QuantRx Biomedical Corporation was incorporated on December 5, 1986, in the State of Nevada. The Company’s principal business office is located at 5920 NE 112th Avenue, Portland, Oregon.  When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our,” “ours,” or “us” mean QuantRx Corporation, a Nevada corporation.

 

Recent Developments. On July 7, 2011, the Company and NuRx Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“NuRx”) settled all disputes between the parties relating to a complaint brought against the Company by NuRx relating to QN Diagnostics, LL, a joint venture between the Company and NuRx (“QND”). Since July 2009, the Company had focused on, among other development initiatives, the development of its POC lateral flow diagnostics products through QND.  QND was formed to develop and commercialize products incorporating the Company’s lateral flow strip technology and related lateral flow strip readers. Under the terms of the settlement with NuRx, the Company transferred its entire membership interest in QND to NuRx, including all assets held by the Company relating to QND, for and in consideration for the issuance to the Company of 12.0 million shares of common stock of NuRx (the "Settlement Shares"). As a result of the issuance of the Settlement Shares, the Company will hold an approximate 25% equity interest in NuRx, and the Company has no further contractual obligations or liabilities associated with its former interest in QND.

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2011, the Company also had minority investments in Genomics USA (“GUSA”), which is developing Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (“SNP”) chips, genome-based diagnostic chips for the next generation of genomic and proteomic diagnostic markets. The Company is currently evaluating GUSA with the objective of extracting the value of such investments for the benefit of the Company and its shareholders.
