PROPOSAL 1: APPROVALELECTION OF DIRECTOR

TO CONSIDER AND APPROVE THE AUTHORIZED SHARES AMENDMENT


RE-ELECTION OF RICHARD E. FORKEY TO APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION, AS AMENDED TO DATE, AS SET FORTH IN EXHIBIT I, TO EFFECT AN AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S ARTICLES OF ORGANIZATION, AS AMENDED, TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK THAT THE COMPANY IS AUTHORIZED TO ISSUE FROM 50,000,000 TO 60,000,000, TO BE IMPLEMENTED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE COMPANY’SOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE COMPANY’S NEXT ANNUAL MEETING IN 2008, WITHOUT FURTHER APPROVAL OR AUTHORIZATION OF THE COMPANY’S SHAREHOLDERS.

Purpose of the Increase in Authorized Shares
The Board of Directors has approved and is hereby soliciting stockholder approval of an amendment to the Company's Articles of Organization, as amended, to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 50,000,000 to 60,000,000. On September 15, 2007, the Company had 25,458,212 shares of Common Stock outstanding and 15,990,021 shares of Common Stock reserved for specific purposes, including issuance upon exercise of outstanding warrants and outstanding stock options or for future awards under its equity incentive arrangements. The Board of Directors believes that it is desirable to have available an additional number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, which may be issued from time to time without further action by the stockholders, to provide for stock splits or stock dividends, stock options and other equity incentives, to be able to take advantage of acquisition opportunities, to meet future capital needs and for other general corporate purposes.

The form of the proposed amendment is attached hereto as Annex I. Subject to favorable stockholder action, the proposed amendment would become effective upon the filing of Articles of Amendment with the Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Upon filing of such amendment, all stockholders of the Company would be bound by the amendment, whether or not they voted for it. If the Proposal is approved by the stockholders, the amendment will be effected only upon a determination by the Board of Directors that the filing of such amendment is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders at that time. Even if the increase in the authorized shares is approved by the stockholders of the Company, the Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine not to effect the amendment or to delay such action.

Risks Associated with the Increase in Authorized Shares

The issuance of additional authorized shares of Common Stock may dilute the voting power and equity interests of present stockholders. Prior to the Authorized Shares Amendment, if all of the existing authorized shares were issued, current shares outstanding would be approximately 51% of the total outstanding shares. If the Authorized Shares Amendment is approved and all of the then authorized shares were issued, current shares outstanding would be approximately 42% of the total outstanding shares. It is not possible to predict in advance whether the issuance of additional shares will have a dilutive effect on earnings per share as it depends on the specific events associated with a particular transaction. Shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock may be issued from time to time by the Board of Directors without further stockholder action unless such action is required by Massachusetts law, under which the Company is incorporated, or the Company’s Articles of Organization.

Recommendation of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the proposal to amend the company’s Articles of Organization, as amended to date, as set forth in Annex I to increase in the authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock, to be implemented at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors at any time prior to the Company’s next annual meeting in 2008. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of all outstanding shares of our Common Stock as of the record date is required to approve the amendment.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THATSTOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR PROPOSAL 1.

We paid or accrued to J.R.

We are currently a tenant-at-will, paying rent of $9,000 per month, or an aggregate of $108,000 per year, for each of fiscal years 2009 and 2008.

It is our policy that all employees, officers and directors must avoid any activity that is or has the appearance of conflicting with the interests of our Company. This policy is included in our Corporate Code of Ethics and Conduct, and our Employee Manual. We conduct a review of all related party transactions for potential conflicts of interest situations on an ongoing basis and all such transactions relating to officers and directors must be approved by the Audit Committee.


A conflict of interest occurs when the private interest of an employee or director (or an immediate family or household member) interferes, in any way — or even appears to interfere — with the duties performed by the employee or director or with the interests of our Company as a whole. A conflict situation can arise when an employee, officer or director takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest also arise when an employee, officer or director, or a member of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in our Company.

We require that all employees, officers and directors report to the Chief Financial Officer and/or the Audit Committee any conduct that the individual believes to be a violation of Uromedical Diagnostic, Inc.law or business ethics or of any provision of the Code, including any transaction or relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to such a conflict. Violations, including failures to report potential violations by others, will be viewed as a severe disciplinary matter that may result in personnel action, including termination of employment.

To this end, our employees, officers or directors may not be employed by, act as a consultant to, or have an independent business relationship with any of our customers, competitors or suppliers. Nor may employees, officers or directors invest in any customer, supplier, or competitor (other than through mutual funds or through holdings of less than 2 percent of the outstanding shares of publicly traded securities) unless they first obtain written permission from our Chief Executive Officer. Employees, officers or directors may not divulge or use our confidential information — such as financial data, customer information, and computer programs — for their own personal or business purposes.

Any personal or business activities by an employee, officer or director that may raise the foregoing concerns must be disclosed to and approved in advance by our Chief Financial Officer. The Audit Committee will determine whether violations of the Code have occurred and, if so, will determine the disciplinary measures to be taken against any employee who has violated the Code. Disciplinary measures, which may be invoked at the discretion of the Audit Committee, include, but are not limited to, oral or written warnings, disciplinary probation, suspension, reductions in salary, demotion or termination of employment.


SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires our directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of a registered class of our securities to file with the Securities Exchange Commission, or SEC, reports of ownership and changes in ownership of common stock and other equity securities of our Company. Officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.
