                             PART I

ITEM 1.   DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

General

     IGENE  Biotechnology,  Inc.  ("Igene")  is  engaged  in  the
business  of  developing, marketing, and manufacturing  specialty
ingredients for human and animal nutrition.   Igene was formed on
October  27,  1981  to  develop, produce and  market  value-added
specialty  biochemical products.  Igene is a supplier of  natural
astaxanthin, an essential nutrient in different feed applications
and  a  source  of  pigment for coloring farmed  salmon  species.
Igene  is also venturing to supply astaxanthin as a nutraceutical
ingredients.   Igene  is focused on research and  development  of
fermentation technology, nutrition and health in its marketing of
products and applications worldwide.

     Igene  has  devoted  its  resources to  the  development  of
proprietary  processes  to  convert  selected  agricultural   raw
materials  or  feedstocks  into  commercially  useful  and   cost
effective  products for the food, feed, flavor  and  agrochemical
industries.   In  developing these processes and products,  Igene
has relied on the expertise and skills of its in-house scientific
staff and, for special projects, various consultants.

     In 2000, Igene formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, Igene Chile
Comercial,  Ltda.,  in Chile.  The subsidiary  has  a  sales  and
customer  service office in Puerto Varas, Chile,  and  a  product
warehouse  in  Puerto  Montt,  Chile.   Igene  currently   leases
manufacturing capacity in Mexico City, Mexico, through a contract
manufacturer on an as needed basis.

     In  an  effort to develop a dependable source of production,
on  March 19, 2003, Tate & Lyle PLC and Igene  announced a  50:50
joint venture to produce AstaXin(R) for the aquaculture industry,
which  we  refer to as the "Joint Venture".  Production  utilizes
Tate  &  Lyle's fermentation capability together with the  unique
technology  developed by Igene. Part of Tate  &  Lyle's  existing
citric  acid facility located in Selby, England, was modified  to
include the production of this product.  Tate & Lyle's investment
of  $25 million included certain of its facility assets that were
used in citric acid production.  The production facility has been
completed and is now in full production.

Government Regulation

     The  manufacturing  and marketing of most  of  the  products
Igene  has developed are, and will likely continue to be, subject
to  regulation  by various governmental agencies  in  the  United
States,  including the Food and Drug Administration ("FDA"),  the
Department  of Agriculture ("USDA"), the Environmental Protection
Agency  ("EPA"),  and  comparable agencies  in  other  countries.
Igene,  as a matter of policy, requires that its products conform

                             -2-

to  current  Good  Manufacturing Practices ("GMPs")  (as  defined
under  the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act and the rules  and
regulations thereunder) and Igene believes all of its products so
conform.  The extent of any adverse governmental regulation  that
might  arise  from  future administrative or legislative  action,
including current rules and regulations pertaining to the process
of  GRAS  (Generally Recognized as Safe) affirmations, cannot  be
predicted.

     In  a notice published in the Federal Register July 6, 2000,
the FDA announced the amendment of its color additive regulations
to provide for the safe use of Phaffia yeast, such as that in the
Company's product, AstaXin(R), as a color additive in aquaculture
feeds.   This  ruling,  which became effective  August  8,  2000,
allows Igene to market its product, AstaXin(R),  for  aquaculture
feeds  and fish produced in, or imported into, the United States.
This  ruling is available to the public in the Federal  Register.
Igene  has  also previously obtained approval for AstaXin(R) from
the Canadian Food Inspection Agency  (CFIA).   Additional foreign
approval applications for AstaXin(R),  including  those  for  the
European  Union, are in progress.  Igene is required  to  perform
additional tests and prepare additional documentation as part  of
the   application  process.   The  initial  application  for  the
European  Union was submitted in May of 2004.  It  is  hoped  the
application will be approved in the second half of 2007.

     In  July 2000, Igene also obtained clearance from the FDA to
market its product, AstaXin(R), as a human dietary supplement  in
the  United States.  Scientific literature indicates that natural
astaxanthin,  such  as that in the Company's product, AstaXin(R),
may offer health benefits  for  humans  due  to  its  antioxidant
properties.   The FDA notification and the Company's  submissions
are  available to the public from the FDA.   Comparable  agencies
in  the European Union and other foreign countries may have their
own    additional   registration   procedures.    No   additional
applications for approval of AstaXin(R) as  a  human  nutritional
supplement have yet been submitted.

     Igene  has not incurred and does not anticipate any material
environmental compliance costs.

Research and Development

     As  of  December 31, 2006, Igene had expended  approximately
$16,290,000  on research and development since its  inception  on
October 27, 1981.  The costs listed below for 2006 and 2005  were
reimbursed  by the Joint Venture.  Sales of astaxanthin  (through
Igene  and the Joint Venture) resulted in revenues of $35,400,000
as  of  December  31,  2006, $27,700,000 of which  were  realized
through  the  Joint  Venture.    Igene  will  continue  to  incur
research and development costs in connection with improvements in
its  existing processes and products, but it does not  anticipate
development of new processes and products in 2007.

     Research  and development expenditures for each of the  last
two years are as follows

     2006   $ 847,598
     2005   $ 819,782

     Igene's research and development activities have resulted in
the  development of processes to produce the products hereinafter
discussed.

Commercial Products

AstaXin(R)

     AstaXin(R)  is  Igene's  registered  trademark for its dried
yeast  product  made from a proprietary strain of yeast developed
by  Igene.   AstaXin(R) is  a  natural  source  of astaxanthin, a
pigment  which  imparts the characteristic red color to the flesh
of salmon, trout, prawns and certain  other  types  of  fish  and
shellfish.   In  the  ocean, salmon and trout obtain  astaxanthin
from  krill  and other planktonic crustaceans in their  diet.   A
krill  and  crustacean diet would be prohibitively expensive  for
farm-raised salmonids.  Without the addition of astaxanthin,  the
flesh  of  such  fish is a pale, off-white color, which  is  less
appealing  to  consumers expecting "salmon-colored"  fish.   Fish
feeding trials in Europe, Asia, and North and South America  have
demonstrated the efficacy of AstaXin(R) in pigmenting fish.    An
estimated  1,000,000  metric  tons  of  farm-raised  salmon   are
produced  annually worldwide.  The Joint Venture derived  revenue
during 2006 and  2005 from sales of AstaXin(R), the  majority  of
which  were  to  fish  producers in the aquaculture  industry  in
Chile, as well as sales exported to Japan and Canada.

                               -3-

     On May 20, 2000, Igene renewed its manufacturing arrangement
with Fermic, S.A. de C.V., of Mexico City, Mexico ("Fermic"), for
the production of its natural astaxanthin pigment, AstaXin(R), in
Fermic's  manufacturing facility in Mexico. Commercial production
began in January of 1998.

     The  Fermic contract executed in May 2000, provides that the
manufacturer has the non-exclusive right and license  to  produce
AstaXin(R) for the  Joint Venture, is paid a cash  fee  based  on
manufacturing  capacity, and has received  20,000,000  shares  of
Igene  common  stock  in  lieu  of additional  cash  for  product
manufactured  over the six year term.  Fermic provided  equipment
and facilities necessary to manufacture and store the product and
was  responsible for purchasing raw materials.  The Joint Venture
is  responsible for sales efforts and for ensuring the quality of
the  pigment.  The Joint Venture also has a role in ensuring that
the   manufacturing  process  works  effectively.   The  contract
expired  May 20, 2006, and Fermic has not been producing  product
as  the  two  companies  are currently discussing  renewing  this
agreement.  See Item 2. Description of Property.

     On  March 18, 2003, the Company entered into a Joint Venture
Agreement  with Tate & Lyle Fermentation Products Ltd.  ("Tate").
Pursuant  to  a  Joint Venture Agreement, the  Company  and  Tate
agreed  to  form  a  joint  venture  (the  "Joint  Venture")   to
manufacture, market and sell astaxanthin and derivative  products
throughout  the world for all uses other than as a  nutraceutical
or  otherwise  for  direct human consumption.   Tate  contributed
$24,600,000  in  cash  to  the Joint Venture  primarily  for  the
modification  of its Selby, England facility, while  the  Company
transferred to the Joint Venture its technology relating  to  the
production  of  Astaxanthin  and assets  related  thereto.  These
assets will continue to be used by the Joint Venture in the  same
manner as historically used by the Company.  The Company and Tate
each have a 50% ownership interest in the Joint Venture and equal
representation  on the Board of Directors of  the  Company.   The
initial  value  of the Company's investment in the Joint  Venture
has  been  recorded at an amount equal to the book value  of  the
Company's consideration contributed at the creation of the  Joint
Venture.    As   the  cost  of  the  Company's   technology   and
intellectual  property has been previously  expensed  and  had  a
carrying amount of zero, the investment in the Joint Venture  has
been  initially  recorded with a book value  of  $316,869,  which
represents  the unamortized production costs contributed  to  the
Joint  Venture.  In addition to the Company's initial  investment
in the Joint Venture, the Company has made $1,169,112 in advances
to the Joint Venture and a $6,000 capital investment.

     On  June 15th 2005, the Company executed a limited guarantee
for  one of the debt obligations of the Joint Venture, a copy  of
which  was  filed  with the 2005 Form 10-KSB  as  Exhibit  10.11.
Under  the terms of the limited guarantee, the Company agreed  to
guarantee  up to 4,200,000 British pounds sterling (approximately
$8,237,000  at  February  28, 2007).   The  Company  subsequently
entered into an agreement with Tate & Lyle (the other 50% partner
in  the  Joint Venture) where Tate & Lyle has agreed  to  arrange
funds   for  the  Joint  Venture,  without  recourse   to   Igene
Biotechnology, Inc., until the Joint Venture produces  a  regular
monthly  cash flow, as defined, for four consecutive months.  The
Joint Venture has not met the cash flow requirements. The Company
has subsequently received a full release from the guarantee.

     Production utilizes Tate's fermentation capability  together
with  the  unique technology developed by Igene. Part  of  Tate's
existing  Selby, England, citric acid facility has been  modified
to  produce  up to 1,500 tons per annum of astaxanthin.   Tate  &
Lyle's  investment of approximately $25 million included  certain
of its facility assets previously used in citric acid production.

     Based  on  estimates of worldwide production of farm  raised
salmon,  Igene  believes the market for astaxanthin  as  a  color
additive  in salmon feed exceeds $200,000,000 per year worldwide,
which   would   require   approximately  10,000  metric  tons  of
AstaXin(R) to serve 100% of the market.  A single competitor, who
produces  a  chemically  synthesized product,  presently controls
more  than  80%  of the world market for astaxanthin as a pigment
for aquaculture.

     During  2005,  the Joint Venture successfully completed  its
new production facility.  However, there can be no assurance that
the  Company and venture will be able to utilize these additional
sources of production capacity, or that, if it is able to utilize
the additional production capacity, that it will be able to do so
on  terms  favorable to Igene or that any level  of  demand  will
continue.

                               -4-

     During   2001,  Igene  began  investigating  other  possible
commercial  uses of astaxanthin, including its application  as  a
human  nutritional  supplement.   Igene  has  formulated  natural
astaxanthin as a  super-antioxidant, AstaXin(R),  for  the  North
American dietary supplement market.  Antioxidants are one of  the
largest product categories in the health and nutrition industry.

Patents and Trademarks

     It  is  Igene's policy to protect its intellectual  property
rights by a variety of means, including applying for patents  and
trademarks  in  the United States and in other countries.   Igene
also  relies  upon  trade  secrets and improvements,  un-patented
proprietary  know-how and continuing technological innovation  to
develop  and  maintain  its competitive  position.  Igene  places
restrictions in its agreements with third parties with respect to
the  use  and  disclosure  of any of its proprietary  technology.
Igene  also  has  internal  nondisclosure  safeguards,  including
confidentiality agreements with employees and consultants.

     All  patents and trademarks are carefully reviewed and those
with  no  foreseeable commercial value are abandoned to eliminate
costly  maintenance fees.  Patents, trademarks on technology  and
products  with  recognized commercial value, and which  Igene  is
currently maintaining, include those for AstaXin(R), have various
remaining lives ranging from 1 to 23 years.

Competition

     Competitors in the biotechnology field in the United  States
and   elsewhere   are  numerous  and  include   major   chemical,
pharmaceutical  and  food  companies,  as  well  as   specialized
biotechnology companies.  Competition can be expected to increase
as  small  biotechnology companies continue to  be  purchased  by
major  multinational  corporations  with  substantial  resources.
Competition is also expected to increase with the introduction of
more   diverse   products  developed  by   biotechnology   firms,
increasing  research cooperation among academic institutions  and
large  corporations, and continued government funding of research
and  development activities in the biotechnology field,  both  in
the   United   States  and  overseas.  Unlike  the  majority   of
biotechnology   companies,   which   are   developing    products
principally  for the pharmaceutical industry, Igene  has  focused
its own activities on the development of proprietary products for
use in aquaculture and nutritional supplement industries.  In the
future, however, competitors may offer products, that, by  reason
of   price,  or  efficacy,  or  more  substantial  resources  for
technology  advances,  may be superior  to  Igene's  existing  or
future products.

     A  single  large pharmaceutical company presently  dominates
the  market  for  astaxanthin pigment for  aquaculture  in  which
Igene's  product,  AstaXin(R),  is  presently  marketed and sold.
Igene  believes  that AstaXin(R), which is made from yeast,  will
compete  with  this  dominant producer, and other producers whose
products  are   chemically  synthesized,  based  on  its  use  of
natural ingredients.  As consumers and producers of  fish  become
more  aware  of other alternatives, Igene believes that they will
desire natural ingredients, such as those in AstaXin(R).

     Several  companies  are  also known  to  be  developing  and
marketing  other  natural astaxanthin products.   Some  of  these
companies'  products are made from algae, while others  are  made
from  yeast.  Igene  believes  that  AstaXin(R) will compete with
other companies'  astaxanthin products which are made from algae,
due to  Igene's  higher  production capacity and lower production
costs, but can provide no assurances in that regard.  Igene  also
believes  that AstaXin(R)  will  compete  with  other  companies'
astaxanthin products which are also made from yeast  due  to  our
proprietary  process  to  disrupt yeast  cell  walls,  which,  as
studies  have  shown,  makes  AstaXin(R) more readily absorbed by
fish.

     Igene  is  also  beginning to explore the  possible  use  of
AstaXin(R) as a  human nutritional supplement.   This  market  is
attractive  because of potentially higher profit  margins.  Other
companies   are  known  to  also  be  developing  and   marketing
astaxanthin products for the human nutritional supplement market.
Igene  cannot  yet predict how competitive it would  be  in  this
market.

Sources and Availability of Raw Materials

     Raw  materials used in the manufacture of AstaXin(R) consist
principally of agricultural commodities widely available in world
markets  from  many suppliers, which may be used interchangeably.
We  do  not anticipate material price fluctuations or changes  in
availability in these raw materials in the near future,  but  can
provide no assurances in that regard.

                              -5-

Employees

     At  December  31,  2006, Igene had 12 full  time  employees.
Three full time employees are in administration and/or marketing,
while  the remainder are engaged in research, process development
and support of manufacturing activities.  The employees are based
in  the  U.S.  Igene also utilizes various consultants on an  as-
needed or short-term basis.

     None  of Igene's employees are represented by a labor  union
and  Igene has experienced no work stoppages.  Igene believes its
relations with its employees are satisfactory.

ITEM 2.  DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY

     Igene leases approximately 8,500 square feet of space in the
Oakland  Ridge Industrial Park located at 9110 Red  Branch  Road,
Columbia,  Maryland.   Igene occupies the  space  under  a  lease
extension expiring on January 31, 2011.  The approximate  current
annual  rental expense is $118,600.  Approximately  2,000  square
feet  of  this  space  is used for executive  and  administrative
offices  and  approximately 2,500 feet is used for  research  and
development activities. The remaining 4,000 square feet of  space
is  used  for Igene's intermediate-stage or scale-up pilot  plant
facility.

     Igene is currently renegotiating its lease which expired May
2006  for  manufacturing capacity at Fermic S.A. de C.V. (Fermic)
in  Mexico  City, Mexico as well as the lease of warehouse  space
for  product  storage  in Mexico City.  The lease  for  warehouse
space  is on an as needed basis, and Igene is under no obligation
to lease space.

     Igene  began a one year lease in December 2001, which renews
annually,  of approximately 220 square feet of office  space,  in
Chile,  to conduct marketing and technical support activities  by
its  full-time  technical  representatives.   Igene  also  leases
warehouse  space on a month-to-month basis as needed for  product
storage in Chile.

     Igene  currently  owns  or leases sufficient  equipment  and
facilities for its research operations and all of this  equipment
is  in  satisfactory condition and is adequately insured.   There
are  no  current  plans for improvement of  this  property.    If
demand for Igene's product continues to increase, Igene plans  to
lease additional warehouse space as needed in Chile.

     Igene  obtained the above information through  Pink  Sheets,
LLC,  a  national quotation bureau.  Such quotations  are  inter-
dealer   quotations  without  retail  mark-up,   mark-downs,   or
commissions,  and  may  not represent actual  transactions.   The
above quotations do not reflect the "asking price" quotations  of
the stock.

     The  approximate number of record holders of Igene's  common
stock  as of February 28, 2007 was 250.  As of February 28, 2007,
the  high bid and low offer prices for the common stock, as shown
on  the "over-the-counter bulletin board" were $0.030 and $0.025,
respectively.

Dividend Policy

     When  and  if  funds are legally available for such  payment
under  statutory  restrictions, Igene may pay  annual  cumulative
dividends on the preferred stock of $.64 per share on a quarterly
basis.   During 1988 Igene declared and paid a cash  dividend  of
$.16  per share on its preferred stock.  In December 1988,  Igene
suspended payment of the quarterly dividend of $.16 per share  of
preferred  stock.  No dividends have been declared or paid  since
1988.   Any  resumption of dividend payments on  preferred  stock
would  require  significant improvement in cash flow.   Preferred
stock  dividends  are  payable when and if  declared  by  Igene's
board.   Unpaid  dividends  accumulate  for  future  payment   or
addition  to the liquidation preference and redemption  price  of
the preferred stock.  As of December 31, 2006, total dividends in
arrears on Igene's preferred stock equal $130,045 (or $11.68  per
share)  on  Igene's Series A Preferred Stock and are included  in
the carrying value of the Series A Preferred Stock.

     Dividends  on common stock are currently prohibited  because
of  the preferential rights of holders of preferred stock.  Igene
has  paid  no cash dividends on its common stock in the past  and
does  not  intend to declare or pay any dividends on  its  common
stock in the foreseeable future.

8% Notes

     Pursuant to the terms of an Indenture dated as of March  31,
1998,  as  amended (the "Indenture") between the  Registrant  and
American  Stock  Transfer  &  Trust  Company,  as  Trustee   (the
"Trustee"),  the  Company issued and sold $5,000,000  of  its  8%
notes  (the "8% Notes").  Concurrently with the issuance  of  the
Securities,  the Company issued, pursuant to a Warrant  Agreement
by  and  between Registrant and American Stock Transfer  &  Trust
Company  (the  "Warrant Agent") dated as of March  31,  1998,  as
amended   (the  "Warrant  Agreement"),  50,000,000  warrants   to
purchase  shares  of the Registrants common stock  for  $.10  per
share.   The  warrant purchase price under the Warrant  Agreement
was  reduced  to $.075 per share, and the maturity  date  of  the
Securities  extended  to March 31, 2006, by  an  amendment  dated
March 18, 2003 and approved by the requisite number of holders of
the Securities.
                               -7-

     On  March  28, 2006, the Registrant and Trustee and  Warrant
Agent  entered into a Second Amendment to Indenture,  Securities,
Warrant   Agreement   and  Warrant  Certificates   (the   "Second
Amendment") that extended the maturity date of the Securities  to
March  31, 2009, and reduced the warrant price under the  Warrant
Agreement from $.075 to $.056 per share.

     Both  the  Indenture, as amended, and the Warrant Agreement,
as   amended,   have  been  filed  as  Exhibits  4.2   and   4.3,
respectively, to this Form 10-KSB.

Sales of Unregistered Securities

     During  the  course  of 2006, Fermic, Igene's  manufacturing
agent,  earned  545,569 shares of common stock  as  part  of  the
manufacturing  agreement.  Fermic earns 2,250  shares  of  common
stock  for  each kilogram pure astaxanthin produced and delivered
as  part  of  the agreement. The average price is  based  on  the
market  value of the shares at the time the product was produced.
The  545,569 shares were earned at an average price of $.056  per
share for 2006.  Through December 31, 2006, all 20,000,000 shares
have been earned.  Igene relied on Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act  of  1933, as amended, to issue the shares to Fermic  without
registration under that act.  Igene relied on the representations
and  warranties of Fermic made in the manufacturing agreement  in
claiming the aforementioned exemption.

Default Upon Senior Securities

     As  previously stated in the Registrant's third quarter Form
10-QSB,  on  November  30, 2001, Igene entered  into  Convertible
Promissory  Notes  (the "Convertible Notes")  with  each  of  the
following  note holders for the following respective amounts  (a)
NorInnova  AS  (formerly  Forskningsparken  I  Tromso   AS)   for
$106,500;  (b)  Knut Gjernes for $7,500; (c) Magne Russ  Simenson
for  $378,000; and (d) Nord Invest AS for $313,000.  Each of  the
Convertible  Notes had a maturity date of November 1,  2004.   On
November  18, 2005, each of the Convertible Note Holders provided
Igene   with  written  notice  of  default  under  each  of   the
Convertible Notes.

     On  November 29, 2006, the Convertible Note holders filed  a
complaint  against  the Company in the Circuit  Court  of  Howard
County,  Maryland seeking payment of all outstanding amounts  due
under the Convertible Notes.   On February 23, 2007, the Company,
paid  $762,638  to the Convertible Note holders as settlement  of
all  claims related to the Convertible Notes.  The complaint  was
dismissed with prejudice on March 6, 2007.

ITEM 6.   MANAGEMENT'S   DISCUSSION   AND  ANALYSIS  OR  PLAN  OF
          OPERATION

     Certain  statements  in this report set  forth  management's
intentions,  plans, beliefs, expectations or predictions  of  the
future  based on current facts and analyses.  Actual results  may
differ materially from those indicated in such statements, due to
a  variety of factors including competitive pressures from  other
companies and within the biotech industry, economic conditions in
Igene's  primary  markets,  exchange rate  fluctuations,  reduced
product   demand,   increased  competition,   unavailability   of
production  capacity,  unavailability  of  financing,  government
action,  weather  conditions and other  uncertainties,  including
those  detailed in "Risk Factors" that are included from time-to-
time in Igene's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Results of Operations

     On  March 18, 2003, the Company entered into a Joint Venture
Agreement  with Tate & Lyle Fermentation Products Ltd.  ("Tate").
Pursuant  to  a  Joint Venture Agreement, the  Company  and  Tate
agreed  to  form  a  joint  venture  (the  "Joint  Venture")   to
manufacture, market and sell astaxanthin and derivative  products
throughout  the world for all uses other than as a  Nutraceutical
or  otherwise  for  direct human consumption.   Tate  contributed
$24,600,000  in  cash  to the Joint Venture,  while  the  Company
transferred to the Joint Venture its technology relating  to  the
production  of  Astaxanthin  and assets  related  thereto.  These
assets  continue  to  be used by the Joint Venture  in  the  same
manner as historically used by the Company.  The Company and Tate
each have a 50% ownership interest in the Joint Venture and equal
representation  on the Board of Directors of the  Joint  Venture.
The  initial  value  of  the Company's investment  in  the  Joint
Venture has been recorded at an amount equal to the book value of
the  Company's consideration contributed at the creation  of  the
Joint  Venture.   As  the  cost of the Company's  technology  and
intellectual  property had been previously  expensed  and  had  a
carrying amount of zero, the investment in the Joint Venture  has

                             -8-

been recorded with a book value of $316,869, which represents the
unamortized  production costs contributed to the  Joint  Venture.
In  addition, the Company also contributed $6,000 to the  capital
of the Joint Venture.

     Production  utilizes Tate's fermentation capability together
with  the  unique technology developed by Igene.  Part of  Tate's
existing  Selby,  England, citric acid facility was  modified  to
produce  up  to  1,500  tons per annum  of  astaxanthin.   Tate's
investment of approximately $25 million includes certain  of  its
facility assets previously used in citric acid production.  Sales
and  cost  of  sales activity are now recorded  as  part  of  the
operations of the unconsolidated venture.

     As  a result of the Joint Venture, the production, sales and
marketing  of  Astaxanthin now takes place in the  unconsolidated
Joint Venture.  From inception on March 18, 2003 through December
31,  2006, the Joint Venture's results of operations included the
following:    Gross  profit  from  inception   was   a   negative
$15,165,979 on sales of $27,772,879, less manufacturing  cost  of
$42,938,858.   Selling  and general and  administrative  expenses
were  $13,090,287,  and  interest expense  was  $3,588,534.   The
resulting  loss  since  inception was $31,844,800.   Igene's  50%
portion of the cumulative Joint Venture loss through December 31,
2006 was $15,922,400.

     Because the Company accounts for its investment in the Joint
Venture   under  the  equity  method  of  accounting,  it   would
ordinarily recognize a loss representing its 50% equity  interest
in  the loss of the Joint Venture.  However, losses in the  Joint
Venture  are  recognized only to the extent of the investment  in
and  advances  to the Joint Venture.  Losses in  excess  of  this
amount are suspended from recognition in the financial statements
and  are  carried forward to offset Igene's share  of  the  Joint
Venture's future income, if any.

     At  December  31,  2006,  prior to the  recognition  of  its
portion  of  the  Joint Venture loss, Igene's investment  in  the
Joint Venture consisted of  $322,869 and its net advances to  the
Joint  Venture amounted to $1,169,112, for a total of $1,491,981.
For  the  year ended December 31, 2005, Igene recognized $374,527
of  its share of a $5,931,049 loss.   For the year ended December
31,  2006, Igene recognized losses to the extent of the  increase
in  advances  of  $109,147.   The remainder  of  approximately  5
million,  is  suspended  and will be carried  forward  to  offset
Igene's  share of earnings from the Joint Venture, if  any.   The
balance  in  the  advances  to and investment  in  Joint  Venture
account on the Company's financial statements is zero at December
31, 2006.

Sales and other revenue

     As  part  of  the  Joint  Venture agreement,  all  sales  of
AstaXin(R) are recognized through the Joint Venture.   Therefore,
Igene  recorded  no sales during 2006 or 2005.   Sales  had  been
limited  in  past years due to insufficient production  quantity.
The  Joint  Venture has provide a more dependable  product  flow.
However, there can be no assurance of the continued dependability
of  production, or that any increases in production or sales will
occur, or that if they occur, they will be material.

Cost of sales and gross profit

     As  with sales revenue, beginning July 2003 forward, cost of
sales  and  gross profit are recognized and will continue  to  be
recognized  through the Joint Venture.  Igene reported  no  gross
profit on sales of AstaXin(R) for 2006 or 2005.

Marketing and selling expenses

     Marketing and  selling expenses for  2006  were  $98,240,  a
decrease  of  $184,211,  or 65% from the  marketing  and  selling
expenses of $282,451 for 2005.   As a result of the Joint Venture
with Tate, Igene is expecting an increase in salable product with
a  corresponding increase in selling expenses as the new facility
is  now  in  full  production.  As a result of Mr.  Benjaminsen's
resignation  as the Director of Sales and Marketing during  2006,
the  cost  of  the  majority  of  the  sales  activity  has  been
transferred  to  the  Joint Venture.  All marketing  and  selling
expenses  incurred  by  Igene since the inception  of  the  Joint
Venture,  with  the exception of the cost related to  the  shares
reissued  to Fermtech as part of the ProBio agreement, have  been
reimbursed  by  the Joint Venture.  All of 2006 and approximately
$240,000   of  the  2005  marketing  and  selling  expenses   was
reimbursed by the Joint Venture.

                              -9-

Research, development and pilot plant expenses

     Research, development and pilot plant expenses for 2006  and
2005  were  $847,598  and $819,782, respectively,  reflecting  an
increase of $27,816 or 3.4%.  Costs are expected to be maintained
at  this  level  to  support  increasing the  efficiency  of  the
manufacturing  process through experimentation in  the  Company's
pilot  plant, undertaken in an attempt to develop higher yielding
strains  of  yeast  and  other  improvements  in  the   Company's
AstaXin(R)  technology,  as  well  as through travel to the Selby
facility  to aid in further development of the plant.   Igene  is
hoping  this  will  lead  to  a  reduced cost for salable product
marketed by Igene and the Joint Venture.   However, no assurances
can be made in that regard.   All  research and development costs
were funded through reimbursement from the Joint Venture.

General and administrative expenses

     General  and  administrative expenses for 2006 increased  by
$216,997,   or  27%,  from  those  in  2005,  from  $805,054   to
$1,022,051.    These  additional  costs  are  due  to   increased
reporting  costs  related to SEC and public filing  requirements,
legal  costs  related to extension of the 8% notes,  as  well  as
increased rent and salary expenses.  These costs are expected  to
drop  slightly  from  the current increased  level.   The  salary
increases included 1,000,000 shares of common stock issued to the
Joint  Venture's new Vice President of Manufacturing as  part  of
his  agreement in accepting the position.  The cost was  expensed
in  the  third quarter as payroll expense, at a cost of $.05  per
share, for a total expense of $50,000.  This is a one time  cost.
In  addition, there was $95,000 of non-reimbursed compensation in
2006.  These expenses, net of reimbursements, are expected to  be
funded by additional funding from stockholders, and by cash flows
from  operations,  to  the extent available  for  such  purposes.
However,  we  can  provide  no assurances  that  such  additional
funding  or  cash flows from operations will become available  or
that such funding, if any, will be available upon terms favorable
to  us.   Of  the  general and administrative  expenses  incurred
during  2006 approximately $715,000 were reimbursed by the  Joint
Venture.   During  2005, approximately $770,000  of  general  and
administration expenses were reimbursed by the Joint Venture.

Expenses reimbursement by Joint Venture

     As  part  of the Joint Venture agreement, costs incurred  by
Igene related to production, research and development, as well as
those  related to the marketing of AstaXin(R), and  most  of  the
general and administrative expenses, are considered costs of  the
Joint  Venture and therefore are reimbursed by the Joint Venture.
For  the  year ended December 31, 2006, costs reimbursed  by  the
Joint Venture totaled $1,660,519.  Of the reimbursement received,
approximately  $848,000  was to cover  research  and  development
costs,  $98,000 was to cover marketing and selling  expenses  and
$715,000 was to cover general and administrative costs.  For  the
year  ended  December  31, 2005, costs reimbursed  by  the  Joint
Venture   totaled  $1,830,198.   Of  the  reimbursement  received
approximately  $820,000  was to cover  research  and  development
costs,  $240,000 was to cover marketing and selling expenses  and
$770,000 was to cover general and administrative costs.

Interest expense (net of interest income)

     Interest expense for 2006 and 2005 was $753,791 and $857,013
respectively,  a  decrease of $103,222  or  12%.   This  interest
expense (net of interest income) was almost entirely composed  of
interest  on  Igene's long term financing from its directors  and
other  stockholders  and  interest on  Igene's  subordinated  and
convertible debentures, and is expected to remain at the  current
level.   The  amount  recorded in 2006 was  reduced  by  interest
income  of $77,982 received from the Joint Venture based  on  the
outstand balance due to Igene.

Equity in earnings of Joint Venture

     As  a result of the Joint Venture, the production, sales and
marketing  of  astaxanthin now take place in  the  unconsolidated
Joint  Venture.   For  the  years ended 2006  and  2005,  Igene's
portion  of the Joint Venture loss was $5,103,852 and $5,931,049,
respectively, a decreased loss of $827,197 or 14%.  The loss  was
a  result  of a 50% interest in the following:  Gross profit  for
2006   was   a  negative  $4,137,386  compared  with  a  negative
$6,672,593  for  2005,  a  decreased  loss  of  $2,535,207.   The
decrease   in  the  losses  was  due  mainly  to  the   increased
efficiencies associated with the development of production in the
Joint  Venture facility.  Losses are still being incurred due  to
the  reduction in sales price, due to increased competition.   As
sales  for  2006  decreased to $10,027,656 from  $10,961,223  for
2005, associated manufacturing costs decreased to $14,165,042 for
2006  from  $17,633,816 for 2005.  Management expects  the  Joint

                             -10-

Venture  to  be  able to sell product at a gross  profit  through
expected  increases  in production efficiency  derived  from  the
continued  development  of the Joint Venture  with  Tate  &  Lyle
offsetting  pricing competition, but can provide no assurances in
that regard.

     As  a condition of Igene's acceptance of the Selby facility,
Tate  and  Lyle  has  assumed a portion of the  Selby  facility's
production  costs.  These cost have been reduced from  the  Joint
Venture's cost of manufacturing in 2005 of $1,600,000.

     The  Company attributes the negative gross profit to pricing
pressure in the market.  Demand is expected to increase both  due
to  seasonal  increases in customer usage and  increases  in  our
market   share.    The  Company  believes  potential   production
efficiencies could alleviate these pricing pressures as the Joint
Venture plant continues to develop.

     Selling,  general and administrative expenses for the  years
ended  2006 and 2005 were $3,874,710 and $3,947,577, respectively
a  decrease of $72,867.  These expenses are expected to remain at
current levels.  Interest expense increased to $2,195,607 in 2006
from  $1,241,927  in  2005 as the Joint Venture  incurs  debt  to
finance its operation. The resulting losses were $10,207,703  and
$11,862,097 for the years ended 2006 and 2005, respectively.  For
2006,  Igene's 50% equity interest in the Joint Venture loss  was
$5,103,852.   Igene's 50% equity interest in  the  Joint  Venture
loss was $5,931,049 for 2005.

     Because the Company accounts for its investment in the Joint
Venture   under  the  equity  method  of  accounting,  it   would
ordinarily recognize a loss representing its 50% equity  interest
in  the loss of the Joint Venture.  However, losses in the  Joint
Venture  are  recognized only to the extent of the investment  in
and  advances  to the Joint Venture.  Losses in  excess  of  this
amount are suspended from recognition in the financial statements
and  carried  forward  to  offset  Igene's  share  of  the  Joint
Venture's future income, if any.  From the inception of the Joint
Venture   through  December  31,  2006,  $14,430,419   has   been
suspended.

     On  March  29,  2007  the  Company was informed by their 50%
partner in the Joint Venture, Tate and Lyle, that they determined
to  write  down  their  portion  of  the  investment in the Joint
Venture.  There  has  been  no impairment charge reflected by the
Joint Venture  as of December 31, 2006.  During the first quarter
of  2007,  the  Joint  Venture  will  make  its annual impairment
assessment and any necessary write-downs will be recorded at that
time.

Loss on Disposal

     During 2005, Igene sold equipment and wrote off a receivable
from  the prior sale of equipment it had determined would not  be
of  use  in  the Joint Venture facility and recorded  a  loss  on
disposal of $106,150.  This is a one time occurrence.

Net loss and basic and diluted net loss per common share

     As  a  result of the foregoing results of operations,  Igene
reported  net  losses of $1,155,773 and $1,414,779 for  2006  and
2005,  respectively, a decreased loss of $259,006 or 18%, a  loss
of $.01 per basic and diluted common share in both 2006 and 2005.
The weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding
was  108,387,454 and 103,384,377 for 2006 and 2005, respectively,
an  increase  of  5,003,077 shares.  The increase in  outstanding
shares resulted from primarily the weighted average adjustment of
the  issuance of 545,569 shares to Igene's manufacturer under the
manufacturing  agreement  with  Fermic,  and  the   issuance   of
1,000,000 shares of common stock to the Joint Venture's new  Vice
President of Manufacturing as part of his employment agreement in
accepting the position, as well as the weighted average effect of
the 2,453,208 shares issued at the end of 2005.

Financial Position

     During  2006  and 2005, the following also affected  Igene's
financial position:

     o  During 2006, decreases in accounts receivable and prepaid
        expenses  and  other  assets  of  $14,619   and  $27,419,
        respectively,  and  increases  in  accounts  payable  and
        accrued expenses of $899,534 were sources of cash.

     o  During 2006,  $109,147  was used in advances to the Joint
        Venture, as compared with $374,527 used in 2005.

                              -11-

     o  During 2005, decreases in accounts receivable of $65,009,
        and increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of
        $774,386 were sources of cash.

     Since December 1988, as part of an overall effort to contain
costs  and  conserve working capital, Igene suspended payment  of
the quarterly dividend on its preferred stock.  Resumption of the
dividend  will  require significant improvements  in  cash  flow.
Unpaid  dividends cumulate for future payment or addition to  the
liquidation  preference  or redemption  value  of  the  preferred
stock.   As  of December 31, 2006, total dividends in arrears  on
Igene's  Series A preferred stock equal $130,045 (or  $11.68  per
share)  and  are  included  in the carrying  value  of  the  such
preferred stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

     Historically,  Igene  has been funded  primarily  by  equity
contributions  and loans from stockholders. As  of  December  31,
2006, Igene had a negative working capital of $926,115, and  cash
and cash equivalents of $21,786.

     Cash  provided by operating activities in 2006 was  $100  as
compared to $290,024 in 2005.

     Cash  used  by investing activities in 2006 was $109,147  as
compared to $374,527 used by investing activities in 2005.

     During  2005, no cash was provided by financing  activities.
During  2006  cash provided by financing activities was  $11,088.
It was comprised primarily of exercise of employee stock options.

     Over  the  next twelve months, Igene believes it  will  need
additional  working  capital.  This funding  is  expected  to  be
received from sales of AstaXin(R), resulting in income  from  the
Joint Venture.  However, there can be no assurance that projected
profits, if any, from sales, or additional funding from the Joint
Venture  will  be  sufficient for Igene  to  fund  its  continued
operations.

     Igene  does  not  believe that inflation had  a  significant
impact on its operations during 2005 and 2006.

Critical Accounting Policies

     The  preparation  of our financial statements in  conformity
with  accounting  principles generally  accepted  in  the  United
States  requires  management to make judgments,  assumptions  and
estimates  that  affect  the amounts reported  in  our  financial
statements  and accompanying notes.  Actual results could  differ
materially  from  those  estimates.  The following  are  critical
accounting  policies  important to our  financial  condition  and
results  of operations presented in the financial statements  and
require  management  to  make judgments and  estimates  that  are
inherently uncertain:

     The  Joint Venture's inventories are stated at the lower  of
cost  or  market.   Cost is determined using  a  weighted-average
approach,  which approximates the first-in first-out method.   If
the  cost of the inventories exceeds their expected market value,
provisions are recorded for the difference between the  cost  and
the  market  value.   Inventories consist of  currently  marketed
products.

     The Joint Venture recognizes revenue from product sales when
there is persuasive evidence that an arrangement exists, delivery
has   occurred,   the  price  is  fixed  and  determinable,   and
collectibility is reasonably assured.  Allowances are established
for   estimated  uncollectible  amounts,  product   returns   and
discounts.

     The  Joint Venture has entered into a lease of real property
with  an affiliate of Tate & Lyle in Selby, England upon which  a
manufacturing facility has been constructed and operated  by  the
Joint  Venture.   The Joint Venture is accounted  for  under  the
equity  method  of accounting as the Company has a 50%  ownership
interest.

     The  Company cannot recognize the loss of the Joint  Venture
beyond  the investment and advances to the Joint Venture  or  the
amount  of  debt guaranteed by Igene, if any.  This excess  loss,
and  all future losses incurred as a result of the Joint Venture,
that are in excess of the Company's investment and advances, will
be  suspended  until  the point that the  profits  of  the  Joint
Venture, if any, exceed the incurred losses.

ITEM 7.   CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The  consolidated financial statements appear after Part III
of this Report and are incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 8.   CHANGES  IN  AND  DISAGREEMENTS  WITH  ACCOUNTANTS  AND
          FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

     As   of  February  15,  2005,  the  Company  dismissed   its
registered public accountant, Stegman & Company ("Stegman"),  due
to  the  Registrant's increased international audit  requirements
brought  about  by  the Company's 50% participation  in  a  joint
venture with Tate & Lyle PLC ("Tate & Lyle"), which joint venture
produces AstaXin(R) for the aquaculture industry at Tate & Lyle's
Selby,  England  facility.  The decision to dismiss  Stegman  was
recommended by the Board of Directors of the Registrant during  a
meeting held on February 8, 2005.     The audit reports issued by
Stegman   on  the  consolidated  financial  statements   of   the
Registrant  as  of  and for the years ended  December  31,  2003,
December  31, 2002 and prior, did not contain an adverse  opinion
or  a  disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified,
as  to  uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except
as follows:

          Stegman's  reports contain explanatory paragraphs.
          The paragraph states that the Company has suffered
          recurring  losses from operations since  inception
          and  has a working capital deficiency that  raises
          substantial doubt about its ability to continue as
          a   going   concern.  The  consolidated  financial
          statements  do  not include any  adjustments  that
          might result from the outcome of that uncertainty.

     There  have  been  no  material  disagreements  between  the
Registrant and Stegman on any matter of accounting principles  or
practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing  scope  or
procedure,   which  disagreements,  if  not   resolved   to   the
satisfaction  of  Stegman,  would have  caused  Stegman  to  make
reference  to  the subject matter thereof in its  report  on  the
Registrant's consolidated financial statements for such periods.

     A letter from Stegman addressed to the Securities & Exchange
Commission   ("SEC")  stating  that  Stegman  agrees   with   the
statements contained herein has been filed as an exhibit to  this
Form 10-KSB.

     The  Registrant  has  appointed Berenson LLP ("Berenson") as
its  new  registered  public accountants effective as of February
14, 2005.  The  selection  of  Berenson was approved by the Audit
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Registrant on February
8, 2005.


ITEM 8A.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

     Based  on  their  most  recent review, which  was  completed
within  90  days  of  the balance sheet date,  Igene's  principal
executive  officer and principal financial officer have concluded
that Igene's disclosure controls and procedures are effective  to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by Igene in  the
reports  that  it files or submits under the Securities  Exchange
Act  of  1934,  as  amended, is accumulated and  communicated  to
Igene's management, including its principal executive officer and
principal  financial  officer, as  appropriate  to  allow  timely
decisions  regarding  required disclosure and  are  effective  to
ensure  that such information is recorded, processed,  summarized
and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules
and  forms. There were no significant changes in Igene's internal
controls  or  in  other  factors that could significantly  affect
those controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.

     The  Company  has  restated its previously issued  financial
results  for  the second, third and fourth quarters of  2003,  as
well  as the first three quarters of 2004.  This restatement  was
primarily  the result of the Company's investment  in  the  Joint
Venture which should have been recorded at an amount equal to the
historical  book value of the Company's consideration contributed
at the creation of the Joint Venture (not its fair value).  As  a
result,  the  investment in the Joint Venture  should  have  been
initially  recorded  with a value of $316,860,  rather  than  the
$12,300,000   initially  recorded  in  the   restated   financial
statements.

                              -13-

     Additionally, the Company cannot recognize the loss  of  the
Joint  Venture  beyond  its investment  in  the  Venture  or  the
guarantee of the Joint Venture debt by Igene, if any.  As of  the
fourth quarter of 2003, the Company had an initial investment  of
and  amounts  due  from the Joint Venture of  $818,052.   Igene's
share  of  the  loss through December 31, 2003 equaled  $914,494,
exceeding the total investment by $96,442.  This excess loss, and
all future losses incurred as a result of the Joint Venture, that
are  in  excess  of  the Company's investment and  advances,  are
suspended until the point that the profits of the Joint  Venture,
if any, exceed the incurred losses.

     The  restatement  also  included the classification  of  the
Company's  preferred  stock  as liabilities  in  accordance  with
Statement  of Financial Accounting Standards No. 150  "Accounting
for  certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics  of  both
Liabilities  and Equity" ("FASB 150"), which become effective  in
the  third  quarter  of  2003.   Amounts  previously  treated  as
dividends have been classified as interest expense.

                              -14-

Retirement Plans

     Effective February 1, 1997 Igene adopted a Simple Retirement
Plan under Internal Revenue Code Section 408(p).  The plan was  a
defined  contribution plan, which covered  all  of  Igene's  U.S.
employees  who  receive at least $5,000 of compensation  for  the
preceding    year.    The   plan   permits   elective    employee
contributions.  Effective January 1, 2003, Igene made an elective
contribution  of 3% of each eligible employee's compensation  for
each  year.   Igene's  contributions to the plan  for  2003  were
$17,631.

      Effective  February 1, 2004 Igene discontinued use  of  the
Simple Retirement Plan and began use of a 401K savings/retirement
plan,  or  401(k)  Plan.  The 401(k) Plan  permits  our  eligible
employees  to  defer annual compensation, subject to  limitations
imposed  by the Internal Revenue Code.  All employees  that  have
been  employed for three months are eligible for the  plan.   The
plan  permits  elective contributions by the  Company's  eligible
employees  based  under  the Internal  Revenue  Code,  which  are
immediately vested and non-forfeitable upon contribution  to  the
401(k)  Plan.  Effective January 1, 2004, Igene made an  elective
contribution,  subject to limitations, of  4%  of  each  eligible
employee's compensation for each year.  Igene's contributions  to
the   plan   for   2006  and  2005  were  $25,996  and   $23,052,
respectively,  which  is  expensed  in  the  2006  statement   of
operations.

Life Insurance Plans

     Igene provides life insurance benefits to its employees that
in the event of an employee's death would pay to  the  employee's
beneficiary 2 times the employees annual salary up to $150,000.

Severance Benefit

     In  cases where a termination of employment is initiated  by
the  Company  for  economic  reasons (e.g.  reduction  in  force,
reorganization  or position elimination) the terminated  employee
will  receive one week of severance at base pay for each year  of
service, up to a maximum of 12 weeks.

                              -17-

Stock Option Plans

     Igene   currently  maintains  two  stock  incentive   plans.
Igene's  2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the "2001 Plan"),  which  was
approved  by  Igene's stockholders on June 12,  2001,  authorized
55,000,000  options and shares of restricted stock  for  issuance
under  that  plan.   Igene's 1997 Stock Option  Plan  (the  "1997
Plan"),  which was approved by Igene's stockholders  on  November
17,  1997, authorized 20,000,000 options for issuance under  that
plan.  A  committee  of  the Board of Directors  administers  the
Plans.

     The  purpose  of  the  Plans  is to  further  the  long-term
stability  and  financial  success of  Igene  by  attracting  and
retaining  employees and consultants through the  use  of  stock-
based  incentives,  and to provide non-employee  members  of  the
Board  of  Directors with an additional incentive to promote  the
success of Igene.  It is believed that ownership of Igene  common
stock  will stimulate the efforts of those employees, consultants
and  non-employee  directors upon whose  judgment  and  interests
Igene is and will be largely dependent for the successful conduct
of  its  business.   It  is also believed that  incentive  awards
granted  to  employees  under these plans will  strengthen  their
desire  to  remain  employed  with Igene  and  will  further  the
identification of employees' interests with those of Igene.

     Options  are exercisable at such rates and times as  may  be
fixed by the committee.  Options also become exercisable in  full
upon  (i)  the holder's retirement on or after his 65th birthday,
(ii)  the disability or death of the holder, or (iii) under other
circumstances as determined by the Committee.  Options  generally
terminate  on  the  tenth  business day  following  cessation  of
service  as  an  employee,  director, consultant  or  independent
contractor.

     Options  may be exercised by payment in full of  the  option
price in cash or check, or by delivery of previously-owned shares
of  common stock having a total fair market value on the date  of
exercise  equal to the option price, or by such other methods  as
permitted by the Committee.

     The  Plans contain anti-dilution provisions in the event  of
certain corporate transactions.

     The  Board  of Directors may at any time withdraw  from,  or
amend,   the  Plans  and  any  options  not  heretofore  granted.
Stockholder  approval is required to (i) increase the  number  of
shares  issuable  under the Plans, (ii) increase  the  number  of
options  which  may be granted to any individual during  a  year,

</TABLE>

      Audit  services of Berenson LLP for fiscal years  2006  and
2005  consisted  of  the  audit  of  the  consolidated  financial
statements  of  the  Company and quarterly reviews  of  financial
statements.  "Tax Fees" include charges primarily related to  tax
return preparation and tax consulting services.  In 2003, the SEC
adopted a rule pursuant to the Federal Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
that,   except  with  respect  to  certain  de  minimis  services
discussed below, requires Audit Committee pre-approval  of  audit
and  non-audit  services  provided by the  Company's  independent
auditors.   All  of the 2006 services described above  were  pre-
approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to this SEC rule to  the
extent that rule was applicable during fiscal year 2006.

     The Audit Committee's policy is to pre-approve all audit and
permitted  non-audit services, except that de  minimis  non-audit
services,  as  defined in Section 10A(i)(1) of the Exchange  Act,
may  be  approved  prior  to the completion  of  the  independent
auditor's  audit.  The Audit Committee has reviewed summaries  of
the  services  provided and the related fees and  has  determined
that  the  provision  of non-audit services  is  compatible  with
maintaining the independence of Berenson LLP.

includes  examining,  on  a test basis, evidence  supporting  the
amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
An  audit also includes assessing the accounting principles  used
and  significant  estimates  made  by  management,  as  well   as
evaluating  the  overall  financial statement  presentation.   We
believe  that  our  audits  provide a reasonable  basis  for  our
opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above  present  fairly, in all material respects,  the  financial
position  of  IGENE  Biotechnology, Inc.  and  subsidiary  as  of
December 31, 2006, and the results of their operations and  their
cash  flows  for the years ended December 31, 2006 and  2005,  in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted  in  the
United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming
that  the Company will continue as a going concern.  As discussed
in   Note  13  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements,  the
Company's  recurring  losses,  and limited  capitalization  raise
substantial  doubt  about its ability  to  continue  as  a  going
concern.   Management's plans regarding those  matters  also  are
described  in Note 13.  The financial statements do  not  include
any  adjustments  that  might result from  the  outcome  of  this
uncertainty.

(1) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    __________________________________________

    Nature of Operations
    ____________________

    Igene  Biotechnology, Inc. ("Igene") was  incorporated  under
    the  laws  of  the State of Maryland on October 27,  1981  as
    "Industrial Genetics, Inc."  Igene changed its name  to  "IGI
    Biotechnology,  Inc."  on  August  17,  1983  and  to  "Igene
    Biotechnology, Inc." on April 14, 1986.  Igene is located  in
    Columbia,  Maryland  and  is  engaged  in  the  business   of
    industrial  microbiology and related biotechnologies.   Igene
    has  an  operational subsidiary in Chile and through February
    2003  had  a subsidiary in Norway.  Igene is engaged  in  the
    business   of   developing,  marketing,   and   manufacturing
    specialty   ingredients  for  human  and  animal   nutrition.
    Igene  was  formed to develop, produce and market value-added
    specialty  biochemical  products.  Igene  is  a  supplier  of
    natural astaxanthin, an essential nutrient in different  feed
    applications  and  a  source of pigment for  coloring  farmed
    salmon   species.    Igene  is  also  venturing   to   supply
    astaxanthin as a nutraceutical ingredient.  Igene is  focused
    on   fermentation  technology,  pharmacology,  nutrition  and
    health   in   its  marketing  of  products  and  applications
    worldwide.

    Igene  has  devoted  its  resources  to  the  development  of
    proprietary  processes to convert selected  agricultural  raw
    materials  or  feedstocks into commercially useful  and  cost
    effective   products   for  the  food,   feed,   flavor   and
    agrochemical  industries.  In developing these processes  and
    products,  Igene has relied on the expertise  and  skills  of
    its  in-house  scientific staff and,  for  special  projects,
    various consultants.

    In  an  effort to develop a dependable source of  production,
    on  March 18, 2003, Tate and Lyle and Igene announced a 50:50
    joint  venture  to  produce  AstaXin(R) for  the  aquaculture
    industry.  Production  utilizes Tate  &  Lyle's  fermentation
    capability  together with the unique technology developed  by
    Igene.  Part of Tate & Lyle's existing Selby, England, citric
    acid  facility  was  modified to include  the  production  of
    1,500   tons  per  annum  of  astaxanthin.   Tate  &   Lyle's
    investment  of approximately $25 million includes certain  of
    its  facility assets that were previously used in citric acid
    production.

    Principles of Consolidation
    ___________________________

    The  accounts  of  our other wholly-owned  subsidiary,  Igene
    Chile,  are included in the consolidation of these  financial
    statements.    All  significant  intercompany  accounts   and
    transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

    Cash and cash equivalents
    _________________________

    Igene  considers  cash equivalents to be  short-term,  highly
    liquid  investments  that have original  maturities  of  less
    than  90  days.  These include interest bearing money  market
    accounts.

    Accounts Receivable
    ___________________

    Accounts  receivable  are  stated at  the  amount  management
    expects   to   collect   from   the   outstanding   balances.
    Management   provides  for  probable  uncollectible   amounts
    through  a  charge to earnings and a credit  to  a  valuation
    allowance   based  upon  its  assessment   of   the   current
    collection   status  of  individual  accounts.     Delinquent
    amounts  that are outstanding after management has  conducted
    reasonable  collection  efforts, are written  off  through  a
    charge  to  the valuation allowance and a credit to  accounts
    receivable.  During 2005 assets were sold for less  then  the
    initial  agreed  upon  price with  the  distributor  and  the
    $50,000 balance remaining was written off.

             Years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005


    Investment in and advances to unconsolidated joint venture
    __________________________________________________________

    The  investment in the Joint Venture is accounted  for  under
    the   equity  method  whereby  the  Company's  50%  ownership
    percentage in the Joint Venture is reflected as an  asset  in
    the  consolidated balance sheet and the changes in the  Joint
    Venture's  equity as a result of its operations is  reflected
    in  the Company's consolidated statement of operations.   The
    Company  evaluates  its investment in the Joint  Venture  for
    impairment,  as  it  does  for all  long  term  assets.   The
    Company  can  not  recognize the loss of  the  Joint  Venture
    beyond  its  investment in and advances to the Joint  Venture
    or  the  amount of debt guaranteed by Igene,  if  any.   This
    excess  loss, and all future losses incurred as a  result  of
    the  Joint  Venture,  that  are in excess  of  the  Company's
    investment  and advances, are suspended until the point  that
    the  profits  of  the  Joint  Venture,  if  any,  exceed  the
    incurred  losses.  The accounting policies  followed  by  the
    Joint  Venture  are in conformity with accounting  principles
    generally accepted in the United States of America.

    On  June  15th 2005, the Company executed a limited guarantee
    for  one of the debt obligations of the Joint Venture.  Under
    the  terms  of the limited guarantee, the Company has  agreed
    to   guarantee  up  to  4,200,000  British  Pounds   sterling
    (approximately  $8,237,000  at  February  28,   2007).    The
    Company  subsequently entered into an agreement with  Tate  &
    Lyle  (the  other  50% partner in the Joint Venture)  whereby
    Tate  &  Lyle  has  agreed to arrange  funds  for  the  Joint
    Venture,  without recourse to Igene, until the Joint  Venture
    produces  a regular monthly cash flow, as defined,  for  four
    consecutive months.   The Joint Venture  has not met the cash
    flow requirements.   The  Company has subsequently received a
    full release from the guarantee.

    Research and development costs
    ______________________________

    For  financial reporting purposes, research, development  and
    pilot  plant  scale-up  costs  are  charged  to  expense   as
    incurred.

    Property and Equipment
    ______________________

    Property  and  equipment are stated at cost less  accumulated
    depreciation  and amortization computed using  the  straight-
    line  method.   Premises and equipment are  depreciated  over
    the  useful  lives of the assets, which generally range  from
    three  to  ten  years for furniture, fixtures and  equipment,
    three  to  five  years  for computer software  and  hardware.
    Leasehold  improvements are amortized over the terms  of  the
    respective  leases  or  the estimated  useful  lives  of  the
    improvements,  whichever  is  shorter.   The  cost  of  major
    renewals and betterments are capitalized, while the costs  of
    ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.

    Estimates
    _________

    The  preparation  of financial statements in conformity  with
    accounting  principles  generally acceptable  in  the  United
    States  of America requires management to make estimates  and
    assumptions  that affect the reported amounts of  assets  and
    liabilities   and   disclosure  of  contingent   assets   and
    liabilities at the date of the financial statements  and  the
    reported   amounts  of  revenues  and  expenses  during   the
    reporting  period.   Actual results could differ  from  those
    estimates.

             Years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005


    Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions
    _____________________________________________

    Since   the   day-to-day  operations   of   Igene's   foreign
    subsidiary   in   Chile  are  dependent   on   the   economic
    environment of the parent's currency, the financial  position
    and  results of operations of Igene's foreign subsidiary  are
    determined  using Igene's reporting currency (US dollars)  as
    the  functional currency.  All exchange gains and losses from
    remeasurement  of  monetary assets and liabilities  that  are
    not  denominated  in US dollars are recognized  currently  in
    income.  The  gains  are  due to large  fluctuations  in  the
    Chilean Peso.

    Fair value of financial instruments
    ___________________________________

    The  carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents,  accounts
    receivable,    accounts   payable,   and   short-term    debt
    approximate  fair  value  because  of  the  relatively  short
    maturity  of  these  instruments.   Management  believes  the
    carrying  amount  of long-term debt approximates  fair  value
    because of similar current rates at which Igene could  borrow
    funds with consistent remaining maturities.

    Accounting for stock based compensation
    _______________________________________

    Prior  to  January  1, 2006, the Company  accounted  for  its
    stock  based  compensation plans under  the  recognition  and
    measurement  principles of APB opinion  No.  25,  "Accounting
    for  Stock Issued to Employees", and related interpretations.
    No   stock  option  based  employee  compensation   cost   is
    reflected  in  net income, as all options granted  under  the
    plan  had an exercise price equal to the market value of  the
    underlying common stock on the date of grant.  The  following
    table  illustrates the effect on net income and earnings  per
    share  if  the Company had applied the fair value recognition
    provisions  of  SFAS No. 123,   "Accounting  for  Stock-Based
    Compensation"  and disclosure provisions  of  SFAS  No.  148,
    "Accounting   for  Stock-Based  Compensation-Transition   and
    Disclosure",  to  stock-based employee compensation  for  the
    year ended December 31, 2005:

    New accounting pronouncements
    _____________________________

    In  May  2005,  the  FASB issued SFAS  No.  154,  "Accounting
    Changes  and  Error Corrections"("SFAS 154"), which  replaces
    APB  Opinion  No.  20 Accounting Changes  and   SFAS  No.  3,
    "Reporting   Accounting   Changes   in   Interim    Financial
    Statements-An  Amendment of APB Opinion No.  28."   SFAS  154
    requires   retrospective  application   to   prior   periods'
    financial  statement  of  a voluntary  change  in  accounting
    principal  unless it is not practical.  SFAS 154 is effective
    for  accounting  changes and corrections of  errors  made  in
    fiscal  years  beginning  after December  15,  2005,  and  is
    required  to  be adopted by the Company in the first  quarter
    of  fiscal  2007.   Although  the  Company  will  continually
    evaluate   its  accounting  policies,  management  does   not
    currently  believe  adoption will have a material  impact  on
    the  Company's results of operations, cash flows or financial
    position.

    In  September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards  Board
    issued  Statement  of Financial Accounting  Standards  Number
    157  -  Fair Value Measurements ("SFAS157"). SFAS 157 defines
    fair  value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value
    in  generally  accepted accounting principles  ("GAAP"),  and
    expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

    Prior  to SFAS 157, there were different definitions of  fair
    value and limited guidance for applying those definitions  in
    GAAP.  Moreover, that guidance was dispersed among  the  many
    accounting    pronouncements   that   require   fair    value
    measurements. SFAS 157 clarifies that the exchange  price  is
    the   price   in   an  orderly  transaction  between   market
    participants  to sell the asset or transfer the liability  in
    the  market in which the reporting entity would transact  for
    the  asset  or  liability, that is,  the  principal  or  most
    advantageous market for the asset or liability.

    SFAS  157  is effective for financial statements  issued  for
    fiscal  years beginning after November 15, 2007, and  interim
    periods  within those fiscal years. The Company is  currently
    evaluating  the impact, if any, that SFAS 157  will  have  on
    its  financial  position,  results  of  operations  and  cash
    flows.

    In  June  2006,  the  Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board
    ("FASB")   issued   Financial  Accounting   Standards   Board
    Interpretation  ("FIN") No. 48, "Accounting  for  Uncertainty
    in   Income   Taxes-an  interpretation  of   FASB   Statement
    No.  109." FIN No. 48 provides a comprehensive model for  the
    recognition,  measurement  and disclosure  in  the  financial
    statements  of uncertain tax positions taken or  expected  to
    be  taken on a tax return. The Company will adopt FIN No.  48
    effective  beginning  on  January 1,  2007.  The  Company  is
    currently evaluating the impact this interpretation may  have
    on  its  future  financial position, results  of  operations,
    earnings per share, or cash flows.

    In  September  2006,  the Securities and Exchange  Commission
    issued  SAB  No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior  Year
    Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current  Year
    Financial  Statements." SAB No. 108  was  issued  to  address
    diversity  in  practice  in quantifying  financial  statement
    misstatements. Current practice allows for the evaluation  of
    materiality  on the basis of either (1) the error  quantified
    as  the amount by which the current year income statement was
    misstated  ("rollover  method") or (2) the  cumulative  error
    quantified  as  the  cumulative amount by which  the  current
    year  balance  sheet was misstated ("iron  curtain  method").
    The guidance provided in SAB 108 requires both methods to  be
    used   in  evaluating  materiality  ("dual  approach").   SAB
    No.  108  permits companies to initially apply its provisions
    either by (1) restating prior financial statements as if  the
    dual  approach  had  always been used or  (2)  recording  the
    cumulative  effect of initially applying the "dual  approach"
    as   adjustments  to  the  carrying  values  of  assets   and
    liabilities  as  of  January  1,  2006  with  an   offsetting
    adjustment  recorded  to  the  opening  balance  of  retained
    earnings.  There  were  no matters warranting  the  Company's
    consideration  under  the provisions  of  SAB  No.  108  and,
    therefore,  it  did  not  have an  impact  on  the  Company's
    financial  position,  results  of  operations,  earnings  per
    share or cash flows.

(2) Non-cash investing and financing activities:
    ___________________________________________

    During  2006,  7,375  shares of redeemable  preferred  stock,
    with  a  recorded aggregate value of $141,600, were converted
    into  14,750  shares of common stock.  This included  the  8%
    Cumulative  Convertible Preferred Stock,  Series  B  and  has
    relieved the Company of this amount of long-term debt.

    During   the  course  of  2006  and  2005,  Fermic,   Igene's
    manufacturing  agent,  earned 545,569 and  4,724,416  shares,
    respectively,  of  common stock as part of the  manufacturing
    agreement.   Fermic earned 2,250 shares of common  stock  for
    each  kilogram  pure astaxanthin produced  and  delivered  as
    part  of  the  agreement. The average price is based  on  the
    market  value  of  the  shares at the time  the  product  was
    produced.   Fermic has earned all 20,000,000 shares available
    under  the  contract.  The 545,569 shares were earned  at  an
    average  price  of  $.056 per share for 2006,  and  4,724,416
    shares  were  earned at an average price of $.068  per  share
    for 2005.

    During  2006, 312,000 shares of common stock were  issued  as
    part   of  employee  stock  option  exercises.   The  Company
    received $10,300 based on an average exercise price of  $.033
    per share.

    During  2006, 7,884 warrants were exercised for $788.   7,884
    new  shares  of  common  stock were issued  pursuant  to  the
    exercise.

    During 2006, 1,000,000 shares of common stock were issued  to
    the  Joint  Venture's new Vice President of Manufacturing  as
    part  of  his agreement in accepting the position.  The  cost
    was expensed at a cost of $.05 per share or $50,000.

    During 2006 and 2005, Igene recorded dividends in arrears  on
    its  8%  Redeemable Preferred Stock, Series  A  at  $.64  per
    share  aggregating $8,306 and $11,846 respectively,  on  such
    preferred  stock which has been removed from paid-in  capital
    and   included  in  the  carrying  value  of  the  redeemable
    preferred stock. (see also note 9).

(3) Concentration of Credit Risk
    ____________________________

    The Joint Venture is potentially subject to the effects of  a
    concentration   of   credit  risk  in  accounts   receivable.
    Accounts  receivable is substantially composed of receivables
    from  customers  in Chile, which is an important  market  for
    Igene's  product, AstaXin(R).  Chile has  from  time  to time
    experienced   political  unrest  and  currency   instability.
    Because  of  the volume of business transacted by  the  Joint
    Venture  in  Chile, recurrence of such unrest or  instability
    could  adversely  affect the businesses of its  customers  in
    Chile   or  the  Joint  Venture's  ability  to  collect   its
    receivables  from  these customers.   In  order  to  minimize
    risk,  the Joint Venture strictly evaluates the companies  to
    which it extends credit and all prices are denominated in  US
    dollars so as to minimize currency fluctuation risk.   Losses
    due  to  credit risks in accounts receivable are expected  to
    be immaterial.

(5) Investment in Joint Venture
    ___________________________

    On  March  18 2003, the Company entered into a Joint  Venture
    Agreement  with  Tate  &  Lyle  Fermentation  Products   Ltd.
    ("Tate").   Pursuant  to  a  Joint  Venture  Agreement,   the
    Company  and Tate agreed to form a joint venture (the  "Joint
    Venture")  to  manufacture, market and sell  Astaxanthin  and
    derivative  products throughout the world for all uses  other
    than  as  a  nutraceutical  or  otherwise  for  direct  human
    consumption.   Tate contributed $24,600,000 in  cash  to  the
    Joint  Venture, while the Company transferred  to  the  Joint
    Venture   its  technology  relating  to  the  production   of
    astaxanthin   and  assets  related  thereto.   These   assets
    continue  to be used by the Joint Venture in the same  manner
    as  historically used by the Company.  The Company  and  Tate
    each  have a 50% ownership interest in the Joint Venture  and
    equal  representation on the Board of Directors of the  Joint
    Venture.   The  value of the Company's initial investment  in
    the  Joint  Venture has been recorded at an amount  equal  to
    Igene's  historical book value.  As the cost of the Company's
    technology  and  intellectual property  has  been  previously
    expensed  and  has a carrying amount of zero, the  investment
    in  the  Joint Venture was originally recorded  with  a  book
    value   of   $316,869,  which  represents   the   unamortized
    production  costs  contributed to  the  Joint  Venture.   The
    Company  also contributed $6,000 to the capital of the  Joint
    Venture.

    Production  utilizes Tate's fermentation capability  together
    with  the  unique  technology developed  by  Igene.  Part  of
    Tate's  existing  Selby, England, citric  acid  facility  was
    modified  to  produce  up to 1,500 tons  per  annum  of  this
    astaxanthin.  Tate's investment of approximately $25  million
    includes  certain of its facility assets previously  used  in
    citric  acid  production.  Sales and cost of  sales  activity
    are   now   recorded  as  part  of  the   earnings   of   the
    unconsolidated venture.

    As  a result of the Joint Venture, the production, sales  and
    marketing   of   astaxanthin   now   take   place   in    the
    unconsolidated Joint Venture.  From inception  on  March  18,
    2003  through December 31, 2006, the Joint Venture's  results
    of  operations  included the following:   Gross  profit  from
    inception   was   a   negative  $15,165,979   on   sales   of
    $27,772,879,   less   manufacturing  cost   of   $42,938,858.
    Selling   and   general  and  administrative  expenses   were
    $13,090,287,  and  interest  expense  was  $3,588,534.    The
    resulting loss was $31,844,800.  Igene's 50% portion  of  the
    Joint Venture loss was $15,922,400.

    Because the Company accounts for its investment in the  Joint
    Venture  under  the  equity method of  accounting,  it  would
    ordinarily  recognize  a  loss representing  its  50%  equity
    interest in the loss of the Joint Venture or the amount  that
    is  guaranteed  by the Company, if any.  However,  losses  in
    the  Joint Venture are recognized only to the extent  of  the
    investment in and advances to the Joint Venture.   Losses  in
    excess  of this amount are suspended from recognition in  the
    financial  statements  and  are  carried  forward  to  offset
    Igene's share of the Joint Venture's future income, if any.

    On  June  15, 2005, the Company executed a limited  guarantee
    for  one of the debt obligations of the Joint Venture.  Under
    the   terms  of  the  limited  guarantee,  the  Company  will
    guarantee   up   to   4,200,000   British   Pounds   sterling
    (approximately  $8,237,000  at  February  28,   2007).    The
    Company  subsequently entered into an agreement with  Tate  &
    Lyle  (the other 50% partner in the Joint Venture) where Tate
    &  Lyle  has  agreed to arrange funds for the Joint  Venture,
    without  recourse  to Igene Biotechnology,  Inc.,  until  the
    Joint  Venture  produces  a regular  monthly  cash  flow,  as
    defined, for four consecutive months.  The Joint Venture  has
    not  met  the  cash  flow   requirements.   The  Company  has
    subsequently received a full release from the guarantee.

           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
             Years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005

    At  December  31,  2006,  prior to  the  recognition  of  its
    portion of the Joint Venture loss, Igene's investment in  the
    Joint  Venture consisted of $322,869 and its net advances  to
    the  Joint  Venture amounted to $1,169,112, for  a  total  of
    $1,491,981.   For  the year ended December  31,  2005,  Igene
    recognized $374,527 of its share of a $5,931,049 loss.    For
    the year ended December 31, 2006, Igene recognized losses  to
    the  extent  of  the increase in advances of  $109,147.   The
    remainder of approximately 5 million, is suspended  and  will
    be  carried forward to offset Igene's share of earnings  from
    the  Joint  Venture, if any.  The balance in the advances  to
    and  investment  in Joint Venture account  on  the  Company's
    financial statements is zero at December 31, 2006.

    The  following  schedules display certain account balances of
    the  Joint Venture as of December 31, 2006 and for the period

     As a result of the Joint Venture, the production, sales  and
     marketing   of   Astaxanthin   now   take   place   in   the
     unconsolidated Joint Venture.  For the years ended 2006  and
     2005,  Igene's  portion  of  the  Joint  Venture  loss   was
     $5,103,852 and $5,931,049, respectively.

     On  March  29,  2007  the  Company was informed by their 50%
     partner  in  the  Joint  Venture,  Tate  and Lyle, that they
     determined  to write down their portion of the investment in
     the Joint Venture.   There  has  been  no  impairment charge
     reflected  by  the  Joint  Venture  as of December 31, 2006.
     During  the  first  quarter  of 2007, the Joint Venture will
     make  its  annual  impairment  assessment  and any necessary
     write-downs will be recorded at that time.

(6)  Convertible Debentures
     ______________________

     On  July  17,  2002,  Igene  issued  and  sold  $300,000  in
     aggregate principal amount of 8% convertible debentures, 50%
     each  to  certain directors of Igene.  These debentures  are
     convertible into shares of Igene's common stock at $.03  per
     share  based  on the market price of Igene's shares  at  the
     time the debentures were agreed to.  In consideration of the
     commitment  to purchase the 8% convertible debenture,  these
     directors also received an aggregate of 10,000,000  warrants
     to   purchase  common  stock  at  $.03  per  share.    These
     debentures, if not converted earlier, become due on July 17,
     2012.

     On  February  22, 2002, Igene issued and sold $1,000,000  in
     aggregate principal amount of 8% convertible debentures, 50%
     each  to  certain directors of Igene.  These debentures  are
     convertible into shares of Igene's common stock at $.04  per
     share  based  on the market price of Igene's shares  at  the
     time the debentures were agreed to.  In consideration of the
     commitment  to purchase the 8% convertible debenture,  these
     directors also received an aggregate of 25,000,000  warrants
     to   purchase  common  stock  at  $.04  per  share.    These
     debentures, if not converted earlier, become due on February
     22, 2012.

     In  March  2001,  Igene issued $1,014,211  of  8%,  10-year,
     convertible  debentures to certain  directors  of  Igene  in
     exchange  for  the cancellation of $800,000 of demand  notes
     payable (including accrued interest of $14,212) and $200,000
     in  cash. $600,000 of these demand notes were issued  during
     2000   and   $200,000   were  issued  subsequently.    These
     debentures are convertible into 10,142,110 shares of Igene's
     common  stock  at  $.08  per share.   These  directors  also
     received  10,142,110 warrants to purchase  common  stock  at
     $.08 per share.  Interest is payable at maturity.

     In  March 2001, certain directors of Igene also committed to
     provide  additional  funding in the  form  of  8%,  10-year,
     convertible  debentures  in the amount  of  $1,500,000.   In
     consideration  of  this  commitment,  these  directors  also
     received  18,750,000 warrants to purchase  common  stock  at
     $.08  per  share.   These debentures  are  convertible  into
     18,750,000 shares of Igene's common stock at $.08 per share.
     Interest is payable at maturity.

     In  December  2001, Igene issued $1,000,000  of  6%,  3-year
     convertible  debentures in connection with the  purchase  of
     ProBio,  now  known  as Igene Norway AS.  These  convertible
     debentures  are convertible into the Company's  stock  at  a
     price  of  $.10  per  share,  10,000,000  shares  in  total.
     Accrued  interest on this note is due every six  months.  Of
     these  $295,000 have been converted to common stock.   These
     notes have been repaid in full as of February 23, 2007  (see
     note 17).

(7)  Notes Payable
     _____________

     This  long  term  debt, approximately $5,800,000  which  was
     scheduled to become payable in March 2003, had been extended
     to be due March 2006.  It has been extended a second time to
     be  due March 2009.  Management felt any attempts to satisfy
     the debt on it's original due date would have had materially
     adverse effects on the Company.

     As  a  part of the terms of the first extension of the debt,
     the  exercise  prices  of the warrants  and  any  conversion
     features were discounted by 25%, thus a  $.10 warrant is now
     convertible  at $.075 cents.  As part of the  terms  of  the
     second  extension of the debt, the exercise  prices  of  the
     warrants  and any conversion features were discounted  again
     by  25%,  thus a  $.075 warrant is now convertible at  $.056
     cents.

     Beginning  November 16, 1995 and continuing through  May  8,
     1997, Igene issued promissory notes to certain directors for
     aggregate consideration of $1,082,500.  These notes  specify
     that at any time prior to repayment the holder has the right
     to  convert  the  notes to common stock of Igene  at  prices
     ranging  from $0.05 per share to $0.135 per share, based  on
     the  market  price of common shares at the respective  issue
     dates.   The notes were convertible in total into 13,174,478
     shares of common stock.  As a result of the extensions  they
     are  now convertible into 23,421,273 shares of common stock.
     Concurrently,  with  each  of the $1,082,500  of  promissory
     notes, the holders also received 13,174,478 warrants for  an
     equivalent  number  of  shares at the equivalent  price  per
     share. The warrants expire ten years from the date of  issue
     of  the  notes.  As a result of the extension  of  debt  the
     warrant  exercise prices were reduced by 25%.   These  notes
     were  modified in conjunction with the 1998 rights  offering
     to  be  due  on  March 31, 2003, and have been  extended  to
     March  31,  2009 as part of the extension.  The  notes  bear
     interest at the prime rate.

     As  part of the rights offering in March 1998, Igene  issued
     $5,000,000 of its 8% Notes due March 31, 2003 and 50,000,000
     warrants  to  purchase  one share  of  common  stock  at  an
     exercise  price of $0.10 per share expiring March 31,  2008.
     The  maturity date of these notes had been extended to March
     31, 2006, and the exercise price reduced to $.075 per share.
     The maturity date of these notes have again been extended to
     March 31, 2009, and the exercise price reduced to $.056  per
     share.

(8)  Redeemable Preferred Stock
     __________________________

     Each share of redeemable preferred stock is entitled to vote
     on  all matters requiring shareholder approval as one  class
     together  with  holders  of common  stock.   Each  share  of
     redeemable preferred stock is entitled to two votes and each
     share of common stock is entitled to one vote.

     Redeemable preferred stock is convertible at the  option  of
     the  holder  at  any time, unless previously redeemed,  into
     shares of Igene's common stock at the rate of two shares  of
     common  stock for each share of preferred stock  (equivalent
     to a conversion price of $4.00 per common share), subject to
     adjustment under certain conditions.

     Shares of redeemable preferred stock are redeemable for cash
     in  whole or in part at the option of Igene at any  time  at
     the  stated value plus accrued and unpaid dividends  to  the
     redemption  date.   Dividends  are  cumulative  and  payable
     quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, since
     January 1, 1988.

     Mandatory redemption of Series A preferred stock was  to  be
     made  in  October 2002.  As Igene is operating at a negative
     cash flow and negative earnings, Maryland law does not allow
     for  the  redemption of these shares.   As  such  they  will
     remain  outstanding and continue to accrue  dividends  until
     such  time as Igene is able to undertake redemption,  though
     there can be no assurance this will develop.  Igene does not
     expect  to  be  able to redeem the Series A preferred  stock
     unless,  after  giving  effect to such  redemption  (a)  the
     Company  would be able to pay its indebtedness in the  usual
     course of business and (b) the Company's total assets  would
     be  greater than the sum of its total liabilities  plus  the
     amount  that  would  be needed if the  Company  were  to  be

     dissolved as of the time of the distribution, to satisfy the
     preferential  rights upon dissolution of stockholders  whose
     preferential  rights on dissolution are  superior  to  those
     receiving the distribution.

     In  December 1988, as part of an overall effort  to  contain
     costs  and conserve working capital, Igene suspended payment
     of   the   quarterly   dividend  on  its  preferred   stock.
     Resumption   of   the  dividend  will  require   significant
     improvements  in cash flow.  Unpaid dividends  cumulate  for
     future payment or addition to the liquidation preference  or
     redemption value of the preferred stock.  As of December 31,
     2006,  total dividends in arrears on Igene's preferred stock
     equal $130,045 (or $11.68 per share) on Igene's Series A and
     are  included  in  the  carrying  value  of  the  redeemable
     preferred stock.

     In  June  of 2001, the stockholders approved the 2001  Stock
     Option Plan (the "2001 Plan"), which succeeds the 1997 Stock
     Option Plan (the "1997 Plan"), which succeeded Igene's  1986
     Stock  Option  Plan  (the  "1986 Plan"),  as  amended.   All
     outstanding, unexercised options granted under the 1997  and
     1986  Plans  remain outstanding with unchanged  terms.   The
     number of shares authorized for issuance under the 2001 Plan
     is 55,000,000.  This is in addition to the 20,000,000 shares
     authorized  for  issuance  under  the  1997  Plan,  and  the

     Common Stock
     ____________

     At  December 31, 2006, 205,261,073 shares of authorized  but
     unissued  common  stock  were  reserved  for  issuance  upon
     exercise  of  outstanding  warrants,  44,845,000  shares  of
     authorized  but  unissued  common stock  were  reserved  for
     exercise  pursuant to the 1997 and 2001 Stock Option  Plans,
     22,268  shares of authorized but unissued common stock  were
     reserved for issuance upon conversion of Igene's outstanding
     preferred  stock,  and 96,898,924 shares of  authorized  but
     unissued stock were reserved for issuance upon conversion of
     outstanding convertible notes.

     Preferred Stock
     _______________

     As  of  December  31, 2006, total dividends  in  arrears  on
     Igene's preferred stock equal $130,045 (or $11.68 per share)
     on  Igene's Series A preferred stock and are included in the
     carrying value of the Series A preferred stock.

(10) Net Loss Per Common Share
     _________________________

     Net  loss  per common share for 2006 and 2005  is  based  on
     108,387,454   and   103,384,377  weighted  average   shares,
     respectively.  For purposes of computing net loss per common
     share,  the  amount  of  net  loss  has  been  increased  by
     dividends  declared and cumulative undeclared  dividends  in
     arrears on preferred stock.

           Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
             Years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005


     Common  stock  equivalents,  including:  options,  warrants,
     convertible   debt,   convertible   preferred   stock,   and
     exercisable rights have not been included in the computation
     of  earnings  per share in 2006 and 2005 because  to  do  so
     would  have been anti-dilutive.  However, these common stock
     equivalents could have potentially dilutive effects  in  the
     future.

(11) Commitments
     ___________

     Igene is obligated for office and laboratory facilities  and
     other rentals under operating lease agreements, which expire
     in  2011. The base annual rentals are approximately $98,000,
     increasing  to $106,000 by the end of the lease  term,  plus
     the  Company's  share of taxes, insurance and  other  costs.
     Annual  rent  expense relating to the leases for  the  years
     ended  December 31, 2006 and 2005 approximated $118,600  and
     $113,400, respectively.

     Future  minimum  rental payments, in the aggregate  and  for
     each of the next five years are as follows:

</TABLE>

     Effective   May   20,  2000,  Igene  signed   an   exclusive
     manufacturing   agreement  with   Fermic,   S.A.   de   C.V.
     ("Fermic"),  of Mexico City, Mexico, for the  production  of
     AstaXin(R).   The  Fermic   contract   provides   that   the
     manufacturer  has  a  limited  exclusive  right  to  produce
     AstaXin(R) and is paid a monthly fee in cash, which is based
     on manufacturing capacity, plus shares of Igene common stock
     based  on  production quantities.  Fermic provides equipment
     and  facilities  necessary  to  manufacture  and  store  the
     product  and  is  responsible for purchasing raw  materials.
     The  Joint Venture is responsible for sales efforts and  for
     ensuring the quality of the pigment.  The Joint Venture also
     has  a role in ensuring that the manufacturing process works
     effectively.  The term of the contract has expired

     Based  on  production of AstaXin(R), Igene had  committed to
     issue  to  Fermic  up to a maximum of 20,000,000  shares  of
     Igene  common stock during the six year period which expired
     May 20, 2006 in accordance with the manufacturing agreement.
     Based on  quantities of AstaXin(R) produced, all shares have
     been  earned  and issued to Fermic.  Since the inception  of
     the  agreement  stock has been recorded as  a  manufacturing
     expense  and  also  as  an  increase  in  common  stock  and
     additional  paid in capital of $1,356,520.  The  expense  is
     now  recorded  on  the books of the Joint Venture  with  the
     related  receivable from the Joint Venture on the  books  of
     Igene.   This  amount has been computed based  on  the  fair
     value of the stock as of the period in which the shares were
     earned.

(12) Income Taxes
     ____________

     No  income tax benefit or deferred tax asset is reflected in
     the   financial   statements.   Deferred  tax   assets   are
     recognized  for  future deductible temporary difference  and
     tax loss carry forwards if their realization is "more likely
     than not".

     At  December  31,  2006  Igene has  federal  and  state  net
     operating loss carry-forwards of approximately   $22,400,000
     that  expire at various dates from 2006 through  2026.   The
     recorded  deferred  tax  asset,  representing  the  expected
     benefit  from  the future realization of the  net  operating
     losses, net of the valuation allowance,  was   $-0- for 2006
     and 2005.

</TABLE>


(13) Uncertainty
     ___________

     Igene has incurred net losses in each year of its existence,
     aggregating  approximately  $43,100,000  from  inception  to
     December 31, 2006 and its liabilities exceeded its assets by
     approximately  $16,400,000  at  that  date.   These  factors
     indicate  that  Igene  will  not  be  able  to  continue  in
     existence unless it is able to raise additional capital  and
     attain profitable operations.

     Igene  believes  that should the Joint Venture  be  able  to
     efficiently   and   profitably  manufacture   product,   and
     eventually   gross  profits,  and  subsequently   profitable
     operation, can be achieved.

(14) Nature of Risks and Concentrations
     __________________________________

     Revenue  of  the  Joint Venture during 2006  and  2005  were
     derived from sales of the product, AstaXin(R).  The majority
     of  the  Joint  Venture's 2006 and 2005 sales were  to  fish
     producers in the aquaculture industry in Chile.

     The preceding concentrations subject Igene to certain risks.
     For  example, it is considered at least reasonably  possible
     that any particular customer, distributor, product line,  or
     provider of services or facilities could be lost in the near
     term.   It  is also considered at least reasonably  possible
     that  operations located outside the United States could  be
     disrupted  in the near term.  However, Igene has at  present
     no  information that would lead it to believe that  it  will
     lose  its  principal product, principal  customers,  or  its
     contracted  manufacturer; or that its operations  in  Mexico
     City or Chile will be disrupted, though this belief can  not
     be assured.

(15) Retirement Plan
     _______________

     Effective February 1, 1997 Igene adopted a Simple Retirement
     Plan  under Internal Revenue Code Section 408(p).  The  plan
     was  a  defined  contribution plan,  which  covered  all  of
     Igene's  U.S.  employees  who receive  at  least  $5,000  of
     compensation  for  the  preceding year.   The  plan  permits
     elective employee contributions.  Effective January 1, 2003,
     Igene  made an elective contribution of 3% of each  eligible
     employee's    compensation   for   each    year.     Igene's
     contributions to the plan for 2003 were $17,631.

     Effective  February 1, 2004 Igene discontinued  use  of  the
     Simple   Retirement   Plan  and  began   use   of   a   401K
     savings/retirement  plan, or 401(k) Plan.  The  401(k)  Plan
     permits our eligible employees to defer annual compensation,
     subject to limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code.
     All  employees that have been employed for three months  are
     eligible   for   the   plan.   The  plan  permits   elective
     contributions  by  the  Company's eligible  employees  based
     under  the  Internal  Revenue Code,  which  are  immediately
     vested  and non-forfeitable upon contribution to the  401(k)
     Plan.   Effective  January 1, 2004, Igene made  an  elective
     contribution, subject to limitations, of 4% of each eligible
     employee's    compensation   for   each    year.     Igene's
     contributions to the plan for 2006 and 2005 were $25,996 and
     $23,052,  respectively,  which  is  expensed  in  the   2006
     statement of operations.

(16) Loss on Disposal
     ________________

     During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2005,  Igene   sold
     equipment and wrote-off a receivable from the prior sale  of
     equipment.   The  resulting  loss  of  $106,150   has   been
     reflected  as  a  loss on disposal on the accompanying  2005
     statement of operations.

(17) Subsequent event
     ________________

     As  previously stated in the Registrant's third quarter Form
     10-QSB, on November 30, 2001, Igene entered Into Convertible
     Promissory Notes (the "Convertible Notes") with each of  the
     following note holders for the following respective  amounts
     (a) NorInnova AS (formerly Forskningsparken I Tromso AS) for
     $106,500;  (b)  Knut  Gjernes for  $7,500;  (c)  Magne  Russ
     Simenson  for $378,000; and (d) Nord Invest AS for $313,000.
     Each  of  the  Convertible Notes  had  a  maturity  date  of
     November  1,  2004.   On  November 18,  2005,  each  of  the
     Convertible Note Holders provided Igene with written  notice
     of default under each of the Convertible Notes.

     On  November 29, 2006, the Convertible Note holders filed  a
     complaint against the Company in the Circuit Court of Howard
     County,  Maryland seeking payment of all outstanding amounts
     due under the Convertible Notes.   On February 23, 2007, the
     Company,  paid $762,638 to the Convertible Note  holders  as
     settlement  of all claims related to the Convertible  Notes.
     The complaint was dismissed with prejudice on March 6, 2007.

     In  an  attempt to settle the matter, the Note holders  were
     offered  the  ability to extend the notes they  held  for  a
     period  of  ten  years  at  an interest  rate  of  5%.   The
     conversion would be changed from the original debenture rate
     of  $.10 (ten cents) per share to the current market rate of
     $.02 (two cents) per share.  They rejected the offer.

     The  funds to settle the litigation were provided by Igene's
     directors  using  the terms offered above to  the  debenture
     holders.   On  February  15, 2007,  Igene  issued  and  sold
     $762,000  in  aggregate principal amount of  5%  convertible
     debentures,  50% each to certain directors of Igene.   These
     debentures  are  convertible into shares of  Igene's  common
     stock  at  $.02  per share based on the offer  made  to  the
     original  debenture holders as the market price  of  Igene's
     shares  at  the time the debentures were agreed  to.   These
     debentures, if not converted earlier, become due on February
     15, 2007.
