PROSPECTUS
MEDIX RESOURCES, INC.
21,449,167 Shares of Common Stock
The selling shareholders of Medix Resources, Inc. named herein will have the right to offer and sell up to an aggregate of 21,449,167 shares of our common stock under this prospectus. All of such shares are issuable upon: (i) conversion or in payment of, or as interest on, the 7% Convertible Debentures Series 03 Due October 11, 2004, the 7% Convertible Debentures Series 03-2 Due November 12, 2004 or the 7% Convertible Debentures Due December 12, 2004 that were purchased from Medix in private placements; (ii) exercise of warrants that were issued to the purchaser of the Series 03 Debenture; (iii) the occurrence of certain contingencies described in the agreement with the Debentures purchasers; or (iv) exercise of warrants issued to the placement agent of the Series 03-2 Debentures and the Series 03-3 Debentures in partial payment of its fee.
Medix will not receive directly any of the proceeds from the sale of these shares by the selling shareholders. However, Medix will receive the proceeds from the exercise of warrants to purchase some of the shares to be sold hereunder. See "Use of Proceeds". Medix will pay the expenses of registration of these shares.
Medix's common stock is traded on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol "MXR". On June 20, 2003, the closing price of our common stock was reported as $0.30.
The securities offered hereby involve a high degree of risk. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page 3 for certain risks that should be considered by prospective purchasers of the securities offered hereby.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
The following summary highlights some information from this prospectus. It is not complete and does not contain all of the information that you should consider before making an investment decision. You should read this entire prospectus, including the "Risk Factors" section and the financial statements, related notes and the other more detailed information appearing elsewhere or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, "we", "us", "our" and similar terms, as well as references to the "Company" and "Medix", refer to Medix Resources, Inc. and its subsidiaries and not to the selling securityholders. All industry statistics incorporated by reference in this prospectus were obtained from data prepared or provided by recognized industry sources.
This prospectus covers the offering and sale of 21,449,167 shares of our common stock to the public by the selling shareholders listed under the heading "Selling Shareholders" in this prospectus, none of which are issued and outstanding. The shares are issuable to the selling shareholders for any one or more of the following reasons: Shares are issuable to certain selling shareholders in connection with the conversion or in payment of, or as interest on, the Company's 7% Convertible Debentures Series 03 Due October 11, 2004, the Company's 7% Convertible Debentures Series 03-2 Due November 12, 2004 and the Company's 7% Convertible Debentures Series 03-3 Due December 12, 2004. Other shares are issuable on the exercise of warrants issued to the purchaser of the Series 03 Debenture or to the placement agent of the Series 03-2 Debentures and the Series 03-3 Debentures or its designees. Other shares may be issuable to the purchasers of the Debentures if the Company enters into certain transactions or if certain conditions contemplated by the registration rights agreement between us and the purchasers of the Debentures. See "Selling Shareholders". We received aggregate gross proceeds in those three private placements of $1,850,000. As part of the private placements, we agreed to register the shares of common stock issuable pursuant to debentures and the warrants and pursuant to other agreements between us and the purchasers under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. We also agreed to register the shares of common stock covered by warrants issued to the placement agent of the Series 03-2 Debentures and the Series 03-3 Debentures and its designees. As of May 31, 2003 we had 84,804,565 shares of our common stock outstanding, and approximately 36,197,267 shares were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants or other rights and the conversion of outstanding preferred stock.
We develop, distribute and deploy connectivity products for Internet-based communications and information management by medical service providers. We have no revenues from current operations and are funding the development and deployment of our products through the sales of our securities. See "The Company" and "Risk Factors".
Because of our continuing losses, and the lack of certain sources of capital to fund our development of connectivity products, our independent accountants included a "going concern" uncertainty in their audit report on our audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002. The "going concern" uncertainty signifies that significant questions exist about our ability to continue in business. See "Risk Factors".
Our principal executive office is located at 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 1830, New York, New York 10170, and our telephone number is (212) 697-2509.
On March 4, 2003, we purchased from Comdisco Ventures, Inc. substantially all of the assets formerly used by ePhysician, Inc. in its software and technology business prior to its cessation of operations in 2002. We are evaluating the newly acquired technology to determine how best to integrate our Cymedix technology with the ePhysician technology, resulting in our merged technology (the "Merged Technology"). From its formation in 1998, through its cessation of operations in November 2002, ePhysician developed and provided ePhysician Practice, a suite of software products that enables physicians to prescribe medications, access drug reference data, schedule patients, view formulary information, review critical patient information and capture charges at the point of care using a Palm OS®-based handheld device and the Internet.
On March 5, 2003, we terminated our merger agreement with PocketScript, LLC. We had entered into a non-binding letter of intent with PocketScript on October 30, 2002 and had executed a definitive merger agreement on December 19, 2002 to acquire PocketScript subject to certain conditions of closing.
On May 21, 2003, our shareholders approved an increase in our authorized common stock from 125,000,000 to 400,000,000 shares.
An investment in our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors and other information in this prospectus before investing in our common stock. The trading price of our common stock could decline due to any of these risks, and you may lose all or part of your investment.
Our continuing losses endanger our viability as a going-concern and caused our accountants to issue a "going concern" exception in their annual audit report.
We reported net losses of $9,014,000, $10,636,000 and $5,415,000 for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. We also reported a net loss of $2,457,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2003. At December 31, 2002, we had an accumulated deficit of $43,073,000 and a net working capital deficit of $252,000. At March 31, 2003, our accumulated deficit was $45,531,000 and our net working capital deficit was $1,547,000. Our products are in the development and early deployment stage and have not generated any revenue to date. We are funding our operations through the sale of our securities. Our independent accountants have included a "going concern" exception in their audit reports on our audited 2002, 2001 and 2000 financial statements.
Our need for additional financing is acute and failure to obtain adequate financing could lead to the financial failure of our company.
We expect to continue to experience losses, in the near term, until such time as the Merged Technology can be successfully deployed with physicians and produce revenue. The continuing development, marketing and deployment of the Merged Technology will depend upon our ability to obtain additional financing. The Merged Technology is in the development stage and has not generated any revenue to date. We are funding our operations now through the sale of our securities. There can be no assurance that additional investments or financings will be available to us on favorable terms or at all as needed to support the development and deployment of the Merged Technology. Failure to obtain such capital on a timely basis could result in lost business opportunities, the sale of the Merged Technology at a distressed price or the financial failure of our Company.
We have frequent cash flow problems that often cause us to be delinquent in making payments to our vendors and other creditors, which may cause damage to our business relationships and cause us to incur additional expenses in the payment of late charges and penalties.
During 2002 and the first calendar quarter of 2003, from time to time, our lack of cash flow caused us to delay payment of our obligations as they came due in the ordinary course of our business. In some cases, we were delinquent in making payments by the legally required due dates. At our four office locations, we had 48 monthly rental payments due in the aggregate during 2002, and 12 monthly rental payments due in the aggregate during the first calendar quarter of 2003. Two of those payments were late during 2002 and two were late during the first calendar quarter of 2003. All such payments were paid within 30 days of their due date. All payments plus any required penalties were ultimately paid with respect to our 2002 obligations and our first calendar quarter of 2003 obligations. We had 26 federal withholding and other payment due dates during 2002 and seven during the first calendar quarter of 2003. Of those, three due dates in 2002 and no due dates in the first quarter of 2003 were missed. The resulting delinquencies ranged from one to ten days before the required payments were made. We paid the resulting penalties as they were billed. We had state withholding obligations in five states, Colorado, California, Georgia, New Jersey and New York. Although we were not late in making withholding payments in those five states during 2002 or during the first calendar quarter of 2003, we have been late in prior periods. Similarly, although we were not late in making deposits of our employees' 401(k) contributions during 2002 or during the first calendar quarter of 2003, we have been late in making such deposits in the past and we may in the future be delinquent from time to time in meeting our obligations as they become due.
The failure to meet the listing criteria of the American Stock Exchange may result in the delisting of our common stock.
We may not be able to retain our listing on the American Stock Exchange. The American Stock Exchange has certain listing requirements in order for a company to continue to have its common stock traded on this exchange. Although the American Stock Exchange does not identify a specific minimum price per share that a company's stock must trade above or any other rigid standards compelling delisting, a company may risk delisting if its common stock trades at a low price per share for a substantial period of time or if it fails to meet the financial condition, result of operations, market capitalization or other financial or non-financial standards considered by the American Stock Exchange. We have not been notified of any listing concerns by the American Stock Exchange. However, should our common stock trade at a low price for a substantial period of time or should the American Stock Exchange consider our circumstances for continued listing in a negative light, we may not be able to retain our listing. Trading in our common stock after a delisting, if any, would likely be conducted in the over-the-counter markets in the so-called "pink sheets" or the National Association of Securities Dealers' Electronic Bulletin Board. As a consequence of a delisting: (i) unless theretofore converted into common stock, the Series 03 Debenture Due October 11, 2004, the Series 03-2 Debentures Due November 12, 2004 and the Series 03-3 Debentures Due December 12, 2004 in the aggregate principal amount of $1,850,000, together with accrued interest thereon, could be declared to be immediately due and payable by the holders of such Debentures as provided in such Debentures, which might force us to seek protection in bankruptcy if funds were not then available to pay such principal and interest; (ii) our shareholders would find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the market value of, our common stock; and (iii) our common stock would become substantially less attractive as collateral for margin and purpose loans, for investment by financial institutions under their internal policies or state legal investment laws or as a consideration in future capital raising transactions.
While we have had operations since 1988, we are better considered a development stage company, which means our products and services have not yet proved themselves commercially viable and therefore our future is uncertain.
Although we have had operations since 1988, because of our move away from temporary healthcare staffing, we have a relatively short operating history and limited financial data upon which you may evaluate our business and prospects, and are better considered a development stage company. In addition, our business model is likely to continue to evolve as we attempt to develop our product offerings and enter new markets. As a result, our potential for future profitability must be considered in light of the risks, uncertainties, expenses and difficulties frequently encountered by development stage companies that are attempting to move into new markets and continuing to innovate with new and unproven technologies. We are still in the process of gaining experience in marketing physician connectivity products, providing support services, evaluating demand for products, financing a technology business and dealing with government regulation of health information technology products. While we are putting together a team of experienced executives, they have come from different backgrounds and may require some time to develop an efficient operating structure and corporate culture for our Company.
We rely on healthcare professionals for the quality of the information that is transmitted through our interconnectivity systems, and we may not be paid for our services by third-party payors if that quality does not meet certain standards.
The success of our products and services in generating revenue may be subject to the quality and completeness of the data that is generated and stored by the physician or other healthcare professional and entered into our interconnectivity systems, including the failure to input appropriate or accurate information. Such failure may negatively affect both our ability to generate revenue and our reputation.
Our market, healthcare services, is rapidly changing and the introduction of Internet connectivity services and products into that market has been slow, which may cause us to be unable to develop a profitable market for our services and products.
• As a developer of connectivity technology products, we will be required to anticipate and adapt to evolving industry standards and new technological developments. The market for the Merged Technology is characterized by continued and rapid technological advances in both hardware and software development, requiring ongoing expenditures for research and development, and timely introduction of new products and enhancements to existing products. The establishment of standards is largely a function of user acceptance. Therefore, such standards are subject to change. Our future success, if any, will depend in part upon our ability to enhance existing products, to respond effectively to technology changes, and to introduce new products and technologies that are functional and meet the evolving needs of our clients and users in the healthcare information systems market.
• The introduction of physician connectivity products in our market has been slow due, in part, to the large number of small practitioners who are resistant to change and the implicit costs associated with change, particularly in a period of rising pressure to reduce costs in the market. In addition, the integration of processes and procedures with several payors and management intermediaries in a market area has taken more time than anticipated. The resulting delays continue to prevent the receipt of transaction fees and cause us to continue to raise money by the sale of our securities to finance our operations.
• Our early-stage market approach concentrated product distribution efforts in a single market (Atlanta, Georgia), thereby amplifying the effect of localized market restrictions on our prospects, and delaying large-scale distribution of our products. While we intend to mitigate these local factors with a strategy to develop alternate distribution channels in multiple markets, there can be no assurance that we will be successful.
• We cannot assure you that we will successfully complete the development of the Merged Technology in a timely fashion or at all or that our current or future products will satisfy the needs of the healthcare information systems market. Further, we cannot assure you that products or technologies developed by others will not adversely affect our competitive position or render our products or technologies noncompetitive or obsolete.
As a provider of medical connectivity products and services, we may become liable for product liability claims that could have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition.
Certain of our products provide applications that relate to patient medical histories and treatment plans. Any failure by our products to provide accurate, secure and timely information could result in product liability claims against us by our clients or their affiliates or patients. We are seeking product liability coverage, which may be prohibitive in cost. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such coverage at an acceptable cost or that our insurance coverage would adequately cover any claim asserted against us. Such a claim could be in excess of the limits imposed by any policy we might be able to obtain. A successful claim brought against us in excess of any insurance coverage we might have could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business. Even unsuccessful claims could result in the expenditure of funds in litigation, as well as diversion of management's time and resources.
Our industry, healthcare, continually experiences rapid change and uncertainty that could result in issues for our business planning or operations that could severely impact on our ability to become profitable.
The healthcare and medical services industry in the United States is in a period of rapid change and uncertainty. Governmental programs have been proposed, and some adopted, from time to time, to reform various aspects of the U.S. healthcare delivery system. Some of these programs contain proposals to increase government involvement in healthcare, lower reimbursement rates and otherwise change the operating environment for our physician users and customers. Particularly, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the regulations that are being promulgated under it are causing the healthcare industry to change its procedures and incur substantial cost in doing so. Although we expect these regulations to have the beneficial effect of spurring adoption of our software products, we cannot predict with any certainty what impact, if any, these and future healthcare reforms might have on our business.
We rely on intellectual property rights, such as copyrights and trademarks, and unprotected propriety technology in our business operations and to create value in our company; however, protecting intellectual property frequently requires litigation and close legal monitoring and may adversely affect our ability to become profitable.
• Our wholly owned subsidiary, Cymedix Lynx Corporation, has certain intellectual property relating to its software business. These rights have been assigned by our subsidiary to us. The intellectual property legal issues for software programs, such as the Cymedix® products, are complex and currently evolving. Since patent applications are secret until patents are issued, in the United States, or published, in other countries, we cannot be sure that we are the first to file any patent application. In addition, we cannot assure you that competitors, many of which have far greater resources than we do, will not apply for and obtain patents that will interfere with our ability to develop or market the Merged Technology. Further, the laws of certain foreign countries do not provide the protection to intellectual property that is provided in the United States, and may limit our ability to market our products overseas. While we have no prospects for marketing or operations in foreign countries at this time, future opportunities for growth in foreign markets, for that reason, may be limited. We cannot give any assurance that the scope of the rights that we have been granted are broad enough to fully protect the Merged Technology from infringement.
• Litigation or regulatory proceedings may be necessary to protect our intellectual property rights, such as the scope of our patent rights. In fact, the information technology and healthcare industries in general are characterized by substantial litigation. Such litigation and regulatory proceedings are very expensive and could be a significant drain on our resources and divert resources from product development. There is no assurance that we will have the financial resources to defend our patent rights or other intellectual property from infringement or claims of invalidity. A party has notified us that it believes our pharmacy product may infringe on patents that it holds. We have retained patent counsel who has made a preliminary investigation and determined that our product does not infringe on the identified patents. At this time no legal action has been instituted.
• We also rely upon unprotected proprietary technology and no assurance can be given that others will not independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to or disclose our proprietary technology or that we can meaningfully protect our rights in such unpatented proprietary technology. We use our efforts to protect such information and techniques; however, we cannot assure you that such efforts will be successful. The failure to protect our intellectual property could cause us to lose substantial revenues and to fail to reach our financial potential over the long term.
Because our business is highly competitive and there are many competitors who are financially stronger than we are, we are at risk of being outperformed in recruiting qualified personnel, marketing, product development and customer services, which could severely limit our ability to become profitable.
• eHealth Services. Competition can be expected to emerge from established healthcare information vendors and established or new Internet related vendors. The most likely competitors are companies with a focus on clinical information systems and enterprises with an Internet commerce or electronic network focus. Many of these competitors will have access to substantially greater amounts of capital resources than we have access to, for the financing of technical, manufacturing and marketing efforts. Frequently, these competitors will have affiliations with major medical product or software development companies, which may assist in the financing of such competitor's product development. We will seek to raise capital to develop the Merged Technology in a timely manner; however, so long as our operations remain under-funded, as they now are, we will be at a competitive disadvantage.
• Personnel. The success of the development, distribution and deployment of the Merged Technology is dependent to a significant degree on our key management and technical personnel. We believe that our success will also depend upon our ability to attract, motivate and retain highly skilled, managerial, sales and marketing, and technical personnel, including software programmers and systems architects skilled in the computer languages in which the Merged Technology operates. Competition for such personnel in the software and information services industries is intense. The loss of key personnel, or the inability to hire or retain qualified personnel, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition or business.
We have relied on the private placement exemption to raise substantial amounts of capital, and could suffer substantial losses if that exemption was determined not to have been properly relied upon.
We have raised substantial amounts of capital in private placements from time to time. The securities offered in such private placements were not registered with the SEC or any state agency in reliance upon exemptions from such registration requirements. Such exemptions are highly technical in nature and if we inadvertently failed to comply with the requirements of any of such exemptive provisions, investors would have the right to rescind their purchase of our securities or sue for damages. If one or more investors were to successfully seek such rescission or institute any such suit, we could face severe financial demands that could materially and adversely affect our financial position.
The impact of shares of our common stock that may become available for sale in the future may result in the market price of our stock being depressed.
As of May 31, 2003, we had 84,804,565 shares of common stock outstanding. As of that date, approximately 36,197,267 shares were issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options, warrants or other rights, and the conversion of outstanding preferred stock. Most of these shares will be immediately saleable upon exercise or conversion under registration statements we have filed with the SEC. The exercise prices of options, warrants or other rights to acquire common stock presently outstanding range from $.01 per share to $4.97 per share. During the respective terms of the outstanding options, warrants, preferred stock and other outstanding derivative securities, the holders are given the opportunity to profit from a rise in the market price of the common stock, and the exercise of any options, warrants or other rights may dilute the book value per share of our common stock and may put downward pressure on the price of the common stock. The existence of the options, conversion rights, or any outstanding warrants may adversely affect the terms on which we may obtain additional equity financing. Moreover, the holders of such securities are likely to exercise their rights to acquire common stock at a time when we would otherwise be able to obtain capital on terms more favorable than could be obtained through the exercise or conversion of such securities. On May 21, 2003 our shareholders approved, at a special meeting of shareholders, an increase in the number of shares of common stock that we are authorized to issue from 125,000,000 to 400,000,000. The possibility exists that shareholders of our common stock will be greatly diluted in the future when we issue additional shares and the price of our common stock may decrease as a result.
Because of dilution to our outstanding common stock from the below market pricing features of financings that are available to us, the market price of our stock may be depressed.
Financings that may be available to us under current market conditions frequently involve below market sales, as well as the issuance of warrants or convertible debt that require exercise or conversion prices that are calculated in the future at a discount to the then market price of our common stock. Any agreement to sell, or convert debt or equity securities into, common stock at a future date and at a price based on the then current market price will provide an incentive to the investor or third parties to sell the common stock short to decrease the price and increase the number of shares they may receive in a future purchase, whether directly from us or in the market. The issuance of our common stock in connection with such exercise or conversion may result in substantial dilution to the common stock holdings of other holders of our common stock.
Because of market volatility in our stock price, investors may find that they have a loss position if emergency sales become necessary.
Historically, our common stock has experienced significant price fluctuations. One or more of the following factors influence these fluctuations:
• unfavorable announcements or press releases relating to the technology sector;
• regulatory, legislative or other developments affecting our company or the healthcare industry generally;
• conversion of our preferred stock and convertible debt into common stock at conversion rates based on current market prices or discounts to market prices, of our common stock and exercise of options and warrants at below current market prices;
• sales by those financing our company through an equity line of credit or convertible securities which have been registered with the SEC and may be sold into the public market immediately upon receipt; and
• market conditions specific to technology and internet companies, the healthcare industry and general market conditions.
In addition, in recent years the stock market has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations, which are often unrelated to the operating performance of specific companies, have had a substantial effect on the market price for many healthcare related technology companies. Factors such as those cited above, as well as other factors that may be unrelated to our operating performance, may adversely affect the price of our common stock.
The application of the "penny stock" rules to our common stock may depress the market for our stock.
Trading of our common stock may be subject to the penny stock rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, unless an exemption from such rules is available. Broker-dealers making a market in our common stock will be required to provide disclosure to their customers regarding the risks associated with our common stock, the suitability for the customer of an investment in our common stock, the duties of the broker-dealer to the customer and information regarding bid and asked prices for our common stock, and the amount and description of any compensation the broker-dealer would receive in connection with a transaction in our common stock. The application of these rules may further result in fewer market makers making a market in our common stock and further restrict the liquidity of our common stock.
We do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future.
We have not had earnings, but if earnings were available, it is our general policy to retain any earnings for use in our operation. Therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock in the foreseeable future. Any payment of cash dividends on our common stock in the future will be dependent upon our financial condition, results of operations, current and anticipated cash requirements, preferred rights of holders of preferred stock, plans for expansion, as well as other factors that the Board of Directors deems relevant. We anticipate that our future financing agreements will prohibit the payment of common stock dividends without the prior written consent of those providers.
Certain information contained in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus include forward-looking statements (as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act), which mean that they relate to events or transactions that have not yet occurred, our expectations or estimates for our future operations, our growth strategies or business plans or other facts that have not yet occurred. Such statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "might," "may," "will," "could," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "likely," "believe," or "continue" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. The above risk factors contain discussions of important factors that should be considered by prospective investors for their potential impact on forward-looking statements included in this prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus. These important factors, among others, may cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from the results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
General
We develop and intend to market communication technologies for use in the healthcare industry primarily at the point of care. We have focused on electronic prescribing of drugs, laboratory orders and laboratory results because these represent the majority of the transactions performed at the point of care, and remain largely a paper-based starting point for transferring information in the healthcare system. Our goal is to close the gap in electronic or automated processing by providing technologies and workflow processes at the point of care. Our technologies would enable point-of-care providers ("POCs") (i.e. physician or caretaker) to connect with other participants in the healthcare system. At this time, we are focused primarily on healthcare value chain intermediaries ("HVCIs") (e.g. pharmacy, lab, pharmacy benefit managers, pharmaceutical companies, etc.). Our products are designed to improve the accuracy and the efficiency of the processes of drug prescribing and the ordering of laboratory tests and the receiving of laboratory results.
When we shifted to this business in 2000, our plan was initially to deploy the technology in a single market. We began to test this approach in April 2002 with a small, local sales and installation team in Georgia that deployed the Cymedix technology to physician practices. By August 2002 it was clear to us that although the technology worked and physicians were using the system, this approach was not going to be commercially viable for several reasons including slow adoption by physicians unless there was an economic incentive, limited support by major HVCIs, and the high cost of marketing, sales, installation and service associated with serving individual and small medical practices. Based on these results, the initial deployment in Georgia was halted in August 2002.
At that time, we evaluated the business of automating the transaction at the point of care and concluded that a viable business could be built, but a different approach would be required than originally anticipated. Based on this evaluation, in September 2002, our Board recruited certain new senior managers including a new chief executive officer to assist us in pursuing alternative approaches to developing and deploying technology at the point of care.
Our current plan for the commercialization of our technology is to target physician practices and other POC centers that have the following characteristics: sufficient patient volume; clear economic incentive, such as administrative savings and time savings; commitment to electronic transfer of point of care information; and HVCI or other healthcare participant support for the rollout of the technology. Subject to the above criteria, our goal remains to connect from the point of care to the various segments of the healthcare industry that meet these criteria, such as health plans, insurers, skilled nursing facilities, pharmacy benefit management companies ("PBMs"), pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies.
We believe that it is important to deploy technologies that are easy to adopt or already have established markets. As such, on March 4, 2003 we acquired assets from Comdisco Ventures, Inc. that were formerly used by ePhysician, Inc. in its software and technology business prior to its cessation of operations in 2002. ePhysician point-of-care technologies enable physicians to securely access and send information to pharmacies, billing service companies, and practice management systems via the Palm OS®-based handheld device and the Internet, meeting our objective of deploying a recognized technology. Our goal is the integration of the Cymedix® and e-Physician technologies and to market them on a commercial basis.
We have been in business since 1988. We decided in 2000 to dispose of the temporary healthcare staffing business to focus on the healthcare software and connectivity solutions industry. The development of technology and the future marketing of connectivity solutions is our sole business at this time. Our accumulated operating loss and deficit is due to this transition and the ongoing efforts to build a commercially viable business in point-of-care automation. We currently do not have any active users of our products.
We are a Colorado corporation. Our principal executive office is located at The Graybar Building, 420 Lexington Avenue, Suite 1830, New York, New York 10170, and our telephone number is (212) 697-2509. We have closed our California and Colorado offices, and we are actively pursuing an exit to our leases in Georgia and California but may obtain a small amount of office space in California in connection with the ePhysicians business.
The selling securityholders will receive the net proceeds from the sale of shares. We will not receive any of the proceeds from any sale of the shares by the selling securityholders. However, we will receive the proceeds from the cash exercise of warrants to purchase certain of the shares offered hereunder. If all warrants covered hereby are exercised for cash, we would receive proceeds of $229,667. Any such proceeds will be used for working capital purposes.
The following table sets forth the shares beneficially owned, as of June 20, 2003, by the selling shareholders prior to the offering contemplated by this prospectus, the number of shares each selling shareholder is offering by this prospectus and the number of shares which each would own beneficially if all such offered shares are sold. Except for vFinance Investments, Inc. and its designees, the selling shareholders acquired their beneficial interests in the shares being offered hereby in private placements. Pursuant to an agreement between us and vFinance Investments, Inc., which acted as placement agent for those private placement transactions, we issued warrants to purchase common stock to vFinance Investments, Inc. and its designees in connection with one of those private placements.
Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with SEC rules and includes voting or investment power with respect to the securities. However, each of the selling shareholders is subject to certain limitations on the conversion of their convertible debentures and the exercise of their warrants, if any. The most significant of these limitations is that such selling shareholder may not convert its debentures or exercise its warrants, if such conversion or exercise would cause such holder's beneficial ownership of our common stock (excluding shares underlying any of their unconverted debentures or unexercised warrants) to exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of common stock. Also, the table below also includes the number of shares which would be issued upon conversion of a convertible debenture in payment of all accrued interest through its maturity date, which is more than 60 days from the date of this prospectus and shares which might be issuable on the occurrence of certain events, which have not yet occurred and may not occur. Therefore, although they are included in the table below, the number of shares of common stock for some listed persons may include shares that are not subject to purchase during the 60-day period.
In addition, certain of the selling shareholders may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, at any time or from time to time since the dates on which they provided the information regarding the shares beneficially owned by them, all or a portion of the shares beneficially owned by them in transactions registered under other effective registration statements or exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Relationship Between Medix and the Selling Shareholders
None of the persons listed above are affiliates or controlled by our affiliates. We have separate contractual obligations to file this registration with each of the selling shareholders.
Our authorized capital consists of 400,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and 2,500,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share. As of May 31, 2003, we had outstanding 84,804,565 shares of common stock, 1 share of 1996 Preferred Stock and 75 shares of 1999 Series C Preferred Stock. As of such date, our common stock was held of record by approximately 460 persons and beneficially owned by approximately 10,000 persons.
Common Stock
Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote at all meetings of stockholders. Stockholders are not permitted to cumulate votes in the election of directors. Currently, the Board of Directors consists of five directors, who serve for staggered terms of three years, with at least two directors elected at every annual meeting. We also currently have two vacancies on our Board of Directors. All shares of common stock are equal to each other with respect to liquidation rights and dividend rights. There are no preemptive rights to purchase any additional shares of common stock. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, holders of the common stock will be entitled to receive on a pro rata basis all of our assets remaining after satisfaction of all liabilities and preferences of the outstanding preferred stock. The outstanding shares of common stock and the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of derivative securities are or will be, as the case may be, duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
Transfer Agent and Registrar
We have retained Computershare Trust Company, Inc., 350 Indiana Street, Suite 800, Golden, Colorado 80401, as Transfer Agent and Registrar, for our common stock. Computershare Trust Company's telephone number is (303) 262-0600.
The selling securityholders and any of their pledgees, donees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The selling securityholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
• ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
• block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
• purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
• an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
• privately negotiated transactions;•short sales;
• broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
• a combination of any such methods of sale; and
• any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling securityholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), if available, rather than under this prospectus.
The selling securityholders may also engage in short sales against the box, puts and calls and other transactions in our securities or derivatives of our securities and may sell or deliver shares in connection with these trades. The selling securityholders may pledge their shares to their brokers under the margin provisions of customer agreements. If a selling stockholder defaults on a margin loan, the broker may, from time to time, offer and sell the pledged shares. We believe that the selling securityholders have not entered into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their shares other than ordinary course brokerage arrangements, nor is there an underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of shares by the selling securityholders.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling securityholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling securityholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling securityholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.
Selling securityholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. If the selling securityholders are deemed to be underwriters, the selling securityholders may be subject to certain statutory and regulatory liabilities, including liabilities imposed pursuant to Sections 11, 12 and 17 of the Securities Act and Rule 10b-5 under the Exchange Act.
We are required to pay all fees and expenses incident to the registration of the shares. Otherwise, all discounts, commissions or fees incurred in connection with the sale of the common stock offered hereby will be paid by the selling securityholders.
Upon our being notified by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such shares were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction.
In order to comply with the securities laws of certain states, if applicable, the shares will be sold in such jurisdictions, if required, only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in certain states the shares may not be sold unless the shares have been registered or qualified for sale in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and complied with.
We advised the selling securityholders that the anti-manipulative provisions of Regulation M promulgated under the Exchange Act may apply to their sales of the shares offered hereby
INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
Article 109 of the Colorado Business Corporation Act generally provides that we may indemnify our directors, officers, employees and agents against liabilities in any action, suit or proceeding whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal (a "Proceeding"), by reason of being or having been a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of Medix, if such person acted in good faith and reasonably believed that his conduct, in his official capacity, was in the best interests of Medix (or, with respect to employee benefit plans, was in the best interests of the participants of the plan), and in all other cases that his conduct was at least not opposed to Medix's best interests. In the case of a criminal proceeding, the director, officer, employee or agent must have had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Under Colorado Law, we may not indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent in connection with a proceeding by or in the right of Medix if the director is adjudged liable to Medix, or in a proceeding in which the directors, officer employee or agent is adjudged liable for an improper personal benefit.
Our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that we shall indemnify our directors, and officers, employees and agents to the extent and in the manner permitted by the provisions of the laws of the State of Colorado, as amended from time to time, subject to any permissible expansion or limitation of such indemnification, as may be set forth in any stockholders' or directors' resolution or by contract.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling Medix pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission"), such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

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:
(a) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933,
(b) 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement,
(c) 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;
provided, however, that clauses (a) and (b) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by such clauses is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed 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.
(4) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this registration statement 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.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above, or otherwise, 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 Securities 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 whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
(1) For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
(2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus 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) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement 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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3 and has duly caused this Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-3 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of New York, State of New York, on June 20, 2003.
