2010 Operational Highlights:
* In mid-August 2010, Kevin Hauser, who then served as Director of New Business Development, was named Chairman and CEO. * Shortly following his promotion, Kevin Hauser led the implementation of an aggressive, multi-media marketing strategy to accelerate MedeFile membership growth. As a consequence, the number of members subscribing to the MedeFile service increased nearly 150%, rising from approximately 2,000 at the beginning of 2010 to 5100 as of December 31, 2010. Since that time, the number of members has risen to more than 7,000. o Central to the Company's direct-to-consumer marketing strategy has been the utilization of both targeted telemarketing campaigns and the adoption of online social networking tools. Currently, MedeFile is averaging approximately 100 new trial memberships per day through these marketing channels. o In late 2010, MedeFile introduced its innovative Quality of Care program to its marketing mix, providing for the Company to team with doctors, specialty medical practices and private hospitals to co-market the MedeFile system to their respective patient bases. + In December 2010, MedeFile welcomed a major cardiology practice and a noted gastroenterologist to its Quality of Care program. Subsequent to that time, the Company has engaged a team of sales specialists on a commission-only basis to actively promote the Quality of Care program to healthcare providers nationwide. o MedeFile has also been actively pursuing key strategic alliances and partnering opportunities with individuals, leading industry groups and healthcare-related companies. + Over the past year, the Company expanded its Board of Advisors, welcoming the following distinguished new members: # Dr. Barbara DeBuono, former Commissioner of Health for the State of New York; # Richard Farren, a member of the NYC law firm McLaughlin&Stern, where he largely focuses on administering the legal needs of major healthcare organizations and institutions; # Howard Mofshin, co-Founder of Cash4Gold and a globally recognized direct response marketing icon and emerging growth trends analyst; and # Dr. Gurinder Shahi, the co-Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Rhapsody Holdings, LLC and former advisor and consultant to the World Bank and the World Health Organization. + In November 2010, MedeFile announced a partnership with acclaimed healthcare marketing consulting and entrepreneur Dr. Len Schwartz. + That same month, the Company partnered with RTM Networks, a marketing firm specializing in connecting members of college and university alumni associations, corporate alumni groups and professional and membership associations.
"We continue to be very pleased with the positive growth trends we are seeing in our industry and, of course, in growth of MedeFile's membership base," stated Kevin Hauser, President and CEO of MedeFile. "There are a number of favorable market dynamics that we are working hard to exploit and optimize so that we may perpetuate and accelerate the growth we are now achieving in our business. 2011 has started off on very firm footing. In fact, early indications point to 2011 being a potential watershed year for MedeFile. Among many anticipated accomplishments, we fully expect to begin announcing critical new sales developments on the wholesale front, stemming from our negotiations with multiple major healthcare-related entities seeking to provide their customers with a robust iPHR solution. Together with our other sales initiatives, this should allow us to achieve positive cash flow prior to year end, marking a major evolutionary milestone for our Company."
