PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

Biomoda, Inc. (“Biomoda”) is a development stage company incorporated in the state of New Mexico on January 3, 1990 (Inception). On August 13, 2003, Biomoda formed Biomoda Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, for the purpose of research, development, production and marketing of medical and biomedical products. Biomoda and Biomoda Holdings, Inc. are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Company”.

We have laboratories and offices at 609 Broadway NE, in Albuquerque, New Mexico that are used for corporate and research and development activities.  The mailing address is P.O. Box 11342, Albuquerque, NM 87192. Its telephone number is (505) 821-0875 and its fax number is (866) 519-6156.  Our website is www.biomoda.com.

The Company

We are an InVitro Diagnostics Company that develops assays, or tests, to detect cancer. These assays are performed in clinical reference laboratories using body-fluid samples. This technology is based on an exclusively licensed patent from Los Alamos National Laboratories. The Company was issued its own patent in January, 2005, and has received a Divisional and appied for a Continuation-in-part (“CIP”) extension of that owned patent. The technology is based on a molecule that has an affinity to bind with cancer cells and it fluoresces red under Ultra Violet light. It’s a porphyrin molecule; easy to obtain, manufacture and use. This is a broad based technology that works with a variety of cell types.

We are in the process of developing a line of assays for a variety of cancers based on adaptations of this technology. Our first product is an assay for lung cancer. Lung cancer represents a large market that has seriously unmet diagnostic needs. The survival rates for lung cancer are dismal; due in large part because this disease is typically diagnosed late in its progression. The sample that we use in our Lung Cancer test is sputum, or deep lung fluid coughed up from the lungs mostly by smokers. Other cancer markets that we have identified as significant business opportunities are bladder and cervical. This technology has the potential to diagnose other cancers as well.

Market Need

Cancer is the greatest disease killer in the US and other developed countries of the world, and Lung Cancer is the leading killer. Survivability of Lung Cancer is extremely poor: only 40% survive one year after being diagnosed; 15% survive five years. Predictive Early Stage Diagnosis is desperately needed.

We are also developing collection protocol and diagnostics for other cancers, including breast, oral, prostate, bladder, colorectal and cervical.

 
World of Medicine

In recognition of the fact that people respond differently to different therapies, there is a shift in medicine toward an individualized approach. Personalized Disease Management is an overall direction being adopted within medicine to address risk assessment, diagnosis, treatments and individual response to therapies. Our technology will enhance this new paradigm in medicine with improvements in early stage diagnosis.

Within Personalized Disease Management, our CyPath® assay has a large opportunity to be adopted by the medical community for screening, monitoring and surveillance of cancers. Screening is the largest market. Monitoring is critical for accurately gauging individual responses to therapies such as its efficacy and toxicity.

Business Model

Our end customer is the patient that presents with symptoms or for screening and the doctors that prescribe tests that aid in diagnosis. Our primary customers are clinical reference labs. Their role is to respond to a physician's request (prescriptions) for a test; receive the sample; execute the assay and deliver the test result to the physician for its ultimate communication to the patient relative to a diagnosis.

The labs then seek reimbursement from Medicare and private insurers based on existing reimbursement codes. Biomoda had a reimbursement code study done in late 2003, and determined that current codes exist and are economically feasible under Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) codes. The CMS is a Federal agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

We intend to use contract manufacturing and contract sales organizations. This infrastructure is commonly used and allows us to take advantage of world class expertise and keep this part of our business a variable cost and gain efficiencies through negotiated contracts and multiple sourcing.

Technology

Our Onco-Labeling Technology is based on a porphyrin molecule called TCPP that preferentially binds to cancer cells and fluoresces red under UV light. We have received two patents and currently have an additional application in progress; we have also applied for international patent rights. Biomoda has a patent licensed from Los Alamos that supports our patent including international protection.  We continue to work on Divisional and Continuation-in-part expansions and enhancements to our patent portfolio.  We anticipate that our R & D efforts and collaborations will generate new patent applications within the next year.

Customers

While reference clinical labs represent our primary customer, our sales are driven by physician referrals. Our initial marketing strategy is focused on creating a high profit margin for the labs and ourselves. This model offers significant economic incentives for our customers to embrace our assays.

Due to the fact that our sales are driven by physicians, we plan to create and establish visibility and credibility by actively raising awareness among this audience. We intend to accomplish this though coordinated scientific collaborations, followed by publication and presentation of the results at medical conferences. We are in the process of initiating collaborations and collaborative studies with the premier lung cancer researchers in the world

We will use detailing agents (specialized sales agents) to provide direct marketing efforts to physicians.

To protect our intellectual property (“IP”) we plan to develop active, licensed-based collaborations with reference labs on a regional basis with an emphasis on identifying lab partners that have business relationships with physician networks or HMOs. This will enable us to develop strategic relationships with customer groups who have formal relationships with those who drive our sales.

 
Competition

Competition falls into several segments: biomarkers, radiology, genomics, and proteomics

Biomarkers: represent the closest competitors in terms of market introduction. Biomarkers are used to indirectly identify cellular aberrations and disease. We are monitoring the activity of companies in this space, but we believe our technology offers inherent commercial advantages over biomarkers. CyPath® is cheaper to make, more stable, and simpler to use in the commercial laboratory environment.

Radiology: technology is not sensitive enough for early detection and there are limits to radiation exposure for monitoring and surveillance of cancer.

Genomics and proteomics are leading-edge science; however, we do not view these as technologies ready for commercialization.

CyPath® represents a complementary product to the array of diagnostic tools currently used in making a diagnosis in cancer while also being a stand-alone early stage diagnostic tool. Personalized Disease Management requires a tiered assay schema or algorithm; CyPath® is a front-end diagnostic and screening tool; an aid in determining whether or not more expensive and specialized tests is warranted. This product is highly valuable to physicians in terms of allowing physicians to optimize and expand their current medical practices.

Patents

Biomoda Inc licenses from Los Alamos National Security the exclusive rights to U.S. patent 5,162,231 and the foreign equivalent thereof titled, “Method of using 5,10,15,20-tetrakis (carboxyphenyl) porphine for detecting cancers of the lung”.  The patent was issued on November 10, 1992

Biomoda Inc. owns U.S. patent 6,838,248, titled “Compositions and methods for detecting pre-cancerous conditions in cell and tissue samples using 5, 10, 15, 20-tetrakis (carboxyphenyl) porphine” which was issued on January 4, 2005 and the foreign equivalents thereof.

In April, 2008, the U.S. Patent Office awarded patent number 7,384,764, a Divisional Patent to Biomoda researchers entitled “Method of Prognosing Response to Cancer Therapy with 5,10,15,20 - Tetrakis (Carboxyphenyl) Porphine”.  We filed new patents related to the making of TCPP and the proprietary innovations based on flow cytometry and dark-field microscopy as platforms. We anticipate that our R & D efforts and collaborations will generate new patent applications within the next year.

U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has registered the marks CyPath® and CyDx®

Suppliers

We have identified several suppliers for all key components of our lung cancer diagnostic assay. Discussions continue with these suppliers.

Research and Development Activities

We are engaged in research activities related to defining and delineating the mechanism for TCPP’s affinity to bind with cancerous cells. We are also engaged in research activities related to collaborations with universities, scientists, research institutions, and medical facilities domestically and internationally for further research and for clinical trials.

The 2008 Session of the New Mexico State legislature further appropriated for 2009 a total of $1.3 million towards continuation of this Clinical Study that will be administered through the New Mexico Department of Veterans Services and New Mexico Tech.  Biomoda’s technology is the focus of the study.

Biomoda’s team of experts is dedicated to the clinical study. The team includes representatives from TriCore Laboratories, Alquest, Radiology Associates, New Mexico Tech and Quintiles Consulting. The Department of Veterans’ Services and Black Veterans Association of New Mexico will assist with outreach and recruitment of veterans.

Biomoda received approval from an independent Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) on March 4, 2009 to begin Phase I clinical trials of its cytology-based screening technology for early detection of cancer.

IRB review protects research subjects by reviewing the study protocol to make sure it adheres to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regulations, that risks to participants are minimized and acceptable in light of the possible benefits, that the informed consent document is accurate, and that the research is conducted in an ethical manner.

Working closely with the New Mexico Department of Veterans Services and the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Biomoda has begun recruiting volunteers for the study from New Mexico’s veteran population. Volunteers must be “20 pack year” smokers, individuals who have smoked one pack a day for 20 years or two packs a day for 10 years.

The study will initially enroll approximately 200-300 participants who will provide a deep-lung sputum sample under the guidance of a respiratory therapist. Each volunteer will also undergo a computed tomography (“CT”) scan, currently the standard of care for early detection of lung cancer. Later this year, the study is expected to  expand to 2,500 volunteers subject to additional funding.

Dr. Thomas L. Bauer, thoracic surgeon and cancer researcher with the Christiana Care Health System in Delaware, is the national Principal Investigator (“PI”) overseeing the Biomoda study. Bauer has lead several lung and esophageal cancer studies and heads up Christiana’s participation in the International Early Lung Cancer Action Program (“I-ELCAP”).

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

We are competing against companies with the financial and intellectual resources and expressed intent of performing rapid technological innovation and substantial scientific research. The Company's resources are limited and must be allocated to focused objectives in order to succeed.

The area of biopharmaceutical research is subject to rapid and significant technological changes. Developments and advances in the medical industry by either competitors or neutral parties can affect the Company's business in either a positive or negative manner.

Developments and changes in technology that are favorable to the Company may significantly advance the potential of the Company's research while developments and advances in research methods outside of the methods the Company uses may severely hinder, or halt completely the Company's development

Before marketing any of its products, the Company will need to complete one or more clinical investigations of each product. There can be no assurance that the results of such clinical investigations will be favorable to the Company. During each investigative study and prior to its completion, the results of the investigations will remain blinded to ensure the integrity of the study. The Company will not know the results of any study, favorable or unfavorable to the Company, until after the study has been completed. Such data must be submitted to the FDA as part of any regulatory filing seeking approval to market the product. Even if the results are favorable, the FDA may dispute the claims of safety, efficacy, or clinical utility and not allow the product to be marketed. The sale price of the product may not be enough to recoup the amount of our investment in conducting the investigative studies.

 
Biomoda is a small company in terms of employees, technical and research resources and capital. These factors could hinder the Company's ability to meet changes in the medical industry as rapidly or effectively as competitors with substantially more resources.

Costs in complying with regulatory and legislative matters such as the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendment of 1988 (“CLIA”), which regulates the quality and reliability of medical testing in the United States, adverse changes in zoning laws, tax laws, or other laws affecting the medical and diagnostic industry may prove to be a major obstacle, both in respect of time and costs, in the Company's research and development.

The timing of regulatory filings and approvals, if any, for the Company's products are made less certain by the Company's strategy of seeking one or more collaborative arrangements with development and marketing partners, which may require that a collaborative partner be responsible for seeking and obtaining regulatory approvals either in foreign countries or in the United States. The Company intends to market its products throughout the world. Numerous regulatory agencies regulate the sale of diagnostic and therapeutic products, and these agencies may be affected or influenced by criteria materially different than those of the FDA. The sale of the Company's products may be materially affected by the policies of these regulatory agencies or the domestic politics of the countries involved. We have not applied for and do not now have the approval of any foreign country to sell its products for diagnostic or therapeutic use.

Our products are subject to FDA approval and to post-approval FDA reporting requirements.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company’s Research and Development facilities are located in Albuquerque, New Mexico under a month-to-month lease at approximately $2,700 per month. R&D is housed in approximately 1,200 square feet that includes two state-of-the-art laboratories where primary research, assay validation and pre-clinical work is being conducted and an administrative office. For the expanded development phase no manufacturing facilities will be needed. For the production phase Biomoda plans to utilize contract manufacturers as appropriate.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On December 17, 2008 Judge Richard Knowles dismissed a claim against Biomoda for repayment of an alleged loan to Biomoda by Advanced Optics Electronics. Judge Knowles found that the Plaintiff, Leslie Robins had no standing to bring the action on behalf of Advanced Optics. A counterclaim for over $1 million in damages against Mr. Robins and Advanced Optics was also dismissed with the agreement of Biomoda. That claim still exists as part of a Federal Court Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) action filed by Biomoda against Leslie Robins, Alvin Robins and their attorney, John Kearns. Kearns and Alvin Robins have defaulted and a default judgment has been rendered against them in the Federal Court action. A multi-million dollar list of damages has been filed by Biomoda against the defendants in default.

Counsel for Biomoda has discovered that no loan to Biomoda from Advanced Optics was ever consummated nor monies exchanged, and Counsel intends to use evidence in the RICO trial to prove that no loan existed and that, in fact, the loan was part of a broader scheme to defraud Biomoda allegedly perpetrated by the RICO defendants. Biomoda has written off the $1,030,748 debt with regard to the ADOT loan.

We do not know of any environmental liability affecting our Company that would have a materially adverse effect on our business. However, various federal, state and local environmental laws make our Company liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances. These laws often impose environmental liability regardless of whether the owner was responsible for-or knew of-the presence of hazardous substances. The presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly remediate them, may adversely affect our ability to sell or rent a property or to borrow using the property as collateral. No assurance can be given that the environmental assessments of our property revealed all environmental liabilities, or that a material, adverse environmental condition does not exist on our property.

Employees of the Company dealing with human blood and tissue specimens may be exposed to risks of infection from HIV, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and other blood and specimen-borne diseases if appropriate laboratory practices are not followed. Although no infections of this type have been reported in the Company’s history, there can be no assurance that such infections will not occur in the future and result in liability to the Company.

The testing, marketing, manufacturing, distribution, and sale of health care products could expose the Company to the risk of product liability claims. A product liability claim could have a material adverse effect on the business or financial condition of the Company. The Company does not currently maintain product liability insurance coverage. The Company intends to evaluate, depending on the circumstances that exist at the time, whether to obtain any product liability insurance coverage prior to the time that the Company engages in any marketing of its products. Even if the Company should elect to attempt to obtain such coverage in the future, there can be no assurance that product liability insurance will be available to the Company in the future on acceptable terms, if at all, or that such insurance will be sufficient to protect the Company against claims. Therefore, any uninsured loss could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operation.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

Market Information

The Company’s stock began trading on November 21, 2006 on the OTC Bulletin Board under the symbol "BMOD" and closed the year 2008 at $0.035 per share.

Holders of our Common Stock

As of March 15, 2008 the Company estimates that there were approximately 500 shareholders.

Dividends

We have never paid cash dividends on our Common Stock and do not anticipate paying cash dividends in the near future.

Stock Option Grants

No stock options were granted in 2008.

Penny Stock

Until our shares qualify for inclusion in the NASDAQ system, the public trading, if any, of our common stock will be on the OTC Bulletin Board. As a result, an investor may find it more difficult to dispose of, or to obtain accurate quotations as to the price of, the common stock offered. Our common stock is subject to provisions of Section 15(g) and Rule 15g-9 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), commonly referred to as the "penny stock rule." Section 15(g) sets forth certain requirements for transactions in penny stocks, and Rule 15g-9(d) incorporates the definition of "penny stock" that is found in Rule 3a51-1 of the Exchange Act. The SEC generally defines "penny stock" to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. If our common stock is deemed to be a penny stock, trading in the shares will be subject to additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. "Accredited investors" are persons with net assets in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouse. For transactions covered by these rules, broker-dealers must make a special suitability determination for the purchase of such security and must have the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to the purchase. Additionally, for any transaction involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to the first transaction, of a risk disclosure document, prepared by the SEC, relating to the penny stock market. A broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to both the broker-dealer and the registered representative, and current quotations for the securities. Finally, monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stocks held.

Equity Compensation Plans

Currently there is no Equity Compensation Plan.

Biomoda has been in the development stage since it began operations on January 3, 1990 and has not generated any revenues from operations and there is no assurance of any future revenues. As of December 31, 2008, Biomoda had accumulated deficit of $7,530,871 and a working capital deficit of $360,737. In addition, Biomoda did not generate any cash from operations and had no cash reserve dedicated to fund expenditures. These factors create an uncertainty as to Biomoda’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On July 19, 2006, we closed our offering of up to 6,000,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, declared effective on February 11, 2005. The Company’s market maker filed Form 211 with NASD Regulation to initiate quotations in its common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. The request was cleared on October 19, 2006.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2008, the Company had cash of $36,854.  No monies were raised in the first quarter of 2009.  We estimate that we will require $900,000 in the next twelve months to fund operations and are exploring various financing opportunities.

We have been awarded approximately $350,000 for the legislative period ending June 30, 2008 and $1.3 million in state funds for the legislative period ending June 30, 2009 to conduct lung cancer screening of Veterans in New Mexico.   To date, we have received $788,340 of these funds.  We are also pursuing several Small Business Innovation Research grant opportunities as well as congressionally directed medical research funds.

Overall, we had negative cash flows of $442,946  for the year ended December 31, 2008 resulting from $984,505 used in the Company’s operating activities, $61,426 used in the Company’s investing activities and $602,985 in cash provided by financing activities.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities - Net cash used in operating activities of $984,505 for the year ended December 31, 2008 was increased primarily due to $1,043,725 in non-cash gain on extinguishment of debt.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities - Net cash used in investing activities of $61,426 for the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily due to payments for patents and trademarks.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities - Net cash provided by financing activities of $602,985 for the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily due to the proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

Results of Continuing Operations

We have recorded no significant revenue from its inception through December 31, 2008.

Operating expenses decreased by $1,155,317 to $1,313,931 during the year ended December 31, 2008 compared to $2,469,248 for the year ended December 31, 2007. This decrease was primarily due to a $849,140 decrease in general and administrative expense and a $347,464 decrease in research and development costs.

General and administrative expenses consist of expenses for executive and administrative personnel, facilities, consulting services, travel and general corporate activities. The decrease in these costs resulted from a decrease in costs of $463,649 in consulting services, $280,632 in stock-based compensation to personnel, and $712,465 in investor relations. We expect general and administrative costs to increase in the future as our business matures and develops. Such costs were primarily funded through the issuance of our common stock to conserve our cash resources.

Research and development expenses consist primarily of personnel expenses, consulting fees and lab expenses. Research and development costs decreased to $91,308 in 2008 from $438,772 in 2007. Research and development expense decreased primarily because of less stock issued as compensation. Additionally during 2008 we received $677,169  for reimbursement of research and development costs related to a research study under the Department of Veterans Services as compared to $0received in 2007.  These amounts received reduced the amounts recorded as research and development expenses.  We believe that continued investment in product development is critical to attaining our strategic objectives and, as a result, expect product development expenses to increase significantly in future periods. We expense product development costs as they are incurred.

 
Professional fees increased from $56,782 in 2007 to $192,226 in 2008 due to higher legal expense for legal expense.

Other income (expense) consists of interest and other income and expense. Interest expense decreased to $45,375 in 2008 from $100,790 in 2007. The decrease in interest expense was primarily related to the debt extinguishment of the ADOT loan.

We had a net loss of $315,263 or $0.00 loss per share, and $2,307,051 or $0.14 loss per share, for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, due to items discussed above.

Inflation

Management believes that inflation has not had a material effect on the Company’s results of operations.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no off-balance sheet financing arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Estimates

Critical estimates made by management are, among others, estimates for current and deferred taxes, recoverability of intangible assets, collectibility of contract receivable, estimation of costs for long-term contracts, allowance for loss on contracts, value of patents and other intangibles, and the valuation of other assets. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Research and Development

Research and development costs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company incurred approximately $91,000, $439,000 and $2,717,000 of research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and for the period from Inception through December 31, 2008.

The accumulated costs associated with the research study are billed monthly to New Mexico Tech.  We record a receivable as an offset to research and development and a corresponding reduction in research and development costs in operations.  Total reduction of research and development costs at December 31, 2008 was $677,169.

Long Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the cost basis of a long-lived asset is greater than the projected future undiscounted net cash flows from such asset (excluding interest), an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses are calculated as the difference between the cost basis of an asset and its estimated fair value. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.

 
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors
Biomoda, Inc.
(A Development Stage Company)
Albuquerque, New Mexico

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Biomoda, Inc. (a development stage company) as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder's deficit and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and the period from January 3, 1990 (inception) to December 31, 2008. These financial statements are the responsibility of Biomoda, Inc.'s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. The consolidated financial statements for the period from January 3, 1990 (inception) through December 31, 2005 were audited by other auditors whose reports expressed unqualified opinions on those statements. The consolidated financial statements for the period from January 3, 1990 (inception) through December 31, 2005 include total revenues and net loss of $23 and $3,101,245, respectively. Our opinion on the consolidated statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for the period from January 3, 1990 (inception) through December 31, 2008, insofar as it relates to amounts for prior periods through December 31, 2005, is based solely on the reports of other auditors.

We conducted our audits in accordance with 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. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our 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 Biomoda, Inc. as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years then ended and for the period from January 3, 1990 (inception) to December 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is a development stage company which has experienced significant losses since inception with no significant revenues. Also discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, a significant amount of additional capital will be necessary to advance the development of the Company's products to the point at which they may become commercially viable. Those conditions, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. ORGANIZATION

FORMATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

Biomoda, Inc. ("Biomoda") is a development stage company incorporated in the state of New Mexico on January 3, 1990 (Inception).  On August 13, 2003, Biomoda formed a 100% owned subsidiary known as Biomoda Holdings, Inc., a Nevada corporation, for the purpose of research, development, production and marketing of medical and biomedical products. Biomoda and Biomoda Holdings, Inc. are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Company".

Biomoda's primary focus is on early cancer detection technology. Biomoda's unique cell-targeting technology is globally patented for the detection of pre-cancerous and cancerous conditions in all human tissue. This technology, based on a compound called Tetrakis Carboxy Phenyl Porphine (“TCPP”), was developed at St. Mary's hospital in Colorado and Los Alamos National Laboratories. Biomoda obtained a worldwide exclusive license to the TCPP technology from the University of California in late 1995, and began new research broadening the scope of the original patent and technology. In November 2000, Biomoda filed a new U.S. provisional patent application defining the ability of Biomoda's version of the TCPP to detect pre-cancerous and cancerous conditions in all human tissue. Biomoda began the commercialization process by trademarking the technology as CyPath®. Management expects to continue assay valuation work and register its product with the FDA in 2008.

On July 19, 2006, Biomoda closed its offering of up to 6,000,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form SB-2 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, declared effective on February 11, 2005. Biomoda’s market maker filed Form 211 with NASD Regulation to initiate quotations in its common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. The request was cleared by NASD on October 19, 2006.

DEVELOPMENT STAGE AND GOING CONCERN

Biomoda has been in the development stage since it began operations on January 3, 1990 and has not generated any significant revenues from operations and there is no assurance of any future revenues. As of December 31, 2008, Biomoda had an accumulated deficit of $7,530,871 and a working capital deficit of $360,737. Biomoda requires substantial additional funds to pursue its business plan and sustain its operations for the next twelve months.

Biomoda has raised approximately $1,920,000 funding for continuing research and development, obtaining regulatory approval and for the commercialization of its products through the sale of Biomoda's common stock offered in its Regulation S offering. There is no assurance that Biomoda will be able to obtain sufficient additional funds if needed, or that such funds, if available, will be obtainable on terms satisfactory to Biomoda. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should Biomoda be unable to continue as a going concern.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The summary of significant accounting policies presented below is designed to assist in understanding Biomoda's consolidated financial statements. Such consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are the representations of Company's management, who is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. These accounting policies conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") in all material respects, and have been consistently applied in preparing the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)
 
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Biomoda and its wholly owned subsidiary, Biomoda Holdings, Inc. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

USE OF ESTIMATES

Biomoda prepares its consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.

Significant estimates made by management include, among others, realizability of long-lived assets and estimates for deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

RISKS AND CONTINGENCIES

Biomoda has a limited operating history. Biomoda has not yet generated significant revenue from its business operations. As a new operating entity in its current form, Biomoda faces risks and uncertainties relating to its ability to successfully implement its strategy. Among other things, these risks include the ability to develop and sustain revenue growth; manage operations; competition; attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel; maintain and develop new strategic relationships; and the ability to anticipate and adapt to the changing bio-technology market and any changes in government regulations. Biomoda has no experience in obtaining regulatory clearance of these types of products. Therefore, Biomoda may be subject to the risks of delays in obtaining or failing to obtain regulatory clearance and other uncertainties, including financial, operational, technological, regulatory and other risks associated with an emerging business, including the potential risks of business failure.

CONCENTRATIONS

The financial instruments that potentially expose Biomoda to a concentration of credit risk consist principally of cash. Biomoda places its cash with high credit quality institutions. From time to time, Biomoda maintains cash balances at certain financial institutions in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") limit of $250,000.

FAIR VALUES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 107 "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments" requires disclosure of fair value information about financial instruments when it is practicable to estimate that value. Management believes that the carrying amounts of Biomoda's financial instruments, consisting primarily of cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximated their fair values as of December 31, 2008, due to their short-term nature.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost, and are being depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which generally range between three and ten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the estimated useful lives of the assets or the remaining lease terms. Biomoda has assumed that leases with terms of less than five years will be renewed and has used the estimated renewal time frame for amortization purposes. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renewals and betterments are capitalized. At the time of retirement, other disposition of property and equipment or termination of a lease, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is reflected in results of operations.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Long-lived assets, including intangible assets such as patents and trademarks, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. If the cost basis of a long-lived asset is greater than the projected future undiscounted net cash flows from such asset (excluding interest), an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses are calculated as the difference between the cost basis of an asset and its estimated fair value. There can be no assurance, however, that market conditions will not change which could result in impairment of long-lived assets in the future.

PATENTS

Costs incurred in connection with securing a patent, as well as attorneys fees, have been capitalized and amortized over seventeen years using the straight line-method. See Note 3 for additional information about patents. Costs related to patents pending are amortized beginning upon issuance of the related patents.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Biomoda incurred approximately $91,000, $439,000 and $2,717,000 of research and development expenses for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the period from Inception through December 31, 2008.

The accumulated costs associated with the research study are billed monthly to New Mexico Tech.  Biomoda records a receivable and a corresponding reduction in research and development costs in operations.  Total reduction of research and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2008 was $677,169.

Unbilled grants receivable represent costs incurred for property and equipment that has been leased for the research and development performed for New Mexico Tech.  These costs will be billed monthly as the payments for the leases are paid.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)

INCOME TAXES

Biomoda accounts for income taxes under the provisions of SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes". SFAS No. 109 requires recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the consolidated financial statements or tax returns.

Under this method deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values on the grant date.

BASIC AND DILUTED LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Biomoda computes loss per common share using SFAS No. 128 "Earnings Per Share". Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the reporting period. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts, such as stock options and warrants to issue common stock, were exercised or converted into common stock. There were no dilutive potential common shares as of December 31, 2008 or 2007. Because Biomoda has incurred net losses and there are no potential dilutive shares, basic and diluted loss per common share are the same.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 48 Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109.  FIN 48 prescribes detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement, and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.  Tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of FIN 48 and in subsequent periods.  Biomoda adopted FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007.  The impact of the adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on Biomoda’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)

In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements”.  SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  Biomoda adopted FASB No. 157 effective January 1, 2008.  The impact of the adoption of FASB No. 157 did not have a material effect on Biomoda’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – including an amendment of FASB statement No. 115.” This Statement permits all entities to choose, at specified election dates, to measure eligible items at fair value (the “fair value option”). A business entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. Upfront costs and fees related to items for which the fair value option is elected shall be recognized in earnings as incurred and not deferred. If an entity elects the fair value option for a held-to-maturity or available-for-sale security in conjunction with the adoption of this Statement, that security shall be reported as a trading security under Statement 115, but the accounting for a transfer to the trading category under paragraph 15(b) of Statement 115 does not apply. Electing the fair value option for an existing held-to-maturity security will not call into question the intent of an entity to hold other debt securities to maturity in the future. Biomoda adopted FASB No. 159 effective January 1, 2008.  The impact of the adoption of FASB No. 159 did not have a material effect on Biomoda’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Other recent accounting pronouncements did not or are not believed by management to have a material impact on Biomoda's present or future consolidated financial statements.

3. PATENTS

As of December 31, 2008 and 2007, Biomoda had advances and accrued interest of $201,643 and $184,989, respectively,  payable to two of its stockholders. Such advances bore interest at 10% per annum and are due on demand. Interest expense related to such advances for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the period from inception through December 31, 2008 were approximately $19,000, $20,000 and $186,000, respectively.

6. LONG TERM DEBT

We have entered into two- sixty month leases with Beckman Coulter for two flow cytometers related to the Department of Veterans Services study.  The total monthly payments  for both leases is $3,621.  The total of all lease payments are classified as long-term debt. Biomoda invoices New Mexico Tech for the monthly lease payments made. As of December 31, 2008, Biomoda had billed New Mexico Tech $84,660 related the lease equipment.

7. LINE OF CREDIT FROM AN AFFILIATED ENTITY

Biomoda had formerly entered into a line of credit agreement with Advanced Optics Electronics, Inc. (“Advanced Optics”), and as of December 31, 2007, Biomoda had a balance of approximately $814,000 on this line of credit and accrued interest of about $257,000.   Biomoda issued 1,176,471 shares to ADOT to pay off debt.  These shares were erroneously and possibly fraudulently valued at $1,000,000.  When the error was discovered, it was determined that these shares should have been valued at $3,529,000.

In 2008, Biomoda disputed the amount due on the line of credit from Advance Optics as Biomoda believed certain claims for expense payments made by Advanced Optics had been made in error.  In December 2008, Biomoda received a default judgment in  Biomoda’s favor.

As a result of the default judgment, Biomoda discovered that no loan to Biomoda from Advanced Optics was ever consummated nor monies exchanged. Upon agreement with Advanced Optics, Biomoda has written off the $1,030,748 debt with regard to the loan from Advanced Optics and recorded the amount as extinguishment of debt in 2008.

8.  EQUITY TRANSACTIONS

9. INCOME TAXES

For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, and the period from Inception through December 31, 2008, Biomoda had no significant current or deferred net income tax expense. Biomoda has recorded a 100% valuation allowance on all deferred tax assets.

The net deferred income tax asset (liability) consists of the following at December 31, 2008 and 2007:

Based upon the net operating losses incurred since inception, management has determined that the deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2008 will likely not be recognized. Consequently, Biomoda has established a valuation allowance against the entire deferred tax asset.

As of December 31, 2008, Biomoda had various federal and state net operating loss carry forward of approximately $6,165,800 that have initial carry forward periods between five and twenty years.

The utilization of some or all of Biomoda's net operating losses may be severely restricted now or in the future by a significant change in ownership as defined under the provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

A reconciliation of income taxes computed at the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate to the provision (benefit) for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is as follows:

Biomoda reported a net loss for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007. As a result, shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options have been excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share for the respective years because the inclusion of such stock options would be anti-dilutive.
 
11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

OPERATING LEASES

On November 10, 2003, Biomoda entered into a one-year lease agreement, with one year renewal options, to lease a laboratory facility comprised of two labs and four offices. A one year renewal was executed in November, 2006. The monthly rental payment is approximately $3,368. This lease agreement was modified on October 29, 2007 to include approx. 1000 square feet which includes two labs and one office for approximately $1,650 per month.  That lease ended December 15, 2008.

On December 15, 2008, Biomoda entered into a month to month agreement with WESST Enterprise Center for approximately 1,200 square feet of lab and office space at $2,747 per month.

Total rent expense for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the period from inception through December 31, 2008 was approximately $20,000, $43,000 and $233,000 respectively.

LEGAL MATTERS

On December 17, 2008 Judge Richard Knowles dismissed a claim against Biomoda for repayment of an alleged loan to Biomoda by Advanced Optics. Judge Knowles found that the Plaintiff, Leslie Robins, had no standing to bring the action on behalf of Advanced Optics. A counterclaim for over $1 million in damages against Mr. Robins and Advanced Optics was also dismissed with the agreement of Biomoda. That claim still exists as part of a Federal Court Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) action filed by Biomoda against Leslie Robins, Alvin Robins and their attorney, John Kearns. Kearns and Alvin Robins have defaulted and a default judgment , a binding judgment in favor of Biomoda,  has been rendered against them in the Federal Court action. This allow Biomoda to file a multi-million dollar list of damages against the defendants in default.

 
 
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

On February 6, 2008, we issued an 8-K Item 4.01  Change in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

On January 18, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company decided to dismiss Malone & Bailey, PC (“Malone”) as its independent registered public accounting firm.

Malone’s report on our financial statements for the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except for concerns about our ability to continue as a going concern.

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, and through January 18, 2008, there were no disagreements between the Company and Malone on any manner of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Malone, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its report on our financial statements for such years.

None of the reportable events described under Item 304(a)(1)(iv)(B) of Regulation S-B occurred within the two most recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, or within the interim period through January 18, 2008.

We provided Malone with a copy of the Current Report on Form 8-K prior to its filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and requested Malone to furnish a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the statements made above.  Attached to the Form 8-K as an exhibit is a copy of Malone’s letter to the SEC, dated January 25, 2008 stating its agreement with such statements.

Effective January 18, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the engagement of GBH CPAs, PC as its independent auditors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.  The Company did not consult with GBH CPAs, PC on any matters prior to their retention.
 
ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
As of December 31, 2008, we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. This evaluation was done under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer. Based on his evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in the Exchange Act Rule 13a-15e), our President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that as of December 31, 2008 such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective.

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for the company. Internal control over financial reporting is a process to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting for external purposes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes maintaining records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary for preparation of our financial statements; provide reasonable assurance that receipts and expenditures of company assets are made in accordance with management authorization; and provide reasonable assurance that unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of company assets that could have a material effect on our financial statements would be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting is not intended to provide absolute assurance that a misstatement of our financial statements would be prevented or detected.

Pursuant to Rule 13a-15d of the Exchange Act, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (1992) and Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Guidance for Smaller Public Companies (2006), issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2008.

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

Changes in Controls and Procedures

There were no significant changes made in our internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2008 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect these controls. Thus, no corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies or material weaknesses were necessary.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Internal Control

The Company's management, including the CEO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material errors. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations on all internal control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, and/or by management override of the control. The design of any system of internal control is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in circumstances, and/or the degree of compliance with the policies and procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective internal control system, financial reporting misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected on a timely basis.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of the Company.

To the Company’s knowledge, based solely on the review of copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required and to the best of its knowledge, during the year ended December 31, 2008, the Company complied with all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to the Company’s officers, directors and greater than ten percent shareholders.

Involvement in Legal Proceedings

To the best of the Company’s knowledge, during the past five years, none of the following occurred with respect to a present or former director or executive officer of the Company: (1) Any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time; (2) Any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses); (3) Being subject to any order, judgment or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of any competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining barring, suspending or otherwise limiting his involvement in any type of business, securities or banking activities; and (4) Being found by a court of competent jurisdiction (in a civil action), the SEC or the Commodities Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or commodities law, and the judgment has not been reversed, suspended or vacated.

On August 29, 2007, Biomoda, Inc and Advanced Optics Electronics, Inc. (ADOT) jointly filed a Complaint in Federal Court, case number 1:07-cv-00855 against Leslie Robins, Alvin Robins and John Kearns for Common Law Fraud, Violation of Federal and New Mexico Securities Laws, Conversion, Breach of Fiduciary Duty and Racketeering.  On August 7, 2007, Leslie Robins was removed from the Biomoda, Inc. Board of Directors as a director and on July 21, 2007 he was removed as an officer of the Company. 

Biomoda previously conducted an offering of up to 6,000,000 shares of its common stock pursuant to a registration statement on Form SB-2.  This registration statement expired on November 4, 2005, prior to selling any shares under this registered offering.  The Board is currently investigating the issuance of the following shares of common stock purportedly under the SB-2 registration statement pursuant to Mr. Robins' sole and unauthorized direction: 343,000 shares on or about June 5, 2007, 230,000 shares on or about June 8, 2007, 500,000 shares on or about June 25, 2007, 90,000 shares on or about July 11, 2007, 50,000 shares on or about July 11, 2007, and 555,000 shares on or about July 13, 2007.  Based upon the Board's initial investigation, all of such shares were issued without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any exemption therefrom.  As a result, such shares were issued in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  Such violations may subject Biomoda to enforcement action by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The Company continues to conduct its investigation of the issuance of such securities and other actions of Mr. Robins, as well as the Company's controls and procedures related to securities issuances and asset management.

 
On July 25, 2007, Leslie Robins filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment and Application for Temporary Restraining Order/ Preliminary and Permanent Injunction against Biomoda, John J. Cousins and Maria Zannes (collectively, the "Biomoda Parties"), Case No. D-202-CV-2007-06529, Second Judicial District Court, State of New Mexico. Also listed as nominal Plaintiffs were Advanced Optics Electronics, Inc. and Ari Ma’ayan. Mr. Ma’ayan since has notified the Court that he was listed as a Plaintiff without his knowledge or consent.  On August 13, 2007, Mr. Robins claiming to act on behalf of ADOT filed a second lawsuit seeking to foreclose on a loan between ADOT and Biomoda.  The lawsuits further allege that the Biomoda Parties are attempting a hostile takeover of Biomoda by unlawfully removing Mr. Robins. At oral argument held on August 7, 2007, the Court denied Plaintiffs' motion for a temporary restraining order that sought to enjoin the removal of Mr. Robins from the Board and denied Mr. Robins' motion to place Biomoda in receivership. The Biomoda Parties filed an answer and counterclaim to this lawsuit on August 13, 2007, in which they denied all of the Plaintiff's substantive claims and provided affirmative defenses. In addition, the Biomoda Parties counterclaimed that Mr. Robins actions in (i) directing the unauthorized and unregistered sale of securities in violation of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (ii) improper diversion of cash and other assets from Biomoda, (iii) improper dumping of Biomoda shares into the public markets, and (iv) defamation of officers and directors of Biomoda, has materially harmed Biomoda.  Mr. Robins moved to dismiss the initial lawsuit which was subsequently dismissed.  On August 29, 2007 Biomoda, Inc. and Advanced Optics Electronics, Inc. jointly filed the lawsuit in Federal Court as discussed in the initial paragraph of this section.  Among other things, the Biomoda Parties are seeking a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction and permanent injunction preventing Mr. Robins from acting in any capacity on behalf of Biomoda and seeking to freeze certain of Mr. Robins’ bank accounts. The Biomoda Parties also seek to recover monies and assets improperly taken from Biomoda.  Mr. Robins’ does not have the affirmation of the ADOT Board to pursue his lawsuit, and therefore may lack standing to bring the lawsuit.  ADOT’s President Michael Pete and ADOT Board Member John Cousins oppose the lawsuit brought by Mr. Robins.  Furthermore, any attempt by Mr. Robins acting as an agent of ADOT to foreclose on loans made by ADOT to Biomoda would be against both companies’ interests and may be a breach of Mr. Robins’ duty as an ADOT Board Member.

Update on Legal Proceedings

On December 17, 2008 Judge Richard Knowles dismissed a claim against Biomoda for repayment of an alleged loan to Biomoda by Advanced Optics Electronics. Judge Knowles found that the Plaintiff, Leslie Robins had no standing to bring the action on behalf of Advanced Optics. A counterclaim for over $1 million in damages against Mr. Robins and Advanced Optics was also dismissed with the agreement of Biomoda. That claim still exists as part of a Federal Court RICO action filed by Biomoda against Leslie Robins, Alvin Robins and their attorney, John Kearns. Kearns and Alvin Robins have defaulted and a default judgment has been rendered against them in the Federal Court action. A multi-million dollar list of damages has been filed by Biomoda against the defendants in default.

Counsel for Biomoda has discovered that no loan to Biomoda from Advanced Optics was ever consummated nor monies exchanged, and Counsel intends to use evidence in the RICO trial to prove that no loan existed and that, in fact, the loan was part of a broader scheme to defraud Biomoda allegedly perpetrated by the RICO defendants. Biomoda has written off the $1,030,748 debt with regard to the ADOT loan.
