The Board of Directors held at least one in-person meeting during the year ended May 31, 2016 for each committee, acted by unanimous written consent four times, and held several review and update meetings with and without management and with and without Auditors. All directors attended 75% or more of the aggregate of all meetings of the Board of Directors and the committees, if any, upon which the directors served during the year ended May 31, 2016.

6

NOMINATING AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

         The Company has a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter which may be viewed on the Company’s website at www.biomerica.com.

        The Company has a standing Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Committee”).  Dr. Francis Cano and Allen Barbieri serve on this Committee.  They regularly assess the appropriate size of the Board of Directors and whether any vacancies on the Board of Directors are expected due to retirement or otherwise. In the event that vacancies are anticipated or otherwise arise, the Committee utilizes a variety of methods for identifying and evaluating director candidates. Candidates may come to the attention of the Committee through current directors, professional search firms, stockholders or other persons.

         Once the Committee has identified a prospective nominee, the Committee will evaluate the prospective nominee in the context of the then current composition of the Board of Directors and will consider a variety of other factors, including the prospective nominee's business, technology and industry, finance and financial reporting experience, and other attributes that would be expected to contribute to an effective Board of Directors. The Board seeks to identify nominees who possess a diverse range of experience, skills, areas of expertise, industry knowledge and business judgment. Successful nominees should have a history of superior performance or accomplishments in their professional undertakings and should have the highest personal and professional ethics and values. The Board does not evaluate stockholder nominees differently than any other nominee.

         Our Board will consider stockholder nominations for directors if we receive timely written notice, in proper form, of the intent to make a nomination at a meeting of stockholders. To be timely, the notice must be received within the time frame discussed below in this Proxy Statement under the heading "Date of Submission of Stockholder Proposals." To be in proper form, the notice must, among other matters, include each nominee's written consent to serve as a director for the next annual meeting if elected, a description of all arrangements or understandings between the nominating stockholder and each nominee and information about the nominating stockholder and each nominee.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

         The Compensation Committee is responsible for assisting the Board of Directors in discharging its responsibilities regarding the compensation of our employees and directors. The specific duties of the Compensation Committee include, among other matters: reviewing and approving executive compensation; evaluating our executive officers' performance; setting the compensation levels of our executive officers; setting our incentive compensation plans, including our equity-based incentive plans; and making recommendations to our Board of Directors regarding our overall compensation structure, policies and programs.  During fiscal 2016, the Compensation Committee was comprised of Mr. Allen Barbieri and Dr. Francis Cano. Several Compensation Committee meetings were held without management, and one Compensation Committee meeting was held with management during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

         The Company has an Audit Committee Charter which may be viewed on the Company’s website at www.biomerica.com.

         The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes and the audits of our financial statements. In addition, the Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The specific duties of the Audit Committee include, among others: monitoring the integrity of our financial process and systems of internal controls regarding finance, accounting and legal compliance; selecting our independent auditor; monitoring the independence and performance of our independent auditor; and providing an avenue of communication among the independent auditor, our management and our Board of Directors. The Audit Committee has the authority to conduct any investigation appropriate to fulfilling its responsibilities, and it has direct access to all of our employees and to the independent auditor. The Audit Committee also has the ability to retain, at the Company's expense and without further approval of the Board of Directors, special legal, accounting or other consultants or experts that it deems necessary in the performance of its duties.

7

         The Audit Committee met four times during fiscal 2016. The members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Barbieri, Dr. Cano and Dr. Emerson. The Board of Directors determined that Mr. Barbieri qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" and that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate.

DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

         The Board reviews the independence of each director when he/she is elected to the board and monitors such on a continual basis. The Board considers the transactions and relationships between each member and the Company in determining independence. The Board judges independence based on the definition of Director Independence as defined by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) Rule 4200(a)(15). Based upon that review, the Board affirmatively determined that Allen Barbieri, Dr. Cano, Dr. Sirgo and Dr. Emerson are considered "independent" with respect to FINRA'S definition of such.

BOARD LEADERSHIP STRUCTURE

The Board does not have a lead independent director and does not believe one is necessary. We believe our leadership structure is appropriate for the size and scope of operations of a company of our size. During the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, no director served as chairman of any committee except the Audit Committee which was chaired by Allen Barbieri.

RISK OVERSIGHT

The Board is responsible for oversight of risks facing the Company, while our management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risk.  The Board, as a whole, oversees our strategic and business risk, including financial reporting related risk and works with the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to assess and manage risks facing the Company.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The information in this Report of the Audit Committee is not deemed "soliciting material" or to be "filed" with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

         The Audit Committee oversees the Company's financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed the audited consolidated financial statements in the Annual Report with management including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.

         The Audit Committee reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited consolidated financial statements with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company's accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors' independence from management and the Company including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors' independence.

8

         The Audit Committee discussed with the Company's independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their audit. The Audit Committee meets with the independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their understanding of the Company's internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company's financial reporting.

         In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board has approved) that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended May 31, 2016 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee and the Board have also recommended the selection of the Company's independent auditors, PKF, Certified Public Accountants, a Professional Corporation.

The compensation of directors is subject to review and adjustment from time to time by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 16(a) - BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

         Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires the Company's executive officers, directors and persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the Company's stock, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners are required by applicable regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

         Based solely upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company and information involving securities transactions of which the Company is aware, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial stockholders were complied with.

11

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         The Board of Directors reviews, approves and/or ratifies all transactions involving related persons. The purpose of the review is to determine that such transactions are conducted on terms not materially less favorable to the Company than what would be usual and customary in transactions between unrelated persons and, in the case of transactions involving Directors, to determine whether such transactions affect the independence of a Director in accordance with the relevant rules and standards issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

          For the fiscal year ended May 31, 2016, there were no reportable related transactions or relationships.

PROPOSAL NO. 2    ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

         In accordance with Section 14a of the Exchange Act, the Company is providing stockholders with an advisory (non-binding) vote on compensation programs, that is commonly referred to as “say on pay”, for our executive officers as described in this proxy statement. Because your vote is advisory, it will not be binding on our Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors.

Accordingly, in accordance with the rules adopted by the SEC, the following resolution, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” vote, is being submitted for a stockholder vote at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers of Biomerica, Inc., as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the compensation tables and narrative discussion is hereby APPROVED.”

         This vote is non-binding.  The Board intends to consider the outcome of the vote when making future executive compensation decisions and, in particular, to consider any significant negative voting results to the extent they can determine the cause or causes for such votes.  The Board has determined that, until the next vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on executive compensation, the Company will hold future advisory votes on executive compensation every 3 years.

         Stockholders are encouraged to read the accompanying compensation tables and the related narrative disclosure for more information about the Company’s executive compensation program.

Vote Required

         The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of the Company’s common stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting will be required for the approval, on an advisory basis, of the Named Executive Officers’ compensation.

RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS COMPENSATION AS DISCLOSED IN THE ACCOMPANYING COMPENSATION TABLES AND THE RELATED NARRATIVE DISCLOSURE.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

         Under applicable law and the procedures adopted by the Company's Board of Directors, the Audit Committee of the Company's Board of Directors selects the Company's independent public accounting firm for each fiscal year. The Audit Committee has selected PKF, Certified Public Accountants, a Professional Corporation ("PKF") to serve as the Company's independent public accounting firm for the year ending May 31, 2017. PKF has previously served as the Company's independent public accounting firm commencing with the year ended May 31, 2004.

12

         Although shareholder ratification of the Audit Committee's selection of the independent registered public accounting firm is not required by law or the procedures adopted by the Company's Board of Directors, the Audit Committee's selection of PKF as the Company's independent public accounting firm for fiscal year 2017 is being submitted for ratification by the shareholders at the Annual Meeting because the Company's Board of Directors has determined that such ratification is a matter of good corporate governance practice. If this proposal is not approved at the Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee may reconsider its selection of PKF. Even if the selection of PKF is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may select a different registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

         It is expected that a representative of the independent registered public accounting firm of PKF, Certified Public Accountants, a Professional Corporation, the Company's independent public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2016 and 2015, and for the current fiscal year, will be present at the Annual Meeting.

AUDIT FEES

The aggregate fees billed for professional services by PKF in 2016 and 2015 were as follows:

         Audit Fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements, the reviews of the consolidated financial statements included in our Forms 10-Q and for any other services that are normally provided by PKF in connection with our statutory and regulatory filings or engagements.

         Audit Related Fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered for assurance and related services that were reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our consolidated financial statements that were not otherwise included in Audit Fees.

        Tax Fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for professional services rendered for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. Included in such Tax Fees were fees for preparation of our tax returns and consultancy and advice on other tax planning matters.

         All Other Fees consist of the aggregate fees billed for products and services provided by PKF and not otherwise included in Audit Fees, Audit Related fees or Tax Fees.

         The Audit Committee has considered that the provision of the above services has not impaired the principal accountant's ability to maintain independence.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE PROPOSAL TO RATIFY PKF AS THE COMPANY’S CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE CURRENT FISCAL YEAR.

13

DIRECTOR ATTENDANCE AT ANNUAL MEETINGS
