Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information set forth under Item 2.03 below is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

In order to address certain liquidity needs, on June 10, 2011, Diamedix Corporation (“Diamedix”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of IVAX Diagnostics, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with City National Bank of Florida (the “Lender”), which provides for a secured, revolving credit facility of up to $975,000 (the “Line of Credit”) under that certain Revolving Promissory Note (the “Note”), dated as of June 10, 2011 by Diamedix in favor of the Lender.  Amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit (a) will accrue interest at an annual rate equal to the 30-day LIBOR plus 4.00%, subject to an increase by two percentage points (2.00%) per annum for as long as Diamedix fails to satisfy certain deposit requirements enumerated in the Loan Agreement, and (b) will become due and payable on June 10, 2013, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of certain specified events of default that the Company believes are customary for transactions of this type.

Amounts outstanding under the Line of Credit will be secured by all of the assets of Diamedix, including, without limitation, the Company’s corporate headquarters located in Miami, Florida.  The security interests were granted pursuant to that certain Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”), dated as of June 10, 2011, by and between Diamedix and the Lender and that certain Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement (the “Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement”), made on June 10, 2011 from Diamedix in favor of the Lender.  In addition, the Company and its two other wholly-owned subsidiaries – ImmunoVision, Inc. and Delta Biologicals, S.r.l. – have guaranteed the repayment of amounts drawn on the Line of Credit pursuant to Guaranty Agreements (the “Guaranties”).

The descriptions of the Loan Agreement, Note, Security Agreement, Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement and Guaranties set forth under this Item 2.03 do not purport to be complete.  Such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to copies of the Loan Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1), the Note (the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2), the Security Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3), the Mortgage, Assignment of Rents and Security Agreement (attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4) and the Guaranties (the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5), as applicable, each of which is incorporated by reference herein.
