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 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 and other customers.

        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 July 12, 2010 we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Common Stock Purchase Agreement") with Financière Elitech SAS, a société par actions simplifiée organized under the laws of France ("Elitech"), and Wescor, Inc., a Utah corporation and subsidiary of Elitech ("Wescor"). In accordance with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor will purchase up to two million dollars ($2,000,000) of the Company's common stock in three installments (subject to various conditions) and will receive warrants to purchase additional shares. Also, in connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, we entered into (i) a distribution agreement ("Master Distribution Agreement") with Elitech UK Limited, a private limited company formed under the laws of the United Kingdom ("Elitech UK Limited") and (ii) a joint product development agreement ("Joint Product Development Agreement") with Elitech. The details of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Master Distribution Agreement, and Joint Product Development Agreement are outlined below.

        The investment by Wescor will take place over a maximum of three tranches:

        First Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement—Pursuant to the First Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, on July 16, 2010, Wescor invested one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($1,250,000) to purchase 8,333,334 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration the Company issued a warrant to Wescor to purchase 4,166,667 shares at $0.15 per share. The Company entered into the Master Distribution Agreement with Elitech UK Limited and the Joint Product Development Agreement with Elitech, contemporaneously with the issuance of the First Tranche Shares.

Table of Contents

        Second Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement—Pursuant to the Second Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor will invest two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) to purchase 1,666,667 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we will issue a warrant to Wescor to purchase 833,333 shares at $0.15 per share. As a condition to the closing of the Second Tranche, the Company will have effectively transferred its product distribution activity outside of North America from our subsidiary, Corgenix U.K. Ltd., to Elitech UK Limited.

        Third Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement—Pursuant to the Third Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor will invest five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) to purchase 3,333,333 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we will issue a warrant to Wescor to purchase 1,666,667 shares at $0.15 per share. As a condition to the closing of the Third Tranche, the Executive Committee established under the Joint Product Development Agreement will have determined the feasibility of creating not less than two (2) new Corgenix assays as further described in the Joint Product Development Agreement.

        In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, at the initial closing, which occurred on July 16, 2010, we entered into the Master Distribution Agreement with Elitech UK Limited, and we entered into the Joint Product Development Agreement with Elitech. Under the terms and conditions of the Master Distribution Agreement, and as a condition precedent to the closing of the Second Tranche, Elitech UK Limited became the exclusive distributor of the Company's Products (as that term is defined therein) outside of North America. Accordingly, we along with Corgenix U.K. Ltd, assigned and/or transferred the economic benefit to Elitech UK Limited, and Elitech UK Limited assumed all of the obligations of the Company or Corgenix U.K. Ltd. under all distribution agreements executed by us or Corgenix U.K. Ltd., as the case may be, related to any distributor whose territory is outside of North America.

        Under the terms and conditions of the Joint Product Development Agreement, the Company and Elitech will work towards developing efficient technology for the commercialization of biochemical testing of substances related to human health. The goal of the co-development effort is the modification of certain of our assays for use in Elitech chemistry analyzers, serology instruments or other instruments, and the commercialization of those modified assays by Elitech and its affiliates. Phase I of the co-development is focused on the sharing and licensing of our assay technology to facilitate this purpose. The intent is that, in order to achieve joint development of our assays modified to be used with certain Elitech technology, all of our relevant assay technology will be available to Elitech and its affiliates to establish the broadest common immunoassay technology base to pursue co-development of new Corgenix assay technology. Such technology would include, for example, manufacturing know-how, testing and reliability information, visits to production facilities, and technical consultation, for which the burden of disclosure is reasonable.

        Wescor has the right to designate one individual for election or appointment to our Board of Directors, for so long as Wescor owns at least five percent of our outstanding common stock.

        After the First Tranche closed, through to the third (3rd) anniversary of the First Tranche's closing date, the rights and responsibilities of Wescor with respect to a potential change of control transaction by us will be governed by the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

        Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, if our board determines to initiate the solicitation of offers or indications of interest in pursuing a Change of Control transaction, as defined therein, (without having first received an unsolicited offer from a third party) then the board will, consistent with its fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value, design a process in consultation with legal counsel and any financial advisor the board elects. Wescor may participate in the process, on terms established by the Company's board to govern the solicitation of offers process. The terms of the process are further outlined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

Table of Contents

        Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, if our board receives an unsolicited third-party offer (or indication of interest in making an offer) with respect to a Change of Control transaction, we will provide written notice to Wescor. If our board elects to begin a process that could lead to a Change of Control then we will commence negotiations with the unsolicited bidder and with Wescor to seek the highest value available from those parties. The terms of the process are further outlined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

        On March 15, 2010, Corgenix UK Limited entered into a financing agreement with Faunus Group International. Inc., ("FGI") (see also Note 6 to the Financial Statements).

        As previously disclosed, on September 30, 2009, we, along with our wholly owned subsidiary, Corgenix, Inc., entered into a Financing Agreement, an Addendum to Financing Agreement, a Loan and Security Agreement and a Promissory Note (collectively, the "Summit Agreements") with Summit Financial Resources, L.P., a Hawaii limited partnership ("Summit"). We are jointly and severally liable for all obligations pursuant to the Summit Agreements. The Summit Agreements provide us and our subsidiary with a maximum credit line of $1,750,000 pursuant to an account factoring relationship, coupled with a secured line of credit.

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 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 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

6


Table of Contents


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.

        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.

        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 hospital based 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 is continuing to undergo 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 clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") 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 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 2010, we maintained the same level of sales and marketing management in our U.S. and European organization as in 2009.

    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 2010, we made significant advances on several existing partnership programs, and have identified several new opportunities for fiscal 2011.

    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 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 premium priced, 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,

Table of Contents

DSG-3, anti-polymer antibodies and thyroid peroxidase. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, these products represented approximately 2.1% 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, 2010 represented approximately 43.9% of our total product sales. These include: aCL IgG, IgA, and 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), 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, 2010, represented approximately 18.8% of our total product sales. We manufacture five products, and market others which 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, and Collagen Binding Assay. Corgenix UK also distributes twelve line of 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 (auto antibodies). All play important roles in maintaining this hemostasis. In clinical situations in which an

9


Table of Contents


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 2.5% 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, 2010 represented approximately 11.7% of our total product sales. The product was distributed through the Chugai distribution network in Japan from 1996 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 2010, the the last of the patents related to the HA License Agreement expired.

    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.

10


Table of Contents

        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 UK NEQAS (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, 2010, international sales represented approximately 27.4% 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 2009, we certified to ISO 13485:2003.

    Corgenix's Manufacturing Process Begins With the Qualification of Raw Materials

        Our manufacturing process begins 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 27.4% 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 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 2010, the last of the patents related to the HA License Agreement had expired.

    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 revenue producing 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

13


Table of Contents

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 granted 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, 2010) with payments having commenced in September, 2005. As of June 30, 2010, a total of 577,682 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 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 was extended to August 1, 2010 and that one-half, or 220,071, of the remaining 440,171 redeemable shares were exchanged for a two-year promissory note payable with interest at prime plus two percent (5.25% as of June 30, 2010) 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 noted above, as of June 30, 2010, a total of 577,682 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.

        On August 27, 2010, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Common Stock Purchase Agreement and Warrant dated August 1, 2010 (the "Third Amendment") among the Company and MBL.

        Pursuant to the Third Amendment, the remaining 220,071 Purchased Shares have been exchanged for a two-year promissory note in the principal amount of $125,000 payable with interest at the prime rate plus two percent (the "Third Note") with payments to commence on September 1, 2010. The

14


Table of Contents


Third Amendment also extends the Warrants to August 1, 2012 or until the principal balance of the Third Note is paid in full. The 220,071 Purchased Shares exchanged for the Third Note will be returned to the Company on a quarterly basis as payments are made on the Third Note.

        We have established OEM agreements with several international diagnostic companies, which in fiscal 2010 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.

        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 2010 and 2009, we spent $647,103 and $753,523, respectively, for research and development. This decrease primarily involved decreases in the costs of clinical studies and labor related expenses. Of the fiscal 2010 expenses, approximately 94% 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 increase over fiscal year 2010 due to our responsibilities under the ELITech Joint Product Development Agreement. Research and development contract revenue (specific product development programs funded by a strategic partner) amounted to $614,448 and $221,038 for the 2010 and 2009 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.

15


Table of Contents

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.

    Lassa Virus Program

        We have established a strategic collaboration with Tulane University ("Tulane") and other industry and academic partners, to develop a group of products to detect certain 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"), the first of 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.

16


Table of Contents

        Our primary competitors include Inotech, the Werfin Group, DIASORIN, Diagnostica Stago, American Bioproducts, Helena Laboratories Corporation (an existing licensee of Corgenix technology), Hemagen Diagnostics, 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 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 have four U.S. patents issued and one European patent issued for the AtherOx technology.

        The Antipolymer Antibody Patents.    The antipolymer (APA) assay which wemanufacture for 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.    Our Aspirin Works product is covered by three worldwide patents (two in the United States and one in Europe) owned by McMaster University which has granted Corgenix exclusive worldwide rights. The Company and Cayman Chemical Company ("Cayman") have been issued and additional U.S. patent covering this technology.

        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 2010, 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 80% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 and 84% for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, 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 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 as little as 90 days from submission, but the process has taken longer in recent years and we antipate that it will continue to take much longer in the future. 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

18


Table of Contents


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, 2010, we employed 40 employees worldwide (41 employees in 2009). Of the current 40 employees, 36 are full-time, and 4 are part-time. Of these, 2 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 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 our inception, net of dividends on redeemable common and redeemable preferred stock, have aggregated $13,208,445 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, factoring of accounts receivables, and the sales of common stock, redeemable common stock, and preferred stock. We have also financed operations through sales of diagnostic products and agreements with strategic partners. At June 30, 2010, trade and other receivables amounted to $1,408,969 versus $1,339,409 at June 30, 2009.

        We have developed and are continuing to modify an operating plan intended to eventually achieve sustainable profitability, positive cash flow from operations, and an adequate level of financial liquidity. Key components of this plan include consistent revenue growth and the cash to be derived from such growth, as well as the expansion of our strategic alliances with other biotechnology and diagnostic companies, securing diagnostic-related government contracts and grants, improving operating efficiencies to reduce our cost of sales as a percentage of sales, thereby improving gross margins, and lowering our overall operating expenses. Towards these efforts, the current fiscal year produced positive results in all of the aforementioned components, and management expects that we will be able to continue this success. However, if our sales were to decline, are flat, or achieve very slow growth, we would undoubtedly incur operating losses and a decreasing level of liquidity for that period of time. In view of this, and in order to further improve our liquidity and operating results, we entered into the ELITech collaboration and investment, described above.

        The $1,250,000 ELITech common stock investment in addition to the FGI $750,000 March 15, 2010 credit facility and the Summit $1,750,000 September 30, 2009 credit facility, in conjunction with our current revised forecasts, should provide adequate resources to continue operations for longer than 12 months.

         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

22


Table of Contents


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 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

23


Table of Contents


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 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.

Table of Contents


         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

    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.

26


Table of Contents

        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 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 fiscal years ending June 30, 2009 and 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 fiscal 2009 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

        As of July 1, 2008, we adopted the guidance set forth in the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC. This guidance established a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and clarified the definition of fair value within that framework. The guidance does not require any new fair value measurements in GAAP. The guidance further 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). The guidance 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 these provisions did not have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations, but 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, 2010:

In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity's fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-17 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

    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.

        The Company serves as a sub-contractor to Tulane University for several NIH funded grants and contracts related to development of diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics for hemorrhagic fever viruses. Under the terms of the subcontracts, the Company invoices Tulane monthly for all allocable expenses incurred in support of the grants and contracts. This includes fully burdened salaries, supplies, production kits, travel and equipment. The Company serves as the principal investigator for an NIH funded two-year contract to develop recombinant diagnostic tests for the filoviruses (Ebola and Marburg), and has engaged three subcontractors (Tulane University, Autoimmune Technologies and the Scripps Research Institute) to assist in the development. Each month the subcontractors invoice the Company for allocable monthly expenses including fully burdened salaries, supplies and travel; the Company consolidates these expenses with its own allocable expense and invoices the NIH.

        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, 2010 and 2009 totaled $647,103 and $753,523, respectively. Revenue from research and development contracts, as noted above, 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 2010 and 2009 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 $614,488 and $221,038 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Research and development contracts are generally short term with options to extend, and can be cancelled under specific circumstances.

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

    Results of Operations

    Year Ended June 30, 2010 compared to 2009

        Net sales.    Net sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 were $8,258,170, a 2.4% increase from $8,063,557 for fiscal 2009. Total North American sales increased $270,740, or 4.7%, to $5,996,345 while total sales to international distributors decreased $76,126, or 3.3%, to $2,261,826, from $2,337,952 for the prior fiscal year. With respect to the Company's major revenue categories and product lines, North American direct product-only sales decreased $191,907 or 4.6%, to $4,028,236, whereas international direct product-only sales decreased $83,391, or 4.7%, to $1,711,668. Worldwide category results were as follows: Phospholipids kit sales decreased $115,337, or 3.1%, to $3,624,065. Coagulation kit sales decreased $155,599, or 9.1%, to $1,554,004. HA kit sales decreased $5,185 or less than 1%, to $965,398, while Autoimmune kit sales decreased $34,803 or 17.0%, to $169,826. AspirinWorks sales amounted to $202,375, a 40.6% increase over the $143,951 realized in the prior year. Additionally, worldwide OEM revenues increased $44,670, or 5.5%, to $858,772. Revenue from contract manufacturing increased $242,931, or 118.3%, to $448,284. Revenue from contract research and development increased $384,822, or 167.6%, to $614,488. Finally, non-product revenue decreased $202,513, or 40.5%, to $596,722.

        Cost of sales.    Cost of sales, as a percentage of sales, improved slightly for the fiscal year at 43.8% of sales for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, compared to 44.4% in fiscal 2009.

        Selling and marketing expenses.    For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, selling and marketing expenses decreased $294,963 or 15.8% to $1,575,471 from $1,870,434 in fiscal 2009. Material changes from the prior fiscal year included decreases in advertising expenses, labor related expenses, Corgenix-UK selling expenses, consulting and outside services, travel and entertainment expenses, and trade show expenses, partially offset by a net increase in the other selling and marketing expenses.

        Research and development expenses.    Research and development expenses decreased $106,420, or 14.1% to $647,103 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, from $753,523 in fiscal 2009. This decrease primarily involved decreases in labor-related expenses and clinical studies expense, partially offset by net increases in other research and development expenses.

        General and administrative expenses.    For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, general and administrative expenses decreased $113,510 or 5.1% to $2,093,563 from $2,207,073 in fiscal 2009. This decrease was primarily attributable to decreases in aborted financing costs, consulting and outside services, labor-related expenses, and patent renewal fees, partially offset by net increases in other general and administrative expenses.

        Interest expense.    Interest expense decreased $980,161, or 75.3%, to $321,063 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, from $1,301,224 in fiscal 2009. This substantial decrease was due primarily to the accelerated write off of 92.3% of the unaccreted discount and unamortized deferred financing costs to interest expense as a result of the payoff of the convertible notes as part of the Benefactor financing in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

    EBITDA

        The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and non cash expense associated with stock-based compensation ("Adjusted EBITDA") increased $412,240 or 102.1% to $815,981 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 compared with $403,741 for the prior fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. 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 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:

    Financing Agreements

        As previously noted, on July 12, 2010 we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement with Elitech and Wescor, Inc. In accordance with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor will purchase up to two million dollars ($2,000,000) of the Company's common stock in three installments (subject to various conditions) and will receive warrants to purchase additional shares. Also, in connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, we entered into a Master Distribution Agreement with Elitech UK Limited, and (ii) a Joint Product Development Agreement with Elitech. The details of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Master Distribution Agreement, and Joint Product Development Agreement are again outlined below.

        The investment by Wescor will take place over a maximum of three tranches:

        First Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement—Pursuant to the First Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, on July 16, 2010, Wescor invested one million two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($1,250,000) to purchase 8,333,334 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration the Company issued a warrant to Wescor to purchase 4,166,667 shares at $0.15 per share. The Company entered into the Master Distribution Agreement with Elitech UK Limited and the Joint Product Development Agreement with Elitech, contemporaneously with the issuance of the First Tranche Shares.

        Second Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement—Pursuant to the Second Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor will invest two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) to purchase 1,666,667 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we will issue a warrant to Wescor to purchase 833,333 shares at $0.15 per share. As a condition to the closing of the Second Tranche, the Company will have effectively transferred its product distribution activity outside of North America from our subsidiary, Corgenix U.K. Ltd., to Elitech UK Limited.

        Third Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement—Pursuant to the Third Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor will invest five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) to purchase 3,333,333 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we will issue a warrant to Wescor to purchase 1,666,667 shares at $0.15 per share. As a

33


Table of Contents


condition to the closing of the Third Tranche, the Executive Committee established under the Joint Product Development Agreement will have determined the feasibility of creating not less than two (2) new Corgenix assays as further described in the Joint Product Development Agreement.

        In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, at the initial closing, which occurred on July 16, 2010, we entered into the Master Distribution Agreement with Elitech UK Limited, and we entered into the Joint Product Development Agreement with Elitech. Under the terms and conditions of the Master Distribution Agreement, and as a condition precedent to the closing of the Second Tranche, Elitech UK Limited became the exclusive distributor of the Company's Products (as that term is defined therein) outside of North America. Accordingly, we along with Corgenix U.K. Ltd, assigned and/or transferred the economic benefit to Elitech UK Limited, and Elitech UK Limited assumed all of the obligations of the Company or Corgenix U.K. Ltd. under all distribution agreements executed by us or Corgenix U.K. Ltd., as the case may be, related to any distributor whose territory is outside of North America.

        Under the terms and conditions of the Joint Product Development Agreement the Company and Elitech will work towards developing efficient technology for the commercialization of biochemical testing of substances related to human health. The goal of the co-development effort is the modification of certain of our assays for use in Elitech chemistry analyzers, serology instruments or other instruments, and the commercialization of those modified assays by Elitech and its affiliates. Phase I of the co-development is focused on the sharing and licensing of our assay technology to facilitate this purpose. The intent is that, in order to achieve joint development of our assays modified to be used with certain Elitech technology, all of our relevant assay technology will be available to Elitech and its affiliates to establish the broadest common immunoassay technology base to pursue co-development of new Corgenix assay technology. Such technology would include, for example, manufacturing know-how, testing and reliability information, visits to production facilities, and technical consultation, for which the burden of disclosure is reasonable.

        Wescor has the right to designate one individual for election or appointment to our Board of Directors, for so long as Wescor owns at least five percent of our outstanding common stock.

        After the First Tranche closed, through to the third (3rd) anniversary of the First Tranche's closing date, the rights and responsibilities of Wescor with respect to a potential change of control transaction by us will be governed by the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

        Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, if our board determines to initiate the solicitation of offers or indications of interest in pursuing a Change of Control transaction, as defined therein, (without having first received an unsolicited offer from a third party) then the board will, consistent with its fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value, design a process in consultation with legal counsel and any financial advisor the board elects. Wescor may participate in the process, on terms established by the Company's board to govern the solicitation of offers process. The terms of the process are further outlined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

        Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, if our board receives an unsolicited third-party offer (or indication of interest in making an offer) with respect to a Change of Control transaction, we will provide written notice to Wescor. If our board elects to begin a process that could lead to a Change of Control then we will commence negotiations with the unsolicited bidder and with Wescor to seek the highest value available from those parties. The terms of the process are further outlined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

        On March 15, 2010, Corgenix UK Limited entered into a financing agreement with FGI (see also Note 3 to the Financial Statements). Under the Agreement, Corgenix UK agrees to sell all of Corgenix UK's right, title and interest in and to specified accounts receivable and all merchandise represented by those accounts. In exchange, FGI will advance funds to the Company. The Company will use the funds

34


Table of Contents


for working capital purposes and to continue to fund the operations of Corgenix UK. The Company, and Corgenix, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, have guaranteed Corgenix UK's obligations to FGI.

        The purchase price for each sold account is 85% of the face amount of the account, less certain fees set forth in the Agreement. An administrative fee of 1.15% of the average monthly balance of the purchased accounts (the "Administrative Fee") will be payable monthly. The Company paid FGI a one-time facility fee of $10,000 upon funding, and had already paid an additional $10,000 deposit to reimburse FGI for actual expenses incurred in connection with FGI's review and approval process as well as auditor fees, attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in documenting the financing agreement.

        Corgenix UK must maintain an average monthly net balance of funds advanced of no less than US$200,000 during the term of the agreement. If Corgenix UK does not sell at least $200,000 of account debt to FGI each month, then interest and fees will be applied to the difference between $200,000 and the amount of debt actually sold. Interest will be charged on each advance at the greater of 8.5% per annum or 1.5% above the U.S. Prime Rate. The maximum amount available for advance to the Company is US$750,000.

        Certain recourse events and events of default will trigger early payment obligations of Corgenix UK under the Agreement, and FGI has certain rights as a secured party in case of any default or recourse event.

        Corgenix UK makes certain covenants, representations and warranties typical of a secured financing arrangement, and has agreed to report certain information to FGI.

        As previously disclosed, on September 30, 2009, we, along with our wholly owned subsidiary, Corgenix, Inc., entered into the Summit Agreements with Summit. We are jointly and severally liable for all obligations pursuant to the Summit Agreements. The Summit Agreements provide us and our subsidiary with a maximum credit line of $1,750,000 pursuant to an account factoring relationship, coupled with a secured line of credit.

    Liquidity and Capital Resources

        At June 30, 2010, our working capital increased by $132,696, to $2,145,930 from $2,013,234 at June 30, 2009, and concomitantly, our current ratio (current assets divided by current liabilities) increased from 1.69 to 1 at June 30, 2009 to 1.92 to 1 at June 30, 2010. This increase in working capital is primarily attributable to a reduced net loss for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, complimented by the incremental proceeds of the Summit financing at September 30.

        At June 30, 2010, trade and other receivables were $1,408,969 versus $1,339,409 at June 30, 2009. Accounts payable, accrued payroll and other accrued expenses decreased by a combined $536,810 from the end of fiscal 2009. At June 30, 2010, inventories were $2,499,557, a slight decrease versus the $2,596,048 at June 30, 2009.

        For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, cash provided by operating activities amounted to $62,715, versus cash used by operating activities of $400,567 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. The reduction in the cash used by operations for the current fiscal year resulted primarily from the substantial reduction in the net loss for the period.

        Net cash used in investing activities, the purchase of laboratory equipment, leasehold improvements and computer equipment was $101,955 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010, compared to $90,114 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009.

        Net cash used by financing activities amounted to $243,502 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 compared to $229,180 for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009. This decrease versus the comparable

35


Table of Contents


prior year was primarily due to the proceeds from the Summit inventory loan in addition to the net lower payments on notes payable and capital lease obligations.

        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 redeemable common and redeemable preferred stock, have aggregated $13,208,445 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, factoring of accounts receivables, and the sales of common stock, redeemable common stock, and preferred stock. We have also financed operations through sales of diagnostic products and agreements with strategic partners. At June 30, 2010, trade and other receivables amounted to $1,408,969 versus $1,339,409 at June 30, 2009.

        We have developed and are continuing to modify an operating plan intended to eventually achieve sustainable profitability, positive cash flow from operations, and an adequate level of financial liquidity. Key components of this plan include consistent revenue growth and the cash to be derived from such growth, as well as the expansion of our strategic alliances with other biotechnology and diagnostic companies, securing diagnostic-related government contracts and grants, improving operating efficiencies to reduce our cost of sales as a percentage of sales, thereby improving gross margins, and lowering our overall operating expenses. Towards these efforts, the current fiscal year produced positive results in all of the aforementioned components, and management expects that we will be able to continue this success. However, if our sales were to decline, are flat, or achieve very slow growth, we would undoubtedly incur operating losses and a decreasing level of liquidity for that period of time. In view of this, and in order to further improve our liquidity and operating results, we entered into the ELITech collaboration and investment, described above.

        The $1,250,000 ELITech common stock investment in addition to the FGI $750,000 March 15, 2010 credit facility and the Summit $1,750,000 September 30, 2009 credit facility, in conjunction with our current revised forecasts, should provide adequate resources to continue operations for longer than 12 months.

    Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, other than the lease agreement described below.

    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

36


Table of Contents

    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, 2008, 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.

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

Item 9(T).    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 during the quarter ended June 30, 2010..

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 Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on their assessment, management concluded that we maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2010.

        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 Sarbanes-Oxley Rule 404(c).

        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.

Audit Committee Report

        The primary purpose of the Audit Committee is to assist the Board of Directors in fulfilling its responsibilities with respect to matters involving our accounting, financial reporting and internal control functions. The Audit Committee has sole authority to select our independent registered public accounting firm.

        Management is responsible for preparing the financial statements so that they comply with generally accepted accounting principles of the United States of America and fairly present our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows; issuing financial reports that comply with the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission; and establishing and maintaining adequate internal control structures and procedures for financial reporting. The Audit Committee's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.

        In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as currently in effect, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) in Rule 3200T.

        Our independent registered public accounting firm also provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and letter required by the PCAOB, as currently in effect, and the Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm that firm's independence. The Audit Committee has considered whether the independent registered public accounting firm's provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the independence of the accountants.

        Based on the above discussion and review with management and the independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2010 for filing with the SEC.

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.


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, 2010.

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").

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.

        The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to (i) discharge the Board's responsibility relating to compensation of our executive officers; (ii) review and recommend to the Board compensation plans, policies and programs as well as approve individual executive officer compensation and (iii) prepare the annual report on executive compensation required to be included in our annual proxy statement. Additionally, the Committee overseas the Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, as well as executive management appointments at our headquarters and major subsidiaries. Committee members are appointed by the Board of Directors on the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and serve such terms as the Board may determine, or until their earlier resignation, death or removal by the Board.

        The main objective of the Compensation Committee is the development of the philosophy and policy that will guide executive pay practices and decisions, such as:

    Recruitment and retention of officers;

    Creation of pay plans that tie to stockholder interests;

    Establishment of pay programs with the appropriate mix of fixed pay versus variable pay;

    Incorporation of an appropriate amount of risk and stretch goals into incentive programs;

    Establishment of pay programs which are efficient from tax, accounting and securities law perspectives;

    Ensure there are no barriers to desired business transactions; and

    Ensure protection of proprietary information and protect against future competition by executives through employment agreements and non-compete covenants.

The most significant duties and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are as follows:

    Annually review and approve the goals and objectives relevant to CEO compensation and evaluate the CEO's performance in light of the goals and objectives and establish the individual elements of the CEO's total compensation;

    Establish compensation plans, including policies and programs with respect to the incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans;

    Review and monitor our employee and management compensation and benefit plans and policies, provide oversight of any employee benefit plans, and review and approve the compensation of executive officers;

    Review and approve, for the CEO and other officers, when and if appropriate, employment agreements, severance agreements and change of control provisions/agreements; and

    Report on the executive compensation as required by applicable laws and regulations for inclusion in our proxy statement or other SEC filings.

        Our compensation Committee has the authority to see advice and assistance from outside consultants and our executive officers in determining and evaluating director, CEO and other executive officer compensation. The overall goals have been to attract, retain, motivate, and align the executives and directors with stockholder share value. During fiscal 2010, we solicited advice from Sharon L. Anderson, HR Consulting ("the consultant"). The data provided in 2010 is referred to as the "2010 Report." The consultant provided us with recommendations and findings on executive base pay, bonus, long-term incentive cash and equity awards. The recommendations and findings are used for executives as a long-term target to give the various pay components a grounded focus. The Compensation Committee has the authority to obtain advice and assistance from any officer or any outside legal experts or other advisors. The Compensation Committee has also utilized the advice of the CEO in determining compensation and performance of executive officers.

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, 2010, no 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, 2010 and June 30, 2009.

Short-Term Incentive Compensation

        For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, 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 issued under this plan were 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 fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (see Managements' Discussion and Analysis), 737,099 shares of our common stock were earned by the corporate officers and were issued to the corporate officers at the end of September 2009., The shares issued under this plan vested immediately upon issuance. No similar plan or issuance of stock was previously made under such a short-term plan at any time in the Company's history prior to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, and no such plan or stock issuance was made for the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

        The following table sets forth, as of June 30, 2010, certain information regarding the ownership of our common stock by (i) each person known by us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock (ii) each of our directors, (iii) each executive officer and (iv) all of our executive officers and directors as a group. Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each person shown is c/o Corgenix, 11575 Main Street, Suite 400, Broomfield, CO 80020. Beneficial ownership, for purposes of this table, includes debt convertible into common stock and options and warrants to purchase common stock that are either currently exercisable or convertible or will be exercisable or convertible within 60 days of June 30, 2010. No director or executive officer beneficially owned more than 5% of the common stock.

        The percentage ownership data is based on 30,982,803 shares of our common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2010, plus warrants and stock options outstanding in addition to common shares underlying convertible debt and redeemable convertible preferred stock. Under the rules of the SEC, beneficial ownership includes shares over which the indicated beneficial owner exercises voting and/or investment power. Shares of common stock subject to options or warrants or underlying convertible debt that are currently exercisable or convertible, or will become exercisable or convertible, within 60 days of June 30, 2010 are deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of the person holding the option or warrant, or convertible promissory note, but are not deemed outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as otherwise

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.

Item 14.    Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

        Our principal outside accountant who serves as our auditor and our principal outside accountant for preparation of our Federal and State income tax returns is Hein & Associates LLP. The aggregate fees billed for each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by our principal accountants are as follows:

 
  Audit Fees
(Includes Form
10-Q Reviews &
Consents)
  Audit Related
Fees
  Tax Fees   All Other Fees  

2010

  $ 121,046   $   $ 8,700   $  

2009

  $ 108,588   $   $ 12,645   $  

        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.

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, 2010 and 2009, 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, 2010 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, 2010 and 2009

(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. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements include allowance for doubtful accounts, share-based compensation expense, useful lives of long-lived assets, and the recognition and measurement of income tax benefits and related deferred tax asset valuantion allowances. 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

June 30, 2010 and 2009

(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, 2010. Components of inventories as of June 30 are as follows:

 
  2010   2009  

Raw materials

  $ 431,235   $ 589,025  

Work-in-process

    883,272     700,658  

Finished goods

    1,185,050     1,306,365  
           

  $ 2,499,557   $ 2,596,048  
           

(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 $0 and $43,968 in fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense, which totaled $439,028 and $448,018 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, 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 guidance set forth in the Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Topic of the FASB ASC. Pursuant to the aforementioned guidance, 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 guidance. Identifiable intangibles with estimated useful lives continue to be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives and reviewed for impairment in accordance with the guidance set forth in the Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long Lived Assets Topic of the FASB ASC.

        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, 2010 and 2009

(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, 2010, the Company had accrued a total of $3,075 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)    Financial Instruments

        Financial instruments consist principally of cash, money market funds, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable. We believe that the fair value of financial instruments approximates the recorded book value of those instruments due to the short term nature of the instruments, or stated interest rates that approximate market interest rates.

(j)    Advertising Costs

        Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising costs included in selling and marketing expenses totaled $46,274 and $95,859 in fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(k)   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.

(l)    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, and, in some cases, holds the product for shipment to designated customers, pursuant to the manufacturing agreement. Revenue under these arrangements is recognized when the manufacturing process is complete and risk of ownership has passed.

(m)  Research and Development

        The Company serves as a sub-contractor to Tulane University for several NIH funded grants and contracts related to development of diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics for hemorrhagic fever viruses. Under the terms of the subcontracts, the Company invoices Tulane monthly for all allocable expenses incurred in support of the grants and contracts. This includes fully burdened salaries, supplies, production kits, travel and equipment. The Company serves as the principal investigator for an NIH funded two-year contract to develop recombinant diagnostic tests for the filoviruses (Ebola and Marburg), and has engaged three subcontractors (Tulane University, Autoimmune Technologies and the Scripps Research Institute) to assist in the development. Each month the subcontractors invoice the Company for allocable monthly expenses including fully burdened salaries, supplies and travel; the Company consolidates these expenses with its own allocable expense and invoices the NIH.

        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, 2010 and 2009 totaled $647,103 and $753,523, respectively. Revenue from research and development contracts, as noted above, 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 2010 and 2009 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 $614,488 and $221,038 for the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Research and development contracts are generally short term with options to extend, and can be cancelled under specific circumstances.

(n)   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.

(o)   Stock-Based Compensation

        The Company accounts for share-based payments under the guidance as set forth in the Share-Based Payment Topic of the FASB ASC, 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. This guidance 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. The guidance further requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, as necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

        For purposes of determining estimated fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant under this guidance, 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 this guidance 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 the guidance 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 this guidance 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.

(p)   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, plus common shares underlying convertible preferred stock , totaling 37,114,897 and 39,039,941 shares for fiscal years 2010 and 2009, respectively, are not included in the calculation of weighted average diluted common shares 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.

(q)   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.

(r)   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 redeemable common and redeemable preferred stock, have aggregated $13,208,445 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, factoring of accounts receivables, and the sales of common stock, redeemable common stock, and preferred stock. We have also financed operations through sales of diagnostic products and agreements with strategic partners. At June 30, 2010, trade and other receivables amounted to $1,408,969 versus $1,439,254 at June 30, 2009.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

        We have developed and are continuing to modify an operating plan intended to eventually achieve sustainable profitability, positive cash flow from operations, and an adequate level of financial liquidity. Key components of this plan include consistent revenue growth and the cash to be derived from such growth, as well as the expansion of our strategic alliances with other biotechnology and diagnostic companies, securing diagnostic-related government contracts and grants, improving operating efficiencies to reduce our cost of sales as a percentage of sales, thereby improving gross margins, and lowering our overall operating expenses. Towards these efforts, the current fiscal year produced positive results in all of the aforementioned components, and management expects that we will be able to continue this success. However, if our sales were to decline, are flat, or achieve very slow growth, we would undoubtedly incur operating losses and a decreasing level of liquidity for that period of time. In view of this, and in order to further improve our liquidity and operating results, we entered into the ELITech collaboration and investment, as described in Note 9.

        The $1,250,000 ELITech common stock investment in addition to the FGI $750,000 March 15, 2010 credit facility and the Summit $1,750,000 September 30, 2009 credit facility, in conjunction with our current forecasts, should provide adequate resources to continue operations for longer than 12 months.

(s)   Shipping and Handling Costs

        Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold.

(t)    Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

        With respect to the guidance set forth in the Disclosures of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Topic of the FASB ASC, which 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; and c) derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity's financial position, financial performance and cash flows, we do not expect that the application of the principles set forth under this Topic will be applicable to our financial statements.

        In April 2010, the FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) issued Accounting Standards Update 2010-17 (ASU 2010-17), Revenue Recognition-Milestone Method (Topic 605): Milestone Method of Revenue Recognition. The amendments in this Update are effective on a prospective basis for milestones achieved in fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted. If a vendor elects early adoption and the period of adoption is not the beginning of the entity's fiscal year, the entity should apply the amendments retrospectively from the beginning of the year of adoption. The Company does not expect the provisions of ASU 2010-17 to have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

        As of July 1, 2008, we adopted the guidance set forth in the Fair Value Measurements Topic of the FASB ASC. This guidance established a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP and clarified the definition of fair value within that framework. The guidance does not require any new fair value

measurements in GAAP. The guidance further 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). The guidance 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 these provisions did not have a material effect on our financial condition and results of operations, but 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, 2010:

(3) Due to Factor

        On March 15, 2010, Corgenix UK entered into a financing agreement with FGI. Under the Agreement, Corgenix UK agrees to sell all of Corgenix UK's right, title and interest in and to specified accounts receivable and all merchandise represented by those accounts. In exchange, FGI will advance funds to the Company. The Company will use the funds for working capital purposes and to continue to fund the operations of Corgenix UK. The Company, and Corgenix, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, have guarantee Corgenix UK's obligations to FGI.

        The purchase price for each sold account is 85% of the face amount of the account, less certain fees set forth in the Agreement. An administrative fee of 1.15% of the average monthly balance of the purchased accounts (the "Administrative Fee") will be payable monthly. The Company paid FGI a one-time facility fee of $10,000 upon funding, and had already paid an additional $10,000 deposit to reimburse FGI for actual expenses incurred in connection with FGI's review and approval process as well as auditor fees, attorneys' fees and expenses incurred in documenting the financing agreement.

        Corgenix UK must maintain an average monthly net balance of funds advanced of no less than $200,000 during the term of the agreement. If Corgenix UK does not sell at least $200,000 of account debt to FGI each month, then interest and fees will be applied to the difference between $200,000 and the amount of debt actually sold. Interest will be charged on each advance at the greater of 8.5% per annum or 1.5% above the U.S. Prime Rate. The maximum amount available for advance to the Company is $750,000. On March 31, 2010, the initial advance to us from FGI on eligible international accounts receivable amounted to $114,459 which represented approximately 85% of international accounts receivable sold to them totaling $134,658. As of June 30, 2010, the amount due to FGI was $277,927.

        The Agreement term is 36 months; however Corgenix UK may terminate the Agreement at any time after two years by giving FGI not less than ninety days prior written notice and paying a termination fee of $25,000. FGI may terminate the Agreement at any time by giving Corgenix UK not less than thirty days prior written notice or without notice if any event of default or recourse event occurs.

        On September 30, 2009, we, along with our wholly owned subsidiary, Corgenix, Inc., entered into a Financing Agreement, an Addendum to Financing Agreement, a Loan and Security Agreement and a Promissory Note (collectively, the "Summit Agreements") with Summit. We are jointly and severally liable for all obligations pursuant to the Summit Agreements. The Agreements with Summit provide us and our subsidiary with a maximum credit line of $1,750,000 pursuant to an account factoring relationship, coupled with a secured line of credit.

        Under the Financing Agreement, we agree to sell all of our right, title and interest in and to accounts identified for purchase by Summit from time to time. The purchase price for each sold account equals the face amount of each account multiplied by the applicable advance rate, minus all interest and fees and charges as described in the Financing Agreement. In addition, interest will accrue on advances made by way of purchased accounts at the rate of prime plus 1.5% per annum until Summit receives payment in full on each account. If Summit does not receive full payment on a purchased account by the due date specified in the Financing Agreement, then we or our subsidiary (as applicable) must repurchase that account, and pay Summit the default interest rate until it is repaid.

(3) Due to Factor (Continued)

        During the initial funding period (which is the earlier of 120 days after the date of the Agreements, or the date of the second term loan advance), the advance rate on eligible accounts receivable will be 90%, and 85% thereafter, unless Summit elects in its discretion to apply a different percentage. On September 30, 2009, the initial advance to us from Summit on eligible accounts receivable amounted to $632,553, which represented 90% of eligible accounts receivable of $702,908.

        The accounts receivable sold to factors are treated as a secured borrowing. During fiscal 2010 and 2009, we sold $5,263,328 and $2,143,260, respectively, of our accounts receivable invoices to factors for approximately $4,647,499 and $1,964,521. Fees paid to factors for interest and other services for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 totaled $258,301 and $69,199, respectively.

        Pursuant to the Addendum to Financing Agreement, Summit may, in its sole discretion and without any duty to do so, elect from time to time to make advances based upon Acceptable Inventory, which is defined in the addendum to mean inventory approved for intended use by the Food and Drug Administration, among other criteria.

        Advances based upon Acceptable Inventory may be made upon request so long as the aggregate amount of all advances based upon Acceptable Inventory outstanding and unpaid does not exceed the lesser of (a) Fifty Percent (50%) of the lower of book value, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, of the Acceptable Inventory, (b) Four Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($450,000), (c) Fifty Percent (50%) of Client's outstanding Acceptable Accounts, and (d) together with the aggregate amount of all other outstanding Advances, the Maximum Credit Line. On September 30, 2009, the initial advance to us from Summit on Acceptable Inventory amounted to $351,454, and at June 30, 2010, the inventory loan payable amounted to $306,556. As of June 30, 2010, the amount due to Summit was $549,028.

        Summit may decline to make advances based upon Acceptable Inventory for any reason or for no reason, without notice, regardless of any course of conduct or past advances based upon Acceptable Inventory by Summit.

        We used a portion of the initial advance to retire the debt evidenced by the Factoring and Security Agreement to Benefactor Funding Corp, a Colorado corporation. The payoff to Benefactor amounted $580,786.

        Other Receivables at June 30, 2010 and June 30, 2009 represent the retained percentages of the factored accounts receivable, which in the case of both FGI and Summit, is 15% of each invoice factored.

(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 2010, 38,068 shares were issued under the plans. In fiscal 2009, 83,819 shares were issued under the plans.

        In fiscal 2010 and 2009, the benefits expense recognized for the 15% discount on shares purchased under this plan amounted to $444 and $1,431, respectively.

(b)   Incentive Stock Option Plan

        The Company's Amended and Restated 1999 Incentive Stock Plan and the 2007 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.

        The aggregate intrinsic value as of June 30, 2010 measures the difference between the market price as of June 30, 2010 and the exercise price. No options were exercised during the two year period ended June 30, 2010. Consequently, no cash was received, nor did the Company realize any tax deductions related to exercise of stock options during the year.

        At June 30, 2010, there was no unrecognized compensation cost from unvested stock options.

        The weighted average per share fair value range of stock options granted during the twelve-month periods ending June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.095-$0.099 and $0.046, respectively. The fair value was estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:

Of these warrants, none were newly or incrementally issued in fiscal 2010 and 2009.

(c)   Short-Term Incentive Compensation

        For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, 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 issued under this

plan were based upon the closing stock price of the company's common stock as of June 30, 2010, which was $0.095. Based upon the reported EBITDA figures for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 (see Managements' Discussion and Analysis), 737,099 shares of our common stock were earned by the corporate officers and were issued to the corporate officers at the end of September 2009. The shares issued under this plan vested immediately upon issuance. No similar plan or issuance of stock was previously made under such a short-term plan at any time in the Company's history prior to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, and no such plan or stock issuance was made for the current fiscal year ended June 30, 2010.

(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. 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);

(4) Equity (Continued)

            (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)   The liquidation preference of the convertible preferred stock has been deemed to be a redemption feature of said stock. Accordingly, over the three year period, the amount of the convertible preferred stock as shown on the Balance Sheet, will be accreted, such that, at the end of the three year period, it amount will be equal to the amount of common stock capable of being converted by the convertible preferred stock. This accretion of the convertible preferred stock will be reflected on the Statement of Operations, as accreted dividends.

(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, 2010, are as follows:

(b)   Employment Agreements

        The Company has employment agreements with five key employees, all of whom are also stockholders. In addition to salary and benefit provisions, each of the above employment agreements is for an initial term of three years, provides for severance payments equal to twelve month's salary and benefits if the employment of the officer is terminated without cause (as defined in the respective agreements), and an automobile expense reimbursement of $500 per month.

(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, 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 granted 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, 2010) with payments having commenced in September, 2005. As of June 30, 2010, a total of 577,682 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 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 in fiscal 2005.

        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 was extended to August 1, 2010 and that one-half, or 220,071, of the remaining 440,171 redeemable shares were exchanged for a two-year promissory note payable with interest at prime plus two percent (5.25% as of June 30, 2010) 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 noted above, as of June 30, 2010, a total of 577,682 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. As of September, 2010, MBL and the Company have agreed to exchange the remaining redeemable shares for a two-year note, on similar terms to the two original notes.

(6) Income Taxes

        On July 1, 2007, the Company adopted the guidance as set forth in the Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes Topic of the FASB ASC, which 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 the guidance, 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 the guidance was adopted. If there was an adjustment related to implementation of the guidance, 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 June 30, 2010.

        Income tax expense differed from the amounts computed by applying the U.S. federal income tax rate of 38% to pretax income as a result of the following:

 
  2010   2009  

Computed expected tax benefit

  $ (2,000 ) $ (555,000 )

    (2,877,000 )   (2,962,000 )
           

Net deferred tax assets

  $   $  
           

        At June 30, 2010, the Company has a net operating loss carry forward for income tax purposes of approximately $5,800,000 expiring during the period from 2014 to 2028. Research and experimentation tax credit carry forwards approximate $380,000. 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 2010 and 2009 is headquartered in the U.S. and represented approximately 7.2% and 7.1% of sales in the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and 7.0% and 3.4% of accounts receivable at June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

(8) Reportable Segments

        The Company has two segments of business, North American and international operations. North American operations represent all sales in North America (U.S., Canada and Mexico). International

(9) Subsequent Events

        On July 12, 2010 we entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement (the "Common Stock Purchase Agreement") with Financière Elitech SAS, a société par actions simplifiée organized under the laws of France ("Elitech"), and Wescor, Inc., a Utah corporation and subsidiary of Elitech ("Wescor"). In accordance with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor will purchase up to two million dollars ($2,000,000) of the Company's common stock in three installments (subject to various conditions) and will receive warrants to purchase additional shares. Also, in connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, we entered into (i) a distribution agreement ("Master Distribution Agreement") with Elitech UK Limited, a private limited company formed under the laws of the United Kingdom ("Elitech UK Limited") and (ii) a joint product development agreement ("Joint Product Development Agreement") with Elitech. The details of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Master Distribution Agreement, and Joint Product Development Agreement are outlined below.

        The investment by Wescor will take place over a maximum of three tranches:

        First Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement—Pursuant to the First Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, on July 16, 2010, Wescor invested one million two hundred

fifty thousand dollars ($1,250,000) to purchase 8,333,334 shares of the Company's common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration the Company issued a warrant to Wescor to purchase 4,166,667 shares at $0.15 per share. The Company entered into the Master Distribution Agreement with Elitech UK Limited and the Joint Product Development Agreement with Elitech, contemporaneously with the issuance of the First Tranche Shares.

        Second Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement—Pursuant to the Second Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor will invest two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) to purchase 1,666,667 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we will issue a warrant to Wescor to purchase 833,333 shares at $0.15 per share. As a condition to the closing of the Second Tranche, the Company will have effectively transferred its product distribution activity outside of North America from our subsidiary, Corgenix U.K. Ltd., to Elitech UK Limited.

        Third Tranche under the Common Stock Purchase Agreement—Pursuant to the Third Tranche of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, Wescor will invest five hundred thousand dollars ($500,000) to purchase 3,333,333 shares of our common stock valued at $0.15 per share. For no additional consideration we will issue a warrant to Wescor to purchase 1,666,667 shares at $0.15 per share. As a condition to the closing of the Third Tranche, the Executive Committee established under the Joint Product Development Agreement will have determined the feasibility of creating not less than two (2) new Corgenix assays as further described in the Joint Product Development Agreement.

        In connection with the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, at the initial closing, which occurred on July 16, 2010, we entered into the Master Distribution Agreement with Elitech UK Limited, and we entered into the Joint Product Development Agreement with Elitech. Under the terms and conditions of the Master Distribution Agreement, and as a condition precedent to the closing of the Second Tranche, Elitech UK Limited became the exclusive distributor of the Company's Products (as that term is defined therein) outside of North America. Accordingly, we along with Corgenix U.K. Ltd, assigned and/or transferred the economic benefit to Elitech UK Limited, and Elitech UK Limited assumed all of the obligations of the Company or Corgenix U.K. Ltd. under all distribution agreements executed by us or Corgenix U.K. Ltd., as the case may be, related to any distributor whose territory is outside of North America.

        Under the terms and conditions of the Joint Product Development Agreement the Company and Elitech will work towards developing efficient technology for the commercialization of biochemical testing of substances related to human health. The goal of the co-development effort is the modification of certain of our assays for use in Elitech chemistry analyzers, serology instruments or other instruments, and the commercialization of those modified assays by Elitech and its affiliates. Phase I of the co-development is focused on the sharing and licensing of our assay technology to facilitate this purpose. The intent is that, in order to achieve joint development of our assays modified to be used with certain Elitech technology, all of our relevant assay technology will be available to Elitech and its affiliates to establish the broadest common immunoassay technology base to pursue co-development of new Corgenix assay technology. Such technology would include, for example, manufacturing know-how, testing and reliability information, visits to production facilities, and technical consultation, for which the burden of disclosure is reasonable.

(9) Subsequent Events (Continued)

        Wescor has the right to designate one individual for election or appointment to our Board of Directors, for so long as Wescor owns at least five percent of our outstanding common stock.

        After the First Tranche closed, through to the third (3rd) anniversary of the First Tranche's closing date, the rights and responsibilities of Wescor with respect to a potential change of control transaction by us will be governed by the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

        Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, if our board determines to initiate the solicitation of offers or indications of interest in pursuing a Change of Control transaction, as defined therein, (without having first received an unsolicited offer from a third party) then the board will, consistent with its fiduciary duty to maximize shareholder value, design a process in consultation with legal counsel and any financial advisor the board elects. Wescor may participate in the process, on terms established by the Company's board to govern the solicitation of offers process. The terms of the process are further outlined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.

        Pursuant to the Common Stock Purchase Agreement, if our board receives an unsolicited third-party offer (or indication of interest in making an offer) with respect to a Change of Control transaction, we will provide written notice to Wescor. If our board elects to begin a process that could lead to a Change of Control then we will commence negotiations with the unsolicited bidder and with Wescor to seek the highest value available from those parties. The terms of the process are further outlined in the Common Stock Purchase Agreement.
