QUANTRX BIOMEDICAL CORPORATION
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2008

 
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
 
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 interim consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, in the opinion of management, they include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of financial position and results of operations for the periods reported. The interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although QuantRx believes that the disclosures included herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of future results. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
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 2 for additional information. When used in these notes, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” or “us” mean QuantRx Biomedical Corporation, a Nevada corporation, and its subsidiary.

1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
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 method 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 three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, of $158,547 and $32,513, respectively (including $6,896 relating to subsidiary options in 2008).
 
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 stock equivalents, such as options and warrants to purchase common stock, convertible preferred stock and convertible notes, if applicable, that are outstanding. 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 March 31, 2008, the Company had common stock options of 2,344,750, common stock warrants of 7,463,383, and convertible debt subject to conversion into 4,314,493 shares outstanding. The above options, warrants, and convertible securities were deemed to be antidilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
 
As of March 31, 2007, the Company had outstanding common stock options of 1,372,500 and common stock warrants of 7,308,484. The above options and warrants were deemed to be antidilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2007.
 
Fair Value
 
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 FAS 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.
 
8

 
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 FAS No. 159, we did not elect the fair value option for any of our financial assets or financial liabilities.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
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 June 2007, the FASB ratified the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) consensus on EITF 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. This reclassification has resulted in no changes to the Company’s accumulated deficit or net losses presented.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 13, “Revenue Recognition” (Topic 13) and EITF No. 00-21, “Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables.” Revenue is recognized when all of the following criteria are met: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered; (3) the seller’s price to the buyer is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.
 
9

 
Revenue from licensing agreements is recognized based on the performance requirements of the agreement. Revenue is deferred for fees received before earned. Nonrefundable upfront fees that are not contingent on any future performance by us are recognized as revenue when revenue recognition criteria under Topic 13 and EITF 00-21 are met and the license term commences. Nonrefundable upfront fees, where we have an ongoing involvement or performance obligations, are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized as revenue over the life of the contract, the period of the performance obligation or the development period, whichever is appropriate in light of the circumstances.
 
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 agreements when they represent the culmination of the earnings process. Royalty revenue from licensed products will be recognized when earned in accordance with the terms of the license agreements.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions regarding certain types of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Such estimates primarily relate to unsettled transactions and events as of the date of the financial statements and fair valuations of share-based payments. Actual results may differ from estimated amounts.
 
2.
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.
 
As of March 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 aggregate investment in FluoroPharma of $2,281,023 as of 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 is not accounting for the acquisition of FluoroPharma’s equity as a business combination since FluoroPharma is a development-stage enterprise and does 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:

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 for the three months ending March 31, 2008, was $34,284.
 
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 March 31, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the portion of FluoroPharma’s losses attributable to the minority interest have been recorded, reducing the minority interest to zero.
 
In the first quarter of 2008 and the third and fourth quarters of 2007, QuantRx advanced an aggregate of $900,000 ($300,000 in 2008 and $600,000 in 2007) to FluoroPharma through eight convertible promissory notes due within twelve months. These notes and accrued interest ($29,067 as of March 31, 2008 and $14,252 as of December 31, 2007) 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 53.17% on a fully diluted and as converted basis as of March 31, 2008.

Notes Receivable
 
Genomics USA, Inc.
 
In January 2007, QuantRx advanced $200,000 to Genomics USA, Inc. (GUSA) through an 8% promissory note due April 8, 2007. The note is currently convertible at QuantRx’s discretion into 10% of GUSA’s outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted and as converted basis. QuantRx is currently exploring the possibility of further investment, and has postponed settlement of the note during this exploratory period, during which the note shall continue to accrue interest. QuantRx accrued interest of $4,040 and $15,649 on this note for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, respectively. GUSA, a privately held Illinois corporation, is a technology company focused on the development of Micro-Array Detection for DNA. This technology may strategically expand QuantRx’s diagnostic platforms. See Note 5 for additional information on GUSA.
 
Rockland Technimed, Ltd.
 
In April 2006, QuantRx advanced $200,000 to Rockland Technimed, Ltd. (Rockland) through a 7% convertible promissory note due twelve months from the date of issuance. Rockland, a privately held Delaware corporation, is a development stage company focused on the research and development of tissue viability imaging diagnostics using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners. QuantRx accrued interest of $4,083 during the year ended December 31, 2007. The note is convertible at QuantRx’s discretion into 20% of Rockland’s outstanding capital stock on a fully diluted and as converted basis to satisfy the note and accrued interest. QuantRx ceased accruing interest as of the maturity date and established an allowance for bad debt in the amount equal to the principal balance and accrued interest, $214,000, as the Company attempts to resolve this matter.

Deferred Revenue
 
On July 7, 2006 (the effective date), QuantRx and Synova Healthcare, Inc. (Synova) 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. The initial term of the agreement was to commence on the effective date and, unless sooner terminated as provided in the agreement, was to continue in effect for a period of five years following the month in which Synova made its first shipment of products to its initial customers. Management estimated the effective term of the agreement to be six years from the effective date.
 
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. QuantRx recognized revenue of $459,901 in 2007. 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.

Portland Development Commission
 
In February 2007, QuantRx received a $44,000 loan from the Portland Development Commission. The loan matures in 20 years and is interest free through March 1, 2010 and no payments are due until April 1, 2010. The terms of the promissory note stipulate that the interest rate will accrue beginning in March 1, 2010 at an annual rate between 1% and 8.5% based upon the level of compliance with certain employment milestones beginning in 2008.
 
Additionally, QuantRx received a $14,000 grant for qualified expenditures related to its research facility. QuantRx satisfied the grant terms and recorded the grant as other income in the first quarter of 2007.

Convertible Debt
 
2007 Convertible Notes
 
On October 16, 2007, QuantRx completed a private placement of 10% senior secured convertible notes (the “2007 Notes”) and warrants to purchase shares of QuantRx’s 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’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25 (relative fair value of $134,454). Proceeds of the financing were 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 2007 Notes, holders 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 have resulted in the satisfaction of all of QuantRx’s obligations under the 2007 Notes.
 
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 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 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, “Application of Issue 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments,” 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 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.
 
15

 
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.
 
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 through the date of extinguishment, including amortization of original issue discount and deferred financing costs, related to the 2007 Notes was $29,832 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. 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.
 
2008 Senior Secured Convertible Notes 
 
 In the first quarter of 2008, the Company completed a $2.16 million private placement with certain strategic accredited investors through the issuance of 10% senior secured convertible notes (the “2008 Notes”) and warrants. 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.
 
16

 
In the event QuantRx does not complete a qualified financing and holders do not voluntarily convert, QuantRx must repay the outstanding principal balance and accrued and unpaid interest on January 23, 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.
 
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 expects to use 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 new cash proceeds from the 2008 Notes 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.
 
17

 
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, “Application of Issue 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments,” 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, 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.
 
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 warrants issued to the investors, the beneficial conversion feature, and the deferred financing costs are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the 2008 Notes in accordance with EITF 00-27, paragraph 19. Interest expense, including amortization of original issue discount and deferred financing costs, related to the 2008 Notes was $173,960 for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

Preferred Stock
 
The Company has authorized 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, of which 9,750,000 are designated Series A convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value. The remaining 15,250,000 authorized preferred shares have not yet been designated by the Company. The Company had no issued and outstanding preferred stock at March 31, 2008 or December 31, 2007.

Common Stock, Options and Warrants
 
In the first quarter of 2008, QuantRx completed a private placement of 10% senior secured convertible notes and warrants to purchase shares of QuantRx’s common stock. In connection with the private placement, QuantRx issued warrants with a five-year term to purchase 250,000 shares of QuantRx’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25. The notes and the warrants were offered only to certain private accredited investors. In association with the issuance of these convertible notes, QuantRx issued warrants for services to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.10 per share valued at $55,750.
 
On October 16, 2007, QuantRx completed a private placement of 10% convertible notes and warrants to purchase shares of QuantRx’s common stock. In connection with the private placement, QuantRx issued warrants with a five-year term to purchase 250,000 shares of QuantRx’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.25. The notes and the warrants were offered only to certain private accredited investors. In association with the issuance of these convertible notes, QuantRx issued warrants for services to purchase 100,000 shares of common stock at $1.10 per share valued at $65,000.
 
Throughout 2007, the Company issued an aggregate of 14,000 common stock warrants with five-year terms and exercise prices equal to the market price on the dates of grant (varying between $0.61 to $1.15). These warrants were in consideration of business development consulting services. The fair value of these warrants was calculated to be $11,160, which was expensed in 2007.
 
In the third quarter of 2007, QuantRx initiated a limited warrant exercise inducement targeting certain large warrant holders. The inducement was a reduction in the exercise price from $1.50 to $0.75 to a limited number of accredited investors holding warrants acquired in conjunction with prior common stock purchases. As a result of this inducement, 751,001 common stock warrants were exercised and exchanged for 751,001 shares of our common stock for aggregate gross proceeds of $563,251. In connection with the exercise of these warrants, QuantRx paid cash commissions to Legend Merchant, Inc. of $16,429.
 
In the third quarter of 2007, 38,100 common stock warrants were exercised and exchanged for 38,100 shares of our common stock resulting in proceeds to the Company of $20,955. The exercise price for these warrants was $0.55.
 
On April 30, 2007, the Company issued a warrant in consideration of financial advisory and public relations consulting services performed through April 30, 2007. The warrant has a term of five years and represents the right to purchase 30,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.20.

On April 16, 2007, the Company issued a warrant in consideration of a financial advisory and investor relations consulting services agreement with an initial one year term. The original agreement was modified June 20, 2007. The original warrant had a term of five years and represented the right to purchase 350,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.35 and vested ratably each month over the initial one year term. The fair value of the original warrant was calculated to be $420,000. On June 20, 2007, the agreement was modified and the original warrant was cancelled.

Commitments and Contingencies
 
Operating Leases
 
QuantRx leases office space and research and development lab space under operating leases that expire at various times through 2011. Some of these leases contain cancellation clauses, subject to a termination fee, and include allocations for common expenses subject to future adjustment. Rent expense related to operating leases was approximately $30,123 and $29,345 for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. In connection with some of these facility leases, the Company has made security deposits totaling $10,310, which are included in long-term assets in the balance sheet. Future minimum lease obligations, inclusive of potential termination fees, for operating leases as of March 31, 2008 are estimated as follows:
 
Remainder of 2008

In February 2007, the Company began subleasing research and development lab space under the noncancellable operating leases. The sublease can be terminated upon ninety days notice by either party, and a $2,000 security deposit is being held by QuantRx pursuant to the terms of the lease. Sublease income for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, was $6,320 and $2,750, respectively, and is recorded in other income.
 
Executive Employment Contracts
 
The Company has an employment contract with a key Company executive that provides for the continuation of salary to the executive if terminated for reasons other than cause, as defined in those agreements. At March 31, 2008, the future employment contract commitment for such key executive based on this termination clause was approximately $240,000.
 
14.
Subsequent Event
 
In April 2008, QuantRx initiated a limited warrant exercise inducement targeting large warrant holders who have expressed an interest to participate. The inducement is a reduction in the exercise price from $1.50 to $0.70 to a limited number of warrant holders who acquired the warrants in conjunction with prior common stock purchases. As of May 5, 2008, 241,699 common stock warrants were exercised and exchanged for 241,699 shares of our common stock for total proceeds of $169,189.

The following discussion (as well as statements in Item 1 above and elsewhere) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 that involve risks and uncertainties. Some or all of the results anticipated by these forward-looking statements may not occur. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, trends in the biotechnology, healthcare, and pharmaceutical sectors of the economy; competitive pressures and technological developments from domestic and foreign genetic research and development organizations which may affect the nature and potential viability of our business strategy; and private or public sector demand for products and services similar to what we plan to commercialize. We disclaim any intention or obligation to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect future events or developments.
 
Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, all references in this report to “we,” “our,” “ours,” “us,” the “Company” or similar terms refer to QuantRx Biomedical Corporation, a Nevada corporation.
 
Overview
 
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.
 
22

 
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.
 
Consolidated Results of Operations
 
Net operating revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 were $92,172 and $62,369, respectively. The increase in revenues of $29,803 is due to increased revenues of $50,000 related to short-term research and development agreements. These revenues were offset by the absence of $20,833 of deferred revenue accretion recorded in the first quarter of 2007.
 
Sales and marketing expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $52,627 and $43,715, respectively. The increase of $8,912 primarily reflects an increase in personnel related expenses.
 
General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $683,644 and $507,426, respectively. The increase of $193,377 reflects an increase in personnel related expenses of $138,465, primarily related to stock based compensation and the inclusion of our subsidiary’s personnel costs, and the additional general and administrative expenses related to our subsidiary included in the first quarter of 2008.
 
Professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, were $323,068 and $305,909, respectively. Professional fees include the costs of legal, consulting and auditing services provided to us. The increase of $17,159 primarily reflects increased legal fees of $54,691, increased FDA regulatory consulting of $40,966, offset by decreased financial consulting of $75,356.
 
Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, was $477,012 and $279,255, respectively. The increase of $197,757 is attributed to subsidiary research and development expenses of $221,246 included in the first quarter of 2008, primarily related to personnel, consulting, and clinical trials. 
 
The Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 was $2,017,241 and $1,044,744, respectively. The increased net loss is primarily due to a $439,445 loss on extinguishment of convertible notes in the first quarter of 2008 (see Note 9 to the financial statements); and the inclusion of additional expenses related to the consolidation of our subsidiary in the first quarter of 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2008, QuantRx had cash and cash equivalents of $156,786, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $213,332 as of December 31, 2007. The net decrease in cash of $56,546 for the three months ended March 31, 2008, is primarily attributed to net cash used for operating activities of $1,010,604, offset by $992,500 in net proceeds from the issuance of 10% senior secured convertible notes in the first quarter of 2008 (see Note 9 to the financial statements). QuantRx has used its financing proceeds as well as its revenues to fund current operating expenses and investments intended to strategically expand our platforms and technologies.
 
In the past, QuantRx has not generated sufficient revenues from operations to meet its operating expenses, but has been able to meet its cash needs through issuances of equity and the proceeds of debt instruments. While management is currently pursuing additional private equity financing and has been successful doing so in the past, it is not known whether the Company will be successful in its current financing. Additionally, the Company is limited in its ability to issue additional debt instruments, due to certain limitations contained in the senior secured convertible notes and related agreements. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital resources on acceptable terms, the Company’s business, results of operation, liquidity and financial condition would be materially and adversely harmed.
 
Management plans include the closing of the private equity financing currently in progress in the second quarter of 2008, and the simultaneous conversion of all outstanding senior secured convertible notes in accordance with the original terms of these agreements. Management is also focused on opportunities to increase revenues, including the consideration of licensing opportunities, and manage costs aggressively.
 
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.
 
24

 
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.
 
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 1 of the attached financial statements.
 
25

 
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.
 
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.”
 
We estimate 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.
 
26

 
We account for share-based compensation awards 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, we determine the fair value of the share-based compensation awards granted 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 of (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.
 
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.
 
The above listing is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all of our accounting policies. In most cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S.
 
ITEM 4T. Controls and Procedures
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is communicated to our management including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate. With the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined under Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2008.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
During the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
Given the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that the benefits of a control system must be considered relative to its cost. The design of any system of controls is also based in part on certain assumptions regarding 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.
