NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
AngioGenex, Inc. (“AngioGenex” or the “Company”) incorporated in the State of New York on March 31, 1999. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company founded to create products that are uniquely useful for the treatment, diagnosis and prognosis of cancer. Company programs focus on (1) the discovery and development of orally active anti-cancer drugs that act by modulating the action of the Id proteins, (2) the measurement of Id proteins in tumors and blood to create products for the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer, (3) generating proof-of-concept data in relevant preclinical models to establish that modulation of Id proteins is useful to treat non-oncologic diseases in which an overgrowth of blood vessels is an important part of the underling pathology and (4) collaborating in respect to treatments of diseases in which blood vessel proliferation is desirable.
The Company has been in the development stage since inception and as of June 30, 2007 has had no revenues from its planned operations.
The foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-QSB and Regulation S-B as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, included in the Company’s Form 10 KSB filing. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist as of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect to such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect on the reported amounts of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going Concern
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.
ANGIOGENEX, INC.
(FORMERLY ECLIC, INC.)
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE ENTERPRISE)
CONDENSED NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2007
As shown in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred substantial net losses since inception and has no revenues from planned operations. The future of the Company is dependent upon revenue and additional financing to fund its research and development activities and to support operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain additional financing. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Food and Drug Administration will grant future approval of the Company’s prospective products or that profitable operations can be attained as a result thereof.
The Company anticipates that its principal source of funds for the next year will be the issuance for cash of additional equity instruments. The financial statements do not include any recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event the Company cannot continue in existence. Management plans to seek additional capital from new equity securities issuances that will provide funds needed to increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business plan. The Company anticipates that its minimum cash requirements to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months will be at least $70,000.
Development Stage Activities
The Company has been in the development stage since its formation on March 31, 1999. It is primarily engaged in the research to develop anti-cancer strategies using the field of antiangiogenesis. During the year ended March 31, 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to provide certain properties to an unrelated outside company, receiving payments under the terms of the contract, but that was not sufficient to move the Company from development stage to a fully operating company.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February, 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" (hereinafter SFAS No. 159"). This statement permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. This Statement is expected to expand the use of fair value measurement, which is consistent with the Board's long-term measurement objectives for accounting for financial instruments. This statement is
Recent Accounting Pronouncements-continued
effective as of the beginning of an entity's first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007, although earlier adoption is permitted. Management has not determined the effect that adopting this statement would have on the Company's financial condition or results of operation.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in Part I, Item 1.
Company Overview
AngioGenex is an early stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development of compounds useful for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Our proprietary technology is based on the research work of Dr. Robert Benezra and his collegues at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, who established the role of the Id (inhibition of differentiation) genes and corresponding Id proteins in the formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) required for tumor growth and metastasis. This intellectual property includes the exclusive worldwide rights to certain patent pending Id based anti-angiogenesis anti-cancer biotechnology that we acquired in 2000 from the Sloan Kettering Institute for Cancer Research and subsequently from sponsored research. In addition, our intellectual property includes molecules that were generated as a result of in-house screening and out-sourced contract research concerning organic molecules that appear to inhibit the Id related process responsible for the formation of new blood vessels and consequent tumor growth, as well as other “know-how” and trade secrets which resulted from other out-sourced research.
Our therapeutic focus is on the identification and development of orally active molecules capable of inhibiting Id activity and preventing the formation of blood vessels that support the growth of cancerous tumors. In addition, we have sponsored other research on the modulation of Id genes and proteins that may be useful in the treatment of non-oncological diseases, such as age related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, in which a surplus in the growth of blood vessels is an important part of the underlying pathology of such diseases.
AngioGenex has out-licensed its rights to develop Id-based prognostics and diagnostics to BioCheck, Inc., a leading producer of clinical diagnostic assays. In June 2004 AngioGenex signed a Development and Marketing Agreement with BioCheck under which AngioGenex assigned BioCheck the exclusive rights to develop and market cancer prognostic and diagnostics in return for royalties and milestone payments. Pursuant to this sub-license BioCheck has been developing monoclonal antibodies for all four Id proteins (Id1, Id2, Id3, and Id4) for use in standard enzyme linked immunoassay or ELISA type assay tests and for kits for the detection of the proteins in tumors and other tissues. The sale of monoclonal antibodies to the Id proteins by BioCheck has begun to generate revenue for BioCheck.
Since commencement of operations in 1999, our efforts have been principally devoted to in-licensing our intellectual property, research and development activities, entering into collaborative agreements, recruiting management personnel and advisors, and raising capital.
Our current business strategy is to concentrate our financial resources primarily on the further development of our proprietary potential anti-cancer lead drug compounds.
Product Research and Development Plans
Our current plan of operation for the next 12 months primarily involves out-sourced contract research and development activities on the design of more potent and efficient Id protein inhibitors based on two organic molecules which have exhibited anti-Id protein properties. Given sufficient capital resources, we plan to test these organic molecules in established animal tumor models for their ability to block blood vessel formation and inhibit tumor growth. This testing as well as further refinement of the structure of active molecules is expected to result in the identification of a lead therapeutic drug compound. The lead compound would then be subjected to further testing in animals to obtain preliminary knowledge of its properties including safety. After the receiving promising preliminary data on the lead compound, it would be subjected to the more stringent tests required to complete the FDA requirements for an IND (Investigational New Drug Application). Such additional research and testing necessary for an IND application will require significant capital expenditures of approximately $1.5 million and will only be possible if we raise additional capital through equity financings.
We intend to contract out substantially all of the research and development work on our potential anti-cancer lead drug compounds. No employees were hired in the second quarter of 2007. We do not expect to hire employees during the next twelve months unless we raise substantial additional capital in the range of $5 million.
Our actual research and development and related activities may vary significantly from current plans depending on numerous factors, including changes in the costs of such activities from current estimates, the results of our research and development programs, technological advances, determinations as to commercial viability and the status of competitive products. The focus and direction of our operations will also be dependent on the establishment of our collaborative arrangements with other companies, the availability of financing and other factors. We expect our development costs to increase as any future lead anti-cancer drug compound or compounds enter the later stages of development.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Since inception, we have financed our operations through the private placement of equity and debt securities, as well as loans from certain of our officers and directors. During the first quarter of 2007 we received net proceeds of $12,930 from a private placement of shares and warrants and proceeds of $85,000 from the issuance of convertible notes to unrelated parties, which notes were converted into shares after the end of the second quarter of 2007. During the second quarter of 2007 we did not close any debt or equity financing. As of June 30, 2007, we had $14,058 in cash as compared to $4,386 in cash at December 31, 2006. We do not have any available lines of credit.
Net cash used in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $88,258 resulting in a net loss of $237,381, after taking into account significant non-cash charges for operating expenses during the quarter and other adjustments. We pay no rent to Martin Murray, a director and our Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, for the use of office space for file keeping and other business purposes.
As of June 30, 2007, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $461,757. We anticipate that our minimum cash requirements to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months will be at least $70,000.
We plan to finance our needs principally from the following:
· | our existing capital resources and interest earned on that capital; |
· | royalty income, if any, from licensed product sales by BioCheck, Inc.; |
· | annual minimum royalty payments from BioCheck if aggregate royalty income received by AngioGenex during the twelve months ending in the second quarter of 2008 is less than $50,000; |
· | through future private placement financing. |
As mentioned above, we may generate revenue from BioCheck from royalties on sales of licensed products or from minimum annual royalty payments under our license agreement. The sale of monoclonal antibodies to the Id proteins by BioCheck has begun to generate revenue, upon which we will receive royalty payments. If we do not receive at least $50,000 in royalty payments from the sales of licensed products by BioCheck during the twelve months ending in the second quarter of 2008, BioCheck will be obligated to make a minimum royalty payment to us representing the difference between royalty payments actually paid and $50,000. We cannot at this time assure you that additional revenues will be generated in fiscal year 2007, if at all.
We do not currently have sufficient capital resources to finance our plan of operation through the third quarter of 2007. We will need to raise additional capital during the third quarter of 2007 in order to fund our plan of operation through the third quarter of 2007. Our long term capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our reporting company costs, patent costs for filing, prosecuting, maintaining and defending our patent rights, among others.
We will need to raise substantial additional capital through equity or debt financings or generate additional revenue to complete our development of lead anti-cancer drug compounds. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient additional capital or revenues, if any, to fund our operations during the third quarter of 2007, that any future equity financings will be successful, or that other potential financings through equity offerings, or otherwise, will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Having insufficient funds may require us to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our development programs, relinquish some or even all rights to product candidates at an earlier stage of development, or renegotiate less favorable terms that we would otherwise. If we are unable to raise additional capital during the third quarter of 2007 we may have to further curtail or cease operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates.
This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements that have been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. We have disclosed all significant accounting policies in note 2 to the financial statements included in our Form 10-KSB. Our critical accounting policies are:
Revenue recognition: Royalties will be recognized as revenue when the amounts are contractually earned, fixed and determinable, and there is substantial probability of collection.
Research, development costs: Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Lawsuit
In July 2006, Comparative BioSciences Inc. (“CompBio”), a company that we had previously hired to breed and house a colony of its proprietary “Id-Knockout” mice, sued us in state court in California claiming approximately $200,000 in unpaid invoices. We removed the case from state court to federal court and responded to CompBio’s claims by pointing to over charges from a) keeping a colony of mice much larger than we specifically requested, b) continuing to breed and house the mice for several years after we had demanded that CompBio cease performing any work or incurring any charges. Our response also included counter-claims for CompBio’s breach of contract, as well as a number of business torts arising out of their refusal to return the proprietary mice to us so that we could perform important anti-cancer experiments as part of our drug development program and business plan. At a hearing on December 22, 2006, the judge granted our request for injunctive relief in the form of the return of our proprietary experimental mice. However the judge ruled that CompBio would only be required to return our proprietary Id-knockout mice if we first posted a bond for $200,000, which we have not posted to date. There were no material developments in this lawsuit in the second quarter of 2007.
Subsequent Events
On July 6, 2007, we issued an aggregate of 242,859 shares of common stock to eight holders of convertible promissory notes. The promissory notes were issued to the eight unrelated parties in March 2007 for aggregate gross proceeds of $85,000. The notes were convertible into shares of common stock at $0.35 per share. Interest in the amount of 6% per annum began to accrue in May 2007. The interest which accrued as of the conversion date will be paid in cash.
Item 3. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures” (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), as of June 30, 2007. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2007. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
