or liquid market will ever develop for the shares of our common stock.
Any market that develops in shares of our common stock will be subject to the penny stock regulations and restrictions which will create a lack of liquidity and make trading difficult or impossible.
The trading of our securities, if any, will be in the over-the-counter market which is commonly referred to as the OTCBB as maintained by FINRA. As a result, an investor may find it difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of our securities.
Rule 3a51-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 establishes the definition of a "penny stock," for purposes relevant to us, as any equity security that has a minimum bid price of less than $4.00 per share or with an exercise price of less than $4.00 per share, subject to a limited number of exceptions which are not available to us. It is likely that our shares will be considered to be penny stocks for the immediately foreseeable future. This classification severely and adversely affects any market liquidity for our common stock.
For any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the penny stock rules require that a broker or dealer approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks and the broker or dealer receive from the investor a written agreement to the transaction setting forth the identity and quantity of the penny stock to be purchased. In order to approve a person's account for transactions in penny stocks, the broker or dealer must obtain financial information and investment experience and objectives of the person and make a reasonable determination that the transactions in penny stocks are suitable for that person and that that person has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial matters to be capable of evaluating the risks of transactions in penny stocks.
The broker or dealer must also deliver, prior to any transaction in a penny stock, a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market, which, in highlight form, sets forth:
§
the basis on which the broker or dealer made the suitability determination, and
§
that the broker or dealer received a signed, written agreement from the investor prior to the transaction.
Disclosure also has to be made about the risks of investing in penny stock in both public offerings and in secondary trading and commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, current quotations for the securities and the rights and remedies available to an investor in cases of fraud in penny stock transactions. Finally, monthly statements have to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.
17
Because of these regulations, broker-dealers may not wish to engage in the above-referenced necessary paperwork and disclosures and/or may encounter difficulties in their attempt to sell shares of our common stock, which may affect the ability of selling shareholders or other holders to sell their shares in any secondary market and have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in any secondary market. These additional sales practice and disclosure requirements could impede the sale of our securities, if and when our securities become publicly traded. In addition, the liquidity for our securities may decrease, with a corresponding decrease in the price of our securities. Our shares, in all probability, will be subject to such penny stock rules for the foreseeable future and our shareholders will, in all likelihood, find it difficult to sell their securities.
The market for penny stocks has experienced numerous frauds and abuses which could adversely impact investors in our stock.
We believe that the market for penny stocks has suffered from patterns of fraud and abuse. Such patterns include:
§
Control of the market for the security by one or a few broker-dealers that are often related to the promoter or issuer;
§
Manipulation of prices through prearranged matching of purchases and sales and false and misleading press releases;
§
Boiler room" practices involving high pressure sales tactics and unrealistic price projections by inexperienced sales persons;
§
Excessive and undisclosed bid-ask differentials and markups by selling broker-dealers; and
§
Wholesale dumping of the same securities by promoters and broker-dealers after prices have been manipulated to a desired level, along with the inevitable collapse of those prices with consequent investor losses.
We believe that many of these abuses have occurred with respect to the promotion of low price stock companies that lacked experienced management, adequate financial resources, an adequate business plan and/or marketable and successful business or product.
Our board of directors has the authority, without stockholder approval, to issue preferred stock with terms that may not be beneficial to common stockholders and with the ability to affect adversely stockholder voting power and perpetuate their control over us.
Our articles of incorporation allow us to issue shares of preferred stock without any vote or further action by our stockholders. Our board of directors has the authority to fix and determine the relative rights and preferences of preferred stock. Our board of directors also has the authority to issue preferred stock without further stockholder approval, including large blocks of preferred stock. As a result, our board of directors could authorize the issuance of a series of preferred stock that would grant to holders the preferred right to our assets upon liquidation, the right to receive dividend payments before dividends are distributed to the holders of common stock and the right to the redemption of the shares, together with a premium, prior to the redemption of our common stock.
18
The ability of our president to control our business may limit or eliminate minority shareholders ability to influence corporate affairs.
Our president is currently in a position to continue to elect our board of directors, decide all matters requiring stockholder approval and determine our policies. The interests of our president may differ from the interests of other shareholders with respect to the issuance of shares, business transactions with or sales to other companies, selection of officers and directors and other business decisions. The minority shareholders would have no way of overriding decisions made by our president. This level of control may also have an adverse impact on the market value of our shares because our president may institute or undertake transactions, policies or programs that result in losses, may not take any steps to increase our visibility in the financial community and/or may sell sufficient numbers of shares to significantly decrease our price per share.
We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future
We have never paid any dividends on our common stock. We do not expect to pay cash dividends on our common stock at any time in the foreseeable future. The future payment of dividends directly depends upon our future earnings, capital requirements, financial requirements and other factors that our board of directors will consider. Since we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on our common stock, return on your investment, if any, will depend solely on an increase, if any, in the market value of our common stock.
Because we are not subject to compliance with rules requiring the adoption of certain corporate governance measures, our stockholders have limited protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters.
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as well as rule changes proposed and enacted by the SEC, the New York and American Stock Exchanges and the Nasdaq Stock Market, as a result of Sarbanes-Oxley, require the implementation of various measures relating to corporate governance. These measures are designed to enhance the integrity of corporate management and the securities markets and apply to securities which are listed on those exchanges or the Nasdaq Stock Market. Because we are not presently required to comply with many of the corporate governance provisions and because we chose to avoid incurring the substantial additional costs associated with such compliance any sooner than legally necessary, we have not yet adopted these measures.
Because none of our directors are independent directors, we do not currently have independent audit or compensation committees. As a result, these directors have the ability, among other things, to determine their own level of compensation. Until we comply with such corporate governance measures, regardless of whether such compliance is required, the absence of such standards of corporate governance may leave our stockholders without protections against interested director transactions, conflicts of interest and similar matters and investors may be reluctant to provide us with funds necessary to expand our operations. We intend to comply with all corporate governance measures relating to director independence as, if and when required.
For all of the foregoing reasons and others set forth herein, an investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. Any person considering an investment in such securities should be aware of these and other risk factors set forth in this Form 10-KSB.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Managements Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The Companys management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Companys registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Managements report was not subject to attestation by the companys registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only managements report in this annual report
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has reviewed the effectiveness of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-14(c) and 15d-14(c)) as of the end of the period covered by this report and has concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that material information relating to the Company is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported in a timely manner. There were no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the last day they were evaluated by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in the Company's internal control over financial reporting during the last quarterly period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9.
DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT
Our management consists of:
Name | Age | Title |
Justin Craig | 35 | President, CEO, CFO, principal accounting officer and chairman |
Kenneth Craig | 64 | Secretary and director |
Justin Craig Founded us and has been our president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chairman since inception. From November 2002 to December 2003, Mr. Craig was a digital medical imager for High Impact Litigation, now a major Company customer. Mr. Craig holds a BFA from Brigham Young University (2000) and an MS in Bio Medical Illustration from the University of Illinois Chicago (2002).
20
Kenneth Craig became secretary and a director in May 2007. He has owned and operated an accounting practice for more than 30 years with a specialty in taxation. He holds a BS from the University of Arizona and is the father of Justin Craig.
Possible Potential Conflicts
No member of management is or will be required by us to work on a full time basis, although our president currently devotes full time to us. Accordingly, certain conflicts of interest may arise between us and our officer(s) and director(s) in that they may have other business interests in the future to which they devote their attention, and they may be expected to continue to do so although management time must also be devoted to our business. As a result, conflicts of interest may arise that can be resolved only through their exercise of such judgment as is consistent with each officer's understanding of his fiduciary duties to us.
Currently we have only two officers, both of whom also serve as directors, and are married to each other, and are in the process of seeking to add additional officer(s) and/or director(s) as and when the proper personnel are located and terms of employment are mutually negotiated and agreed.
Board of Directors
All directors hold office until the completion of their term of office, which is not longer than one year, or until their successors have been elected. All officers are appointed annually by the board of directors and, subject to existing employment agreements (of which there are currently none), serve at the discretion of the board. Currently, directors receive no compensation for their role as directors but may receive compensation for their role as officers. The terms of office of both directors expire on October 31, 2008.
As long as we have an even number of directors, tie votes on issues are resolved in favor of the chairmans vote.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Concurrent with having sufficient members and resources, our board of directors will establish an audit committee and a compensation committee. We believe that we will need a minimum of five directors to have effective committee systems. The audit committee will review the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by the independent auditors and review and evaluate the system of internal controls. The compensation committee will manage the stock option plan and review and recommend compensation arrangements for the officers. No final determination has yet been made as to the memberships of these committees or when we will have sufficient members to establish committees. See Executive Compensation elsewhere in this prospectus.
All directors will be reimbursed by us for any expenses incurred in attending directors' meetings provided that Solutions has the resources to pay these fees. Solutions will consider applying for officers and directors liability insurance at such time when it has the resources to do so.

Each beneficial owners percentage ownership is determined by assuming that options, warrants or convertible securities that are held by such person (but not those held by any other person) and which are exercisable within 60 days of the date indicated above, have been exercised. |
Shareholder Matters
As an issuer of "penny stock" the protection provided by the Federal securities laws relating to forward looking statements does not apply to us if our shares are considered to be penny stocks. Although the federal securities law provide a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by a public company that files reports under the federal securities laws, this safe harbor is not available to issuers of penny stocks. As a result, we will not have the benefit of this safe harbor protection in the event of any claim that the material provided by us, including this prospectus, contained a material misstatement of fact or was misleading in any material respect because of our failure to include any statements necessary to make the statements not misleading.
As a Nevada corporation, we are subject to the Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS" or "Nevada law"). Certain provisions of Nevada law create rights that might be deemed material to our shareholders. Other provisions might delay or make more difficult acquisitions of our stock or changes in our control or might also have the effect of preventing changes in our management or might make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that some of our shareholders may believe to be in their best interests. These provisions are described below.
Dissenters' Rights. Among the rights granted under Nevada law which might be considered material is the right for shareholders to dissent from certain corporate actions and obtain payment for their shares (see Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") 92A.380-390). This right is subject to exceptions, summarized below, and arises in the event of mergers or plans of exchange. This right normally applies if shareholder approval of the corporate action is required either by Nevada law or by the terms of the articles of incorporation.
A shareholder does not have the right to dissent with respect to any plan of merger or exchange, if the shares held by the shareholder are part of a class of shares which are:
£
listed on a national securities exchange,
£
included in the national market system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, or
£
held of record by not less than 2,000 holders.
This exception notwithstanding, a shareholder will still have a right of dissent if it is provided for in the articles of incorporation or if the shareholders are required under the plan of merger or exchange to accept anything but cash or owner's interests, or a combination of the two, in the surviving or acquiring entity, or in any other entity falling in any of the three categories described above in this paragraph.
23
Inspection Rights . Nevada law also specifies that shareholders are to have the right to inspect company records (see NRS 78.105). This right extends to any person who has been a shareholder of record for at least six months immediately preceding his demand. It also extends to any person holding, or authorized in writing by the holders of, at least 5% of outstanding shares. Shareholders having this right are to be granted inspection rights upon five days' written notice. The records covered by this right include official copies of (1) the articles of incorporation, and all amendments thereto, (2) bylaws and all amendments thereto; and (3) a stock ledger or a duplicate stock ledger, revised annually, containing the names, alphabetically arranged, of all persons who are stockholders of the corporation, showing their places of residence, if known, and the number of shares held by them, respectively. In lieu of the stock ledger or duplicate stock ledger, Nevada law provides that the corporation may keep a statement setting out the name of the custodian of the stock ledger or duplicate stock ledger, and the present and complete post office address, including street and number, if any, where the stock ledger or duplicate stock ledger specified in this section is kept.
Control Share Acquisitions. Sections 78.378 to 78.3793 of Nevada law contain provisions that may prevent any person acquiring a controlling interest in a Nevada-registered company from exercising voting rights. To the extent that these rights support the voting power of minority shareholders, these rights may also be deemed material. These provisions will be applicable to us as soon as we have 200 shareholders of record with at least 100 of these having addresses in Nevada as reflected on our stock ledger. While we do not yet have the required number of shareholders in Nevada or elsewhere, it is possible that at some future point we will reach these numbers and, accordingly, these provisions will become applicable. We do not intend to notify shareholders when we have reached the number of shareholders specified under these provisions of Nevada law. Shareholders can learn this information pursuant to the inspection rights described above and can see the approximate number of our shareholders by checking under Item 5 of our annual reports on Form 10-KSB. This form is required to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 90 days of the close of each fiscal year following the effectiveness of our registration statement of which this is a part, absent timely request for 15 calendar day extension. You can view these and our other filings at www.sec.gov in the "EDGAR" database.
Under NRS Sections 78.378 to 78.3793, an acquiring person who acquires a controlling interest in company shares may not exercise voting rights on any of these shares unless these voting rights are granted by a majority vote of our disinterested shareholders at a special shareholders' meeting held upon the request and at the expense of the acquiring person. If the acquiring person's shares are accorded full voting rights and the acquiring person acquires control shares with a majority or more of all the voting power, any shareholder, other than the acquiring person, who does not vote for authorizing voting rights for the control shares, is entitled to demand payment for the fair value of their shares, and we must comply with the demand. An "acquiring person" means any person who, individually or acting with others, acquires or offers to acquire, directly or indirectly, a controlling interest in our shares. "Controlling interest" means the ownership of our outstanding voting shares sufficient to enable the acquiring person, individually or acting with others, directly or indirectly, to exercise one-fifth or more but less than one-third, one-third or more but less than a majority, or a majority or more of the voting power of our shares in the election of our directors. Voting rights must be given by a majority of our disinterested shareholders as each threshold is reached or exceeded. "Control shares" means the company's outstanding voting shares that an acquiring person acquires or offers to acquire in an acquisition or within 90 days immediately preceding the date when the acquiring person becomes an acquiring person.
These Nevada statutes do not apply if a company's articles of incorporation or bylaws in effect on the tenth day following the acquisition of a controlling interest by an acquiring person provide that these provisions do not apply.
According to NRS 78.378, the provisions referred to above will not restrict our directors from taking action to protect the interests of our Company and its shareholders, including without limitation, adopting or executing plans, arrangements or instruments that deny rights, privileges, power or authority to a holder of a specified number of shares or percentage of share ownership or voting power. Likewise, these provisions do not prevent directors or shareholders from including stricter requirements in our Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws relating to the acquisition of a controlling interest in the Company.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not exclude us from the restrictions imposed by NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, nor do they impose any more stringent requirements.
24
Certain Business Combinations. Sections 78.411 to 78.444 of the Nevada law may restrict our ability to engage in a wide variety of transactions with an "interested shareholder." As was discussed above in connection with NRS 78.378 to 78.3793, these provisions could be considered material to our shareholders, particularly to minority shareholders. They might also have the effect of delaying or making more difficult acquisitions of our stock or changes in our control. These sections of NRS are applicable to any Nevada company with 200 or more stockholders of record and that has a class of securities registered under Section 12 of the 1934 Securities Exchange Act, unless the company's articles of incorporation provide otherwise. By this registration statement, we are registering our common stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act.
These provisions of Nevada law prohibit us from engaging in any "combination" with an interested stockholder for three years after the interested stockholder acquired the shares that cause him to become an interested shareholder, unless he had prior approval of our Board of Directors. The term "combination" is described in NRS 78.416 and includes, among other things, mergers, sales or purchases of assets, and issuances or reclassifications of securities. If the combination did not have prior approval, the interested shareholder may proceed after the three-year period only if the shareholder receives approval from a majority of our disinterested shares or the offer meets the requirements for fairness that are specified in NRS 78.441-42. For the above provisions, "resident domestic corporation" means a Nevada corporation that has 200 or more shareholders. An "interested stockholder" is defined in NSR 78.423 as someone
who is either:
£
the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding voting shares; or
£
our affiliate or associate and who within three years immediately before the date in question, was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of our outstanding shares at that time.
Directors' Duties. Section 78.138 of the Nevada law allows our directors and officers, in exercising their powers to further our interests, to consider the interests of our employees, suppliers, creditors and customers. They can also consider the economy of the state and the nation, the interests of the community and of society and our long-term and short-term interests and shareholders, including the possibility that these interests may be best served by our continued independence. Our directors may resist a change or potential change in control if they, by a majority vote of a quorum, determine that the change or potential change is opposed to or not in our best interest. Our board of directors may consider these interests or have reasonable grounds to believe that, within a reasonable time, any debt which might be created as a result of the change in control would cause our assets to be less than our liabilities, render us insolvent, or cause us to file for bankruptcy protection
Amendments to Bylaws - Our articles of incorporation provide that the power to adopt, alter, amend, or repeal our bylaws is vested exclusively with the board of directors. In exercising this discretion, our board of directors could conceivably alter our bylaws in ways that would affect the rights of our shareholders and the ability of any shareholder or group to effect a change in our control; however, the board would not have the right to do so in a way that would violate law or the applicable terms of our articles of incorporation.
Item 12.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
MDS has entered into an agreement regarding our president lending funds to us if necessary. No amounts were outstanding under this agreement as of December 31, 2007.
Our office space is provided to us by our president which serves as our principal address. We paid rent of $4,800 in each of 2006 and 2005 for use of these facilities. There is no written lease agreement.
In May 2007, we sold 100,000 shares of our common stock to Kenneth Craig, a director who is also our presidents father, for $100.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors
Medical Design Studios, Inc.
Aurora, Colorado
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Medical Design Studios, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related statements of operations, stockholders equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Medical Design Studios, Inc. as of December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Notes to the Financial Statements
December 31, 2007
NOTE 1 -ORGANIZATION
Medical Design Studios, Inc. (MDS or the Company) was founded as an unincorporated business in January 2004 and became a C corporation in the State of Nevada on February 1, 2005. The Company is a digital medical illustrator and animator providing digital displays and enhancements to companies that assist attorneys to prepare or enhance exhibits for trials involving medical issues.
The acquisition of Medical Design Studios (Predecessor) by Medical Design Studios, Inc. (MDS) has been accounted for as a reverse acquisition for financial accounting purposes. The reverse merger is deemed a capital transaction and the net assets of Predecessor (the accounting acquirer) are carried forward to MDS (the legal acquirer and the reporting entity) at their carrying value before the combination. The acquisition process utilizes the capital structure of MDS and the assets and liabilities of Predecessor which are recorded at historical cost. Since MDS had no operations prior to the reverse merger, the financial statements of Predecessor and MDS are being combined for the period from January 1, 2004 through February 1, 2005. The equity of MDS is the historical equity of Predecessor retroactively restated to reflect the number of shares issued by MDS in the transaction.
Current Developments
On March 14, 2008, Justin N. Craig, the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer, privately sold 9,140,000 shares of the Companys common stock, constituting 91.4% of the Companys outstanding shares and all of the shares owned beneficially by him, to Vision Opportunity Master Fund, Ltd. Certain other of the Companys stockholders also sold shares of the Companys common stock to Vision Opportunity Master Fund. As a result of these privately-negotiated sales, a change in control occurred from Mr. Craig to Vision Opportunity Master Fund.
On March 17, 2008, pursuant to prior approvals by stockholders owning in excess of a majority of the voting power of the Companys outstanding shares, the Company effected a 2-for-1 reverse stock split of the Companys outstanding shares of common stock.
All share and per share amounts in these financial statements have been adjusted to give retroactive effect to the reverse stock split.
Following the reverse stock split, the Company has 5,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding. Of such shares, after giving effect to the privately-negotiated transactions described above, Vision Opportunity Master Fund owns 4,720,000 shares of the Companys common stock, or 94.4% of the Companys outstanding shares. Vision Opportunity Master Fund purchased these shares for a total of approximately $670,000 in cash, inclusive of related acquisition costs. The source of the funding for the cash payment was the general working capital of Vision Opportunity Master Fund.
The terms of the purchase and sale transactions were as a result of arms-length negotiations between the parties. None of the parties had any relationship with one another prior to this transaction.
The Companys officers and directors, and the business focus of our company, were not changed in connection with the purchase and sale transactions.

NOTE 2 -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Year-end
The Company has elected a fiscal year ending on December 31.
b. Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
c. 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 amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
d. Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
Net income (loss) per common share are computed pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings Per Share, and have been calculated by dividing the net loss for the year by the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding assuming that the Company incorporated as of the beginning of the first period presented.
e. Revenue Recognition
The Company follows the guidance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 Revenue Recognition, as amended by SAB No. 104 for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when all work on a project has been completed and has been accepted by the buyer and collectibility is reasonably assured.
f. Equipment
Equipment, which consists of computer equipment, is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of three years. Depreciation expense for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $3,364 and $813, respectively.
The carrying values of fixed assets are evaluated whenever changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. If necessary, the Company recognizes an impairment loss for the difference between the carrying amount of the assets and their estimated fair value. Fair value is based on current and anticipated future undiscounted cash flows. As of December 31, 2007 or 2006, no impairment has incurred.
F-8
g. Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Accounts receivable are recorded at cost. The Company considers the need for an allowance for doubtful accounts related to its accounts receivables that are deemed to have a high risk of collectibility. Management reviews its accounts receivables on a monthly basis to determine if any receivables will potentially be uncollectible. Management analyzes historical collection trends and changes in its customer payment patterns, customer concentration, and credit worthiness when evaluating the adequacy of its allowance for doubtful accounts. The Company includes any receivables balances that are determined to be uncollectible, along with a general reserve, in its overall allowance for doubtful accounts. No allowance was considered necessary at December 31, 2007
h. Fair value of financial instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties. The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities, such as cash, accounts receivable, notes payable, accrued expenses and long-term debt, approximate their fair values because of the short maturity of these instruments and market rates of interest.
i. Income Taxes
The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under this method, income taxes are provided for amounts currently payable and for amounts deferred as tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Deferred income taxes are measured using the enacted tax rates that are assumed will be in effect when the differences reverse.
j. Impact of New Accounting Standards
In June 2003, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted final rules under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (Section 404), as amended by SEC Release No. 33-8889 on February 1, 2008. Commencing with the Companys Annual Report for the year ending December 31, 2008, the Company is required to include a report of management on the Companys internal control over financial reporting. The internal control report must include a statement of managements responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the Company; of managements assessment of the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting as of year end and of the framework used by management to evaluate the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting, which report is also required to be filed as part of the Annual Report on Form 10-K. Furthermore, in the following fiscal year, it is required to file the registered independent accounting firms attestation report separately on the Companys internal control over financial reporting on whether it believes that the Company has maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurement. This Statement defines fair value as used in numerous accounting pronouncements, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosure related to the use of fair value measures in financial statements. The Statement is to be effective for the Company's financial statements issued in 2008; however, earlier application is encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the timing of adoption and the impact that adoption might have on its financial position or results of operations.
F-9
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure, on an item-by-item basis, specified financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected are required to be reported in earnings at each reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, the provisions of which are required to be applied prospectively.
In June 2007, the Emerging Issues Task Force of the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 07-3, Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future Research and Development Activities (EITF Issue No. 07-3), which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. EITF Issue No. 07-3 requires that nonrefundable advance payments for future research and development activities be deferred and capitalized. Such amounts will be recognized as an expense as the goods are delivered or the related services are performed. The Company does not expect the adoption of EITF Issue No. 07-3 to have a material impact on the financial results of the Company.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 141 (Revised 2007), Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141(R)), which requires the Company to record fair value estimates of contingent consideration and certain other potential liabilities during the original purchase price allocation, expense acquisition costs as incurred and does not permit certain restructuring activities previously allowed under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 95-3 to be recorded as a component of purchase accounting. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company will adopt this standard at the beginning of the Companys fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 for all prospective business acquisitions. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will have on its financial statements.
In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160), which causes non-controlling interests in subsidiaries to be included in the equity section of the balance sheet. SFAS No. 160 applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which shall be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. The Company will adopt this standard at the beginning of the Companys fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 for all prospective business acquisitions. The Company has not determined the effect that the adoption of SFAS No. 160 will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material effect on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
