Organization
 
CytoCore, Inc. (“CCI”, “CytoCore” or the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in December 1998.
 
Except where the context otherwise requires, “CCI,” “CytoCore”, the “Company,” “we” and “our” refers to CytoCore, Inc. and our dormant subsidiaries and predecessors.
 
Currently, CCI has one product for sale – its SoftPap collector. CCI is developing, and plans to sell an integrated family of cost-effective products for the detection, diagnosis and treatment of cancer under the trade name of CytoCore Solutions®. CytoCore Solutions products are intended to address sample collection, specimen preparation, specimen evaluation (including detection/screening and diagnosis), treatment and patient monitoring within vertical markets related to specific cancers. Current CytoCore Solutions products are focused upon cervical cancer. CCI plans that this focus will later be expanded to include other gynecological cancers as well as bladder, lung, and breast cancers, among others. Within each of these markets CCI anticipates that the CytoCore Solutions products will be sold as individual value-added drop-in replacements for existing products and as integrated systems that improve the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical and laboratory operations
