PART I

Item 1.    Description of Business.

        Certain terms used in this annual report are defined in the Glossary that follows at the end of Part I.

Company Overview

        Corgenix Medical Corporation, which we refer to as Corgenix or the Company, was incorporated in Nevada on April 22, 1994, is engaged in the research, development, manufacture, and marketing of in vitro (outside the body) diagnostic products for use in disease detection and prevention. We currently sell 52 diagnostic products on a worldwide basis to hospitals, clinical testing laboratories, universities, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies and research institutions. In the U.S. and the United Kingdom, we sell directly to these customers. Elsewhere in the world, we primarily sell to independent distributors that in turn sell to the laboratories.

        Our corporate headquarters is located in Broomfield, Colorado. We have two wholly owned operating subsidiaries:

    Corgenix, Inc. (formerly REAADS Medical Products, Inc.), established in 1990 and located in Broomfield, Colorado. Corgenix, Inc. is responsible for sales and marketing activities for North America, and also executes product development, product support, clinical and regulatory affairs, and product manufacturing.

    Corgenix (UK) Ltd, incorporated in the United Kingdom in 1996 (formerly REAADS Bio-Medical Products (UK) Limited) and located in Peterborough, England. Corgenix UK manages our international sales and marketing activities except for distribution in North America, which is the responsibility of Corgenix, Inc.

        We continue to use the REAADS trademark and trade name in the sale of products that we manufacture.

Recent Developments

        On February 3, 2009, the Company entered into two agreements (the "Agreements") to restructure the debt evidenced by convertible term notes that Truk Opportunity Fund, LLC (now known as Shelter Opportunity Fund, LLC), a Delaware company; Truk International Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands company (collectively, "Truk"); and CAMOFI Master LDC, a Cayman Islands company, formerly named DCOFI Master LDC ("CAMOFI"), purchased on May 19, 2005 and December 28, 2005. The Agreements suspended all amortizing principal amount payments otherwise due under each note, beginning November 1, 2008 and ending on the earlier of (i) the first day of the month next succeeding the closing of any new financing transaction or (ii) May 1, 2009 (the "Repayment Date"), at which time payments would again have become due and payable on the first day of each subsequent month until December 31, 2009 (the "Maturity Date"). Payments would be equal to the amount of principal outstanding divided by the number of months from the Repayment Date until the Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the amortizing principal amount for each of the term notes and all other amounts due and owing must be repaid in full, whether by payment of cash, or at Truk's or CAMOFI's option, by the conversion into common stock.

        Under the Agreements, Truk and CAMOFI agreed that their security interest in the Company's accounts receivable and inventory would only be subordinated to that of the lenders in any new financing, but that their security interest in all other assets of the Company would remain a perfected first security interest. This provision was effective upon completion of the Financing Agreement with Benefactor, summarized below. In addition, upon the closing of the Financing Agreement with

4


Table of Contents


Benefactor, the remaining principal balance of each outstanding term note held by Truk was increased by five percent (5%), and is being accounted for as additional interest expense.

        Simultaneously with the execution of the Agreements:

        (1)   the Company paid $22,466 to Truk and CAMOFI for accrued and unpaid interest from November 1, 2008 to February 3, 2009 with respect to term notes held by each;

        (2)   the Company extended the expiry dates of common stock purchase warrants held by the note-holders (warrants dated May 19, 2005 were extended to expire May 19, 2017 rather than May 19, 2012 and common stock purchase warrants dated December 28, 2005 were extended to expire December 28, 2015 rather than December 28, 2010);

        (3)   the Company issued to CAMOFI 200,000 shares of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B"), with a liquidation preference of $50,000, which will be convertible into 800,000 shares of the Company's common stock at the rate of $0.25; and

        (4)   the Company issued to Truk 36,680 shares of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, with a liquidation preference of $9,170, which will be convertible into 146,720 shares of the Company's common stock at the rate of $0.25. The calculated cost of items (2) through (4) above were charged to deferred finance costs and are being amortized over nine months through December 2009.

        On March 18, 2009, we entered into a financing agreement collateralized by all of the assets of the Company (the "Financing Agreement") with Benefactor Funding Corp., a Colorado corporation ("Benefactor"). We used the initial proceeds of $800,374 to retire the debt evidenced by convertible term notes that CAMOFI (referenced above) purchased on May 19, 2005 and December 28, 2005. We also used the proceeds to retire fifty percent of the debt evidenced by the convertible term notes that Truk purchased on December 28, 2005, leaving the notes purchased by Truk on May 19, 2005 outstanding. As a result, the proceeds from the Financing Agreement were used to retire 92.3% of the then currently outstanding convertible debt. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Corgenix, Inc. has also entered into a financing agreement with Benefactor on substantially similar terms as the Financing Agreement. The Company and Corgenix Inc. guaranty each other's obligations to Benefactor.

        Under the Financing Agreement, the Company agreed to sell all of the Company's right, title and interest in and to specified accounts and all merchandise represented by those accounts.

        Under the Financing Agreement, which also included a $250,000 advance collateralized by the Company's inventories, the purchase price for each sold account is equal to (i) 85% of the face amount of the account (that figure is 95% for the first 60 days of the Agreement's term) less certain fees and commissions set forth in the Agreement. The commission rate is 1.4% of the face amount of the underlying account (the "Commission"). The Company will pay Benefactor no "fee" for the first thirty days of an account's term, and then will pay .05% of the account's face amount for each day thereafter (the "Benefactor Fee"). We have agreed to sell at least $300,000 in face amount of accounts receivable for each month that the Financing Agreement is in effect. If the minimum is not met, the Company must pay, for each such month, 1.4% times $300,000 less the actual amount of receivables sold.

        Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, certain recourse events and events of default will trigger early payment obligations of the Company, and Benefactor has certain rights as a secured party in case of any default or recourse event. One feature that secures the Company's obligations is the "Reserve Account." The operation of the Reserve Account is outlined in the Financing Agreement.

        Under the Financing Agreement, we make certain covenants, representations and warranties typical of a secured financing arrangement, and have agreed to report certain information to Benefactor.

Table of Contents

        The Financing Agreement will continue in full force and effect for a period of 12 months; however the Company may terminate the Financing Agreement early at any time by giving Benefactor not less than sixty days prior written notice, and Benefactor may terminate the Financing Agreement early at any time without notice should any event of default or recourse event occur.

Our Business

    Introduction

        Our business includes the research, development, manufacture, and marketing of in vitro diagnostic products for use in disease detection and prevention. We currently sell 52 diagnostic products on a worldwide basis to hospitals, clinical testing laboratories, universities, biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies and research institutions. We have developed and we manufacture most of our products at our Colorado facility, and we purchase what we refer to as OM (Other Manufacturers') products from other healthcare manufacturers for resale by us. All of these products are used in clinical laboratories for the diagnosis and/or monitoring of three important areas of health care:

    Autoimmune disease (diseases in which an individual creates antibodies to one's self, for example systemic lupus erythematosus ("SLE") and rheumatoid arthritis ("RA"));

    Vascular disease (diseases associated with certain types of thrombosis or clot formation, for example antiphospholipid syndrome, deep vein thrombosis, stroke and coronary occlusion); and

    Liver diseases (fibrosis, and cirrhosis).

        In addition to our current products, we are actively developing new laboratory tests in other important diagnostic testing areas. See "—Other Strategic Relationships." We manufacture and market to clinical laboratories and other testing sites worldwide. Our customers include large and emerging health care companies such as diaDexus, Inc., Bio Rad Laboratories, Inc., Instrumentation Laboratories, Helena Laboratories and Diagnostic Grifols, S.A.

        Most of our products are based on our patented and proprietary application of Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay, or ELISA, technology, a clinical testing methodology commonly used worldwide. Most of our current products are based on this platform technology in a delivery format convenient for clinical testing laboratories. The delivery format, which is referred to as "Microplate," allows the testing of up to 96 samples per plate, and is one of the most commonly used formats, employing conventional testing equipment found in virtually all clinical laboratories. The availability and broad acceptance of ELISA Microplate products reduces entry barriers worldwide for our new products that employ this technology and delivery format. Our products are sold as "test kits" that include all of the materials required to perform the test, except for routine laboratory chemicals and instrumentation. A test using ELISA technology involves a series of reagent additions into the Microplate, triggering a complex immunological reaction in which a resulting color occurs. The amount of color developed in the final step of the test is directly proportional to the amount of the specific marker being tested for in the patient or unknown sample. The amount of color is measured and the results calculated using routine laboratory instrumentation. Our technology specifies a process by which biological materials are attached to the fixed surface of a diagnostic test platform. Products developed using this unique attachment method typically demonstrate a more uniform and stable molecular configuration, providing a longer average shelf life, increased accuracy and superior specificity than the products of our competitors.

        Some of the OM products which we obtain from other manufacturers and sell through our distribution network utilize technologies other than our patented and proprietary ELISA technology.

        Our diagnostic tests are intended to aid in the identification of the causes of illness and disease, enabling a physician to select appropriate patient therapy.

Table of Contents

        Internally and through collaborative arrangements, we are developing additional products that are intended to broaden the range of applications for our existing products and to result in the introduction of new products, such as AtherOx and AspirinWorks.

        Since 1990, our sales force and distribution partners have sold over 12 million tests worldwide under the REAADS and Corgenix labels, as well as products sold under other manufacturers' labels, referred to as OEM products. An integral part of our strategy is to work with corporate partners to develop market opportunities and access important resources. We believe that our relationships with current and potential partners will enable us to enhance our menu of diagnostic products and accelerate our ability to penetrate the worldwide markets for new products.

        We currently use the REAADS and Corgenix trademarks and trade names in the sale of the products which we manufacture. These products constitute the majority of our product sales.

    Industry Overview

        In vitro diagnostic, or IVD, testing is the process of analyzing the components of a wide variety of body fluids outside of the body to identify the presence of markers for diseases or other human health conditions. The worldwide human health IVD market consists of reference laboratory and hospital laboratory testing, testing in physician offices and the emerging over-the-counter market, in which testing is done at home by the consumer.

        Traditionally, diagnostic testing has been performed in large, high-volume commercial or hospitalbased laboratories using instruments operated by skilled technicians. Our products in a Microplate format are designed for such instrumentation and are marketed to these types of laboratories. The instrumentation and supportive equipment required to use our ELISA tests is relatively simple, and typically is used by a laboratory for many different products.

        The IVD industry has undergone major consolidation over the last few years. As a result, the industry is characterized by a small number of large companies or divisions of large companies that manufacture and sell numerous diagnostic products incorporating a variety of technologies. Even given the industry consolidation mentioned above, there continues to be many small diagnostic companies, which generally have limited resources to commercialize new products. As a result of technological fragmentation and customer support requirements, we believe that there may be a substantial competitive advantage for companies with unique and differentiated technologies that can be used to generate a broad menu of diagnostic products and that have developed successful customer support systems.

    Strategy

        Our primary objective is to apply our proprietary ELISA technology to the development and commercialization of products for use in a variety of markets. Our strategies for achieving this objective include the following:

    Apply our ELISA Technology to Additional Diagnostic Markets.  We have focused our resources on the development of highly accurate tests in the Microplate format for sale to clinical testing laboratories. We believe we can expand our market focus with the addition of new tests that are complementary to the current product line.

    In fiscal 2009 our IgG anti-Atherox test kit received FDA clearance and completed or made significant progress in the product development programs of several diagnostic products.

    Leverage Sales and Marketing Resources.  We maintain a small marketing and sales organization, which is experienced in selling diagnostic tests into the laboratory market. We plan to expand this sales organization, adding distribution channels as opportunities arise. We also plan to

7


Table of Contents

      pursue the expansion of our product menu with more high value, quality products through internal development, acquisition or licensing of complementary products and technologies.

      In fiscal 2008, we added additional sales and marketing management in our U.S. and European organization. In fiscal 2009, we maintained the same level of sales and marketing management in our U.S. and European organization as in 2008.

    Continue to Develop Strategic Alliances to Leverage Company Resources.  We have developed, and will continue to pursue, strategic alliances to access complementary resources (such as proprietary markers, funding, marketing expertise and research and development assistance), to leverage our technology, expand our product menu and maximize the use of our sales force.

    In fiscal 2009, we made significant advances on several existing partnership programs, and have identified several new opportunities for fiscal 2010.

    Expand into Additional Market Segments for Existing Products.  We intend to investigate additional market opportunities for both clinical and research applications of our existing products.

    Several of our products are already being sold into new market areas, and the current strategic programs have all been selected due to their potential opportunities to provide us access to more significant markets.

    Products and Markets

        We currently sell ELISA tests in major markets worldwide. To date, our sales force and distribution partners have sold over 12 million tests since we first received product marketing clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") for the first anti-cardiolipin antibody test in 1990. Many peer reviewed medical publications, abstracts and symposia have been presented on the favorable technical differentiation of our tests over competitive products.

        To extend the product offering for current product lines, and to complement our premiumpriced, existing assays, we plan to add products from strategic partners. Our current product menu, commercialized under the trademarks "REAADS" and "Corgenix," includes the following:

    Autoimmune Disease Products

        Our ELISA Autoimmune Disease Product line consists of twenty-one products, including tests for antinuclear antibodies (ANA) screening, dsDNA, Sm, SM/RNP, SSA, SSB, Jo-1, Scl-70, Histones, Centromere, Mitochondria, MPO, PR3, Thyroglobulin, LKM-1, anti Ribosomal P, BP-180, DSG-1, DSG-3, anti-polymer antibodies and thyroid peroxidase. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, these products represented approximately 2.5% of our total product sales.

        We manufacture two of these products; the remainder are manufactured for us by other companies and sold by us through our distribution network. The products are used for the diagnosis and monitoring of autoimmune diseases, including RA, SLE, Mixed Connective Tissue Disease, Sjogren's Syndrome, Dermatopolymyositis and Scleroderma.

        These autoimmune disease products are formatted in the ELISA Microplate format, and are differentiated from the competition by their user convenience. Historically, diagnostic tests utilized antiquated technologies that presented significant limitations for the clinical laboratory environment, including greater labor requirements and the need for a subjective interpretation of the results. Our ELISA autoimmune tests overcome these technology shortfalls, permitting a clinical laboratory to automate its tests, lowering the laboratory's labor costs as well as providing objectivity to test result interpretation.

    Vascular Disease; Antiphospholipid Antibody Testing Products

        We manufacture and market eleven products for antiphospholipid antibody testing, which in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 represented approximately 46.3% of our total product sales. These include: aCL IgG, aCL IgA, aCL IgM; anti-phosphatidylserine ("aPS") IgG, aPS IgA, aPS IgM; anti-ß2-Glycoprotein I ("aß2GPI") IgG, aß2GPI IgA, and aß2GPI IgM; and anti-Prothrombin ("aPT") IgG and IgM.

        ELISA technology is typically used to measure the antibodies directed against membrane anionic phospholipids (i.e., negatively charged molecules such as cardiolipin and phosphatidylserine) or their associated plasma proteins, predominantly beta-2 glycoprotein 1). Antiphospholipid antibodies are associated with the presence of both venous and arterial thrombosis (clotting), thrombocytopenia (low platelet count that can result in bleeding), and recurrent miscarriage. These auto antibodies are frequently found in patients with systemic lupus erythematosis (SLE), Lupus and other autoimmune diseases, as well as in some individuals with no apparent previous underlying disease.

        These antibodies are also found in patients with antiphospholipid syndrome, an important medical condition with serious clinical manifestations such as chronic and recurrent venous (deep vein) thrombosis, as well as arterial thromboembolic disease, including heart attacks, strokes and pulmonary embolism. Thrombocytopenia has been attributed to the temporary removal of platelets from circulation during a thrombotic episode (clot formation).

    Vascular Disease: Bleeding/Clotting Risk Factors

        We market twenty tests for bleeding and clotting risk factors, which in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, represented approximately 21.8% of our total product sales. We manufacture five products, and fifteen others are manufactured for us by other companies. Specialized tests include: Protein C Antigen ELISA, Protein S Antigen ELISA, Monoclonal Free Protein S ELISA, von Willebrand Factor Antigen ELISA, von Willebrand Factor Activity Test; abp Ristocetin, PIFA (HIT/PF4 rapid assay) and Collagen Binding Assay. Corgenix UK also distributes twelve OM products for routine coagulation testing.

        These products are useful in the diagnosis of certain clotting and bleeding disorders including von Willebrand's Disease (Hemophilia B).

        Hemostasis (the normal stable condition in which there is neither excessive bleeding nor excessive clotting) is maintained in the body by the complex interaction of the endothelial cells of blood vessels, coagulation cells such as platelets, coagulation factors, lipids (cholesterol) and antibodies (autoantibodies). All play important roles in maintaining this hemostasis. In clinical situations in which an individual demonstrates excessive clotting or bleeding, a group of laboratory tests is typically performed to assess the source of the disorder using the products that we market.

    AspirinWorks

        The AspirinWorks® Test Kit is a simple urine test that measures an individual's response to aspirin dosage and allows physicians to adjust the dosage or recommend alternative therapy. AspirinWorks® sales represented approximately 1.8% of our total product sales. Recent reports indicate that up to 25% of individuals may be non-responsive to aspirin's benefits, and are more than three times more likely to die from heart disease.

    Liver Disease Products

        We manufacture a test to quantitate hyaluronic acid ("Hyaluronic Acid" or "HA") in a Microplate format which in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 represented approximately 12.0% of our total product sales. The product was distributed through the Chugai distribution network in Japan from 1996

9


Table of Contents

to 2002, and has been distributed through Corgenix UK in the United Kingdom since 1998. On June 30, 2001, we signed a license agreement with Chugai (later assigned to Fujirebio) whereby we have co-exclusive rights to manufacture and market the HA product worldwide except in Japan. On December 12, 2008, the HA License Agreement was amended and extended until the expiration of all of the patents related to the HA License Agreement. See "—Chugai (Fujirebio) Strategic Relationship."

        Hyaluronic Acid is a component of the matrix of connective tissues, found in synovial fluid of the joints where it acts as a lubricant and for water retention. It is produced in the synovial membrane and leaks into the circulation via the lymphatic system where it is quickly removed by specific receptors located in the liver. Increased serum levels of HA have been described in patients with rheumatoid arthritis due to increased production from synovial inflammation, and in patients with liver disease, particularly Hepatitis C, due to interference with the removal mechanism. Patients with cirrhosis will have the highest serum HA levels, which correlate with the degree of liver involvement. In fiscal 2009, all of the patents related to the HA License Agreement expired except for one patent in Canada which expires in 2010.

    Technology

        Our ELISA application technology was developed to provide the clinical laboratory with a more sensitive, specific, and objective technology to measure clinically relevant antibodies in patient serum samples. High levels of these antibodies are frequently found in individuals suffering from various immunological diseases, and their serologic determination is useful not only for specific diagnosis but also for assessing disease activity and/or response to treatment. To accomplish these objectives, our current product line applies the ELISA technology in a 96-Microplate format as a delivery system. ELISA provides a solid surface to which purified antigens are attached, allowing their interaction with specific auto antibodies during incubation. This antigen-antibody interaction is then objectively measured by reading the intensity of color generated by an enzyme-conjugated secondary antibody and a chemical substrate added to the system.

        Our technology overcomes two basic problems seen in many other ELISA systems. First, the material coated onto the plate can be consistently coated without causing significant alteration of the molecular structure (which ensures maintenance of immunologic reactivity), and the stability of these coated antigens on the surface can be maintained (which provides a product shelf life acceptable for commercial purposes). Our proprietary immunoassay technology is useful in the manufacture of ELISA tests for the detection of many analytes (target molecules) for the diagnosis and management of immunological diseases.

        Our technology results in products generally demonstrating performance characteristics that exceed those of competitive testing procedures. Many testing laboratories worldwide subscribe to external quality control systems or programs conducted by independent, third-party organizations. These programs typically involve the laboratory receiving unknown test samples on a routine basis, performing certain diagnostic tests on the samples, and providing results of their testing to the third party. Reports are then provided by the third party that tells the testing laboratory how it compares to other testing laboratories in the program. Several of our products are included in laboratory surveys periodically conducted by unaffiliated entities, and our products routinely demonstrate good performance and/or reproducibility when compared to other manufacturers included in such survey. Examples of such surveys include the April 2009 College of America Pathologists (CAP) survey and the UKNEQAS (UK National External Quality Assessment Service).

        Our products typically require less hands-on time by laboratory personnel as compared to most other ELISA assays and provide an objective, quantitative or semi-quantitative interpretation to improve and standardize the clinical significance of results. We believe that our proprietary technology will continue to be the mainstay for our future diagnostic products. Most of the products in development will incorporate our basic technology.

        Additional technologies may be required for some of the newly identified tests. We believe that, in addition to internal expertise, most technology and delivery system requirements would be available through joint venture or licensing arrangements or through acquisition.

    Delivery Systems

        Most of our current products employ the Microplate delivery system using ELISA technology. This format is universally accepted in clinical laboratory testing and requires routine equipment currently available in most clinical labs.

    Sales and Marketing

        We primarily market and sell our diagnostic products to the clinical laboratory market, both hospital based and free standing laboratories. We utilize a diverse distribution program for our products. Our labeled products are sold directly to testing laboratories in the U.S. through sales representatives (both employees and independent contractors). Internationally, our labeled products are sold through established diagnostic companies in Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Denmark, and through sales representatives in Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Hungary, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Kuwait, Lebanon, Malaysia, Mexico, The Netherlands, Norway, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Thailand, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Uruguay. We are continually seeking opportunities which will provide access to additional markets worldwide. Our agreements with international distribution partners are on terms that are generally terminable by us if the distributor fails to achieve certain sales targets. Either the Company or the respective distributor, given the occurrence of certain events, has the right, by giving written notice to the other party, to terminate the distribution agreement. We have also established private label product agreements with several U.S. and European companies. We have international distribution headquarters in the United Kingdom and will add direct commercialization and distribution in selected additional countries as appropriate. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, international sales represented approximately 29.0% of the Company's total sales.

        We have an active marketing and promotion program for our diagnostic testing products. We publish technical and marketing promotional materials, which we distribute to current and potential customers. We attend major industry trade shows and conferences, and our scientific staff actively publishes articles and technical abstracts in peer review journals.

    Manufacturing

        The manufacturing process for our products utilizes a semi-automated production line for the manufacturing, assembly and packaging of our ELISA Microplate products. Our current production capacity is 28,800 tests per day with a single eight-hour shift. Since 1990, we have successfully produced over 12 million tests in our Colorado facility, and we expect that current manufacturing capability will be sufficient to meet expected customer demand for the foreseeable future.

        Our manufacturing operations are fully integrated and consist of raw material purification, reagent and Microplate processing, filling, labeling, packaging and distribution. We have considerable experience in manufacturing our products using our proprietary technology. We expect increases in the demand for our products and have prepared plans to increase our manufacturing capability to meet that increased demand. We also maintain an ongoing investigation of scale-up opportunities for manufacturing to meet future requirements. We anticipate that production costs will decline as more products are added to the product menu in the future, permitting us to achieve greater economies of scale as higher volumes are attained. We have registered our facility with the FDA.

    Quality System Regulations Requirements For Our Products

        In April 1999, we received ISO 9001:1994 certification from TUV Product Service GmbH, a world leader in medical device testing and certification. ISO 9001 represents the international standard for quality management systems developed by the International Organization for Standardization, or ISO, to facilitate global commerce. To ensure continued compliance with the rigorous standards of ISO 9001, companies must undergo regularly scheduled assessments and re-certification every year. The ISO 9001 initiative is an important component in its commitment to maintain excellence. Corgenix received re-certification in November 1999 and 2000, and in July 2002, received EN ISO 9001:1996, and EN ISO 13485:2000 certification through TUV Rhineland of North America. We have been re-certified annually since 2002. In fiscal 2008, we certified to ISO 13485:2003.

    Corgenix's Manufacturing Process Starts With the Qualification Of Raw Materials

        Our manufacturing process starts with the qualification of raw materials. The microplates are then coated and bulk solutions prepared. The components and the microplates are checked for ability to meet pre-established specifications by our quality control department. If required, adjustments in the bulk solutions are made to provide optimal performance and lot-to-lot consistency. The bulk solutions are then dispensed and packaged into planned component configurations. The final packaging step in the manufacturing process includes kit assembly, where all materials are packaged into finished product. The finished kit undergoes one final performance test by our quality control department. Before product release for sale, our quality assurance department must verify that all quality control testing and manufacturing processes have been completed, documented and have met all performance specifications.

        The majority of raw materials and purchased components used to manufacture our products are readily available. We have established good working relationships with primary vendors, particularly those that supply unique or critical components for our products. The components of our products include chemical, biological and packaging supplies that are generally available from several suppliers, except certain antibodies and other critical components, which we purchase from single suppliers. We mitigate the risk of a loss of supply by maintaining a sufficient supply of such antibodies to ensure an uninterrupted supply for at least three months. We have also qualified second vendors for all critical raw materials and believe that we can substitute a new supplier with respect to any of these components in a timely manner. If, for some reason, we lose our main supplier for a given material, there can be no assurances that we will be able to substitute a new supplier in a timely manner and failure to do so could impair the manufacturing of certain of our products and thus have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

        Approximately 29.0% of our product revenues are derived from sales outside of the U.S. International regulatory bodies often establish varying regulations governing product standards, packaging and labeling requirements, import restrictions, tariff regulations, duties and tax requirements. To demonstrate our commitment to quality in the international marketplace, we obtained ISO certification and have "CE" marked all of our products as required by the European In Vitro Diagnostic Directive 98/79/EC.

        Since 1990, we have entered into several contract manufacturing agreements with other companies whereby we manufacture specific products for the partner company. We expect to continue investigating and evaluating opportunities for additional agreements.

    Chugai (Fujirebio) Strategic Relationship

        The relationship between Corgenix and Chugai Diagnostics Science Co., Ltd. ("CDS") was established in June 1993. In September 2002, CDS was merged into Fujirebio, Inc., a large Japanese

12


Table of Contents

Company based in Tokyo, Japan. Currently, except for the ongoing HA License Agreement described below, there are no sales to or operations related to Fujirebio.

        HA License Agreement.    On June 30, 2001, Corgenix and Chugai executed a license agreement, which we refer to as the HA License Agreement, with Chugai Diagnostic Science, Co., Ltd., a Tokyo based pharmaceutical company that subsequently merged into Fujirebio, Inc., a large Japanese diagnostic company based in Tokyo and a leader in the field of immunoserology. Corgenix was granted co-exclusive worldwide rights to manufacture and market the HA product (except in Japan). The HA License Agreement was initially for a five-year period with certain extension rights. On December 12, 2008, the HA License Agreement was amended and extended until the expiration of all of the patents related to the HA License Agreement. The HA License Agreement establishes certain performance requirements for Corgenix, and provides early cancellation of exclusivity if Corgenix does not meet those performance goals. The HA License Agreement is the only international distribution right currently granted by Chugai to Corgenix, and was formally assumed by Fujirebio. In fiscal 2009, all of the patents related to the HA License Agreement expired, except for one patent in Canada which expires in 2010.

    Other Strategic Relationships

        An integral part of our strategy has been, and will continue to be, entering into strategic alliances as a means of accessing unique technologies or resources or developing specific markets. The primary aspects of our corporate partnering strategy with regards to strategic affiliations include:

    Companies that are interested in co-developing diagnostic tests that use our technology;

    Companies with complementary technologies;

    Companies with complementary products and novel disease markers; and/or

    Companies with access to distribution channels that supplement our existing distribution channels.

        In furtherance of the foregoing strategies, we maintain a revenueproducing strategic relationship with Medical & Biological Laboratories Co., Ltd., ("MBL"). MBL is a medical diagnostic company located in Nagoya, Japan. In March 2002, we signed a distribution agreement with RhiGene, Inc., a Des Plaines, Illinois based company and wholly owned subsidiary of MBL, which granted us exclusive rights to distribute RhiGene's complete diagnostic line of autoimmune testing products in North and South America. The arrangement also provided us with rights to certain other international markets. In July 2002, MBL made a $500,000 strategic investment in the common stock of our Company. As part of the investment agreement, MBL has warrants to purchase additional shares of our common stock for a total potential investment of $1,000,000.

        On March 31, 2005, our distribution agreement with RhiGene expired, and we signed a new distribution and OEM Supply Agreement with MBL International, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of MBL ("MBLI"), which grants us non-exclusive rights to distribute MBL's complete diagnostic line of autoimmune testing products in the U.S. and exclusive distribution rights to the OEM label products worldwide, excluding the U.S., Japan, Korea and Taiwan. In addition, on August 1, 2005 the Company and MBL executed an Amendment to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Common Stock Purchase Warrant wherein one-half, or 440,141, of the original redeemable shares were exchanged for a three-year promissory note payable with interest at prime plus two percent (5.25% as of June 30, 2009) with payments having commenced in September, 2005. As of June 30, 2009, a total of 414,833 shares have been returned to us pursuant to the two notes payable. The shares exchanged for the promissory note will be returned to us quarterly on a pro rata basis as payments are made on the promissory note. The remaining 440,141 shares not covered by the promissory note were originally due to be redeemed by us at $0.568 per share on August 1, 2009 for any shares still owned at that time by MBL but only to

Table of Contents

the extent that MBL has not realized at least $250,000 in gross proceeds upon the sale of its redeemable shares in the open market for the time period August 1, 2006 through August 30, 2009. Finally, the warrants originally issued to MBL to purchase 880,282 shares were initially extended to August 31, 2009 and re-priced from $0.568 per share to $0.40 per share.

        As of July 15, 2008, the Company reached agreement with MBL to amend certain provisions of our February 1, 2005 Exclusive Distribution Agreement, entered into a Memorandum of Understanding Regarding AspirinWorks Distribution Rights in Japan, and executed a Second Amendment to Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Warrant. These new agreements and amendments add certain products and transfer prices, call for the discussion of terms whereby MBL would be granted a worldwide OEM agreement for certain of the products in a designated territory, call for the payment by Corgenix of royalties on certain proprietary products, which include proprietary technology of MBL, and call for the negotiation of terms of an exclusive distribution agreement for sales of AspirinWorks in Japan. In addition, the Company and MBL, pursuant to the Second Amendment to Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Warrant, agreed that the warrant term will be extended to August 1, 2010 and that one-half, or 220,070, of the remaining 440,171 redeemable shares were exchanged for a two-year promissory note payable with interest at prime plus two percent (3.25% as of June 30, 2009) with payments having commenced September 1, 2008. The applicable prime rate is adjusted on a monthly basis. Based on our recalculations of the fair value of the extended term warrants, we determined that the newly calculated value of said warrants did not materially increase in value as a result of this modification, and therefore, no adjustment to our financial statements was considered necessary. The shares exchanged for the promissory note will be returned to the Company quarterly on a pro rata basis as payments are made on the promissory note. As of June 30, 2009, a total of 414,833 shares have been returned to us pursuant to the two notes payable. The companies further agreed that beginning September 1, 2008, and continuing through August 1, 2010 (the maturity date of the Second Promissory Note), MBL will attempt to sell on the open market, the remaining 220,071 shares not subject to the Second Promissory Note, at a price of $0.62 or greater. At the close of business on August 1, 2010, MBL will then have the right to sell, and Corgenix will have the obligation to purchase, any remaining stock then held by MBL, at a price of $0.568 per share.

        We have established OEM agreements with several international diagnostic companies, which in fiscal 2009 represented approximately 10.4% of our total sales. Under some of these agreements, we manufacture selected products in the same configuration as the Company's own products, under the partner's label for worldwide distribution. In other OEM agreements, the Company manufactures diagnostic kits according to the partner's unique specifications under the partner's label.

    Research and Development

        We direct our research and development efforts towards development of new products on our proprietary platform ELISA technology in the Microplate format, as well as applying our technology to automated laboratory testing systems. In that regard, we have organized our research and development effort into three major areas: (i) new product development, (ii) technology assessment, and (iii) technical and product support.

        Our technical staff evaluates the performance of reagents (prepared internally or purchased commercially), creates working prototypes of potential products, performs internal studies, participates in clinical trials, manufactures pilot lots of new products, establishes validated methods that can be manufactured consistently, creates documentation required for manufacturing and testing of new products, and collaborates with our quality assurance department to satisfy regulatory requirements and support regulatory clearance. They are responsible for assessing the performance of new technologies along with determining the technical feasibility of market introduction, and investigating the patent/license issues associated with new technologies.

14


Table of Contents

        Our technical staff is responsible for supporting current products on the market through scientific investigation, and is responsible for design transfer to manufacturing of all new products developed. They assess the performance and validate all externally-sourced products in order to confirm that these products meet our performance and quality standards.

        The technical staff includes individuals skilled in immunology, assay development, protein biochemistry, biochemistry and basic sciences. We maintain facilities to support our development efforts at the Broomfield, Colorado headquarters. Group leaders are also skilled in planning and project management under FDA-mandated design control. See "—Regulation."

        During fiscal 2009 and 2008, we spent $753,523 and $666,664, respectively, for research and development. This increase primarily involved increases in the costs of clinical studies and travel expenses, partially offset by decreases in labor-related expenses, legal fees, laboratory supplies and product testing expense. Of the fiscal 2009 expenses, approximately 99.3% of the expenditures for research and development expenses were internal expenditures exclusive of outside consultant and legal fees. In fiscal 2010, we expect expenditures for research and development to be approximately the same amount as they were in fiscal 2009. Research and development contract revenue (specific product development programs funded by a strategic partner) amounted to $221,038 and $238,670 for the 2009 and 2008 fiscal years ended June 30, respectively. The contract revenue in both fiscal years was derived from the Lasa Virus program mentioned below.

    Products and Technology in Development

        We intend to expand our product menu through internal development, development in collaboration with strategic partners and acquisition and/or licensing of new products and technologies. We are currently working with partners to develop additional tests to supplement the existing product lines. The following summarizes our current product and technology development programs:

    Vascular Disease Testing Products

        We are one of the market leaders in development of innovative tests in the antiphospholipid market, and expect to continue developing products in this area to ensure our ongoing strong market position. For the past six years, we have been developing products in the area of Oxidized LDL, a technology that assesses arterial thrombosis and atherosclerosis. Our technology, which we have trademarked "AtherOx," has the potential to significantly alter the standard of lipoprotein testing and cardiovascular risk assessment. Product development for three products has been completed, and those products launched into the international markets. We filed the initial application with the FDA in March 2008. In July 2008, the Company submitted a 510(k) Premarket Notification to the FDA for the Company's Anti-AtheroOx™ Test Kit and it was cleared by the FDA in April 2009. See "—Regulation". This new laboratory test utilizes the Company's patented AtherOx technology to IgG antibodies to complexes formed by oxidized low-density lipoprotein (oxLDL) with beta2-glycoprotein 1 (beta2GP1) in individuals with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus-like disorders (antiphospholipid syndrome).

    Fibromyalgia

        We are in the later development and regulatory submission stages for a unique assay for testing patients with fibromyalgia. The assay detects antibodies to polymers, which are present in a high percentage of patients suffering from fibromyalgia, also referred to as "chronic pain syndrome." We expect Autoimmune Technologies, LLC, our strategic partner, will continue clinical studies in fiscal 2010. The time-frame for the filing of a pre-market approval application with the FDA has yet to be determined.

    Aspirin Effectiveness

        We have established a strategic collaboration with Creative Clinical Concepts, Inc. ("CCC") and McMaster University in the development and marketing of an assay to assess the effect of aspirin on platelets which may prove to be very useful in the prevention of cardiac disease. We filed applications with the FDA for this product, trademarked "AspirinWorks" in July 2006 and it was cleared by the FDA in May 2008.

    Lassa Virus Program

        We have established a strategic collaboration with Autoimmune, Biofactura, Inc. ("Biofactura"), the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases ("USAMRIID") and Tulane University ("Tulane") to develop a group of products to detect several old world and new world viruses identified as potential bio-terrorism agents. The work is being done under a grant from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ("NIAID") over a three-year period which began in September 2006. On July 10, 2009, we announced an expansion of the collaborative effort for developing test kits for viral hemorrhagic fever (VHF) detection.

    Competition

        Competition in the human medical diagnostics industry is significant. Our competitors range from development stage diagnostics companies to major domestic and international pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Many of these companies have financial, technical, marketing, sales, manufacturing, distribution and other resources significantly greater than we do. In addition, many of these companies have name recognition, established positions in the market and long standing relationships with customers and distributors. The diagnostics industry continues to experience significant consolidation in which many of the large domestic and international healthcare companies have been acquiring mid-sized diagnostics companies, further increasing the concentration of resources. However, competition in diagnostic medicine remains highly fragmented, with no company holding a dominant position in autoimmune or vascular diseases. There can be no assurance that new, superior technologies will not be introduced that could be directly competitive with or superior to our technologies.

        Our primary competitors include Inova Diagnostics, Inc., DIASORIN, Diagnostica Stago, American Bioproducts, Helena Laboratories Corporation (an existing licensee of Corgenix technology), Hemagen Diagnostics, The Binding Site and IVAX Diagnostics (Diamedix). We compete against these companies and others on the basis of product performance, customer service, and price.

    Patents, Trade Secrets and Trademarks

        The REAADS Technology Patent.    We have built a strong patent and intellectual property position around our proprietary application of ELISA technology, which is used in a majority of our existing products. We hold one U.S. patent (Lopez, et al. "Method and diagnostic test kit for detection of anti-dsdna antibodies") which covers the critical manufacturing step in the majority of our existing ELISA products. This patent expires in 2010.

        The Hyaluronic Acid Technology Patents.    The HA product has been protected by U.S., Japanese and European patents held by Chugai (Fujirebio). As part of the agreements with Chugai and assumed by Fujirebio, we have a license to use the Chugai patents to manufacture this product for worldwide distribution, and marketing rights worldwide except Japan. All patents have expired except the Canadian patent which expires in 2010. See "—Chugai (Fujirebio) Strategic Relationship."

        The AtherOx Technology Patents.    Through a Japanese collaboration, we have exclusive worldwide rights (except Japan) for the clinical testing market using the unique AtherOx technology. To date, we

16


Table of Contents


have one U.S. patent with respect to the AtherOx technology, and have several U.S. and European patents pending.

        The Antipolymer Antibody Patents.    The antipolymer (APA) assay which we have developed and are marketing worldwide in collaboration with our strategic partner Autoimmune Technologies, LLC, is covered by an extensive group of worldwide patents and patents pending owned by Tulane University, which has granted Autoimmune Technologies exclusive worldwide rights. These rights expire the later of ten years after the first commercial sale in each country or the expiration of the respective country patent. We do not have any distribution rights for this product. All sales have been to the patent holder, Autoimmune Technologies, LLC for use in their clinical studies.

        Aspirin Effectiveness Technology Patents.    Products in development with our strategic partner CCC are covered by a group of worldwide patents pending owned by McMaster University which has granted Corgenix and CCC exclusive worldwide rights. In July 2008, the first of the U.S, patents was issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark office. The U.S. patent was approved for this technology in August 2006.

        Patent applications in the U.S. are maintained in secrecy until patents are issued. There can be no assurance that our patents, and any patents that may be issued to us in the future, will afford protection against competitors with similar technology. In addition, no assurances can be given that the patents issued to us will not be infringed upon or designed around by others or that others will not obtain patents that we would need to license or design around. If the courts uphold existing or future patents containing broad claims over technology used by us, the holders of such patents could require us to obtain licenses to use such technology. In fiscal 2009, the Company did not incur any costs to defend our patents. See "Part II. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis—Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors—Uncertainty of Protection of Patents, Trade Secrets and Trademarks."

        We have registered our trademark "REAADS" on the principal federal trademark register and with the trademark registries in many countries of the world and it will expire September 28, 2017. The trademark "Corgenix" was approved in September 2000 and will expire October 30, 2010. Finally, we have registered the trademark AtherOx, and it will expire January 8, 2018.

        Where appropriate, we intend to obtain patent protection for our products and processes. We also rely on trade secrets and proprietary know-how in our manufacturing processes. We require each of our employees, consultants and advisors to execute a confidentiality agreement upon the commencement of any employment, consulting or advisory relationship with us. Each agreement provides that all confidential information developed or made known to the individual during the course of the relationship will be kept confidential and not be disclosed to third parties except in specified circumstances. In the case of employees, the agreements provide that all inventions conceived of by an employee shall be the exclusive property of the Company.

        The majority of our product sales, approximately 84% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 and 82% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, were products that utilized our proprietary technology and marketed under our REAADS trademark.

    Regulation

        The testing, manufacturing and sale of our products are subject to regulation by numerous governmental authorities, and principally the FDA and foreign regulatory agencies. The FDA regulates the clinical testing, manufacture, labeling, distribution and promotion of medical devices, which includes diagnostic products. We are limited in our ability to commence marketing or selling any new diagnostic products in the U.S. until clearance is received from the FDA. In addition, various foreign countries in which our products are or may be sold impose local regulatory requirements. The preparation and

17


Table of Contents

filing of documentation for FDA and foreign regulatory review can be a lengthy, expensive and uncertain process.

        In the U.S., medical devices are classified by the FDA into one of three classes (Class I, II or III) on the basis of the controls deemed reasonably necessary by the FDA to ensure their safety and effectiveness. Class I devices are subject to general controls such as labeling, pre-market notification and adherence to Quality System Regulations, or QSR requirements. Class II devices are subject to general and special controls (e.g., performance standards, post-market surveillance, patient registries and FDA guidelines). Generally, Class III devices are those that must receive pre-market approval by the FDA to ensure their safety and effectiveness such as life-sustaining, life-supporting and implantable devices or new devices that have been found not to be substantially equivalent to legally marketed devices. All of our current products and products under development are or are expected to be classified as Class II or Class III devices.

        Before a new device can be introduced in the market, we must obtain either FDA clearance or approval, depending on FDA guidelines, through either clearance of a 510(k) pre-market notification or approval of a pre market approval application, which is a more extensive and costly application when compared to a pre-market notification, due to the requirements for more extensive clinical trials, etc. All of our products have been cleared using a 510(k) application, and we expect that most future products will also qualify for clearance using a 510(k) application (as described in Section 510(k) of the Medical Device Amendments to the F D & C Act of 1938).

        Historically, we have been able to obtain 510(k) pre-market clearance in less than 90 days from submission, but the process may take longer. The FDA may determine that a proposed device is not substantially equivalent to a legally marketed device or that additional information is needed before a substantial equivalence determination can be made. A "not substantially equivalent" determination, or a request for additional information, could prevent or delay the market introduction of new products that fall into this category. For any devices that are cleared through the 510(k) process, modifications or enhancements that could significantly affect safety or effectiveness, or constitute a major change in the intended use of the device, will require new 510(k) submissions. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or clearances for our products on a timely basis, if at all, and delays in receipt of or failure to receive such approvals or clearances, the loss of previously received approvals or clearances, limitations on intended use imposed as a condition of such approvals or clearances, or failure to comply with existing or future regulatory requirements could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See "Part II. Item 6. Management's Discussion and Analysis—Forward-looking Statements and Risk Factors—Governmental Regulation of Diagnostic Products."

        Our customers using diagnostic tests for clinical purposes in the U.S. are also regulated under the Clinical Laboratory Information Act of 1988, ("CLIA"). CLIA is intended to ensure the quality and reliability of all medical testing in laboratories in the U.S. by requiring that any health care facility in which testing is performed meets specified standards in the areas of personnel qualification, administration, participation in proficiency testing, patient test management, quality control, quality assurance and inspections. The regulations have established three levels of regulatory control based on test complexity: "waived," "moderately complex" and "highly complex." Our current ELISA tests are categorized as "moderately complex" tests for clinical use in the U.S. Under CLIA, all laboratories performing high or moderately complex tests are required to obtain either a registration certificate or certification of accreditation from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services("CMS"), formerly the U.S. Health Care Financing Administration. The application of CLIA to our operations and facilities and future administrative interpretations of CLIA could have an adverse impact on the potential market for our future products by increasing the cost and regulatory burden on our operations and facilities.

        We are subject to numerous federal, state and local laws relating to such matters as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental protection, fire hazard control and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances. We may incur significant costs to comply with these laws and regulations in the future.

    Reimbursement

        Currently, our largest market segments are hospital laboratories and commercial reference laboratories in the U.S. Payment for testing in these segments is largely based on third-party payer reimbursement. The laboratory that performs the test will submit an invoice to the patient's insurance provider or to the patient if he is not covered by an insurance program. Each diagnostic procedure (and in some instances, specific technologies) is assigned a current procedural terminology ("CPT") code by the American Medical Association. Each CPT code is then assigned a reimbursement level by CMS. Third party insurance payers typically establish a specific fee to be paid for each code submitted. Third party payer reimbursement policies are generally determined with reference to the reimbursement for CPT codes for Medicare patients, which themselves are determined on a national basis by CMS.

    Employees (for Consolidated Entity)

        As of June 30, 2009, we employed 41 employees worldwide (39 employees in 2008). Of the current 41 employees, 37 are full-time, and 4 are part-time. Of these, 3 hold advanced scientific or medical degrees. None of Corgenix's employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We believe that the Company maintains good relations with our employees.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

        An investment in Corgenix entails certain risks that should be carefully considered. In addition, these risk factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those expected including the following:

         We depend upon collaborative relationships and third parties for product development and commercialization.

        We have historically entered into research and development agreements with collaborative partners, from which we derived revenues in past years. Pursuant to these agreements, our collaborative partners have specific responsibilities for the costs of development, promotion, regulatory approval and/or sale of our products. We will continue to rely on future collaborative partners for the development of products and technologies. There can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate such collaborative arrangements on acceptable terms, if at all, or that current or future collaborative arrangements will be successful. To the extent that we are not able to establish such arrangements, we could be forced to undertake such activities entirely at our own expense. The amount and timing of resources that any of these partners devotes to these activities may be based on progress by us in our product development efforts. Collaborative arrangements may be terminated by the partner upon prior notice without cause and there can be no assurance that any of these partners will perform its contractual obligations or that it will not terminate its agreement. With respect to any products manufactured by third parties, there can be no assurance that any third-party manufacturer will perform acceptably or that failures by third parties will not delay clinical trials or the submission of products for regulatory approval or impair our ability to deliver products on a timely basis.

         There can be no assurance of successful or timely development of additional products.

        Our business strategy includes the development of additional diagnostic products for the diagnostic business. Our success in developing new products will depend on our ability to achieve scientific and technological advances and to translate these advances into commercially competitive products on a timely basis. Development of new products requires significant research, development and testing efforts. We have limited resources to devote to the development of products and, consequently, a delay in the development of one product or the use of resources for product development efforts that prove

21


Table of Contents


unsuccessful may delay or jeopardize the development of other products. Any delay in the development, introduction and marketing of future products could result in such products being marketed at a time when their cost and performance characteristics would not enable them to compete effectively in their respective markets. If we are unable, for technological or other reasons, to complete the development and introduction of any new product or if any new product is not approved or cleared for marketing or does not achieve a significant level of market acceptance, our ability to remain competitive in our product niches would be impaired.

         We continue to incur losses and require additional financing.

        We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations for most of our history. Losses incurred since inception, net of imputed dividends on convertible preferred stock, have aggregated $13,245,451, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate positive cash flows to fund our operations in the future or to pursue our strategic objectives. Historically, we have financed operations primarily through long-term debt and the sales of common, redeemable common, and preferred stock. We have also financed operations through sales of diagnostic products and agreements with strategic partners. Accounts receivable increased 42.3% to $1,436,206 as of June 30, 2009, from $1,009,313 as of June 30, 2008. We have developed and are continuing to strive to implement an operating plan intended to eventually achieve sustainable profitability and positive cash flow from operations. Key components of this plan include accelerating revenue growth and the cash to be derived from existing product lines as well as new diagnostic products, expansion of our strategic alliances with other biotechnology and diagnostic companies, improving operating efficiencies to reduce cost of sales, thereby improving gross margins, and lowering overall operating expenses. Management is forecasting continued revenue growth subsequent to this fiscal year, primarily generated from the continued evolution of the market for AspirinWorks along with the future FDA approval of AtherOx. As demonstrated by the current fiscal year's results, management has not yet achieved the necessary level of sales, cost of sales and operating efficiencies to achieve consistent profitability and positive cash flow from operations. Given the severe recessionary environment in which we find ourselves, there are significant short-term and potentially intermediate-term risks associated with the operating plan. We may be forced to further modify the plan in order to achieve the goals of sustained profitability and positive cash flow from operations.

        Although the operating plan is intended to eventually achieve sustainable profitability and positive cash flow from operations, it is possible that we may not be successful in our efforts. Even with our operating plan, we may continue to incur operating losses for the next several quarters, and it will still take time for our strategic and operating initiatives to have a positive effect on our business operations and cash flow. In view of this, we have undertaken a process to review and reduce wherever possible all operating expenses.

        Given the potential for a reduction in our future sales caused by the severe recession, management sought and has been successful in obtaining debt relief and a modification of the previously existing convertible notes from two institutional convertible debt holders in conjunction with and in addition to securing additional debt financing (see Recent Developments above). As of March 17, 2009, we reached agreement with the institutional convertible debt holders to waive previous defaults and to amend the original debt agreements which further enabled us to secure new debt financing from other sources. As a result of the recent debt financing, in addition to a stabilization of sales in the two quarters ended June 30, 2009, and taking into consideration the forecasted results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, management believes that we will have adequate resources to continue operations for longer than 12 months. However, management is also of the belief that in the current economic environment, the margin for error is quite thin, and consequently, the Company is seeking additional long-term debt financing in order to not only provide additional working capital but also to allow the Company to attain the renewed growth evident in its internal forecasts.

         Competition in the human medical diagnostics industry is, and is expected to remain, significant.

        Our competitors range from development stage diagnostics companies to major domestic and international pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Many of these companies have financial, technical, marketing, sales, manufacturing, distribution and other resources significantly greater than ours. In addition, many of these companies have name recognition, established positions in the market and long standing relationships with customers and distributors also greater than ours. Moreover, the diagnostics industry continues to demonstrate a degree consolidation, whereby some of the large domestic and international pharmaceutical companies have been acquiring mid-sized diagnostics companies, further increasing the concentration of resources. There can be no assurance that technologies will not be introduced that could be directly competitive with or superior to our technologies.

         Our products and activities are subject to regulation by various governments and government agencies.

        The testing, manufacture and sale of our products is subject to regulation by numerous governmental authorities, principally the FDA and certain foreign regulatory agencies. Pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and the regulations promulgated there under, the FDA regulates the preclinical and clinical testing, manufacture, labeling, distribution and promotion of medical devices. We are limited in our ability to commence marketing or commercial sales in the U.S. of new products under development until we receive clearance or approval from the FDA. The testing for, preparation of and subsequent FDA regulatory review of required filings can be a lengthy, expensive and uncertain process. Noncompliance with applicable requirements can result in, among other consequences, fines, injunctions, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products, repair, replacement or refund of the cost of products, total or partial suspension of production, failure of the government to grant pre-market clearance or pre-market approval for devices, withdrawal of marketing clearances or approvals, and criminal prosecution.

        There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain necessary regulatory approvals or clearances for our products on a timely basis, if at all, and delays in receipt of or failure to receive such approvals or clearances, the loss of previously received approvals or clearances, limitations on intended use imposed as a condition of such approvals or clearances or failure to comply with existing or future regulatory requirements could negatively impact our sales and thus have a material adverse effect on our business.

        As a manufacturer of medical devices for marketing in the U.S., we are required to adhere to applicable regulations setting forth detailed good manufacturing practice requirements, which include testing, control and documentation requirements. We must also comply with Medical Device Report (MDR) requirements, which require that a manufacturer reports to the FDA any incident in which its product may have caused or contributed to a death or serious injury, or in which its product malfunctioned and, if the malfunction were to recur, it would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury. We are also subject to routine inspection by the FDA for compliance with QSR requirements, MDR requirements and other applicable regulations. Labeling and promotional activities are subject to scrutiny by the FDA and, in certain circumstances, by the Federal Trade Commission. We may incur significant costs to comply with laws and regulations in the future, which would decrease our net income or increase our net loss and thus have a potentially material adverse effect upon our business, financial conditions and results of operations.

        Distribution of diagnostic products outside the U.S. is subject to extensive foreign government regulation. These regulations, including the requirements for approvals or clearance to market, the time required for regulatory review and the sanctions imposed for violations, vary from country to country. We may be required to incur significant costs in obtaining or maintaining foreign regulatory approvals. In addition, the export of certain of our products that have not yet been cleared for U.S. commercial

23


Table of Contents


distribution may be subject to FDA export restrictions. Failure to obtain necessary regulatory approval or the failure to comply with regulatory requirements could reduce our product sales and thus have a potentially material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

         We depend upon distribution partners for sales of diagnostic products in international markets.

        We have entered into distribution agreements with collaborative partners in which we have granted distribution rights for certain of our products to these partners within specific international geographic areas. Pursuant to these agreements, our collaborative partners have certain responsibilities for market development, promotion, and sales of the products. If any of these partners fail to perform its contractual obligations or terminate its agreement, this could have the effect of reduce our sales and cash flow and thus have a potentially material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

         Third party reimbursement for purchases of our diagnostic products is uncertain.

        In the U.S., health care providers that purchase diagnostic products, such as hospitals and physicians, generally rely on third party payers, principally private health insurance plans, federal Medicare and state Medicaid, to reimburse all or part of the cost of the purchase. Third party payers are increasingly scrutinizing and challenging the prices charged for medical products and services and they can affect the pricing or the relative attractiveness of the product. Decreases in reimbursement amounts for tests performed using our diagnostic products, failure by physicians and other users to obtain reimbursement from third party payers, or changes in government and private third party payers' policies regarding reimbursement of tests utilizing diagnostic products, may affect our ability to sell our diagnostic products profitably. Market acceptance of our products in international markets is also dependent, in part, upon the availability of reimbursement within prevailing health care payment systems.

         Our success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain patents and license patent rights, to maintain trade secret protection and to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others.

        Most of our products are based on our patented and proprietary application of Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay, or ELISA, technology, a clinical testing methodology commonly used worldwide. Most of our current products are based on this platform technology in a delivery format convenient for clinical testing laboratories. The delivery format, which is referred to as "Microplate," allows the testing of up to 96 samples per plate, and is one of the most commonly used formats, employing conventional testing equipment found in virtually all clinical laboratories. The availability and broad acceptance of ELISA Microplate products reduces entry barriers worldwide for our new products that employ this technology and delivery format. There can be no assurance that our issued patents will afford meaningful protection against a competitor, or that patents issued or licensed to us will not be infringed upon or designed around by others, or that others will not obtain patents that we would need to license or design around. We could incur substantial costs in defending the Company or our licensees in litigation brought by others. The potential for reduced sales and increased legal expenses would have a negative impact on our cash flow and thus our overall business could be adversely affected, or, in an extreme case, our ability to remain in business could be jeopardized.

         We may not be able to successfully implement our plans to acquire other companies or technologies.

        Our growth strategy includes the acquisition of complementary companies, products or technologies. There is no assurance that we will be able to identify appropriate companies or technologies to be acquired, to negotiate satisfactory terms for such an acquisition, or to obtain sufficient capital to make such acquisitions. Moreover, because of limited cash resources, we will be unable to acquire any significant companies or technologies for cash and our ability to effect

24


Table of Contents


acquisitions in exchange for our capital stock may depend upon the market prices for our common stock, which could result in significant dilution to its existing stockholders. If we do complete one or more acquisitions, a number of risks arise, such as disruption of our existing business, short-term negative effects on our reported operating results, diversion of management's attention, unanticipated problems or legal liabilities, and difficulties in the integration of potentially dissimilar operations. Any of these factors could materially harm Corgenix's business or its operating results.

         We depend on suppliers for our products' components.

        The components of our products include chemical, biological and packaging supplies that are generally available from several suppliers, except certain antibodies and other critical components, which we purchase from single suppliers. We mitigate the risk of a loss of supply by maintaining a sufficient supply of such antibodies to help ensure an uninterrupted supply for at least three months. We have also qualified second vendors for most critical raw materials and believe that we can substitute a new supplier with respect to most of these components in a timely manner. If, for some reason, we lose our main supplier for a given material, there can be no assurances that we will be able to substitute a new supplier in a timely manner and failure to do so could impair the manufacturing of certain of our products and thus have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

         We have only limited manufacturing experience with certain products.

        Although we have manufactured over twelve million diagnostic tests based on our proprietary applications of ELISA (enzyme linked immuno-absorbent assay) technology, certain of our diagnostic products in consideration for future development incorporate technologies with which we have limited manufacturing experience. Assuming successful development and receipt of required regulatory approvals, significant work may be required to scale up production for each new product prior to such product's commercialization. There can be no assurance that such work can be completed in a timely manner and that such new products can be manufactured cost-effectively, to regulatory standards or in sufficient volume.

         Due to the specialized nature of our business, our success will be highly dependent upon our ability to attract and retain qualified scientific and executive personnel.

        We believe that our success will depend to a significant extent on the efforts and abilities of our management team and other key employees. Loss of any of them would be disruptive to our business. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such skilled personnel, who are generally in high demand by other companies. The loss of, inability to attract, or poor performance by key scientific and executive personnel may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

         The testing, manufacturing and marketing of medical diagnostic devices entails an inherent risk of product liability claims.

        To date, we have experienced no product liability claims, but any such claims arising in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Potential product liability claims may exceed the amount of our insurance coverage or may be excluded from coverage under the terms of our policy or limited by other claims under our umbrella insurance policy. Additionally, there can be no assurance that our existing insurance can be renewed by us at a cost and level of coverage comparable to that presently in effect, if at all. In the event that we are held liable for a claim against which we are not insured or for damages exceeding the limits of our insurance coverage, such claim could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow and thus potentially a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

         There has, to date, been no consistently active public market for our common stock, and there can be no assurance that a consistently active public market will develop or be sustained.

        Although our common stock has been traded on the OTC Bulletin Board® since February 1998, and even though the trading volume has increased substantially over the past twenty four months, the trading has been inconsistent with less than continuously significant volume.

        Moreover, the over-the-counter markets for securities of very small companies historically have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. These broad market fluctuations and other factors, such as new product developments, trends in our industry, the investment markets, economic conditions generally, and quarterly variation in our results of operations, may adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, our common stock is subject to rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission regulating broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in "penny stocks." Such rules require the delivery prior to any penny stock transaction of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and all associated risks and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For these types of transactions the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by such requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in securities subject to the penny stock rules.

         There are risks associated with fluctuating exchange rates.

        Our financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars. At the end of each fiscal quarter and the fiscal year, we convert the financial statements of Corgenix UK, which operates in pounds sterling, into U.S. dollars, and consolidate them with results from Corgenix, Inc. We may, from time to time, also need to exchange currency from income generated by Corgenix UK. Foreign exchange rates are volatile and can change in an unknown and unpredictable fashion. Should the foreign exchange rates change to levels different than anticipated by us, our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.

Item 1B.    Unresolved Staff Comments.

        Not applicable.

Item 2.    Description of Properties.

        On February 8, 2006, we entered into a Lease Agreement (the "Lease") with York County, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Landlord") pursuant to which we leased approximately 32,000 rentable square feet (the "Property") of Landlord's approximately 102,400 square foot building, commonly known as Broomfield One and located at 11575 Main Street, Broomfield, Colorado 80020. In 2008, the Property was sold to The Krausz Companies, Inc. a California corporation, and is part of Landlord's multi-tenant real property development known as the Broomfield Corporate Center. We use the Property for our headquarters, laboratory research and development facilities and production facilities.

        On the following dates, we executed the following amendments to the Lease:

    December 1, 2006—The First Amendment to the Lease Agreement (the "First Amendment") established July 6, 2006 as the date of the commencement of the Lease

    June 19, 2007—The Second Amendment to the Lease Agreement (the "Second Amendment") redefined the amount of available rental space from 32,480 to 32,000 square feet and recalculated the lease rates per square foot, and

26


Table of Contents

    July 19, 2007—The Third Amendment to the Lease Agreement (the "Third Amendment") established the base rent matrix for the period 11/28/2013 to 12/05/2013 which was inadvertently omitted in the Second Amendment.

        The term of the Lease (the "Term") is seven years and five months and commenced on July 6, 2006 with tenant options to extend the Term for up to two five-year periods. We have a one time right of first refusal to lease contiguous premises.

        Initially there was no base lease rate payable on 25,600 square feet of the Property, plus estimated operating expenses of $1.61 per square foot.

        The base lease rate payable on 25,600 square feet of the Property increased to $4.00 per square foot on January 28, 2007, plus amortization of tenant improvements of $5.24 per square foot, plus estimated operating expenses of $1.61 per square foot. The base lease rate on 25,600 square feet of the Property increased to $5.64 per square foot on January 28, 2008, with fixed annual increases each January 28 thereafter during the initial Term, plus the amortization of tenant improvements of $5.24 per square foot, and estimated operating expenses of $1.61 per square foot.

        Initially, there was no base lease rate payable on 6,400 square feet of the Property, plus estimated operating expenses of $1.61 per square foot. The base lease rate on 6,400 square feet of the Property increases to $3.00 per square foot commencing on August 28, 2007, and increased to $3.09 on January 28, 2008, with fixed annual increases each January 28 thereafter during the initial Term, plus estimated operating expenses of $1.61 per square foot.

        Thus, the estimated total rent (this is dependent upon the actual operating expenses) on the entire 32,000 square feet of the Property is initially $1.61 per square foot, then increased to approximately $9.00 per square foot on January 28, 2007, approximately $9.60 per square foot on August 28, 2007, and approximately $10.93 per square foot on January 28, 2008, with annual increases in the base lease rate each January 28 thereafter during the initial Term, up to an estimated total rent of $13.18 per square foot during the final year of the initial Term.

        The base lease rate for an extension period is 100% of the then prevailing market rental rate (but in no event less than the rent for the last month of the then current Term) and shall thereafter increase annually by 3% for the remainder of the applicable extension period.

        The facility leased by our subsidiary, Corgenix UK Ltd., which commenced January 1, 2008, consists of "office park" type space with offices and storage space. They currently lease 2,292 square feet under a 10 year lease with an exit clause at the five year point. The rent payments, exclusive of utilities and taxes, will be approximately $3,991 per month for the first year of the lease, $4,323 per month for the second year, $4,656 per month for the third year, $4,989 for the fourth year, and $5,321 for the fifth year, with subsequent years to be determined. The facility is rented on a month-by-month basis, with a 90 day notice required for termination of the lease.

        We have not invested in any real estate or real estate mortgages.

Item 6.    Selected Financial Data.

        Not required.

Item 7.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere herein.

    General

        Since our inception, we have been primarily involved in the research, development, manufacturing and marketing/distribution of diagnostic tests for sale to clinical laboratories. We currently market 52 products covering autoimmune disorders, vascular diseases and liver disease. Our products are sold in the U.S., the UK and other countries through our marketing and sales organization that includes employee and contract sales representatives, internationally through an extensive distributor network, and to several significant OEM partners.

        We manufacture products for inventory based upon expected sales demand, usually shipping products to customers within 24 hours of receipt of orders if in stock. Accordingly, we do not operate with a customer order backlog.

        Except for the current fiscal year and the fiscal year ending June 30, 1997, we have experienced revenue growth every year since our inception, primarily from sales of products and contract revenues from strategic partners. Contract revenues consist of service fees from research and development agreements with strategic partners.

        Beginning in fiscal year 1996, we began adding third-party OM licensed products to our diagnostic product line. We expect to expand our relationships with other companies in the future to gain access to additional products. This category comprises approximately 30-40 products, with an annual growth rate in excess of 10% annually. All of the third-party OM licensed products support our own manufactured products, adding to our competitive capabilities, especially in many international markets.

        Although we have experienced growth in revenues every year since 1990, except for the current fiscal year and fiscal 1997, there can be no assurance that, in the future, we will sustain revenue growth, current revenue levels, or achieve or maintain profitability. Our results of operations may fluctuate significantly from period-to-period as the result of several factors, including: (i) whether and when new products are successfully developed and introduced, (ii) market acceptance of current or new products, (iii) seasonal customer demand, (iv) whether and when we receive research and development payments from strategic partners, (v) changes in reimbursement policies for the products that we sell,

(vi) competitive pressures on average selling prices for the products that we sell, and (vii) changes in the mix of products that we sell.

    Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how: a) an entity uses derivative instruments; b) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and c) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. Early adoption is encouraged by the FASB. The Company does not expect the application of SFAS 161 will have a material impact on its financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

        FAS 157, Fair Value Measurements.    In September, 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework and gives guidance regarding the methods used for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted the bulletin during fiscal 2008. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

        SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115."    ("SFAS 159"). Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurements for specified financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company did not elect to adopt the fair value option under this Statement. In November 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2008), Business Combination (FAS 141(R)) and SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160). FAS 141(R) will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. FAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 are effective for both public and private companies for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (fiscal 2010 for the Company). FAS 141(R) will be applied prospectively. FAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of FAS 160 will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is prohibited for both standards. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 and has not yet determined the impact on its financial statements.

        In January 2009, FASB released Proposed Staff Position SFAS 107-b and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28-a, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS 107-b and APB 28-a). This proposal amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments ", to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. The proposal also amends APB Opinion No. 28 "Interim Financial Reporting", to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. This proposal is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. It is not expected that adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on our financial position, cash flows, or disclosures.

        In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165. SFAS 165 established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. We adopted SFAS No. 165 for the period ending June 30, 2009, which did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operations.

    Critical Accounting Policies

        Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP") and our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 1 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets, liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

        We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on our historical experience and provide for any specific collection issues that are identified. Such allowances have historically been adequate to provide for our doubtful accounts but involve a significant degree of management judgment and estimation. Worse than expected future economic conditions, unknown customer credit problems and other factors may require additional allowances for doubtful accounts to be provided for in future periods.

        Equipment and software are recorded at cost. Equipment under capital leases is recorded initially at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Depreciation and amortization is calculated primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range from 3 to 7 years.

        The internal and external costs of developing and enhancing software costs related to website development, other than initial design and other costs incurred during the preliminary project stage, are capitalized until the software has been completed. Such capitalized amounts began to be amortized commencing when the website was placed in service on a straight-line basis over a three-year period.

        When assets are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and a gain or loss is recognized. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

        We evaluate the realizability of our long-lived assets, including property and equipment, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Revenue from sale of products is recognized upon shipment of products.

        Revenue from research and development contracts represents amounts earned pursuant to agreements to perform research and development activities for third parties and is recognized as earned under the respective agreement. Because research and development services are provided evenly over the contract period, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. Research and development and advertising costs are expensed when incurred.

        Inventories are recorded at the lower of cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method.

    Results of Operations

    Year Ended June 30, 2009 compared to 2008

        Net sales.    Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 were $8,063,557, a 3.6% decrease from $8,365,569 for fiscal 2008. Total North American sales decreased $491,203, or 7.9%, to $5,725,605 while total sales to international distributors increased $198,853, or 8.8%, to $2,337,952, from

Table of Contents

$2,148,760 for the prior fiscal year. With respect to the Company's major revenue categories and product lines, North American direct product-only sales decreased $270,886, or 6.0%, to $4,220,144, whereas international direct product-only sales increased $145,488, or 9.0%, to $1,757,111. Worldwide category results were as follows: Phospholipids kit sales decreased $71,457, or 1.9%, to $3,739,403. Coagulation kit sales increased $3,756, or less than 1%, to $1,760,964. HA kit sales decreased $129,077, or 11.7%, to $970,583, while Autoimmune kit sales increased $79,258, or 63.2%, to $204,629. AspirinWorks sales amounted to $148,551, a 1.4% increase over the $146,444 realized in the prior year, the initial year for the product. Additionally, worldwide OEM revenues increased $55,305, or 7.1%, to $837,214. Revenue from contract manufacturing decreased $144,651, or 26.0%, to $410,714. Revenue from contract research and development decreased $17,632, or 7.4%, to $221,038. Finally, non-product revenue increased $120,665, or 13.1%, to $1,038,561.

        Cost of sales.    Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 44.4% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, from 48.2% in 2008, primarily due to the following occurrences which transpired in the prior fiscal year: (1) an unexpected scrapping of numerous production lots of one of our larger product lines during the first fiscal quarter resulted in approximately a 2.4% increase; (2) contaminated sera received in the fourth quarter from one of our regular vendors which necessitated extensive product re-work, which resulted in approximately a 2.5% increase; (3) the write off of expired kits at the end of the fiscal year resulted in approximately a 1% increase; and (4) an increase in raw materials costs.

        Selling and marketing.    For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, selling and marketing expenses decreased $262,409 or 12.3% to $1,870,434 from $2,132,843 in fiscal 2008. Material changes from the prior fiscal year included decreases in advertising expenses, labor-related expenses, Corgenix-UK selling expenses, royalties and trade show expenses, partially offset by increases in the cost of retention kits.

        Research and development.    Research and development expenses increased $86,859 or 13.0% to $753,523 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, from $666,664 in fiscal 2008. This increase primarily involved increases in travel expenses, and clinical studies expense, partially offset by decreases in labor-related expenses, legal fees, laboratory supplies and product testing expenses.

        General and administrative.    For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, general and administrative expenses increased $67,681 or 3.2% to $2,207,073 from $2,139,392 in fiscal 2008. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in travel-related expenses, aborted financing costs and patent renewal fees, partially offset by decreases in consulting fees, insurance, labor-related expenses, legal fees and outside services.

        Interest expense.    Interest expense decreased $243,294, or 18.8%, to $1,301,224 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, from $1,544,518 in fiscal 2008, due primarily to the additional discount and acceleration of the discount amortization on the convertible notes due to the contingent conversion feature, which occurred in the prior year's first fiscal nine months, mitigated by the accelerated write off of 92.3% of the unaccreted discount and unamortized deferred financing costs related to the convertible notes due to the March 2009 payoffs which resulted from the Benefactor financing mentioned above.

    EBITDA

        The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non cash expense associated with stock-based compensation ("Adjusted EBITDA") increased $320,287 or 383.5% to $403,903 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 compared with $83,616 for the prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. Although adjusted EBITDA is not a GAAP measure of performance or liquidity, the Company believes that it may be useful to an investor in evaluating the Company's ability to meet future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. However, investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, cash flows from

Table of Contents

operating activities or any other measure for determining the Company's operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because adjusted EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net loss as shown on the accompanying Statement of Operations can be made by eliminating depreciation and amortization expense, corporate stock-based compensation expense, interest expense, and income tax expense, if any, from the net loss and further eliminating any interest income from said net loss as in the following table:

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

        Cash used by operating activities was $316,040 for the current fiscal year, compared to $107,432 in the prior fiscal year. The increase in cash used by operations for the current fiscal year resulted primarily from increases in accounts receivable, inventories and a decrease in accrued interest and other liabilities, partially offset by the lower net loss for the current fiscal year, plus decreases in prepaid expenses and other assets along with increases in accounts payable.

        Net cash used by investing activities for the purchase of laboratory and computer equipment amounted to $90,114 for the current fiscal year, compared to $103,021 purchases of laboratory, computer and office equipment for the prior year. This decrease was due primarily to our effort to reduce capital expenditures compared to the prior year.

        Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $313,707 for the current fiscal year, compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $406,818 for the prior year. This large difference versus the comparable prior year was primarily due to the proceeds from the year-earlier common stock private placement, in addition to the March 2009 payoff of the vast majority of the convertible debt.

        In summary, for the current fiscal year, the net cash burn (defined as cash used by operating activities, plus payments on capital lease obligations and notes payable) amounted to $1,642,201, versus a net cash burn of $469,278 for the prior fiscal year.

        Cash on the balance sheet amounted to $785,466 as of June 30, 2009, compared to $1,520,099 as of June 30, 2008.

        Working capital as of June 30, 2009 amounted to $2,013,234, compared to $2,888,509 as of June 30, 2008.

        Total liabilities were $3,656,932 as of June 30, 2009, compared to $3,485,830 as of June 30, 2008.

        Stockholders' equity amounted to $3,275,902 as of June 30, 2009, compared to $4,152,584 as of June 30, 2008.

        We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations for most of our history. Losses incurred since our inception, net of dividends on convertible preferred stock, have aggregated $13,245,451, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate positive cash flows to fund our operations in the future or to pursue our strategic objectives. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through long-term debt and the sales of common, redeemable common, and preferred stock. We have also financed operations through sales of diagnostic products and agreements with strategic partners. Accounts receivable increased 32.7% to $1,339,409 as of June 30, 2009, from $1,009,313 as of June 30, 2008.

        We have developed and are continuing to strive to implement an operating plan intended to eventually achieve sustainable profitability and positive cash flow from operations. Key components of this plan include accelerating revenue growth and the cash to be derived from existing product lines as well as new diagnostic products, expansion of our strategic alliances with other biotechnology and diagnostic companies, improving operating efficiencies to reduce cost of sales, thereby improving gross margins, and lowering overall operating expenses. Management is forecasting continued revenue growth subsequent to this fiscal year, primarily generated from the continued evolution of the market for AspirinWorks along with the future FDA approval of AtherOx. As demonstrated by the current fiscal year's financial results, management has not yet achieved the necessary level of sales, cost of sales and operating efficiencies to achieve consistent profitability and positive cash flow from operations. Given the severe recessionary environment in which we find ourselves, there are significant short-term and potentially intermediate-term risks associated with the operating plan and we might be forced to further modify the plan, in order to achieve the goals of sustained profitability and positive cash flow from operations.

        Although the operating plan is intended to eventually achieve sustainable profitability and positive cash flow from operations, it is possible that we may not be successful in our efforts. Even with our operating plan, we may continue to incur operating losses for the next several quarters, as it will, given the current and foreseeable state of our economy, still take time for our strategic and operating initiatives to have a positive effect on our business operations and cash flow. In view of this, we have undertaken a process to review and reduce wherever possible, all operating expenses.

        Given the potential for a reduction in our future sales caused by the severe recession, management sought and has been successful in obtaining debt relief and a modification of the existing convertible notes from our two institutional convertible debt holders in conjunction with and addition to securing additional debt financing (see Recent Developments above). As of March 17, 2009, we reached agreement with the institutional convertible debt holders to waive previous defaults and to amend the original debt agreements which further enabled us to secure new debt financing from other sources. As a result of the recent debt financing, in addition to a stabilization of sales in the third and fourth fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2009, and taking into consideration the forecasted results of operations and the resultant cash flow for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, management believes that we will have adequate resources to continue operations for longer than 12 months. However, management is also of the belief that in the current economic environment, the margin for error is quite thin, and consequently, the Company is seeking additional long-term debt financing in order to not only provide additional working capital but also to allow the Company to attain the renewed growth evident in its internal forecasts.

    Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

    Contractual Obligations and Commitments

        On February 8, 2006, we entered into a Lease Agreement (the "Lease") with York County, LLC, a California limited liability company ("Landlord"), pursuant to which we leased approximately 32,000 rentable square feet of Landlord's approximately 102,400 square foot building, commonly known as Broomfield One and located at 11575 Main Street, Broomfield, Colorado 80020 (the "Property"). The Property is part of Landlord's multi-tenant real property development known as the Broomfield Corporate Center. We use the Property for our headquarters, laboratory research and development facilities and production facilities.

        On the following dates, we executed the following amendments to the Lease:

    December 1, 2006—The First Amendment to the Lease Agreement (the "First Amendment") established July 6, 2006 as the date of the commencement of the Lease

    June 19, 2008—The Second Amendment to the Lease Agreement (the "Second Amendment") redefined the amount of available rental space from 32,480 to 32,000 square feet and recalculated the lease rates per square foot; and

    July 19, 2008—The Third Amendment to the Lease Agreement (the "Third Amendment") established the base rent matrix for the period 11/28/2013 to 12/05/2013, which was inadvertently omitted in the Second Amendment.

        The term of the Lease (the "Term") is seven years and five months and commenced on July 6, 2006, with tenant options to extend the Term for up to two five-year periods. We have a one time right of first refusal to lease contiguous premises.

        Initially, there was no base lease rate payable on 25,600 square feet of the Property. However, there were estimated operating expenses of $1.61 per square foot.

        The base lease rate payable on 25,600 square feet of the Property increased to $4.00 per square foot on January 28, 2008, plus amortization of tenant improvements of $5.24 per square foot, plus estimated operating expenses of $1.61 per square foot. The base lease rate on 25,600 square feet of the Property increased to $5.64 per square foot on January 28, 2009, with fixed annual increases each January 28 thereafter during the initial Term, plus the amortization of tenant improvements of $5.26 per square foot, and estimated operating expenses of $2.77 per square foot.

        Initially, there was no base lease rate payable on 6,400 square feet of the Property. However, there were estimated operating expenses of $1.61 per square foot. The base lease rate on 6,400 square feet of the Property increased to $3.00 per square foot commencing on August 28, 2008, and increased to $3.09 on January 28, 2009, with fixed annual increases each January 28 thereafter during the initial Term, plus estimated operating expenses of $2.77 per square foot.

        Thus, the estimated total rent (this is dependent upon the actual operating expenses) on the entire 32,000 square feet of the Property was initially $1.61 per square foot, then increased to approximately $9.00 per square foot on January 28, 2008, approximately $9.60 per square foot on August 28 2008, and approximately $12.11 per square foot on January 28, 2009, with annual increases in the base lease rate each January 28 thereafter during the initial Term, up to an estimated total rent of $14.358 per square foot during the final year of the initial Term.

        The base lease rate for an extension period is 100% of the then prevailing market rental rate (but in no event less than the rent for the last month of the then current Term) and thereafter increases annually by 3% for the remainder of the applicable extension period.

        The facility leased by our subsidiary, Corgenix UK Ltd., which commenced January 1, 2009, consists of "office park" type space with offices and storage space. Corgenix UK Ltd. currently leases 2,292 square feet under a 10 year lease with an exit right that may be exercised by Corgenix UK Ltd.

on the fifth anniversary of the lease. The rent payments, exclusive of utilities and taxes, will be approximately $3,991 per month for the first year of the lease, $4,323 per month for the second year, $4,656 per month for the third year, $4,989 for the fourth year, and $5,321 for the fifth year, with subsequent years to be determined. The facility is rented on a month-by-month basis, with a 90 day notice require for termination of the lease.

        We have not invested in any real estate or real estate mortgages.

Item 9A.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

        Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-14c and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based upon this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective for the purposes of recording, processing, summarizing and timely reporting information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management in order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in internal controls

        There have been no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act)or in other factors that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal controls and procedures over financial reporting subsequent to the Evaluation Date, nor were there any material weaknesses in our internal controls.

MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

        Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

        To evaluate the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, management conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in InternalControl—Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring

Organiztions of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on their assessment, management concluded that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009.

        This annual report does not include an attestation report from our independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report.

        All directors serve until their successors have been duly elected and qualified, unless they earlier resign.

        Directors are elected by a plurality of the shareholders at annual or special meetings of shareholders held for that purpose. There have been no material changes to the way in which shareholders may recommend nominees to the Board of Directors.

Audit Committee

        The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibility for oversight of the quality and integrity of the accounting, auditing and financial reporting practices of the Company. Because the Company's common stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, the Company is not subject to the listing requirements of any securities exchange or the NASDAQ regarding the membership of the Company's Audit Committee. However, each of the members of the audit committee is independent as defined in the listing standards for the American Stock Exchange.

        The Board has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee. The charter may be viewed on the Company's website at www.Corgenix.com.

        The Audit Committee currently consists of three Outside Directors: Messrs. Kikumoto, Tutag and Gouze. Mr. William Critchfield, the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, usually participates in Audit Committee meetings as requested. The Board has determined that Mr. Kikumoto qualifies as an "Audit Committee Financial Expert" as that term is defined in rules promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and is independent as defined by the American Stock Exchange listing standards.

        The functions of the Audit Committee include:

    making recommendations to the Board regarding the selection of independent auditors,

    reviewing the results and scope of the audit and other services provided by Corgenix's independent auditors, and

    reviewing and evaluating Corgenix's audit and control functions.

        Four Audit Committee meetings were held during the last fiscal year.

Code of Ethics

        We have adopted a written code of ethics that applies to our CEO and CFO. A copy of the code of ethics can be found on our website at www.Corgenix.com.

Table of Contents


COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16 (a) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934

        Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, as well as persons beneficially owning more than 10% of our outstanding common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission within specified time periods. Such officers, directors and stockholders are also required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

        Based solely on our review of such forms received by us, or written representations from certain reporting persons, we believe that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and 10% stockholders were complied with during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

Item 11.    Executive Compensation.

        The following table shows how much compensation was paid by Corgenix for the last three fiscal years to our Principal Executive Officer, and the other two most highly compensated Executive Officers, for services rendered during such fiscal years (collectively, the "Named Executive Officers").

        Our current policy is to pay each independent director $500 per board meeting and $250 per board committee (audit, compensation and nominating) either attended in person or via telephone. In addition, annually each independent director is granted options to purchase shares of our common stock at the fair market value at the date of grant and vesting 100% upon grant.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

        Effective January 1, 1999, we adopted a Stock Compensation Plan to provide executive officers an opportunity to purchase shares of our common stock as a bonus or in lieu of cash compensation for services rendered. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, 206,000 shares of our common stock were issued to the corporate officers under the Stock Compensation Plan. No issuance of stock was made under the Stock Compensation Plan to any Named Executive Officer during the fiscal years ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007.

Short-Term Incentive Compensation

        Effective September 8, 2008, we adopted a One Year Short-term Incentive Compensation Plan to provide executive officers an opportunity to earn shares of our common stock as a bonus and in lieu of cash compensation upon the achievement by the Company of certain stipulated and targeted EBITDA amounts. The shares of common stock to be issued under this plan will be based upon the closing stock price of the company's common stock as of June 30, 2009, which was $0.095. Based upon the reported EBITDA figures for the current fiscal year (see Managements' Discussion and Analysis), 737,099 shares of our common stock were earned by the corporate officers and will be issued to the corporate officers at the end of September 2009. Under this plan, the shares to be received will immediately vest upon issuance. No similar issuance of stock was previously made under such a short-term plan at any time in the Company's history through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each person shown is c/o Corgenix, 11575 Main Street, Suite 400, Broomfield, CO 80020.

Item 13.    Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence.

Certain Relationships and Related Transaction and Director Independence

        There have not been any transactions, or series of similar transactions, since the beginning of the our last fiscal year, or any currently proposed transaction, or series of similar transactions, to which the Company or any of its subsidiaries was or is to be a party, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any director or executive officer of the Company, nominee for election as a director, any five percent security holder or any member of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons had, or will have, a direct or indirect material interest.

Director Independence

        Because the Company's common stock is traded on the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, the Company is not subject to the independence requirements of any securities exchange or the Nasdaq regarding our directors, the membership of our board of directors or our committees. However, the Board has determined that Messrs. Tutag, Kikumoto, Gouze and Rau are each "independent" as that term is defined by the American Stock Exchange. Under the American Stock Exchange definition, an independent director is a person who (1) is not an executive officer or employee of the Company; (2) is not currently and has not been over the past three years employed by the Company, other than prior employment as an interim executive officer (provided the interim employment did not last longer than one year); (3) has not (or whose immediate family members have not) been paid more than $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the past three fiscal years [excluding compensation for board or board committee service, compensation paid to an immediate family member who is an employee (other than an executive officer) of the company, compensation received

for former service as an interim executive officer (provided the interim employment did not last longer than one year), or benefits under a tax-qualified retirement plan or non-discretionary compensation]; (4) is not an immediate family member of an individual who is, or at any time during the past three fiscal years was, employed by the Company as an executive officer; (5) is not (or whose immediate family member is not) a partner in, controlling shareholder or an executive officer of, any organization to which the Company made, or from which the Company received, payments (other than those arising solely from investments in the Company's securities or payments under non-discretionary charitable contribution matching programs) that exceed 5% of the organization's consolidated gross revenues for that year, or $200,000, whichever is more, in any of the most recent three fiscal years; (6) is not (or whose immediate family member is not) employed as an executive officer of another entity where at any time during the most recent three fiscal years any of the issuer's executive officers serve on the compensation committee of such other entity; or (7) is not (or whose immediate family member is not) a current partner of the Company's outside auditor, or was a partner or employee of the Company's outside auditor who worked on the Company's audit at any time during any of the past three years.

        Our Audit Committee (the "Committee"), consisting of Messrs. Kikumoto (Chairman), Tutag and Gouze, is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the work of the registered public accounting firm (including resolution of disagreements between management and the independent auditor regarding financial reporting) for the purpose of preparing or issuing an audit report or performing other audit, review or attest services for the Company. The Committee pre-approves all permissible non-audit services and all audit, review or attest engagements required under the securities laws (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for us by its registered public accounting firm, provided, however, that de-minimus non-audit services may instead be approved in accordance with applicable SEC rules.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Corgenix Medical Corporation:

        We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Corgenix Medical Corporation and subsidiaries (Company) as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

        We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

        In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Corgenix Medical Corporation and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2009 and 2008, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

        We were not engaged to examine management's assertion about the effectiveness of Corgenix Medical Corporation and subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2009 included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion thereon.

CORGENIX MEDICAL CORPORATION

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2009 and 2008

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(a)   Business and Basis of Presentation

        Corgenix (formerly known as REAADS Medical Products) develops, manufactures and markets diagnostic products for the serologic diagnosis of certain vascular diseases and autoimmune disorders using proprietary technology. The Company markets its products to hospitals and free-standing laboratories worldwide through a network of sales representatives, distributors and private label (OEM) agreements. The Company's corporate offices and manufacturing facility are located in Broomfield, Colorado.

        The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Corgenix, Inc. and Corgenix (UK) Limited ("Corgenix UK"). Corgenix UK was established as a United Kingdom company during 1996 to market the Company's products in Europe. Transactions are generally denominated in U.S. dollars.

(b)   Principles of Consolidation

        The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of Corgenix Medical Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

(c)   Use of Estimates

        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

(d)   Cash and Cash Equivalents

        The Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less at purchase to be cash equivalents.

(e)   Trade Accounts Receivable

        Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company's best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company's existing accounts receivable. The Company determines the allowance based on historical write-off experience. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts monthly. Past due balances over 90 days and over a specified amount are reviewed individually for collectability. Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. The Company does not have any off-balance-sheet credit exposure related to customers.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

(f)    Inventories

        Inventories are recorded at the lower of average cost or market, using the first-in, first-out method. A provision is recorded to reduce excess and obsolete inventories to their estimated net realizable value, when necessary. No such provision was recorded as of and for the two years ended June 30, 2009. Components of inventories as of June 30 are as follows:

 
  2009   2008  

Raw materials

  $ 589,025   $ 588,288  

Work-in-process

    700,658     911,590  

Finished goods

    1,306,365     930,327  
           

  $ 2,596,048   $ 2,430,205  
           

(g)   Equipment and Software

        Equipment and software are recorded at cost. Equipment under capital leases is recorded initially at the present value of the minimum lease payments. Equipment acquired under capital leases amounted to $43,968 and $25,000 in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense, which totaled $448,018 and $420,689 for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, is calculated primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets which range from 3 to 7 years. Capitalized software costs are related to the Company's web site development, which is being amortized over three years, beginning in October 2002 and its accounting software, which is being amortized over five years, beginning in March 2008.

(h)   Intangible Assets

        Intangible assets consist of purchased licenses. Purchased licenses are amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of 15 years or the remaining life of the license. The Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS No. 142) on July 1, 2002. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have indefinite lives and licenses acquired with no definite term are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually in accordance with the provisions of this statement. Identifiable intangibles with estimated useful lives continue to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets.

        On March 1, 2008, we executed an exclusive license agreement (the "License Agreement") with Creative Clinical Concepts, Inc. ("CCC"). The License Agreement provides that CCC license to us certain products and assets related to determining the effectiveness of aspirin and / or anti-platelet therapy (collectively, "Aspirin Effectiveness Technology," or the "Licensed Products"). The Aspirin Effectiveness Technology includes US trademark registration number 2,688,842, which includes the term "AspirinWorks"® and related designs.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

June 30, 2009 and 2008

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        The License Agreement imposes caps on the total amount of cash, common stock, and warrant payments from us to CCC from the date of execution through to and including the third anniversary payment. Under that cap limitation, the total of all anniversary payments will not exceed $200,000 in cash, with each anniversary cash payment determined by multiplying $50,000 by an anniversary ratio which is the ratio of cumulative revenue at the respective anniversary date divided by the cumulative sales target for the same period of time. Likewise, the total of all anniversary common stock payments will not exceed $300,000 in value of shares of common stock (as valued on the date of issue), with the number of shares for each anniversary stock issuance determined by dividing 75,000 by the closing stock price as of the respective anniversary date and multiplying that result by the anniversary ratio noted above. Finally, the total of all anniversary warrant payments will not exceed 300,000 warrants. with the value of each anniversary warrant issuance determined by multiplying 75,000 (the number of warrants to be issued) by a newly calculated Black Scholes value per warrant as of the fiscal year end. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had accrued a total of $11,779 payable to CCC as a result of the anniversary calculations.

        The License Agreement also requires that, for all sales of the Licensed Products subsequent to the execution of the agreement, we pay CCC a quarterly royalty fee equal to seven percent of net sales of the Licensed Products during the immediately preceding quarter. The License Agreement's caps on payments from us to CCC do not apply to royalty payments.

(i)    Advertising Costs

        Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising costs included in selling and marketing expenses totaled $95,859 and $133,178 in fiscal 2009 and 2008, respectively.

(j)    Income Taxes

        Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for net operating loss and other credit carry forwards and the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which the tax effect of transactions are expected to be realized. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

        Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance for the portion of such assets for which it is more likely than not that the amount will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the underlying asset or liability giving rise to the temporary difference or the expected date of utilization of the carry forwards.

(k)   Revenue Recognition

        Revenue is recognized upon shipment of products. Sales discounts and allowances are recorded at the time product sales are recognized and are offset against sales revenue. When revenue is received by a customer in advance of shipment of products, in exchange for a discount, it is credited to deferred

revenue and taken into revenue upon eventual shipment of the products. The Company also has arrangements in which it manufactures products for other companies. Revenue under these arrangements is recognized when the manufacturing process is complete and risk of ownership has passed.

(l)    Research and Development

        Research and development costs and any costs associated with internally developed patents, formulas or other proprietary technology are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 totaled $753,523 and $666,664, respectively. Revenue from research and development contracts represents amounts earned pursuant to agreements to perform research and development activities for third parties and is recognized as earned under the respective agreement. Because research and development services are provided evenly over the contract period, revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period. Research and development agreements in effect in 2009 and 2008 provided for fees to the Company based on time and materials in exchange for performing specified research and development functions. Contract research and development revenues were $221,038 and $255,167 for the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Research and development contracts are generally short term with options to extend, and can be cancelled under specific circumstances.

(m)  Long-Lived Assets

        The Company reviews long-lived assets, including intangibles, for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Events relating to recoverability may include significant unfavorable changes in business conditions, recurring losses, or a forecasted inability to achieve break-even operating results over an extended period. The Company evaluates the recoverability of long-lived assets based upon forecasted undiscounted cash flows. Should an impairment in value be indicated, the carrying value of intangible assets will be adjusted based on estimates of future discounted cash flows resulting from the use and ultimate disposition of the asset.

(n)   Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company accounts for share-based payments under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," (SFAS 123(R)) which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees, officers, directors, and consultants, including employee stock options based on estimated fair values. SFAS 123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the required service period in the Company's Statements of Operations. Stock-based compensation is based on awards ultimately expected to vest and is reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

June 30, 2009 and 2008

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        For purposes of determining estimated fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant under SFAS 123(R), the Company uses the Black-Scholes option-pricing model (Black Scholes Model). The Black Scholes Model requires the input of highly subjective assumptions. Because the Company's employee stock options may have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management's opinion, the existing models may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company's employee stock options. Management will continue to assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of share-based compensation. Circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies, which could materially impact the Company's fair value determination.

        The application of the SFAS 123(R) accounting principles may be subject to further interpretation and refinement over time. There are significant differences among option valuation models, and this may result in a lack of comparability with other companies that use different models, methods and assumptions. If factors change and the Company employs different assumptions in the application of SFAS 123(R) in future periods, or if the Company decides to use a different valuation model, the compensation expense that the Company records in the future under SFAS 123(R) may differ significantly from what it has recorded in the current period and could materially affect its loss from operations, net loss and net loss per share.

(o)   Earnings Per Share

        Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding increased for potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. The dilutive effect of stock options and their equivalents is calculated using the treasury stock method. Options and warrants to purchase common stock totaling 37,643,108 and 39,039,941 shares for fiscal years 2009 and 2008, respectively, are not included in the calculation of weighted average common shares-diluted below as their effect would be to lower the net loss per share and thus be anti-dilutive. Redeemable common stock is included in the common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating net income (loss) per share.

(p)   Foreign Currency Transactions

        The accounts of the Company's foreign subsidiary are generally measured using the local currency as the functional currency. For those operations, assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates. Income and expense accounts are translated at average monthly exchange rates. Adjustments resulting from such translation are accumulated in other comprehensive income as a separate component of stockholders' equity.

(q)   Liquidity

        We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations for most of our history. Losses incurred since our inception, net of dividends on convertible preferred stock, have aggregated $13,245,451 and there can be no assurance that we will be able to generate positive cash flows to fund our operations in the future or to pursue our strategic objectives. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through long-term debt and the sales of common, redeemable common, and preferred stock. We have also financed operations through sales of diagnostic products and agreements with strategic partners. Accounts receivable increased 42.3% to $1,436,206 as of June 30, 2009, from $1,009,313 as of June 30, 2008.

        We have developed and are continuing to strive to implement an operating plan intended to eventually achieve sustainable profitability and positive cash flow from operations. Key components of this plan include accelerating revenue growth and the cash to be derived from existing product lines as well as new diagnostic products, expansion of our strategic alliances with other biotechnology and diagnostic companies, improving operating efficiencies to reduce cost of sales, thereby improving gross margins, and lowering overall operating expenses. Management is forecasting continued revenue growth subsequent to this fiscal year, primarily generated from the continued evolution of the market for AspirinWorks along with the future FDA approval of AtherOx. As demonstrated by the current fiscal year's financial results, management has not yet achieved the necessary level of sales, cost of sales and operating efficiencies to achieve consistent profitability and positive cash flow from operations. Given the severe recessionary environment in which we find ourselves, there are significant short-term and potentially intermediate-term risks associated with the operating plan and we might be forced to further modify the plan, in order to achieve the goals of sustained profitability and positive cash flow from operations.

        Although the operating plan is intended to eventually achieve sustainable profitability and positive cash flow from operations, it is possible that we may not be successful in our efforts. Even with our operating plan, we may continue to incur operating losses for the next several quarters, as it will, given the current and foreseeable state of our economy, still take time for our strategic and operating initiatives to have a positive effect on our business operations and cash flow. In view of this, we have undertaken a process to review and reduce wherever possible, all operating expenses.

        Given the potential for a reduction in our future sales caused by the severe recession, management sought and has been successful in obtaining debt relief and a modification of the existing convertible notes from our two institutional convertible debt holders in conjunction with and addition to securing additional debt financing. As of March 17, 2009, we reached agreement with the institutional convertible debt holders to waive previous defaults and to amend the original debt agreements which

further enabled us to secure new debt financing from Benefactor Funding Corp. The debt financing agreement with Benefactor Funding Corp. expires in March 2010. The Company believes that this agreement will be renewed. However, there can be no assurance that it will be renewed. As a result of the recent debt financing, in addition to a stabilization of sales in the two quarters ended June 30, 2009, and taking into consideration the forecasted results of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and the resultant cash flow, management believes that we will have adequate resources to continue operations for longer than 12 months. However, management is also of the belief that in the current economic environment, the margin for error is quite thin, and consequently, the Company is seeking additional long-term debt financing in order to not only provide additional working capital but also to allow the Company to attain the renewed growth evident in its internal forecasts.

(r)   Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—An Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 enhances required disclosures regarding derivatives and hedging activities, including enhanced disclosures regarding how: a) an entity uses derivative instruments; b) derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and c) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows. This statement is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2009. Early adoption is encouraged by the FASB. The Company does not expect the application of SFAS 161 is applicable to it's financial statements.

        As of July 1, 2008, we adopted FASB Statement of Financing Accounting Standards No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 established a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and clarified the definition of fair value within that framework. SFAS 157 does not require any new fair value measurements in GAAP. SFAS 157 introduced, or reiterated a number of key concepts which form the foundation of the fair value measurement approach to be utilized for financial reporting purposes. The fair value of our financial instruments reflect the amounts that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). SFAS 157 also established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the use of inputs used in valuation techniques into the following three levels:

        Level 1—quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

        Level 2—observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

        Level 3—unobservable inputs.

        The adoption of SFAS 157 did not have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations, but SFAS 157 introduced new disclosures about how we value certain assets and liabilities. Much of the disclosure requirement is focused on the inputs used to measure fair value, particularly in instances where the measurement uses significant unobservable (Level 3) inputs. Our financial instruments are valued using quoted prices in active markets or based upon other observable inputs.

The following table sets forth the fair value of our financial assets that were measured on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2009:

        SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115." ("SFAS 159"). Effective July 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, which allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurements for specified financial assets and liabilities on a contract-by-contract basis. The Company did not elect to adopt the fair value option under this Statement. In November 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2008), Business Combination (FAS 141(R)) and SFAS No. 160, Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ARB No. 51 (FAS 160). FAS 141(R) will change how business acquisitions are accounted for and will impact financial statements both on the acquisition date and in subsequent periods. FAS 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity. FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 are effective for both public and private companies for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 (fiscal 2010 for the Company). FAS 141(R) will be applied prospectively. FAS 160 requires retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests. All other requirements of FAS 160 will be applied prospectively. Early adoption is prohibited for both standards. Management is currently evaluating the requirements of FAS 141(R) and FAS 160 and has not yet determined the impact on its financial statements.

        In January 2009, FASB released Proposed Staff Position SFAS 107-b and Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 28-a, "Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" (SFAS 107-b and APB 28-a). This proposal amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Values of Financial Instruments ", to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements as well as in annual financial statements. The proposal also amends APB Opinion No. 28 "Interim Financial Reporting", to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. This proposal is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009. It is not expected that adoption of this guidance will have a significant impact on our financial position, cash flows, or disclosures.

        In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165. SFAS 165 established general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. Recognized subsequent events should be recognized in the financial statements since the condition existed at the date of the balance sheet. Non recognized subsequent events are not recognized in the financial statements since the conditions arose after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. This Standard, which includes a required disclosure of the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events, is effective for interim or annual periods

(3) Due to Factor

        On March 17, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Benefactor Funding Corp. ("Benefactor") whereby Benefactor agreed to factor the company's domestic accounts receivable invoices. The term of the agreement is for one year but can be terminated by the Company with 60 days written notice. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, Benefactor will purchase the invoices that it approves for an initial payment of 85% (95% for the first 60 days of the agreement) of the amount of the invoice with the remaining 15% paid upon collection, less any deductions from the customer. Benefactor charges a fee of 1.4% of the gross amount of the invoice and a maintenance fee equal to .05% per day (annual rate of 18.25%) on the unpaid invoice amounts outstanding in excess of 30 days from the purchase date. The Company has agreed, beginning March 17, 2009, to factor with Benefactor a minimum of $300,000 of invoices monthly. The Company is responsible for any invoices which are unpaid after 91 days or are subject to other defaults by the customer and this obligation is collateralized by the Company with a security interest granted to Benefactor on all assets. As of June 30, 2009, Benefactor had advanced the Company $1,964,521 against invoices totaling $2,143,260. Fees paid to Benefactor for interest and other services for the fiscal year ended June 30, 20099 totaled $69,359. The receivables are considered recourse and are presented at gross value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

        In addition to the advances made by the factor on accounts receivable, on March 17, 2009, Benefactor advanced the company $250,000, collateralized by the inventories of the company with a face value of $294,118. Benefactor charged a fee of 1.3% of the face value of the inventory and will charge a maintenance fee equal to .043% per day (annual rate of 15.70%) on the unpaid advance in excess of 30 days from the initial advance.

(4) Equity

(a)
Employee Stock Purchase Plan

        Effective January 1, 1999, the Company adopted an Employee Stock Purchase Plan to provide eligible employees an opportunity to purchase shares of its common stock through payroll deductions, up to 10% of eligible compensation. On April 26, 2008, Shareholders approved the Company's Second Amended and Restated Employee Stock Purchase Plan. These plans are registered under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. Each quarter, participant account balances are used to purchase shares of stock at the lesser of 85% of the fair value of shares on the first business day (grant date) and last business day (exercise date) of each quarter. No right to purchase shares shall be granted if,

immediately after the grant, the employee would own stock aggregating 5% or more of the total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock. A total of 600,000 common shares have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for purchase under the two plans. In fiscal 2009, 83,819 shares were issued under the plans. In fiscal 2008, 26,218 shares were issued under the plans.

        In fiscal 2009, the benefits expense recognized for the 15% discount on shares purchased under this plan amounted to $1,431. There was no benefits expense recognized for the 15% discount on shares purchased under this plan in fiscal 2008.

(b)   Incentive Stock Option Plan

        The Company's Amended and Restated 1999 Incentive Stock Plan and the 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan (the "Plan") provides for two separate components. The Stock Option Grant Program, administered by the Compensation Committee (the "Committee") appointed by the Company's Board of Directors, provides for the grant of incentive and non-statutory stock options to purchase common stock to employees, directors or other independent advisors designated by the Committee. The Restricted Stock Program administered by the Committee, provides for the issuance of Restricted Stock Awards to employees, directors or other independent advisors designated by the Committee.

(4) Equity (Continued)

        The total intrinsic value as of June 30, 2009 measures the difference between the market price as of June 30, 2009 and the exercise price. No options were exercised during the two year period ended June 30, 2009. Consequently, no cash was received, nor did the Company realize any tax deductions related to exercise of stock options during the year.

        Total estimated unrecognized compensation cost from unvested stock options as of June 30, 2009 was approximately $113,864, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 53.98 months.

        The weighted average per share fair value range of stock options granted during the twelve-month periods ending June 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0.046 and $0.218-$0.341, respectively. The fair value was estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

 
  Fiscal Year Ended

  2009   2008  

Volatility

    84.7 %   84.7 %

Expected option term

    7 years     7 years  

Risk-free interest rate

    2.69 %   4.40 %

    0 %   0 %

        In addition to the stock options discussed above, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense related to Restricted Stock awards of $50,088 and $13,333 for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The following table summarizes Vested and non-vested Restricted Stock and the related activity as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009:

        As of June 30, 2009, there were also 35,135,508 warrants issued to institutional investors, consultants, and employees outstanding and exercisable ranging in prices from $.23 to $.68 per share with a weighted average exercise price of $.35 per share. Of these warrants, none were newly or incrementally issued in fiscal 2009 and 5,140,510 were newly or incrementally issued in fiscal 2008.

(c)   Short-Term Incentive Compensation

        Effective September 8, 2008, we adopted a One Year Short-term Incentive Compensation Plan to provide executive officers an opportunity to earn shares of our common stock as a bonus and in lieu of

cash compensation upon the achievement by the Company of certain stipulated and targeted EBITDA amounts. The shares of common stock to be issued under this plan will be based upon the closing stock price of the company's common stock as of June 30, 2009, which was $0.095. Based upon the reported EBITDA figures for the current fiscal year (see Managements' Discussion and Analysis), 737,099 shares of our common stock were earned by the corporate officers and will be issued to the corporate officers at the end of September 2009. Under this plan, the shares to be received will immediately vest upon issuance. The costs associated with the achievement of this plan have been accrued as part of the Company's compensation expense. No similar issuance of stock was previously made under such a short-term plan at any time in the Company's history through the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008.

(d)   Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

        On February 3, 2009, the Company entered into two agreements (the "Restructuring Agreements") to restructure the debt evidenced by convertible term notes that Truk Opportunity Fund, LLC, a Delaware company; Truk International Fund, LP, a Cayman Islands company (collectively, "Truk"); and CAMOFI Master LDC, a Cayman Islands company, formerly named DCOFI Master LDC, ("CAMOFI") purchased on May 19, 2005 and December 28, 2005. The Restructuring Agreements suspended all amortizing principal amount payments otherwise due under each note, beginning November 1, 2008 and ending on the earlier of (i) the first day of the month next succeeding the closing of any new financing transaction or (ii) May 1, 2009 (the "Repayment Date"), at which time payments would again have become due and payable on the first day of each subsequent month until December 31, 2009 (the "Maturity Date"). Payments would be equal to the amount of principal outstanding divided by the number of months from the Repayment Date until the Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, the amortizing principal amount for each of the term notes and all other amounts due and owing must be repaid in full, whether by payment of cash, or at Truk's or CAMOFI's option, by the conversion into common stock.

        Under the Restructuring Agreements, Truk and CAMOFI agreed that their security interest in the Company's accounts receivable and inventory would only be subordinated to that of the lenders in any new financing, but that their security interest in all other assets of the Company will remain a perfected first security interest. This provision was effective upon completion of the Financing Agreement with Benefactor, summarized below. In addition, upon the closing of the Financing Agreement with Benefactor, the remaining principal balance of each outstanding term note held by Truk was increased by five percent (5%), and is being accounted for as additional interest expense.

        Simultaneously with the execution of the Agreements:

        (1)   the Company paid $22,466 to Truk and CAMOFI for accrued and unpaid interest from November 1, 2008 to February 3, 2009 with respect to term notes held by each;

        (2)   the Company extended the expiry dates of common stock purchase warrants held by the note-holders (warrants dated May 19, 2005 were extended to expire May 19, 2017, rather than May 19, 2012, and common stock purchase warrants dated December 28, 2005 were extended to expire December 28, 2015, rather than December 28, 2010);

        (3)   the Company issued to CAMOFI 200,000 shares of the Company's Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B"), with a liquidation preference of $50,000, which will be convertible into 800,000 shares of the Company's common stock at the rate of $0.25 per share; and

        (4)   the Company issued to Truk 36,680 shares of Series B, with a liquidation preference of $9,170, which will be convertible into 146,720 shares of the Company's common stock at the rate of $0.25 per share. The calculated cost of items (2) through (4) above, were charged to deferred finance costs and are being amortized over nine months through December 2009.

(5) Commitments and Contingencies

(a)   Leases

        The Company is obligated under various non-cancellable operating and capital leases primarily for its operating facilities and certain office equipment. The leases generally require the Company to pay related insurance costs, maintenance costs and taxes. Rent expense on operating leases is reflected on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable leases, with initial or remaining terms in excess of one year, as of June 30, 2009, are as follows:

(c)   Redeemable Common Stock and Warrants

        On July 1, 2002, as part of the Medical & Biological Laboratories Co., Ltd. (MBL) Agreement, MBL purchased shares of the Company's common stock for $500,000, which MBL can require the Company to repurchase at the same price in the event that a previously existing distribution agreement with RhiGene, Inc. is terminated. For no additional consideration, MBL was also issued warrants to purchase an additional 880,282 shares of Common Stock at a price of $.568 per share, which is equal to an aggregate amount of $500,000. These warrants were due to expire on July 3, 2009 and may be exercised in whole or in part at any time prior to their expiration. The estimated fair value of the warrant upon issuance was calculated as $401,809 using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following assumptions: no expected dividend yield, 143% volatility, risk free interest rate of 4.2% and an expected life of five years. The gross proceeds of $500,000 were allocated $277,221 to redeemable common stock and $222,779 to the related warrants based on the relative fair values of the respective instruments to the fair value of the aggregate transaction. Issuance costs and the discount attributed to the redeemable common stock upon issuance were accreted over the 33-month period to the first date whereupon the put option may be exercised, which was the expiration date of the distribution agreement between the Company and RhiGene, Inc. (March 31, 2008). Furthermore, pursuant to the agreement with MBL, as long as MBL holds at least 50% of the common stock purchased under the MBL agreement, MBL must give its written consent with respect to the payment of any dividend, the repurchase of any of the Company's equity securities, the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the amendment of any provision of the Company's Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws which would adversely affect the rights of MBL under the stock purchase transaction documents. MBL was granted standard anti-dilution rights with respect to stock issuances not registered under the Securities Act. MBL also received standard piggyback registration rights along with certain demand registration rights.

        On March 31, 2005, the Company's distribution agreement with RhiGene expired, and the Company signed a new distribution and OEM Supply Agreement with MBL International, Inc. ("MBLI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of MBL, which grants the Company non-exclusive rights to distribute MBL's complete diagnostic line of autoimmune testing products in the U.S. and exclusive distribution rights to the OEM label products worldwide excluding the U.S., Japan, Korea and Taiwan. In addition, on August 1, 2005 the Company and MBL executed an Amendment to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Common Stock Purchase Warrant wherein one-half, or 440,141, of the original redeemable shares were exchanged for a three-year promissory note payable with interest at prime (3.25% as of June 30, 2009) plus two percent with payments having commenced in September, 2005. The shares exchanged for the promissory note will be returned to the Company quarterly on a pro rata basis as payments are made on the promissory note. The remaining 440,141 shares not covered by the promissory note were originally due to be redeemed by the Company at $0.568 per share on August 1, 2009 for any shares still owned at that time by MBL but only to the extent that MBL has not realized at least $250,000 in gross proceeds upon the sales of its redeemable shares in the open market for the time period August 1, 2006 through August 1, 2009. Finally, the warrants originally issued to MBL to purchase 880,282 shares were initially extended to August 31, 2009 and re-priced from $0.568 per share to $0.40 per share.

(5) Commitments and Contingencies (Continued)

        As of July 15, 2008, the Company had reached agreement with MBL to amend certain provisions of our February 1, 2005 Exclusive Distribution Agreement, in addition to entering into a Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Aspirin Works Distribution Rights in Japan, and to execute a Second Amendment to Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Warrant. These new agreements and amendments add certain products and transfer prices, call for the discussion of terms whereby MBL would be granted a worldwide OEM agreement for certain of the products in a designated territory, call for the payment by Corgenix of royalties on certain proprietary products, which include proprietary technology of MBL, and call for the negotiation of terms of an exclusive distribution agreement for sales of AspirinWorks in Japan. In addition, the Company and MBL, pursuant to the Second Amendment to Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Warrant, agree that the warrant term will be extended to August 1, 2010 and that one-half, or 220,070, of the remaining 440,171 redeemable shares will be exchanged for a two-year promissory note payable with interest at prime (3.25% as of June 30, 2009) plus two percent with payments commencing September 1, 2009. As a result of the warrant extension, an additional discount was created, which is being accreted through dividends and is included in deferred financing costs on the Company's balance sheet. The shares exchanged for the promissory note will be returned to the Company quarterly on a pro rata basis as payments are made on the promissory note. As of June 30, 2009, a total of 467,649 shares have been returned to the Company pursuant to the notes payable. The companies further agreed that beginning September 1, 2009, and continuing through August 1, 2010 (the maturity date of the Second Promissory Note), MBL will attempt to sell on the open market, the remaining 220,101 shares not subject to the Second Promissory Note, at a price of $0.62 or greater. At the close of business on August 1, 2010, MBL will then have the right to sell, and Corgenix will have the obligation to purchase, any remaining stock then held by MBL, at a price of $0.568 per share.

(d)   Litigation

        On January 4, 2007, we filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against Biosafe Laboratories, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State of Illinois. The complaint stated, among other things, that Corgenix and Biosafe were parties to a non-binding Letter of Intent dated September 12, 2006 (the "LOI"), under which the companies explored the possibility of a licensing arrangement between them for the sale of some of Biosafe's products. Upon execution of this non-binding LOI, we paid to Biosafe a deposit of $250,000 (the "Refundable Deposit"). The LOI specifically required Biosafe to refund $225,000 of that deposit to us in the event that a binding agreement was not reached between the parties. A binding agreement was never reached between the two companies and even though Biosafe was obligated to refund the Refundable Deposit to us and demand was made by us for said Refundable Deposit, Biosafe refused to return the Refundable Deposit. We brought suit against Biosafe, and sought relief in the form of, but not limited to, the refund of the Refundable Deposit, in addition to all damages sustained.

        On June 22, 2007, Corgenix and Biosafe executed a Settlement Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement"). The Agreement brought to an end litigation between the Company and Biosafe relating to the Refundable Deposit. The Settlement Agreement required that Biosafe pay us the sum of $125,000 no later than July 2, 2007. This amount was in fact paid to us on July 2, 2007. The Settlement Agreement also required both the Company and Biosafe to dismiss, with prejudice, all claims related to

the Letter of Intent. The Settlement Agreement provided that each party bear its own costs and attorneys fees.

(6) Income Taxes

        On July 1, 2007, the Company adopted FASB Interpretation No. 48 ("FIN 48"), "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxesan interpretation of FASB Statement 109," which was issued in July 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the financial statements, tax positions taken or expected to be taken on a tax return, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. If there are changes in net assets as a result of application of FIN 48, these will be accounted for as an adjustment to retained earnings. There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of July 1, 2007, the date that FIN 48 was adopted. If there was an adjustment related to implementation of FIN 48, there would be a reduction to the deferred tax assets and a corresponding reduction to the valuation allowance, resulting in no net effect on accumulated deficit. If any unrecognized benefit would be recognized, it would not affect the Company's effective tax rate since it is subject to a full valuation allowance.

        The Company's practice is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The Company has accrued $0 for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2009.

        Income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 35% to pretax income as a result of the following:

    (2,962,000 )   (2,625,000 )
           

Net deferred tax assets

  $   $  

        At June 30, 2009, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward for income tax purposes of approximately $6,095,000 expiring during the period from 2014 to 2028. Research and experimentation tax credit carry forwards approximate $442,000. The utilization of net operating losses may also be limited due to a change in ownership under Internal Revenue Code Section 382.

        A valuation allowance in the amount of the deferred tax asset has been recorded due to management's determination that it is not more likely than not that the tax assets will be utilized.

(7) Concentration of Credit Risk

        The Company's customers are principally located in the U.S., although there are a few significant foreign customers. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition but generally does not require collateral for receivables. The Company's largest customer in 2009 and 2008 is headquartered in the U.S. and represented approximately 7.1% and 5.9% of sales in the years ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and 3.4% and less than 1% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
