OUR BUSINESS
Through our wholly owned subsidiary, BiOptix Diagnostics, Inc. ("BDI"), which we acquiredthat any information contained in September 2016,any document we have developed a proprietary Enhanced Surface Plasmon Resonance technology platform for the detection of molecular interactions.  We acquired a Surface Plasma Resonance (SPR) platform which seeks to combine high sensitivity with microarray detection capability to allow researchers to understand whether their target molecules have functionality against the disease targeted. SPRincorporated by reference is an advanced and highly sensitive optical technology that can measure refractive index changes on a sensor chip's gold surface due to a change in mass that occurs during a binding event. This change can be used to monitor biological interactions suchaccurate only as the concentration of target molecules, kinetic rates and affinity constants.

BDI is a life science tools company that provides an affordable solution for drug discovery scientists who require label-free, real-time detection of bio-molecular interactions.  BDI manufactures, sells and services instruments and consumables to pharmaceutical researchers allowing them to develop new drugs faster than by using older technologies such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay or "ELISA". BDI was originally established with technology developed in conjunction with Dr. John L. "Jan" Hall, Adjoint Professor, JILA (University of Colorado), who shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 2005 for his work on laser-based precision spectroscopy and the optical frequency comb technique. SPR is the core of the BDI products and intellectual property.  Dr. Hall, in conjunction with the scientists at BDI, created a common path interferometer that was commercialized to become the 404pi instrument.

When it was acquired by us in September 2016, BDI was in the initial stages of rolling out its first commercial product, the 404pi system.  BDI's initial revenue was generated in 2014 with first sales to customers including sales to leading academic researchers and biotech companies. BDI did not experience any significant seasonality to its business and provided normal terms to its customers, generally 30-60 days, net. Currently there is no back-log of orders.

Following the September 2016 acquisition of BDI, we began hiring sales, marketing and operational employees, adding a total of eight employees to the twelve hired in connection with the acquisition.

The BDI products include a reader instrument (404pi) and the consumable test products consisting of test chips (cassettes) and packaging.  The instrument is assembled in-house using primarily off the shelf parts and certain customized components.  Consumable test product components are manufactured at the BDI facility using certain sub-assemblies processed by third-party contractors. Raw materials and certain sub-components are acquired from a number of suppliers.

Recent Developments

Effective January 14, 2017, the Company adopted a plan to exit the business of BDI and commenced a significant reduction in the workforce. The decision to adopt this plan was made following an evaluation by the Company's Board of Directors in January 2017,date of the estimated results of operations projected during the near to mid-term period for BDI, including consideration of product development required and updated sales forecasts, and estimated additional cash resources required. Accordingly, the historical results of BDI have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Following the recent decision to exit the BDI business, we have begun evaluating potential strategic alternatives. We expect, in the near term, to establish the primary criteria we will consider as we evaluate our next steps and strategic path forward with the goal of maximizing value for our stockholders. Additionally, we will focus on attempting to locate an acquirer or partner for the BDI operations as well as continuing to attempt to locate an interested party for the appendicitis assets.

Historical Operations

We also hold an exclusive license agreement with Washington University ("WU") in St. Louis which granted us an exclusive license and right to sublicense its technology for veterinary products worldwide, subject to certain exceptions.  In July 2012, we granted Ceva Sante Animale S.A. ("Ceva") an exclusive royalty-bearing license to our intellectual property and other assets, relating to recombinant single chain reproductive hormone technology for use in non-human mammals.  This license includes a sublicensedocument incorporated by reference, regardless of the technology licensed to us by WU.  Ceva continues to advance developmenttime of the bovine rFSH product and cumulative cash payments received to date by us from Ceva have been approximately $2 million.

On February 25, 2016, we completed the sale of our corporate headquarters, land and building, to a third party at a purchase price of $4,053,000.  The sale generated approximately $1.8 million in net cash after expenses and mortgage payoffs. In addition to agreeing to the sale, we rented back space in the building under short-term lease agreements that provide storage space required for our current level of operations.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
Each selling stockholder of the Common Stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of Common Stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A selling stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:
·  ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
·block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
·purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
·an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
·privately negotiated transactions;
·settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
·broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;
·through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
·a combination of any such methods of sale; or
·any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.
In connection with the sale of the Common Stock or interests therein, the selling stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the Common Stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also sell shares of the Common Stock short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the Common Stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Each selling stockholder has informed us that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock.
We are required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by us incident to the registration of the shares. We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Because selling stockholders may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including Rule 172 thereunder.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Certain Provisions of our Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws and the Colorado Revised Statutes ("CRS")
Certain provisions of our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, which are summarized in the following paragraphs, may have the effect of discouraging potential acquisition proposals or making a tender offer or delaying or preventing a change in control, including changes a stockholder might consider favorable. Such provisions may also prevent or frustrate attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our management. In particular, the Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws and Colorado law, as applicable, among other things:
●   
provide the board of directors with the ability to alter the Bylaws without stockholder approval;
●   
place limitations on the removal of directors; and
●   
provide that vacancies on the board of directors may be filled by a majority of directors in office, although less than a quorum.
