PROXY STATEMENT

FOR

ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS


These proxy materials are furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of Human BioSystems, a California corporation, for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held at the offices of Silicon Valley Law Group, 25 Metro Drive, Suite 600, San Jose, California, 95110, on Friday, January 26, 2007, at 3:00 p.m. and any adjournments or postponements thereof. This Proxy Statement, our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2005, and the accompanying proxy card were first mailed to shareholders on or about December ___, 2006.  


PURPOSE OF MEETING


The specific proposals to be considered and acted upon at the Annual Meeting are summarized in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Each proposal is described in more detail in this Proxy Statement.


VOTING RIGHTS AND SOLICITATION


VOTING


Our common stock is the only type of security entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On October 23, 2006, the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, there were 68,117,537 shares of our common stock outstanding. Each shareholder of record on the record date is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held by such shareholder on that date.


A majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote must be present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting in order to have a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum for the transaction of business.


Our shareholders have cumulative voting rights when voting on the election of directors provided that the names of the candidates for whom the cumulative votes would be cast have been placed in nomination prior to the voting and that the shareholder has given notice at the meeting, prior to the voting, of the shareholder's intention to cumulate his or her votes. If any one shareholder has given such notice, all shareholders may cumulate their votes for the election of directors. Cumulative voting means that each shareholder is entitled to the number of votes that is equal to the number of shares that he or she owns multiplied by the number of directors to be elected.  Each shareholder may cast all of the resulting votes for a single director, or may distribute them among the directors to be elected at the shareholder's discretion.  The three nominees receiving the most votes will be elected.  The proxies solicited by the Board of Directors confer discretionary authority on the proxy holders to cumulate votes to elect the nominees listed in this Proxy Statement.  The proxy holders may cumulate votes to elect one or several directors as may be necessary to elect the maximum number of nominees.


Proposals 2 through 5 each require the approval of the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting shares present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.


PROXIES


Whether or not you are able to attend the Annual Meeting, you are urged to vote your proxy, which is solicited by our Board of Directors and which will be voted as you direct on your proxy when properly completed. In the event no directions are specified, such proxies will be voted FOR the nominees for the Board of Directors (Proposal 1), FOR Proposals 2 though 5 and, in the discretion of the proxy holders, as to other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting. You may revoke or change your proxy at any time before the Annual Meeting. To do this, send a written notice of revocation or another signed proxy with a later date to the Secretary at our principal executive offices, located at 1127 Harker Avenue, Palo Alto, California, 94301, before the beginning of the Annual Meeting. You may also revoke your proxy by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person.


-2-

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES


We will bear the entire cost of solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy, and any additional solicitation material furnished to shareholders.  Copies of solicitation material will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries, and custodians holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others, so that they may forward this solicitation material to such beneficial owners. The original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by a solicitation by telephone or other means by our directors, officers, or employees. Except as described above, we do not presently intend to solicit proxies other than by mail.


______________________________________________________________________________________

PROPOSAL NO. 1


ELECTION OF DIRECTORS


GENERAL


The names of the three persons who are nominees for director and their positions with us are set forth in the table below.


Our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws provide that the number of directors shall be no less than three, and no more than five until changed in accordance with applicable law, the precise number to be determined from time to time by resolution of the Board of Directors or shareholders. We are proposing a modification of this provision to increase the number of directors to no less than three and no more than seven – see Proposal No. 5.  The Board of Directors is currently comprised of three members. The directors to be elected at the Annual Meeting are to be elected to hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or until the election of their respective successors. All proxies received by the Board of Directors will be voted for the election of the nominees listed below if no direction to the contrary is given. In the event that any nominee is unable or declines to serve, an event that is not anticipated, the proxies will be voted for the election of any nominee who may be designated by the Board of Directors.


The information set forth below is submitted with respect to the nominees to the Board of Directors for whom it is intended that proxies will be voted.


Name

Age

Position

Harry Masuda

62

Chief Executive Officer and a Director

Paul Okimoto

71

Chairman of the Board, Secretary, and Executive Vice President

Dr. Larry McCleary

57

Director


HARRY MASUDA has served since February 1998 as our Chief Executive Officer and a Director.  He also served as our President from February 1998 through August 2005.  Mr. Masuda is the former president of several high tech companies including Piiceon, Inc., a manufacturer of computer peripheral products for microcomputers. Mr. Masuda also founded HK Microwave; a manufacturer of high frequency phase locked oscillators used in cellular telephone base stations, later acquired by Dynatech Corporation. Mr. Masuda received his BSEE and MSEE from San Jose State University.  From October 1997 to February 1998, Mr. Masuda was a business consultant, and he served as President of International Web Exchange from July 1995 to October 1997.


PAUL OKIMOTO joined us in February 1998 as Executive Vice President and a Director.  He became our Secretary in August of 2002.  Mr. Okimoto served as President of Sanhill Systems, a research and development company involved in the signal processing medical field, from 1991 to January 1998.


LARRY MCCLEARY, M.D. joined us in September 2005 as a Director.  Dr. McCleary has spent the last seven years serving as Director of Human Research for Advanced Metabolic Research Group, LLC, headquartered in Henderson, Nevada.  Dr. McCleary served on our Advisory Board from 2002 until his appointment to our Board of Directors.


COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


We do not currently have an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee or any other committee of the Board of Directors.  The responsibilities of these Committees are fulfilled by our Board of Directors.  In addition, we do not currently have an "audit committee financial expert" as such term is defined in the Securities Act, as our financial constraints have made it extremely difficult to attract and retain qualified outside Board members.  We hope to add qualified independent members of our Board of Directors later in 2006, depending upon our ability to reach and maintain financial stability.


-3-

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION


Directors who are also our employees receive no additional cash compensation for serving on the Board.  We have issued stock options to our Board members in the past, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.  We reimburse non-employee directors for all travel and other expenses incurred in connection with attending meetings of the Board of Directors.


COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION


We did not have a Compensation Committee or any other committee of the Board of Directors performing similar functions during the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004.  Mr. Harry Masuda, our Chief Executive Officer, participated in deliberations of the Board of Directors relating to his compensation.


SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL REPORTING COMPLIANCE


Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our officers and Directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a class of our capital stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in their ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These persons are required to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.  Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms received by us, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2005, Mr. Larry McCleary did not timely file certain Forms 4 (such Forms were subsequently filed).


INDEMNIFICATION


Our Articles of Incorporation and By-laws provide for indemnification of our officers and directors to the fullest extent permissible under California law. Additionally, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our officers and Directors, and therefore purchasers of these securities may have a more limited right of action than they would have except for this limitation in the Articles of Incorporation and By-laws.  These agreements provide, in general, that we shall indemnify and hold harmless such directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law against any judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, and expenses, including attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with, or in any way arising out of, any claim, action or proceeding against, or affecting, such directors and officers resulting from, relating to or in any way arising out of, the service of such persons as our directors and officers.


We have directors' and officers' liability insurance to defend and indemnify directors and officers who are subject to claims made against them for their actions and omissions as directors and officers.


To the extent provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation provide for indemnification of directors for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), those provisions are, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, against public policy and therefore are unenforceable.

On August 7, 2002, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York and the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") announced that they were bringing securities fraud charges against Harry Masuda, our Chief Executive Officer, for allegedly paying an unregistered broker an undisclosed commission in September 1999 and February 2000 private placements. The allegations generally charge Mr. Masuda with the failure to adequately disclose to investors, in these private placements, a commission agreement with Larry Bryant, an unlicensed broker-dealer. Remedies sought in these proceedings include criminal penalties and a bar from service as an officer or director of a publicly-traded company. The SEC also brought securities fraud charges against us for the same transactions, and these charges are still pending.


In June 2000, we undertook a rescission offer to those shareholders who had purchased an aggregate of 427,300 shares of common stock and warrants in the private placements for aggregate proceeds of $640,950. Holders of 222,900 shares of common stock accepted the rescission offer. The other shareholders elected not to rescind their stock purchases.  We paid an aggregate of approximately $300,000 in cash to rescinding shareholders, but could not afford to pay the balance of the rescission offer in cash. Instead, we issued promissory notes, with interest at the rate of 10% per annum, payable upon the earlier of (i) one year from the date of the note or (ii) our receipt of funding sufficient to permit repayment of the principal and interest on the notes.  In 2000 and 2001, holders of an aggregate of $67,500 in principal and interest in the above-referenced promissory notes elected to convert their notes to an aggregate of 206,700 shares of our common stock. The other rescinding holders were paid in full in cash prior to December 31, 2002. As all of the shareholders electing to rescind have now been paid in full (whether in cash or in shares of common stock), we believe that the issues raised by the alleged failure to disclose have been fully resolved. Although we believe that the charges are unwarranted, there can be no assurance that Mr. Masuda will be able to continue to serve as our Chief Executive Officer in the event that the Securities and Exchange Commission receives the remedies that it seeks. In January 2005, the United States Government and Mr. Masuda entered into a deferred prosecution agreement which has led to a dismissal of all charges against Mr. Masuda following an 18-month deferred prosecution term, which expired in July 2006. The civil case against us has been stayed at the request of the U.S. Attorney pending completion of the deferred prosecution term.


Other than the foregoing matter, at the present time there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director, officer, employee or other agent of ours in which indemnification could be required or permitted, and we are not aware of any threatened litigation or proceeding which may result in a claim for indemnification by us.


SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL


The three director nominees that receive the highest number of affirmative votes shall be elected to our Board of Directors.


RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR all three nominees listed herein. We will vote your shares as you specify on the enclosed proxy. If you do not specify how you want your shares voted, we will vote them FOR the election of all the nominees listed above. If unforeseen circumstances (such as death or disability) make it necessary for the Board of Directors to substitute another person for any of the nominees, we will vote your shares FOR that other person. The Board of Directors does not presently anticipate that any nominee will be unable to serve.  If a shareholder present at the Annual Meeting properly requests cumulative voting for the directors, we may vote shares for which we hold a valid proxy by cumulative voting.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

PROPOSAL NO. 2


INCREASE IN THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK RESERVED FOR

ISSUANCE UNDER THE AMENDED AND RESTATED HUMAN BIOSYSTEMS

2001 STOCK OPTION PLAN


The Amended and Restated Human BioSystems 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) was adopted by the Board of Directors effective August 1, 2003, and approved by the shareholders on September 26, 2003.  Currently, 5,000,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under the Plan.  To date, we have issued options under the Plan to purchase an aggregate of 1,199,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  


We believe that our long-term success depends upon our ability to attract and retain qualified directors, officers, employees and consultants and to motivate their best efforts on our behalf.  Thus, we believe that the Plan will be an important part of our compensation of directors, officers, employees and consultants.


The Board of Directors recommends amending the Plan to increase the number of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000.


The proposed amendment to the Plan is set forth in full as Exhibit "A" to this Proxy Statement.   The principal features of the Plan are summarized below, but the summary is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Plan.


-6-

DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN


The purpose of the Plan is to enhance our profitability and shareholder value by enabling us to offer stock-based incentives to employees, directors, consultants and affiliates. The Plan authorizes the grant of options to purchase shares of common stock to our employees, directors and consultants and our affiliates. Under the Plan, we may grant incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and non-qualified stock options. Incentive stock options may only be granted to our employees.


There are currently 5,000,000 shares of common stock available for issuance upon exercise of options to be granted under the Plan.  As of October 23, 2006, we had granted options under the Plan to purchase an aggregate of 1,199,000 shares of common stock.


The Plan is administered by our Board of Directors. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Board has the authority to determine which of our employees, directors and consultants will be awarded options and the terms of such awards, including the number of shares subject to such options, the fair market value of the common stock subject to options, the exercise price per share and other terms.


Incentive stock options must have an exercise price equal to at least 100% of the fair market value of a share on the date of the award unless the grant is to a shareholder holding more than 10% of our voting stock, in which case the exercise price must be 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. Generally, the options may not have a duration of more than ten years, or five years if the grant is to a shareholder holding more than 10% of our voting stock. Terms and conditions of awards are set forth in written agreements between the respective option holders and us. Awards under the Plan may not be made after the tenth anniversary of the date of its adoption but awards granted before that date may extend beyond that date.


Under the Plan, if the employment of the holder of an incentive stock option is terminated for any reason other than as a result of the holder's death or disability or for "cause" as defined in the Plan, the holder may exercise the option, to the extent exercisable on the date of termination of employment, until the earlier of the option's specified expiration date and 90 days after the date of termination. If an option holder dies or becomes disabled, both incentive and non-qualified stock options may generally be exercised, to the extent exercisable on the date of death or disability, by the option holder or the option holder's survivors until the earlier of the option's specified termination date and six months after the date of death or disability.


As of October 23, 2006, 495,000 shares of common stock had been issued as the result of the exercise of options granted under the Plan.  The exercise price and vesting schedules of options granted under the Plan will vary over time pursuant to various option agreements that we have entered into or will enter into with the grantees of such options.


We registered the Plan and the shares subject to issuance thereunder, under the Securities Act.  If the increase in shares authorized for issuance under the Plan is approved, we plan to register the additional shares soon after the annual meeting.  Absent such registration, the shares, when issued upon exercise of options, would be "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act.


Optionees have no rights as shareholders with respect to shares subject to options prior to the issuance of shares pursuant to the exercise thereof. Options issued to employees under the Plan, as amended, shall expire no later than ten years after the date of grant.  An option becomes exercisable at such time and for such amounts as determined at the discretion of the Board of Directors at the time of the grant of the option.  An optionee may exercise a part of the option from the date that part first becomes exercisable until the option expires.  The purchase price for shares to be issued to an employee upon his or her exercise of an option is determined by the Board of Directors on the date the option is granted.  The purchase price is payable in full in cash, by promissory note, by net exercise or by delivery of mature shares of our common stock when the option is exercised.


The Plan provides for adjustment as to the number and kinds of shares covered by the outstanding options and the option price therefore to give effect to any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination or other reorganization of or by us.


-7-

FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF OPTIONS GRANTED UNDER THE PLAN


Options granted under the Plan may be either incentive stock options, which satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or non- qualified options, which are not intended to meet such requirements.  The federal income tax treatment for the two types of options differs as follows:


INCENTIVE OPTIONS.   No taxable income is recognized by the optionee at the time of the option grant, and generally no taxable income is recognized at the time the option is exercised. The optionee will, however, recognize taxable income in the year in which the purchased shares are sold or otherwise made the subject of a taxable disposition. For federal tax purposes, dispositions are divided into two categories: (i) qualifying and (ii) disqualifying. A qualifying disposition occurs if the sale or other disposition is made more than two years from the date of grant and more than one year from the date of exercise.  If either of these two holding periods is not satisfied, then a disqualifying disposition will result.


Upon a qualifying disposition of the shares, the optionee will recognize long- term capital gain in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount realized upon the sale or other disposition of the purchased shares over (ii) the exercise price paid for those shares. If there is a disqualifying disposition of the shares, then the excess of (i) the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date (or the fair market date on the expiration date, if less) over (ii) the exercise price paid for those shares will be taxable as ordinary income to the optionee. Any additional gain or loss recognized upon the disposition will be taxable as a capital gain or loss.


If the optionee makes a disqualifying disposition of the purchased shares, then we will be entitled to an income tax deduction, for the taxable year in which such disposition occurs, equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of such shares on the option exercise date (or the fair market value on the expiration date, if less) over (ii) the exercise price paid for the shares. In no other instance will we be allowed a deduction with respect to the optionee's disposition of the purchased shares.


Non-Qualified Options. No taxable income is recognized by an optionee upon the grant of a non-qualified option which does not have a readily ascertainable fair market value and is not transferable.  Options granted under the Plan do not have a readily ascertainable fair market value and are not transferable.  The optionee will in general recognize ordinary income, in the year in which the option is exercised, equal to the excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares on the exercise date over the exercise price paid for the shares, and the optionee will be required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to such income.


If the shares acquired upon exercise of the non-qualified option are unvested and subject to repurchase by us in the event of the optionee's termination of service prior to vesting in those shares, then the optionee may not recognize any taxable income at the time of exercise but will have to report as ordinary income, as and when our repurchase right lapses, an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the shares on the date the repurchase right lapses over (ii) the exercise price paid for the shares. The optionee may, however, elect under Section 83(b) of the Internal Revenue Code to include as ordinary income in the year of exercise of the option an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the purchased shares on the exercise date over (ii) the exercise price paid for such shares. If the Section 83(b) election is made, the optionee will not recognize any additional income as and when the purchase right lapses.


We will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee with respect to the exercised non-qualified option. The deduction will in general be allowed for the taxable year in which such ordinary income is recognized by the optionee.

We anticipate that any compensation deemed paid by us in connection with disqualifying dispositions of incentive stock option shares or exercises of non- statutory options will qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) and will not have to be taken into account for purposes of the $1 million limitation per covered individual on the deductibility of the compensation paid to certain executive officers. Accordingly, all compensation deemed paid with respect to those options will remain deductible by us without limitation under Code Section 162(m).



SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL


The affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding voting shares present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required for approval of this Proposal.  Should shareholder approval not be obtained, the increase of the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan will not be effective and the Board of Directors will consider alternative methods of issuing options outside of the Plan.


RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR the increase in the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated Human BioSystems 2001 Stock Option Plan.  We will vote your shares as you specify on the enclosed proxy card. If you do not specify how you want your shares voted, we will vote them FOR approval of the increase in the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Amended and Restated Human BioSystems 2001 Stock Option Plan.

PROPOSAL  NO. 3


APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION FOR

INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK


GENERAL


Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved a resolution to increase the authorized shares of Common Stock from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000.  The increase of authorized shares of Common Stock will be effected by an amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, and such increase will become effective upon the filing of an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of California in the form of Exhibit "B" to this Proxy Statement.  At this time, we have no specific plan or arrangement for issuing any of the additional authorized shares of our common stock.


REASONS FOR INCREASE OF AUTHORIZED SHARES


The number of shares of Common Stock listed and outstanding as of October 23, 2006, was 68,117,537, which number is less than the currently authorized 150,000,000 shares.  However, as of December 31, 2006, we had outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 1,199,000 shares of common stock under the Amended and Restated Human BioSystems 2001 Stock Option Plan.  In addition, as of December 31, 2006, we had outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,698,333 shares of our common stock.  On June 15, 2006, a registration statement on Form SB-2 became effective, registering an additional 20,000,000 shares of common stock.  We plan to issue the SB-2 shares from time to time as required to raise capital or to effect acquisitions or strategic alliances.  If all the outstanding warrants and options were exercised, and all of the SB-2 shares were issued, the number of outstanding shares would increase to approximately _________________.


Accordingly, an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is necessary in order for us to have additional authorized shares available to raise capital, to make strategic acquisitions, or to enter into strategic alliances if and when those opportunities arise.  We believe that having such additional shares available for issuance will enable us to take prompt action on such corporate opportunities as may materialize in the future if the Board of Directors deems an issuance of common stock to be in the best interest of the Company. The disadvantage of such an increase is that any additional issuances of Common Stock will dilute the percentage of the Company owned by existing shareholders.  The additional California franchise tax with respect to the additional shares is minimal. Approval of this proposal will increase the number of shares of Common Stock available for issuance by the Company to 300,000,000.


SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL


The affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding voting shares present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required for approval of this Proposal.  Should shareholder approval not be obtained, the increase in the authorized number of shares and the amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation which provides for an increase in the authorized number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000 will not be effective.


RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR approval of an increase to the authorized number of shares and an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation that provides for an increase of the authorized number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000.  We will vote your shares as you specify on the enclosed proxy card. If you do not specify how you want your shares voted, we will vote them FOR approval of an increase to the authorized number of shares of common stock and an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation that provides for an increase of the authorized number of shares reserved for issuance from 150,000,000 to 300,000,000.

______________________________________________________________________________________

PROPOSAL NO. 4


APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION FOR

INCREASE IN AUTHORIZED NUMBER OF SHARES OF PREFERRED STOCK


GENERAL


Our Board of Directors has unanimously approved a resolution to amend our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized number of shares of “blank check” preferred stock from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000.  The creation and authorization of the preferred stock will become effective upon the filing with the California Secretary of State of an amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation in the form of Exhibit “B” to this Proxy Statement.  


The term “blank check” refers to preferred stock, the creation and issuance of which is authorized in advance by shareholders and the terms, preferences, privileges, rights and other features of which are determined by the Board of Directors upon issuance.  The authorization of such blank check preferred stock would permit our Board of Directors to authorize and issue preferred stock from time to time in one or more series.  


Subject to the provisions of our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation and the limitations prescribed by law, our Board of Directors would be expressly authorized, at its discretion, to adopt resolution to issue shares, to fix the number of shares and to change the number of shares constituting any series and to provide for or change the voting powers, designations, preferences and limitations or restrictions thereof, including dividend rights (including whether the dividends are cumulative), dividend rates, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any series of the preferred stock, in each case without any further action or vote by the shareholders.  The Board of Directors would be required to make any determination to issue shares of preferred stock based on its judgment as to the best interests of our shareholders and us.  The amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation would give our Board of Directors the flexibility, without further shareholder action, to issue preferred stock on such terms and conditions as the Board deems to be in the best interests of our shareholders and us.  Therefore, shareholders would not have the opportunity to approve the Board’s designation of preferences and/or issuance of preferred stock either before or after its designation and/or issuance.


REASONS FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL PREFERRED STOCK


The amendment to authorize additional preferred stock will provide us with more flexibility in negotiation and structuring transactions with potential investors, as it will allow preferred stock to be available for issuance from time to time and with such features as determined by our Board of Directors for any proper corporate purpose.  It is anticipated that such purposes may include the issuance of preferred stock for cash as a means of obtaining capital for use by us, or issuance as part or all of the consideration that we may be required to pay for acquisitions of other businesses or assets.  At this time, however, the Board of Directors has no specific plan to issue shares of preferred stock to any particular person or for any particular purpose.  


-11-

Any issuance of preferred stock with voting rights could, under certain circumstances, have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of us by increasing the number of outstanding shares entitled to vote and by increasing the number of votes required to approve a change in control.  Shares of voting or convertible preferred stock could be issued, or rights to purchase such shares could be issued, to render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a tender offer, proxy contest, merger or otherwise.  The ability of our Board of Directors to issue such additional shares of preferred stock, with the rights and preferences it deems advisable, could discourage an attempt by a party to acquire control of us by tender offer that could result from such an attempt, such as the realization of a premium over the market price.  Moreover, the issuance of such additional shares of preferred stock to persons friendly to the Board of Directors could make it more difficult to remove incumbent management and directors from office even if such change were to be favorable to shareholders generally.  


While the amendment may have anti-takeover ramifications, the Board of Directors believes that the financial flexibility offered by the amendment outweighs any disadvantages.  To the extent that the amendment may have anti-takeover effects, it may encourage persons seeking to acquire us to negotiate directly with the Board of Directors, thus enabling the Board to consider the proposed transaction in a manner that best serves the interests of shareholders.  


SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL


The affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding voting shares present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required for approval of this proposal.  Should shareholder approval not be obtained, the Board of Directors will consider other means of raising capital.  


RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


The Board recommends that the shareholders vote FOR approval of an amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation which increases the number of authorized shares of blank check preferred stock from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000.  We will vote your shares as you specify on the enclosed proxy card.  If you do not specify how you want to your shares voted, we will vote them FOR approval of the amendment to the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of preferred stock from 5,000,000 to 10,000,000.  


______________________________________________________________________________________

PROPOSAL  NO. 5


APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO BY-LAWS INCREASING THE NUMBER OF DIRECTORS


GENERAL


As currently stated, our Bylaws provide that the Company will have between three and five directors, with the specific number of directors to be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors or shareholders.  With few director seats, it is difficult to attract a large group of directors covering the core competencies that the Company needs in order to grow.  For this reason, we believe that it would be more beneficial to our shareholders and to us if the Bylaws provided for three to seven directors, rather than three to five.  



The increase in the number of directors will be effected by an amendment to the Bylaws in the form of Exhibit “C” to this Proxy Statement.


SHAREHOLDER APPROVAL


The affirmative vote of a majority of our outstanding voting shares present or represented and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required for approval of this Proposal.  Should shareholder approval not be obtained, we will be unable to amend the Bylaws to increase the number of directors.  


RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


The Board of Directors recommends that shareholders vote FOR approval of the amendment to the Bylaws increasing the number of directors to a range from three to seven, with the specific number of directors to be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors or shareholders.  We will vote your shares as you specify on the enclosed proxy card.  If you do not specify how you want your shares voted, we will vote them FOR approval of the amendment to the Bylaws increasing the number of directors.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT


THIS SECTION OF OUR PROXY STATEMENT WILL NOT BE DEEMED INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE BY ANY GENERAL STATEMENT INCORPORATING BY REFERENCE THIS PROXY STATEMENT INTO ANY FILING UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT WE SPECIFICALLY INCORPORATE THIS INFORMATION BY REFERENCE, AND WILL NOT OTHERWISE BE DEEMED FILED UNDER SUCH ACTS.


We have never had an audit committee or an audit committee written charter. The functions of an audit committee are carried out by our Board of Directors, comprised of Paul Okimoto (who also serves as Chairman of the Board), Harry Masuda and Larry McCleary.  Messrs. Okimoto and Masuda are also officers of the Company, and so are not "independent" as that term is defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Our Board has followed the substance of the procedures recommended in the report of the Blue Ribbon Committee on Improving the Effectiveness of Corporate Audit Committees, sponsored by the major securities markets, issued in February 1999, and the Board has also been advised by independent legal counsel in its role of overseeing financial reporting and internal control matters.


Management has the primary responsibility for the financial reporting process, including the system of internal controls. Our independent auditors are responsible for performing an independent audit of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and to issue a report thereon. The Board's responsibility is to monitor and oversee these processes.  Our Board of Directors appoints our independent auditors.


The Board has reviewed with our financial managers the selection of our independent auditors, overall audit scopes and plans, the results of audit examinations, evaluations by the independent auditors of our internal controls and the quality of our financial reporting.  Management has reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB with the Board, including a discussion of the quality (not just the acceptability) of the accounting principles utilized, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.  The Board also discussed with the independent auditors other matters required to be discussed by the auditors with an audit committee under Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61 (communication with audit committees). Our independent auditors also provided to the Board the written disclosures required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees), and the Board discussed with the independent auditors that firm's independence.


In performing all of these functions, the Board acts only in an oversight capacity. In its audit oversight role, the Board relies on the work and assurances of our management, which has the primary responsibility for financial statements and reports, and of the independent auditors, who in their report expressed an opinion on the conformity of our annual financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles.


Based upon the Board's discussion with management and the independent auditors and the Board's review of the representations of management and the report of the independent auditors to the Board, the Board recommended that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10- KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

(6) Claude Luster, III, the President of HBS BioEnergy, the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, is the manager of EXL Group III Corporation (“EXL”).  The shares designated as beneficially owned by Mr. Luster represents 50,000 shares of common stock issued to EXL pursuant to the terms of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement by and among the Company, EXL and HBS BioEnergy, but excludes up to 3,450,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issuable to Mr. Luster upon the achievement of certain milestones set forth in that certain Consulting Services Agreement between the Company and EXL.


As indicated in the table above, our executive officers and directors beneficially own, in the aggregate, 17.32% of our outstanding common stock. As a result these shareholders may, as a practical matter, be able to influence all matters requiring shareholder approval including the election of directors, merger or consolidation and the sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentration of ownership may delay, deter or prevent acts that would result in a change of control, which in turn could reduce the market price of our common stock.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS


In March 2000, we entered into an employment agreement with Dr. Luis Toledo, employing him as our Chief Medical Officer for a minimum term of one year.  The agreement provides for a base salary of $6,000 per month, which may be adjusted based on our ability to raise defined amounts of capital. In addition, we granted to Dr. Toledo an option to purchase 75,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share, and continued in effect options granted pursuant to a consulting agreement that we entered into in May 1998 with Dr. Toledo.  In June 2001, we granted Dr. Toledo options to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.28 per share.  In January 2002, we granted Dr. Toledo options to purchase 75,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.54 per share, and in February 2004, we granted Dr. Toledo options to purchase 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.11 per share.  This option vested with respect to 30% of the shares on the date of grant; an additional 30% one year after the date of grant, and the remainder will vest two years from the date of grant.  We entered into a new employment agreement with Dr. Toledo effective April 1, 2005, providing for a base salary of $10,000 per month (subject to adjustment based on our financial situation and performance).  On March 15, 2005, we granted Dr. Toledo options to purchase an additional 150,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.11 per share.  This option vested with respect to 30% of the shares on the date of grant; an additional 30% will vest one year after the date of grant, and the remainder will vest on two years from the date of grant.


In December 2001, we hired Victor Ivashin to serve as our Chief Technical Officer for Hardware and Software.  Dr. Ivashin received a starting salary of $8,500 per year, and was granted an option to purchase an aggregate of 75,000 shares of our common stock with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant.  Dr. Ivashin's employment was terminated on February 1, 2005, and his status changed to advisor. On August 29, 2005, we entered into an Executive Consulting Agreement with Dr. David Winter.  Pursuant to the agreement, Dr. Winter will serve as our President.  In that capacity, he will oversee our platelet and organ development programs and supervise negotiations with potential alliance partners.  In consideration of these services, Dr. Winter will receive a monthly retainer of $3,000.  He will also receive options to purchase 96,000 shares of our common stock, at an exercise price of $0.73 per share. The options will vest over a 12- month period, at the rate of 8,000 shares per month.  During the term of the Agreement, Dr. Winter will also be eligible to receive a performance bonus in the maximum amount of 100,000 shares of our common stock, upon reaching certain performance targets established by our Board of Directors.  Either party may terminate the agreement prior to the end of the term with 30 days prior written notice.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS


The following describes transactions, in addition to the employment and consulting agreements described above, to which we were or are a party and in which any of our directors, officers, or significant stockholders, or members of the immediate family of any of the foregoing persons, had or has a direct or indirect material interest.


We purchased the patents for a disposable vaginal disease test product titled Phemtest from Paul Okimoto, an officer and director, on September 1, 1998.  The patent "VAGINAL TESTING APPLICATOR AND METHOD", Patent Number 4,784,158, was issued November 15, 1988, and the patent "BODY CAVITY SPECIMEN COLLECTING AND TESTING APPARATUS", Patent Number 4,945,921, was issued August 7, 1990.  Pursuant to the purchase agreement for the patents, we paid $1,375 to the law firm of Flehr, Hohbach, Test and Herbert as a patent maintenance fee to assure that the patents would remain in force.  We also agreed to pay Mr. Okimoto a royalty payment of 5% of gross sales of Phemtest for the next five years.  The first $16,000 in royalty payments are to be paid to a law firm to be designated by Mr. Okimoto, the next $75,000 in royalties are to be paid to Mr. Okimoto in shares of our common stock, valued at $2.00 per share, and the remaining royalties to be paid to Mr. Okimoto, if any, are to be paid in cash.

EXHIBIT A



FIRST AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED

HUMAN BIOSYSTEMS

2001 STOCK OPTION PLAN


A.

On August 22, 2002, Human BioSystems (the “Company”), formerly “Hyperbaric Systems,” adopted the Hyperbaric Systems 2001 Stock Option Plan (the “Original Plan”) reserving One Million Five Hundred Eighty-Five Thousand Five Hundred (1,585,500) shares of its common stock for issuance upon the exercise of options granted under the Original Plan; and


B.

The Company’s Board of Directors acting by unanimous written consent dated August 1, 2003, authorized an increase of the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted under the Original Plan to Five Million (5,000,000); and


C.

The Company’s shareholders voted at the Company’s September 26, 2003 annual meeting in favor of amending the Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted under the Original Plan to Five Million (5,000,000); and


D.

The Company’s Board of Directors acting by unanimous written consent dated December 18, 2006, authorized an increase of the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of options granted under the Original Plan to Ten Million (10,000,000); and


E.

The Company’s shareholders voted at the Company’s January 26, 2007 annual meeting in favor of amending the Plan to increase the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance upon exercise of options grated under the Original Plan to Ten Million (10,000,000).


NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the Original Plan is hereby amended as follows:
