RECORD AND VOTING SECURITIES

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on August 31, 2010 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to notice of and to vote at the Meeting.  At the close of business on such record date, the Company had 50,522,153shares of Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting.  Each outstanding share of Common Stock is entitled to one vote. There was no other class of voting securities of the Company outstanding on the Record Date. A majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock present in person or by Proxy is required for a quorum.

The holders of a majority of the Common Stock and Preferred Stock have indicated that they will vote FOR each of the foregoing proposals.  In addition, the Board of Directors of the Company recommends that each of the stockholders vote FOR each of the foregoing proposals.  Nevertheless, your vote is important to the Company and you are urged to vote date, sign and return the enclosed proxy.

PROXIES AND VOTING RIGHTS

Shares of Common Stock represented by Proxies that are properly executed, duly returned and not revoked will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein. If no instructions are contained in a Proxy, the shares of Common Stock represented thereby will be voted in FOR all four of the above-mentioned proposals and, upon any other matter that may properly be brought before the Meeting, in accordance with the judgment of the person or persons voting the Proxy.  The execution of a Proxy will in no way affect a stockholder’s right to attend the Meeting and to vote in person.  Any Proxy executed and returned by a stockholder may be revoked at any time thereafter by written notice of revocation given to the Secretary of the Company prior to the vote to be taken at the Meeting by execution of a subsequent Proxy that is presented at the Meeting or by voting in person at the Meeting in any such case, except as to any matter or matters upon which a vote shall have been cast pursuant to the authority conferred by such Proxy prior to such revocation.

Broker “non-votes” and the shares of Common Stock as to which a stockholder abstains are included for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the nominee does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner.

B.           RESPONSIBILITIES, COMMITTEES AND MATTERS REGARDING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

1.           Corporate Governance

The Company’s corporate governance is designed to ensure that members of the Board of Directors, including all independent outside Directors, perform in their capacity to ensure that the interests of the Board and management are in alignment with the interests of the stockholders.  For the current year the Board maintains Audit and Compensation Committees consisting of four  Members.

On an annual basis, each Director and named executive officer is required to complete a Director and Officer Questionnaire.  Within this questionnaire are requirements for disclosure of any transactions with the Company in which the Director or named executive officer, or any member of his or her immediate family, have a direct or indirect material conflict of interest in which the Board is responsible for resolving any such conflict.

In April 2008, the Company formed a Disclosure Committee in response to Management Certification Responsibilities under Sections 302 and 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.  The Disclosure Committee assists the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Audit Committee in monitoring (1) the integrity of the financial statements, policies, procedures and the internal financial and disclosure controls and risks of the Company, (2) the compliance by the Company with legal and regulatory requirements, to the extent that these policies, procedures and controls may generate either financial or non-financial disclosures in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additionally, in 2006, the Company also initiated a Code of Ethics, and in 2007, it initiated an Insider Trading Policy for all employees of the Company.

2.           Code of Ethics

The Company’s Code of Ethics was instituted in December 2006 and is applicable to all Directors, officers and employees. Each person, whether an employee, officer or director, has an individual responsibility to deal ethically in all aspects of the Company's business and to comply fully with all laws, regulations, and Company policies. In complying with the Company's Code of Ethics, individuals are expected to exercise high standards of integrity and good judgment and among other items, to apply principles of: honesty; avoid conflicts of interest, illegal or unethical conduct; advancement for legitimate interests to the Company’s when the opportunity to do so arises; protecting the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use and to comply with all laws, rules, regulations, policies and guidelines applicable to the operation of the Company.

 
5

 

3.           Director Independence

 The Board affirmatively determines the independence of each of its independent outside Directors and any nominee for election as an independent outside Director in accordance with required guidelines as set forth in the Exchange listing standards.

Based on these standards, the Board has determined that each of its non-employee Directors will have no relationship with the Company, except as a Director and/or stockholder of the Company.

4.           Nominations for Directors

The Company does not have a designated nominating committee. The Board of Directors does not consider a nominating committee necessary in that its independent directors will be expected to perform the same role as a nominating committee.

The Company has not adopted a formal policy with respect to minimum qualifications for members of its Board of Directors.  However, in making its nominations, the Board will consider, among other things, an individual’s senior level business experience, industry experience, financial background, breadth of knowledge about issues affecting the Company, time available for meetings and consultation regarding Company matters and other particular skills and experience possessed by the individual. Additionally, each proposed director must have the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values including the ability and fortitude to advance constructive opinion on issues affecting the Company and to be able to function appropriately in an atmosphere by and between other members of the Board of Directors.

Stockholders wishing to recommend candidates for consideration by the Board of Directors may do so by writing to the Secretary of the Company and providing the candidate’s name, biographical data and qualifications. Such candidates recommended by stockholders will be evaluated on the same basis as all other candidates.

5.           Meetings and Committees of the Board of Directors

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, there were four meetings of the Board of Directors. Each of the directors attended (or participated by telephone in) more than 75% of such meetings of the Board of Directors.    

6.           Procedures for Contacting Directors

The Company has adopted a procedure by which stockholders may send communications to one or more members of the Board of Directors by writing to such director(s) at their respective address listed in the Security Ownership section of this Proxy Statement or to the whole Board of Directors care of the Corporate Secretary, Patient Portal Technologies, Inc., 8276 Willett Parkway, Baldwinsville, NY 13027.  Any such communications addressed to the whole Board of Directors will be promptly distributed by the Secretary to each Director.

7.             Executive Compensation

 
a.  
Compensation Discussion and Analysis

 
i. 
Overview

The Board of Directors has approved the establishment of a Compensation Committee (“Committee” within this report) effective for the current fiscal year.  The Committee does not have a specific charter and has the responsibility for establishing, implementing, monitoring and reviewing the Company’s compensation philosophy and along with the other outside director, approves the salary and other compensation of officers and key employees of the Company. The Committee also administers the Company’s 2009 Stock Option Plan and recommends the terms of grants of stock options and the persons to whom such options shall be granted in accordance with such plan, which are subject to approval by the full Board of Directors.

Individuals who served as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President  and Chief Financial Officer during fiscal 2009, as well as the other individuals included in the Summary Compensation Table on page 9, are referred to as the named “executive(s)” officers within this report.

 
ii.  
Compensation Philosophy

In reaching decisions regarding executive compensation, the Committee balances the total compensation package for each executive with sales and profits attained as well as achievement of annual and long-term goals. Competitive levels of compensation are necessary in attracting, rewarding, motivating, and retaining qualified management and that compensation provided to executives remains competitive relative to the compensation paid to comparable executives of similar companies. The Committee also believes that the potential for equity ownership by management is beneficial in aligning management’s and stockholders’ interests in the enhancement of stockholder value.

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), places a limit of $1,000,000 on the amount of compensation that may be deducted by the Company in any year with respect to certain of the Company's highest paid executives.  Certain performance-based compensation that has been approved by stockholders is not subject to the deduction limit.  If necessary, the Company may attempt to qualify certain compensation paid to executive officers for deductibility under the Code, including Section 162(m).  However, the Company may from time to time pay compensation to its executive officers that may not be deductible.

 
7

 

 
iii. 
Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

The Committee makes all compensation decisions based upon recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer regarding equity awards to participating executives and employees of the Company.

The Committee annually reviews the performance of the executives including salary adjustments and equity awards whereby the Committee can exercise its discretion in modifying any recommended adjustments or awards to executives.
 
 
iv. 
Compensation Program

The Company has a comprehensive compensation program, which consists of cash compensation, both fixed and variable, and equity-based compensation. Overall compensation is predicated on industry and peer group comparisons and on performance judgments as to past and expected future contributions of the individual executive. Specific compensation for each executive is designed to fairly remunerate that employee of the Company for the effective exercise of their responsibilities, their management of the business functions for which they are responsible, their extended period of service to the Company and their dedication and diligence in carrying out their responsibilities for the Company.

Additionally, as the Company must compete with other healthcare technology companies for executive employees, the Committee sets overall compensation paid to these executives to attract and subsequently retain such employees. This objective may vary, but generally is dictated by the experience level of the individual, specific employment requirements of the Company and current market factors occurring in the healthcare technology industry. The Committee recognizes that closely monitoring these expectations over the long term will continue to be in the best interest for the enhancement of stockholder value.
 
The fixed aspect is intended to meet the requirements of compensating the executive for meeting essential goals in performance and are in place to insure the Company of consistency of leadership and the retention of qualified executives to foster a spirit of employment security, which thereby encourages decisions that will benefit long-term stockholders. Variable compensation is based upon the Committee annually adopting and approving sales, profit and stock price performance goals to be attained for the ensuing year.

 
v. 
Base Salary

The Company provides executives with a base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year. Base salary for executives is determined for each executive based on their position and responsibility by using comparative market data within the health-care industry. Base salary determinations are designed to recognize the contributions made or expected to be made in the future by the executive.

Base salary levels are reviewed annually as part of the Company’s performance review process as well as upon a promotion or other change in position responsibility. The Compensation Committee established by the Board of Directors will consider current market data individually relative to the position and responsibilities and to other executives, including the individual performance of the executive during its review of base salaries for executives.

 
8

 

 
vi. 
Performance-Based Incentive Compensation

Variable or performance-based incentive compensation is based upon the Compensation Committee annually adopting and approving sales, profit and stock price performance goals to be attained for the ensuing year.

This cash incentive portion of executive compensation gives the Committee the latitude to design incentive compensation programs to promote a team approach for high performance and achievement of corporate goals by directors, executives and employees, encourage the growth of stockholder value and allows all employees to participate in the successes of the Company.

At the end of the fiscal year in order to set performance-based incentive compensation, the Committee assesses the performance of the Company and executives for objectives achieved, including estimated results for the next fiscal year. In order to pre-determine minimum and maximum levels for each objective, an overall percentage and cash payouts for the corporate financial objectives are calculated in order to balance such payouts relative to the overall success of the Company.

In making the annual determination of the minimum, target and maximum levels, the Committee may consider the specific circumstances facing the Company during the coming year. Sales volume, necessary research and development expenditures for its ethical pharmaceutical subsidiary and return to shareholders for improved stock price targets are set in alignment with the Company’s strategic plan, expectations and performance.

 
vii. 
Long-Term Incentive Compensation

The Company has a long term incentive Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) in place which was approved in 2009.  Two  awards to company executives have been granted under the current plan through the current period.

 
viii. 
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

The Company provides executives with limited personal benefits that the Company and the Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain desired employees for key positions. The Committee reviews annually the levels of these limited personal benefits provided to the executives, which includes the use of Company vehicles and subsequently, the ability of the executive to purchase such asset at a later date. Additionally, life and disability insurance is provided at no cost to the executive and medical insurance is   provided to each executive after each executive contributes to such costs for health and dental insurance as is also available to other employees. The effects of such benefits are included in the Summary Compensation Table on page 9   as Other Compensation.

 
9

 
 
 
ix. 
Executive Compensation Summary

The Summary Compensation table provides summary information concerning cash and certain other compensation for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, paid or accrued by the Company to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer and each highly compensated executive officer of the Company whose compensation exceeded $100,000 (the “Named Executive Officers”) during 2009 and 2008.  We have included the annual compensation received by the Officers of our TB&A Hospital Television, Inc. subsidiary, which we acquired in November, 2007. As part of the acquisition, the Company entered into employment agreements with Robert Baren and Thomas Brunskole, who were officers of the Company’s subsidiary, TB&A. As of the date of this proxy, and in connection with the sale of the equipment business unit in December 2009, both employees have left the Company and their employment agreements have been terminated.

In reviewing compensation for each of the named executive officers, the Committee reviews summaries that show the executive’s current and previous compensation, including equity and non-equity based compensation.

  Proposal 2.  APPROVAL OF A REVERSE STOCK SPLIT OF 1 FOR 10 AND AMENDMENT OF THE CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO REFLECT THE REVERSE SPLIT AND TECHNICAL CORRECTIONS

A.             Background During a recent meeting the Board of Directors voted to authorize a 1 for 10 reverse stock split for the Company’s Common Stock. For each 10 shares of common stock the Company will reissue 1 share of stock effectuating the reverse stock split. The reverse split was approved to reduce the number of shareholders holding stock in the Company. Currently there are approximately 390 shareholder of record with 223 shareholders holding less than 10 shares each. The reverse split was approved as a step in the process of delisting from the OTC:BB.

The reverse will become effective October 1, 2010. At the effective time of the reverse stock split, every 10 shares of Patient Portal’s pre-split common stock, par value, $0.001 per share, will automatically be reclassified as and converted into 1 share of post-split common stock, par value, $0.001 per share. As a result of the reverse split, the number of shares of outstanding common stock will be approximately 5.05 million, excluding stock options and unexercised warrants and subject to adjustment for fractional shares. The reverse stock split will not materially affect any stockholder’s ownership percentage of Patient Portal shares, except for those who would only own a fractional share after the reverse split. Shareholder owning less than 10 shares will no longer be a shareholder rof the Company as these shares will be purchased by the Company at $0.10 per share, which was the traded price per share as of September 9, 2010. There are 385 shares that will be repurchased under this program.  Furthermore, no fractional shares will be issued, so any shareholder of the Company owning more than 10 shares but such number of shares not evenly divisible by 10 will receive a payment in lieu of such fractional shares that would have resulted from this reverse stock split at the same $0.10 per share price.
     
The Company’s Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to reflect the stock split.
 
In addition, the Certificate of Incorporation is being amended to correct technical errors discovered in the previously filed Amendment approved by the shareholder of the Company to be filed.   All of these technical errors appear in the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock terms and in summary, relate to the following provisions: (i) the stated par value of the Series C Preferred Stock; (ii) the Series C Preferred Stock liquidation preference; (iii) the Series C Preferred Stock conversion rights and terms; and (iv) the Series C Preferred Stock holders’ right to vote on an “as converted” basis along with the Common Stock holders.  The technical corrections are being made to accurately reflect that: (i) the par value of the Series C Preferred Stock is $0.01 per share; (ii) the Series C Preferred Stock holders have a right to a liquidation preference OR to convert into Common Stock and receive pro rata liquidations or distributions, but not both; (iii) if the Series C Preferred Stock holders do not elect the liquidation preference, each share converts into Common Stock representing seventy two ten thousandths of a percent (0.0072%) of the Common Stock outstanding at the time of the conversion (not seventy two hundredths as spelled out in words in the prior Amendment); and (iv) the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock have a right to vote on all matters, prior to a conversion into Common Stock, as if such shares have been converted.  The holders of the Series C Preferred Stock are in agreement with these technical corrections to accurately reflect the terms of their original stock purchase previously approved by the Shareholders.

See Exhibit I for a copy of the Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation.
 
B.  Advantages and Disadvantages

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF THE REVERSE STOCK SPLIT?
 
Advantages.
 
 
By completing the Reverse Stock Split, and deregistering our shares and eliminating our obligations under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) and our periodic reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, we expect to save approximately $140,000 per year.
     
 
Assuming we deregister the Common Stock, we will save the significant amount of time and effort expended by our management on the preparation of SEC filings and in compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.
     
 
The Reverse Stock Split will have a minimal effect on the relative voting power of our continuing shareholders.
 
  Deregistering the Common Stock will increase the number of interested investment partners which will increase the Company’s ability to raise capital to support its growth plans and increase shareholder value.

 
13

 
 
Disadvantages.
     
 
Shareholders owning less than 10 shares of our Common Stock will no longer be shareholders of the Company following the Reverse Stock Split and will not receive dividends or participate in any future success of the Company.
     
 
The terms of the Reverse Stock Split were not negotiated on an arms-length basis, but were approved by the Board of Directors.
     
 
Shareholders receiving cash in lieu of fractional shares following the filing of the Reverse Stock Split Amendment will pay taxes on any gain realized over their tax basis (usually their initial investment) in their shares.
     
 
In suspending the Company’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act, we will cease to file annual, quarterly, current and other reports and documents with the SEC, and continuing shareholders will have access to less information about the Company and our business, operations and financial performance. We will continue to have our financial statements audited by a certified public accounting firm.
 
 
We will no longer be listed on the OTC:BB however, it is a condition to the delisting of our Common Stock from the OTC:BB that we will continue to be listed on the Pink OTC Markets, Inc. following deregistration
     
 
We will no longer be subject to the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the liability provisions of the Exchange Act or the oversight of the OTC:BB.
     
 
Our executive officers, directors and 5% shareholders will no longer be required to file reports relating to their transactions in our Common Stock with the SEC. In addition, our executive officers, directors and 10% shareholders will no longer be subject to the recovery of profits provision of the Exchange Act.


 
14

 
 
C.           Recommendation of the Board of Directors

After discussion and careful analysis, the Board of Directors of the Company determined that the advantages to be realized from the reverse split  outweigh the disadvantages.  The Board has unanimously approved the reverse split  and recommended that the stockholders vote “FOR ” the Reverse Split.

1.   That the Board of Directors of the Corporation has duly adopted resolutions: (i) authorizing the Corporation to execute and file with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware this Certificate of Amendment of Certificate of Incorporation (this “Certificate of Amendment”) to combine each ten  (10) outstanding shares of the Corporation's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), into one (1) share of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share and to make the technical corrections contained in this Certificate of Amendment; and (ii) declaring this Certificate of Amendment to be advisable and recommended for approval by the stockholders of the Corporation.

The remaining 200,000 shares of Preferred Stock (subject to increase or decrease as provided below) shall be designated the “Series C Preferred Stock,” par value $0.01 per share (the Series C Preferred Stock ”), and shall have the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions, set forth below.

 
19

 
 
“Effective at 8:00 a.m. on October 8, 2010, each ten (10) shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding at such time shall be combined into one (1) share of Common Stock (the “ Reverse Stock Split ”).  No fractional shares shall be issued upon the Reverse Stock Split.  All shares of Common Stock (including fractions thereof) issuable upon the Reverse Stock Split to a given holder shall be aggregated for purposes of determining whether the Reverse Stock Split would result in the issuance of any fractional share.  If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the Reverse Stock Split would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Corporation shall, in lieu of issuing any such fractional share, pay the holder otherwise entitled to such fraction a sum in cash equal to the fraction multiplied by the fair market value per share of the Common Stock as determined in a reasonable manner by the Board of Directors.  Upon surrender by a holder of a certificate or certificates for Common Stock (including, for this purpose, a holder of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Preferred Stock), duly endorsed, at the office of the Corporation (or, if lost, an acceptable affidavit of loss is delivered to the Corporation), the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver to such holder, or to the nominee or assignee of such holder, a new certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock, or book-entry shares in lieu of a new certificate or certificates evidencing and representing the number of shares of Common Stock, that such holder shall be entitled to following the Reverse Stock Split.”

“(2) Liquidation Preference. In the event of (a) a sale, financing or refinancing of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation, or (b) the liquidation of the Corporation (collectively a “ Liquidation Event ”), the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock, who have not converted into Common Stock pursuant to Section 7 below, on a pro rata basis, shall (prior to any distribution on behalf of the holders of the Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Corporation (the “ Common Stock ”)) be entitled to a preferential distribution up to the amount of their unreturned capital contribution from the proceeds of such sale, financing, refinancing or liquidation net of expenses of the transaction, debt obligations of the Corporation, designated use of proceeds for the financing or refinancing, and any reserves deemed appropriate by the Board in its sole discretion (a “ Preferred Distribution ”).
