PART I
 
As used in this annual report on Form 10-K, “we,” “us,” “our,” “QuantRx” and “Company” refer to QuantRx Biomedical Corporation and its subsidiary, unless the context otherwise requires.
 
ITEM 1. Business.
 
Overview
 
QuantRx Biomedical Corporation is a broad-based diagnostics company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative point-of-care diagnostic products based on its patented technology platforms for the worldwide healthcare industry. The Company’s strategy is to commercialize its products through partners or distributors, maintaining full control over the regulatory processes, limiting manufacturing to critical technology and contracting the high volume manufacturing to third party partners.
 
QuantRx was incorporated December 5, 1986 under the laws of the state of Nevada. In April 2007, QuantRx increased its ownership in FluoroPharma, Inc., a development-stage molecular imaging company, to 57.78% of outstanding capital stock, resulting in its consolidation effective April 1, 2007. The investment in FluoroPharma is intended to strategically expand QuantRx’s diagnostic platforms.
 
Our Business
 
The Company’s technologies and investments target significant market opportunities through the following platforms:
 
Lateral Flow Diagnostics
 
 
·
RapidSense® point-of-care testing products based on QuantRx core intellectual property related to lateral flow techniques for the consumer and healthcare professional markets. QuantRx is also developing a unique, quantitative, point-of-care optical reader for use with RapidSense to provide economical and efficient results.
 
4

 
PAD/Health and Wellness
 
 
·
PAD products based on QuantRx technology for aiding the treatment of hemorrhoids, minor vaginal infection, urinary incontinence, and other medical needs, including diagnostic sampling products which enable self collection and worldwide transport.
 
Molecular Imaging (through FluoroPharma)
 
 
·
Molecular imaging agents for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and fluorescence imaging, with initial application in cardiovascular disease, addressing significant unmet medical needs by providing clinicians with important tools for early discovery and assessment.
 
Genomic Testing (through our affiliate, Genomics USA)
 
 
·
Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) chips; genome-based diagnostic chips for the laboratory and healthcare professional markets.
 
Diagnostic and therapeutic products constitute the core of the QuantRx short-term product development focus and should provide near-term revenue opportunities beginning in 2009. Molecular imaging agents constitute long-term revenue opportunities either through commercialization or through investment by a strategic partner.
 
These healthcare technologies are in different stages of development ranging from commercialization to proof of concept. The Company plans to bring all products to commercialization when economically feasible with manufacturing control maintained by QuantRx and sales and marketing managed through distributors, OEM, or strategic partners where appropriate. When not economically feasible, the Company will pursue investment from strategic partners. The Company’s goal is to maintain cost and technical leadership through the entire process, when applicable.
 
Product and Product Candidates
 
QuantRx operates under a two-fold product development strategy: (1) Maximization of the value of internally developed products that are market-ready for near-term distribution, and (2) Aggressive development of technology platforms for products that QuantRx believes will address medical diagnostic and treatment issues into the future.
 
In order to capitalize on short-term revenue opportunities, QuantRx – in introducing its lateral flow diagnostic devices, PAD product lines and other products – looks to align itself with experienced marketing partners that have established distribution channels. QuantRx teams with a manufacturing partner in Asia, as well as niche United States manufacturers, in order to bring products to market in an efficient manner while controlling product quality. 
 
FluoroPharma, Inc., a private company in which QuantRx has a majority ownership interest, is engaged in clinical trials in the development of next-generation imaging agents for PET diagnostics with initial indications for cardiovascular disease. Genomics USA, Inc., another company in which QuantRx has invested, is working toward completion of its HLA – human leukocyte antigen – chip technology for vaccine validity testing and initiation of field tests with the United States Department of Homeland Security.
 
5

 
The QuantRx internal development efforts are in parallel with the Company’s investigation of technologies and products for acquisition or licensing to help the Company expand and enhance its current platforms and succeed in its mission to be a market leader in medical diagnostic platforms and products for professionals, industry and consumers.
 
Lateral Flow Diagnostics
 
QuantRx has developed a patented RapidSense technology – a one-step lateral flow test with unique features such as: positive read indication for drugs-of-abuse, improved sensitivity, and the ability to read both large and small molecules. The rapid, disposable, and point-of-care diagnostic technology is ideal for collection of either urine or oral fluids. QuantRx also has patented an innovative oral fluid collection device specifically designed for its RapidSense technology. This distinctive collection device has applications in the growing market of oral sample collections for issues ranging from drug-abuse testing, gathering biological evidence for criminal investigation, and screening for numerous communicable diseases including HIV/AIDS and other STDs.
 
The QuantRx device incorporates a removable barrier that prevents test chemicals from washing into the oral cavity during the collection process, and allows the controlled start of the test or tests within the device. Because the QuantRx device is designed for either single or multiple tests using the same sample, it is ideal for emerging drugs-of-abuse analyses and testing for a range of communicable diseases. The patented technology has a feature that provides a more secure "chain of custody" system, helping to ensure the identity and integrity of a specimen from collection through the reporting of test results.
 
In late 2008, the Company commenced joint development of a unique, quantitative, point-of-care optical reader to be used with its RapidSense technology. This technology, when coupled with RapidSense, would allow for the transfer of key laboratory tests to be performed at the point-of-care and would provide economical and efficient laboratory quality results.
 
In October 2007, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) granted QuantRx 510(k) clearance on its Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) lateral flow immunoassay test for FSH at 10ng/ml. This female fertility test is a one-step lateral flow device that determines ovarian reserve indirectly by measuring FSH in first morning urine. The Company has licensed this technology for the OTC market and anticipates the commencement of royalties in the second quarter of 2009. The Company is currently exploring the feasibility of developing a male fertility test.
 
In 2008, QuantRx filed four 510(k) applications with the FDA for its RapidSense urine based drugs-of-abuse test product line and to date, has received clearance on three of these applications. QuantRx has numerous additional RapidSense-based products in the 510(k) pipeline, and anticipates additional 510(k) applications as funding provides. With the validation of the technology, QuantRx is exploring the economic viability of developing additional tests for drugs-of-abuse, as well as tests for infectious disease and cardiac markers.  The clearance on urine-based tests also sets the stage for development of saliva based tests.
 
The technology has numerous potential applications. For this reason, QuantRx is pursuing collaborative research and development and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) relationships with companies and organizations interested in exploring new and existing analytes to drive the development of new products for the diagnostic marketplace to advance healthcare worldwide.
 
6

 
In the fourth quarter of 2007, QuantRx introduced its QuikSense® drugs-of-abuse product line in the United States and European markets. This OEM product line was intended to develop distribution channels to stage the introduction of its RapidSense line. The Company did not have the resources to penetrate the market with the generic QuikSense product line and are now focusing on introducing products based on QuantRx’s unique technology through strategic partners and third party distributors.  QuantRx is also developing rapid test POC products in oral care for ALT BioScience. This development agreement grants certain rights related to manufacturing upon successful development and commercialization of the products, which is expected to commence in late 2009.
 
PADs for Diagnosis and Treatment
 
The miniform PAD is a QuantRx patented technology that provides the basis for a line of products that address an array of consumer health issues including: temporary relief of hemorrhoid and minor vaginal infection itch and discomfort, feminine urinary incontinence, drug delivery, and medical sample collection and transport for diagnostic testing.
 
The QuantRx PAD products for the consumer markets are FDA Class I OTC devices, and are easy to use, non-invasive, fully biodegradable, highly absorbent pads. Additionally, the technology allows for the PAD to be used as a sample collection device for diagnostic purposes, or to provide local or systemic therapy.
 
PADKit®
 
The PADKit integrates the miniform technology with QuantRx’s diagnostic expertise. The PADKit contains a miniform used as a collection device to collect a sample for diagnostic evaluation. Vaginally, the miniform collects blood along with numerous cells, vaginal mucous and discharge flushed out by the menstrual flow or during normal daily exfoliation.  The PADKit is designed to provide the preferred sample collection system population scale testing for indications such as HPV, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), and general health screening, where healthcare professionals are not readily accessible.
 
Although significant improvements have been made in the area of Pap test sample reading and sample preparation, clinical indications support broad testing for HPV will have a greater impact in lowering the incidence of cervical cancer.  The Company believes the PADKit will provide a superior and more consistent sample, as well as a simpler, more comfortable and convenient procedure for HPV testing.  The Company further hopes to demonstrate viability of the PADKit as the basis of various other diagnostic and screening tests.  The Company has formed a strategic alliance with CytoCore, Inc. to target the Pap testing market using this technology.
 
The Company has been issued several patents for the method and apparatus for collecting vaginal fluid and exfoliated vaginal cells for diagnostic purposes, collection of a sample for general diagnostic screening, and the collection of an anal sample for prostate and other diagnostic purposes.  Several clinical studies have been conducted on the PADKit, which have provided data needed to show the degree to which the sample collected can be used to replace other accepted samples.  QuantRx plans to proceed with further clinical trials and submission to the FDA for marketing approval of the PADKit, together with an appropriate strategic partner, and will continue to pursue additional patent protection.
 
Unique® Miniforms
 
The Company's Unique miniform is a safe, convenient, and flushable technology for the underserved OTC hemorrhoid and feminine urinary incontinence markets.  The disposable miniform pads contain no adhesives and require no insertion, and it is small enough to fit in the palm of a hand.
 
7

 
The Unique miniform is available as a treated pad for the temporary relief of the itch and discomfort associated with hemorrhoids and minor vaginal infection, and as an untreated pad, for the daily protection of light urinary or anal leakage.
 
While QuantRx initiated a limited web-based domestic roll-out of the Unique miniform in late 2007, it is in search of a strategic partnership(s) to expand the retail availability of the product across the United States and internationally.
 
QuantRx has significant experience manufacturing its miniform and a clear understanding of its costs.  The Company currently has contracted with a firm based in Taiwan to manufacture its pads.  The miniform technology is protected by numerous patents covering various applications, the manufacturing process, and certain materials.
 
Molecular Diagnostic Imaging
 
The Company, through FluoroPharma, is developing proprietary diagnostic imaging products, with initial focus on the development of novel PET imaging agents for efficient detection and assessment of acute and chronic forms of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). To date, the technology has been applied to the development of three cardiovascular imaging agents – CardioPET, BFPET, and VasoPET. The agents rapidly target either the myocardial cells within the heart or the vulnerable plaque within the coronary arteries and, combined with PET scanning, provide a non-invasive, highly specific, and efficient assessment of heart metabolism and physiology. Future applications exist in the broader cardiovascular, oncology, and neurology arenas.
 
CardioPET, FluoroPharma’s lead product, is a novel metabolic agent in development for the following intended uses: (a) detection of ischemic and infarcted tissue in patients with suspected or proven forms of acute and chronic CAD, particularly in those patients that cannot undergo stress-testing; and, (b) Cardiac Viability Assessment (CVA), for the prediction of functional improvement prior to, or following, revascularization in patients with acute CAD, including myocardial infarction.
 
CardioPET represents a potentially highly sensitive means of detecting ischemia at rest, because it can detect subtle metabolic insufficiency in myocardium.  Thus, a primary application of CardioPET is its use in the assessment of patients with acute and chronic CAD that cannot undergo stress-testing.
 
CardioPET may also be ideal as the metabolic component in CVA due to its ability to specifically identify damaged but viable myocardial tissue.  In contrast to non-viable scar tissue, viable myocardial tissue can undergo revascularization, which has been documented to improve left ventricular function and increase survival.
 
CardioPET will address two separate populations: (1) the estimated 1.75 million patients with chronic forms of CAD in the United States that undergo pharmacologic stress-testing due to stress-test contraindication; and, (2) the 350,000 patients with presumptive hibernating or stunned myocardium.  For at-rest assessment of the former population, we believe CardioPET may be readily adopted by the cardiology community for the assessment of this patient pool. For CVA testing, we believe that CardioPET’s “first mover” advantage, when combined with the favorable technical parameters relative to currently available glucose-based agents such as fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), should result in favorable market adoption.  Another potential application for CardioPET is as a substitute for regular stress testing, as physicians see the benefit of fewer total scans and potentially faster diagnoses.

Following the filing of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the FDA, a Phase I clinical trial for CardioPET was successfully completed in the first quarter of 2008. The Phase I trial was a single center, open label study, designed to evaluate safety, distribution, and dosimetry of CardioPET as a PET tracer for myocardial imaging in healthy subjects and in patients with CAD. The Company commenced a limited Phase II study in early 2008 focused on evaluation of cardiac ischemia in subjects with chronic and acute forms of CAD.
 
BFPET is a blood flow imaging device being developed for use as a myocardial perfusion agent in conjunction with stress-testing for the detection of ischemic and infarcted myocardial tissue in patients with suspected or proven chronic CAD.
 
BFPET has been designed to enter the myocardial cells of the heart muscle in direct proportion to blood flow and membrane potential—the two most important physiological indicators of adequate blood supply to the heart. BFPET effectively differentiates between those cells of the myocardium that are ischemic (reversibly damaged), infarcted (irreversibly damaged), and those that are healthy. Because ischemic and infarcted cells take up significantly less BFPET than normal healthy myocardial cells, the signal emitted by the tracer attached to BFPET is inversely proportional to the extent of myocardial injury, the result of which can be visualized with PET imaging technologies.
 
Currently, it is estimated that approximately 80% of the 7 million patients with suspected acute and chronic forms of CAD in the United States are evaluated using the combination of blood flow imaging agents (blood flow agents) and stress-testing. An additional 350,000 patients undergo CVA in which a blood flow agent, such as BFPET, is used in combination with a metabolic imaging agent such as FDG or the Company’s CardioPET. We believe that BFPET may represent the first commercially feasible cardiovascular blood flow agent for the PET market.
 
Following the filing of an IND application with the FDA, a Phase I clinical trial for BFPET begun in the first quarter of 2008, was successfully completed in the third quarter of 2008. The Phase I trial was designed to evaluate safety, distribution and dosimetry of BFPET in 12 healthy subjects following a single dose injection at rest.
 
VasoPET is a novel imaging agent for the detection of inflamed and/or coronary artery plaque formation in patients with CAD. VasoPET, if successful and approved, could represent the first cardiovascular PET product to reliably differentiate between vulnerable and stable coronary artery plaque.
 
Coronary artery plaques grow over time and progressively narrow the lumen of the coronary artery until blood flow to the heart diminishes to a critical level.  The rupture of atherosclerotic plaque and the subsequent formation of clots overlying the plaque are currently recognized as the primary mechanisms of myocardial and cerebral infarctions. Therefore, the detection of vulnerable plaque in atherosclerotic lesions is a highly desirable goal and to this date remains both a significant clinical objective and large unaddressed market opportunity.
 
VasoPET is positioned to capture a small percentage of the entire atherosclerosis scanning market, which represents more than 50 million Americans. Preliminary estimates for the VasoPET market are a direct function of the more than 100,000 patients that undergo carotid artery procedures annually. There is a significant need to follow up after treatment to track the success of these procedures. We conservatively estimate that VasoPET will gradually become the standard follow up for carotid artery procedures and that 75% of patients will be scanned with VasoPET one year post-surgery.
 
9

 
FluoroPharma has completed the studies necessary for the filing of an IND for the atherosclerotic plaque imaging agent, VasoPET. Single-dose preclinical toxicology studies revealed no untoward affects of the compound when it was administered in doses up to one million times the anticipated clinical dose. The Company has submitted the IND application for BFPET, and following institutional review board (IRB) approval of the proposed studies, commenced Phase I clinical trials to evaluate safety and dosimetry in healthy subjects in the first quarter of 2008.
 
Each of these products will require significant clinical validation and a lengthy FDA approval process.  While the approval process is not as long for these products as for a true drug, the process will entail several years and a large number of patients. We anticipate that it will be several years before our first New Drug Application (NDA) will be filed with the FDA. The development to commercialization will require significant resources, and the Company is exploring alternative funding options, such as the possibility of investment by third-party investors directly into FluoroPharma.
 
SNPchip Genome-based Diagnostic Microarray Chips
 
Genomics USA (GUSA), an affiliate of which QuantRx owns approximately 20% on a fully diluted basis, has developed a proprietary, low cost and accurate microarray technology to support large-scale personalized medicine.  The first GUSA product, in late development, is “The HLA-Chip”, a low cost microarray with customized analytical software for high throughput clinical genetics and public health testing. The HLA-Chip is being developed to become the replacement for all DNA based Human Lymphocyte Antigen (HLA) testing in solid organ and stem cell transplantation.
 
The test array resides on a one-square-centimeter silicon chip that contains thousands of DNA probes that identify specific human gene sequences of diagnostic interest. The current competitive technologies require dispensing of a 10-fold excess of DNA, over that required to actually cover the microarray surface. In GUSA’s technology, the adsorptive self assembly is nearly quantitative, requiring no more that a one fold excess of applied material.
 
Since the ability of an individual to respond to a particular drug or vaccine is essentially determined by his/her immune response - determined by the HLA type- a key application for this HLA-based technology will be related to vaccine development and personalized vaccine delivery; assuring a vaccine’s effectiveness for a particular individual. Other uses for a defined HLA type will include tissue transplantation, population scale testing for viral diseases, personalized treatment of microbial infection, and personalized treatment for autoimmune diseases such as arthritis and multiple sclerosis.
 
The biophysical properties of these "self-assembling" DNA microarrays allow SNP-based hybridizations simply and directly, without the need to perform single-base extension or any other secondary biochemical treatment. This simplification reduces the cost of the product, increases signal quality, and allows the product to be used by non-experts, especially in field-testing or small-clinic environments.
 
Follow-on products in the personalized medicine market will service chemical therapeutics, especially those applications in which personal genetic variation at a number of gene sites can cooperate to alter treatment responsiveness for conditions such as obesity, depression, cardiovascular risk, and others. Properly validated, awareness of a patient’s HLA type will be as vital to medical practice as knowledge of one’s blood type, and testing and typing of an infant’s HLA at birth will become common practice.
 
10

 
Development of this critical HLA determinate test has been primarily funded by a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) sponsored Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant of approximately $3 million, with the focus being to provide the military with information necessary to determine who would benefit from various vaccines in the event of a biowarfare release. A prototype of this test is anticipated in the fourth quarter of 2009.
 
Competition
 
Our industry is highly competitive and characterized by rapid and significant technological change. Significant competitive factors in our industry include, among others, product efficacy and safety; the timing and scope of regulatory approvals; the government reimbursement rates for and the average selling price of products; the availability of raw materials and qualified manufacturing capacity; manufacturing costs; intellectual property and patent rights and their protection; and sales, marketing and distribution capabilities.
 
We face, and will continue to face, competition from organizations such as pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as academic and research institutions. Some of these organizations, including Inverness Medical Innovations, Inc., Biosite, Inc., Quidel Corporation, and Meridian Bioscience, Inc., are pursuing products based on technologies similar to our technologies. These organizations have developed and are currently marketing products, and are pursuing other technological approaches designed to produce products that compete with our product candidates.
 
Any product candidates that we successfully develop, which are approved for sale by the FDA or similar international regulatory authorities in other countries, may compete with competitive products currently being used or that may become available in the future. Many of our competitors have substantially greater capital resources than we have, and greater capabilities and resources for research, conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials, regulatory affairs, manufacturing, marketing and sales. As a result, we may face competitive disadvantages relative to these organizations should they develop or commercialize a competitive product.
 
Raw Materials and Manufacturing
 
The Company has limited manufacturing capacity for research and development projects and contracts the manufacturing of all of its products to third-party manufacturers in and outside the United States. All manufactured products are produced under standard operating procedures developed and controlled by the Company’s quality system, which specifies approved raw materials, vendors, and manufacturing methodology.
 
Intellectual Property Rights and Patents
 
The Company's technology portfolio, with more than three dozen patents, patents pending and licensed patents, includes: (1) RapidSense point-of-care diagnostic products based on QuantRx core intellectual property related to lateral flow techniques for the consumer and healthcare professional markets; (2) PAD technology for diagnosis and treatment of women's health concerns and other medical needs; (3) through FluoroPharma, molecular imaging agents for positron emission tomography (PET) and fluorescence imaging, with initial application in cardiovascular disease, addressing significant unmet medical needs by providing clinicians with important tools for early discovery and assessment; and (4) through our affiliate, GUSA, genome-based diagnostic chips for the laboratory and healthcare professional markets.
 
Patents and other proprietary rights are an integral part of our business. It is our policy to seek patent protection for our inventions and also to rely upon trade secrets and continuing technological innovations and licensing opportunities to develop and maintain our competitive position.
 
11

 
However, the patent positions of companies like ours involve complex legal and factual questions and, therefore, their enforceability cannot be predicted with any certainty. Our issued patents, those licensed to us, and those that may be issued to us in the future may be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, and the rights granted thereunder may not provide us with proprietary protection or competitive advantages against competitors with similar technology. Furthermore, our competitors may independently develop similar technologies or duplicate any technology developed by us. Because of the extensive time required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be approved for sale and commercialized, our relevant patent rights may expire or remain in force for only a short period following commercialization. Expiration of patents we own or license could adversely affect our ability to protect future product development and, consequently, our operating results and financial position.
 
QuantRx and its subsidiary have 14 patents issued, 11 patents pending, and 13 licensed patents and patents pending.  Our issued patents expire between 2010 and 2027; however, QuantRx may obtain continuations which would extend the expirations dates of our issued patents.

Licensing, Distribution and Development Agreements
 
In 2007 QuantRx entered into two development agreements to develop rapid test point-of-care products in oral care for ALT BioScience (ALT), and an at-home diagnostic test jointly with Church & Dwight Co., Inc.
 
The ALT agreement, and subsequent renewals, commenced March 2007 and stipulated an up front fee, recognized over the initial five month term, and monthly fees. Currently, the agreement is on a month-to-month basis, subject to termination with 45 days notice. The agreement grants QuantRx certain manufacturing rights for the developed products, which shall be negotiated in good faith in a separate manufacturing agreement upon the completion of design and verification testing. These manufacturing rights will survive any potential termination of the development agreement.
 
The Church & Dwight agreement was accounted for using the Performance Method – Expected Revenue. The agreement included an up front payment which was recognized fully in 2007, and stipulated milestone based payments, which were recognized in 2007 and 2008. On August 14, 2008, QuantRx entered into a Technology License Agreement with Church & Dwight Co., Inc.  Under the terms of the agreement, Church & Dwight acquired exclusive world-wide rights to use certain QuantRx technology related to the jointly developed test. Under the ten-year agreement, QuantRx will receive royalties on net sales of the product beginning in 2009.

On May 19, 2008, QuantRx and CytoCore, Inc. entered into a worldwide distribution and supply agreement for specified PAD technology of QuantRx. The agreement specifies monthly license fees during CytoCore’s expected development period and additional milestone payments based upon CytoCore’s achievement of certain development and sales milestones.  The expected development period of the agreement is estimated as 18 months.
 
The Company had a licensing agreement with Branan Medical Corporation to license its use of the RapidSense technology in connection with the oral screening of drugs-of-abuse. In early 2008, QuantRx and Branan terminated their license agreement.
 
In 2006, QuantRx and Synova Healthcare, Inc. entered into a distribution agreement pursuant to which Synova would act as the exclusive distributor of specified hemorrhoid products of QuantRx in the United States. QuantRx received an up-front, non-refundable payment of $500,000 upon execution of the distribution agreement. In December 2007, in accordance with the terms of the distribution agreement, QuantRx delivered notice of termination of the agreement.
 
QuantRx entered into a patent license agreement with The Procter & Gamble Company effective July 1, 2006. The agreement licenses patent rights and know-how for certain hemorrhoid treatment pads and related coatings. The term of the agreement is five years with a five year automatic renewal option.
 
Regulatory Requirements
 
Our products and manufacturing activities are subject to regulation by the FDA, and by other federal, state, local and foreign regulatory authorities. Pursuant to the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938, commonly known as the FD&C Act, and the regulations promulgated under it, the FDA regulates the research, development, clinical testing, manufacture, packaging, labeling, storage, distribution, promotion, advertising and sampling of medical devices and medical imaging products. Before a new device or pharmaceutical product can be introduced to the market, the manufacturer must generally obtain marketing clearance through a section 510(k) notification, through a Premarket Approval (PMA), or NDA.
 
In the United States, medical devices intended for human use are classified into three categories, Class I, II or III, on the basis of the controls deemed reasonably necessary by the FDA to assure their safety and effectiveness with Class I requiring the fewest controls and Class III the most controls. Class I, unless exempted, and Class II devices are marketed following FDA clearance of a Section 510(k) premarket notification. Since Class III devices (e.g., a device whose failure could cause significant human harm or death) tend to carry the greatest risks, the manufacturer must demonstrate that such a device is safe and effective for its intended use by submitting a PMA application. PMA approval by the FDA is required before a Class III device can be lawfully marketed in the United States. Usually, the PMA process is significantly more time consuming and costly than the 510(k) process.
 
The U.S. regulatory scheme for the development and commercialization of new pharmaceutical products, which includes our targeted molecular imaging agents, can be divided into three distinct phases: an investigational phase including both preclinical and clinical investigations leading up to the submission of an NDA; a period of FDA review culminating in the approval or refusal to approve the NDA; and the post-marketing period.
 
All of our OTC products derived from the Miniform technology, including Unique, are currently classified as Class I – exempt devices, requiring written notification to the FDA before marketing. The Company’s RapidSense product candidates generally require validation and notification to the FDA under Section 510(k) prior to commercialization. The Company does not currently market any product that requires full clinical validation as a Class III product under FDA regulations.
 
13

 
In addition, the FD&C Act requires device manufacturers to obtain a new FDA 510(k) clearance when there is a substantial change or modification in the intended use of a legally marketed device, or a change or modification, including product enhancements, changes to packaging or advertising text and, in some cases, manufacturing changes, to a legally marketed device that could significantly affect its safety or effectiveness. Supplements for approved PMA devices are required for device changes, including some manufacturing changes that affect safety or effectiveness, or disclosure to the consumer, such as labeling. For devices marketed pursuant to 510(k) determinations of substantial equivalence, the manufacturer must obtain FDA clearance of a new 510(k) notification prior to marketing the modified device. For devices marketed with PMA, the manufacturer must obtain FDA approval of a supplement to the PMA prior to marketing the modified device. Such regulatory requirements may require the Company to retain records for up to seven years, and be subject to periodic regulatory review and inspection of all facilities and documents by the FDA.
 
The FD&C Act requires device manufacturers to comply with Good Manufacturing Practices regulations. The regulations require that medical device manufacturers comply with various quality control requirements pertaining to design controls, purchasing contracts, organization and personnel, including device and manufacturing process design, buildings, environmental control, cleaning and sanitation; equipment and calibration of equipment; medical device components; manufacturing specifications and processes; reprocessing of devices; labeling and packaging; in-process and finished device inspection and acceptance; device failure investigations; and record keeping requirements including complaint files and device tracking. Company personnel and non-affiliated contract auditors periodically inspect the contract manufacturers to assure they remain in compliance.
 
The Company’s Portland, Oregon, facility is in compliance with current FDA requirements.
 
Certain of our product candidates will require significant clinical validation prior to obtaining marketing clearance from the FDA. The Company intends to contract with appropriate and experienced CROs (contract research organizations) to prepare for and review the results from clinical field trials. The Company engages certain scientific advisors, consisting of scientific Ph.D.s and M.D.s, who contribute to the scientific and medical validity of its clinical trials when appropriate.
 
Research and Development Activities
 
We spent the following amounts on research and development activities during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007:
 
2008: $2,032,677
 
2007: $2,012,419
 
We expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase due to the initiation of numerous clinical trials and the continued development of our product lines.

Employees
 
As of December 31, 2008, we had 14 full-time employees; 12 of whom were full-time employees of QuantRx and 2 of whom were employees of FluoroPharma, a subsidiary of QuantRx. Our employees are not represented by a labor organization or covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

You should consider carefully the following risks, along with other information contained in this Form 10-K.  The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only ones that may affect us.  Additional risks and uncertainties also may adversely affect our business and operations, including those discussed in Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, results of operations, and financial condition could be adversely affected.
 
Our ability to operate as a going concern is dependent upon raising adequate financing.
 
Management believes that given our current cash position, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are actively pursuing various funding options, including equity offerings, debt financing, strategic corporate alliances, and business combinations, to obtain additional financing to continue the development of our products and bring them to commercial markets. We are actively seeking to raise capital, including through the direct investment in our subsidiary, FluoroPharma, by either strategic partners or third party investors. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital. Should we be unable to raise adequate financing or generate revenue in the future, the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition would be materially and adversely harmed. Moreover, direct investment in FluoroPharma would dilute our ownership percentage.
 
We have a history of incurring net losses and we may never become profitable.
 
For the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $45,109,623. Our losses resulted principally from costs related to our research programs and the development of our product candidates and general and administrative costs relating to our operations. Since the Company presently has limited sources of revenues and is committed to continuing its research and development activities, we may incur substantial and increasing losses in 2009. We cannot assure you that we will ever become profitable.
 
We will need to obtain additional funding to support our operations, and we may not be able to obtain such capital on a timely basis or under commercially reasonable terms, if at all.
 
We expect that our need for additional capital will be substantial and the extent of this need will depend on many factors, some of which are beyond our control, including the successful and continued development of our product candidates; the costs associated with maintaining, protecting and expanding our patent and other intellectual property rights; future payments, if any, received or made under existing or possible future collaborative arrangements; the timing of regulatory approvals needed to market our product candidates; and market acceptance of our products.
 
15

 
It is possible that the Company will not generate positive cash flow from operations for several years. We cannot assure you that funds will be available to us in the future on favorable terms, if at all. If adequate funds are not available to us on terms that we find acceptable, or at all, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate research and development efforts or clinical trials on any or all of our product candidates. We may also be forced to curtail or restructure our operations, obtain funds by entering into arrangements with collaborators on unattractive terms or relinquish rights to certain technologies or product candidates that we would not otherwise relinquish in order to continue independent operations.
 
Our substantial indebtedness could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
 
We now have, and will continue to have in the foreseeable future, a significant amount of debt. Subject to the terms of the agreements and instruments governing our senior secured convertible notes, our ability to incur additional indebtedness is limited. We have been successful in the past in obtaining waivers permitting us to incur additional debt to meet our operating requirements; however, there is no assurance that we will be successful in the future in obtaining these waivers.
 
Additionally, all of our outstanding notes are short-term in nature and we have been successful in obtaining extensions for them.  We may not be able to obtain extensions in the future.
 
Certain of our outstanding notes are secured by our intellectual property and our equity holdings. If we are unable to meet the obligations or acquire extensions for these notes, the holders of the notes could exercise their rights with regards to the security interests.
 
Further testing of certain of our product candidates is required and regulatory approval may be delayed or denied, which would limit or prevent us from marketing our product candidates and significantly impair our ability to generate revenues.
 
Human pharmaceutical products are subject to rigorous preclinical testing and clinical trials and other approval procedures mandated by the FDA and foreign regulatory authorities. Various federal and foreign statutes and regulations also govern or influence the manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, record keeping and marketing of pharmaceutical products. The process of obtaining these approvals and the subsequent compliance with appropriate U.S. and foreign statutes and regulations is time-consuming and requires the expenditure of substantial resources. In addition, these requirements and processes vary widely from country to country.
 
To varying degrees based on the regulatory plan for each product candidate, the effect of government regulation and the need for FDA and other regulatory agency approval will delay commercialization of our product candidates, impose costly procedures upon our activities, and put us at a disadvantage relative to larger companies with which we compete. There can be no assurance that FDA or other regulatory approval for any products developed by us will be granted on a timely basis, or at all. If we discontinue the development of one of our product candidates, our business and stock price may suffer.
 
The Company may face intense competition.
 
The Company is engaged in a segment of the biomedical industry that is highly competitive. If successfully brought into the marketplace, any of the Company’s products will likely compete with several existing products. The Company anticipates that it will face intense and increasing competition in the future as new products enter the market and advanced technologies become available. We cannot assure that existing products or new products developed by competitors will not be more effective, or more effectively marketed and sold than those by the Company. Competitive products may render the Company’s products obsolete or noncompetitive prior to the Company’s recovery of development and commercialization expenses.
 
16

 
Many of the Company’s competitors will also have significantly greater financial, technical and human resources and will likely be better equipped to develop, manufacture and market products. Smaller companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large biotechnology companies. Furthermore, academic institutions, government agencies and other public and private research organizations are becoming increasingly aware of the commercial value of their inventions and are actively seeking to commercialize the technology they have developed. Accordingly, competitors may succeed in commercializing products more rapidly or effectively than the Company, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
There is no assurance that the Company’s products will have market acceptance.
 
The success of the Company will depend in substantial part on the extent to which our products achieve market acceptance. We cannot predict or guarantee that physicians, patients, healthcare insurers or maintenance organizations, or the medical community in general, will accept or utilize any products of the Company.
 
If we fail to establish marketing and sales capabilities or fail to enter into effective sales, marketing and distribution arrangements with third parties, we may not be able to successfully commercialize our products.
 
We are primarily dependent on third parties for the sales, marketing and distribution of our products. We may enter into various agreements providing for the commercialization of our product candidates. We intend to sell our product candidates primarily through third parties and establish relationships with other companies to commercialize them in other countries around the world. We currently have limited internal sales and marketing capabilities, or an infrastructure to support such activities. Therefore, our future profitability will depend in part on our ability to enter into effective marketing agreements. To the extent that we enter into sales, marketing and distribution arrangements with other companies to sell our products in the United States or abroad, our product revenues will depend on their efforts, which may not be successful.
 
The Company’s success will be dependent on licenses and proprietary rights it receives from other parties, and on any patents it may obtain.
 
Our success will depend in large part on the ability of the Company and its licensors to (i) maintain license and patent protection with respect to our products, (ii) defend patents and licenses once obtained, (iii) maintain trade secrets, (iv) operate without infringing upon the patents and proprietary rights of others, and (v) maintain and obtain appropriate licenses to patents or proprietary rights held by third parties if infringement would otherwise occur, both in the United States and in foreign countries. 
 
The patent positions of biomedical companies, including those of the Company, are uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. There is no guarantee that the Company or its licensors have or will develop or obtain the rights to products or processes that are patentable, that patents will issue from any of the pending applications or that claims allowed will be sufficient to protect the technology licensed to the Company. In addition, we cannot be certain that any patents issued to or licensed by the Company will not be challenged, invalidated, infringed or circumvented, or that the rights granted thereunder will provide competitive disadvantages to the Company.
 
17

 
Litigation, which could result in substantial cost, may also be necessary to enforce any patents to which the Company has rights, or to determine the scope, validity and unenforceability of other parties’ proprietary rights, which may affect the rights of the Company. United States patents carry a presumption of validity and generally can be invalidated only through clear and convincing evidence. There can be no assurance that the Company’s patents would be held valid by a court or administrative body or that an alleged infringer would be found to be infringing. The mere uncertainty resulting from the institution and continuation of any technology-related litigation or interference proceeding could have a material adverse effect on the Company pending resolution of the disputed matters.
 
The Company may also rely on unpatented trade secrets and know-how to maintain its competitive position, which it seeks to protect, in part, by confidentiality agreements with employees, consultants and others. There can be no assurance that these agreements will not be breached or terminated, that the Company will have adequate remedies for any breach, or that trade secrets will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by competitors.
 
Protecting our proprietary rights is difficult and costly.
 
The patent positions of biotechnology companies can be highly uncertain and involve complex legal and factual questions. Accordingly, we cannot predict the breadth of claims allowed in these companies’ patents or whether the Company may infringe or be infringing these claims. Patent disputes are common and could preclude the commercialization of our products. Patent litigation is costly in its own right and could subject us to significant liabilities to third parties. In addition, an adverse decision could force us to either obtain third-party licenses at a material cost or cease using the technology or product in dispute.
 
We may be unable to retain skilled personnel and maintain key relationships.
 
The success of our business depends, in large part, on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified management, scientific and other personnel, and on our ability to develop and maintain important relationships with leading research institutions and consultants and advisors. Competition for these types of personnel and relationships is intense from numerous pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities and other research institutions. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to attract and retain such individuals on commercially acceptable terms or at all, and the failure to do so would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
The Company has limited manufacturing capabilities and may not be able to efficiently develop manufacturing capabilities or contract for such services from third parties on commercially acceptable terms.
 
The Company has limited manufacturing capacity. The Company has established relationships with third-party manufacturers for the commercial production of our products. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to maintain relationships with third-party manufacturers on commercially acceptable terms or that third-party manufacturers will be able to manufacture our products on a cost-effective basis in commercial quantities under good manufacturing practices mandated by the FDA.
 
The dependence upon third parties for the manufacture of products may adversely affect future costs and the ability to develop and commercialize our products on a timely and competitive basis. Further, there can be no assurance that manufacturing or quality control problems will not arise in connection with the manufacture of our products or that third party manufacturers will be able to maintain the necessary governmental licenses and approvals to continue manufacturing such products. Any failure to establish relationships with third parties for its manufacturing requirements on commercially acceptable terms would have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
18

 
In the future, we anticipate that we will need to obtain additional or increased product liability insurance coverage and it is uncertain that such increased or additional insurance coverage can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms.
 
The business of the Company will expose it to potential product liability risks that are inherent in the testing, manufacturing and marketing of pharmaceutical products. There can be no assurance that product liability claims will not be asserted against the Company. The Company has obtained insurance coverage; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional product liability insurance on commercially acceptable terms or that the Company will be able to maintain such insurance at a reasonable cost or in sufficient amounts to protect against potential losses. A successful product liability claim or series of claims brought against the Company could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
Insurance coverage is increasingly more difficult to obtain or maintain.
 
Obtaining insurance for our business, property and products is increasingly more costly and narrower in scope, and we may be required to assume more risk in the future. If we are subject to third-party claims or suffer a loss or damage in excess of our insurance coverage, we may be required to share that risk in excess of our insurance limits. Furthermore, any first- or third-party claims made on any of our insurance policies may impact our ability to obtain or maintain insurance coverage at reasonable costs or at all in the future.
 
The market price of our shares, like that of many biotechnology companies, is highly volatile.
 
Market prices for the Company’s common stock and the securities of other medical and biomedical technology companies have been highly volatile and may continue to be highly volatile in the future. Factors such as announcements of technological innovations or new products by the Company or its competitors, government regulatory action, litigation, patent or proprietary rights developments, and market conditions for medical and high technology stocks in general can have a significant impact on any future market for common stock of the Company.
 
Trading of our common stock is limited, which may make it difficult for you to sell your shares at times and prices that you feel are appropriate.
 
Trading of our common stock, which is conducted on the OTC Bulletin Board, has been limited.  This adversely affects the liquidity of our common stock, not only in terms of the number of shares that can be bought and sold at a given price, but also through delays in the timing of transactions and reduction in security analysts and the media’s coverage of us.  This may result in lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise be obtained and could also result in a larger spread between the bid and ask prices for our common stock.  
 
The issuance of shares of our preferred stock may adversely affect our common stock.
 
The board of directors of the Company is authorized to designate one or more series of preferred stock and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, without any action by the stockholders. The designation and issuance of such shares of our preferred stock may adversely affect the common stock, if the rights, preferences and privileges of such preferred stock (i) restrict the declaration or payment of dividends on common stock, (ii) dilute the voting power of common stock, (iii) impair the liquidation rights of the common stock, or (iv) delay or prevent a change in control of the Company from occurring, among other possibilities.
 
19

 
Because we do not expect to pay dividends, you will not realize any income from an investment in our common stock unless and until you sell your shares at a profit.  
 
We have never paid dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying any dividends for the foreseeable future.  You should not rely on an investment in our stock if you require dividend income.  Further, you will only realize income on an investment in our shares in the event you sell or otherwise dispose of your shares at a price higher than the price you paid for your shares.  Such a gain would result only from an increase in the market price of our common stock, which is uncertain and unpredictable.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.
 
QuantRx Biomedical Corporation was incorporated on December 5, 1986 in the State of Nevada. The Company’s principal business office is located at 100 South Main Street, Suite 300, Doylestown, Pennsylvania. QuantRx also has a research and development facility in Portland, Oregon.
 
QuantRx is a broad-based diagnostics company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative diagnostic products based on its patented technology platforms for the worldwide healthcare industry. The Company’s strategy is to commercialize its products through partners or distributors, contracting the manufacturing to third-party partners while maintaining control over the manufacturing process.
 
The Company's platforms include: (1) POC testing products based on QuantRx core intellectual property related to lateral flow techniques; (2) through FluoroPharma, molecular imaging agents for positron emission tomography (PET); (3) through our affiliate, Genomics USA, Inc., genome-based diagnostic chips; and (4) PAD miniform technology.
 
In April 2007, QuantRx increased its ownership in FluoroPharma, Inc., a development-stage molecular imaging company, to 57.78% of outstanding capital stock, resulting in its consolidation effective April 1, 2007. The investment in FluoroPharma is intended to strategically expand QuantRx’s diagnostic platforms.
 
The following discussion of our financial condition should be read together with our financial statements and related notes included in this annual report on Form 10-K.

Our Consolidated Results of Operations
 
We recognized revenues of $624,495 and $747,119 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Total costs and operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 were $6,324,179 and $6,735,285, respectively. Highlights of the major components of our results of operations are detailed and discussed below:
 
   
Year Ended December 31, 2008
   
Year Ended December 31, 2007
 
Revenues
  $ 624,495     $ 747,119  
General and Administrative
  $ 2,894,432     $ 2,377,866  
Professional Fees
  $ 957,135     $ 1,881,179  
Research and Development
  $ 2,032,677     $ 2,012,419  
Other Expense, net
  $ 2,229,050     $ 474,227  
 
Revenues decreased by $122,624 from 2007 to 2008 primarily due to the recognition in 2007 of $459,901 in deferred revenue from a cancelled distribution agreement.  This decrease was substantially offset by increased revenues from short-term development agreements of $193,736 and increased licensing revenue of $37,307.
 
General and administrative expenses include, but are not limited to, payroll and related expenses, rent, office and insurance expenses. The increase of $516,566 in general and administrative expenses from 2007 to 2008 is primarily due to increased personnel expenses of $661,201, primarily related to stock based compensation. This increase was partially offset by the absence of minimum royalty payments and a production line up-front modification fee in 2007 aggregating $100,000.
 
Professional fees include the costs of legal, consulting and auditing services provided to us. The decrease of $924,044 in professional fees from 2007 to 2008 is primarily attributable to efforts to contain costs, resulting in $538,729 in decreased expenses associated with financial consultants, $185,392 in decreased legal fees, $126,318 in decreased expenses related to investor and public relations consultants, and $51,218 in decreased strategic planning expenses. While we are unable to estimate future costs of this nature with any degree of certainty, we intend to retain a limited number of skilled management to reduce the need for extensive assistance from consultants and accounting professionals.
 
Research and development expense primarily reflects technical consulting and expenses incurred in connection with the development of our product candidates. The increase of $20,258 from 2007 to 2008 in research and development expenses is primarily due to increased personnel and consulting expenses of $215,486 and patent licensing fees of $85,704.  These increases were substantially offset by decreased clinical trial and related expenses of $104,432, product development costs of $89,754, and materials and supplies of $50,684.
 
Net loss for 2008 was $7,721,401, an increase of $1,677,064 from the $6,044,337 net loss reported for 2007. The increase in net loss was primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense, including amortization of debt discount and deferred finance costs of $1,724,373 and a $439,445 loss on extinguishment of convertible notes in 2008, offset by the absence of bad debt expense of $214,000 in 2008, as well as all the factors previously discussed.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
At December 31, 2008, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $66,226 as compared to $213,332 at December 31, 2007.
 
During the year ended December 31, 2008, we used $2,801,308 of cash for operating activities, as compared to $4,994,726 during the year ended December 31, 2007. The decreased use of cash for operating activities was a result of increased aging of accounts payable, together with reduced expenses, primarily related to professional fees. The Company has also met certain operating expenses with the issuance of common stock, options or warrants, when possible.
 
Cash used in investing activities during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $178,307 compared to $978,458 during the year ended December 31, 2007. The cash requirement for the investment in FluoroPharma made in 2007 was $1,277,178, which included $250,000 initially invested in the form of a note which was subsequently converted at the acquisition date. Additionally, an investment of $200,000 during 2007 was made in a development stage company to strategically expand our diagnostic platforms by adding new product candidates to our pipeline.
 
Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $2,832,509 as compared to $4,929,604 during the year ended December 31, 2007. Cash provided through the exercise of warrants was $169,189 during 2008 and $567,777 during 2007. Cash provided through the issuance of convertible promissory notes was $1,292,500 during 2008 and $1,000,000 during 2007. QuantRx also issued $550,000 in senior secured promissory notes and $1,042,500 in unsecured promissory notes in 2008.  In 2007, the issuance of shares of common stock provided cash of $3,374,996. In 2008, QuantRx repaid $200,000 in senior secured notes.
 
The Company has not generated sufficient revenues from operations to meet its operating expenses. For this reason, the Company has historically financed its operations primarily through issuances of equity and the proceeds of debt instruments. In the past, the Company has also provided for its cash needs by issuing common stock, options and warrants for certain operating costs, including consulting and professional fees.
 
Management believes that given our current cash position, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are actively pursuing various funding options, including equity offerings, debt financing, strategic corporate alliances, and business combinations, to obtain additional financing to continue the development of our products and bring them to commercial markets. We are actively seeking to raise capital, including through the direct investment in our subsidiary, FluoroPharma, by either strategic partners or third party investors. The Company is currently negotiating on several fronts; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital. Additionally, certain of our debt instruments contain certain covenants which could limit our ability to issue additional debt. Should we be unable to acquire necessary waivers from certain of our existing note holders or raise adequate financing or generate sufficient revenue in the future, the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition would be materially and adversely harmed.
 
The Company believes that the successful growth and operation of its business is dependent upon its ability to do any or all of the following:
 
 
·
obtain adequate sources of debt or equity financing to pay operating expenses and fund long-term business operations;
 
25

 
 
·
manage or control working capital requirements by reducing operating expenses;
 
 
·
develop new and enhance existing relationships with product distributors and other points of distribution for the Company’s products; and
 
 
·
seek potential mergers or acquisitions that could be expected to generate positive cash flow for the Company upon consummation, assuming appropriate financing structures are available on acceptable terms in order to effect such acquisitions.
 
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its long-term plans as set forth above, or that such plans, if consummated, will enable the Company to obtain profitable operations or continue in the long-term as a going concern.
 
The following table summarizes our material contractual obligations relating to operating lease obligations at December 31, 2008 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future periods. At December 31, 2008, there were no material capital expenditure commitments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have not entered into any transactions with unconsolidated entities in which we have financial guarantees, subordinated retained interests, derivative instruments or other contingent arrangements that expose us to material continuing risks, contingent liabilities or any other obligations under a variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides us with financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery has occurred, provided the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a fee is based upon a variable such as acceptance by the customer, the Company accounts for the fee as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, the Company defers revenue and recognizes it when it becomes due and payable. Up-front engagement fees are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, although the fee is due and payable at the time the agreement is signed or upon annual renewal. Payments related to substantive, performance-based milestones in an agreement are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of the milestones as specified in the underlying agreement when they represent the culmination of the earnings process. The Company assesses the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the current financial condition of the customer. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until the time collection becomes reasonably assured. Significant management judgment and estimates must be made and used in connection with the revenue recognized in any accounting period. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our revenue for any period if our management made different judgments or utilized different estimates.
 
26

 
The Company recognizes revenue from nonrefundable minimum royalty agreements from distributors or resellers upon delivery of product to the distributor or reseller, provided no significant obligations remain outstanding, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection is probable. Once minimum royalties have been received, additional royalties are recognized as revenue when earned based on the distributor’s contractual reporting obligations. QuantRx is able to recognize minimum royalty payments on an accrual basis, as they are specified in the contract. However, since the Company cannot forecast product sales by licensees, royalty payments that are based on product sales by the licensees are not determinable until the licensee has completed their computation of the royalties due and/or remitted their cash payment to us. Should information on licensee product sales become available so as to enable QuantRx to recognize royalty revenue on an accrual basis, materially different revenues and results of operations could occur.
 
Our strategy includes entering into collaborative agreements with strategic partners for the development, commercialization and distribution of our product candidates. Such collaboration agreements may have multiple deliverables. We evaluate multiple deliverable arrangements pursuant to Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Pursuant to EITF 00-21, in arrangements with multiple deliverables where we have continuing performance obligations, contract, milestone and license fees are recognized as revenue together with any up-front payments over the term of the arrangement as performance obligations are completed, unless the deliverable has stand-alone value and there is objective, reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered element in the arrangement. In the case of an arrangement where it is determined there is a single unit of accounting, all cash flows from the arrangement are considered in the determination of all revenue to be recognized. Cash received in advance of revenue recognition is recorded as deferred revenue.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The accounting policies discussed below are considered by management to be the most important to the Company’s financial condition and results of operations, and require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments due to the inherent uncertainty associated with these matters. All significant estimates and assumptions are developed based on the best information available to us at the time made and are regularly reviewed and adjusted when necessary. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable under the circumstances; however, actual results may vary from these estimates and assumptions. Additional information on significant accounting principles is provided in Note 2 of the attached financial statements.
 
Impairment of Assets
 
We assess the impairment of long-lived assets, including our other intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” The determination of related estimated useful lives and whether or not these assets are impaired involves significant judgments, related primarily to the future profitability and/or future value of the assets. Changes in our strategic plan and/or market conditions could significantly impact these judgments and could require adjustments to recorded asset balances. We hold investments in companies having operations or technologies in areas which are within or adjacent to our strategic focus when acquired, all of which are privately held and whose values are difficult to determine. We record an investment impairment charge if we believe an investment has experienced a decline in value that is other than temporary. Future changes in our strategic direction, adverse changes in market conditions or poor operating results of underlying investments could result in losses or an inability to recover the carrying value of the investments that may not be reflected in an investment’s current carrying value, thereby possibly requiring an impairment charge in the future.
 
27

 
We performed annual impairment tests of our equity method goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS No. 142, equity method goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment tests in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock,” under which QuantRx would have recognized an impairment loss had there been a loss in the value of the equity method goodwill which was deemed to be other than a temporary decline.
 
In determining fair value of assets, QuantRx bases estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual fair value may differ from management estimates resulting in potential impairments causing material changes to certain assets and results of operations.
 
Share-based Payments
 
We grant options to purchase our common stock to our employees and directors under our stock option plan subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments.” Effective January 1, 2005, we use the fair value method to apply the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) with a modified prospective application which provides for certain changes to the method for valuing share-based compensation. The valuation provisions of SFAS No. 123(R) apply to new awards and to awards that are outstanding on the effective date and subsequently modified or cancelled. Under the modified prospective application, prior periods are not revised for comparative purposes.
 
Upon adoption of SFAS No. 123(R), we began estimating the value of stock option awards on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes pricing model (Black-Scholes model). The determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors, and risk-free interest rate. If factors change and we employ different assumptions in the application of SFAS No. 123(R) in future periods, the compensation expense that we record under SFAS No. 123(R) may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period.
 
The Company accounts for share-based payments granted to non-employees in accordance with EITF No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” Under EITF 96-18, the Company determines the fair value of the stock-based payment as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.
 
28

 
In the case of modifications, the Black-Scholes model is used to value the warrant on the modification date by applying the revised assumptions. The difference between the fair value of the warrants prior to the modification and after the modification on the date of modification determines the incremental value.  In 2008, QuantRx modified warrants in connection with the issuance of certain notes and note extensions. These modified warrants were originally issued in connection with previous private placement investments. In the case of equity issuances, these warrants were originally accounted for as additional paid-in-capital.  In the case of debt issuances, the warrants were accounted for as original issuance discount based on their relative fair values. When modified in connection with a note issuance, QuantRx recognizes the incremental value as a part of the debt discount calculation, using its relative fair value in accordance with EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.”  When modified in connection with note extensions, the Company recognized the incremental value as prepaid interest, which is expensed over the term of the extension.
 
Estimates of share-based compensation expenses are significant to our financial statements, but these expenses are based on option valuation models and will never result in the payment of cash by us.
 
Deferred Taxes
 
We recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities, which requires management to perform estimates of future transactions and their respective valuations. We review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefit of the net deferred tax asset. At December 31, 2008 and 2007, a valuation allowance has been established. The likelihood of a material change in the valuation allowance depends on our ability to generate sufficient future taxable income. In the future, if management determines that the likelihood exists to utilize the Company’s deferred tax assets, a reduction of the valuation allowance could materially increase the Company’s net deferred tax asset.

ITEM 9A(T). CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in such rules) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms.  Additionally, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. 
 
Our management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
 
Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fourth quarter of the year ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company continues to review its disclosure controls and procedures, including its internal controls over financial reporting, and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that the Company’s systems evolve with its business.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and includes those policies and procedures that:
   
 
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company;
     
 
·
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and
     
 
·
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on its financial statements.
 
Because of its inherent limitations, a system of internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Further, because of changes in conditions, effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting may vary over time. Our system contains self-monitoring mechanisms, and actions are taken to correct deficiencies as they are identified.
 
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the system of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded that our system of internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2008.
 
This report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management’s report in this annual report.

Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires the Company’s Directors and Officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities (“Section 16 Persons”), to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company. Section 16 Persons are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based on the Company’s review of the forms it has received, on other reports filed by Section 16 Persons with the SEC and on the Company’s records, the Company believes that during 2008, (1) the Form 4 filed on behalf of Arthur H. Hayes, Jr. to report the grant of 6,250 common stock options was not filed timely.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of QuantRx Biomedical Corporation as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of QuantRx Biomedical Corporation as of December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the results of its operations, stockholders equity and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company has suffered recurring losses from operations and has a net capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 2.  The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

QUANTRX BIOMEDICAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.  DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
 
QuantRx Biomedical Corporation was incorporated on December 5, 1986 in the State of Nevada. The Company’s principal business office is located at 100 South Main Street, Suite 300, Doylestown, Pennsylvania. QuantRx also has a research and development facility in Portland, Oregon.
 
QuantRx is a broad-based diagnostics company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative diagnostic products based on its patented technology platforms for the worldwide healthcare industry. The Company’s strategy is to commercialize its products through partners or distributors, contracting the manufacturing to third party partners while maintaining control over the manufacturing process.
 
In April 2007, QuantRx increased its ownership in FluoroPharma, Inc., a development-stage molecular imaging company, to 57.78% of outstanding capital stock, resulting in its consolidation effective April 1, 2007. When used in these notes, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” or “us” mean QuantRx Biomedical Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiary.
 
2.  MANAGEMENT STATEMENT REGARDING GOING CONCERN
 
The Company has not generated sufficient revenues from operations to meet its operating expenses. For this reason, the Company has historically financed its operations primarily through issuances of equity and the proceeds of debt instruments. In the past, the Company has also provided for its cash needs by issuing common stock, options and warrants for certain operating costs, including consulting and professional fees.
 
Management believes that given our current cash position, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are actively pursuing various funding options, including equity offerings, debt financing, strategic corporate alliances, and business combinations, to obtain additional financing to continue the development of our products and bring them to commercial markets. We are actively seeking to raise capital, including through the direct investment in our subsidiary, FluoroPharma, by either strategic partners or third party investors. The Company is currently negotiating on several fronts; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital. Additionally, certain of our debt instruments contain certain covenants which could limit our ability to issue additional debt. Should we be unable to acquire necessary waivers from certain of our existing note holders or raise adequate financing or generate sufficient revenue in the future, the Company’s business, results of operations, liquidity and financial condition would be materially and adversely harmed.
 
F-8

 
The Company believes that the successful growth and operation of its business is dependent upon its ability to do any or all of the following:
 
·  
obtain adequate sources of debt or equity financing to pay operating expenses and fund long-term business operations;
 
·  
manage or control working capital requirements by reducing operating expenses;
 
·  
develop new and enhance existing relationships with product distributors and other points of distribution for the Company’s products; and
 
·  
seek potential mergers or acquisitions that could be expected to generate positive cash flow for the Company upon consummation, assuming appropriate financing structures are available on acceptable terms in order to effect such acquisitions.
 
There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in achieving its long-term plans as set forth above, or that such plans, if consummated, will enable the Company to obtain profitable operations or continue in the long-term as a going concern.
 
3.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
This summary of significant accounting policies of QuantRx Biomedical Corporation is presented to assist in understanding the Company’s financial statements. The financial statements and notes are representations of the Company’s management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and have been consistently applied in the preparation of the financial statements.
 
Accounting for Share-Based Payments
 
QuantRx follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payments.” SFAS No. 123(R) establishes the accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges equity securities for services and requires companies to expense the estimated fair value of these awards over the requisite service period. QuantRx uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model in determining fair value. Accordingly, compensation cost has been recognized using the fair value method and expected term accrual requirements as prescribed in SFAS No. 123(R), which resulted in employee stock-based compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 of $947,322 and $235,378, respectively (including $274,299 and $15,814 relating to subsidiary options in 2008 and 2007).
 
The Company accounts for share-based payments granted to non-employees in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services.” Under EITF 96-18, the Company determines the fair value of the stock-based payment as either the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable.  If the fair value of the equity instruments issued is used, it is measured using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the earlier of either (1) the date at which a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instruments is reached, or (2) the date at which the counterparty’s performance is complete.
 
In the case of modifications, the Black-Scholes model is used to value the warrant on the modification date by applying the revised assumptions. The difference between the fair value of the warrants prior to the modification and after the modification on the date of modification determines the incremental value.  In 2008, QuantRx modified warrants in connection with the issuance of certain notes and note extensions. These modified warrants were originally issued in connection with previous private placement investments. In the case of equity issuances, these warrants were originally accounted for as additional paid-in-capital.  In the case of debt issuances, the warrants were accounted for as original issuance discount based on their relative fair values. When modified in connection with a note issuance, QuantRx recognizes the incremental value as a part of the debt discount calculation, using its relative fair value in accordance with EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments.”  When modified in connection with note extensions, the Company recognized the incremental value as prepaid interest, which is expensed over the term of the extension.
 
F-9

 
The fair value of each share based payment is estimated on the measurment date using the Black-Scholes model with the following assumptions, which are determined at the beginning of each year and utilized in all calculations for that year:
 
   
2008
   
2007
 
Risk-free interest rate
    5.35 %     5.75 %
Expected volatility
    117 %     135 %
Dividend yield
    0 %     0 %
 
  Risk-Free Interest Rate. The interest rate used is based on the yield of a U.S. Treasury security as of the beginning of the year.
 
Expected Volatility. The Company calculates the expected volatility based on historical volatility of monthly stock prices over a three year period.
 
Dividend Yield. The Company has never paid cash dividends, and does not currently intend to pay cash dividends, and thus has assumed a 0% dividend yield.
 
Expected Term. For options, since the Company has no history of employee exercise patterns; therefore, uses the option term as the expected term. For warrants, the Company uses the actual term of the warrant.
 
Pre-Vesting Forfeitures. Estimates of pre-vesting option forfeitures are based on Company experience. The Company will adjust its estimate of forfeitures over the requisite service period based on the extent to which actual forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from such estimates. Changes in estimated forfeitures will be recognized through a cumulative catch-up adjustment in the period of change and will also impact the amount of compensation expense to be recognized in future periods.
 
Accounts and Notes Receivable and Bad Debts
 
QuantRx carries its receivables at net realizable value. Interest on notes receivable is accrued based upon the terms of the note agreement. The Company provides reserves against receivables and related accrued interest for estimated losses that may result from a debtor’s inability to pay. The amount is determined by analyzing known uncollectible accounts, economic conditions, historical losses and customer credit-worthiness. Additionally, all accounts with aged balances greater than one year are fully reserved. Amounts later determined and specifically identified to be uncollectible are charged or written off against the reserve. The allowance for bad debts was $214,000 in 2008 and 2007.
 
F-10

 
Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments and short-term debt instruments with maturities of three months or less from date of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents consisted of money market funds at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
 
Concentration of Risks
 
Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains most of its cash balances in accounts that may exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses to date resulting from this practice.
 
Earnings per Share
 
The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” Net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of outstanding common shares and the dilutive effect of common share equivalents, such as options and warrants to purchase common stock, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes, if applicable, that are outstanding each year. Basic and diluted earnings per share were the same at the reporting dates of the accompanying financial statements, as including common stock equivalents in the calculation of diluted earnings per share would have been antidilutive.
 
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding common stock options of 2,238,000, common stock warrants of 7,926,684, and convertible debt currently subject to conversion into 5,215,959 shares. The above options, warrants and convertible debt were deemed to be antidilutive for the Company’s year end of December 31, 2008.
 
As of December 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding common stock options of 1,791,750, common stock warrants of 7,113,383, and convertible debt subject to conversion into 1,250,000 shares. The above options, warrants and convertible debt were deemed to be antidilutive for the Company’s year end of December 31, 2007.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” In February 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. FAS 157-2, “Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” which provides a one year deferral of the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. Therefore, the Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 157 with respect to its financial assets and liabilities only. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 had no impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
 
Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect to measure specified financial assets and liabilities in their entirety at fair value on a contract-by-contract basis. If an entity elects the fair value option for an eligible item, changes in the item’s fair value must be reported as unrealized gains and losses in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. In adopting SFAS No. 159, we did not elect the fair value option for any of our financial assets or financial liabilities.
 
F-11

 
The Company's financial instruments primarily consist of cash and cash equivalents, prepaid expenses and other deferred charges, short-term accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other current liabilities. All instruments are accounted for on an historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates the fair value at the reporting dates of these financial statements.
 
In determining fair value of our cost method investment, QuantRx estimated fair value based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of this investment that are not readily apparent from other sources. QuantRx has determined that the carrying value for its cost method investment approximates fair value.
 
Impairments
 
The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets, including other intangible assets, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.” The determination of related estimated useful lives and whether or not these assets are impaired involves significant judgments, related primarily to the future profitability and/or future value of the assets. The Company holds investments in companies having operations or technologies in areas which are within or adjacent to our strategic focus when acquired, all of which are privately held and whose values are difficult to determine. The Company records an investment impairment charge if it believes an investment has experienced a decline in value that is other than temporary.
 
The Company performed annual impairment tests of our equity method goodwill in accordance with SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Under SFAS No. 142, equity method goodwill is not amortized but is subject to impairment tests in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock,” under which QuantRx would have recognized an impairment loss had there been a loss in the value of the equity method goodwill which was deemed to be other than a temporary decline. See Note 4 for additional information.
 
Management has determined that no impairments were required during the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes and the related accounts under the liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the income tax bases of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is applied against any net deferred tax asset if, based on available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
 
In July 2006, FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. (FIN) 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an Interpretation of FASB Statement 109,” which clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in tax positions. Under FIN 48, the impact of an uncertain income tax position on the income tax return must be recognized at the largest amount that is more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon audit by the relevant taxing authority. An uncertain income tax position will not be recognized if it has less than a 50% likelihood of being sustained. Additionally, FIN 48 provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. We adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of the date of adoption. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we did not recognize an increase in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits. There are no unrecognized tax benefits included in the consolidated balance sheet that would, if recognized, affect the effective tax rate. The adoption of FIN 48 did not impact our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
 
F-12

 
Our policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. We had no accrual for interest or penalties on our consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2008 or 2007, and have not recognized interest and/or penalties in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2008. See Note 12, Income Taxes.
 
Intangible Assets
 
The Company’s intangible assets consist of patents, patents under licensing, website development costs, and acquired intangibles, and are carried at the legal cost to obtain them. Intangible assets are amortized using the straight line method over the estimated useful life. Useful lives are as follows: patents, 17 years; patents under licensing, 10 years; website development costs, three years, and; acquired intangibles, estimated remaining useful life, between three and 15 years. Amortization expense totaled $179,444 and $132,875 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The estimated aggregate amortization expense for 2009 through 2013 is $178,931; $168,403; $161,695; $157,672; and $157,672.
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and, from April 1, 2007, its majority-owned subsidiary, FluoroPharma, Inc.  All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  See Note 4 for additional information.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. The Company’s property and equipment at December 31, 2008 and 2007 consisted of computer and office equipment, machinery and equipment and leasehold improvements with estimated useful lives of three to seven years. Estimated useful lives of leasehold improvements do not exceed the remaining lease term. Depreciation expense was $103,992 and $81,932 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”. SFAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS No. 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission’s approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board auditing amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” The Company does not expect this statement to have an effect on its consolidated financial statements.
 
F-13

 
 
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP Accounting Principles Board (APB) 14-1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)". FSP APB 14-1 requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer's non-convertible debt borrowing rate. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for QuantRx beginning with the first quarter of 2009. QuantRx is currently evaluating the effect, if any, that the adoption will have on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets”. FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS No. 142. FSP 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The implementation of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. This statement changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect the implementation of this standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements at this time.
 
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements—an amendment of ARB No. 51”. SFAS No. 160 requires noncontrolling interests or minority interests to be treated as a separate component of equity, not as a liability or other item outside of permanent equity. Upon a loss of control, the interest sold, as well as any interest retained, is required to be measured at fair value, with any gain or loss recognized in earnings. Based on SFAS No. 160, assets and liabilities will not change for subsequent purchase or sale transactions with non-controlling interests as long as control is maintained. Differences between the fair value of consideration paid or received and the carrying value of noncontrolling interests are to be recognized as an adjustment to the parent interest’s equity. SFAS No. 160 requires that the noncontrolling interest continue to be attributed its share of losses even if that attribution results in a deficit noncontrolling interest balance; if this would result in a material change to consolidated net income, pro forma financial information is required. SFAS No. 160 is effective for QuantRx beginning in the first quarter of 2009. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company has not fully determined the effects of implementation of this standard on its financial statements, but does anticipate that allocating the noncontrolling interest its full share of the subsidiary’s losses will result in a material change to consolidated net income and will require pro forma disclosure. Moreover, should the Company sustain a loss of control in its subsidiary resulting in deconsolidation, the financial statements would be materially affected.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting for business combinations. Under SFAS No. 141(R), an acquiring entity will be required to recognize all the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a transaction at the acquisition-date at fair value with limited exceptions. SFAS No. 141(R) will change the accounting treatment and disclosure for certain specific items in a business combination. SFAS No. 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Accordingly, any business combinations the Company engages in will be recorded and disclosed following existing GAAP until January 1, 2009. QuantRx does not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements unless the Company enters into business acquisitions in the future.
 
F-14

 
In November 2007, EITF No. 07-01, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” was issued. EITF No. 07-01 requires collaborators to present the results of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any payments received from (made to) other collaborators based on other applicable GAAP or, in the absence of other applicable GAAP, based on analogy to authoritative accounting literature or a reasonable, rational, and consistently applied accounting policy election. Further, EITF 07-01 clarified that transactions within a collaborative arrangement that are part of a vendor-customer (or analogous) relationship are subject to Issue 01-9, “Accounting for Consideration Given by a Vendor to a Customer.” EITF 07-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. QuantRx does not expect the adoption of EITF 07-01 to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
 
In June 2007, the FASB ratified the EITF consensus on EITF No. 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services Received for Use in Future Research and Development Activities.” EITF 07-3 provides that nonrefundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development activities should be capitalized and deferred. Such amounts should be recognized as an expense as the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed or such time when an entity does not expect the goods to be delivered or services to be performed. EITF 07-3 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2007. The adoption of EITF 07-3 has not had a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations or financial position.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications have resulted in no changes to the Company’s accumulated deficit or net losses presented.
 
Research and Development Costs
 
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. The cost of intellectual property purchased from others that is immediately marketable or that has an alternative future use is capitalized and amortized as intangible assets. Capitalized costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic life of the related asset.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13 when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and delivery or performance has occurred, provided the fee is fixed or determinable and collection is probable. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed and determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction. If a fee is based upon a variable such as acceptance by the customer, the Company accounts for the fee as not being fixed and determinable. In these cases, the Company defers revenue and recognizes it when it becomes due and payable. Up-front engagement fees are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized to income on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, although the fee is due and payable at the time the agreement is signed or upon annual renewal. Payments related to substantive, performance-based milestones in an agreement are recognized as revenue upon the achievement of the milestones as specified in the underlying agreement when they represent the culmination of the earnings process. The Company assesses the probability of collection based on a number of factors, including past transaction history with the customer and the current financial condition of the customer. If the Company determines that collection of a fee is not reasonably assured, revenue is deferred until the time collection becomes reasonably assured.
 
F-15

 
The Company recognizes revenue from nonrefundable minimum royalty agreements from distributors or resellers upon delivery of product to the distributor or reseller, provided no significant obligations remain outstanding, the fee is fixed and determinable, and collection is probable. Once minimum royalties have been received, additional royalties are recognized as revenue when earned based on the distributor’s or reseller’s contractual reporting obligations.
 
The Company’s strategy includes entering into collaborative agreements with strategic partners for the development, commercialization and distribution of its product candidates. Such collaboration agreements may have multiple deliverables. The Company evaluates multiple deliverable arrangements pursuant to EITF 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Pursuant to EITF 00-21, in arrangements with multiple deliverables where the Company has continuing performance obligations, contract, milestone and license fees are recognized together with any up-front payments over the term of the arrangement as performance obligations are completed, unless the deliverable has stand alone value and there is objective, reliable evidence of fair value of the undelivered element in the arrangement. In the case of an arrangement where it is determined there is a single unit of accounting, all cash flows from the arrangement are considered in the determination of all revenue to be recognized. Cash received in advance of revenue recognition is recorded as deferred revenue.
 
CytoCore, Inc.
 
On May 19, 2008, QuantRx and CytoCore, Inc. entered into a worldwide distribution and supply agreement for specified PAD technology of QuantRx. The agreement specifies monthly license fees during CytoCore’s expected development period and additional milestone payments based upon CytoCore’s achievement of certain development and sales milestones.  QuantRx received an up-front, non-refundable payment of $100,000 upon execution of this agreement, which was recorded as deferred revenue and is being amortized into revenue over the expected development period of the agreement, which is estimated as 18 months. QuantRx recognized revenue of $80,111 in the year ended December 31, 2008 related to this agreement.
 
Branan Medical Corporation
 
In early 2008, QuantRx and Branan Medical Corporation terminated their license agreement for certain of QuantRx’s technology. QuantRx recognized royalties of $8,561 and $51,364 from this agreement in 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
Synova Healthcare, Inc.
 
In 2006, QuantRx and Synova Healthcare, Inc. entered into a distribution agreement pursuant to which Synova would act as the exclusive distributor of specified hemorrhoid products of QuantRx in the United States. QuantRx received an up-front, non-refundable payment of $500,000 upon execution of the distribution agreement, which was recorded as deferred revenue and was amortized into revenue over the expected term of the agreement, which was six years. In December 2007, in accordance with the terms of the distribution agreement, QuantRx delivered notice of termination of the agreement and recognized the remaining deferred revenue at that time of $383,513. QuantRx recognized aggregate revenue of $459,901 in 2007.
 
F-16

 
Development Agreements
 
In 2007 QuantRx entered into two development agreements to develop rapid test POC products in oral care for ALT BioScience (ALT), and an at-home diagnostic test jointly with Church & Dwight Co., Inc. In 2008 and 2007, QuantRx recognized revenues $419,025 and $235,146 related to these agreements in accordance with its revenue recognition policies, and costs of approximately $286,246 and $346,845, respectively.
 
The ALT agreement, and subsequent renewals, commenced March 2007 and stipulated an up front fee, recognized over the initial five month term, and monthly fees. Currently, the agreement is on a month-to-month basis, subject to termination with 45 days notice. The agreement grants QuantRx certain manufacturing rights for the developed products, which shall be negotiated in good faith in a separate manufacturing agreement upon the completion of design and verification testing. These manufacturing rights will survive any potential termination of the development agreement.
 
The Church & Dwight agreement was accounted for using the Performance Method – Expected Revenue. The agreement included an up front payment which was recognized fully in 2007, and stipulated milestone based payments, which were recognized in 2007 and 2008. On August 14, 2008, QuantRx entered into a Technology License Agreement with Church & Dwight Co., Inc.  Under the terms of the agreement, Church & Dwight acquired exclusive world-wide rights to use certain QuantRx technology related to the jointly developed test. Under the ten-year agreement, QuantRx will receive royalties on net sales of the product beginning in 2009.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The accompanying financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and include certain estimates and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Accordingly, actual results may differ from those estimates.
 
4.  CONSOLIDATION OF FLUOROPHARMA, INC.
 
In March 2006, QuantRx purchased 1,096,170 shares of FluoroPharma common stock for a total purchase price of $1,566,023. Contemporaneously, QuantRx negotiated the purchase of an additional 300,000 shares from private investors for $429,000. In February 2007, QuantRx purchased an additional 200,000 shares from private investors for $286,000.  On April 13, 2007, QuantRx and FluoroPharma closed the transactions contemplated by a “stage 2” investment agreement. Under the investment agreement, effective April 1, 2007, QuantRx purchased 627,058 shares of common stock of FluoroPharma for $1,250,000, consisting of (i) cash payments aggregating $741,178; and (ii) cancellation in full of two promissory notes issued by FluoroPharma in favor of QuantRx, in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000, and with accrued and unpaid interest of $8,822, for a total of $508,822. As a result of these equity purchases, QuantRx’s ownership in FluoroPharma exceeded 50%, requiring QuantRx to consolidate FluoroPharma.  FluoroPharma, Inc. is a privately held molecular imaging company based in Boston, Massachusetts, engaged in the discovery, development, and commercialization of proprietary products for positron emission tomography. The investment in FluoroPharma is intended to strategically expand QuantRx’s diagnostic platforms.
 
F-17

 
As of December 31, 2008, QuantRx owned approximately 57.78% of the issued and outstanding capital stock of FluoroPharma. Effective April 1, 2007, FluoroPharma’s results of operations have been included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
 
The investment in FluoroPharma of $2,281,023 at the date of consolidation was accounted for in accordance with the equity method of accounting. Since FluoroPharma’s liabilities exceeded assets on the investment dates, each investment was recorded as equity method goodwill. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, equity method goodwill is not amortized or tested for impairment in accordance with this standard. QuantRx reviewed the equity method goodwill in accordance with APB Opinion No. 18 under which QuantRx would have recognized an impairment loss had there been a loss in the value of the equity method goodwill which was deemed to be other than a temporary decline. No impairment was recognized through March 31, 2007.
 
QuantRx did not account for the acquisition of FluoroPharma’s equity as a business combination since FluoroPharma is a development-stage enterprise and did not meet the definition of a business in accordance with SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” and EITF 98-3, “Determining Whether a Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business.” As a result of the consolidation and pursuant to Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” effective April 1, 2007, QuantRx recognized previously unrecognized equity method losses relating to its investment in FluoroPharma of $829,648, attributable to 2006, as an adjustment to retained earnings, and $267,608, attributable to 2007, in the second quarter of 2007.  These losses were previously unrecognized since APB No. 18 stipulated that the entire investment be treated as equity method goodwill with no equity method loss recognition.
 
QuantRx’s aggregate investment in the equity of FluoroPharma of $3,531,023 was reduced at April 1, 2007, by the $1,097,256 in previously unrecognized equity method losses required to be recorded upon consolidation in accordance with ARB No. 51. The remaining investment balance of $2,433,767 at April 1, 2007, has been allocated upon consolidation based on fair value estimates as follows:
 
Cash
  $ 764,223  
Prepaid expenses
    99,980  
Property and equipment
    62,802  
Intangible assets
    2,134,783  
Current liabilities
    (352,733 )
Minority interests
    (275,288 )
    $ 2,433,767  
 
Acquired intangibles primarily consist of licensed patent rights and technology licenses and are estimated to have a weighted average life of 15 years.  Amortization expense related to these intangibles (subsequent to the acquisition) in 2008 and 2007 was $152,060 and $114,044, respectively.
 
Minority interests of $275,288 at April 1, 2007, resulted from the consolidation of FluoroPharma reflecting the interests held by third parties of FluoroPharma.  Since acquisition, and as of December 31, 2008, the portion of FluoroPharma’s losses attributable to the minority interest have been recorded, reducing the minority interest to zero.
 
F-18

 
In early 2008 and late 2007, QuantRx advanced an aggregate of $300,000 and $600,000, respectively, to FluoroPharma through eight short-term convertible promissory notes. Additionally, QuantRx advanced $553,700 and $40,000 as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  These advances, notes and accrued interest ($83,067 and $14,252 for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively) were eliminated in consolidation.
 
Under the initial investment agreement with FluoroPharma, QuantRx has the option to acquire additional shares of FluoroPharma through a series of staged investments. Such staged investments will take the form of cash at increasing valuations upon FluoroPharma’s achievement of certain milestones with respect to the successful completion of Phase I and Phase II FDA trials for certain compounds being developed by FluoroPharma. The final staged investment to wholly acquire FluoroPharma will be settled in QuantRx’s common stock. Any subsequent investment in FluoroPharma by QuantRx will be consummated pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in separate definitive agreements.
 
In connection with the initial investment, QuantRx received an option to purchase an additional 260,000 shares of FluoroPharma common stock at an exercise price of $0.75. FluoroPharma has outstanding common stock equivalents which, if exercised together with the Company’s option and convertible notes, would reduce the Company’s ownership percentage to approximately 48.17% on a fully diluted and as converted basis as of December 31, 2008.

2007 Convertible Promissory Notes
 
On October 16, 2007, QuantRx completed a private placement of 10% senior secured convertible promissory notes (the “2007 Notes”) and warrants to purchase shares of QuantRx' common stock. In connection with the private placement, QuantRx issued notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 and warrants to purchase 250,000 shares of QuantRx' common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 (relative fair value of $134,454). Proceeds of the financing will be used for general corporate purposes. The notes and the warrants were offered only to certain private accredited investors.
 
In the first quarter of 2008, the 2007 Notes were exchanged for 2008 Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the “2008 Notes”) resulting in a loss on extinguishment, as described below under “2008 Senior Secured Convertible Notes.”
 
The 2007 Notes were automatically convertible into shares of QuantRx common stock upon completion of a “qualified” equity financing (or financings) with aggregate gross proceeds of at least $3,000,000. Under the terms of the convertible notes, holders of the notes would have been deemed to have tendered 115% of their aggregate outstanding principal balance and accrued interest for purchase of securities in the qualified equity financing, entitling the holders to all rights afforded to purchasers in such financing (“contingent embedded conversion option”). Alternatively, the 2007 Notes allowed the holders to convert their outstanding principal and accrued interest into common stock at a price of $0.80 per common share (“embedded conversion option”). Either conversion would result in the satisfaction of all of QuantRx’s obligations under the 2007 Notes.
 
In the event QuantRx did not complete a qualified financing and holders did not voluntarily convert, QuantRx was to repay the outstanding principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest on October 31, 2008. At the payee’s option, accrued interest could have been converted to additional 2007 Notes. QuantRx had the right to prepay the 2007 Notes at 115% of face value and 100% of accrued interest by providing ten days notice.
 
In accordance with APB Opinion No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants,” QuantRx allocated $134,454 of the principal amount of the 2007 Notes to the warrants as original issue discount, which represented the relative fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance.
 
The conversion option embedded in the 2007 Notes described above was not considered a derivative instrument and was not required to be bifurcated pursuant to the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” since it was indexed to QuantRx’s stock and was classified as stockholders’ equity. Equity classification of the embedded conversion option was met through the requirements of EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” paragraphs 12-32. QuantRx also concluded, pursuant to EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments,” that while the embedded conversion option was not required to be bifurcated, the instruments did contain a beneficial conversion feature, as the share prices on the dates of issuance exceeded the effective conversion price of the embedded conversion option. QuantRx measured the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion option ($97,164) based upon the effective conversion price, which is defined by EITF 00-27 as the allocated proceeds divided by the number of shares to be received on conversion. This amount was recorded as original issue discount.
 
F-23

 
The contingent conversion option embedded in the 2007 Notes qualified as an embedded contingent conversion option in accordance with EITF 98-5 and 00-27 since execution was contingent upon a qualified equity financing and was not within the control of QuantRx. The intrinsic value of the contingent embedded conversion option was not recognized because the 2007 Notes were exchanged and satisfied in full.
 
In connection with the 2007 Notes, certain warrants that were previously issued to the holders were modified by reducing their exercise price from $1.50 to $0.75. The incremental fair value of this modification, accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), was $30,000, while the relative fair value was calculated to be $25,210 and was recorded as additional original issue discount. The initial warrants were originally granted in connection with a private placement of common stock and were accounted for as additional paid-in-capital.  In association with the issuance of the 2007 Notes, QuantRx issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.10 per share valued at $65,000 to the placement agent, and also incurred cash commissions of $70,000 in connection with the private placement resulting in total deferred debt offering cost of $135,000.
 
The fair value of the warrants issued to placement agents and the cash commissions have been recorded as deferred financing costs. The total original issue discount related to the warrants issued to the investors, the modified warrants and the beneficial conversion feature, and the deferred financing costs were being amortized to interest expense over the original term of the 2007 Notes in accordance with EITF 00-27, paragraph 19. Interest expense, including amortization of original issue discount and deferred financing costs related to the 2007 Notes, was $29,832 for 2008 through the date of extinguishment and $101,168 for 2007. The remaining unamortized debt discount of $189,101 and deferred financing costs of $99,399 were included in the loss on extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of 2008 upon the exchange of the 2007 Notes into the 2008 Notes; see below.
 
The Black-Scholes option pricing model was used to calculate the fair values of all of the above warrants. See Note 3, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, “Accounting for Share Based Payments.”
 
2008 Senior Secured Convertible Notes
 
 In the first quarter of 2008, the Company issued 10% senior secured convertible notes (the “2008 Notes”) to certain accredited investors.  In connection with the private placement, QuantRx issued notes in the aggregate principal amount of $2,157,247 and warrants with a five-year term to purchase 250,000 shares of QuantRx’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25. The warrants provide for full anti-dilution protection to the holders and allow for cashless exercise.
 
The 2008 Notes are automatically convertible into shares of QuantRx common stock upon completion of a “qualified” equity financing (or financings) with aggregate gross proceeds of at least $5,660,000 (amount to be reduced by the 2008 Notes, up to a maximum of $2,250,000). Under the terms of the 2008 Notes, holders will be deemed to have tendered 115% of their aggregate outstanding principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest for the purchase of securities in the qualified equity financing, entitling the holders to all rights afforded to purchasers in such financing (“contingent embedded conversion option”). Alternatively, the 2008 Notes allow the holders to convert their outstanding principal and accrued interest into common stock at a price of $0.50 per common share (“embedded conversion option”). Either conversion would result in the satisfaction of all of QuantRx’s obligations under the 2008 Notes.
 
In the event QuantRx does not complete a qualified financing and holders do not voluntarily convert, QuantRx was to repay the outstanding principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest on January 23, 2009. All holders subsequently have extended this maturity date to July 31, 2009. Interest on the outstanding principal amount of the 2008 Notes is payable quarterly in cash or, at the holders’ option, in additional 10% senior secured convertible notes with a principal amount equal to the calculated interest amount. QuantRx has the right to prepay the 2008 Notes at 106% of face value and 100% of accrued interest by providing ten days notice. In connection with the financing QuantRx entered into 1) a stock pledge agreement, pursuant to which QuantRx granted to the holders a continuing and perfected first priority security interest in certain equity securities owned by QuantRx of two private companies and specified rights and interests associated with the pledged shares, as well as 2) a patent, trademark and copyright security agreement, pursuant to which QuantRx granted to the holders a continuing and perfected first priority security interest in all of its owned or acquired patents, trademarks and copyrights and specified intellectual property and related rights and interests associated therewith. If an event of default occurs under the 2008 Notes, the holders have agreed not to take any action with respect to the collateral for 120 days after the holders provide QuantRx with notice of the holders’ proposed action. The stock pledge agreement and the patent, trademark and copyright security agreement, and the security interests created thereby, will terminate upon QuantRx’s satisfaction in full of its payment obligations under the 2008 Notes. In connection with the 2008 Notes, QuantRx may not issue any new indebtedness while at least 50% of the original principal amount of the notes remains outstanding without the consent of holders of at least 75% of the principal amount of the then outstanding notes.
 
F-24

 
 
In connection with the financing and in accordance with the terms of the 2007 Notes, the holders representing $1,000,000 face value of QuantRx’s 2007 Notes exchanged their notes at 115% of the outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest as payment toward the purchase price of the 2008 Notes purchased by such holders. Accordingly, the Company issued notes in the financing in the aggregate principal balance of $1,157,247 to the former holders upon their surrender of the 2007 Notes.  In the aggregate, the Company received gross cash proceeds of $1,000,000 in connection with the issuance of the 2008 Notes.
 
QuantRx used the net proceeds from the offering for product development, working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
 QuantRx has determined that the terms of the 2008 Notes are “substantially different”, as described in EITF Issue No. 96-19, “Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments”, from the terms of the 2007 Notes based on the greater than 10% change in the present value of the cash flows associated with the 2008 Notes and the 2007 Notes. As a result, the Company recorded the 2008 Notes issued in exchange for the 2007 Notes at fair value on the date of issuance and recorded a loss on extinguishment of $439,445, which includes $189,101 and $99,399 representing the remaining unamortized debt discount and deferred finance costs related to the 2007 Notes, respectively. In accordance with EITF Issue No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios”, the Company also remeasured the intrinsic value of the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the 2007 Notes at the time of extinguishment and determined that it had no value as the closing stock price on the date of extinguishment was less than the effective conversion price; therefore no allocation of the reacquisition price for the repurchase of the beneficial conversion feature embedded in the 2007 Notes was required. Additionally, there were no warrants issued to the holders of the 2007 Notes related to their exchange of 2007 Notes for 2008 Notes.
 
The cash proceeds from the 2008 Notes issued in the first quarter of $1,000,000 were allocated between the notes and the warrants on a relative fair value basis in accordance with APB Opinion No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants.” QuantRx allocated $122,035 of the principal amount of $1,000,000 to the warrants as original issue discount, which represented the relative fair value of the warrants at the date of issuance.
 
F-25

 
Like the 2007 Notes, the conversion option embedded in the 2008 Notes described above is not considered a derivative instrument and is not required to be bifurcated pursuant to the scope exception in paragraph 11(a) of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” since it is indexed to QuantRx’s stock and is classified as stockholders’ equity. Equity classification of the embedded conversion option is met through the requirements of EITF 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock,” paragraphs 12-32. QuantRx also concluded, pursuant to EITF 00-27, “Application of Issue 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments,” that while the embedded conversion option is not required to be bifurcated, the instruments do contain a beneficial conversion feature, as the share prices on the dates of issuance exceeded the effective conversion price of the embedded conversion option. QuantRx measured the intrinsic value of the embedded conversion option ($647,760) based upon the effective conversion price, which is defined by EITF 00-27 as the allocated proceeds divided by the number of shares to be received on conversion. This amount was recorded as original issue discount.
 
The contingent conversion option embedded in the 2008 Notes qualifies as an embedded contingent conversion option in accordance with EITF 98-5 and 00-27 since execution is contingent upon a qualified equity financing and is not within the control of QuantRx. The intrinsic value of the contingent embedded conversion option will not be recognized until and unless such financing occurs (the triggering event); which will then enable QuantRx to measure the intrinsic value associated with the automatic conversion feature.
 
In association with the issuance of the 2008 Notes in the first quarter, QuantRx issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.10 per share valued at $55,750 to the placement agent, and also incurred cash commissions of $70,000 and legal fees of $7,500 in connection with the private placement, resulting in total deferred debt financing costs of $133,250.
 
In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company issued three additional 2008 Notes maturing July 31, 2009 aggregating $300,000 with substantially the same terms as the 2008 Notes. In connection with these note issuances, warrants with a five-year term to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.55 and 25,000 shares of common stock were also issued. Additionally, certain warrants that were previously issued to the holders through previous financing transactions were modified by reducing their exercise prices to $0.55.
 
The accounting for these 2008 Notes is consistent with the 2008 Notes above. The cash proceeds from the fourth quarter 2008 Notes of $300,000 were allocated between the notes, common stock, the new and modified warrants on a relative fair value basis. QuantRx allocated the relative fair values of the common stock ($7,817), new warrants ($18,918), and modified warrants ($30,131) at the date of issuance to original issue discount. Additionally, a beneficial conversion feature of $1,427 was accounted for as original issue discount. No deferred finance costs were incurred on these fourth quarter 2008 Notes.
 
In the aggregate for all 2008 Notes, the fair value of the warrants issued to placement agents and the cash commissions and legal fees have been recorded as deferred financing costs. The total original issue discount related to the common stock and warrants issued to the investors, the beneficial conversion feature, and the deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense over the original term of each 2008 Note in accordance with EITF 00-27, paragraph 19. QuantRx recorded $1,060,435 in interest expense, including amortization of original issue discount and deferred financing costs, related to the 2008 Notes for the year ended December 31, 2008.  As of December 31, 2008, the Company issued three 2008 Notes in the aggregate amount of $150,733 pursuant to one holder’s election to receive quarterly interest in the form of paid-in-kind notes.

2008 Secured Promissory Notes Payable
 
In the second quarter of 2008, the Company commenced a private placement to certain accredited investors through the issuance of 8% senior secured promissory notes (the “2008 Secured Promissory Notes”). The private placement closed in the third quarter of 2008.  In connection with the private placement, QuantRx issued notes in the aggregate principal amount of $550,000, and an aggregate of 137,500 shares of common stock and warrants with a five-year term to purchase 137,500 shares of common stock warrants at a per share exercise price of $0.85.  The warrants provide for full anti-dilution protection to the holders and allow for cashless exercise. The 2008 Secured Promissory Notes were originally due on September 15, 2008, along with all accrued and unpaid interest. QuantRx used the net proceeds from the offering for product development, working capital and general corporate purposes.
 
In connection with the financing QuantRx entered into 1) a stock pledge agreement, pursuant to which QuantRx granted to the holders a continuing and perfected first priority security interest in certain equity securities owned by QuantRx of two private companies and specified rights and interests associated with the pledged shares, as well as 2) a patent, trademark and copyright security agreement, pursuant to which QuantRx granted to the holders a continuing and perfected first priority security interest in all of its owned or acquired patents, trademarks and copyrights and specified intellectual property and related rights and interests associated therewith. If an event of default occurs under the 2008 Secured Promissory Notes, the holders have agreed not to take any action with respect to the collateral for 120 days after the holders provide QuantRx with notice of the holders’ proposed action. The stock pledge agreement and the patent, trademark and copyright security agreement, and the security interests created thereby, will terminate upon QuantRx’s satisfaction in full of its payment obligations under the 2008 Secured Promissory Notes.
 
 The cash proceeds from the 2008 Secured Promissory Notes of $550,000 were allocated between the notes, common stock and warrants on a relative fair value basis. QuantRx allocated $79,806 and $58,050 of the principal amount of $550,000 to the common stock and warrants as original issue discount, which represented the relative fair values of each at the date of issuance.
 
In association with the issuance of the 2008 Secured Promissory Notes, QuantRx issued warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $0.85 per share valued at $64,000 to the placement agent, and also incurred cash commissions of $55,000 in connection with the private placement resulting in total deferred finance costs of $119,000.
 
The fair value of the warrants issued to placement agents and the cash commissions were recorded as deferred financing costs. The total original issue discount related to the common stock and warrants issued to the investors and the deferred financing costs were amortized to interest expense over the original term of the 2008 Secured Promissory Notes in accordance with EITF 00-27, paragraph 19.

The consideration for the extensions was recognized as prepaid interest and was amortized over the extension periods. On December 15, 2008, when these Notes matured, the holders agreed to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2009. In consideration for one of these seven and a half month extensions, QuantRx modified the holder’s warrants to purchase 20,000 shares of common stock by reducing the exercise price from $0.85 to $0.55. The incremental value of this modification was $400, which was recorded as prepaid interest and is being amortized over the term of the extension as interest expense.

At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company had gross deferred tax assets calculated at an expected blended rate of 38% of approximately $16,085,386 and $13,942,444 respectively, principally arising from net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. As management of the Company cannot determine that it is more likely than not that the Company will realize the benefit of the deferred tax asset, a valuation allowance of $16,065,431 and $13,917,226 has been established at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
 
 Additionally, the future utilization of our net operating loss and R&D credit carryforwards to offset future taxable income may be subject to an annual limitation, pursuant to IRC Sections 382 and 383, as a result of ownership changes that may have occurred previously or that could occur in the future.
 
The significant components of the Company’s net deferred tax assets (liabilities) at December 31, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:

In accordance with SFAS No. 109, the accounting for the tax benefits of acquired deductible temporary differences and NOL carryforwards, which are not recognized at the acquisition date because a valuation allowance is established and which are recognized subsequent to the acquisition, will be applied first to reduce to zero any goodwill and other non-current intangible assets related to the acquisition.  Any remaining benefits would be recognized as a reduction of income tax expense.  As of December 31, 2008, approximately $1,186,330 of deferred tax assets with a valuation allowance relates to our newly consolidated, majority owned subsidiary, the future benefits of which will be applied first to reduce to zero any goodwill and other non-current intangible assets related to the acquisition, prior to reducing our income tax expense.

In 2007, the Company adopted the 2007 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan (hereinafter “the Plan”), which replaced the 1997 Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, as amended in 2001, and under which 8,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under qualified options, nonqualified options, stock appreciation rights and other awards as set forth in the Plan.
 
Under the Plan, qualified options are available for issuance to employees of the Company and non-qualified options are available for issuance to consultants and advisors. The Plan provides that the exercise price of a qualified option cannot be less than the fair market value on the date of grant and the exercise price of a nonqualified option must be determined on the date of grant. Options granted under the Plan generally vest three to five years from the date of grant and generally expire ten years from the date of grant.
 
In the fourth quarter of 2008, 6,250 non-qualified common stock options were granted to a member of the board of directors and issued from the Company’s Incentive and Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan. The options were issued with an exercise price of $0.35, have a term of five years and vested immediately. The fair value of these options is $1,813.
