4. HISTORY AND PROSPECTS

4.1 THE COMPANY

AMZ Ventures Limited (“AMZVL”) is incorporated on May 13, 2004 and has been licensed by the
SECP to undertake the business of venture capital investments under the Non Banking Finance
Companies (Establishment and Regulation) Rules, 2003. Classical venture capital is conspicuous by its
absence from our local financial markets. Early in the history of Pakistan’s capital market development
institutions such as the National Investment Trust and the Investment Corporation of Pakistan had
initiated a conscious effort to provide venture capital to industry but this role was quickly extinguished
by the nationalization of the financial sector. Subsequently more than three decades have passed and
today aspiring entrepreneurs find it even more difficult to seek out seed capital. As a venture capital
company, AMZVL’s mandate will be to identify and develop appropriate investment opportunities in
Pakistan and in other countries. While theoretically venture capital is usually doled out to startup
companies, in Pakistan’s context an optimistically cautious approach is required in the formative years of
the Venture Capital Company given the nascent stage of development of this industry and the severe lack
of culture which embraces the basic tenants of corporate governance. Therefore, during these formative
years AMZVL will lean towards slightly more mature investments wherein product or process
development has been well defined but additional capital is required to convert the company into a true
economic value contributor. The other caveat is the control. AMZVL will only invest in those companies
where reasonable control can be exercised all the way through the exit strategy for the specific
investment. This caveat may, however, be relaxed in those instances where a less than majority stake is
desired for purposes of acquiring mature technologies or other resources which may have a beneficial
economic impact on the operations of associated or subsidiary concerns. Needless to say these and other
investment guidelines will be clearly expounded. More generally AMZVL will:

• Finance rapidly growing companies;


• Purchase equity securities;
• Assist in the development of new products or services;
• Add value to a company through active participation;
• Take higher risks with the expectation of higher rewards;
• Have a long term orientation.

To kick start the venture capital process, and as it’s first venture capital project, AMZVL is raising funds
to invest in Go Internet & Software Services (Pvt.) Limited (“GoNet”), which is wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company engaged in the business of Business Process Outsourcing. As a first step
GoNet has been converted into a wholly owned subsidiary of AMZVL via a share swap whereby
AMZVL has issued new shares to the existing shareholders of GoNet, on a one-to-one basis for a total
transaction value of Rs. 75 million (7.5 million shares at a par value of Rs. 10 each). This share swap has
resulted in the initial capitalization of AMZVL. AMZVL has further increased its paid-up capital by an
amount of Rs. 125 million via Private Placement and the Company is now pursuing an Initial Public
Offering (“IPO”) of its shares in amount of Rs. 100 million.

The Rs. 225 million of new funds thus raised are to be used to finance a two-pronged strategy to expand
GoNet’s existing Business Process Outsourcing (“BPO”) production platform such that of these amounts
approximately 60% would be deployed towards the acquisition of MT companies in the US, with the
balance 40% being utilized to enhance the existing infrastructure and capacity of GoNet to accommodate
the anticipated additional business volumes, and also to fulfill the company’s working capital
requirements. The acquired companies in the US will send data back to the production facility in
Pakistan to be transcribed. (Please refer to para 4.11)

This first round of capital raising will enable GoNet to substantially enhance its focus in the area of BPO
(or off-shoring) in general and more specifically in the area of Medical Transcription Services. Over the
past almost 24 months the Group has established a significant presence in this area of business by setting
up what is today one of Pakistan’s largest medical transcription (“MT”) production facilities, employing
in excess of 250 transcriptionists, quality assurance experts and telecommunication/network engineers in

- 14 -
PROSPECTUS

different management cadres. The primary facility is based in Karachi with a satellite operation in
Lahore.

4.2 THE BUSINESS CONCEPT

BPO is increasingly becoming the strategic choice of companies who not only wish to achieve a
reduction in costs, but improve their service quality, increase shareholder value and focus on their core
business activities.

The differential in wage structure between the United States and emerging market countries (such as
India, Pakistan and the Philippines), along with the considerable reduction in telecommunication costs
have prompted a number of US based companies offering call center, medical/legal transcription and
other such services to outsource the labour intensive component to low-wage offshore locations. This
labour arbitrage strategy is being undertaken in order to create economic value by substantially reducing
the company’s cost structure. As is well known a more than substantial portion of such business
processes being offshored by US companies is captured by India. The model is well proven and has
enabled India to increase its IT export revenues to more than US$12 billion per annum.

The medical transcription industry in the US is highly competitive and fragmented, pitting literally
thousands of small local and regional service providers against a few large national transcription service
companies. Due to the approaching Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. 1996,
mandated by US Congress (“HIPAA”) regulations on privacy and security, the demand for transcription
services is likely to grow and will continue to put pressure on the limited pool of highly skilled
practitioners. This shortage of qualified transcriptionists puts continuing upward pressure on wages and
benefits, causing a higher than normal turnover rate.

The US healthcare Industry is today worth in excess of US$ 1.4 trillion (14 per cent of the GDP).
According to the MT industry estimates in the US, while every year the business in this field is going up
by 10 per cent, there is a proportionate decline in the number of medical transcriptionists. Mostly
youngsters leave this profession for better remuneration. The total transcription capacity that can be
handled in the US is estimated to fall from 85.37 billion lines in 2000 to 50.80 billion lines by 2004. As a
parallel process the shortfall to be outsourced internationally will go up from 106.27 billion lines in 2000
to 196.37 billion lines in 2004.1

According to industry studies the value of MT business to India is projected to increase from Rs 4.35
billion in 2000 to Rs 19.29 billion in 2004. India today has a market share of around 3 per cent in US MT
business.2

Growth in demand for medical transcription services in the US is directly impacted by the number of
hospital admissions and outpatient visits. Each hospital admission or outpatient visit generates dictated or
written data which must be entered into a patient's record. For the quarter ended September 30, 1995, the
American Hospital Association estimated that the number of hospital admissions and outpatient visits in
the United States amounted 8.3 million (an increase of approximately 3% over the corresponding period
in 1992) and 112 million (an increase of approximately 22% over the corresponding period in 1992),
respectively.

The sponsors of AMZVL strongly believe that the apparent trends in the MT industry in the US provide
excellent business opportunities for offshoring this business process to Pakistan. It is felt that extremely
competitive pricing, vis-à-vis the US market, can be provided. Pakistan has a sizable number of medical
graduates and or students who are an excellent resource base for the MT business. Add to this the general
availability of science and B.Pharm graduates and the universe of available manpower expands
exponentially. Familiarity with the English language also provides these graduates with the ability to
comprehend spoken America English. These major attributes have enabled AMZVL/GoNet to build a
sustainable business model based on a core team of people trained in all aspects of the transcription
process. These processes are continuously updated /upgraded through in-house training and lab facilities.

4.3 TRANSACTION BACKGROUND

The transaction has commenced with the transfer of ownership of GoNet to AMZVL. As part of the
transaction an amount of Rs. 125 million has already been raised through private placement and it is
expected that the balance Rs. 100 million will be raised through the public issue for which purpose this
prospectus is being circulated. The funds raised in this manner by AMZVL are to be utilized to increase
GoNet’s existing paid-up capital of Rs. 76 million in incremental amounts to be determined by the Board
of directors. The funds flowing into GoNet are to be utilized by the company to substantially enhance its
medical transcription production facilities in Pakistan; to establish an MT training facility in Karachi;
and for the acquisition of MT Companies in the US through a fully owned subsidiary in the US. AMZAI
has already been established as a holding company (with the permission of the State Bank of Pakistan)
for MT companies acquired in the US, and has been registered in the State of Delaware, USA, as a
category “C” corporation. The Internal Revenue Service of the US defines such companies as Foreign
Controlled Domestic Corporations. The present Directors of AMZAI are:

• Athar Haneef Naseem Shaikh


• Farook A. Khan
• Edward R. Leahy
• Shaukat Hayat

Mr. Shaikh and Mr. Khan are directors of AMZVL while Mr. Hayat is an executive director of GoNet
and AMZ Technologies and is presently looking after post-acquisition marketing activities in the US.
Mr. Leahy is co-founder and managing partner of AEG Capital LLC, and has over 30 years experience in
the business, financial, legal, international and regulatory markets. Prior to forming AEG Capital, Mr.
Leahy was a partner at Bingham Dana LLP, one of the USA’s leading law firms. In that capacity, he
worked with corporations and governments on domestic and international business transactions,
securities and financial matters. Mr. Leahy is a lawyer by training and graduated with honors from the
University of Scranton in 1968 and from Boston College Law School in 1971. Mr. Leahy attended law
school as a Presidential Scholar. While at Boston College, Mr. Leahy was elected to the Order of the
Coif and served as Editor-in-Chief of the Boston College Law Review. During the 2002-03 academic
year, Mr. Leahy was the Sir Maurice Shock Visiting Fellow at University College, Oxford University
and since 1998 has lectured regularly at Oxford. AEG Capital LLC is based in Washington D.C. and has
been retained by GoNet to assist in the setting up of AMZAI and in providing vital marketing support,
identifying target companies for acquisitions and assisting in the due diligence of target companies.

The holding company’s task would be to identify acquisition targets, conduct the necessary due
diligence, execute the acquisition, and thereafter act as holding company of the acquired entities. Direct
ownership of the acquired MT companies in the US would be vested with AMZAI which in turn is a
fully owned subsidiary of GoNet. AMZVL’s returns will solely comprise dividends and returns from
GoNet. GoNet’s revenues are generated directly from transcription work already being undertaken and in
future from each individual MT Company to be acquired by AMZAI, and from ancillary transcription
business sourced directly from hospitals/clinics in the US as well as from other US based MT companies.

4.4 TRANSACTION STRUCTURE

As per the structure of the transaction (given below) a Venture Capital Company (AMZVL), has been
established which has already placed an amount of Rs. 125 million out of its total equity of Rs. 300
million to potential investors as a private placement, and through this prospectus expects to conduct an
IPO for the balance Rs. 100 million. The purpose of this investment would be to finance the acquisition
of US based MT companies, to facilitate an expansion in the existing infrastructure of the Group’s local
MT facilities, and to cater to the working capital requirements of the local operations. The total amount
of the above investment is expected to be fully deployed within a period of 18 months from the date
funds are received from the proposed public subscription.

- 16 -
PROSPECTUS

The structure provides for issuance of two classes of shares:

Class “A” Shares – Have been issued to the pre-IPO investors and employees of Group companies
and a further issue of Rs. 100 million shall be made to the general public; and

Class “B” Shares – Have been issued to the Promoters, Directors and the employees of Group
Companies:

Out of the AMZVL’s total equity of Rs. 300 million, the investment by the promoters, directors and
employees of the Group Companies amounts to Rs. 75 million (i.e. 25%) in the form of existing assets
and infrastructure of GoNet. As part of this arrangement, the shareholders of GoNet have been issued one
share of AMZVL in exchange for one share held in GoNet. Thus GoNet has become a wholly owned
subsidiary of AMZVL.

Funds raised by AMZVL would be substantially deployed in GoNet. Of these amounts approximately
60% would be deployed towards the acquisition of MT companies in the US, with the balance 40% being
utilized to enhance the existing infrastructure and capacity of GoNet to accommodate the anticipated
additional business volumes, and also to fulfill the company’s working capital requirements.

The portion of funds earmarked by GoNet for acquisition of US based MT companies would be remitted
(with the approval of the State Bank of Pakistan) to AMZ Access Inc. (“AMZAI”). AMZAI would
identify the acquisition targets, conduct the necessary due diligence, execute the requisite acquisition,
and thereafter act as holding company of the acquired entities. About 85% of the total MT business
volume of the acquired companies would – in a phased manner – be outsourced by the acquired
companies to GoNet. AMZAI would, for its part, receive dividend income from the acquired companies,
net of tax and expenses.

restructured the company to grow as a BPO platform, by transferring its entire BPO facilities (previously
housed in AMZT) to the said company in January 2004.

4.6 MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION BACKGROUND

The medical transcription industry has its genesis in the US. It was developed as a result of three basic
requirements:

• The need to maintain basic hospital data;


• Recording of data and medical procedures for research; and
• Records for insurance purposes.

Medical practice in the US is bound by strict codes of ethics and statutes, failure to comply with, which
can lead to expensive malpractice lawsuits. Hence a high level of documentation is required at every
stage of treatment, as medical associations have mandatory and complex requirements on documentation
for doctors. Since this is a highly time consuming process and requires additional skills on the part of the
doctor, the task is outsourced to trained professionals who convert voice files into typed forms.

Under this process, the doctors simply record their findings through a dictaphone or some other such
device. These sound tracks are then sent through data communication lines to local or overseas
companies that employ medical transcriptionists who listen to these recordings, transcribe them into
reports and send them back electronically through the same data communication lines. Previously
transcription was only contracted out to companies in close proximity to the concerned hospitals/clinics.
However, recent trends show that MT business is being outsourced to overseas IT companies in countries
such as Mexico, West Indies, India, Philippines, etc. to take advantage of lower cost of production. In
view of the present day availability of high speed satellite and terrestrial data/voice links, it is now
extremely feasible for companies to do this.

4.7 MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION INDUSTRY IN THE UNITED STATES

The US healthcare expenditure, which amounted to US$ 1.2 trillion in 1999, is expected to reach a record
US$ 2.1 trillion by 20071. The MT industry in the US is highly competitive and fragmented. According
to the MT industry estimates in the US2, while every year the business in this field is going up by 10%,
there is a proportionate decline in the number of medical transcriptionists. Mostly youngsters leave this
profession for more exciting jobs with better remuneration. Therefore, the total transcription capacity that
can be handled in the US is estimated to fall from 85.37 billion lines in 2000 to 50.80 billion lines by the
end 2004. Consequently, the shortfall to be outsourced internationally will go up from 106.27 billion
lines in 2000 to 196.37 billion lines in 20043.

- 19 -
PROSPECTUS

Growth in demand for MT services in the US is directly impacted by the number of hospital
admissions/out patient visits, and the need for paperwork. Each hospital admission or outpatient visit
generates dictated or written data, which must be entered into a patient's record. According to a survey,
for each hour of patient care an average of 40 minutes of paperwork was required in 20024.Total
outpatient visits in only Community Hospitals have increased from 200 million in 1980 to more than 550
million in 2001 (an increase of more than 150%)5.

4.8 SOURCES AND MEANS OF FINANCING

AMZVL intends to raise total financing of Rs. 225 million, out of which Rs. 125 million has been raised
through Pre-IPO placements and Rs. 100 million is being offered to the general public. This amount is in
addition to the promoter, directors and management subscription of Rs. 75 million. Thus, total
capitalization of the Company after the IPO would be Rs. 300 million.

Over a period of time AMZVL will primarily invest the amounts raised in the manner described above
by injecting equity into GoNet. The funds will be deployed to increase GoNet’s paid-up capital so as to
enable GoNet to:

ƒ substantially enhance its medical transcription facilities in Pakistan;


ƒ establish an MT training facility in Karachi;
ƒ acquire MT Companies in the US through a US based holding company

Out of the total amount of investment in GoNet, approximately 60% would be deployed towards
conducting acquisitions in the US with the remaining 40% to be utilized to create the necessary
infrastructure locally, via expansion of the existing MT production facilities.

4.9 PAKISTAN OPERATIONS

4.9.1 Medical Transcription Facilities

GoNet’s MT production facilities are presently housed in a five storey rented building located on main
Shahrah-e-Faisal, Karachi. The building has its own dedicated standby power generator, and is fully
networked in terms of structured cabling. The facility has a dedicated radio link with the main switching
facility/point-of-presence (“POP”)/Internet Protocol (“IP”) backbone at the Group’s headquarters on I.I.
Chundrigar Road, Karachi. As backup, an Integrated System Digital Network (“ISDN”) and Internet
Via Satellite (“IVS”) has been installed on the premises. Triple redundancy has recently been added by
establishing another backup route through PTCL’s digital cross-connect service (optical-fiber based). A
remote dedicated POP enables the planning and implementation of proper disaster recovery/business
continuity processes. Total available work related area is approximately 16,000 sq ft, sufficient to
accommodate around 500 personnel on a single 8-hour shift basis. Space allocation includes open plan
work areas, training labs and general offices for support staff.

Although, the major thrust of building up of the MT production facilities will be limited to Karachi, a
parallel process of team and facility building will take place in Lahore. So far, the MT production
facilities in Lahore have been housed in GoNet’s existing office premises in Gulberg. Additional space
is being looked for in Lahore to cater for the expansion in MT production facilities. The Lahore MT
production unit will also back up the Karachi facility to minimize production disruptions should they
occur.

GO INTERNET & SOFTWARE SERVICES (PRIVATE) LIMITED (GONET)

GoNet was originally established as an Internet Service Provider (“ISP”) in the year 2000 by a group of
expatriate Pakistanis based out of New York. GoNet was acquired by the AMZ Group in August 2002.
Under the structure of this transaction, AMZVL has taken shareholding in GoNet through an exchange of

4.9.2 Technology

GoNet presently operates a second generation MT System, which is a mid-level data management,
distribution and reporting system for in house use. GoNet has also established an Active Server Pages
(“ASP”) based suite of products for Business Intelligence (“BI”). It has powerful querying, sophisticated
analysis, data mining and pre-emptive alerting features all built into one suite of products. GoNet plans
to integrate this product line with its healthcare solutions, which would provide value addition to
hospitals and other clients. In addition, it is working to establish an integrated Workflow Management
system with ASP accessibility and data analysis tools, based upon proprietary software, to fully service
the transcription and document management needs of its existing clients as well as to integrate the data
captured by its acquired companies. The proposed system will further allow GoNet to offer Data Mining
and Data warehousing facilities to the clients of its acquired companies as well as enable it to cater to the
basic research requirements of the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry. GoNet has also successfully
completed the development of keys and keystroke combinations, which translates into commonly used,
often misspelled, medical and technical terms. It is expected that the first version of the workflow
management system may be deployed in the USA by October, 2004. This version, which is tentatively
being called MTAS (medical transcription automation system), will also incorporate voice recognition
and voice mining features which will increase the productivity of transcribers and quality assurance
coordinators.

A central database control center working on an ASP model has been established, which is called the
Network Operating Center (“NOC”). The principal function of the model is the management of all data
inflows and outflows to the system. It is compliant with Health Level seven(HL-7)6 and conforms to
HIPAA compliance requirements for data security and accessibility. Plans are presently underway for
the company to also market this product in the US.

PROSPECTUS

GoNet has the capability to connect to the router port of most of the Hospital’s network in the US to
extract and deposit data into their Electronic Systems from its production offices in Pakistan. In addition,
GoNet plans to establish a third generation MT System which will incorporate the HL-7 format and other
interface protocols

The development of a Dictation Tracking System (“DTS”) is also in progress so as to enable GoNet and
its clients to track the status of particular patient data and transcribed reports at any point in time as well

- 25 -
PROSPECTUS

as assist in evaluating GoNet’s on-time performance. DTS can also be used as an integral management
tool to monitor physician timeliness in the dictation, review and sign-off process.

In addition, GoNet is developing tools to enhance the efficiency of its production staff from the standard
of 500 lines per person per day to 800 lines per person per day within the next three months. This is
being done by integrating word expanders, dictionary and Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) tools to monitor
the patterns of dictation and the errors committed by individual transcriptionists.

4.9.3 Workforce and Training

GoNet’s BPO facilities in Karachi and Lahore employ 250 and 30 BPO personnel respectively. A crucial
part of GoNet’s strategic objectives includes the provision of quality services by retaining qualified staff.
Nearly all the employees in the Pakistan operations are university and college graduates.

The principal criterion in selecting a medical transcriptionist is good English comprehension skills, with
extensive medical knowledge and understanding. To achieve this, GoNet has designed rigorous selection
procedures that facilitate the effective assessment of a candidate.

GoNet has identified the need to train and retain transcriptionists as being one of its critical success
factors. Therefore, an in-house training center has been incorporated, which is presently under the
supervision of Head of Quality Controller and Training. The centre is imparting language skills,
computer skills and knowledge of medical terms. Based on past experience, it takes up to 12 weeks to
bring a transcriptionist “online”.

4.10 US SALES AND MARKETING TEAM

Sales and marketing activities in the US will evolve and unfold over the next six months. The current
business development activities in the USA are being spearheaded by Mr. Farook Khan, Director of
AMZVL and COO of GoNet. While Mr. Farook will be moving back and forth between Pakistan and
the USA, Mr. Shaukat Hayat, (Executive Director level resource person with the Group, has extensive
experience of marketing in the US and has also be been closely associated with setting up the MT
production facility in Pakistan as the development team’s overall leader), is permanently based in the
USA. A networking specialist from Pakistan has also been moved to the USA to look after back office
integration issues both for existing clients and for the newly acquired companies.

Mr. Farook Khan would have the overall responsibility of US operations. His pre-eminent task is to
develop and implement a formal marketing plan to assist marketing efforts with traditional hospital
clients, to help penetrate emerging markets, to identify acquisition opportunities and to conduct
negotiations with these companies on behalf of GoNet, after conducting a valuation exercise. In order to
identify, negotiate, verify and close the acquisition deals Mr. Khan would engage the services of a team
of Attorney(s), CPA(S) and Broker(s). These resources have been identified and are already in place. Mr.
Khan will be assisted in these endeavors by Mr. Edward Leahy and Shaukat Hayat, both of whom are
directors of AMZ Access Inc.

4.11 ACQUISITION STRATEGY

In addition to building up MT production facilities in Pakistan, GoNet intends to pursue acquisitions of


other transcription companies, with the objective to expand its client base, network of qualified
transcriptionists or geographic presence, as well as acquisitions, joint ventures and other relationships,
which would add value due to advanced technological expertise. The Company believes that it can
capitalize on consolidation opportunities within the fragmented medical transcription industry in the US.

- 26 -
PROSPECTUS

MT Companies in the US can be broadly categorized into the following three categories, based on annual
revenue:*
Category Companies Annual Revenue
First 1-2 $100 million
Second 20-30 S10 million – S100 million
Third 2000-2500 Less than $10 million
* Market study on Healthcare and Medical Market in the US conducted by the UK Trade and Investment Department.

The first category entails companies with more than $100m in annual revenue. Around 20-30 companies
operate within the second category with revenues of $10m to $100m. The third category contains 2000-
2500 companies generating revenues up to $10m. Majority of the companies in this last category gross
less than $3m per annum, and this is the target market for the Company’s acquisitions.

The acquisition universe would largely comprise of small and medium sized entities, having annual
revenues of between $ 500,000 to about $ 2 million. The target companies, while having an existing
client base, lack the ability and/or the will to expand further or incur additional capital expenditure so as
to stay abreast of any advancement in technology, or to diversify geographically. It is envisaged that the
Company would acquire at least 5 MT companies, with cumulative revenues of $ 4 million
(approximately) per annum, by June 2005.

The first acquisition target, Global Transcriptions (GT) based in St. Louis, Missouri, has already been
executed and full payment has been made subsequent to carrying out a due diligence exercise as per legal
and accounting requirements currently prevailing in the United States for transactions of this size and
magnitude. Meanwhile the process to transfer business volumes to Pakistan has already commenced.
GoNet has had a business relationship with GT for the past two years and hence its contractual
obligations with other hospitals and clinics are well known and established. A second target company is
based out of Nashville, Tennessee and is currently under negotiations. Similarly, other opportunities are
being looked at which will materialize over the next 3 to 4 months.

Based on previous senior management level experience, the Company will work on each acquisition with
industry specialists, including consultants, lawyers and accountants (CPA’s) who have the relevant
standing and sufficient industry experience, and have developed comprehensive procedures to
successfully execute and conclude any specific acquisition. Some of the most common requirements for
potential acquisition targets are:

- They must be tax paying registered corporations;


- All production procedures and operations are conducted through digital methods;
- They should have their own basic stand-alone infrastructure and should not be relying on any
other company for any part of their operations;
- They should have verifiable and signed contracts with their clients for a specified period of
time;
- They should have reputable and easily verifiable track records;
- Some specific and well defined requirements about rates, quality of work, turn-around time, and
agreements have to be met for the company to qualify as a good buy;
- The payment plan for purchase is normally staggered over a period of time;
- The current owner should work with the company for a certain time to ensure a smooth
transition period.

The MT companies will be acquired on the basis of multiples of annual revenues or positive cash flows.
As per common industry practice, such target companies are sold for between 0.5 to 1.5 of the annual
revenue. These companies would be purchased on deferred payment basis. Valuations can move up or
down based on demand and supply and the overall state of the economy. But this is true for any industry
groupings.

- 27 -
PROSPECTUS

4.11.1 Criteria for Qualification

Companies that fulfill the basic criteria will be considered for acquisition. Some of the most common
requirements includes, potential acquisition targets must be tax paying registered corporations, with
reputable and easily verifiable track record, production procedures conducted through digital methods.
Some specific and well-defined requirements about rates, quality of work, turn-around time, and
agreements would also have to be met to qualify as a good buy.

4.11.2 Acquisition Procedures

The procedures developed by GoNet call for standardization and branding of the service once the
acquisition is complete. The following are defined procedures for every step leading to final closing:

ƒ Initial Information Exchange from possible acquisition target


ƒ Visit and scrutiny of information by team of experts
ƒ Accounts books and agreements scrutiny
ƒ Offer to purchase
ƒ Due-Diligence
ƒ Closing
ƒ Training and Transition Period
ƒ Normal operations and outsourcing work to production office in Pakistan in phased manner
ƒ The marketing plan and budgets of the company need close scrutiny
ƒ The accounts and finance of the company, taxes, etc. are scrutinized and approved for a buy
before a deal is negotiated any further

4.11.3 Proposed Acquisition Schedule

A pipeline of potential acquisition target companies is presently being developed. The company has
already identified and formed understandings with industry experts, brokers, CPAs and Attorneys and
has also short-listed seven possible acquisitions. It is envisaged that the company would acquire up to
five (5) MT Companies with cumulative revenue of approx US$4million (approximately) by June 2005.
The following table provides an approximation of the acquisition schedule through June, 2007:

2005 2006 2007


No. of Companies 5 5 8
Acquisition cost etc. $ 4.0 M $ 5.0 M $ 8.0 M

Only first acquisition of M/s. Global Transcriptions (GT) based in St. Louis, Missouri, USA has been
made on full cost basis and remaining acquisitions shall be made on 50% down payment and deferred
balance payment basis within two to three years from acquisition.

4.12 FUTURE PROSPECTS

Initially, GoNet will focus on the infrastructure development of its local MT operations; acquisition of
US based MT companies and the provision of MT services. However, GoNet has plans to effect
technological enhancements to the MT System to increase the speed and accuracy of its transcriptionists.
In addition to its traditional transcription services to hospital medical record departments, GoNet plans to
penetrate into patient care departments, such as radiology, emergency rooms, oncology, pediatrics,
cardiology, etc.

4.13 RISKS AND MITIGANTS

In making the investment decision, the investor may take into consideration following material risks:

- 28 -
PROSPECTUS

4.13.1 Risks Associated with the Business

a. Dependence on Single Line of Business

The Company's revenues are presently derived primarily from the provision of medical transcription
services to hospitals, healthcare organizations, and other transcription companies on an outsourced basis.
The Company's future success will depend on the continued market acceptance of its transcription
services and the continued trend towards outsourcing of transcription services. A reduction in demand or
increase in competition in the market for its transcription services would have a material adverse effect
on the Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The cost of onshore transcription is becoming prohibitive due to diminishing availability of trained
manpower in the US, and the comparatively higher cost that hospitals have to pay for transcriptions.
Countries like Pakistan are ideally suited for such back office operations. AMZVL believes that GoNet,
based on past experience, will be able to cater to the needs of its clients by employing trained and skilled
transcriptionists providing high quality services on competitive rates. Furthermore, the Company plans to
diversify into other areas of service provision to the health care industry in the US as part of their overall
strategy.

b. Rapid Technological Change

The healthcare information services industry is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving
client needs and emerging technical standards. The introduction of competing services or products
incorporating new technologies, such as voice recognition capabilities, and the emergence of new
technical standards could render some or all of the Company's services unmarketable. The Company
believes that its future success depends on its ability to enhance its current services and develop new
services that address the increasingly sophisticated needs of its customers. The failure of the Company to
develop and introduce service enhancements and new services in a timely and cost-effective manner in
response to changing technologies or client requirements would have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

GoNet has identified this risk and has established sophisticated technological systems for high quality
MT services. In addition to the above, the Company plans to conduct continuous research on the possible
technological changes that could occur, so as to enable the Company to employ suitable strategies to
mitigate the risk. In this regard the company has already developed its first generation of transcription
products based on voice recognition and voice mining. These are being deployed in the USA in the near
future.

c. Dependence on Key Personnel

The Company's future success depends upon its ability to attract and retain its key managerial personnel.
The loss of services of some of the Company's executive officers or the inability of the Company to
attract additional management personnel could have a material adverse effect upon the Company's
business, financial condition and results of operations.

GoNet recognizes the need and importance of its work force and offers competitively attractive packages
to its employees; furthermore, employees are provided extensive training via competent trainers to
further enhance their skills. All these factors result in GoNet being viewed as an attractive workplace for
existing and potential employees. These positive attributes have greatly assisted the company in
expanding its human resource base to its present level of 250 headcount from the initial figure of 14
persons, two years ago.

d. Potential for Significant Fluctuations in Annual Operating Results

The Company may, in the future, experience, significant fluctuations in its annual operating results,
which could result in volatility in the price of the Common Stock. Annual results of operations may
fluctuate as a result of a variety of factors, including demand for the Company's services, the opening of
new offices, the timing of introduction of new services and service enhancements by the Company or its
competitors, market acceptance of new services, the size and timing of client contracts, changes in client

- 29 -
PROSPECTUS

budgets, the size and timing of acquisitions, the integration of acquired businesses into the Company's
operations, the number and timing of new hires, competitive conditions in the industry and general
economic conditions. Further, the Company's contracts generally involve significant client commitment
and may require time-consuming authorization procedures within the client's organization. For these and
other reasons, the sales cycles for the Company's services are typically lengthy and subject to a number
of factors outside of the Company's control.

GoNet believes that it will be able to overcome these operating risks, with the continuous input from its
team of professionals, by regulating appropriate safeguard procedures to further improve the overall
framework and structure of the organization and by rapidly diversifying its product slate in the US
through its R&D program.

e. Ability to Attract and Retain Qualified Transcriptionists

The Company's future success depends upon its ability to attract and retain qualified transcriptionists. As
competition in this business area intensifies in Pakistan, it would become increasingly difficult to retain
trained transcriptionists, especially since competitors may be offering them higher salaries. The inability
of the Company to attract, hire and retain such personnel would have a material adverse effect upon the
Company's business, financial condition and results of operations.

The Company is mitigating this risk by conducting MT training on a continuous basis via their in-house
training facility, wherein batches of 25 – 30 trained transcriptionists “graduate” every quarter, with the
majority joining the company’s workforce. The strategy is ,therefore, to have a continuous supply of
trained transcriptionists available to cater to its business volumes, even though many may move to other
companies.

4.13.2 Risks Associated With Acquisitions

A major factor in the Company’s growth strategy is the acquisition of US based transcription companies,
and benefiting from the labor arbitrage on their existing and future business volumes. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be successful in identifying suitable acquisition targets, arranging
financing for such acquisitions, negotiating terms favorable to the Company, consummating the said
acquisitions or integrating the acquired businesses into the Company's operations. Moreover, in
connection with the acquisitions, the Company may be required to incur additional indebtedness or other
liabilities, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company's liquidity and capital resources,
or it may have to issue additional shares, which could result in diluting the holding or earning capacity of
its existing shareholders.

AMZVL believes that GoNet (the production arm) and AMZ Access Inc(the purchasing arm), are both
equipped with a team of competent professionals who possess the necessary skills and will be able to
reduce this risk to an acceptable level. The Company has already acquired Global Transcription for this
purpose. Other potential acquisition targets have been identified and short-listed. In this regard the
Company has retained in the US lawyers, CPA’s and consultants who are highly reputed and well versed
with the acquisition of technology companies, in order to assist it in the due diligence process as well as
in conducting negotiations with potential sellers.

4.13.3 Competition

Increased competition may result in price reductions for the Company's services, reduced operating
margins and the inability of the Company to increase its market share. There can be no assurance that the
Company will be able to compete successfully against current or future competitors or that competitive
pressures will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's operating performance. However, it
may be noted that the US healthcare Industry is today worth in excess of US$ 1.4 trillion, whereas every
year MT business volumes increase by 10 per cent. Presently 97% of the overall MT business is being
conducted within the US, but at present there is a proportionate decline in the number of medical
transcriptionists. Therefore it is estimated that business volumes outsourced internationally will go up
from 106.27 billion lines in 2000 to 196.37 billion lines in 2004. Consequently, the potential for
business in this area is so substantial that even increased competition would not have a very significant
impact on the volumes.

- 30 -
PROSPECTUS

4.13.4 Changes in the Healthcare Industry

The healthcare industry in the US is subject to changing political, economic and regulatory influences
that may affect the outsourcing arrangements of healthcare providers. Federal and state legislators have
proposed programs to reform the United States healthcare system and other proposals are in the
development stage. In general, these programs and proposals tend to emphasize managed care, seek to
lower reimbursement rates and otherwise attempt to control the environment in which healthcare
providers operate. Additionally, there are movements in many States to table legislation which may
restrict or prevent health care service companies from outsourcing transcription services to off-shore
destinations. Healthcare providers may react to these proposals and the uncertainty surrounding such
proposals by curtailing outsourcing arrangements or deferring decisions regarding the use of outsourced
services. Many healthcare providers are consolidating to create larger healthcare delivery organizations.
This consolidation reduces the number of potential clients for the Company's services and increases the
bargaining power of these organizations, which could lead to reductions in the amounts paid for the
Company's services. The impact of these developments in the healthcare industry is difficult to predict
and could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, financial condition and results of
operations.

4.13.5 Confidentiality Requirements

The medical information transcribed by the Company is of an extremely sensitive nature. In providing its
services, the Company is subject to certain statutory, regulatory and common law requirements regarding
the confidentiality of medical information. Failure to comply with such confidentiality requirements
could result in material liability to the Company.

GoNet recognizes the importance of confidentiality in the MT industry and fully assures the secrecy and
prohibition of information relating to its clients by creating a culture to maintain the secrecy and
imparting proper training to its employees as well as its acquired companies. Additionally, all
transcription services are provided over secure networks with the minimum capability of 0f 128 bit
encryption.

Note: It is stated that all material risk factors have been disclosed and nothing has been concealed
with respect to this Prospectus.
