Item 1.01.                      Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On April 27, 2010, Guided Therapeutics, Inc. (“GT”) executed an agreement to extend its license agreement with Konica Minolta Opto, Inc. (“KMOT”) to co-develop non-invasive cancer detection products for one year (the “Agreement”). KMOT will pay GT a $750,000 fee for the extension. Additionally, the Agreement provides for a subsequent one-year renewal upon the written agreement of the parties. The original agreement was a one-year exclusive negotiation and development agreement of optimization of GT’s microporation system for manufacturing, regulatory approval, commercialization and clinical utility, which was entered into by GT and KMOT in April 2009. GT initially received $750,000 under this agreement.

This Agreement is part of an ongoing collaboration between GT and KMOT and is in addition to the agreement between GT and KMOT to develop prototype devices specific to the esophageal cancer detection application announced in February 2010, under which GT will receive approximately $1.59 million from KMOT over a twelve-month period. GT and KMOT executed a six-month option to license and no-shop agreement in April 2008, pursuant to which GT received $250,000 in return for granting KMOT a limited option to license and negotiation rights to certain of GT’s technology. GT received an additional $250,000 when this agreement was renewed for an additional six-moth period in October 2008. In conjunction therewith, KMOT purchased prototype materials and devices from GT for approximately $100,000.

The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.


Item 8.01.                      Other Events.

On April 28, 2010, GT issued a press release regarding the Agreement which is filed as an exhibit hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
