QUANTRX BIOMEDICAL CORPORATION
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2010 


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 diagnostics company focused on the development and commercialization of innovative diagnostic products for the Point-of-Care (POC) markets based on its patented technology platforms for the worldwide healthcare industry. These platforms include: RapidSense® and Q-Reader™ point-of-care testing products based on QuantRx’s core intellectual property related to lateral flow techniques for the consumer and healthcare professional markets and PAD technology for the consumer markets for the treatment of hemorrhoids, minor vaginal infection, urinary incontinence, and other medical needs. Additionally, the Company has made significant investments in a company developing Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) chips, genome-based diagnostic chips for the next generation of genomic and proteomic diagnostic markets and in its formerly majority-owned subsidiary, FluoroPharma, Inc., a company developing molecular imaging agents for Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and fluorescence imaging with initial application in cardiovascular disease, to provide clinical support for the Company’s POC cardiac diagnostics.
 
The Company’s overall growth strategy is to: (i) leverage its broad-based intellectual property (IP) and patent portfolio to develop new and innovative diagnostic products; (ii) commercialize products through corporate partners and distributors; and (iii) contract manufacturing to third parties 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 Securities and Exchange Commission. 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-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, which was filed with the SEC on March 31, 2010.
 
On July 30, 2009, QuantRx and NuRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. jointly formed QN Diagnostics, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, with each company owning 50% of the joint venture. The purpose of the joint venture is to develop and commercialize products incorporating our lateral flow strip technology and related lateral flow strip readers. See Note 3.

 
7

 
 
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its formerly majority-owned subsidiary, FluoroPharma.  Effective May 5, 2009, QuantRx and FluoroPharma executed transactions that resulted in QuantRx no longer having a controlling ownership interest, resulting in the deconsolidation of FluoroPharma. QuantRx has restated its financial statements as of January 1, 2009, to reflect the results of its former subsidiary as a one-line item, and beginning May 5, 2009, our financial statements reflect our investment in FluoroPharma under the equity method of accounting. See Note 5 for additional information. When used in these notes, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” or “us” mean QuantRx Biomedical Corporation, a Nevada corporation.
 
1.
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 securities 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.
 
The Company has formed a strategic joint venture (See Note 3) to alleviate the funding requirements for the development and commercialization of its lateral flow based products; however, management believes that given the current economic environment and the continuing need to strengthen the Company’s cash position, there is still doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We continue to actively pursue various funding options, including equity offerings and debt financings, to obtain additional funds to continue the development of our remaining products and bring them to commercial markets. The Company is currently negotiating several potential transactions; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital.
 
Management believes that the successful growth and operation of the Company’s business is dependent upon our ability to do any or all of the following:
 
 
·
finalize development of and commercialize products;
 
 
·
obtain adequate sources of debt or equity financing to pay unfunded operating expenses and fund certain long-term business operations until commercialization becomes profitable;
 
 
·
manage or control working capital requirements by containing operating expenses; and
 
 
·
develop new relationships with product distributors and other points of distribution for the Company’s products;
 
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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Accounting for Share-Based Payments
 
QuantRx follows the provisions of ASC Topic 718, which 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, which resulted in employee stock-based compensation expense for three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 of $23,042 and $227,479, respectively.
 
Black Scholes Option Pricing Model
 
The following assumptions were determined at the beginning of each year and have been utilized in all Black Scholes calculations for each year:
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Risk-free interest rate
    2.43 %     3.24 %
Expected volatility
    72 %     70 %
Dividend yield
    0 %     0 %
 
Earnings per Share
 
The Company computes net income (loss) per common share in accordance with ASC Topic 260. 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 March 31, 2010, the Company had outstanding options exercisable for 2,795,500 shares of its common stock, warrants exercisable for 13,769,597 shares of its common stock, and preferred shares convertible into 8,120,794 shares of its common stock. The above options, warrants, and preferred shares were deemed to be antidilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
 
As of March 31, 2009, the Company had common stock options of 2,280,500, common stock warrants of 9,182,934, and convertible debt subject to conversion into 5,998,791 shares outstanding.  The above options, warrants, and convertible securities were deemed to be antidilutive for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
 
Fair Value
 
The Company has adopted ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for both financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. We have not elected the fair value option for any of our assets or liabilities.

 
9

 
 
Noncontrolling Interest
 
In January 2009, we adopted an amendment to ASC Topic 810 “Consolidation”, which required us to make certain changes to the presentation of our financial statements. This amendment requires noncontrolling 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. The statement 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. As of January 1, 2009, the Company presented its financial statements in accordance with this statement. However, on May 5, 2009, QuantRx and FluoroPharma reorganized their relationship by terminating their investment agreement and related agreements. The termination of these investment agreements, which were originally executed on March 10, 2006, allowed FluoroPharma to close an equity financing with third party investors.  In conjunction with the termination of these agreements and the additional investment in FluoroPharma by third parties, QuantRx agreed to convert all outstanding receivables from FluoroPharma into common stock of FluoroPharma. As a result of these transactions and the third party investment, QuantRx’s ownership interest in FluoroPharma’s issued and outstanding capital stock was reduced to a noncontrolling interest, which resulted in deconsolidation and a loss at deconsolidation in accordance with ASC 810.  See Note 5 for additional details.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In April 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-17, “Revenue Recognition – Milestone Method (Topic 605).” This ASU provides guidance on defining a milestone and determining when it may be appropriate to apply the milestone method of revenue recognition for research and development transactions. This update will be effective in the second quarter of 2010. Adoption of this update is not anticipated to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operation or financial position.
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820): Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” This ASU requires additional disclosures about significant unobservable inputs and transfers within Level 1 and 2 measurements. Adoption of this update did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operation or financial position.
 
In October 2009, the FASB issued ASU No. 2009-13, “Revenue Recognition (ASC 605): Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements.”  The guidance modifies the fair value requirements of ASC 605-25 by providing principles for allocation of consideration among its multiple elements, allowing more flexibility in identifying and accounting for separate deliverables under an arrangement. This guidance will be effective for revenue arrangements entered into or materially modified during 2010.  Adoption of this update did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operation or financial position.
 
Reclassifications
 
Certain reclassifications, primarily resulting from the deconsolidation of our former subsidiary, have been made in the presentation of the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2009 to conform to the presentation of the financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

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.
 
3.
Investment in Joint Venture – QN Diagnostics, LLC
 
On July 30, 2009, QuantRx and NuRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NuRx) jointly formed QN Diagnostics, LLC (QND), a Delaware limited liability company. QuantRx contributed certain intellectual property and other assets related to its lateral flow strip technology and related lateral flow strip reader technology with a fair value of $5,450,000, and NuRx contributed $5,000,000 in cash to QND.  NuRx and QuantRx each own a 50% interest in QND.  The purpose of the joint venture is to develop and commercialize products incorporating the lateral flow strip technology and related lateral flow strip readers.
 
The joint venture is managed by a board consisting of two QuantRx designees, two NuRx designees and an independent designee mutually selected by QuantRx and NuRx.  Subject to certain exceptions, board decisions are made by majority vote, provided that QuantRx and NuRx have veto rights with respect to certain matters. Since QuantRx does not have control of the joint venture, QuantRx accounts for the investment in QND utilizing the equity method of accounting.
 
Under the terms of the agreements, QND made a $2,000,000 cash distribution to QuantRx. QuantRx is committed to further capital contributions aggregating $1.55 million, comprised of: payment of milestone payments with PRIA Diagnostics (see Note 4) in QuantRx common stock (fair value of $750,000); transfer of fixed assets with a fair value of $100,000 at QND’s discretion; and a $700,000 sustaining capital contribution as required by QND. Subsequent sustaining capital contributions will be made by QuantRx and NuRx on an equal basis.
 
QuantRx and QND also entered into a Development and Services Agreement, pursuant to which QND pays a monthly fee to QuantRx in exchange for QuantRx providing all services related to the development, regulatory approval and commercialization of lateral flow products. The revenue recognized by QuantRx associated with the QND Development and Services Agreement in the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $649,281, and the expenses related to this agreement for the same period was $649,281. Expenses are included in each appropriate expense category in the statement of operations.

PRIA Asset Purchase Agreement
 
On July 30, 2009, the Company executed an asset purchase agreement with PRIA Diagnostics, LLC, pursuant to which PRIA agreed to sell to QuantRx certain of PRIA’s patents, trademarks, other intellectual property assets and certain fixed assets.

Investments
 
FluoroPharma, Inc.
 
On May 5, 2009, QuantRx and FluoroPharma reorganized their relationship by terminating their investment agreement and related agreements. The termination of these agreements, which were originally executed on March 10, 2006, allowed FluoroPharma to close an equity financing with third party investors. Contemporaneously, QuantRx agreed to convert all outstanding receivables from FluoroPharma, consisting of previously issued notes and related accrued interest and advances in the aggregate amount of $1,568,567, into 1,148,275 shares of common stock of FluoroPharma. As a result of these transactions and the third party investment, QuantRx’s ownership interest in FluoroPharma’s issued and outstanding capital stock was reduced to a noncontrolling interest, which resulted in deconsolidation. QuantRx has no continuing obligations or commitments to FluoroPharma.
 
At May 5, 2009, QuantRx’s remaining net basis of the investment in FluoroPharma, inclusive of receivables from FluoroPharma, was $43,286, after taking into account previously recorded losses of $5,056,304 ($231,046 in the first quarter of 2009) related to the consolidated results of FluoroPharma. These losses have been included in our consolidated financial statements commencing April 1, 2007, the original date of consolidation, through May 4, 2009, and are net of losses allocated to the then noncontrolling interests as applicable. On May 5, subsequent to the execution of the aforementioned transactions which led to the deconsolidation of FluoroPharma, QuantRx’s ownership of the outstanding capital stock of FluoroPharma was reduced to a noncontrolling interest. At deconsolidation the fair market value of QuantRx’s remaining noncontrolling interest in FluoroPharma was $842,876, based on the third party investment; however, FluoroPharma had a deficit equity balance, which resulted in QuantRx writing off the remaining basis in the investment of $43,286 and recording a loss from deconsolidation of $43,286 in accordance with ASC Topic 810.
 
On March 26, 2010, QuantRx entered into a Security Purchase Agreement with a qualified institutional buyer in which QuantRx sold 333,333 shares of FluoroPharma, Inc. class A common stock at a price of $0.75 per share for an aggregate amount of $250,000, resulting in a gain on disposition of $250,000.

Effective May 5, 2009, our financial statements reflect our investment in FluoroPharma under the equity method of accounting. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, QuantRx owned approximately 35.87% and 39.81%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding capital stock of FluoroPharma. However, at March 31, 2010, due to FluoroPharma’s issuance of a separate class of common stock in 2009, QuantRx held 15.79% of the voting rights of FluoroPharma.
 
At March 31, 2010, FluoroPharma’s condensed financial information was estimated as follows: expenses and net losses for the three months ended March 31, 2010 were estimated at $155,000. QuantRx’s estimated allocation of the net loss of $59,000 for this period was not recorded, since the remaining investment in FluoroPharma had a carrying value of $0.

The agreement specified 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 was amortized into revenue over the expected development period of the agreement, estimated as 18 months. QuantRx recognized revenue related to this agreement of $0 and $33,335 in the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

In the aggregate, $1,335,156 was paid and 4,060,397 shares of Series A-1 convertible preferred stock with a fair value of $4,060,397 were issued to the note holders to settle the outstanding $5,281,765 in convertible and promissory notes and $113,778 in related accrued interest.  In the first quarter of 2009, $176,686 in interest expense, $144,044 in amortization of debt discount and $8,693 in amortization of deferred finance costs was recorded.

Commitments and Contingencies
 
QN Diagnostics and PRIA Diagnostics
 
QuantRx is committed to further capital contributions to QN Diagnostics aggregating $1.55 million, comprised of: payment of milestone payments with PRIA Diagnostics in QuantRx common stock (fair value of $750,000); transfer of fixed assets with a fair value of $100,000 at QND’s discretion; and a $700,000 sustaining capital contribution as required by QND. Subsequent sustaining capital contributions will be made by QuantRx and NuRx on an equal basis. Should either party fail to make sustaining contributions as required, such party would be subject to a reduction in ownership interest and loss of a board seat.  See Notes 3 and 4.

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 $33,672 and $31,857 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. In connection with 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, 2010 are estimated as follows:
 
Remainder of 2010
  $ 85,527  
2011
    43,875  
Total minimum payments
  $ 129,402  
 
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 was $4,125 and $5,870 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and is recorded in other income.
 
Executive Employment Contracts
 
We have entered into employment contracts with key executives that provide for the continuation of salary to the executives if terminated for reasons other than cause or in connection with a change in control of QuantRx, as defined in those agreements. At March 31, 2010, the future employment contract commitment for such key executives based on these termination clauses was approximately $636,000, or in the case of a change of control, $1,272,000. In addition, the agreement states that if QuantRx were to sell all of its shares of capital stock or assets, or perform a material acquisition of another entity, QuantRx will pay a completion bonus.
 
Legal Contingencies
 
We may occasionally become subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business.  It is impossible for us to predict with any certainty the outcome of any disputes that may arise, and we cannot predict whether any liability arising from claims and litigation will be material in relation to our financial position or results of operations.
 
Merger Agreement
 
On January 29, 2010, QuantRx entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with NuRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NuRx) and NP Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of QuantRx (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that at the effective time (the “Effective Time”), Merger Sub will be merged with and into NuRx, with NuRx continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of QuantRx.

The following discussion of our financial condition should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes to financial statements included elsewhere in this filing.  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 point-of-care diagnostic products based on its patented technology platforms for the worldwide healthcare industry. The Company’s overall growth strategy is to: (i) leverage its broad-based intellectual property (IP) and patent portfolio to develop new and innovative diagnostic products; (ii) commercialize products through corporate partners and distributors; and (iii) contract manufacturing to third parties while maintaining control over the manufacturing process.
 
QN Diagnostics
 
On July 30, 2009, QuantRx and NuRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. entered into agreements to form QN Diagnostics, LLC (QND), a Delaware limited liability company. Pursuant to the agreements, QuantRx contributed certain intellectual property and other assets related to its lateral flow strip technology and related lateral flow strip reader technology with a fair value of $5,450,000, and NuRx contributed $5,000,000 in cash to QND.  Following the respective contributions by NuRx and QuantRx to the joint venture, NuRx and QuantRx each own a 50% interest in QND.  The purpose of the joint venture is to develop and commercialize products incorporating the lateral flow strip technology and related lateral flow strip readers.

 
18

 
 
The joint venture is managed by a board consisting of two QuantRx designees, two NuRx designees and an independent designee mutually selected by QuantRx and NuRx.  Subject to certain exceptions, board decisions are made by majority vote, provided that QuantRx and NuRx have veto rights with respect to certain matters. Since QuantRx does not have control of the joint venture, QuantRx accounts for the investment in QND utilizing the equity method of accounting.
 
Under the terms of the agreements, QND made a $2,000,000 cash distribution to QuantRx. QuantRx is committed to further capital contributions aggregating $1.55 million, comprised of: payment of milestone payments with PRIA Diagnostics (see Note 5 of the financial statements) in QuantRx common stock (fair value of $750,000); transfer of fixed assets with a fair value of $100,000 at QND’s discretion; and a $700,000 sustaining capital contribution as required by QND. Subsequent sustaining capital contributions will be made by QuantRx and NuRx on an equal basis.
 
QuantRx and QND also entered into a Development and Services Agreement, pursuant to which QND shall pay a monthly fee to QuantRx in exchange for QuantRx providing all services related to the development, regulatory approval and commercialization of lateral flow products.
 
QuantRx recognized a gain on the contribution of the intellectual property of $1.36 million, representing the net gain of $4.72 million from the disposition, reduced by the fair value of warrants issued to NuRx ($1.0 million) and the elimination of the portion of the intercompany gain associated with QuantRx’s 50% interest in QND ($2.36 million).
 
FluoroPharma
 
On May 5, 2009, QuantRx and FluoroPharma reorganized their relationship by terminating their investment agreement and related agreements. The termination of these agreements, which were originally executed on March 10, 2006, allowed FluoroPharma to close an equity financing with third party investors.  In conjunction with the termination of these agreements and the additional investment in FluoroPharma, QuantRx agreed to convert all outstanding receivables from FluoroPharma, consisting of previously issued notes and related accrued interest and advances in the aggregate amount of $1,568,567, into 1,148,275 shares of common stock of FluoroPharma. As a result of these transactions and the third party investment, QuantRx’s ownership interest in FluoroPharma’s issued and outstanding capital stock was reduced to a noncontrolling interest, which resulted in the deconsolidation of FluoroPharma as a subsidiary of the Company. Subsequent to the termination of the agreements between QuantRx and FluoroPharma, QuantRx has no continuing obligations or commitments to FluoroPharma.
 
At May 5, 2009, QuantRx’s remaining net basis of the investment in FluoroPharma, inclusive of receivables from FluoroPharma, was $43,286, after taking into account previously recorded losses of $5,056,304 ($231,046 in the first quarter of 2009; $272,579 through deconsolidation) related to the consolidated results of FluoroPharma. These losses have been included in our consolidated financial statements commencing April 1, 2007, the original date of consolidation, through May 4, 2009, and are net of losses allocated to the then noncontrolling (formerly minority) interests as applicable. On May 5, subsequent to the execution of the aforementioned transactions which led to the deconsolidation of FluoroPharma, QuantRx’s ownership of the outstanding capital stock of FluoroPharma was reduced to a noncontrolling interest of 45.55%. At deconsolidation the fair market value of QuantRx’s remaining noncontrolling interest in FluoroPharma was $842,876, based on the third party investment; however, FluoroPharma had a deficit equity balance, which resulted in QuantRx writing off the remaining basis in the investment of $43,286 and recording a loss from deconsolidation of $43,286. QuantRx has reflected the results of its former subsidiary as a one-line item as of January 1, 2009. QuantRx’s allocation of FluoroPharma’s net loss for the period commencing May 5, 2009 through March 31, 2010, was not recorded ($373,000), since the remaining investment in FluoroPharma had a carrying value of $0 as of the deconsolidation of FluoroPharma at May 5, 2009.

 
19

 
 
Effective May 5, 2009, our financial statements reflect our investment in FluoroPharma under the equity method of accounting. As of March 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, QuantRx owned 35.87% and 39.81%, respectively, of the issued and outstanding capital stock of FluoroPharma. However, at March 31, 2010, due to FluoroPharma’s issuance of a separate class of common stock in 2009, QuantRx held 15.79% of the voting rights of FluoroPharma.
 
On March 26, 2010, QuantRx entered into a Security Purchase Agreement with a qualified institutional buyer in which QuantRx sold 333,333 shares of FluoroPharma, Inc. class A common stock at a price of $0.75 per share for an aggregate amount of $250,000, resulting in a gain on disposition of $250,000.
 
FluoroPharma is currently seeking financing which could result in a disposition of all or a portion of QuantRx’s investment in FluoroPharma as part of a strategic transaction.
 
Consolidated Results of Operations
 
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 were $659,291 and $159,488, respectively. The increase in revenues of $499,803 is primarily due to $649,281 in related party revenues from the QND development agreement.
 
General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $302,824 and $534,732, respectively. The decrease of $231,908 is due primarily to decreased personnel expenses.
 
Professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, were $249,551 and $49,027, respectively. Professional fees include the costs of legal, consulting and auditing services provided to us. The increase of $200,524 is primarily due to increased legal and financial advisory consulting fees.
 
Research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, was $604,346 and $157,812, respectively. The increase of $446,534 is primarily due to increased consulting, personnel and supply and material expenses related to the contract development agreement with QND.
 
The Company’s net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009 was $326,248 and $1,140,127, respectively. The decreased net loss of $813,879 is primarily due to the contract development agreement with QND, a $250,000 gain on disposition of common stock of our former subsidiary, and the absence of interest expense and amortization of debt discount following the July 2009 settlement of QuantRx’s short-term notes.

 
20

 
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of March 31, 2010, QuantRx had cash and cash equivalents of $202,528, as compared to cash and cash equivalents of $376,211 as of December 31, 2009. The net decrease in cash of $173,683 for the three months ended March 31, 2010, is primarily attributable to net cash used for operating activities of $423,683 offset by $250,000 in proceeds from the sale of stock in our former subsidiary. 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.
 
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.
 
The Company has formed a strategic joint venture (See Note 3) to alleviate the funding requirements for the development and commercialization of its lateral flow based products; however, management believes that given the current economic environment and the continuing need to strengthen the Company’s cash position, there is still doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We continue to actively pursue various funding options, including equity offerings and debt financings, to obtain additional funds to continue the development of our remaining products and bring them to commercial markets. The Company is currently negotiating several potential transactions; however, there can be no assurance that we will be successful in our efforts to raise additional capital.
 
Management believes that the successful growth and operation of the Company’s business is dependent upon our ability to do any or all of the following:
 
 
·
finalize development of and commercialize products;
 
 
·
obtain adequate sources of debt or equity financing to pay unfunded operating expenses and fund certain long-term business operations until commercialization becomes profitable;
 
 
·
manage or control working capital requirements by containing operating expenses; and
 
 
·
develop new relationships with product distributors and other points of distribution for the Company’s products;
 
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.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As described above, on July 30, 2009, QuantRx formed a joint venture with NuRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc., whereby, pursuant to the terms of the LLC Agreement, each member will be required to make sustaining capital contributions from time to time as the Board of the joint venture determines is necessary.  Should the Board of the joint venture determine that additional capital contributions are required, such sustaining capital contributions will be made by QuantRx and NuRx on an equal basis provided that QuantRx solely will be responsible for making a sustaining capital contribution with respect to the first $700,000 determined to be required by the Board of the joint venture.

 
21

 
 
We have not entered into any other 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.
 
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. 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.
 
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. 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.
 
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. 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 future periods, the compensation expense that we record may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period.
 
We determine the fair value of the share-based compensation awards granted to non-employees 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 United States.
 
ITEM 4.
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, 2010.
 
(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.
