Quarterly Report


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following analysis of the results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report.

GENERAL

Transax International Limited is a Colorado corporation and currently trades on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "TNSX.OB" and the Frankfurt and Berlin Stock Exchanges under the symbol "TX6". Please note that throughout this report, and unless otherwise noted, the words "we," "our," "us," or the "Company" refer to Transax International Limited. We are an international provider of information network solutions, products and services specifically designed for the healthcare providers and health insurance companies (collectively, the "Health Information Management Products").

CURRENT BUSINESS OPERATIONS

At the end of the first half year of 2009, we had eleven signed contracts with Healthcare Insurance companies in Brazil to develop our solutions. Two of these contracts were signed during the first half year of 2009. Currently three of our eleven contracts and are under development with our customers and awaiting final implementation. Transaction data under development is being collected in a test environment and will be subject to full roll out at a later date.

We processed 4.00 million transactions during the six month period ended June 30, 2009 compared to 4.30 million transactions during the same period in 2008. Significant new growth was achieved in the introduction of the company's WEB -based solution which increased to over 360,000 transactions per month in March 31, 2009 from 225,000 transactions in January 2009.

At the end of the six month period ended June 30, 2009, we had 14,628 solutions operational in Brazil compared with 6,688 solutions during the same period in 2008. Our installations at the end of the six month period ended June 30, 2009 included 3,475 POS solutions, 8,805 WEB solutions and 2,298 Interactive Voice Response (IVR) solutions with the balance of installations being Personal Computer (PC) and Server based solutions installed in major medical laboratories. During the six month period ending June 30, 2009 we installed over 5,000 new WEB solutions in Brazil.

During the six month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company maintained its current staffing levels in response to the development of the Company's HOSP solution, a solution which would allow real time, on-line healthcare transactions to be undertaken in an in-patient hospital environment. Current transactions are generally limited to real time, on-line transactions in the out-patient environment.

STOCK PURCHASE AND OPTION AGREEMENT

On March 26, 2008, our board of directors, pursuant to unanimous written consent resolutions approved the execution of a stock purchase and option agreement (the "Agreement") with Engetech, Inc., a Turks & Caicos corporation controlled and 20% owned by Americo de Castro, director and President of our subsidiary, Medlink Conectividade, and 80% owned by Flavio Gonzalez Duarte (the "Buyer"). In accordance with the terms and provisions of the Agreement, we sold to the Buyer 45% of the total issued and outstanding stock of our wholly-owned subsidiary, Transax Limited. Transax Limited owns 100% of the total issued and outstanding shares of: (i) Medlink Conectividade; and (ii) Medlink.

In accordance with further terms and provisions of the Agreement: (i) we sold 45 of the 100 shares of Transax Limited's issued and outstanding, (the "Initial Shares"), with an option to purchase the remaining 55 shares of Transax Limited, (the "Option"); and (ii) the Buyer agreed to pay us an aggregate purchase price of $3,200,000 for the Initial Shares. A total of $937,700 was received through December 31, 2008. We did not receive any proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The Company also has received monies as reimbursement for legal fees which are excluded from these amounts as they were used to offset the associated expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we received $15,000 of such reimbursement, and a total of $0 of reimbursement was received during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

The balance due and owing by the Buyer is evidenced by an installment note secured by a pledge of all of Initial Shares. As of the date of this report, the Buyer is default on its payments of principal and interest. At June 30, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, as amended, the Company has a remaining note receivable of $2,262,300 due from the Buyer. Since collection of the remaining purchase price is not reasonably assured, the Company recorded the full amount of the purchase price of $3,200,000 as deferred revenue and is reflecting the deferred revenue net of the remaining note receivable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company's consolidated balance sheets reflect a deferred gain on the sale of non-controlling interest of $937,700, which will be recognized as other income when collection is reasonably assured and not until all of the risks and other incidents of ownership have been passed to the buyer or when the Company invalidates the Agreement due to breach of contract. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the deferred gain on sale of non-controlling interest consists of the following:

Sale price of 45% interest in Transax Limited ...................   $ 3,200,000
Less: note receivable balance ...................................    (2,262,300)
                                                                    -----------
Deferred gain on sale of non-controlling interest in subsidiary .   $   937,700
                                                                    ===========

As of the date of this quarterly report, the Buyer is in default by $2,262,500 in periodic payments. We are currently in discussions with the buyer and plan to conclude any renegotiation of contract terms on or about December 31, 2009.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We continually evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, recovery of long-lived assets, income taxes, the change in fair value of our derivatives, and the valuation of equity transactions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Any future changes to these estimates and assumptions could cause a material change to our reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the financial statements

We review the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment at least annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets is measured by the comparison of its carrying amount to the undiscounted cash flows that the asset or asset group is expected to generate. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the property, if any, exceeds its fair market value.

Under the criteria set forth in SFAS 86, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed", capitalization of software development costs begins upon the establishment of technological feasibility of the software. The establishment of technological feasibility and the ongoing assessment of the recoverability of these costs require considerable judgment by management with respect to certain external factors, including, but not limited to, anticipated future gross product revenues, estimated economic life, and changes in software and hardware technology. Capitalized software development costs are amortized utilizing the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the software not to exceed three years. We regularly review the carrying value of software development assets and a loss is recognized when the unamortized costs are deemed unrecoverable based on the estimated cash flows to be generated from the applicable software.

Revenue Recognition - Our revenues, which do not require any significant production, modification or customization for the Company's targeted customers and do not have multiple elements, is recognized when (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred; (3) the Company's fee is fixed and determinable, and; (4) collectability is probable.

Substantially all of our revenues are derived from the processing of applications by healthcare providers for approval of patients for healthcare services from insurance carriers. Our software or hardware devices containing our software are installed at the healthcare provider's location. We offer transaction services to authorize and adjudicate identity of the patient and obtain "real time" approval for any necessary medical procedure from the insurance carrier. Our transaction-based solutions provide remote access for healthcare providers to connect with contracted insurance carriers. Transaction services are provided through contracts with insurance carriers and others, which specify the services to be utilized and the markets to be served. Our clients are charged for these services on a per transaction basis. Pricing varies depending on the type of transactions being processed under the terms of the contract for which services are provided. Transaction revenues are recognized in the period in which the transactions are performed.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)." FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon either mandatory or optional conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, "Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt issued with Stock Purchase Warrants." Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity's non-convertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has adopted FSP APB 14-1 beginning January 1, 2009, and this standard must be applied on a retroactive basis. The adoption of FSP APB 14-1 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." This standard is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States for non-governmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board's amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The adoption of SFAS 162 did not have a material impact on the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

On June 16, 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, "Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities," to address the question of whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting. The FSP determines that unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to dividend payments should be included in earnings per share calculations. The guidance will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of FSP EITF 03-6-1 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2008, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 07-5, "Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) is Indexed to an Entity's Own Stock." EITF 07-5 mandates a two-step process for evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument or embedded feature is indexed to the entity's own stock. Warrants that a company issues that contain a strike price adjustment feature, upon the adoption of EITF 07-5, are no longer being considered indexed to the company's own stock. Accordingly, adoption of EITF 07-5 will change the current classification (from equity to liability) and the related accounting for such warrants outstanding at that date. EITF 07-5 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of EITF 07-5 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

On October 10, 2008, the FASB issued FSP 157-3, "Determining the Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset Is Not Active," which clarifies the application of SFAS 157 when the market for a financial asset is inactive. Specifically, FSP 157-3 clarifies how (1) management's internal assumptions should be considered in measuring fair value when observable data are not present, (2) observable market information from an inactive market should be taken into account, and (3) the use of broker quotes or pricing services should be considered in assessing the relevance of observable and unobservable data to measure fair value. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of FSP 157-3 on the Company's consolidated financial.

In November 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-7, "Accounting for Defensive Intangible Assets," or EITF No. 08-7. EITF No. 08-7 discusses that when an entity acquired in a business combination or an asset acquisition an intangible asset that it did not intend to actively use, otherwise known as a defensive asset, the entity historically allocated little or no value to the defensive asset. However, with the issuance of SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 157 the entity must recognize a value for the defensive asset that reflects the asset's highest and best use based on market assumptions. Upon the effective date of both SFAS No. 141(R) and SFAS No. 157, acquirers will generally assign a greater value to a defensive asset than would typically have been assigned under SFAS No. 141. EITF No. 08-7 will be effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. EITF No. 08-7 will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is after fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of EITF No. 08-7 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS No. 141 (R), "Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies," or FSP SFAS 141 (R). FSP SFAS 141 (R) amends and clarifies SFAS 141, "Business Combinations," with regard to the initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosures of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. FSP SFAS No. 141 (R) applies to all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination that arise from contingencies that would be within the scope of SFAS 5, "Accounting for Contingencies", if not acquired or assumed in a business combination, except for assets or liabilities arising from contingencies that are subject to specific guidance in SFAS 141 (R). FSP SFAS 141 (R) is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. FSP SFAS 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is after fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS 141 (R) did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, which provides guidance on how to determine the fair value of assets and liabilities when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability has significantly decreased when compared with normal market activity for the asset or liability as well as guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS. 157-4 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements..

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, which amends the requirements for the recognition and measurement of other-than-temporary impairments for debt securities by modifying the current "intent and ability" indicator. Under FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, an other-than-temporary impairment must be recognized if we have the intent to sell the debt security or, more likely than not, will be required to sell the debt security before its anticipated recovery. In addition, FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 requires impairments related to credit loss, which is the difference between the present value of the cash flows expected to be collected and the amortized cost basis for each security, to be recognized in earnings while impairments related to all other factors to be recognized in other comprehensive income. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP 107-1 and 28-1. This FSP amends SFAS 107, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments not measured on the balance sheet at fair value in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. Prior to this FSP, fair values for these assets and liabilities were only disclosed annually. This FSP applies to all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107 and requires all entities to disclose the method(s) and significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. This FSP shall be effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. An entity may adopt this FSP early only if it also elects to adopt FSP 157-4, 115-2 and 124-2 early. This FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption. The adoption of this FSP did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Effective June 30, 2009, we adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, "Subsequent Events" ("SFAS 165"), which was issued by the FASB in May 2009 with required adoption for interim or annual periods ending after June 15, 2009. SFAS 165 establishes standards for accounting and disclosure for events occurring after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. It defines the period after the balance sheet date during which events or transactions should be evaluated for potential recognition or disclosure, and it provides guidance on recognition and disclosure of actual transactions or events occurring after the balance sheet date. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, "The FASB Accounting Standards Codification(TM) and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles - a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162" ("SFAS 168"). SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification(TM) ("Codification") as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in preparing financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. Once effective, all guidance in the Codification will carry the same level of authority, and all future changes or additions to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles will be issued as Accounting Standards Updates. SFAS 168 does not make any changes to existing accounting guidance that will impact the Company's accounting and financial reporting. It is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We will begin applying the guidance in our financial statements beginning with the interim period ending September 30, 2009.
