<PAGE>
PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
Medcom USA, Incorporated was incorporated in August 1991 under the name
Sims Communications, Inc. The corporate name was changed to Medcom USA,
Incorporated in October 1999.
Medcom's executive offices are located at 18001 Cowan, Suite C & D, Irvine
California 92614. Medcom's telephone number is (949) 261-6665.
Medcom's initial business was the rental of cellular telephones through a
stand-alone dispensing station known as an Automated Communications Distribution
Center. Prior to 1996 Medcom operated ACDC units for its own account and also
sold franchises which provided third parties the right to operate ACDC units at
various franchised locations. At October 31, 1999, Medcom was not operating any
ACDC units and Medcom's only remaining franchisee had four ACDC units in
operation.
In December 1996 Medcom acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of
Link International, Inc., a corporation which manufactures and distributes
machines which dispense prepaid calling cards and terminals which are used by
merchants to perform a variety of transactions, including accepting credit cards
and bank debit cards in payment for sales of merchandise and services. In June
1999 Medcom sold substantially all of the assets associated with Link and
recorded a gain on the sale of approximately $2,000.
In May 1998 Medcom acquired One Medical Services, Inc., a corporation
which provides a financial processing and communications network for the home
medical equipment industry. In July 1999 Medcom licensed its rights to the One
Medical Service Network to an unrelated third party for $1,377,000, of which
$567,000 has been paid and the remainder of which ($810,000) will be paid in
accordance with the terms of an unsecured promissory note which is payable prior
to July 2006.
In January 2000 the holders of Medcom's Series C preferred shares
converted the preferred shares into 3,490,000 shares of Medcom's common stock.
In payment of accrued dividends and penalties Medcom made cash payments of
$160,567 and issued 60,000 shares of its common stock to the holders of the
Series C preferred shares. For assisting in arranging the conversion of the
preferred shares, MedCom issued 175,000 shares of common stock to Morse
Financial Consulting, Inc. The effective conversion price of the Series C
Preferred shares was $0.50 per share. The closing price of Medcom's common stock
was $0.91 per share on December 27, 1999, the date the agreement was made to
convert the Series C preferred shares.
As of the date of this prospectus substantially all of Medcom's revenues
were generated by its Justmed.com, Movie Vision and DCB divisions.
JustMed.com
The JustMed.com division involves three components:
o The Medcard health insurance verification and billing system
o The JustMed.com website
<PAGE>
o The Med Store
MedCard System
In November 1998 Medcom acquired an exclusive world wide license to
software programs and related technology known as the MedCard system. The
MedCard system is an electronic processing system which consolidates insurance
eligibility verification and processes medical claims and approvals of credit
card and debit card payments in under 30 seconds through a single, small
terminal. Using the MedCard system, health care providers are relieved from the
problems associated with eligibility confirmation and billings, healthcare
providers' reimbursements are accelerated and account receivables are reduced.
The time it takes to collect payments from insurance providers decreases from
months to days. Medcom obtains revenues from the sale of its processing
terminals and from fees received from every transaction processed by the
terminals.
As of June 30, 2000 the MedCard system was able to retrieve on-line
eligibility and authorization information from 125 medical insurance companies
and plans and electronically process and submit billings for its healthcare
providers to over 1650 companies. These insurance providers include CIGNA,
Prudential, Oxford Health Plan, United Health Plans, Blue Cross, Medicaid,
Aetna, Blue Cross/Blue Sheild and Metrahealth.
The license was acquired from Dream Technologies, LLC and MedCard
Management Systems, Inc. in consideration for $450,000 in cash, 100,000 shares
of Medcom's common stock and an option, which was subsequently exercised, to
purchase an additional 350,000 shares of common stock at a price of $1.28 at any
time prior to November 10, 2001.
Medcom also agreed to pay Dream a royalty, not to exceed $250,000 per
month, equal to 25% of the net revenues derived by Medcom from the MedCard
system. Once royalties in any month reach $250,000, Medcom is obligated to pay
Dream 10% of the net revenues derived from the MedCard system during that
particular month. The term net revenues means the gross revenues received from
the use of the MedCard Systems less:
o Terminal lease costs of up to $50 per month,:
o Commissions payable to agents which place terminals with end users; and
o Network costs which include (i) claim fees payable to data vendors, (ii)
charges for verification of insurance converage and (iii) similar
telecommunications charges related to obtaining claims processing and/or
benefits verification information.
In May 2000 the license agreement with Dream was amended such that Medcom
acquired all rights to the MedCard system including all software programs,
intellectual property, trade names and existing contracts. The amendment
effectively terminated the original License Agreement, except that the royalty
provisions of the original license agreement will remain in effect until
November 2013. In consideration for this amendment, Dream received 100,000
shares of the Medcom's restricted common stock and a warrant to purchase 400,000
shares of the Medcom's common stock at $3.57 per share at any time prior to May
11, 2003.
<PAGE>
Website
The JustMed.com website is an internet website which began functioning on
July 1, 1999. The website advertises healthcare products and services which are
available to the general public and provides medical information to the general
public. Persons in need of healthcare products and services can access the
website and order products or transfer to the more detailed websites maintained
by the companies which provide the products and services. Medcom expects to
generate revenues from this website by charging providers of healthcare products
and services fees for advertising on the website. Medcom will also receive fees
when a person transfers from Medcom's website to the websites maintained by a
provider of healthcare products or services. Medcom expects that advertisers on
its website will include distributors of healthcare equipment and products,
hospitals, physician practice groups, and clinics.
Med Store
The Med Store is a feature of Medcom's website which allows consumers to
use their computers to purchase a variety of healthcare products and services.
Items available for purchase include canes, crutches, walkers, bath chairs,
blood pressure units, cold therapies, exercise equipment and hot and cold packs.
Movie Vision
In January 1998 Medcom acquired a business known as Movie Vision from
Moviebar USA, Incorporated and Vectorvision, Incorporated. Movie Vision rents
video cassettes, primarily containing motion pictures, through automated
dispensing units in hotels. Movie Vision currently has video cassette dispensing
machines in approximately 110 hotels in the United States.
DCB Actuaries & Consultants
In April 2000, Medcom acquired 100% of the stock of DCB Actuaries &
Consultants SRO (DCB), a Czech Republic based company and certain technology and
intellectual property from DSM, LLC, a Florida limited liability company. DCB
develops and markets software programs which are used in providing information
to health care providers, hospitals, insurance companies and insurance plans.
DCB is headquartered in Brno, Czech Republic.
DCB's software systems have the following features:
o Risk Management - Actuarial analysis and projected monthly costs on a
per member basis. These features are useful for insurance companies,
managed care plans and hospitals.
o Clinical Services - Electronic patient record system, patient care pathways
and on-line medical documents. The care pathways provide a computer
generated standard treatment program based upon the patient's particular
background and symptoms, which can be compared to the actual treatment
program being used. On-line documents include x-rays, diagnostic results,
lab reports, EKGs and physician notes. This component allows a healthcare
provider to review these documents on-line, from the home or office. More
<PAGE>
than one physician in multiple locations can review the records
simultaneously, thereby improving the consultation process.
o Administrative and Management Functions - Quality assurance, claims
analysis, plan performance and market/sales analysis. The system enables
healthcare providers or managers to review their performance against
international standards and budgets or the results of other similarly
sized or located organizations. The reports can be tailored to meet the
information needs of any user.
o Patient Services - Patients will also benefit from DCB's Health
Information Gateway which will allow patients to monitor personal health
profiles in addition to their own medical treatment histories. Early
warning and reminder alerts will also be available on line.
Medcom acquired DCB and the technology from DSM for $1,900,000 in cash and
2,850 shares of Medcom's Series D Preferred Stock. In connection with these
acquisitions, Medcom incurred costs of approximately $140,000 and paid
commissions of $100,000 in cash and 37,129 shares of its common stock which
shares were valued at $150,000. Medcom also paid $250,000 to the existing
employees of DCB. The purchase price was the result of an offer made by the
sellers, and a determination by Medcom that the value of the business and assets
being acquired, viewed in light of Medcom's present and proposed operations,
exceeded the offered price.
The Offering
This prospectus relates to the sale of shares of Medcom's common stock:
o issuable upon the exercise of warrants and options which were previously
issued by Medcom, and
o held by certain persons who either purchased the shares from Medcom in
private offerings, received the shares for services provided to Medcom,
or received the shares in settlement of amounts owed to these persons by
Medcom.
The holders of the warrants and options, to the extent they exercise
the warrants or options, and the owners of the shares of common stock described
above are referred to in this prospectus as the selling shareholders. If all
warrants and options held by the selling shareholders are exercised, Medcom will
receive approximately $4,718,000, which will be used to fund Medcom's
operations. Medcom will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares by
the selling shareholders.
As of June 30, 2000, Medcom had 31,820,966 outstanding shares of common
stock. Assuming all warrants and options held by the selling shareholders are
exercised, there will be 35,875,524 shares of common stock issued and
outstanding. The number of outstanding shares before and after this offering
does not give effect to shares which may be issued upon the exercise and/or
conversion of other options, warrants or convertible securities previously
issued by Medcom. See "Comparative Share Data".

RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should be aware that ownership of Medcom's common
stock involves risks which could adversely affect the value of their holdings of
common stock. Medcom does not make, nor has it authorized any other person to
make, any representations about the future market value of Medcom's common
stock.
The securities offered should be purchased only by persons who can afford
to lose their entire investment. Prospective investors should read this entire
prospectus and carefully consider, among others, the following risk factors in
addition to the other information in this prospectus prior to making an
investment.
<PAGE>
There can be no assurance that Medcom will be able to generate sufficient
revenues and become profitable.
Medcom has incurred losses since it was formed in 1991. From the date of
its formation through March 31, 2000, Medcom incurred net losses of
approximately $(33,000,000). During the nine months ended March 31, 2000 Medcom
had a loss of $(5,600,000). Medcom expects to continue to incur losses until
such time, if ever, as it earns net income. During the year ending June 30, 2000
Medcom was not able to pay all of its liabilities as they became due. MedCom's
independent accountants have stated in their report to MedCom's financial
statements for the year ended June 30, 1999 that due to MedCom's recurring
losses from operations there is substantial doubt as to MedCom's ability to
continue in business.
Medcom Needs Additional Capital to Continue in Business.
This offering is being made on behalf of certain selling shareholders.
Medcom will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares offered by the
selling shareholders. If Medcom is unable to finance the acquisition of
additional equipment needed for its operations, Medcom projects that it will
need approximately $1,000,000 in additional funding before Medcom's revenues
equals its expenses, although there is no assurance that Medcom's projections in
this regard will be accurate. There can be no assurance that Medcom will be able
to obtain additional funding, if needed, or if available on terms satisfactory
to Medcom, in which case Medcom may be unable to continue in business.
Options, Warrants and Convertible Securities issued by Medcom may result in
substantial dilution to Medcom's Shareholders.
Medcom has issued options, warrants and other convertible securities which
allow the holders to acquire up to 15,004,905 additional shares, or 46%, of
Medcom's common stock. Medcom has agreed, at its expense, to register for public
sale up to 4,054,558 shares of common stock underlying these derivative
securities. The sale of these shares over a short period of time may cause the
price of Medcom's common stock to decline. See "Comparative Share Data" for more
information concerning the derivative securities issued by Medcom.
Medcom's operations in foreign countries involves numerous risks.
As a result of Medcom's acquisition of DCB Actuaries & Consultants Medcom,
through DCB, now operates in foreign locations. As a result, Medcom is subject
to certain business risks which arise from operating in foreign countries,
including exposure to periodically volatile foreign economic, monetary and
currency conditions, compliance with foreign law and regulations as well as
issues relating to the conduct of day-to-day business in foreign language and
foriegn culture business environments. Additional international considerations
include high travel costs as well as time and distance barriers in the
management and development of the business. There can be no assurance that
Medcom will be able to operate successfully in foreign countries.
<PAGE>
Medcom's need for capital may result in the issuance of additional shares of
common stock which may result in substantial dilution to Medcom's shareholders.
This offering is being made on behalf of certain selling shareholders.
Medcom will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares offered by the
selling shareholders. Due to Medcom's history of losses, it is likely that
Medcom's continued operations will depend upon funds received from the sale of
Medcom's common or preferred stock The issuance of these shares and their sale,
or potential for resale, in the public market may cause the price of Medcom's
common stock to decline. There can be no assurance that Medcom will be able to
obtain additional funding, if needed, or if available on terms satisfactory to
Medcom. During the twelve months ending June 30, 2000 Medcom's outstanding
shares increased from 16,727,500 shares to 31,820,966 shares.
Prices for Medcom's Common Stock have been highly volatile and will be
influenced by a number of factors, including the depth and liquidity of the
market for Medcom's Common Stock, Medcom's financial results, investor
perceptions of Medcom, and general economic and other conditions.
There is No Assurance that Medcom's Common Stock Will Continue to be Listed on
NASDAQ.
Although Medcom's Common Stock is currently listed on the NASDAQ Small-Cap
Market, the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. requires, for
continued inclusion on the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market, that Medcom must maintain
$2,000,000 in tangible net worth and that the bid price of Medcom's Common Stock
must be at least $1.00.
If Medcom's securities were delisted from the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market,
Medcom's securities would trade in the unorganized interdealer over-the-counter
market through the OTC Bulletin Board which provides significantly less
liquidity than the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market. Securities which are not traded on
the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market may be more difficult to sell and may be subject to
more price volatility than NASDAQ listed securities. There can be no assurance
that Medcom's securities will remain listed on the NASDAQ Small-Cap Market.
If Medcom's Common Stock was delisted from NASDAQ, trades in such
securities may then be subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, which rule imposes certain requirements on broker/dealers who sell
securities subject to the rule to persons other than established customers and
accredited investors. For transactions covered by the rule, brokers/dealers must
make a special suitability determination for purchasers of the securities and
receive the purchaser's written agreement to the transaction prior to sale. Rule
15g-9, if applicable to sales of Medcom's securities, may affect the ability of
broker/dealers to sell Medcom's securities and may also affect the ability of
investors in this offering to sell such securities in the secondary market and
otherwise affect the trading market in Medcom's securities.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has rules that regulate
broker/dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks". Penny
stocks generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other
than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on
the NASDAQ system, provided that current price and volume information with
<PAGE>
respect to transactions in that security is provided by the exchange or system).
The penny stock rules require a broker/dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny
stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk
disclosure document prepared by the Commission that provides information about
penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The
broker/dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer
quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker/dealer and its
salesperson in the transaction, and monthly account statements showing the
market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. The bid and
offer quotations, and the broker/dealer and salesperson compensation
information, must be given to the customer orally or in writing prior to
effecting the transaction and must be given to the customer in writing before or
with the customer's confirmation. These disclosure requirements may have the
effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for a
stock that becomes subject to the penny stock rules.
Although Medcom's common stock has never been delisted from the NASDAQ
SmallCap market, and although as of June 30, 2000 Medcom met all conditions for
continued listing on the NASDAQ SmallCap market, Medcom's common stock has been
the subject of several NASDAQ delisting proceedings during the past three years.
Medcom's recent changes in its business may not result in profits.
During the summer of 1999 Medcom began directing its efforts towards its
JustMed.com division. The JustMed.com division is in the early stage of
development and has a limited operating history. The success of the JustMed.com
division will be dependent on convincing healthcare providers to use the Medcard
system for insurance verification and billing. There is no assurance that the
JustMed.com division will gain acceptance from healthcare providers or the
general public or that the JustMed.com division will generate any profits.
In April 2000 Medcom acquired DCB Actuaries & Consultants. The success of
Medcom's DCB division will depend upon Medcom's ability to sell DCB's software
systems to hospitals and insurance companies and plans. There can be no
assurance that Medcom's DCB division will be profitable.
There can be no assurance that Medcom will be able to compete with the numerous
other companies which are engaged in Medcom's lines of business.
There are many companies that will compete with Medcom at some level.
Competing health insurance processing systems include Envoy, Medical Manager,
Medic, Spot Check and Mediphis. Leading consumer healthcare websites include AOL
Health Channel, Thrive Online, drkoop.com, Mayo Clinic Health Oasis,
InteliHealth, Mediconsult.com, and OnHealth. Medcom anticipates that its DCB
division will compete with Eclipsys, Healtheon/Web MD, Medisoft and
McKesson/HBOC. Many of these competitors are far better capitalized than Medcom
and control significant market share in their respective industry segments.
Medcom is Dependent on the Internet and Telecommunications Carriers for its
Operations.
Medcom's website is dependent upon the ability of the general public to
use the internet. Medcom's Medcard system and certain features of DCB's systems
<PAGE>
rely on telecommunications carriers to transmit data. A major equipment failure
affecting the systems of internet service providers or providers of
telecommunications services, or the inability of telecommunications carriers to
provide or expand their current levels of service to Medcom, could have a
material adverse effect on Medcom's operations.
Medcom may face potential liability for information carried on its website.
The legal obligations and potential liability of companies which provide
information by means of the internet are not well defined and are evolving. Any
liability of Medcom resulting from information carried on or disseminated
through its website could have a material adverse effect on its business,
operating results and financial condition.
Medcom may be unable to protect its technology.
Certain technology used by Medcom is covered by U.S. patents. There is no
assurance that any patents issued or licensed to Medcom will protect Medcom's
technology as disputes may arise between Medcom and others as to the scope and
validity of these or other patents. Any defense of the patents could prove
costly and time consuming and there can be no assurance that Medcom will be in a
position, or will deem it advisable, to carry on such a defense. With respect to
Medcom's unpatented proprietary technology, there is no assurance that others
may not acquire or independently develop the same or similar technology.

A. Between November 1998 and January 1999, Medcom sold 1,700 shares of its
series C preferred stock (the "Preferred Stock") to a group of institutional
<PAGE>
investors for $1,700,000. In connection with this offering, Medcom issued to
Settondown Capital International, Ltd., the sales agent for the offering, 45
shares of series C preferred stock. The Series C preferred shares were
subsequently converted into 3,490,000 shares of Medcom's common stock.
In connection with the issuance of the Series C Preferred Stock Medcom
also:
(i) Issued to the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, on a pro rata
basis, warrants which collectively allow for the purchase of up to
113,333 shares of Medcom's common stock. The warrants are
exercisable at a price of $1.00 per share at any time prior to July
31, 2004.
(ii) Issued to Settondown Capital International, Ltd., warrants for the
purchase of 37,500 shares of Medcom's common stock and 14,769 shares
of common stock. The warrants for the purchase of the 37,500 shares
of common stock are exercisable at a price ranging between $1.27 and
$1.50 per share at any time prior to December 31, 2003. Settondown,
as the holder of 45 shares of the Series C preferred stock, also
received 3,000 warrants which have the same terms as the warrants
referred to in (i) above.
B. In connection with certain private offerings, Medcom sold shares of common
stock and warrants. The warrants sold in these private offerings are exercisable
at prices ranging between $0.44 and $2.17 per share and expire between November
2002 and April 2004. Medcom has also entered into a number of agreements with
various financial and other consultants. Pursuant to the terms of these
agreements, Medcom has issued to the consultants shares of common stock, plus
warrants to purchase additional shares of common stock. The warrants referred to
above are exercisable at prices ranging between $0.59 and $5.00 per share and
expire between November 2001 and April 2004. Up to 3,900,725 shares of common
stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants held by certain private investors
and consultants are being offered to the public by means of this prospectus. See
"Selling Shareholders".
C. Options are held by present and former officers, directors and employees of
Medcom. The options may be exercised at prices ranging between $0.52 and
$8.00 per share. Approximately 75% of these options are currently
exercisable.
D. Effective May 30, 1998 Medcom acquired One Medical Services, Inc. in
consideration for 142,350 shares of common stock and 187,500 warrants
exercisable at $2.00 per share at any time prior to May 30, 2003. The shares
issuable upon the exercise of these warrants are being offered for resale by
means of this prospectus. Medcom has also agreed to issue to the former owners
of One Medical up to 1,485,000 additional shares of common stock depending on
the future operating of One Medical. The number of shares to be issued each
quarter will be determined by dividing the quarterly net income of One Medical
(for each fiscal quarterly beginning June 30, 1998 and ending June 30, 2001), by
the average closing price of Medcom's common stock for the five day trading
period prior to the end of each quarter. As of June 30, 2000 Medcom had not
issued any additional shares to the former owners of One Medical.
In November 1998 Medcom acquired an exclusive world wide license to
software programs and related technology know as the MedCard system. The license
was acquired from Dream Technologies, LLC and MedCard Management Systems, Inc.
in consideration for cash, shares of Medcom's common stock and an option, which
<PAGE>
was subsequently exercised, to purchase an additional 350,000 shares of common
stock at a price of $1.28 at any time prior to November 10, 2001. In May 2000
the license agreement was amended such that Medcom acquired all rights to the
MedCard system including all software programs, intellectual property, trade
names and existing contracts. In consideration for this amendment, Dream
received 100,000 shares of the Medcom's restricted common stock and a warrant to
purchase 400,000 shares of the Medcom's common stock at $3.57 per share at any
time prior to May 11, 2003.
E. In April 2000, Medcom issued 2,850 shares of its Series D Preferred Stock in
connection with the acquisition of DCB Actuaries & Consultants and related
technology. Each Series D Preferred share is convertible at any time at the
option of the holder into 202.43 shares of Medcom's common stock. The Series D
Preferred shares will, at Medcom's option, convert into shares of Medcom's
common stock, in the manner described above, at any time after April 15 2001 so
long as the bid price of Medcom's common stock exceeds $4.94 and the shares of
common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series D Preferred shares are
either covered by an effective registration statement or are eligible for sale
pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The shares which are referred to in Notes A and B (limited to 3,900,725
shares in the case of Note B), as well as 12,618,901 shares owned by existing
shareholders, are being registered for public sale by means of this prospectus.
A total of 2,957,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of options, and
which are referred to in Note C, have been registered for public sale by means
of a registration statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission

Manner of Sale. The shares of common stock owned, or which may be
acquired, by the selling shareholders may be offered and sold by means of this
prospectus from time to time as market conditions permit in the over-the-counter
market, or otherwise, at prices and terms then prevailing or at prices related
to the then-current market price, or in negotiated transactions. These shares
may be sold by one or more of the following methods, without limitation: (a) by
a broker or dealer as agent for a selling shareholder; (b) purchases by a broker
or dealer as principal and resale by such broker or dealer for its account
pursuant to this prospectus; (c) ordinary brokerage transactions and
transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers; and (d) face-to-face
transactions between sellers and purchasers without a broker/dealer. In
effecting sales, brokers or dealers engaged by the selling shareholders may
<PAGE>
arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate. Such brokers or dealers may
receive commissions or discounts from selling shareholders in amounts to be
negotiated.
A Selling Shareholder may enter into hedging transactions with
broker-dealers and the broker-dealers may engage in short sales of Medcom's
common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume with such
Selling Shareholder, including, without limitation, in connection with the
distribution of Medcom's common stock by such broker-dealers. A Selling
Shareholder may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers
that involve the delivery of the common stock to the broker-dealers, who may
then resell or otherwise transfer such common stock. A Selling Shareholder may
also loan or pledge the common stock to a broker-dealer and the broker-dealer
may sell the common stock so loaned or upon default may sell or otherwise
transfer the pledged common stock.
Broker-dealers, underwriters or agents participating in the distribution
of Medcom's common stock as agents may receive compensation in the form of
commissions, discounts or concessions from the Selling Shareholders and/or
purchasers of the common stock for whom such broker-dealers may act as agent, or
to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which compensation as to a
particular broker-dealer may be less than or in excess of customary
commissions). Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers who act in connection
with the sale of common stock hereunder may be deemed to be "Underwriters"
within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commissions they receive may
be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act.
Neither Medcom nor any Selling Shareholder can presently estimate the amount of
such compensation. Medcom knows of no existing arrangements between any selling
shareholder, any other stockholder, broker, dealer, underwriter or agent
relating to the sale or distribution of Medcom's common stock.
Medcom has advised the selling shareholders that they and any securities
broker/dealers or others who may be deemed to be statutory underwriters will be
subject to the Prospectus delivery requirements under the Securities Act of
1933. Medcom has also advised the Selling Shareholders that in the event of a
"distribution" of the shares owned by the Selling Shareholder, such Selling
Shareholders, any "affiliated purchasers", and any broker/dealer or other person
who participates in such distribution may be subject to Rule 102 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act") until their participation in that
distribution is completed. A "distribution" is defined in Rule 102 as an
offering of securities "that is distinguished from ordinary trading transactions
by the magnitude of the offering and the presence of special selling efforts and
selling methods". Medcom has also advised the Selling Shareholders that Rule 102
under the 1934 Act prohibits any "stabilizing bid" or "stabilizing purchase" for
the purpose of pegging, fixing or stabilizing the price of the Common Stock in
connection with this offering. Rule 101 makes it unlawful for any person who is
participating in a distribution to bid for or purchase stock of the same class
as is the subject of the distribution.
DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES
Common Stock Medcom is authorized to issue 80,000,000 shares of common stock.
Holders of common Stock are each entitled to cast one vote for each share held
<PAGE>
of record on all matters presented to shareholders. Cumulative voting is not
allowed; hence, the holders of a majority of the outstanding common stock can
elect all directors.
Holders of common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as may be
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available therefor and,
in the event of liquidation, to share pro rata in any distribution of Medcom's
assets after payment of liabilities. The board is not obligated to declare a
dividend. It is not anticipated that dividends will be paid in the foreseeable
future.
Holders of common stock do not have preemptive rights to subscribe to
additional shares if issued by Medcom. There are no conversion, redemption,
sinking fund or similar provisions regarding the common stock.
Preferred Stock
Medcom is authorized to issue up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
Medcom's Articles of Incorporation provide that the Board of Directors has the
authority to divide the preferred stock into series and, within the limitations
provided by Delaware statute, to fix by resolution the voting power,
designations, preferences, and relative participation, special rights, and the
qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of any series so
established. As the Board of Directors has authority to establish the terms of,
and to issue, the preferred stock without shareholder approval, the preferred
stock could be issued to defend against any attempted takeover of Medcom.
In April 1995, Medcom issued 25,250 shares of Series A preferred stock.
Each Series A preferred share is convertible into 0.2 of a share of Medcom's
common stock. As of June 30, 2000, 21,000 shares of the Series A preferred stock
had been converted into shares of Medcom's common stock.
In March 1996, Medcom issued 100,000 shares of its Series B preferred
stock. Each Series B preferred share is convertible into 0.25 of a share of
Medcom's common stock. As of July 31, 1999 all shares of the Series B preferred
stock had been converted into 25,000 shares of Medcom's common stock.
Between November 1998 and January 1999 Medcom sold 1,745 shares of its
Series C preferred stock. Medcom sold these shares because it needed capital and
no other source of capital was available at that time. In January 2000, the
Series C preferred shares were subsequently converted into 3,490,000 shares of
Medcom's common stock.
In April 2000 Medcom's Board of Directors established the Series D
Preferred Stock and authorized the issuance of up to 2,900 shares as part of
this series. Medcom issued 2,850 Series D Preferred shares in connection with
the acquisition of DCB Actuaries & Consultants and the technology from DSM LLC.
Each Series D Preferred share is convertible at any time at the option of
the holder into 202.43 shares of Medcom's common stock. The Series D Preferred
shares will, at Medcom's option, convert into shares of Medcom's common stock,
in the manner described above, at any time after April 15, 2001 so long as the
bid price of Medcom's common stock exceeds $4.94 and the shares of common stock
<PAGE>
issuable upon the conversion of the Series D Preferred shares are either covered
by an effective registration statement or are eligible for sale pursuant to Rule
144 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Series D Preferred shareholders are entitled to receive cumulative
annual cash dividends of $40.00 per share payable each year on March 31. At
Medcom's option dividends may be paid in cash or in shares of Medcom's common
stock. For dividends paid in shares of common stock, the number of shares to be
issued will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividends by the
average price of Medcom's common stock for the ten trading days ending three
days prior to the dividend payment date.
Each Series D Preferred share is entitled to 202.43 votes on any matter
submitted to Medcom's shareholders for their consideration and approval.
In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up (voluntary or
involuntary) of Medcom, the holders of the Series D Preferred shares are
entitled to receive out of Medcom's assets available for distribution to
shareholders, and before any distribution of assets is made to holders of
Medcom's common stock, liquidating distributions in the amount of $1,000 per
share plus accumulated and unpaid dividends.
Transfer Agent
Corporate Stock Transfer, Inc., of Denver, Colorado, is the transfer agent
for Medcom's common stock.
EXPERTS
The financial statements as of June 30, 1999 incorporated by reference in
this prospectus from Medcom's annual report on Form 10-KSB/A have been audited
by Ehrhardt Keefe Steiner & Hottman PC independent auditors, as stated in their
report which is incorporated herein by reference, and have been so incorporated
in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts
in accounting and auditing.
INDEMNIFICATION
Medcom's Bylaws authorize indemnification of a director, officer, employee
or agent of Medcom against expenses incurred by him in connection with any
action, suit, or proceeding to which he is named a party by reason of his having
acted or served in such capacity, except for liabilities arising from his own
misconduct or negligence in performance of his duty. In addition, even a
director, officer, employee, or agent of Medcom who was found liable for
misconduct or negligence in the performance of his duty may obtain such
indemnification if, in view of all the circumstances in the case, a court of
competent jurisdiction determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled
to indemnification. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, or persons
controlling Medcom pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Medcom has been
informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is
therefore unenforceable.
<PAGE>
No dealer, salesman or other person has been authorized to give any
information or to make any representations, other than those contained in this
prospectus. Any information or representation not contained in this prospectus
must not be relied upon as having been authorized by Medcom. This prospectus
does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, the
securities offered hereby in any state or other jurisdiction to any person to
whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation.

Item 17. Undertakings.
------------
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made,
a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement.
(i) To include any Prospectus required by Section l0(a)(3) of the
Securities Act of l933;
(ii) To reflect in the Prospectus any facts or events arising after the
effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective
amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a
fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan
of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement, including
(but not limited to) any addition or deletion of a managing underwriter.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of l933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be
a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of
the offering.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of l933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the Registrant, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy
as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by
the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and
will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
<PAGE>
