Part I
Item 1. Business.
Corporate History and Structure
We were incorporated in Delaware in September 1997 for the purpose of acquiring Generex Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Canadian corporation formed in November 1995 to engage in pharmaceutical and biotechnological research and development and other activities. Our acquisition of Generex Pharmaceuticals was completed in October 1997 in a transaction in which the holders of all outstanding shares of Generex Pharmaceuticals exchanged their shares for shares of our common stock.
In January 1998, we participated in a "reverse acquisition" with Green Mt. P. S., Inc., an inactive Idaho corporation formed in 1983. As a result of this transaction, our shareholders (the former shareholders of Generex Pharmaceuticals) acquired a majority (approximately 90%) of the outstanding capital stock of Green Mt., we became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Mt., Green Mt. changed its corporate name to Generex Biotechnology Corporation ("Generex Idaho"), and we changed our corporate name to GB Delaware, Inc. Because the reverse acquisition resulted in our shareholders becoming the majority holders of Generex Idaho, we were treated as the acquiring corporation in the transaction for accounting purposes. Thus, our historical financial statements, which essentially represented the historical financial statements of Generex Pharmaceuticals, were deemed to be the historical financial statements of Generex Idaho.
In April 1999, we completed a reorganization in which we merged with Generex Idaho. In this transaction, all outstanding shares of Generex Idaho were converted into our shares, Generex Idaho ceased to exist as a separate entity, and we changed our corporate name back to "Generex Biotechnology Corporation." This reorganization did not result in any material change in our historical financial statements or current financial reporting.
Subsidiaries
Following our reorganization in 1999, Generex Pharmaceuticals Inc., which is incorporated in Ontario, Canada, remained as our wholly-owned subsidiary. All of our Canadian operations are performed by Generex Pharmaceuticals.
In August 2003, we acquired Antigen Express, Inc. Antigen is engaged in the research and development of technologies and immunomedicines for the treatment of malignant, infectious, autoimmune and allergic diseases.
We formed Generex (Bermuda), Inc., which is organized in Bermuda, in January 2001 in connection with a joint venture with Elan International Services, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elan Corporation, plc, to pursue the application of certain of our and Elan's drug delivery technologies, including our platform technology for the buccal delivery of pharmaceutical products. In December 2004, we and Elan agreed to terminate the joint venture. Under the termination agreement, we retained all of our intellectual property rights and obtained full ownership of Generex (Bermuda). Generex (Bermuda) currently does not conduct any business activities.
We formed Generex Pharmaceuticals (USA) LLC, which is organized in North Carolina, USA, in February 2006 as a wholly-owned subsidiary. Generex Pharmaceuticals (USA) LLC has not yet commenced any business operations. We formed Generex Marketing & Distribution Inc., which is organized in Ontario, Canada, in September 2006. Generex Marketing & Distribution Inc. has not yet commenced any business operations.
Although not a separate legal entity, we have established a branch office in the exclusive Dubai Healthcare City operating as “Generex Biotechnology Corporation MENA” (Middle East and North Africa) to enable us to work closely with the regulatory and marketing personnel of Leosons General Trading Company, our licensee in the region.
Overview of Business
We are engaged primarily in the research, development and commercialization of drug delivery systems and technologies. Our primary focus at the present time is our proprietary technology for the administration of formulations of large molecule drugs to the oral (buccal) cavity using a hand-held aerosol applicator. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigen, we have expanded our focus to include immunomedicines incorporating proprietary vaccine formulations.
2
We believe that our buccal delivery technology is a platform technology that has application to many large molecule drugs and provides a convenient, non-invasive, accurate and cost-effective way to administer such drugs. We have identified several large molecule drugs as possible candidates for development, including estrogen, heparin, monoclonal antibodies, human growth hormone and fertility hormone, but to date have focused our development efforts primarily on one pharmaceutical product, Generex Oral-lyn™, an insulin formulation administered as a fine spray into the oral cavity using our proprietary hand-held aerosol spray applicator known as RapidMist™. To date, we have received regulatory approval in Ecuador and India for the commercial marketing and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™. In March 2008, we initiated Phase III clinical trials for this product in the U.S. with the first patient screening for such trials at a clinical study site in Texas. The patient screening at other participating clinical sites in the U.S. and Canada is ongoing. Currently over 200 patients have been enrolled in 74 clinical sites around the world, including sites in the United States, Canada, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Russia and Ukraine.
Using our buccal delivery technology, we also have launched a line of over-the-counter glucose and energy sprays , including Glucose RapidSpray™, GlucoBreak™, and BaBOOM!™ Energy Spray. We believe these products will complement Generex Oral-lyn™ and may provide us with an additional revenue stream prior to the commercialization of Generex Oral-lyn™.
Our subsidiary, Antigen, concentrates on developing proprietary vaccine formulations that work by stimulating the immune system to either attack offending agents (i.e., cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses) or to stop attacking benign elements (i.e., self proteins and allergens). Our immunomedicine products are based on two platform technologies and are in the early stages of development. We continue clinical development of Antigen’s synthetic peptide vaccines designed to stimulate a potent and specific immune response against tumors expressing the HER-2/neu oncogene for patients with HER-2/neu positive breast cancer in a Phase II clinical trial and patients with prostate cancer and against avian influenza in two Phase I trials. Development efforts also are underway for seasonal influenza virus, HIV, HPV, melanoma, ovarian cancer, allergy and Type I diabetes mellitus. We have established collaborations with clinical investigators at academic centers to advance these technologies.
We face competition from other providers of alternate forms of insulin. Some of our most significant competitors, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Novo Nordisk, recently announced that they will discontinue development and/or sale of their inhalable forms of insulin. Generex Oral-lyn™ is not an inhaled insulin; rather, it is a bucally absorbed formulation with no residual pulmonary deposition. We believe that our buccal delivery technology offers several advantages over inhaled insulin, including the avoidance of pulmonary inhalation, which requires frequent physician monitoring, ease of use and portability.
We are a development stage company although we have four products available for commercial sale. In fiscal 2008, we received modest revenues from sales of our commercially available products, our confectionary, Glucose RapidSpray™, a flavored glucose “energy” spray supplemented with vitamins, BaBOOM!™ Energy Spray, and a fat-free glucose spray to aid in dieting, GlucoBreak™. All three products are available in retails stores and independent pharmacies in the United States and Canada. In addition, the products are being distributed in the Middle East through our Generex MENA office in Dubai. We expect other distribution territories for these products to include South Africa, India, South America and other jurisdictions worldwide.
We operate in only one segment: the research, development and commercialization of drug delivery systems and technologies for metabolic and immunological diseases.
Our Business Strategy
Our goal is to develop and commercialize our buccal delivery technology to administer large molecule drugs, including insulin, and proprietary vaccine formulations based upon two Antigen platform technologies to provide innovative biopharmaceutical products that offer the potential for superior efficacy and safety over existing products. To achieve these goals, the key elements of our strategy include:
· | Conducting and completing Phase III clinical trials of Generex Oral-lyn™ in the United States and Canada, Europe and certain countries in Eastern Europe including Russia, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Romania; |
· | Commercializing Generex Oral-lyn™ in Ecuador and India, the two countries where we have obtained regulatory approval for its commercial marketing and sale, by undertaking additional commercial manufacturing runs of Oral-lyn™ at PharmaBrand, S.A.’s facilities in Quito, Ecuador later in calendar year 2008 and expanding such production facilities to meet the anticipated demand for the product in India and other jurisdictions where governmental approvals are pending and pursuing post-approval clinical studies and marketing efforts in India. |
3
· | Establishing strategic relationships worldwide for product development and distribution and working with our multinational licensed distributors in the Middle East and throughout Eastern Europe, Africa and Asia to obtain regulatory approval for the registration, importation, marketing, distribution and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ in those countries. |
· | Conducting and completing Phase II clinical trials of Antigen’s synthetic peptide vaccines designed to stimulate a potent and specific immune response against tumors expressing the HER-2/neu oncogene for patients with HER-2/neu positive breast cancer, a Phase I prostate cancer trial and a Phase I trial in patients with breast or ovarian cancer; and |
· | Conducting and completing a Phase I clinical trial of Antigen’s synthetic peptide vaccines against avian influenza. |
Buccal Delivery Technology and Products
Our buccal delivery technology involves the preparation of proprietary formulations in which an active pharmaceutical agent is placed in a solution with a combination of absorption enhancers and other excipients classified “generally recognized as safe” ("GRAS") by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") when used in accordance with specified quantities and other limitations. The resulting formulations are aerosolized with a pharmaceutical grade chemical propellant and are administered to patients using our proprietary RapidMist™ device. The device is a small, lightweight, hand-held, easy-to-use aerosol applicator comprised of a container for the formulation, a metered dose valve, an actuator and dust cap. Using the device, patients self-administer the formulations by spraying them into the mouth. The device contains multiple applications, the number being dependent, among other things, on the concentration of the formulation. Absorption of the pharmaceutical agent occurs in the buccal cavity, principally through the inner cheek walls. In clinical studies of our flagship oral insulin product Generex Oral-lyn™, insulin absorption in the buccal cavity has been shown to be very efficacious.
Buccal Insulin Product – Generex Oral-Lyn™
Insulin is a hormone that is naturally secreted by the pancreas to regulate the level of glucose, a type of sugar, in the bloodstream. The term “diabetes” refers to a group of disorders that are characterized by the inability of the body to properly regulate blood glucose levels. When glucose is abundant, it is converted into fat and stored for use when food is not available. When glucose is not available from food, these fats are broken down into free fatty acids that stimulate glucose production. Insulin acts by stimulating the use of glucose as fuel and by inhibiting the production of glucose. In a healthy individual, a balance is maintained between insulin secretion and glucose metabolism.
There are two major types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes (juvenile onset diabetes or insulin dependent diabetes) refers to the condition where the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5-10 percent of diabetes cases. It often occurs in children and young adults. Type 1 diabetics must take daily insulin injections, typically three to five times per day, to regulate blood glucose levels.
In Type 2 diabetes (adult onset or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus), the body does not produce enough insulin, or cannot properly use the insulin produced. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease and accounts for 90-95 percent of diabetes cases. In addition to insulin therapy, Type 2 diabetics may take oral drugs that stimulate the production of insulin by the pancreas or that help the body to more effectively use insulin.
Current studies in diabetes have identified a new condition closely related to diabetes, called impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). People with IGT do not usually meet the criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. They have normal fasting glucose levels but two hours after a meal their blood glucose level is far above normal.. With the increase use of glucose tolerance tests the number of people diagnosed with this pre-diabetic condition is expanding exponentially.
If not treated, diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney disease, nerve disease, amputations, heart disease and stroke. Each year, between 12,000 and 24,000 people suffer vision impairment or complete blindness because of diabetes. Diabetes is also the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (kidney failure), accounting for about 40 percent of new cases.
4
In addition, about 60-70 percent of people with diabetes have mild to severe forms of diabetic nerve damage, which, in severe forms, can lead to lower limb amputations. Diabetics are also two to four times more likely to have heart disease, which is present in 75 percent of diabetes-related deaths, and are two to four times more likely to suffer a stroke.
There is no known cure for diabetes. The World Health Organization estimates that there are currently over 180 million diabetics worldwide. It is further estimated that this number will almost double by the year 2030. There are estimated to be 18 million people suffering from diabetes in North America alone, not including approximately 5 million of whom are undiagnosed, and diabetes is the second largest cause of death by disease in North America.
A substantial number of large molecule drugs (i.e., drugs composed of molecules with a higher than specified molecular weight) have been approved for sale in the United States or are presently undergoing clinical trials as part of the process to obtain such approval, including various proteins, peptides, monoclonal antibodies, hormones and vaccines. Unlike small molecule drugs, which generally can be administered by various methods, large molecule drugs historically have been administered predominately by injection. The principal reasons for this have been the vulnerability of large molecule drugs to digestion and the relatively large size of the molecule itself, which makes absorption into the blood stream through the skin inefficient or ineffective.
We conducted the first clinical trials of our buccal insulin formulation with human subjects in Ecuador in January 1998. We ultimately conducted a total of approximately 13 studies in Ecuador and an additional 26 trials in other countries over the period from 1998 to 2007. The principal purpose of these studies was to evaluate the effectiveness of our oral insulin formulation in humans as well as to show safety and efficacy of our product compared with injected insulin and placebos. In March 2004, we entered into a Letter of Intent for the establishment of a joint venture with PharmaBrand S.A., a distributor of pharmaceutical products in Central and Latin America. In August 2004, we sought approval for the manufacturing, marketing, distribution and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ and the RapidMist™ Diabetes Management System from the Ecuadorian Ministry of Public Health. In May 2005, we received approval from the Ecuadorian Ministry of Public Health for the commercial marketing and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ for treatment of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. We have successfully completed of the delivery and installation of a turnkey Generex Oral-lyn™ filling operation at the facilities of PharmaBrand in Quito, Ecuador. The first commercial production run of Generex Oral-lyn™ in Ecuador was completed in May, 2006.
On the basis of the test results in Ecuador and other pre-clinical data, we made an Investigatory New Drug submission to the Health Protection Branch in Canada (Canada's equivalent to the FDA) in July 1998, and received permission from the Canadian regulators to proceed with clinical trials in September 1998. We filed an Investigational New Drug application with the FDA in October 1998, and received FDA approval to proceed with human trials in November 1998. Annual reports have been filed with the FDA each year since that time.
We began our clinical trial programs in Canada and the United States in January 1999. Between January 1999 and September 2000, we conducted clinical trials of our insulin formulation involving approximately 200 Type 1 and Type 2 diabetic patients and healthy volunteers. The study protocols in most trials involved administration of two different doses of our insulin formulation following either a liquid Sustacal meal or a standard meal challenge. The objective of these studies was to evaluate our insulin formulation's efficacy in controlling post-prandial (meal related) glucose levels. These trials demonstrated that our insulin formulation controlled post-prandial hyperglycemia in a manner comparable to injected insulin. In April 2003, a Phase II-B clinical trial protocol was approved in Canada. In September 2006, a Clinical Trial Application relating to our Generex Oral-lyn™ protocol for late-stage trials was approved by Health Canada. The FDA’s review period for the protocol lapsed without objection in July 2007.
In late March 2008, we initiated Phase III clinical trials in North America for Generex Oral-lyn™ with the first patient screening in Texas. Other clinical sites participating in the study are located in the United States (Texas, Maryland, Minnesota and California), Canada (Alberta), Europe and Eastern Europe, including Russia, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, and Poland. At present, over 200 patients have been enrolled in the program in 74 clinical sites around the world. The Phase III protocol calls for a six-month trial with a six-month follow-up and is expected to include 750 patients with Type-1 diabetes mellitus. The primary objective of the study is to compare the efficacy of Generex Oral-lyn™ and the RapidMist™ Diabetes Management System with that of standard regular injectable human insulin therapy as measured by HbA1c, in patients with Type-1 diabetes mellitus. We expect to use the data collected from these trials in the New Drug Submission that will be prepared concurrently with the progression of the late-stage trials for Health Canada, European Union (EMEA) and the FDA.
5
We have engaged a global clinical research organization to provide many study related site services, including initiation, communication with sites and documentation; a global central lab service company that will arrange for the logistics of kits and blood samples shipment and an Internet-based clinical data management company to assist us with global project management of the Phase III clinical trial and regulatory processes. We have contracted with our third-party manufacturers for sufficient quantities of the RapidMist™ device components, the insulin, and the formulary excipients that will be required for the production of clinical trial batches of Generex Oral-lyn™.
In November 2007, we obtained approval for the importation and commercial marketing and sale in India of Generex Oral-lyn™ from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), Directorate General of Health Services, Government of India, which is responsible for authorizing marketing approval of all new pharmaceutical products in India. In March 2008, we received the first commercial purchase order for the product from our distributor in India. We are currently manufacturing the product to fulfill this order at the PharmaBrand facility in Ecuador.
We received Special Access Program (SAP) authorization from Health Canada for a patient-specific, physician-supervised treatment of Type-1 diabetes with Generex Oral-lyn™ in April 2008. SAP provides access to non-marketed drugs for practitioners treating patients with serious or life-threatening conditions when conventional therapies have failed, are not available or unsuitable. We received similar authorization from health authorities in Netherlands in September 2008. We will continue to expand our SAP participation in additional countries around the world.
Buccal Glucose and Energy Products - Glucose RapidSpray™, BaBOOM! ™ Energy Spray and GlucoBreak™
Using our proprietary buccal delivery technology, we have developed several formulations of glucose sprays that are available over-the-counter. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, we introduced, Glucose RapidSpray™. This product uses our proprietary RapidMist™ platform technology to provide an alternative for people who require or want additional glucose in their diet and delivers a fat-free, low-calorie glucose formulation directly into the mouth. Glucose RapidSpray™ is currently available in the United States and Canada through a number of leading retail chains, wholesalers and online. It is also available wholesale in the Middle East through Generex MENA. We plan to expand to South Africa, Baltic, Nordic and other markets in 2009.
Glucose RapidSpray™ offers another aid to diabetics who require or need additional glucose to their diets or daily intake.. Recent studies conducted by scientists at the University Campus Bio-Medico, Rome, Italy in conjunction with Generex have demonstrated that Glucose RapidSpray™ used early in the onset of a hypoglycemia episode can stop such an episode and prevent a further drop in blood glucose and the noxious feelings that ensue. With our easy-to-use RapidSpray™ bottle, individuals can easily add additional glucose to their diets and serves as a medium for first signs of low blood sugar levels. We also conducted a clinical trial at Department of Endocrinology, Children City Hospital in Moscow, Russia on children up to 5 years of age with Type-1 diabetes. The study concluded that because of the small dose of glucose and control over the amount, Glucose RapidSpray™ represents superior tool in very young patients to control blood sugar levels relative to existing glucose products available on the market which can also can improve the overall metabolic control.
We believe that we can market Glucose RapidSpray™ as a complementary product Generex Oral-lyn™. We believe that a combination therapy of Generex Oral-lyn™, Glucose RapidSpray™ and other oral agents, including a metformin gum which we are jointly developing with Fertin Pharma A/S, could provide a full range of products used in the treatment of Type-2 diabetes and people with impaired glucose tolerance.
In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, we expanded our line of over-the-counter products using our proprietary RapidSpray™ delivery device with the introduction of two new products. GlucoBreak™ is a fat-free glucose spray that is marketed as an aid for dieters and can be used between meals as part of a daily diet routine, during exercise and before bedtime. GlucoBreak™ is the first product related to weight loss that we have launched.
A separate study also conducted by scientists at the University Campus Bio-Medico, Rome, Italy had demonstrated that delivery of small amounts of glucose during the day appeared to reduce the body mass index of subjects using GlucoBreak ™ as compared to a control group. Such a benefit may be of benefit individuals with obesity and diabetes. It is estimated that there are over 70 million dieters in the United States, the majority of whom try to lose weight by themselves.
Our other new product, BaBOOM!™ Energy Spray is a convenient and pleasant-tasting instant energy spray designed to enhance energy levels for sports, work, study, travel and overall fatigue. Its primary ingredients include glucose, caffeine, ginseng and Vitamins B and C. It is fat-free, has fewer than five calories per serving and is available in watermelon flavor. BaBOOM! ™ Energy Spray is our first energy product.
6
Currently, BaBOOM!™ Energy Spray and GlucoBreak™ are being considered for commercial sale in several of the largest national and regional retailers and drug store chains in the United States and Canada. Glucose RapidSpray™ is currently being marketed in the Middle East through the Generex MENA office in Dubai and in South Africa and six neighboring countries through the Master Distributor Agreement with Adcock Ingram Limited and Adcock Ingram Healthcare (Pty) Ltd.. We expect to expand to other markets in 2009.
The strategy to develop and launch these over-the-counter products is threefold. The first is to demonstrate the expansion of our proprietary RapidSpray ™ technology. The second is to create a brand name in the marketplace particularly in the diabetes shelf space with Glucose RapidSpray ™ and GlucoBreak ™ and on a mainstream scale with BaBOOM! ™ Energy Spray. Finally, the product pipeline is expected to provide us with an additional revenue stream while we attain registrations and approvals worldwide for our oral insulin product.
Metformin Gum Product/Strategic Alliance
In May 2006, we established a collaborative alliance with Fertin Pharma A/S, a leading Danish manufacturer of medicinal chewing gum, for the development of a metformin medicinal chewing gum for the treatment of Type-2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. Metformin is a generic drug used to regulate blood glucose levels by reducing the amount of glucose produced by the liver, reducing the amount of glucose absorbed from food in the stomach, and by making the insulin produced by the body work more effectively to reduce the amount of glucose already in the blood. It is an important staple of the standard of care for patients with Type-2 diabetes mellitus.
Through this collaborative relationship, we will seek to combine our proprietary buccal drug delivery platform technologies with Fertin's know-how related to gum base formulations, solubilization systems, and taste masking/modification to create a metformin medicinal chewing gum that will deliver metformin into the body via the buccal mucosa rather than in its current tablet form. We anticipate that this delivery method, in addition to being much more rapid and providing a much more specific and effective dosing regimen, could avoid some of the adverse side effects associated with taking metformin in tablet form, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, abdominal bloating, and increased gas production. In addition, metformin gum could avoid the bitter taste and large doses associated with the tablet form and thus improve therapeutic compliance, particularly among younger patients.
Fertin is in the process of producing clinical materials for a bioequivalence study of our proprietary metformin chewing gum, MetControl™ , which is expected to commence before the end of calendar year 2008. We expect to begin testing of MetControl™ on volunteer patients shortly thereafter. In the study, we will compare the single dose blood level profile of metformin to that of immediate-release metformin tablet. Once completed, we anticipate that formal Abbreviated New Drug Application with full support data will be prepared and submitted to health authorities in North America, Europe and other global regions where we will be seeking regulatory approval for the sale of the product.
If we successfully develop the metformin medicinal chewing gum, we would market it as a companion product to Generex Oral-lyn™. We believe that a combination therapy of Generex Oral-lyn™, metformin gum, and other traditional oral agents could optimize the treatment of Type-2 diabetes and, possibly, delay the onset of certain complications associated with diabetes.

The delivery of morphine and fentanyl by oral formulation (pills) and injection for the treatment of moderate to severe breakthrough and postoperative pain often fails to provide patients with adequate relief and control because, among other reasons, breakthrough and postoperative pain are characterized as being moderate to severe in intensity and have a rapid onset of action and a short to medium duration. Not only does delivery by pills have a slow onset of action, it is often difficult for patients to adjust their doses, with the result that patients are either over or under medicated. Injections are invasive and require an attendant to administer the medication which reduces the patient's control over the pain and may cause increased anxiety. We believe that a buccal delivery formulation for morphine and fentanyl would have a critical series of attributes well suited for the treatment of breakthrough and post operative pain, would be cost-effective and would have a demonstrable improvement over current delivery methods, including fast access to the circulatory system, precise dosing control and a simple, self-administration procedure.

We made an Investigatory New Drug submission for buccal morphine to the Health Protection Branch in Canada in January 2002, and received permission from the Canadian regulators to proceed with clinical trials in March 2002. We made an Investigatory New Drug submission for fentanyl to the Health Protection Branch in Canada in August 2002, and received permission from the Canadian regulators to proceed with clinical trials in October 2002. During fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, we did not actively pursue our buccal morphine and buccal fentanyl projects. The development of these products will most likely be delayed while we focus on late stage trials of the oral insulin formulation in the United States, Canada and Europe.
Other Potential Buccal Products
We have had discussions of possible research collaborations with various pharmaceutical companies concerning use of our large molecule drug delivery technology with other compounds, including monoclonal antibodies, human growth hormone, fertility hormone, estrogen and heparin, and a number of vaccines. We have not aggressively pursued development opportunities apart from insulin because we believe it is more advantageous to concentrate our resources, particularly our financial resources, on commercializing the insulin product.
Immunomedicine Technology and Products
Our wholly-owned subsidiary Antigen is developing proprietary vaccine formulations based upon two platform technologies that were discovered by its founder, the Ii-Key hybrid peptides and Ii-Suppression. These technologies are applicable for either antigen-specific immune stimulation or suppression, depending upon the dosing and formulation of its products. Using active stimulation, we are focusing on major diseases such as breast and prostate cancer, H5N1 avian influenza and HIV. Autoimmune disease such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis and allergic asthma are the focus of our antigen-specific immune suppression work.
Antigen’s immunotherapeutic vaccine AE37 is currently in Phase II clinical trials for patients with HER-2/neu positive breast cancer. The trial is being conducted with the United States Military Cancer Institute's (USMCI) Clinical Trials Group and will examine the rate of relapse in patients with node-positive or high-risk node-negative breast cancer after two years. The study is randomized and will compare patients treated with AE37 plus the adjuvant GM-CSF versus GM-CSF alone. The Phase II trial follows a Phase I trial that demonstrated safety, tolerability, and immune stimulation of the AE37 vaccine in breast cancer patients.
Based on positive results in trials of the AE37 vaccine in breast cancer patients, we entered into an agreement in August 2006 with the Euroclinic, a private center in Athens, Greece, to commence clinical trials with the same compound as an immunotherapeutic vaccine for prostate cancer. We expect that the new prostate cancer studies will involve 30 patients and will evaluate primarily immunological responsiveness to a dose of the vaccine previously shown to be well tolerated in breast cancer patients. These studies are currently underway and patient enrolment has been completed.
The same technology used to enhance immunogenicity is being applied in the development of a synthetic peptide vaccine for H5N1 avian influenza. In April 2007, a Phase I clinical trial of Antigen’s proprietary peptides derived from the hemagglutinin protein of the H5N1 avian influenza virus was initiated in healthy volunteers in the Lebanese-Canadian Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon. We anticipate that the trial will be completed in early 2009. Modified peptide vaccines for avian influenza offer several advantages over traditional egg-based or cell-culture based vaccines. Modified peptide vaccines can be manufactured by an entirely synthetic process which reduces cost and increases both the speed and quantity of production egg- or cell-culture based vaccines. Another advantage is that the peptides are derived from regions of the virus that are similar enough in all H5N1 virus strains such that they would not have to be newly designed for the specific strain to emerge in a pandemic.
In March 2007, Antigen entered into an agreement with Beijing Daopei Hospital in Beijing, China to conduct clinical trials using Antigen’s pioneering technology for RNA interference (RNAi) stimulation of the immune response against patients’ immune cells. The strategy developed by Antigen involves modifying the patient's cancer cells to increase their immunogenicity and thereby enable the immune system to fight off the cancer anywhere in the patient's body. Antigen has developed proprietary methods using RNAi to specifically inhibit expression of the Ii protein in cancer cells already expressing MHC class II molecules that are amenable to clinical use. Cancer cells from patients with acute myelogenous leukemia will be transfected with a vector expressing RNAi to silence Ii expression. After lethal irradiation, the cells are re-introduced as a subcutaneous immunization to the patient. Preliminary work under the agreement has commenced. Due to regulatory changes in China’s approval process relating to these types of studies, it is unclear when the trial might commence.

We have filed a Physician’s Investigational New Drug application for the Phase I and Phase II trials in patients with stage II HER-2/neu positive breast cancer. A Physician’s Investigational New Drug application for Phase I trial in patients with breast or ovarian cancer also has been filed. Applications were filed and approvals obtained for Phase I prostate cancer using AE37 in Athens, Greece from the Hellenic Organization of Drugs. The Ministry of Health in Lebanon gave approval for Phase I trial of our experimental H5N1 prophylactic vaccine in Beirut, Lebanon following submission of an application. All other immunomedicine products are in the pre-clinical stage of development.
Government Regulation
Our research and development activities and the manufacturing and marketing of our pharmaceutical products are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA in the United States, Health Protection Branch in Canada and comparable regulatory authorities in other countries. Among other things, extensive regulation puts a burden on our ability to bring products to market. While these regulations apply to all competitors in our industry, many of our competitors have more experience in dealing with the FDA and other regulators. Also, other companies in our industry are not limited primarily to products which still need to be approved by government regulators, as we are now.
If requisite regulatory approvals are not obtained and maintained, our business will be substantially harmed. In many cases, we expect that extant and prospective development partners will participate in the regulatory approval process. The following discussion summarizes the principal features of food and drug regulation in the United States and other countries as they affect our business.
United States
All aspects of our research, development and foreseeable commercial activities relating to pharmaceutical products are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the United States. United States federal and state statutes and regulations govern, among other things, the testing, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. The regulatory approval process, including clinical trials, usually takes several years and requires the expenditure of substantial resources. If regulatory approval of a product is granted, the approval may include significant limitations on the uses for which the product may be marketed.
The steps required before a pharmaceutical product may be marketed in the United States include:
· | quality test/studies; |
· | pre-clinical tests /studies; |
· | submission to the FDA of Investigational New Drug Applications (“INDs”) and/or Amendments for each planned human clinical trial; |
· | FDA acceptance of INDs, which permit human clinical trials to commence; |
· | commencement and completion of numerous human clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the subject drug; |
· | submission of a New Drug Application to the FDA; and |
· | FDA approval of the New Drug Application, including approval of all product labeling |
Quality and pre-clinical tests and studies include: laboratory evaluation of Drug Substance and Drug Product chemistry, formulation/manufacturing, and stability profiling, as well as a large number of animal studies to assess the potential safety and efficacy of each product. Typically, the pre-clinical studies consist of the following:
Pharmacology
· | Primary and Secondary Pharmacodynamics |
9
· | Safety Pharmacology |
· | Other Pharmacodynamics |
Pharmacokinetics (“PK”)
· | Single and Multiple Dose Kinetics |
· | Tissue Distribution |
· | Metabolism |
· | PK Drug Interactions |
· | Other PK studies |
Toxicology
· | Single and Multiple Dose Toxicity |
· | Genotoxicity |
· | Carcinogenicity |
· | Reproduction Toxicity |
· | Other Toxicity |
The results of the quality and pre-clinical tests/studies, in addition to any non-clinical pharmacology, are submitted to the FDA along with the initial clinical study protocol (see descriptive of process below) as part of the initial IND and are reviewed by the FDA before the commencement of human clinical trials. Unless the FDA objects to it, the IND becomes effective 30 days following its receipt by the FDA. Subsequent clinical studies may begin as soon as the protocols are submitted. FDA reviews all protocols, protocol amendments, adverse event reports, study reports, and annual reports in connection with a new pharmacological product.
The IND for our oral insulin formulation became effective in November 1998. Amendments are also subsequently filed as new Clinical Studies and their corresponding Study Protocols are proposed. In July 2007, we received a no objection clearance to initiate our Phase III study protocol for our oral insulin product. We filed an Investigational New Drug Application for buccal morphine in January 2002. The Physician’s Investigational New Drug Application for the Phase 1 and Phase II trial of AE37, Antigen’s synthetic peptide vaccine designed to stimulate a potent and specific immune response against tumors expressing the HER-2/neu oncogene, in patients with stage II HER-2/neu positive breast cancer became effective in March 2006.
Clinical trials involve the administration of a new drug to humans under the supervision of qualified investigators. The protocols for the trials must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND. Also, each clinical trial must be approved and conducted under the auspices of an Institutional Review Board (IRB), which considers, among other things, ethical factors, the safety of human subjects, and the possible liability of the institution conducting the clinical trials.
Clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases (Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III), but the phases may overlap. Phase I clinical trials test the drug on healthy human subjects for safety and other aspects, but not effectiveness. Phase II clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the efficacy of the drug for specific purposes, to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosages, and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks. When a compound has shown evidence of efficacy and acceptable safety in Phase II evaluations, Phase III clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at clinical trial sites in different geographical locations. The FDA and other regulatory authorities require that the safety and efficacy of therapeutic product candidates be supported through at least two adequate and well-controlled Phase III clinical trials (known as “Pivotal Trials”). The successful completion of Phase III clinical trials is a mandatory step in the approval process for the manufacturing, marketing, and sale of products.
10
In the United States, the results of quality, pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, if successful, are submitted to the FDA in a New Drug Application (“NDA”) to seek approval to market and commercialize the drug product for a specified use. The NDA is far more specific than the IND and must also include proposed labeling and detailed technical sections based on the data collected. The FDA has 10 months to take an action for a standard application (and shorter for a priority application). It may deny a NDA if it believes that applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. The FDA also may require additional testing for safety and efficacy of the drug. We cannot be sure that any of our proposed products will receive FDA approval. The multi-tiered approval process means that our products could fail to advance to subsequent steps without the requisite data, studies, and FDA approval along the way. Even if approved by the FDA, our products and the facilities used to manufacture our products will remain subject to review and periodic inspection by the FDA.
To supply drug products for use in the United States, foreign and domestic manufacturing facilities must be registered with, and approved by, the FDA. Manufacturing facilities must also comply with the FDA's current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMPs), and such facilities are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA. Products manufactured outside the United States are inspected by regulatory authorities in those countries under agreements with the FDA. To comply with cGMPs, manufacturers must expend substantial funds, time and effort in the area of production and quality control. The FDA stringently applies its regulatory standards for manufacturing. Discovery of previously unknown problems with respect to a product, manufacturer or facility may result in consequences with commercial significance. These include restrictions on the product, manufacturer or facility, suspensions of regulatory approvals, operating restrictions, delays in obtaining new product approvals, withdrawals of the product from the market, product recalls, fines, injunctions and criminal prosecution.
One final hurdle that is closely associated with the cGMP inspections is the Pre Approval Inspection that FDA carries out prior to the issuance of a marketing license. FDA inspectors combine cGMP compliance with a review of research and development documents that were used in the formal New Drug Application. A close inspection of historic data is reviewed to confirm data and to demonstrate that a company has carried out the activities as presented in the New Drug Application. This is generally a long inspection and requires a team of individuals from the company to “host” the FDA inspector(s).
Foreign Countries
Before we are permitted to market any of our products outside of the United States, those products will be subject to regulatory approval by foreign government agencies similar to the FDA. These requirements vary widely from country to country. Generally, however, no action can be taken to market any drug product in a country until an appropriate application has been submitted by a sponsor and approved by the regulatory authorities in that country. Again, similar to the FDA, each country will mandate a specific financial consideration for the Marketing Application dossiers being submitted. Although an important consideration, FDA approval does not assure approval by other regulatory authorities. The current approval process varies from country to country, and the time spent in gaining approval varies from that required for FDA approval. The Canadian regulatory process is substantially similar to that of the United States. To date, we have receive the following foreign regulatory approval for our product candidates:
· | We obtained regulatory approval to begin clinical trials of our oral insulin formulation in Canada in November 1998. In April 2003, we received approval of an Oral-lyn™ Phase II-B clinical trial protocol in Canada. In September 2006 Health Canada approved our Clinical Trial Application in respect of our proposed Generex Oral-lyn™ protocol for late-stage trials; we expect to use the data collected from these trials in the New Drug Submission that will be prepared concurrently with the progression of the late-stage trials. |
· | In May 2005, we received approval from the Ecuadorian Ministry of Public Health for the commercial marketing and sale of Generex Oral- lyn™ for treatment of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. |
· | In November 2007, we obtained approval for the importation and commercial marketing and sale in India of Generex Oral-lyn™ from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), Directorate General of Health Services, Government of India, which is responsible for authorizing marketing approval of all new pharmaceutical products in India. |
11
· | We obtained regulatory approval in Canada to begin clinical trials of our buccal morphine product in March 2002 and our fentanyl product in October 2002. |
· | Applications were filed and approvals obtained for Phase I prostate cancer using AE37 in Athens, Greece from the Hellenic Organization of Drugs. The Ministry of Health in Lebanon gave approval for Phase I trial of our experimental H5N1 prophylactic vaccine in Beirut, Lebanon following submission of an application. |
Marketing and Distribution
We market our products through collaborative arrangements with companies that have well-established pharmaceutical marketing and distribution capabilities, including expertise in the regulatory approval processes in their respective jurisdictions.
Generex Oral-Lyn™
Our business partner in Ecuador, PharmaBrand, has generated some commercial sales of Generex Oral-lyn™ in that country since the product received regulatory approval in May 2005. Currently, our relationship with PharmaBrand is governed by a letter of intent, and we are in the process of refining our relationship with PharmaBrand to transition its role to primarily that of a manufacturer for the commercial orders placed worldwide with distribution rights in Ecuador. We do not expect that such sales will be reflected in our financial statements until we have entered into a definitive agreement with PharmaBrand.
We have entered into licensing and distribution agreement with numerous multinational distributors to assist us with the process of gaining regulatory approval for the registration, marketing, distribution, and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ in countries throughout the world, including:
· | Leosons General Trading Company/Generex MENA Office - 15 Middle Eastern countries; |
· | Shreya Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd. - India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar; |
· | Adcock Ingram Limited and Adcock Ingram Healthcare (Pty) Ltd. - South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Botswana, Namibia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe; |
· | E&V Alca Distribution Corp. - Albania, Montenegro, and the Kosovo; |
· | Medrey S.A.L. (formerly MedGen Corp.) and Benta S.A.L. – Lebanon; |
· | SciGen, Ltd. - China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam; and |
· | Dong Sung Pharm. Co. Ltd. – South Korea. |
Under these licensing and distribution agreements excluding the one with Dong Sung Pharm Co., we will not receive an upfront license fee, but the distributor will bear any and all costs associated with the procurement of governmental approvals for the sale of Generex Oral-Lyn™, including any clinical and regulatory costs. We possess the worldwide marketing rights to our oral insulin product.
In August 2008, we entered into a product licensing and distribution agreement with Dong Sung Pharm Co. Ltd. for the importation, marketing, distribution and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ in South Korea. Under the seven-year agreement, Dong-Sung will have an exclusive license and will pay us a USD$500,000 non-refundable license fee upon execution and a USD$500,000 non-refundable license fee at such time as governmental approval for the importation, marketing, distribution and sale of the product in South Korea is obtained. Under this agreement, we are responsible for procuring such governmental approval. In addition, when it places its first purchase order, Dong-Sung will pay us a pre-payment in the amount of USD$500,000, which will be applied against product purchase orders.
12
Previously, we entered into a licensing and distribution agreement with the Armenian Development Agency and the Canada Armenia Trading House Ltd. for the commercialization of Generex Oral-lyn™ in the Republic of Armenia, Georgia and the Republic of Kazakhstan. Although an application for registration has been submitted to public health authorities in Armenia, to date no approval has been forthcoming. We terminated this agreement in January 2008, but we are continuing to prosecute the Armenian application on our own.
Leosons General Trading Company, has filed submissions of the Generex Oral-lyn™ dossier with regulatory agencies in Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Yemen, and the United Arab Emirates, but no approvals have been forthcoming to date except for a limited, pharmacy specific importation license in the United Arab Emirates to import Generex Oral-lyn™ into Abu Dhabi. We recently established an office in Dubai Healthcare City Center to facilitate our work with the regulatory and marketing personnel of Leosons. This office provides greater exposure to the medical community within the Middle East region.
In March 2008, we received the first purchase order for 210,000 canisters of Generex Oral-lyn™ from Shreya Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., our distributor in India. We are in the process of completing this order and partial shipment was made in September 2008. A marketing plan has already been submitted by Shreya Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., to Generex on the marketing strategy for the distribution of Oral Recosulin™--the trademark under which Shreya will market Generex Oral-lyn™ within India. The marketing plan also includes post-approval marketing studies.
Over-the-Counter Products
We have entered into distribution agreements with the number of pharmaceutical wholesalers, including Cardinal Health, AmerisourceBergen Corporation, Amerimark Direct, DIK Drug Co., H.D. Smith Wholesale Drug, Kinray Inc., Smith Drug Company, Value Drug Company, RDC, Kohl & Frisch Limited, UniPharm Wholesale Drugs Ltd and McKesson Canada, for the distribution of Glucose RapidSpray™ in retail stores in the United States and Canada. Glucose RapidSpray™ is currently sold in the United States and Canada through a number of retail chains, including:
· | Rite Aid, |
· | Butler Drug Store, |
· | Rexall PharmaPlus, |
· | Fruth Pharmacy, |
· | Loblaws Companies Ltd., |
· | Hy-Vee Inc., |
· | Kerr Drug Inc., |
· | Kinney Drug, Inc., |
· | Medicine Shop, |
· | Meijer, |
· | ShopKo, |
· | Weiss Markets Inc., |
· | Aurora Pharmacy, and |
· | Shoppers Drug Mart. |
13
Glucose RapidSpray™ is also available for sale on the Internet through Amazon.com, Walgreens.com, AmericanDiabetesWholesale.com and DiabeticExpress.com as well as in a number of independent drugstores throughout North America.
We have also established relationships with brokers who serve as a liaison to retail outlets throughout the U.S. and Canada. These brokers represent multiple products that are presented to specific product buyers. We believe that our relationships with the brokers will place us in a stronger position to get our products listed and on the shelf in major chains throughout the United States and Canada.
Our newly introduced over-the-counter glucose and energy spray products, BaBOOM!™ Energy Spray and GlucoBreak™, are being reviewed for commercial sale in several of the largest national and regional retailers and drug store chains in the United States and Canada. Recently, we have begun limited direct marketing of our glucose sprays on the Internet and have established web sites for each of Glucose RapidSpray™, BaBOOM!™ Energy Spray and GlucoBreak™ where consumers may purchase these products directly.
We continue to seek to expand our existing distribution channels for our over-the-counter products. We have implemented this strategy with the execution of a licensing and distribution agreement with Leosons for the marketing, distribution, and sale in the Middle East of Glucose RapidSpray™. In December 2007, we received a $400,000 purchase order for our over-the-counter products, including Glucose Rapid Spray™, from Leosons and are currently in the process of filling the order and partial shipments have been made product. To date, we have received approximately $98,000 in revenues from Leosons from sales of Glucose RapidSpray™.
In August 2007, we entered into a licensing and distribution agreement with Adcock Ingram Limited and Adcock Ingram Healthcare (Pty) Ltd., a leading distributor of North American pharmaceutical and healthcare products in South Africa, for the marketing and distribution of Glucose RapidSpray ™ in South Africa and six neighboring countries.
Under these agreement, we will not receive an upfront license fee with respect to Glucose RapidSpray™, but the respective distributor will bear all costs associated with the procurement of governmental approvals for the sale of the product, including any clinical and regulator costs.
With respect to marketing all of our products, we intend to rely primarily on contracting or collaborative arrangements with other companies that possess strong pharmaceutical marketing and distribution resources to perform these functions for us. Accordingly, we may not have the same control over marketing and distribution that we would have if we conducted these functions ourselves.
Manufacturing
In December 2000, we completed our pilot manufacturing facility for Generex Oral-lyn™ in Toronto, Canada in the same commercial complex in which our laboratories are located. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, we initiated a scale-up commercial production run of several thousand canisters of Generex Oral-lyn™ at this facility. We will need to significantly increase our manufacturing capability or engage contract manufacturers in order to manufacture any product in significant commercial quantities.
In March 2006, we successfully completed of the delivery and installation of a turnkey Generex Oral-lyn™ filling operation at the facilities of PharmaBrand, in Quito, Ecuador for the purposes of commercial supply and sales in Ecuador and other countries that can procure registrations and import licenses. We expect additional commercial manufacturing runs of the product at these facilities before the end of calendar year 2008. We anticipate that the capacity of this facility will be sufficient to support commercial sales in Ecuador, other countries in Latin America and around the world.
In anticipation of undertaking late-stage clinical trials of Generex Oral-lyn™ in Canada, we entered into an agreement with Cardinal Health PTS, LLC, now known as Catalent Pharma Solutions, in June 2006, pursuant to which Catalent will manufacture clinical trial batches of Generex Oral-lyn™. Pursuant to pre-extant supply arrangements, our third-party suppliers have been manufacturing the quantities of the RapidMist™ device components (valves, canisters, actuators, and dust caps), the insulin, and the formulary excipients that will be required for the Catalent production. In addition, our Regulatory Affairs, Quality Control and R&D personnel have been working with Catalent to prepare and validate the Catalent production processes.
14
Our subsidiary Antigen leases office and laboratory space in Worcester, Massachusetts, which is sufficient for its present needs. The laboratory has permission to store and use biohazardous (including recombinant DNA materials) and flammable chemicals.
Our over-the-counter glucose and energy products in Canada are manufactured by Pax-All Manufacturing, Inc., contract manufacturing company with the emphasis on over-the-counter and personal care products. The products are manufactured at Pax-All’s manufacturing facility located in Mississauga, Canada.
Raw Material Supplies
The excipients used in our formulation are available from numerous sources in sufficient quantities for clinical purposes, and we believe that they will be available in sufficient quantities for commercial purposes when required, although we have not yet attempted to secure a guaranteed commercial supply of any such products. Components suitable for our RapidMist™ device are available from a limited number of potential suppliers, as is the chemical propellant used in the device. The components which now comprise the device will be utilized with the commercial version of our insulin product in Ecuador and other South American countries, as well as the components for the commercial version of our new glucose spray products in the United States and Canada. We have secured supply arrangements with manufacturers for each of the components and the propellant that we presently use in our RapidMist™ device for commercial quantities of such components. All such suppliers are prominent, reputable and reliable suppliers to the pharmaceutical industry. Because we now have a single supplier for each of these components and propellant, however, we are more vulnerable to supply interruptions than would be the case if we had multiple suppliers for each component. We do not believe that the risk of supply for proprietary raw materials or device components is unusual in the pharmaceutical industry.
Insulin is available worldwide from only a few sources. However, alternative supplies of insulin are under development. We currently procure recombinant human insulin crystals for clinical trials and commercial production in Ecuador from time to time from a European supplier whose production facility is GMP certified by the FDA and European health authorities. We are working towards the establishment of a guaranteed long-term supply arrangement with this supplier. We are also exploring potential alternative sources of supply. We also believe future development and marketing partners under licensing and development agreements, if any, will provide, or assist us to obtain, pharmaceutical compounds that are used in products covered under such agreements.
Components used in the production of our over-the-counter glucose sprays products, including glucose and all excipients, are available from a number of potential suppliers. We have not secured commercial supply agreements with any of them as they are readily available in the commercial quantities.
While morphine is a controlled substance, it is readily available for use in clinical trials. We currently have the appropriate licenses and facilities for acquiring and storing morphine in Canada. Various regulatory issues surround the import of morphine into the United States, and we will need to address these issues prior to commencing clinical trials in the United States.
Raw materials for our pre-clinical development stage immunomedicine products include amino acids (for peptide therapeutics) and oligonucleotides (for genetic constructs). These materials are readily available from commercial suppliers. We utilize the services of several commercial laboratories for the manufacturing of our pre-clinical development stage immunomedicine products.
Intellectual Property
We hold a number of patents in the United States and foreign countries covering our buccal and other delivery technologies. We also have developed brand names and trademarks for products in all areas. We consider the overall protection of our patent, trademark and other intellectual property rights to be of material value and acts to protect these rights from infringement.
Patents are a key determinant of market exclusivity for most branded pharmaceutical products. Protection for individual products or technologies extends for varying periods in accordance with the expiration dates of patents in the various countries. The protection afforded, which may also vary from country to country, depends upon the type of patent, its scope of coverage and the availability of meaningful legal remedies in the country.
15
We currently have twenty issued U.S. patents and four pending U.S. patent application pertaining to aspects of buccal delivery technology including oral administration of macromolecular formulations (including insulin) as well as pain relief medications such as morphine and fentanyl. We currently hold eight issued Canadian patents and five pending Canadian patent applications also relating to aspects of buccal drug delivery technology. We also hold one hundred and four issued patents and one hundred and seventeen pending patent applications covering our drug delivery technology, including our over-the-counter glucose and energy spray products and metformin gum, in jurisdictions other than the U.S. and Canada, including Japan, Mexico, Australia and several European countries. We plan to continue to expand our patent portfolio for additional products, formulations and device inventions. We also plan to expand the territorial coverage of our existing patent portfolio and new additions to more markets around the world where we plan to do business.
In addition, we have one issued Canadian patent, one U.S. patent and one pending U.S. patent application pertaining to delivery technologies other than our buccal delivery technology.
We also have an indirect interest in seven drug delivery patents held by another company, Centrum Biotechnologies, Inc.
Our subsidiary Antigen currently holds eight issued U.S. patents, three Australian patents, nine other foreign patents, seven pending U.S. patent applications , one pending U.S. provisional patents and twenty-five foreign patent applications concerning technology for modulating the immune system via activation of antigen-specific helper T lymphocytes. Some of these patents are held under exclusive licenses from the University of Massachusetts. Dr. Robert Humphreys, a retired officer of Antigen, is the listed inventor or co-inventor on all of these patents and patent applications, including those licensed from the University of Massachusetts.
In addition to patents, we hold intellectual property in the form of trademark applications worldwide on products such as Generex Oral-lyn™ and Oral Recosulin™. Trademarks have no effect on market exclusivity for a product, but are considered to have marketing value. Trademark protection continues in some countries as long as used; in other countries, as long as registered. Registration is for fixed terms and can be renewed indefinitely.
We possess the worldwide manufacturing and marketing rights to our oral insulin product.
Our long-term success will substantially depend upon our ability to obtain patent protection for our technology and our ability to protect our technology from infringement, misappropriation, discovery and duplication. We cannot be sure that any of our pending patent applications will be granted, or that any patents which we own or obtain in the future will fully protect our position. Our patent rights and the patent rights of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies in general, are highly uncertain and include complex legal and factual issues. We believe that our existing technology and the patents which we hold or for which we have applied do not infringe any one else's patent rights. We believe our patent rights will provide meaningful protection against others duplicating our proprietary technologies. We cannot be sure of this, however, because of the complexity of the legal and scientific issues that could arise in litigation over these issues. See Part I - Item 3. Legal Proceedings for a discussion of certain legal proceedings involving intellectual property issues.
We also rely on trade secrets and other unpatented proprietary information. We seek to protect this information, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators.
Competition
We expect that products based upon our buccal delivery technology and any other products that we may develop will compete directly with products developed by other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities, government agencies and public and private research organizations.
Products developed by our competitors may use a different active pharmaceutical agent or treatment to treat the same medical condition or indication as our product or may provide for the delivery of substantially the same active pharmaceutical ingredient as our products using different methods of administration. For example, a number of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are engaged in various stages of research, development and testing of alternatives to insulin therapy for the treatment of diabetes, as well as new methods of delivering insulin. These methods, including nasal, transdermal, needle-free (high pressure) injection and pulmonary, may ultimately successfully deliver insulin to diabetic patients. Some biotechnology companies also have developed different technologies to enhance the presentation of peptide antigens. Some of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater scientific research and product development capabilities, as well as financial, marketing and human resources, than we do.
16
Where the same or substantially the same active ingredient is available using alternative delivery means or the same or substantially the same result is achievable with a different treatment or technology, we expect that competition among products will be based, among other things, on product safety, efficacy, ease of use, availability, price, marketing and distribution. When different active pharmaceutical ingredients are involved, these same competitive factors will apply to both the active agent and the delivery method.
We consider other drug delivery and biotechnology companies to be direct competitors for the cooperation and support of major drug and biotechnology companies that own or market proprietary pharmaceutical compounds and technologies, as well as for the ultimate patient market. Of primary concern to us are the competitor companies that are known to be developing delivery systems for insulin and other pharmaceutical agents that we have identified as product candidates and technologies to enhance the presentation of peptide antigens.
The following descriptions of our competitors and their products were obtained from their filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, information available on their web sites and industry research reports.
Buccal Insulin Product
· | Pfizer announced in October 2007 the discontinuation of development and marketing activities relating to Exubera®, the inhaled insulin product developed by Nektar Therapeutics. Exubera® was the first inhaled insulin formulation to receive FDA approval. In April 2008, Pfizer and Nektar Therapeutics announced that clinical trials of Exubera demonstrated increased lung cancer rates in certain patient. We are not aware of any product currently in Pfizer’s pipeline that directly competes with Oral-lyn™. |
· | Nektar Therapeutics and Pfizer terminated their collaborative development and licensing agreement for Exubera® and Nektar’s next-generation inhaled insulin product in November 2007. In April 2008, Nektar announced that it had ceased all negotiations with potential partners for Exubera® and the next-general inhaled insulin product as a result of new data analysis from ongoing clinical trials conducted by Pfizer which indicated an increased risk of lung cancer in certain patients. We are not aware of any product candidates under development by Nektar that compete directly with Oral-lyn™. |
· | Alkermes, Inc. and Eli Lilly and Company entered into a licensing agreement in 2001 for the development of an AIR® inhaled insulin system based upon Alkermes’ AIR® pulmonary drug delivery system for large molecule drugs to the lungs with a dry power formulation.

Environmental Compliance
Our manufacturing, research and development activities involve the controlled use of hazardous materials and chemicals. We believe that our procedures for handling and disposing of these materials comply with all applicable government regulations. However, we cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials. If an accident occurred, we could be held liable for damages, and these damages could severely impact our financial condition. We are also subject to many environmental, health and workplace safety laws and regulations, particularly those governing laboratory procedures, exposure to blood-borne pathogens, and the handling of hazardous biological materials. Violations and the cost of compliance with these laws and regulations could adversely affect us. However, we do not believe that compliance with the United States, Canadian or other environmental laws will have a material effect on us in the foreseeable future.
Research and Development Expenditures
A substantial portion of our activities to date have been in research and development. In the period from inception to July 31, 2008, our expenditures on research and development were $90,035,712. These included $16,359,030 in the year ended July 31, 2008, $11,983,626 in the year ended July 31, 2007, and $6,554,393 in the year ended July 31, 2006. The increase in our research and development activities in 2008 compared to 2007 and 2007 compared to 2006 is due primarily to the preparation for and the commencement of Phase III clinical trials of our oral insulin product in Canada.
Financial Information About Geographic Areas
The regions in which we had identifiable assets and revenues and the amounts of such identifiable assets and revenues for each of the last three fiscal years are presented Note 16 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II - Item. 8 Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Identifiable assets are those that can be directly associated with a geographic area.
Employees
At September 30, 2008, we had twenty-seven full-time employees, including our executive officers and other individuals who work for us full-time but are employed by management companies that provide their services, and ten employees of our subsidiary Antigen. Twelve of our employees are executive and administrative, twenty-two are scientific and technical personnel who engage primarily in development activities and in preparing formulations for testing and clinical trials, and three are engaged in corporate and product promotion and product sales. We believe our employee relations are good. None of our employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
We will continue to need qualified scientific personnel and personnel with experience in clinical testing, government regulation and manufacturing. We may have difficulty in obtaining qualified scientific and technical personnel as there is strong competition for such personnel from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as universities and research institutions. Our business could be materially harmed if we are unable to recruit and retain qualified scientific, administrative and executive personnel to support our expanding activities, or if one or more members of our limited scientific and management staff were unable or unwilling to continue their association with us. We have fixed-term agreements with only certain members of our key management and scientific staff, including Anna Gluskin, our Chief Executive Officer and President, Rose Perri, our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, Mark Fletcher, our Executive Vice-President and General Counsel, Dr. Gerald Bernstein, our Vice President Medical Affairs, Dr. Jaime Davidson, our Medical Director, Eric von Hofe, President of Antigen, Minzhen Xu, Vice-President Biology of Antigen, and Nikoletta Kallinteris, Senior Research Associate.

We use non-employee consultants to assist us in formulating research and development strategy, in preparing regulatory submissions, in developing protocols for clinical trials, and in designing, equipping and staffing our manufacturing facilities. We also use non-employee consultants to assist us in business development. These consultants and advisors usually have the right to terminate their relationship with us on short notice. Loss of some of these key advisors could interrupt or delay development of one or more of our products or otherwise adversely affect our business plans.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our business and results of operations are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors that you should be aware of, some of which are described below. The risks, uncertainties and other factors described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks, uncertainties and other factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.
Any of the risks, uncertainties and other factors could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations and could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline substantially.
Risks Related to Our Financial Condition
We have a history of losses and will incur additional losses.
We are a development stage company with a limited history of operations, and do not expect sufficient revenues to support our operation in the immediately foreseeable future. In the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, we received modest revenues from sales of Glucose RapidSpray™ . We did not recognize any revenue from the sale of our oral insulin product in Ecuador or India in fiscal 2008. We do not expect to receive any revenues in Ecuador until we enter into a definitive manufacturing and distribution agreement with our business partner there. While we have entered into a licensing and distribution agreement with a leading Indian-based pharmaceutical company and insulin distributor, we do not anticipate significant revenue from the initial commercial launch of Generex Oral-lyn™ in India sometime this fiscal year.
To date, we have not been profitable and our accumulated net loss available to shareholders was $248,229,261 at July 31, 2008. Our losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in research and development, including clinical trials, and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations. While we seek to attain profitability, we cannot be sure that we will ever achieve product and other revenue sufficient for us to attain this objective.
With the exception of Generex Oral-lyn™ which is currently available for sale in Ecuador and has been approved for sale in India and our over-the-counter glucose and energy spray products, Glucose RapidSpray™, BaBOOM!™ Energy Spray and GlucoBreak™, our product candidates are in research or early stages of pre-clinical and clinical development. We will need to conduct substantial additional research, development and clinical trials. We will also need to receive necessary regulatory clearances both in the United States and foreign countries and obtain meaningful patent protection for and establish freedom to commercialize each of our product candidates. We must also complete further clinical trials and seek regulatory approvals for Generex Oral-lyn™ in countries outside of Ecuador and India. We cannot be sure that we will obtain required regulatory approvals, or successfully research, develop, commercialize, manufacture and market any other product candidates. We expect that these activities, together with future general and administrative activities, will result in significant expenses for the foreseeable future.
23
We will need additional capital.
To progress in product development or marketing, we will need additional capital which may not be available to us. This may delay our progress in product development or market.
We will require funds in excess of our existing cash resources:
· | to proceed with the development of our buccal insulin product; | |
· | to finance the research and development of new products based on our buccal delivery and immunomedicine technologies, including clinical testing relating to new products; | |
· | to finance the research and development activities of our subsidiary Antigen with respect to other potential technologies; | |
· | to commercially launch and market developed products; | |
· | to develop or acquire other technologies or other lines of business; | |
· | to establish and expand our manufacturing capabilities; | |
· | to finance general and administrative activities that are not related to specific products under development; and | |
· | to otherwise carry on business. |
In the past, we have funded most of our development and other costs through equity financing. We anticipate that our existing capital resources will enable us to maintain currently planned operations through the next 12 months. However, this expectation is based on our current operating plan, which could change as a result of many factors, and we may need additional funding sooner than anticipated. Because our operating and capital resources are insufficient to meet future requirements, we will have to raise additional funds in the near future to continue the development and commercialization of our products. Unforeseen problems, including materially negative developments in our clinical trials or in general economic conditions, could interfere with our ability to raise additional equity capital or materially adversely affect the terms upon which such funding is available.
It is possible that we will be unable to obtain additional funding as and when we need it. If we were unable to obtain additional funding as and when needed, we could be forced to delay the progress of certain development efforts. Such a scenario poses risks. For example, our ability to bring a product to market and obtain revenues could be delayed, our competitors could develop products ahead of us, and/or we could be forced to relinquish rights to technologies, products or potential products.
Negative conditions in the global credit markets may impair the liquidity of our investment in auction rate securities.
Our short-term investments consist of AAA-rated auction rate securities at a value of $8.9 million. The continued negative conditions in the global credit markets have prevented some investors from liquidating their holdings of auction rate securities because the amount of securities submitted for sale has exceeded the amount of purchase orders for such securities. If the credit markets do not improve, auctions for our invested amounts may continue to fail. If an auction continues to fail for securities in which we have invested, we may be unable to liquidate some or all of our auction rate securities at par. In the event we need or desire to access these funds, we will not be able to do so until a future auction on these investments is successful or a buyer is found outside the auction process. If a buyer is found, such buyer may only be willing to purchase the investments at price below par. Further, rating downgrades of the security issuer or the third-parties insuring such investments may further impact our ability to auction or sell these securities.
24
We are currently seeking alternatives for reducing our exposure to the auction rate market, but may not be able to identify any such alternative. There can be no assurance that we will be able to recoup any of our investments in the auction rate securities. If we are not able to monetize some or all of our auction rate securities, we may suffer a loss, and such loss could have a material adverse effect on our ability to finance our future ongoing operations.
On August 15, 2008, the SEC announced that it had reached a preliminary settlement in principle with the financial institution through which we hold our auction rate securities, which included a plan to restore liquidity to the financial institution’s customers who invested in auction rate securities. The terms of the agreement in principle include, among others, the following:
· | The financial institution will offer to purchase the auction rate securities of large and institutional investors, presumably such as Generex, in a buy back that will begin no later than June 10, 2009 and conclude by June 30, 2009; and |
· | Until the financial institution actually provides for the liquidation of the auction rate securities, the financial institution will provide customers no net loans that will remain outstanding until the auction rate securities are repurchased. |
The agreement in principle is subject to finalization, review and approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission. To date, we have not received notice from the financial institution of the settlement terms.
Our research and development and marketing efforts may be highly dependent on corporate collaborators and other third parties who may not devote sufficient time, resources and attention to our programs, which may limit our efforts to successfully develop and market potential products.
Because we have limited resources, we have sought to enter into collaboration agreements with other pharmaceutical companies that will assist us in developing, testing, obtaining governmental approval for and commercializing products using our buccal delivery and immunomedicine technologies. Any collaborator with whom we may enter into such collaboration agreements may not support fully our research and commercial interests since our program may compete for time, attention and resources with such collaborator's internal programs. Therefore, these collaborators may not commit sufficient resources to our program to move it forward effectively, or that the program will advance as rapidly as it might if we had retained complete control of all research, development, regulatory and commercialization decisions.

With the exception of Generex Oral-lyn™, Glucose RapidSpray™, BaBOOM! ™ Energy Spray and GlucoBreak™, our technologies and products are at an early stage of development and we cannot expect significant revenues in respect thereof in the foreseeable future.
We have no products approved for commercial sale at the present time with the exception of Generex Oral-lyn™ in Ecuador and India and our glucose sprays which are available over-the-counter in retail outlets in the United States and Canada. To be profitable, we must not only successfully research, develop and obtain regulatory approval for our products under development, but also manufacture, introduce, market and distribute them once development is completed. We have yet to manufacture, market and distribute these products on a large-scale commercial basis, and we expect to receive only modest revenues from product sales in fiscal year 2009. We may not be successful in one or more of these stages of the development or commercialization of our products, and/or any of the products we develop may not be commercially viable. Until we can establish that they are commercially viable products, we will not receive significant revenues from ongoing operations.
Until we receive regulatory approval to sell our pharmaceutical products in additional countries, our ability to generate revenues from operations may be limited and those revenues may be insufficient to sustain operations. Many factors impact our ability to obtain approvals for commercially viable products.
Our only pharmaceutical product that has been approved for commercial sale by drug regulatory authorities is our oral insulin spray formulation, and that approval was obtained in Ecuador and India. We have begun the regulatory approval process for our oral insulin, buccal morphine and fentanyl products in other countries, and we have initiated late stage clinical trials of Generex Oral-lyn™ at some of our clinical trial sites in North America according to the Phase III clinical plan.
25
Our immunomedicine products are in the pre-clinical stage of development, with the exception of a Phase II trial in human patients with stage II HER-2/neu positive breast cancer (U.S.), a Phase I trial in human patients with prostate cancer (Athens, Greece), a Phase I trial in human patients with breast or ovarian cancer (U.S.) and a Phase I trial in human volunteers of a peptide vaccine for use against the H5N1 avian influenza virus (Beirut, Lebanon).
Pre-clinical and clinical trials of our products, and the manufacturing and marketing of our technologies, are subject to extensive, costly and rigorous regulation by governmental authorities in the United States, Canada and other countries. The process of obtaining required regulatory approvals from the FDA and other regulatory authorities often takes many years, is expensive and can vary significantly based on the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidates. For these reasons, it is possible we will not receive regulatory approval for any prescription pharmaceutical product candidate in any countries other than Ecuador and India.
In addition, we cannot be sure when or if we will be permitted by regulatory agencies to undertake additional clinical trials or to commence any particular phase of clinical trials. Because of this, statements in this Annual Report regarding the expected timing of clinical trials cannot be regarded as actual predictions of when we will obtain regulatory approval for any "phase" of clinical trials.
Delays in obtaining United States or other foreign approvals for our pharmaceutical products could result in substantial additional costs to us, and, therefore, could adversely affect our ability to compete with other companies. If regulatory approval is ultimately granted in any countries other than Ecuador and India, the approval may place limitations on the intended use of the product we wish to commercialize, and may restrict the way in which we are permitted to market the product.
Due to legal and factual uncertainties regarding the scope and protection afforded by patents and other proprietary rights, we may not have meaningful protection from competition.
Our long-term success will substantially depend upon our ability to protect our proprietary technologies from infringement, misappropriation, discovery and duplication and avoid infringing the proprietary rights of others. Our patent rights, and the patent rights of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies in general, are highly uncertain and include complex legal and factual issues. Because of this, our pending patent applications may not be granted. These uncertainties also mean that any patents that we own or will obtain in the future could be subject to challenge, and even if not challenged, may not provide us with meaningful protection from competition. Due to our financial uncertainties, we may not possess the financial resources necessary to enforce our patents. Patents already issued to us or our pending applications may become subject to dispute, and any dispute could be resolved against us.
Because a substantial number of patents have been issued in the field of alternative drug delivery and because patent positions can be highly uncertain and frequently involve complex legal and factual questions, the breadth of claims obtained in any application or the enforceability of our patents cannot be predicted. Consequently, we do not know whether any of our pending or future patent applications will result in the issuance of patents or, to the extent patents have been issued or will be issued, whether these patents will be subject to further proceedings limiting their scope, will provide significant proprietary protection or competitive advantage, or will be circumvented or invalidated.
Also because of these legal and factual uncertainties, and because pending patent applications are held in secrecy for varying periods in the United States and other countries, even after reasonable investigation we may not know with certainty whether any products that we (or a licensee) may develop will infringe upon any patent or other intellectual property right of a third party. For example, we are aware of certain patents owned by third parties that such parties could attempt to use in the future in efforts to affect our freedom to practice some of the patents that we own or have applied for. Based upon the science and scope of these third-party patents, we believe that the patents that we own or have applied for do not infringe any such third-party patents; however, we cannot know for certain whether we could successfully defend our position, if challenged. We may incur substantial costs if we are required to defend our intellectual property in patent suits brought by third parties. These legal actions could seek damages and seek to enjoin testing, manufacturing and marketing of the accused product or process. In addition to potential liability for significant damages, we could be required to obtain a license to continue to manufacture or market the accused product or process.
Risks Related to Marketing of Our Potential Products
We may not become, or stay, profitable even if our pharmaceutical products are approved for sale.
Even if we obtain regulatory approval to market our oral insulin product outside of Ecuador and India or to market any other prescription pharmaceutical product candidate , many factors may prevent the product from ever being sold in commercial quantities. Some of these factors are beyond our control, such as:
26
· | acceptance of the formulation or treatment by health care professionals and diabetic patients; |
· | the availability, effectiveness and relative cost of alternative diabetes or immunomedicine treatments that may be developed by competitors; and |
· | the availability of third-party (i.e., insurer and governmental agency) reimbursements. |
We will not receive significant revenues from Generex Oral-lyn™ or any of our other pharmaceuticals products that may receive regulatory approval until we can successfully manufacture, market and distribute them in the relevant markets.
Similarly, the successful commercialization of our over-the-counter glucose spray products may be hindered by manufacturing, marketing and distribution limitations.
We have to depend upon others for marketing and distribution of our products, and we may be forced to enter into contracts limiting the benefits we may receive and the control we have over our products. We intend to rely on collaborative arrangements with one or more other companies that possess strong marketing and distribution resources to perform these functions for us. We may not be able to enter into beneficial contracts, and we may be forced to enter into contracts for the marketing and distribution of our products that substantially limit the potential benefits to us from commercializing these products. In addition, we will not have the same control over marketing and distribution that we would have if we conducted these functions ourselves.
We may not be able to compete with treatments now being marketed and developed, or which may be developed and marketed in the future by other companies.
Our products will compete with existing and new therapies and treatments. We are aware of a number of companies currently seeking to develop alternative means of delivering insulin, as well as new drugs intended to replace insulin therapy at least in part. We are also aware of a number of companies currently seeking to develop alternative means of enhancing and suppressing peptides. In the longer term, we also face competition from companies that seek to develop cures for diabetes and other malignant, infectious, autoimmune and allergic diseases through techniques for correcting the genetic deficiencies that underlie such diseases.
Numerous pharmaceutical, biotechnology and drug delivery companies, hospitals, research organizations, individual scientists and nonprofit organizations are engaged in the development of alternatives to our technologies. Some of these companies have greater research and development capabilities, experience, manufacturing, marketing, financial and managerial resources than we do. Collaborations or mergers between large pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies with competing drug delivery technologies could enhance our competitors’ financial, marketing and other resources. Developments by other drug delivery companies could make our products or technologies uncompetitive or obsolete. Accordingly, our competitors may succeed in developing competing technologies, obtaining FDA approval for products or gaining market acceptance more rapidly than we can.
Some of our most significant competitors, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Novo Nordisk, recently announced that they will discontinue development and/or sale of their inhalable forms of insulin. Unlike inhaled insulin formulations, Generex Oral-lyn™ is a buccally absorbed formulation with no residual pulmonary deposition. We believe that our buccal delivery technology offers several advantages over inhaled insulin, including the avoidance of pulmonary inhalation, which requires frequent physician monitoring, ease of use and portability.
If government programs and insurance companies do not agree to pay for or reimburse patients for our pharmaceutical products, our success will be impacted.
Sales of our oral insulin formulation in Ecuador and India and our other potential pharmaceutical products in other markets will depend in part on the availability of reimbursement by third-party payers such as government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. Third-party payers often challenge the price and cost-effectiveness of medical products and services. Governmental approval of health care products does not guarantee that these third-party payers will pay for the products. Even if third-party payers do accept our product, the amounts they pay may not be adequate to enable us to realize a profit. Legislation and regulations affecting the pricing of pharmaceuticals may change before our products are approved for marketing and any such changes could further limit reimbursement.
27
Risks Related to Potential Liabilities
We face significant product liability risks, which may have a negative effect on our financial condition.
The administration of drugs or treatments to humans, whether in clinical trials or commercially, can result in product liability claims whether or not the drugs or treatments are actually at fault for causing an injury. Furthermore, our pharmaceutical products may cause, or may appear to have caused, serious adverse side effects (including death) or potentially dangerous drug interactions that we may not learn about or understand fully until the drug or treatment has been administered to patients for some time. Product liability claims can be expensive to defend and may result in large judgments or settlements against us, which could have a severe negative effect on our financial condition. We maintain product liability insurance in amounts we believe to be commercially reasonable for our current level of activity and exposure, but claims could exceed our coverage limits. Furthermore, due to factors in the insurance market generally and our own experience, we may not always be able to purchase sufficient insurance at an affordable price. Even if a product liability claim is not successful, the adverse publicity and time and expense of defending such a claim may interfere with our business.
Risks Related to the Market for Our Common Stock
Our common stock could be delisted from The NASDAQ Capital Market.
On July 23, 2008, we received notice from The Nasdaq Stock Market that we were not compliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4), which requires us to have a minimum bid price per share of at least $1.00 for thirty (30) consecutive business days. In accordance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(8)(D), we have 180 calendar days, or until January 20, 2009, subject to extension, to regain compliance with this Rule. If, at anytime prior to January 20, 2009, the bid price of our common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum period of ten (10) consecutive business days, we will regain compliance with the Rule.
In the event that we cannot demonstrate compliance with NASDAQ Rule 4310(c)(4) by the specified deadline and are not eligible for an additional compliance period, the staff will notify us that our stock would be delisted, at which time we can appeal the staff’s determination to a Listing Qualifications Panel. Pending the decision of the Listing Qualification Panel, our common stock will continue to trade on the NASDAQ Capital Market. If we are not successful in such an appeal, our stock would likely trade on NASDAQ’s over-the-counter bulletin board, assuming we meet the requisite criteria.
If we fail to maintain compliance with applicable NASDAQ Rules and our stock is delisted from the NASDAQ Capital Market, it may become subject to Penny Stock Regulations and there will be less interest for our stock in the market. This may result in lower prices for our stock and make it more difficult for us to obtain financing.
If our stock is not listed on NASDAQ and fails to maintain a price of $5.00 or more per share, our stock would become subject to the Securities and Exchange Commission's "Penny Stock" rules. These rules require a broker to deliver, prior to any transaction involving a Penny Stock, a disclosure schedule explaining the Penny Stock Market and its risks. Additionally, broker/dealers who recommend Penny Stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors must make a special written suitability determination and receive the purchaser's written agreement to a transaction prior to the sale. In the event our stock becomes subject to these rules, it will become more difficult for broker/dealers to sell our common stock. Therefore, it may be more difficult for us to obtain financing.
The price of our common stock may be volatile.
There may be wide fluctuations in the price of our common stock. These fluctuations may be caused by several factors including:
· | announcements of research activities and technology innovations or new products by us or our competitors; | |
· | changes in market valuation of companies in our industry generally; |
28
· | variations in operating results; | |
· | changes in governmental regulations; | |
· | developments in patent and other proprietary rights; | |
· | public concern as to the safety of drugs or treatments developed by us or others; | |
· | results of clinical trials of our products or our competitors' products; and | |
· | regulatory action or inaction on our products or our competitors' products. |
From time to time, we may hire companies to assist us in pursuing investor relations strategies to generate increased volumes of investment in our common stock. Such activities may result, among other things, in causing the price of our common stock to increase on a short-term basis.
Furthermore, the stock market generally and the market for stocks of companies with lower market capitalizations and small biopharmaceutical companies, like us, have from time to time experienced, and likely will again experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of a particular company.
Provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation could delay or prevent the acquisition or sale of our business.
Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation permits our Board of Directors to designate new series of preferred stock and issue those shares without any vote or action by our stockholders. Such newly authorized and issued shares of preferred stock could contain terms that grant special voting rights to the holders of such shares that make it more difficult to obtain stockholder approval for an acquisition of our business or increase the cost of any such acquisition.
Our recent equity financing will dilute current stockholders and could prevent the acquisition or sale of our business .
The equity financing that we recently entered into will dilute current stockholders. Currently approximately 59,731,390 shares of common stock are issuable upon conversion of the 8% secured convertible notes and exercise of the warrants that we issued on March 31, 2008 (without regard to additional shares which may become issuable due to anti-dilution adjustments or in connection with payments of interest), which represents approximately 54% of the shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the transaction. In addition, we have the option, subject to certain conditions, to repay principal and accrued interest on the notes by converting such amounts into shares of our common stock. Assuming we pay all principal and interest in shares of common stock or the holders of the notes and warrants convert and exercise all of the notes and warrants into shares of common stock, the number of shares of issued and outstanding common stock will increase significantly, and current stockholders will own a smaller percentage of the outstanding common stock of Generex. The issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the notes and warrants will also have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and may adversely affect the market price of the common stock.
In addition, the issuance of shares of common stock in connection with our March 31, 2008 private placement of notes and warrants could have an anti-takeover effect because such issuance will make it more difficult for, or discourage an attempt by, a party to obtain control of Generex by tender offer or other means. The issuance of common stock upon conversion of the notes or exercise of the warrants will increase the number of shares entitled to vote, increase the number of votes required to approve a change of control of Generex, and dilute the interest of a party attempting to obtain control of Generex. As of October 6, 2008, we have issued 9,610,400 shares of common stock in repayment of principal and accrued interest on the notes.
If we raise funds through one or more additional equity financings in the future, it will have a further dilutive effect on existing holders of our shares by reducing their percentage ownership. The shares may be sold at a time when the market price is low because we need the funds. This will dilute existing holders more than if our stock price was higher. In addition, equity financings normally involve shares sold at a discount to the current market price.

Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments.
None.
Item 2. Properties.
Our executive and principal administrative offices occupy approximately 5,000 square feet of office space in the Business Centre at 33 Harbour Square in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. We own the Business Centre, which comprises approximately 9,100 square feet of usable space. The space in the Business Centre that is not used by us is leased to third parties.
We own a laboratory facility in Toronto that we have used for limited production of our oral insulin formulation for clinical purposes, and have completed a pilot manufacturing facility for our insulin and glucose products in the same commercial complex. Our laboratory facility is approximately 2,650 square feet. Our pilot manufacturing facility, which also includes laboratory facilities, is approximately 4,800 square feet. We also own all additional units in the same building where our pilot manufacturing facility is located. These units are currently leased to third parties with the exception of two units being used by us for packaging and storage. These units are reflected in Assets Held for Investments on accompanying consolidated balance sheets. All of these spaces could be used for manufacturing facilities if necessary. We have obtained regulatory approval for the laboratory facility and the pilot manufacturing facility.
We have mortgages on our Toronto properties totaling $3,187,248 at July 31, 2008. These mortgages require the payment of interest, with minimal principal reduction, prior to their due dates. These mortgages currently require an aggregate approximately $26,300 in monthly debt service payments. Aggregate principal maturities for these mortgages will be $1,832,684 in fiscal 2009.
We lease approximately 4,336 square feet of office and laboratory space in Worcester, Massachusetts that Antigen uses for its research and development activities at an annual rent of approximately $156,000. This space is sufficient for Antigen’s present activities.
We do not expect to need additional manufacturing capabilities in Canada related to our insulin product beyond our pilot facility before the end of the current fiscal year. We own an 11,625 square foot building in Brampton, Ontario, which is approximately 25 miles outside Toronto, and a 13,500 square foot building in Mississauga, Ontario, which is about 20 miles from downtown Toronto. Both properties are currently leased to third parties. These properties are reflected in Assets Held for Investments on accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
We could use our other properties to expand research, development or testing of our buccal and immunomedicine products if current facilities prove inadequate for our needs. We also may consider other opportunities to expand our manufacturing capabilities as such opportunities arise.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings.
Subash Chandarana et al. v. Generex Biotechnology Corporation. In February 2001, a former business associate of Pankaj Modi ("Modi") (a former officer of the Company) and an entity called Centrum Technologies Inc. ("CTI") commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against us and Modi seeking, among other things, damages for alleged breaches of contract and tortious acts related to a business relationship between this former associate and Modi that ceased in July 1996. The plaintiffs’ statement of claim also seeks to enjoin the use, if any, by us of three patents allegedly owned by CTI. The three patents are entitled Liquid Formulations for Proteinic Pharmaceuticals, Vaccine Delivery System for Immunization, Using Biodegradable Polymer Microspheres, and Controlled Releases of Drugs or Hormones in Biodegradable Polymer Microspheres. It is our position that the buccal drug delivery technologies which are the subject matter of our research, development, and commercialization efforts, including Generex Oral-lyn™ and the RapidMist™ Diabetes Management System, do not make use of, are not derivative of, do not infringe upon, and are entirely different from the intellectual property identified in the plaintiffs’ statement of claim. On July 20, 2001, we filed a preliminary motion to dismiss the action of CTI as a nonexistent entity or, alternatively, to stay such action on the grounds of want of authority of such entity to commence the action. The plaintiffs brought a cross motion to amend the statement of claim to substitute Centrum Biotechnologies, Inc. ("CBI") for CTI. CBI is a corporation of which 50 percent of the shares are owned by the former business associate and the remaining 50 percent are owned by us. Consequently, the shareholders of CBI are in a deadlock. The court granted our motion to dismiss the action of CTI and denied the plaintiffs’ cross motion without prejudice to the former business associate to seek leave to bring a derivative action in the name of or on behalf of CBI. The former business associate subsequently filed an application with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for an order granting him leave to file an action in the name of and on behalf of CBI against Modi and us. We opposed the application. In September 2003, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted the request and issued an order giving the former business associate leave to file an action in the name of and on behalf of CBI against Modi and us. A statement of claim was served in July 2004. Since that time, the plaintiffs have not taken any steps in furtherance of the proceeding. We are not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.
30
Michael Powell. In August, 2006, Michael Powell commenced an action against certain defendants, including us and certain of our officers, in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, claiming compensatory damages, special and punitive damages and various forms of injunctive and declaratory relief for breach of contract and various business torts. We believe the claims against us are frivolous and completely without merit. We are not a party to any agreement with the plaintiff. Much of the requested relief relates to the plaintiff’s position and ownership interest in and accounting for the expenses of an entity in which Generex has no interest. We have not used any intellectual property or information owned by the other entity. All intellectual property, information and business claimed to be owned or conducted by the entity in which the plaintiff claims an interest are completely unrelated to any product or technology we are currently developing or intend to develop. Therefore, even if the court were to award some declaratory or injunctive relief, we would not be affected. We are defending this action vigorously. We are not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.
We are involved in certain other legal proceedings in addition to those specifically described herein. Subject to the uncertainty inherent in all litigation, we do not believe at the present time that the resolution of any of these legal proceedings is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operations or cash flows.
With respect to all litigation matters, as additional information concerning the estimates used by us becomes known, we reassess each matter’s position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
Our Annual Meeting of Stockholders was held on May 27, 2008. At the meeting, 79,102,998 shares of common stock were represented out of 110,636,091 shares that were entitled to vote. Our stockholders took the following actions at the Annual Meeting:
· | elected all five nominees to the Board of Directors (Proposal 1); | |

Stock Performance Graph
The following information under this heading “Stock Performance Graph” in this Part II, Item 5 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K is not deemed to be “soliciting material” or to be “filed” with the SEC or subject to Regulation 14A or 14C under the Exchange Act, or to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, and will not be deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except to the extent we specifically incorporate it by reference into such a filing.
Set forth below is a line graph comparing the cumulative total return on Generex's common stock with cumulative total returns of the NASDAQ Stock Market (U.S. Companies) and the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index for the period commencing July 31, 2003 and ending on July 31, 2008. The graph assumes that $100 was invested on July 31, 2003, in Generex's common stock, the stocks in the NASDAQ Stock Market (U.S. Companies) and the stocks comprising the NASDAQ Biotechnology Index, and that all dividends were reinvested. Generex's common stock began trading on the NASDAQ SmallCap Market (now known as the NASDAQ Capital Market) on June 5, 2003.
Sales of Unregistered Securities
In the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2008, we sold common stock and other securities in transactions in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
We have issued shares of our common stock to CEOcast, Inc., a consultant, pursuant to an agreement to provide us with investor relation services until August 21, 2008. The agreement was extended until January 22, 2009. During the three months ended July 31, 2008, we issued 50,000 shares of common stock to CEOcast pursuant to this agreement. The sale of such shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(2) thereof. We believe that CEOcast, Inc. is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The certificates issued for the shares of common stock will include a legend to indicate that they are restricted. The sales of such securities did not involve the use of underwriters, and no commissions were paid in connection therewith.
33
During the three months ended July 31, 2008, we issued 24,000 shares of common stock to American Capital Ventures, Inc. pursuant to an agreement with us for financial services. The sale of such shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(2) thereof. We believe that American Capital Ventures, Inc. is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The certificates issued for the shares of common stock will include a legend to indicate that they are restricted. The sales of such securities did not involve the use of underwriters, and no commissions were paid in connection therewith.
During the three months ended July 31, 2008, we issued 37,500 shares of our restricted common stock as partial consideration for the provision of services by The Abajian Group, LLC under a consulting agreement with us. William Abajian, a Business Development Consultant to Generex, is a principal of The Abajian Group, LLC. The sale of such shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(2) thereof. We believe that The Abajian Group, LLC. is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The certificates issued for the shares of common stock will include a legend to indicate that they are restricted. The sales of such securities did not involve the use of underwriters, and no commissions were paid in connection therewith.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
Neither we nor any affiliated purchaser (as defined in Section 240.10 b-18(a)(3) of the Exchange Act) purchased any of our equity securities during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
The following discussion and analysis by management provides information with respect to our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2006, 2007 and 2008. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in the consolidated financial statements and the notes pertaining thereto contained in Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2008 and the information discussed in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors.
Overview of Business
We are engaged primarily in the research, development and commercialization of drug delivery systems and technologies. Our primary focus at the present time is our proprietary technology for the administration of formulations of large molecule drugs to the oral (buccal) cavity using a hand-held aerosol applicator. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigen, we have expanded our focus to include immunomedicines incorporating proprietary vaccine formulations.
We believe that our buccal delivery technology is a platform technology that has application to many large molecule drugs and provides a convenient, non-invasive, accurate and cost-effective way to administer such drugs. We have identified several large molecule drugs as possible candidates for development, including estrogen, heparin, monoclonal antibodies, human growth hormone and fertility hormone, but to date have focused our development efforts primarily on one pharmaceutical product, Generex Oral-lyn™, an insulin formulation administered as a fine spray into the oral cavity using our proprietary hand-held aerosol spray applicator known as RapidMist™. To date, we have received regulatory approval in Ecuador and India for the commercial marketing and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™. In March 2008, we initiated Phase III clinical trials for this product in the U.S. with the first patient screening for such trials at a clinical study site in Texas. The patient screening at other participating clinical sites in the U.S. and Canada is ongoing. Currently over 200 patients have been enrolled in 74 clinical sites around the world, including sites in the United States, Canada, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Russia and Ukraine.
We received Special Access Program (SAP) authorization from Health Canada for a patient-specific, physician-supervised treatment of Type-1 diabetes with Generex Oral-lyn™ in April 2008. SAP provides access to non-marketed drugs for practitioners treating patients with serious or life-threatening conditions when conventional therapies have failed, are not available or unsuitable. We received similar authorization from health authorities in Netherlands in September 2008. We will continue to expand our SAP participation in additional countries around the world.
Using our buccal delivery technology, we also have launched a line of over-the-counter glucose and energy sprays , including Glucose RapidSpray™, GlucoBreak™, and BaBOOM!™ Energy Spray. We believe these products will complement Generex Oral-lyn™ and may provide us with an additional revenue stream prior to the commercialization of Generex Oral-lyn™.
Our subsidiary, Antigen, concentrates on developing proprietary vaccine formulations that work by stimulating the immune system to either attack offending agents (i.e., cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses) or to stop attacking benign elements (i.e., self proteins and allergens). Our immunomedicine products are based on two platform technologies and are in the early stages of development. We continue clinical development of Antigen’s synthetic peptide vaccines designed to stimulate a potent and specific immune response against tumors expressing the HER-2/neu oncogene for patients with HER-2/neu positive breast cancer in a Phase II clinical trial and patients with prostate cancer and against avian influenza in two Phase I trials. Development efforts also are underway for seasonal influenza virus, HIV, HPV, melanoma, ovarian cancer, allergy and Type I diabetes mellitus. We have established collaborations with clinical investigators at academic centers to advance these technologies.
We face competition from other providers of alternate forms of insulin. Some of our most significant competitors, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Novo Nordisk, recently announced that they will discontinue development and/or sale of their inhalable forms of insulin. Generex Oral-lyn™ is not an inhaled insulin; rather, it is a buccally absorbed formulation with no residual pulmonary deposition. We believe that our buccal delivery technology offers several advantages over inhaled insulin, including the avoidance of pulmonary inhalation, which requires frequent physician monitoring, ease of use and portability.
We are a development stage company. From inception through the end of the year ended July 31, 2008, we have received only limited revenues from operations. In the fiscal years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, we received approximately $128,039 and $182,429, respectively, in revenues from sales of Glucose RapidSpray™ . These numbers do not reflect deferred sales to the customers during the respective period with the right of return.
35
We operate in only one segment: the research, development and commercialization of drug delivery systems and technologies for metabolic and immunological diseases.
Accounting for Research and Development Projects
Our major research and development projects are the refinement of our platform buccal delivery technology, our buccal insulin project (Generex Oral-lyn™), our buccal morphine product and Antigen’s peptide immunotherapeutic vaccines.
During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, we expended resources on the clinical testing and commercialization, of our buccal insulin product, Generex Oral-lyn™. In July 2007, we received no objection from the FDA to proceed with our long-term multi-center Phase III study protocol for Generex Oral-lyn™. Late-stage trials involve testing our product with a large number of patients over a significant period of time. The completion of late-stage trials in Canada and eventually the United States may require significantly greater funds than we currently have on hand.
Generex Oral-lyn™ was approved for commercial sale by drug regulatory authorities in Ecuador in May 2005. PharmaBrand handled the commercial launch of Generex Oral-lyn™ in Ecuador in June 2006. While we anticipate generating revenue from sales of Generex Oral-lyn™ in Ecuador, we do not expect that such revenues will be sufficient to sustain our research and development and regulatory activities.
Generex Oral-lyn™ was approved for importation and commercial sale in India in November 2007. We have entered into a licensing and distribution agreement with Shreya Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd. and are working with Shreya to prepare for the commercial launch of the product in India. We received no revenues from the sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ in India in the 2008 fiscal year.
Although we initiated regulatory approval process for our morphine and fentanyl buccal products, we did not expend resources to further this product during our last fiscal year.
During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, we expended resources on research and development relating to Antigen’s peptide immunotherapeutic vaccines and related technologies. One Antigen vaccine is currently in Phase II clinical trials in the United States involving patients with HER-2/neu positive breast cancer, and an Antigen vaccine for H5N1 avian influenza is in Phase I clinical trials conducted at the Lebanese-Canadian Hospital in Beirut. Antigen’s prostate cancer vaccine based on AE37 is currently in Phase I clinical trials in Greece. Preliminary pre-clinical work has commenced with respect to the experimental vaccine for patients with acute myeloid leukemia at Beijing Daopei Hospital in China.
Because of various uncertainties, we cannot predict the timing of completion and commercialization of our buccal insulin or buccal morphine products or Antigen’s peptide immunotherapeutic vaccines or related technologies. These uncertainties include the success of current studies, our ability to obtain the required financing and the time required to obtain regulatory approval even if our research and development efforts are completed and successful, our ability to enter into collaborative marketing and distribution agreements with third-parties, and the success of such marketing and distribution arrangements. For the same reasons, we cannot predict when any products may begin to produce net cash inflows.
Most of our buccal delivery research and development activities to date have involved developing our platform technology for use with insulin. Insubstantial amounts have been expended on projects with other drugs, including morphine and fentanyl, and those projects involved a substantial amount of platform technology development. As a result, we have not made significant distinctions in the accounting for research and development expenses among products, as a significant portion of all research has involved improvements to the platform technology in connection with insulin, which may benefit all of our potential buccal products. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008, approximately 84.6% of our $16,359,030 in research expenses was attributable to insulin and platform technology development, and we did not have any research expenses related to morphine, fentanyl or other buccal projects. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007, approximately 73% of our $11,983,626 in research expenses was attributable to insulin and platform technology development, and we did not have any research expenses related to morphine or other buccal projects.
36
Approximately 15.4% or $2,517,552 of our research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 was related to Antigen's immunomedicine products compared to approximately 27% or $3,181,927 of our research and development expenses for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007. Because these products are in initial phases of clinical trials or early, pre-clinical stage of development (with the exception of the Phase II clinical trials of Antigen HER-2/neu positive breast cancer vaccine that are underway), all of the expenses were accounted for as basic research and no distinctions were made as to particular products. Due to the early stage of development, we cannot predict the timing of completion of any products arising from this technology, or when products from this technology might begin producing revenues.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. It 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.
We consider certain accounting policies related to impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and accrued liabilities to be critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations:
Revenue Recognition. Net sales of Glucose RapidSpray™, BaBOOM!™ Energy Spray and GlucoBreak™ are generally recognized in the period in which the products are delivered. Delivery of the products generally completes the criteria for revenue recognition for the Company. In the event where the customers have the right of return, sales are deferred until the right of return lapses or the product is resold.
Inventory. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the first-in first-out method. Management considers such factors as the amount of inventory on hand and in the distribution channel, estimated time to sell such inventory, inventories shelf life and current market conditions when determining whether the lower cost or market is used. As appropriate, a provision is recorded to reduce inventories to their net realizable value. Inventory also includes the cost of products sold to the customers with the rights of return.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Management reviews for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of property and equipment may not be recoverable under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred based upon expected future cash flows, the loss is recognized in the Statement of Operations.
Intangible Assets. We have intangible assets related to patents. The determination of the related estimated useful lives and whether or not these assets are impaired involves significant judgments. In assessing the recoverability of these intangible assets, we use an estimate of undiscounted operating income and related cash flows over the remaining useful life, market conditions and other factors to determine the recoverability of the asset. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges against these assets.
Estimating accrued liabilities, specifically litigation accruals. Management's current estimated range of liabilities related to pending litigation is based on management's best estimate of future costs. While the final resolution of the litigation could result in amounts different than current accruals, and therefore have an impact on our consolidated financial results in a future reporting period, management believes the ultimate outcome will not have a significant effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
Share-based compensation Management determines value of stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” which revises SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” for stock and options grants to employees. We also follow the guidance of Emerging Issues Task Force 96-18 “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” for equity instruments issued to consultants.

Results of Operations
Year Ended July 31, 2008 Compared to Year Ended July 31, 2007
Our net loss for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2008 (fiscal 2008) was $36,228,991 versus $23,504,958 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2007 (fiscal 2007). The increase in net loss in fiscal 2008 versus fiscal 2007 is primarily due to the increase in research and development expenses in connection with preparations for global Phase III clinical trials of Generex Oral-lyn™ at sites in the United States, Canada, and Europe and the increase in general and administrative expenses. Our operating loss for fiscal 2008 increased to $33,445,470 compared to $24,876,102 in fiscal 2007. The increase resulted from an increase in research and development expenses (to $16,359,030 from $11,983,626), an increase in selling expense (to $1,562,258 from $693,309) and increases in general and administrative expenses (to $15,597,048 from $12,317,742). Our net revenues decreased to $124,891 in fiscal 2008 from $180,198 in fiscal 2007. The decrease in net revenue is attributable to a reduction in sales of Glucose RapidSpray™ in fiscal 2008 compared to stocking sales in fiscal 2007.
The increase in research and development expenses in fiscal 2008 reflects an increased level of research and development of our oral insulin product and platform technology and additional clinical trials and increased research and development efforts of Antigen. The increase in general and administrative expenses reflects the increase in legal, financial, consulting expenses, an increase in executive and director’s compensation due to cash and non-cash bonuses and one time impairment change relating to patents write-off. The increase was offset by the reduction in advertising and travel expenses. The selling expenses are associated with the commercial sales of Glucose RapidSpray™ and BaBOOM Energy Spray that began in fiscal 2007.
Our interest expense in fiscal 2008 increased to $4,280,558 compared to interest expense of $849,548 in fiscal 2007 due to interest paid on the secured convertible notes issued in March 2008 in connection with a private placement. In fiscal 2008, we did not incur loss on extinguishment of debt reflecting monthly amortization payments due on the secured convertible notes. In fiscal 2007, our loss on extinguishment of debt was $237,162. Our interest income decreased to $1,166,439 in fiscal 2008 compared to $2,180,380 in the last fiscal year primarily due to substantially lower market interest rates. We received higher income from rental operations (net of expense) of $330,533 in fiscal 2008 compared to $277,474 in fiscal 2007.
Results of Operations
Year Ended July 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended July 31, 2006
We had a net loss of $23,504,958 for the year ended July 31, 2007 (fiscal 2007) compared to a net loss of $67,967,204 for the year ended July 31, 2006 (fiscal 2006). The decrease in net loss for fiscal 2007 is attributable to the fact that in fiscal 2007 we did not have interest expense and loss on extinguishment of debt similar to that which we incurred during fiscal 2006 fiscal year in connection with the issuance of convertible debentures. Our operation loss for fiscal 2007 increased to $24,876,102 compared to $18,705,983 in operating loss for fiscal 2006. The increase in our fiscal 2007 operating loss resulted from a significant increase in research and development expenses (to $11,983,626 from $6,554,393), an increase in our selling and marketing expenses (to $693,309 from $56,028) and a slight increase in general and administrative expenses (to $12, 317,742 from $12,270,562). Our revenue, excluding the deferred revenue, increased slightly from $175,000 in fiscal 2006 to $180,198 in fiscal 2007 and is attributable to the sales of our over-the-counter products.
The increase in general and administrative expenses for fiscal 2007 is due primarily to the increase of non cash compensation to financial consultants in fiscal 2007 compared to compensation paid in 2006, an increase in legal, litigation and accounting expenses and an increase in travel. The increase was offset by the reduction in executive and director compensation and the decrease in office and general expenses.
The increase in research and development expenses for fiscal 2007 reflects increased levels of research and development activities in connection with commencement of Phase III clinical trials in Canada and higher level of clinical activities of Antigen.
Our interest expense in fiscal 2007 decreased to $849,548, compared to interest expense of $37,715,275 in fiscal 2006 relating to interest paid in connection with convertible debentures entered into during the last fiscal year. Our interest and miscellaneous income increased to $2,180,380 in fiscal 2007, compared to $768,098 in fiscal 2006, primarily due to substantially higher cash and short term investment balances during fiscal 2007. Our loss on extinguishment of debt, also incurred in connection with convertible debentures, was $237,162 in fiscal 2007, compared to $12,550,565 in fiscal 2006. We received a slightly higher income from rental operations (net of expense) of $277,474 in fiscal 2007, compared to $236,521 in fiscal 2006.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Resources
Sources of Liquidity
To date we have financed our development stage activities primarily through private placements of our common stock and securities convertible into our common stock.
At July 31, 2008, we had cash and short-term investments of approximately $26 million, a decrease of $9 million from the balance as of the end of the prior fiscal year. All of our short-term investments represent investment in high-grade auction rate securities. The continued negative conditions in the global credit markets have prevented some investors from liquidating their holdings of auction rate securities because the amount of securities submitted for sale has exceeded the amount of purchase orders for such securities. In the event we need or desire to access these funds, we will not be able to do so until a future auction on these investments is successful or a buyer is found outside the auction process. The relative buying and selling interest of market participants in our auction rate securities and in the auction rate securities market as a whole will vary over time, and such variations may be affected by, among other things, news relating to the issuer, the attractiveness of alternative investments, the perceived risk of owning the security (whether related to credit, liquidity or any other risk), the accounting or tax treatment accorded the instruments, reactions to regulatory actions or press reports, financial reporting cycles and market sentiment generally. Shifts of demand in response to any one or simultaneous particular events cannot be predicted and may be short-lived or exist for longer periods.
It is possible that the potential lack of liquidity in our auction rate security investments could adversely affect our liquidity and our ability to fund our operations. We cannot predict whether future auctions related to auction rate securities will be successful. We are currently seeking alternatives for reducing exposure to the auction rate market, but may not be able to identify any such alternative. If we are not able to monetize some or all of our auction rate securities, we could suffer a loss and such loss could have a material adverse effect on our ability to finance our future ongoing operations. On August 15, 2008, the SEC announced that it had reached a preliminary settlement in principle with the financial institution through which we hold our auction rate securities, which included a plan to restore liquidity to the financial institution’s customers who invested in auction rate securities. Under the settlement, the financial institution is required to offer to purchase the auction rate securities of its customers (other than individual investors, small businesses, and charitable organizations) in a buy back that will begin no later than June 10, 2009 and conclude by June 30, 2009. In addition, the financial institution is required by the settlement to offer no net loans that will remain outstanding until the auction rate securities are repurchased. The preliminary settlement is subject to finalization and SEC approval. To date, we have not received confirmation from the financial institution of the settlement terms.
We believe that the commencement of Phase III clinical trial trials for Oral-lyn™ in the United States and Canada is a significant milestone event. We also anticipate that the commercial launch of Oral-lyn™ in India, which is expected in before the end of calendar 2008, will provide us with revenue in fiscal 2009. We believe that the successful commercial launch of Oral-lyn™ in India, will enhance our ability to access additional sources of funding. For instance, in August 2008, we entered into a product licensing and distribution agreement with Dong Sung Pharm Co. Ltd. for the importation, marketing, distribution and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ in South Korea. Under this agreement, we will receive an upfront non-refundable license fee of $500,000 and a non-refundable license fee of $500,000 at such time as we obtain governmental approval for the importation, marketing, distribution and sale of the product in South Korea is obtained. When it places its first order of Oral-lyn™, Dong-Sung also will make a $500,000 pre-payment against which product purchases will be applied.
Further we anticipate that our principal payment obligations under the convertible notes issued in the March 2008 private placement will be largely satisfied without cash payments through conversion of principal into shares of our common stock as permitted by the notes. In addition, we may receive additional proceeds from the exercise of warrants issued in the March 2008 private placement. As of October 1, 2008, all of the warrants issued in March 2008 became exercisable.
As of July 31, 2008, we believed that our anticipated cash position was sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months based on the pace of our planned activities. Beyond that, we may require additional funds to support our working capital requirements or for other purposes.
39
We will continue to require substantial funds to continue research and development, including preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates, and to commence sales and marketing efforts if the FDA or other regulatory approvals are obtained. Management may seek to meet all or some of our operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placement of our common stock, preferred stock offerings and offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments. We filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) to register an indeterminate number of shares of common stock and preferred stock and an indeterminate number of warrants and units, the aggregate initial offering price of which is not to exceed $150,000,000, but we have not offered any shares pursuant to this registration statement to date. Management is actively pursuing industry collaboration activities, including product licensing and specific project financing. We are also examining options for the procurement of a reliable long-term insulin supply for our future commercial needs.
While we have generally been able to raise equity capital as required, our cash balances were very low during portions of fiscal 2005 and unforeseen problems with our clinical program, manufacturing and commercialization plans in Ecuador and India or materially negative developments in general economic conditions could interfere with our ability to raise additional equity capital as needed, or materially adversely affect the terms upon which such capital is available. If we are unable to raise additional capital as needed, we could be required to “scale back” or otherwise revise our business plan. Any significant scale back of operations or modification of our business plan due to a lack of funding could be expected to affect our prospects materially and adversely.
Financing – 8% Secured Convertible Notes and Warrants
On March 31, 2008, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement and related documents with existing institutional investors relating to a private placement of 8% secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $20,650,000. In connection with the financing, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement that required us to file a registration statement with the SEC by April 30, 2008 covering the resale of the shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the Notes and Warrants.
Also in connection with the financing, we and our subsidiaries entered into a Security Agreement and related documents pledging and granting security interests to the investors in all of the non-real estate assets of Generex and our subsidiaries to secure all of our obligations to the investors, including our obligations pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes and Warrants issued thereunder. With limited exceptions, the Security Agreement prohibits us from incurring future debt until the Notes are paid or converted. An “Event of Default” under the Notes constitutes an “Event of Default” under the Security Agreement.
The Notes have an 18-month maturity and amortize over fifteen months in fifteen equal monthly installments beginning on August 1, 2008. We may pay installments of principal and accrued interest in cash or, at our option, in shares of our common stock subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. If we elect to pay principal and interest in shares of our common stock, the value of each share of common stock will be equal to the lower of (a) the conversion price, and (b) 90% of the average of the volume weighted average prices of the common stock on each of the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the applicable payment date.
At the option of each Noteholder, the principal amount outstanding under each Note is convertible at any time after March 31, 2008 into shares of our common stock at the initial conversion price of $1.21, which represents 110% of the closing bid price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the closing date, March 31, 2008.
Each Note lists certain “Events of Default”, which include, without limitation, any default in the payment of principal of, interest on or other charges in respect of the Notes as and when they become due and payable, and our failure to observe or perform any other covenant, agreement or warranty contained in, or otherwise commit any breach or default of any provision of Note, the Securities Purchase Agreement or the Security Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the holder may require us to redeem all or any portion of a Note by delivering written notice thereof to us, at a default redemption price as calculated pursuant to certain formulas set forth in the Note. Until the default redemption price (together with any interest thereon) is paid in full, the amount of any Note submitted for redemption (together with any interest thereon) may be converted, in whole or in part, by the holder into common stock. In the event of a partial redemption, the principal amount redeemed shall be deducted from the installment amounts relating to the applicable installment date(s) as set forth in the notice of default and redemption.
The aggregate amount payable upon an Event of Default is the default redemption price. The default redemption price is calculated as the greater of:
(i) | the product of (A) the sum of the principal amount to be redeemed together with accrued and unpaid interest and unpaid late charges with respect to such principal amount and (B) 135%, and |
40
(ii) | the product of |
(X) | the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid, plus all other accrued and unpaid interest thereof, divided by the conversion price on in effect at such time as the holder delivers an Event of Default redemption notice and |
(Y) | the product of (1) the 135% and (2) the greater of (I) the closing sale price of our common stock on the date immediately preceding such Event of Default, (II) the closing sale price of our common stock on the date immediately after such Event of Default and (III) the closing sale price of the common stock on the date the holder delivers the Event of Default redemption notice. |
Beginning from and after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the interest rate on the Notes will accrue at the rate of 16% per annum, or such lower maximum amount of interest permitted to be charged under applicable law.
The Securities Purchase Agreement provided that unless and until we obtained shareholder approval of the issuance of securities pursuant to this transaction, in no event could we (i) repay the principal amount due and owing under the Notes with shares of common stock or (ii) issue securities at a price per share less than the conversion price of the Notes or exercise price of the Warrants. A proposal to approve the issuance of securities pursuant to this transaction was approved by our shareholders at our Annual Meeting held on May 27, 2008.
We are prohibited from issuing any variable priced equity or variable priced equity-linked securities as long as any Note is outstanding. We also are prohibited from issuing any equity or equity-linked securities until 90 days after the effective date of a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the Notes and Warrants, with limited exceptions. In addition, until the later of (i) 12 months after the effective date of such a registration statement and (ii) the date the Notes have been repaid or converted in full, the investors will have the right to participate in any capital raising transactions that we undertake.
The Warrants issued in connection with the March 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement include:
(i) | Series A and A-1 Warrants, which are exercisable for a period of 7 years into an aggregate of 75% of the number of shares of our common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes, with the Series A Warrants being exercisable into 5,257,729 shares immediately upon issuance and the Series A-1 warrants being exercisable into 7,541,857 shares beginning October 1, 2008; | |
(ii) | Series B Warrants, which are exercisable beginning October 1, 2008 into 100% of the shares of our common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes (initially 17,066,166 shares) and remaining exercisable for a period of 18 months after a registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Notes and Warrants is declared effective by the SEC; and | |
(iii) | Series C Warrants, which are exercisable for a period of 7 years beginning October 1, 2008, but only to the extent that the Series B Warrant are exercised and only in the same percentage that the Series B Warrants are exercised, up to a maximum percentage of 75% of the number of shares of our common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes (initially a maximum of 12,799,580 shares). |
The initial exercise price of each Series A Warrant, Series A-1 Warrant, Series B Warrant and Series C Warrant is $1.21.
In accordance with the terms of the Notes and the Warrants, no holder may convert a Note or exercise a Warrant if after giving effect to such conversion or exercise, as the case may be, such holder would beneficially own greater than 4.90% or 4.99%, as to certain holders, and 9.90% or 9.99%, as to other holders, of outstanding shares of our common stock after giving effect to such conversion or exercise, as applicable.
The conversion price of the Notes and the exercise price of the Warrants are subject to a full-ratchet adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including the issuance by us of securities at a price per share less than the conversion price or exercise price then in effect, as applicable. If we issue shares of common stock or options exercisable for or securities convertible into common stock at an effective price per share of common stock less than the conversion or exercise price then in effect, the conversion or exercise price will be reduced to the effective price of the new issuance.
41
In addition, in connection with the transaction, we (a) reduced the strike price of our outstanding common stock purchase warrants that are held by the investors in the March 2008 private placement and certain other warrant holders and that have strike prices ranging from $1.25 to $3.00, to $1.10, which equals the closing bid price of the common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on the closing date, March 31, 2008, and (b) extended the expiration date of such warrants to March 31, 2015. The holders of those warrants will waive all anti-dilution entitlements they have in respect of any of our previously issued securities with respect to the issuance or conversion of the Notes, the payment of the installments or interest in shares of the common stock, or the issuance or exercise of the Warrants.
At July 31, 2008, we recorded $20,650,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding. Interest on the principal amount outstanding under the Notes will accrue at a rate of eight percent (8%) per annum. As of July 31, 2008, we incurred interest expense of $4,048,117 related to the Notes that includes non cash accounting expense of $3,483,684 relating to debt discount.
At July 31, 2008, outstanding Warrants issued in connection with the March 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement and the repriced warrants described above were as follows:
Date Issued | Aggregate No. of Shares Unexercised | Exercise Price* | Exercise Date | Expiration Date | |||||||||
March 31, 2008 | 12,697,024 | $ | 1.10 | March 31, 2008 | March 31, 2015 | ||||||||
March 31, 2008 | 5,257,729 | $ | 1.21 | March 31, 2008 | March 31, 2015 | ||||||||
March 31, 2008 | 20,341,437 | $ | 1.21 | October 1, 2008 | October 1, 2015 | ||||||||
March 31, 2008 | 17,066,117 | $ | 1.21 | October 1, 2008 | October 1, 2009 |
*Subject to anti-dilution adjustments upon issuance of securities at a price per share of common stock less than the then applicable exercise price or the market price of our common stock at that time, whichever is lower.
Registration Statement
On April 30, 2008, we filed a registration statement with the SEC on Form S-3 covering the resale of all the shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to the Notes and Warrants. We received comments on the registration statement from the SEC Staff and filed amendments to the registration statement. In the third amendment, we reduced the number of shares to be registered to an aggregate of 30,191,665 shares, which number is equal to 30% of our public float as measured prior to the March private placement and includes:
· | 22,527,275 shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of, and as interest payments on, the Notes (120%); |
· | 6,309,275 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series A Warrants issued to the holders of the Notes; and |
· | 1,355,117 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of some of the Series A-1 Warrants. |
The registration statement, as amended, was declared effective on July 29, 2008.
Payments on Notes
In July and August 2008, we entered into waiver and consent agreements with the Noteholders to allow us to convert some or all of the installment amounts due on the Notes on the August 1st, September 1st and October 1st installment dates into shares of our common stock, subject to certain conditions. We sought waivers from the Noteholders due to our failure to meet certain conditions precedent to the conversion of installment amounts under the Notes as of the August 1st installment notice date, including:
42
· | the registration statement for the resale of all of the shares of common stock underlying the Notes and the Warrants was not effective at least thirty days prior to the installment notice date of August 1, 2008; and |
· | we failed to comply with the minimum bid price requirement of Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4) of The Nasdaq Stock Market. |
Pursuant to the consent and waiver agreements, all of the Noteholders, with the exception of Iroquois Master Fund Ltd. and Iroquois Capital Opportunity Fund, LP (together, the “Iroquois Funds”), agreed to waive satisfaction of (i) the effective registration statement requirement with respect the September 1, 2008 installment date, and (ii) the listing maintenance condition with respect to the September 1, 2008 and October 1, 2008 installment dates. Thus, we converted the installment amounts due on each of the September 1st and October 1st installment dates into shares of our common stock. The Iroquois Funds agreed to waive satisfaction of the two conditions precedent to our conversion of installments amounts with respect the September 1, 2008 installment date such that we converted the September 1, 2008 installment amount due to the Iroquois Funds into shares of our common stock.
In addition, subject to certain conditions, three of the investors - Cranshire Capital, L.P., Portside Growth and Opportunity Fund, and Smithfield Fiduciary LLC -, consented to our conversion and redemption, as applicable, of the installment amount due on August 1, 2008 as follows:
· | On the August 1st installment date, we paid the accrued and unpaid interest in cash. |
· | We paid the balance of the August 1st installment amount in shares of our common stock as follows: |
· | 50% of the shares were issued at the same time and in the same manner as the shares issued in payment of the September 1, 2008 installment amount; and |
· | 50% of the shares were issued at the same time and in the same manner as the shares issued in payment of the October 1, 2008 installment amount. |
· | The shares issued in respect of the August 1st installment amount were calculated using the lower of: |
· | the then applicable conversion price, |
· | the price computed as 90% of the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the common stock on each of the twenty consecutive trading days immediately preceding August 1, 2008 and |
· | the price computed as 90% of the arithmetic average of the VWAP of the common stock on each of the twenty consecutive trading days immediately preceding the delivery or deemed delivery of our installment notice with respect to the installment amount due on September 1, 2008 or October 1, 2008, as applicable. |
Another investor, Rockmore Investment Master Fund Ltd, consented to our conversion and redemption, as the case may be, of the August 1st installment amount in the manner described above, except that we paid 50% of the principal balance of the August 1st installment amount plus accrued and unpaid interest in cash on August 1st, andwe paid the remaining50% of the principal balance of the August 1st installment amount in shares of common stock, delivering half of such shares together with the September 1, 2008 installment amount and half of such shares together with the October 1, 2008 installment amount.
We obtained similar waivers from all investors in respect to our November 1, 2008 installment amount.
As of October 6, 2008, we have issued 9,610,400 shares of common stock and paid $941,100 in cash to repay Note principal and accrued interest in the aggregate amount of $4,946,516.
43
Because of the decrease in our stock price since the filing of the registration statement required under the Notes, we believe that the registration statement does not likely include a sufficient number of shares to allow us to make all of the remaining principal and interest payments in shares rather than in cash. We believe that we will be able to negotiate relief from the requirement that an additional registration statement be filed the near future to comply with the condition precedent under the Notes because all of the shares we would issue in the absence of a registration statement would be eligible for resale by the investors pursuant to Rule 144. (As of October 1, 2008, the Series A-1, Series B and Series C Warrants became exercisable. To the extent that the holders exercise the Series A-1, Series B and Series C Warrants pursuant to the cashless exercise feature contained therein, the holders will have satisfied the holding period mandated by the SEC under Rule 144.) As of the filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, however, we have not negotiated such arrangements and it is possible that we will need to pay the majority of the remaining principal and interest on the Notes in cash.
With respect to our noncompliance with Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4), which requires us to have a minimum bid price per share of at least $1.00 for 30 consecutive business days, we have 180 calendar days, or until January 20, 2009, to regain compliance with the Rule. If, at anytime prior to January 20, 2009, the bid price of our common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum period of ten consecutive business days, we will regain compliance with the Rule. In addition, assuming that the we meet the initial listing criteria, we may seek an additional 180 calendar day period to regain compliance. We believe that as our late-stage clinical trials of Generex Oral-lyn™ progress in the United States, Canada, Europe and certain countries in Eastern Europe, investor confidence in Generex will increase, which would have a positive effect on our stock price and enable us to meet the minimum bid price requirement under Marketplace Rule 4310(c)(4). To the extent that we have not achieved compliance with the Rule by the December 1st installment notice date, we will seek further waivers from the Noteholders with respect to this condition.
Cash Flows for the Year Ended July 31, 2008
For the year ended July 31, 2008, we used $28,309,464 in cash to fund our operating activities. The use for operating activities included a net loss of $36,228,991, a net increase in inventory and inventory deposits of $1,345,939, a $30,701 increase in accounts receivable, offset by an increase of $762,505 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, an increase of $92,481 in deferred revenue and a decrease in other current assets of $53,687.
The use of cash was offset by non-cash increases of approximately $1,084,919 related to depreciation and amortization, $741,690 write-off of impaired patents, $1,260,263 in stock-based compensation to employees, $1,611,882 in stock-based compensation for services to consultants, $205,056 in amortization of the loan origination fee and deferred debt issuance cost and $3,483,684 of amortization of debt discount related to the convertible note transaction.
We had net cash flows from investing activities of $4,920,847 in the year ended July 31, 2008, primarily consisting of $28,307,895 in proceeds from maturity of short term investments and $51,219 in changes in deposits. This was offset by payments for property and equipment of $57,136, cost incurred for patents of $232,760 and re-purchase of short term investments of $23,148,371.
We had net cash flows from financing activities of $19,651,109 in the year ended July 31, 2008. Proceeds from convertible notes were $20,450,000 and proceeds from the exercise of stock options and warrants were $391,790. We made payments on our notes payable and long-term debt of $812,225, and repurchased shares of our common stock from a single stockholder for $378,456
Our net working capital at July 31, 2008 decreased from July 31, 2007 by $14,036,931 to $14,377,753, which was attributed largely to our fiscal 2008 loss offset by the net cash flows from our financing activities.
Funding Requirements
We expect to devote substantial resources to obtaining regulatory approval of Generex Oral-lyn™ in the U.S., Canada and Europe and to commercializing Generex Oral-lyn™ in India and Ecuador. We also will devote resources to obtaining approval for the importation, marketing and commercialization of Generex Oral-lyn™ in other countries where we have licensed distributors. In addition, we will expend resources on further clinical development of our immunotherapeutic vaccines. Our future funding requirements and our ability to raise additional capital will depend on factors that include:
44
· | the timing and amount of expense incurred to complete our clinical trials; |
· | the costs and timing of the regulatory process as we seek approval of our products in development; |
· | the advancement of our products in development; |
· | our ability to generate new relationships with industry partners throughout the world that will provide us with regulatory assistance and long-term commercialization opportunities; |
· | the timing, receipt and amount of sales, if any, from Generex Oral-lyn™ in India and Ecuador; |
· | the timing, receipt and amount of sales, if any, from our over-the-counter products; |
· | the cost of manufacturing (paid to third parties) of our licensed products, and the cost of marketing and sales activities of those products; |
· | the costs of prosecuting, maintaining, and enforcing patent claims, if any claims are made; |
· | our ability to maintain existing collaborative relationships and establish new relationships as we advance our products in development; and |
· | the receptivity of the financial market to biopharmaceutical companies. |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors, and we do not have any non-consolidated special purpose entities.

Convertible debt obligations represent scheduled principal and interest payments on our 8% secured convertible notes. Remaining principal of $20,650,000 is payable in monthly installments, through September 2009. Principal may be paid, at our option, in cash or shares of our common stock, subject to the satisfaction of certain equity conditions delineated in the notes. Because investors may convert principal into common stock, at any time, at their option, the timing of principal and interest payments may accelerate relative to this schedule.
45
Related Transactions
Prior to January 1, 1999, a portion of our general and administrative expenses resulted from transactions with affiliated persons, and a number of capital transactions also involved affiliated persons. Although these transactions were not the result of "arms-length" negotiations, we do not believe that this fact had a material impact on our results of operations or financial position. Prior to December 31, 1998, we classified certain payments to executive officers for compensation and expense reimbursements as "Research and Development - related party" and "General and Administrative - related party" because the executive officers received such payments through personal services corporations rather than directly. After December 31, 1998, these payments have been and will continue to be accounted for as though the payments were made directly to the officers, and not as a related party transaction. With the exception of our arrangement with our management company described below, we do not foresee a need for, and therefore do not anticipate, any related party transactions in the current fiscal year.
On May 3, 2001, we advanced $334,300 to each of three senior officers, who are also our stockholders, in exchange for promissory notes. These notes bore interest at 8.5% per annum and were payable in full on May 1, 2002. These notes were guaranteed by a related company owned by these officers and secured by a pledge of 2,500,000 shares of our common stock owned by this related company. On June 3, 2002, our Board of Directors extended the maturity date of the loans to October 1, 2002. The other terms and conditions of the loans and guaranty remained unchanged and in full force and effect. As of July 31, 2002, the balance outstanding on these notes, including accrued interest, was $1,114,084. Pursuant to a decision made by the Compensation Committee as of August 30, 2002, these loans were satisfied through the application of 592,716 shares of pledged stock, at a value of $1.90 per share, which represented the lowest closing price during the sixty days prior to August 30, 2002.
On December 9, 2005, our Board of Directors approved a one-time recompense payment in the aggregate amount of $1,000,000 for each of Ms. Gluskin, our Chairwoman, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Ms. Rose Perri, our Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary, in recognition of the company’s failure to remunerate each of Ms. Gluskin and Ms. Perri in each of the fiscal years ended July 31, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 in a fair and reasonable manner commensurate with comparable industry standards and Ms. Gluskin’s and Ms. Perri’s duties, responsibilities and performance during such years. The payment of such amount to each of Ms. Gluskin and Ms. Perri will be made (a) in cash at such time or times and in such amounts as determined solely by Ms. Gluskin or Ms. Perri, as applicable, and/or (b) in shares of our common stock at such time or times as determined by Ms. Gluskin or Ms. Perri, as applicable, provided that the conversion price for any such shares shall be equal to the average closing price of our common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market for the 20 successive trading days immediately preceding, but not including, December 9, 2005. The amounts were not paid as of July 31, 2008 with the exception of $415,742.30 that was used by Ms. Perri to repay Note Receivable, Due from Related Party. The amount was due from EBI, Inc., a shareholder of the Company that is controlled by the estate of the Company’s former Chairman of the Board, Mark Perri. The note was not interest bearing, unsecured and did not have any fixed terms of repayment. The note was extended to EBI, Inc. in May 1997.
Real Estate Transactions: On August 7, 2002, we purchased real estate with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.6 million from an unaffiliated party. In connection with that transaction, Angara Enterprises, Inc., a licensed real estate broker that is an affiliate of Ms. Gluskin received a commission from the proceeds of the sale to the seller in the amount of 3% of the purchase price, or $45,714. We believe that this is less than the aggregate commission which would have been payable if a commission had been negotiated with an unaffiliated broker on an arm's length basis.
On December 9, 2005, our Board of Directors approved the grant to Ms. Perri of a right of first refusal in respect of any sale, transfer, assignment or other disposition of either or both real properties municipally known as 1740 Sismet Road, Mississauga, Ontario and 98 Stafford Drive, Brampton, Ontario (collectively, the “Properties”). We granted Ms. Perri this right in recognition of the fair market value transfer to us during the fiscal year ended July 31, 1998 by Ms. Perri (or parties related to her) of the Properties.
We utilize a management company to manage all of our real properties. The property management company is owned by Ms. Perri, Ms. Gluskin and the estate of Mark Perri, our former Chairman of the Board. In the fiscal years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, we paid the management company approximately $54,473 and $47,832, respectively, in management fees. We believe that the amounts paid to the management company approximate the rates that would be charged by a non-affiliated property management company.
46
Legal Fees. David Wires, a former director, is a partner of the firm Wires Jolley LLP. Wires Jolley represents us in various matters. During fiscal 2008, we paid approximately $44,000 in fees to Wires Jolley. We continue to use Wires Jolley and expect to pay legal fees in similar amounts to the firm in fiscal 2009.
Consulting Fees. Peter Amanatides, a former director, is the Senior Vice-President and Chief Operating Officer of PharmaLogika, Inc., a private consulting firm in the pharmaceuticals regulatory field. At July 31, 2008, we owed a balance of $50,000 in fees to PharmaLogika for services rendered. We do not expect to pay any further fees to PharmaLogika going forward. Mr. Amanatides is neither a director nor a shareholder of PharmaLogika.
Private Placement of Notes and Warrants. One of the institutional investors in the March 2008 private placement of the Notes and Warrants was Cranshire Capital, L.P. Cranshire purchased Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 and received Series A Warrants initially exercisable for 1,273,058 shares of common stock, Series A-1 Warrants initially exercisable for 1,826,115 shares, Series B Warrants initially exercisable for 4,132,231 and Series C Warrants initially exercisable for 3,099,173. On April 9, 2008, following the closing of the March 2008 private placement, Cranshire jointly filed a Schedule 13G with Downsview Capital, Inc. and Mitchell P. Kopin reporting beneficial ownership of more than 5% of our outstanding shares of common stock. A description of the March 2008 private placement and the Notes and Warrants is set forth above the heading “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Resources - Secured Convertible Notes and Warrants.”
New Accounting Pronouncements
We adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), on August 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes”, and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition classification, interest and penalties accounting in interim periods disclosure and transition.
Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements or adjustments to our deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance. Our evaluation was performed for the tax years ended July 31, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of July 31, 2008.
We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it has been classified in the financial statements as general and administrative expense.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged. Any amounts recognized upon adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. On November 15, 2007, the FASB granted a one year deferral for non-financial assets and liabilities to comply with SFAS No. 157, however, the effective date for financial assets remains intact. We are currently evaluating the impact of this statement on our results of operations or financial position.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “Establishing the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”) to permit all entities to choose to elect to measure eligible financial instruments at fair value. The decision whether to elect the fair value option may occur for each eligible item either on a specified election date or according to a preexisting policy for specified types of eligible items. However, that decision must also take place on a date on which criteria under SFAS 159 occurs. Finally, the decision to elect the fair value option shall be made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, except in certain circumstances. An entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 applies to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted for an entity that has also elected to apply the provisions of SFAS 157. We are currently evaluating the impact of this statement on our results of operations or financial position.
47
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”). This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. We are currently evaluating the impact of this statement on our results of operations or financial position.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. We are currently evaluating the impact of this statement on our results of operations or financial position.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS 161 amends SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to amend and expand the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is encouraged. We are currently evaluating the impact of this statement on our results of operations or financial position.
In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board auditing amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." We do not expect SFAS 162 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities,” in June 2008. Securities participating in dividends with common stock according to a formula are participating securities. This FSP determined unvested shares of restricted stock and stock units with nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities. Participating securities require the “two-class” method to be used to calculate basic earnings per share. This method lowers basic earnings per common share. This FSP takes effect in the first quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented and will be effective for Generex on August 1, 2009. We do not expect FSP EITF 03-6-1 to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
The FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlements),” in May 2008. This FSP requires a portion of this type of convertible debt to be recorded as equity and to record interest expense on the debt portion at a rate that would have been charged on nonconvertible debt with the same terms. This FSP takes effect in the first quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. It will effective for the Generex on August 1, 2009. This FSP will apply to our convertible debentures. We are currently evaluating how it may affect our consolidated financial statements.

Item. 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in the exchange rates between U.S. and Canadian currencies and with changes in the interest rates related to our fixed rate debt. We do not believe that any of these risks will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our auction rate securities. During last fiscal year, investment banks were reporting an inability to successfully obtain subscribers for high credit quality auction rate securities. As of July 31, 2008, we held such auction rate securities with a par value totaling $8.9 million. In the event we need access to the funds invested in these securities, we will not be able to liquidate these securities until a future auction of these securities is successful, they are refinanced and redeemed by the issuers, or a buyer is found outside of the auction process.
At the present time, we maintain our cash in short-term government or government guaranteed instruments, short-term commercial paper, and interest bearing bank deposits or demand bank deposits which do not earn interest. A substantial majority of these instruments and deposits are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the exception of funds denominated in Canadian dollars on deposit in Canadian banks to meet short-term operating needs in Canada. At the present time, with the exception of professional fees and costs associated with the conduct of clinical trials in the United States and Europe, substantially all of our operating expense obligations are denominated in Canadian dollars. We do not presently employ any hedging or similar strategy intended to mitigate against losses that could be incurred as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates between U.S. and Canadian currencies.
As of July 31, 2008, we had fixed rate debt totaling $3,187,248. This amount consists of the following:
Loan Amount | Interest Rate per Annum | ||||
446,115 | 6.82 | % | |||
276,602 | 6.82 | % | |||
676,485 | 7.60 | % | |||
390,800 | 8.50 | % | |||
209,530 | 10 | % | |||
1,187,716 | 6.07 | % | |||
3,187,248 | Total |
These debt instruments mature from August 2008 through June 2011. As our fixed rate debt instruments mature, we will likely refinance such debt at the existing market interest rates which may be more or less than interest rates on the maturing debt. Since this debt is fixed rate debt, if interest rates were to increase 100 basis points prior to maturity, there would be no impact on earnings or cash flows.
We have neither issued nor own any long-term debt instruments, or any other financial instruments, for trading purposes and as to which we would be subject to material market risks.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Generex Biotechnology Corporation
(A Development Stage Company)
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Generex Biotechnology Corporation (a Development Stage Company) as of July 31, 2008 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ equity and comprehensive income, and cash flows for year then ended and for the period November 5, 1995 (date of inception) to July 31, 2008. We also have audited Generex Biotechnology Corporation’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Generex Biotechnology Corporation’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
51
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Generex Biotechnology Corporation as of July 31, 2008 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for year then ended and for the period November 5, 1995 (date of inception) to July 31, 2008 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, Generex Biotechnology Corporation maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2008, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Schedule II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic consolidated financial statements. This schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied to the basic consolidated financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole.

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 - Organization and Business:
Generex Biotechnology Corporation (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. are engaged in the research and development of drug delivery systems and technology. Since its inception, the Company has devoted its efforts and resources to the development of a platform technology for the oral administration of large molecule drugs, including proteins, peptides, monoclonal antibodies, hormones and vaccines, which historically have been administered by injection, either subcutaneously or intravenously. Oral–lynTM the first product based on this platform technology, is in the various stages of regulatory approval in different jurisdictions around the world.
The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigen Express, Inc. (Antigen), is engaged in research and development of technologies and immunomedicines for the treatment of malignant, infectious, autoimmune and allergic diseases. The Company’s immunomedicine products work by stimulating the immune system to either attack offending agents (i.e., cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses) or to stop attacking benign elements (i.e., self proteins and allergens). The immunomedicine products are based on two platform technologies that were discovered by an executive officer of Antigen, the Ii-Key hybrid peptides and Ii-Suppression. These technologies are expected to greatly boost immune cell responses which diagnose and treat the ailments and conditions.
The Company is a development stage company, which has a limited history of operations and whose revenues primarily comprised of $1 million received in conjunction with the execution of a development agreement, grant revenue from government agencies related to Antigen’s operations and $50,000 in conjunction with the execution of a licensing agreement. The Company currently is recognizing revenue from the sale of three of its four commercially available products. Additionally, the Company has several product candidates that are in various research or early stages of pre-clinical and clinical development. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining regulatory clearance for the sale of existing or any future products or that any of the Company’s products will be commercially viable.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises.”
Cash and Cash Equivalents

(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Short-Term Investments
Short-term investments include auction rate securities and short-term U.S. term deposits with original maturities of between three to twelve months. These short-term notes are classified as held to maturity and are valued at amortized cost. The auction rate securities are classified as available for sale and are recorded at fair value. At July 31, 2008, the short-term investments consisted of auction rate securities.
Accounts Receivable
Accounts receivable are customer obligations due under normal trade terms. The Company sells its product to various distributors and retailers. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of customers’ financial condition and does not require collateral.
Management reviews accounts receivable on a monthly basis to determine collectibility. Balances that are determined to be uncollectible are written off to the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts contains a general accrual for estimated bad debts and had a balance of zero at July 31, 2008 and 2007, however, actual write-offs may exceed the allowance.
Inventory
Inventory consists of commercially available products and their components. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market with cost determined using the first-in first-out (“FIFO”) method. In evaluating whether inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market, management considers such factors as the amount of inventory on hand and in the distribution channel, estimated time required to sell such inventory, remaining shelf life and current and expected market conditions, including levels of competition. As appropriate, a provision is recorded to reduce inventory to its net realizable value.
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to thirty years. Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the statement of operations in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred.
Assets Held for Investment
Property held for investment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets of thirty years. Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the statement of operations in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred.
Patents
Capitalized patent costs represent legal costs incurred to establish patents and a portion of the acquisition price paid attributed to patents upon the acquisition of Antigen in August 2003. When patents reach a mature stage any associated legal costs are comprised mostly of maintenance fees and costs of national applications and are expensed as incurred. Capitalized patent costs are amortized on a straight line method over the related patent term. As patents are abandoned, the net book value of the patent is written off.

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposal of the asset.
Convertible Debentures
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with a Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios ("EITF 98-5"), the Company recognized an imbedded beneficial conversion feature present in the convertible debentures. The Company allocated a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of that feature to additional paid-in capital. The debt discount attributed to the beneficial conversion feature is amortized over the convertible debenture's maturity period as interest expense using the effective yield method.
In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force Issue 00-27, Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments ("EITF 00-27"), the Company recognized the value attributable to the warrants to additional paid-in capital and a discount against the convertible debentures. The Company valued the warrants in accordance with EITF 00-27 using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The debt discount attributed to the value of the warrants issued is amortized over the convertible debenture’s maturity period as interest expense using the effective yield method.
Revenue Recognition
Revenues from the sale of commercial products are recognized at the time title of goods passes to the buyer and the buyer assumes the risks and rewards of ownership. Certain product sales are made to retailers under agreements allowing for a right to return unsold products. In accordance with SFAS No. 48, “Revenue Recognition When Right of Return Exists (as amended)” recognition of revenue on all sales to these retailers is deferred until the right of return expires, the product is sold to a third party or a provision for returns can be reasonably estimated based on historical experience. The cost of inventory under these sales is considered to be a consigned inventory until the revenue is recognized. Sales are reported net of estimated returns and allowances, discounts, mail-in rebate redemptions and credit card chargebacks. If actual sales returns, allowances, discounts, mail-in rebate redemptions or credit card chargebacks are greater than estimated by management, additional expense may be incurred.
Grant revenue is recognized as the Company provides the services stipulated in the underlying grant based on the time and expenditures incurred. Amounts received in advance of services provided are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized as revenue when the services are provided.
Included in miscellaneous income are fees received under licensing agreements. Nonrefundable fees received under licensing agreements are recognized as revenue when received if the Company has no continuing obligations to the other party.
Rental income is recognized as revenue in the period in which the space is occupied.

Research and Development Costs
Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred and include, among other costs, those related to the production of experimental drugs, including payroll costs, and amounts incurred for conducting clinical trials. Amounts expected to be received from governments under research and development tax credit arrangements are offset against current income tax expense.
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method prescribed by SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” Deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax rates expected to be in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows SFAS No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” which revises SFAS No. 123 “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”). SFAS 123(R) requires that new, modified and unvested share-based payment transactions with employees, such as grants of stock options and restricted stock, be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value at the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over their vesting periods. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and restricted stock based on the quoted market price. The Company also follows the guidance in EITF 96-18, “Accounting for Equity Instruments That Are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” for equity instruments issued to consultants.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic EPS is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of Diluted EPS does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings. Refer to Note 14 for methodology for determining net loss per share.
Comprehensive Loss
Other comprehensive income (loss), which includes only foreign currency translation adjustments, is shown in the Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.
Concentration of Credit Risk
The Company maintains cash balances, at times, with financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management monitors the soundness of these institutions and considers the Company’s risk negligible.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted 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 dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign denominated assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period. Income statement accounts are translated at a weighted average of exchange rates which were in effect during the period. Translation adjustments that arise from translating the foreign subsidiary’s financial statements from local currency to U.S. currency are recorded in the other comprehensive loss component of stockholders’ equity.
Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Long-term debt and convertible debentures approximates their fair value based upon the borrowing rates available for the nature of the underlying debt.
Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), on August 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. FIN 48 also provides guidance on derecognition classification, interest and penalties accounting in interim periods disclosure and transition.
Based on the Company’s evaluation, management has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the financial statements or adjustments to deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance. The evaluation was performed for the tax years ended July 31, 2007, 2006, 2005 and 2004, the tax years which remain subject to examination by major tax jurisdictions as of July 31, 2008.
The Company may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. If the Company receives an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it would be classified in the financial statements as general and administrative expense.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, "Fair Value Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with earlier application encouraged. Any amounts recognized upon adoption as a cumulative effect adjustment will be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption. On February 12, 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date for non-financial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008; however, the effective date for financial assets remains intact. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its results of operations or financial position.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “Establishing the Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”) to permit all entities to choose to elect to measure eligible financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The decision whether to elect the fair value option may occur for each eligible item either on a specified election date or according to a preexisting policy for specified types of eligible items. However, that decision must also take place on a date on which criteria under SFAS 159 occurs. Finally, the decision to elect the fair value option shall be made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, except in certain circumstances. An entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS 159 applies to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. On February 12, 2008, the FASB delayed the effective date for non-financial assets and liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008; however the effective date for the financial assets remains intact. The Company is currently evaluating this pronouncement in connection with SFAS 157.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). This Statement replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141”). This Statement retains the fundamental requirements in SFAS 141 that the acquisition method of accounting (which SFAS 141 called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. This Statement also establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer: a) recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in the acquiree; b) recognizes and measures the goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a bargain purchase and c) determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) will apply prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. An entity may not apply it before that date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its results of operations or financial position.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). This Statement amends ARB 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling (minority) interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. It clarifies that a non-controlling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this statement on its results of operations or financial position.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS 161 amends SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” to amend and expand the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133 to provide greater transparency about (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (ii) how derivative instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and its related interpretations, and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows. To meet those objectives, SFAS 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about fair value amounts of gains and losses on derivative instruments and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative agreements. SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is encouraged. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of SFAS 161 on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 162, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles" ("SFAS 162"). SFAS 162 is intended to improve financial reporting by identifying a consistent framework, or hierarchy, for selecting accounting principles to be used in preparing financial statements that are presented in conformity with U.S. GAAP for nongovernmental entities. SFAS 162 is effective 60 days following the Securities and Exchange Commission's approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board auditing amendments to AU Section 411, "The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles." The Company does not expect SFAS 162 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP APB 14-1, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlements).” This FSP requires a portion of this type of convertible debt to be recorded as equity and to record interest expense on the debt portion at a rate that would have been charged on nonconvertible debt with the same terms. This FSP takes effect in the first quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. It will effective for the Company on August 1, 2009. This FSP will apply to the Company’s convertible debentures.

In June 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” Securities participating in dividends with common stock according to a formula are participating securities. This FSP determined unvested shares of restricted stock and stock units with nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities. Participating securities require the “two-class” method to be used to calculate basic earnings per share. This method lowers basic earnings per common share. This FSP takes effect in the first quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and will be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. It will be effective for the Company on August 1, 2009. The Company does not expect FSP EITF 03-6-1 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

Pending Litigation
In February 2001, a former business associate of the former Vice President of Research and Development (“VP”) of the Company and an entity known as Centrum Technologies Inc. (“CTI”) commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the Company and the VP seeking, among other things, damages for alleged breaches of contract and tortious acts related to a business relationship between this former associate and the VP that ceased in July 1996. The plaintiffs’ statement of claim also seeks to enjoin the use, if any, by the Company of three patents allegedly owned by CTI. The three patents are entitled Liquid Formulations for Proteinic Pharmaceuticals, Vaccine Delivery System for Immunization, Using Biodegradable Polymer Microspheres, and Controlled Releases of Drugs or Hormones in Biodegradable Polymer Microspheres. It is the Company’s position that the buccal drug delivery technologies which are the subject matter of the Company’s research, development, and commercialization efforts, including Generex Oral-lyn™ and the RapidMist™ Diabetes Management System, do not make use of, are not derivative of, do not infringe upon, and are entirely different from the intellectual property identified in the plaintiffs’ statement of claim. On July 20, 2001, the Company filed a preliminary motion to dismiss the action of CTI as a nonexistent entity or, alternatively, to stay such action on the grounds of want of authority of such entity to commence the action. The plaintiffs brought a cross motion to amend the statement of claim to substitute Centrum Biotechnologies, Inc. (“CBI”) for CTI. CBI is a corporation of which 50 percent of the shares are owned by the former business associate and the remaining 50 percent are owned by the Company. Consequently, the shareholders of CBI are in a deadlock. The court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the action of CTI and denied the plaintiffs’ cross motion without prejudice to the former business associate to seek leave to bring a derivative action in the name of or on behalf of CBI. The former business associate subsequently filed an application with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for an order granting him leave to file an action in the name of and on behalf of CBI against the VP and the Company. The Company opposed the application. In September 2003, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted the request and issued an order giving the former business associate leave to file an action in the name of and on behalf of CBI against the VP and the Company. A statement of claim was served in July 2004. The Company is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.
The Company is involved in certain other legal proceedings in addition to those specifically described herein. Subject to the uncertainty inherent in all litigation, the Company does not believe at the present time that the resolution of any of these legal proceedings is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, operations or cash flows.
With respect to all litigation, as additional information concerning the estimates used by the Company becomes known, the Company reassesses its position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures.

(B) | The notes carry an 8% coupon and mature September 30, 2009, provided, however, the maturity date may be extended at the option of the holder. The notes carry a 19-month term and amortization in 15 installments commencing in the fifth month of the term. The principal and interest payments are payable in cash or, at the Company's option, the lower of (i) the then applicable conversion price and (ii) the price which shall be computed as 90% of the arithmetic average of the VWAP of the common stock on each of the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the applicable installment date, subject to certain conditions. Each note lists certain “Events of Default”, which include, without limitation, any default in the payment of principal or interest in respect of the notes as when they become due and payable, the Company’s failure to observe or perform any other covenant, agreement or warranty contained in the agreements relating to the notes. Upon the occurrence of the “Event of Default”, the holder may require us to redeem all or any portion of the notes upon written notice. Other conditions in the notes impede the Company’s ability to make its monthly installment payments in shares of its common stock. Two of such conditions - the effectiveness of the registration statement for at least 30 days prior to installment notice and listing maintenance minimum bid price requirement of Nasdaq Stock Market, were not met as of July 31, 2008, requiring the Company to procure waivers from the note holders in respect to these conditions. |
(C) | The warrants issued to investors are comprised of the following: Series A warrants 5,257,729; Series A-1 warrants 7,541,857; Series B warrants 17,066,108; Series C warrants 12,799,580. |
The Series C warrants are issuable contingent upon exercise of Series B warrants. The relative fair value associated with the Series C warrants at the commitment date amounted to $1,234,836. At such time the contingency is met, the Company would include the relative fair value as a charge to interest expense. The Company has accounted for this contingency in accordance with EITF 98-5 and 00-27. At July 31, 2008, Series B warrants have not been exercised and therefore the contingency has not been met.
(D) | The Company re-priced 12,697,024 existing warrants. The value associated with the re-priced warrants amounted to $5,399,160 and was valued using the Black-Scholes pricing model. The value of the re-priced warrants have been added to the value of the new warrants issued (see (C) above) and accounted for in accordance with EITF 98-5 and 00-27. |
(E) | Black-Scholes pricing model assumptions used in valuing the warrants were: risk free interest (2.70 percent); expected volatility (.8611); life of 1 ½ years, 7 years and 7 ½ years. |

During the years ended July 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, the Company issued stock options, warrants and shares of common stock in exchange for services rendered to the Company. The fair value of each stock option and warrant was valued using the Black Scholes pricing model which takes into account as of the grant date the exercise price and expected life of the stock option or warrant, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock and the risk free interest rate for the term of the stock option or warrant.

The 2000, 2001 and 2006 Plans (the Plans) are administered by the Board of Directors (the Board). The Board is authorized to select from among eligible employees, directors, advisors and consultants those individuals to whom options are to be granted and to determine the number of shares to be subject to, and the terms and conditions of the options. The Board is also authorized to prescribe, amend and rescind terms relating to options granted under the Plans. Generally, the interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plans or any options granted hereunder is within the discretion of the Board.
The Plans provide that options may or may not be Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Only employees of the Company are eligible to receive ISOs, while employees and non-employee directors, advisors and consultants are eligible to receive options which are not ISOs, i.e. “Non-Qualified Options.” The options granted by the Board in connection with its adoption of the Plans were Non-Qualified Options. In addition, the 2006 Plan also provides for restricted stock grants.

SFAS No. 131 establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. SFAS No. 131 also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.
SFAS No. 131 uses a management approach for determining segments. The management approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements With Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.
On July 28, 2008, we received notice of the merger of Danziger Hochman Partners LLP (“Danziger”), our independent registered public accountants, with MSCM LLP ("MSCM"), to be effective as of August 1, 2008. The merger of Danziger and MSCM did not close until the week of September 15, 2008. On September 5, 2008, the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors received an engagement letter from MSCM and approved the engagement of MSCM as Danziger’s successor to continue as our independent registered public accountant for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2008.
The reports of Danziger on our financial statements for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2007 and 2006 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.
During our fiscal years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007 and the subsequent interim period through September 5, 2008, the date on which our Audit Committee approved the engagement of MSCM and Danziger ceased being our auditors, there were no disagreements between us and Danziger 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 Danziger, would have caused Danziger to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its audit reports on our financial statements. During our past fiscal years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007 and the interim period through September 5, 2008, Danziger did not advise us of any of the matters specified in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
We requested that Danziger deliver to us a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether Danziger agreed with the disclosures made by us in response to Item 304(a) of Regulation S-K, and if not, stating the respects in which it did not agree. Danziger's letter was filed as Exhibit 16 to our Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on September 19, 2008.
During our fiscal years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007 and the subsequent interim period through September 5, 2008, we had no consultations with MSCM regarding (a) the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on our consolidated financial statements as to which we received a written report or oral advice that was an important factor in reaching a decision on any accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; (b) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or (c) any matter that was the subject of a reportable event, as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
Item 9A. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Prior to the filing of this Report on Form 10-K, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Report on Form 10-K, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes during the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2008 in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, those controls.
MANAGEMENT’S REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
The management of Generex Biotechnology Corporation (the “Company”) is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
94
(i) | pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; |
(ii) | provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and |
(iii) | provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. |
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
The Company’s management assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on management’s assessment using those criteria, management has concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of July 31, 2008.
MSCM LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the financial statements that appear in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2008, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2008, which is included in Part II, Item 8 - Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this Annual Report on Form 10-K..
