THE QUANTUM GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

APRIL 30, 2007

(UNAUDITED)


Note 1:

Description of Company

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

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

Basis of Presentation

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

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, they include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. All adjustments made during the six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006 were of a normal, recurring nature. The amounts presented for the six months ended April 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire fiscal year. Additional information is contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-KSB/A of the Company for the year ended October 31, 2006, which should be read in conjunction with this quarterly report.

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior year financial information to the current period presentation. Those reclassifications did not impact working capital, total assets, total liabilities, net income or stockholders’ equity

Going Concern

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

Note 2:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At April 30, 2007, there were no cash equivalents.

Property and Equipment

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

APRIL 30, 2007

(UNAUDITED)



Note 2:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (Continued)

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material.

Income Taxes

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

Goodwill

Goodwill is recorded in connection with business combinations as the excess purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized, but tested for recoverability annually or more frequently if indicators of possible impairment exist. The Company will recognize an impairment loss if the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value determination. As of April 30, 2007, there was no impairment of goodwill.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended April 30, 2007 include the accounts of The Quantum Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries, Renaissance Health Systems, Inc., Quantum Medical Technologies, Inc., QMed Billing, Inc. and The Quantum Agency, Inc. The accounts of the billing companies in which the Company has full risk of the operations are variable interest entities, as defined by FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), and therefore have been consolidated. All Intercompany accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

Variable Interest  Entities

The Company is a counterparty to various management agreements with certain entities that meet the definition of a Variable Interest Entity pursuant to FIN 46(R). The Company has included the net assets and operations of these entities as of April 30, 2007, as the Company believes it is the Primary Beneficiary, as defined in the Interpretation. These entities engage in the business of medical billing and collections. As of April 30, 2007, the book value of the assets and liabilities associated with these entities totaled approximately $244,500 and $169,000, respectively. In addition, the revenues and net loss derived from these entities were $793,000 and ($105,000), respectively, for the six months ended April 30, 2007.

Until February 28, 2007, the Company was a Primary Beneficiary of another billing & collection company. At the time of deconsolidation, this entity had a book value of approximately $26,000. In addition, the revenues and net loss derived from this entity was approximately $34,000 and ($32,000), respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Provider Systems

The Company has entered into full risk contracts with three Managed Care Organizations (MCOs). The Company started treating patients for one of the contracts in September 2005, but is not at full risk until the MCO provides a minimum of 300 members to the Company. The threshold of 300 patients has not been reached as of

Note 2:

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – (Continued)

Revenue Recognition (continued)

Provider Systems (continued)

April 30, 2007. The Company has recorded income relating to the primary care physicians’ charges for the six month period ended April 30, 2007. Medical costs associated with the revenue were equal to the revenue. The other two contracts started in January 2007 and are full risk from inception. Under a full risk contract, the Company will receive a monthly fee for each patient that chooses one of the Company’s physicians as their primary care physician. The fixed fee is based on a percentage of the premium the MCO receives. Revenue under this agreement is generally recorded in the period services are rendered at the rates then in effect, with quarterly adjustments. The direct medical costs are a combination of actual medical costs paid by the MCO plus a reserve for future medical costs incurred but not reported (IBNR).

Provider Support Services

In June 2006, the Company entered into a management agreement with a medical billing and collections company. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company paid an amount to the billing and collection company and assumed all management responsibility and financial risk of the operation of the business. The Company has included all the revenues and expenses for this operation in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenues are recorded upon the collection of billed service for their clients. The Company and the medical billing and collection company mutually agreed to discontinue the management agreement as of February 28, 2007.

In December 2006, the Company entered into management agreements with two additional medical billing companies. Each of the two companies signed similar agreements. Under the terms of these agreements, the Company paid the billing companies $100 and promised to assist in total operations for a period of 210 days. In return, the billing companies assigned all revenues and expenses to the Company. Included in the agreements, the Company will pay a management fee to the current manager and a fee for support services to one employee. There is no employee-employer relationship created by the agreements. The Company has provided management services and sales support.

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

Stock Split

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

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

Stock Compensation

Prior to November 1, 2006, the Company had followed Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS “) No. 123 (“SFAS No. 123”), Accounting for Stock Based Compensation whereby companies may measure compensation costs for those plans using the method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (“APB No. 25”), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” No compensation expense was recognized in accounting for options granted to employees where the exercise price of the Company’s employee stock options

Stock Compensation (continued)

equaled or exceeded the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Stock options granted to consultants were accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS “) No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation.

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

As a result of the adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) on November 1, 2006, the Company’s net loss for the six months ended April 30, 2007 was approximately $79,245 higher than if it had continued to account for the share-based compensation under APB No. 25.

Had the compensation expense for the stock option plan been determined based on the fair value of the options at the grant date consistent with the methodology prescribed under Statement of Financial Standards No. 123, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation,” for the three month period ended April 30, 2006, the Company’s net loss and loss earnings per share would have been affected to the pro forma amounts indicated below:

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material effect on the Group’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, income or cash flows.

Note 3:

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

Note 4:

Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares for the period. The computation of diluted loss per share is similar to basic loss per share, except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would

Debt

Secured Convertible Debentures

On August 29, 2006, the Company signed an agreement with a placement agent to raise $3,000,000 by selling 60 units in a private placement memorandum (August 2006 PPM). Each unit consists of a $50,000 8% Convertible Debenture and 6,061 shares of restricted common stock (Bridge Shares). Each note payable matures on March 31, 2007, but has been extended without penalty by 60 days by the placement agent. The maturity date was extended by the placement agent to May 30, 2007. Principal and interest on the Secured Convertible Debentures may be converted into certain future sale of the Company’s security at a conversion price equal to 70% of the offering price. The placement agent fees are equal to 10% commission of gross proceeds, 3% of gross proceeds for unaccountable expenses, one warrant for each unit sold to purchase 607 shares of common stock at $8.25 per share and expenses not to exceed $25,000. The private placement includes certain registration rights which generally require that if the Bridge Shares and the conversion shares are not registered by February 28, 2007, the Company will file a registration statement by March 31, 2007. A late registration penalty of 2% of the original principal amount in common stock, based upon average of the previous five days closing price bid prices (as reported on Bloomberg) if a registration is not filed by March 31, 2007. A registration statement had not been filed by March 31, 2007 and therefore the Company has accrued a liability for the late registration penalty in amount of $29,545 (5,909 shares). The Debentures are secured by all the assets of the Company subject to the investors in the interim bridge. This private placement ended on November 30, 2006 and 26 units were sold and a placement agent fee and reimbursement of expenses of $169,000 plus one 5-year warrant to purchase 15,777 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $8.25 per share, valued at $121,821 using the Black Scholes method. Under the agreement, the Company is required to use its best efforts to register the underlying shares and the Bridge shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). In the event that a registration statement is not filed with the SEC, the Company is required to pay liquidated damages in the form of additional shares of common stock of the Company, which the Company is required to use its best efforts to register. The Company analyzed the transaction and the associated embedded conversion features and determined that the criteria for bifurcating an embedded conversion feature, and measuring at fair value, as detailed in SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," were not met. Based on this finding and pursuant to EITF 00-27, "Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments," the Company has (i) allocated the proceeds received to the convertible instrument and the shares on a relative fair value basis, and (ii) recognized the beneficial conversion feature as a reduction to the carrying amount of the convertible debt and as additional paid-in capital. As a result, the Company allocated the proceeds from the sale of units ($1,300,000) as follows: (1) $534,975 to the convertible debt (2) $534,279 to the shares and (3) $230,746 to the beneficial conversion feature.

The term of each option and the manner in which it may be exercised is determined by the board of directors, provided that no option may be exercisable more that 10 years after the date of its grant and, in the case of an incentive option granted to an eligible employee owning more that 10% of the our common stock, no more than five years after the date of the grant.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

The discussion and analysis set forth below should be read in conjunction with our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this quarterly report. The information presented for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, was derived from unaudited financial statements, which, in our opinion, reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation.

Forward Looking Statements

This Report on Form 10-QSB contains certain forward-looking statements. When used in this Report, press releases and elsewhere by the management of the Company from time to time, the words “believes”, “anticipates”, and “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements that involve certain risks and uncertainties. Additionally, certain statements contained in this discussion may be deemed forward-looking statements that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: the ability of the Company to meet its working capital and liquidity needs, economic trends for consumer advertisers, the availability of long-term credit, unanticipated changes in the U.S. and international economies, business conditions and growth in e-commerce and the timely development and acceptance of new products, the impact of competitive products and pricing, and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s SEC reports. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly release the results of any events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Going Concern

The Company has been building its provider networks and developing its Provider Systems over the last three years and has expensed material sums during that period. The Company has contracted with five Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) encompassing 22 counties in Florida. The Community Health Systems have been completed, or are near completion, in all those counties. Additionally, the Company is performing medical billing services through two medical billing companies with whom the Company has signed full risk management contracts.

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

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

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

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

Results of Operations

Six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006

Revenues for the six months ended April 30, 2007 were $1,233,508 compared to $8,744 for the six months ended April 30, 2006. The increase in management support services revenue of $826,932 is primarily due to the addition of the billing and collections company management agreements; $34,291 from one agreement that was in effect from November 2006 thru February 2007 and $792,641 from two agreements which went into effect in December 2006. The provider systems revenue represents $406,576 of the total revenue, which is a $397,832 increase from the six months ended April 30, 2006. This revenue is a direct result of the Company’s active contracts with three MCOs.

The operating expenses for the six months ended April 30, 2007 were $2,382,595 compared to $1,195,656 for the six month period ended April 30, 2006. The increase of $1,186,939 was primarily due to an increase of $345,421 in staff and officers’ salaries, $125,000 for accrued bonuses for officers, and $63,667 in the amortization of deferred compensation. Non-operating costs were $2,937,393 and $115,803 for the six month periods ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase of $2,821,590 was primarily due to the amortization of costs associated with the convertible debt, interim bridge financing and the credit line.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At April 30, 2007, we had a working capital deficit of $5,341,972 as compared to a working capital deficit of $1,277,725 at April 30, 2006.

Cash inflow from financing activities was $2,411,178 for the six months ended April 30, 2007, compared to $755,780 for the six months ended April 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to the increase in debt as detailed below. The cash flow from operating activities were $1,542,866 for the six months ended April 30, 2007, compared to $804,453 for the six months ended April 30, 2006. The increase of $738,413 was primarily due the expansion of the provider service system. We will need to secure additional financing during the next twelve months in order to meet our convertible debt obligations and continue the development of our business.

On August 29, 2006, the Company signed an agreement with a placement agent to raise $3,000,000 by selling 60 units (August 2006 PPM).

Each note payable matures on March 31, 2007, but has been extended, without penalty, by 60 days by the placement agent. The debentures have not been paid at the extended maturity date. The debenture holders and the lead investor have not declared the debentures in default and the Company is in discussions with the lead investor to extend the maturity date. Principal and interest on the Secured Convertible Debentures may be converted into certain future sale of the Company’s security at a conversion price equal to 70% of the offering price. The placement agent fees are equal to 10% commission of gross proceeds, 3% of gross proceeds for unaccountable expenses, one warrant for each unit sold to purchase 607 shares of common stock at $8.25 per share and expenses not to exceed $25,000. This private placement was finalized on November 30, 2006 and 26 units were sold ($1,300,000) and a placement agent fee of $169,000 and reimbursement of expenses of $40,942 plus one 5-year warrant to purchase 15,758 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $8.25 per share, valued at $121,821 using the Black Scholes method.

A late registration penalty of 2% of the original principal amount in common stock, based upon average of the previous five days closing price bid prices (as reported on Bloomberg) if a registration is not filed by June 30, 2007.

The Company has entered into full risk contracts with three Managed Care Organizations (MCOs). The Company started treating patients for one of the contracts in September 2006, but is not full risk until the MCO provides a minimum of 300 members to the Company. The threshold of 300 members has not been received as of April 30, 2007. The Company has recorded income relating to the primary care physicians’ charges for the six month period ended April 30, 2007. Medical costs associated with the revenue were equal to the revenue. The other two contracts started in January 2007 and are full risk from inception. Under a full risk contract, the Company will receive a monthly fee for each patient that chooses one of the Company’s physicians as their primary care physician. The fixed fee is based on a percentage of the premium the MCO receives. Revenue under this agreement is generally recorded in the period services are rendered at the rates then in effect, with quarterly adjustments. The direct medical costs are a combination of actual medical costs paid by the MCO plus a reserve for future medical costs incurred but not reported (IBNR).

Currently, the Company manages two medical billing and collections companies. Under the terms of the management agreements, the Company paid an amount to each billing and collection company and assumed all management responsibility and financial risk of the operation of the businesses. The Company has included all the revenues and expenses for those operations in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenues are recorded upon the collection of billed service for their clients.

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

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

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.” SFAS No. 159 permits entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for financial statements issued for an entity’s first fiscal year beginning after November 15, 2007. Adoption of SFAS No. 159 is not expected to have a material effect on the Group’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, income or cash flows.

Item 3.

Controls and Procedures

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Our management and resources are limited. As of April 30, 2007 we had only twenty-eight full time employees, of which three are also officers and directors of the Company. The Company is a company with limited personnel and, until the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, was a development stage company. Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures for a Company of our size and simplicity. Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified by the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on the current review, management has concluded that additional personnel are required as disclosed in the Company’s Form 10-K/A filed with the Securities Exchange Commission.

The Company has allocated the appropriate resources to correct this deficiency. As of the date of this report, we have hired a controller to be assigned directly to financial reporting and disclosure to ensure the timely and accurate preparation of the Company’s financial reports required under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 as amended.
