Advertising Revenue<br />

Advertising revenue came from advertising and sponsorship for both our medical consumer services (content aimed at general<br />

consumers) and medical professional services (content aimed at medical professionals).<br />

Advertisement placements appeared on both the VMC website and our bi-weekly e-newsletters. Sponsorship included providing<br />

educational information relevant to the disease and product area, creating interactive screening and monitoring tools, and promoting educational<br />

videos and brochures.<br />

Advertising revenue came from advertising and sponsorship for both the medical consumer and medical professionals market.<br />

Earnings from the medical consumer market were primarily a result of increased revenues from VMC’s joint venture with Telstra Australia’s<br />

ISP company, BigPond.<br />

Increases in the medical professional market were attributable to contracts for 12-month advertising and educational sponsorships<br />

with new clients, St. Jude Medical, Orphan Australia and Novogen Consumer Healthcare. VMC’s significant growth in revenue in this market as<br />

compared to the same periods last year were due to VMC continuing to develop our relationship and reputation within the pharmaceutical<br />

industry and also to evolve our product offering to better respond to clients’ needs. VMC intends to continue to enhance its product offering to<br />

the pharmaceutical industry in an effort to further increase revenue.<br />

Operating Expenses<br />

Our operating expenses were $2,555,850 and $1,853,481 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The increase<br />

in our expenses was primarily due to the costs incurred relating to the Exchange Agreement and capital raising activities undertaken by us.<br />

Capital raising costs increased our expenditure by $150,862. In addition, we incurred additional costs relating to the audit and the conversion of<br />

our financial statements into U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), in relation to the Exchange Agreement.<br />

Employee Expenses<br />

During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, our employee expenses increased to $1,121,854 from $851,963 for the fiscal year ended<br />

June 30, 2009. This increase in employee expenses was due to the hiring of additional staff to assist in the Company’s increased operating<br />

activity in 2010.<br />

Travel expenses<br />

Our travel expenses for the year ended June 30, 2010 increased to $130,234 from $79,311 for the fiscal year ended June 30,<br />

2009. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, we incurred significant travel to the U.S. in relation to the Exchange Agreement. In addition,<br />

we expect to continue to incur significant travel costs over the next 12 months as we pursue additional funding and expand our U.S. operations.<br />

Professional Fees<br />

Professional fees increased from $329,768 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 to $562,622 for the fiscal year ended June 30,<br />

2010. This is due to increased legal and accounting fees relating to the audit of the Company’s financial statements, the conversion of the<br />

Company’s financial statements into GAAP and the structuring and execution of the Exchange Agreement.<br />
