In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the condensed interim consolidated financial position of CardioGenics Holdings Inc. and its Subsidiaries under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) as of July 31, 2013, their results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, and the period from November 20, 1997 (date of inception) to July 31, 2013, changes in comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, and the period from November 20, 1997 (date of inception) to July 31, 2013, changes in deficiency for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, and the period from November 20, 1997 (date of inception) to July 31, 2013. CardioGenics Holdings Inc. and its Subsidiaries are referred to together herein as the “Company”. Pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these consolidated financial statements unless significant changes have taken place since the end of the most recent fiscal year. Accordingly, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes to consolidated financial statements and the other information in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of October 31, 2012 and 2011 (the “Audited Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s Form 10-K that was previously filed with the SEC on January 29, 2013 and from which the October 31, 2012 consolidated balance sheet was derived.
The results of the Company’s operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending October 31, 2013.
The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using U.S. GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.
The Company has incurred operating losses and has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception. The Company has an accumulated deficit at July 31, 2013 of approximately $42.8 million. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has funded its activities to date almost exclusively from debt and equity financings. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company will continue to require substantial funds to continue research and development, including preclinical studies and clinical trials of its products, and to commence sales and marketing efforts, if the FDA and other regulatory approvals are obtained. In order to meet its operating cash flow requirements Management’s plans include financing activities such as private placements of its common stock and issuances of convertible debt instruments. Management is also actively pursuing industry collaboration activities including product licensing and specific project financing.
While the Company believes it will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, meet revenue projections and manage costs, there are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved and that it will succeed in its future operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position, and to allow investors to better compare financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP with financial statements prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The new standards are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective application is required. The Company will implement the provisions of ASU 2011-11 as of November 1, 2013.
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance requiring disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present either on the face of the statement of operations or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) by the respective line items of net income (loss) but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income (loss) in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not reclassified in their entirety to net income (loss), an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts. This guidance is effective prospectively for the Company for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2013. The Company believes that the impact of this standard has not had a material impact on its condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
Derivative Instruments
The Company’s derivative liabilities are related to embedded conversion features of the Notes Payable. For derivative instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in earnings each reporting period. The Company uses the Black-Scholes model to value the derivative instruments at inception and subsequent valuation dates and the value is re-assessed at the end of each reporting period, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815. Derivative instrument liabilities are classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as current or non-current based on whether or not the net-cash settlement of the derivative instrument could be required within twelve months of the condensed consolidated balance sheet date.

Beneficial Conversion Charge
The intrinsic value of beneficial conversion features arising from the issuance of convertible debentures with conversion rights that are in-the-money at the commitment date is recorded as debt discount and amortized to interest expense over the term of the debentures. The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature is determined after initially allocating an appropriate portion of the proceeds received from the sale of the debentures to any detachable instruments, such as warrants, included in the sale or exchange based on relative fair values.
Based on the Company’s evaluation, management has concluded that there are no significant tax positions requiring recognition in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
The Company has incurred losses in Canada since inception, which have generated net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. The net operating loss carryforwards arising from Canadian sources as of July 31, 2013, approximated $6,816,000 (2012 - $6,362,000) which will expire from 2014 through 2032. All fiscal years as originally filed have been assessed. Claims relating to research and development credits are open for review for the fiscal years ended October 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and July 2009.
As of July 31, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards from US sources of approximately $40,809,000 (2012 - $40,647,000) available to reduce future Federal taxable income which will expire from 2019 through 2032. Returns for the years 2008 through 2012 are yet to be filed.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate principally due to the net operating losses for which no benefit was recorded.
During the three months ended January 31, 2013 two shareholder/directors advanced $200,000 to the Company. On February 27, 2013, those advances together with $100,000 advanced by a shareholder to the Company prior to October 31, 2012 were exchanged on a dollar for dollar basis for Series A Convertible Debenture Units (the “Units”). Each unit includes a debenture having a term of three years, bearing interest at 10%, and a warrant having a term of three years. The debentures are convertible at any time into common shares of the Company’s stock at a price of $0.25 per share. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase 2 times the number of common shares of the Company’s stock allowed in conjunction with the debentures at a price of $0.25 per share at any time up to three years.
During the three months ended July 31, 2013, the Company received from officer/directors $155,000 from officer/directors for the subscription of 155,000 of the Company’s Series B Convertible Debentures. Each unit includes a debenture having a term of three years, bearing interest at 10%, and a warrant having a term of three years. The debentures are convertible at any time into common shares of the Company’s stock at a price of $0.25 per share. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase 1.5 times the number of common shares of the Company’s stock allowed in conjunction with the debentures at a price of $0.25 per share at any time up to three years.
On November 19, 2012, the Company entered into an agreement (“Line”) with JMJ Financial (“Lender”) whereby the Company may borrow up to $350,000 from the Lender in increments of $50,000. The Line is subject to an original issue discount of $50,000. Advances under the Line (“Notes”) have a maturity date of one year from the date of the advance. If the advance is repaid within three months, the advance is interest free. If not repaid within three months, the advance may not be repaid before maturity and carries interest at 5%. The Lender has the right at any time to convert all or part of the outstanding principal and accrued interest (and any other fees) into shares of fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company at a price equal to the lesser of $0.23 and 60% of the lowest trade price in the 25 trading days previous to the conversion. Unless agreed in writing by the parties, at no time will the Lender convert any amount owing under the Line into common stock that would result in the Lender owing more than 4.99% of the common stock outstanding.

A summary of the Notes at July 31, 2013 is as follows:

As described in further detail in Note 7, “Derivative Liabilities”, the Company determines the fair value of the embedded derivatives and records them as a discount to the Notes and as a derivative liability. Upon conversion of the Notes to Common Stock, any remaining unamortized discount is charged to financing expense.
Convertible notes - embedded conversion features:
The Notes meet the definition of a hybrid instrument, as defined in ASC 815. The hybrid instrument is comprised of a i) a debt instrument, as the host contract and ii) an option to convert the debentures into common stock of the Company, as an embedded derivative. The embedded derivatives derive their value based on the underlying fair value of the Company’s common stock. The embedded derivatives are not clearly and closely related to the underlying host debt instrument since the economic characteristics and risk associated with these derivatives are based on the common stock fair value.
The Company determines the fair value of the embedded derivatives and records them as a discount to the Notes and a derivative liability. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of the embedded derivative are immediately recognized in earnings and classified as a gain or loss on the embedded derivative financial instrument in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The change in fair value for the nine months ended July 31, 2013 was $7,250.
The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives using a Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: conversion price of $0.12 per share according to the agreements; risk free interest rate of .11%; expected life of 1 year; expected dividend of zero; a volatility factor of 166% as of July 31, 2013. The expected lives of the instruments are equal to the contractual term of the conversion option. The expected volatility is based on the historical price volatility of the Company’s common stock. The risk-free interest rate represents the U.S. Treasury constant maturities rate for the expected life of the related conversion option. The dividend yield represents anticipated cash dividends to be paid over the expected life of the conversion option.

8. | Fair Value Measurements |
As defined by the ASC, fair value measurements and disclosures establish a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the type of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach and cost approach). The levels of hierarchy are described below:
| ● | Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| ● | Level 2: Inputs other than quoted market prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly-quoted intervals. |
| ● | Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. |
The following table summarizes the financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2013, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:
| | Quoted Prices in | | | | | | | | | | Total decrease | |
| | Active Markets for | | Significant Other | | Significant | | | | | | in Fair Value | |
Balance Sheet | | Identical Assets or | | Observable Inputs | | Unobservable | | | July 31, 2013 | | | Recorded at | |

Derivative liability – on Notes Payable | | $ | - | | $ | - | | $ | 92,750 | | | $ | 92,750 | | | $ | (7,250 | ) |
The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model to estimate the fair value of the derivative liability associated with the convertible note obligation. The Company considers them to be Level 3 instruments. The following table shows the weighted average assumptions the Company used to develop the fair value estimates for the determination of the derivative liability at July 31, 2013:
| Fair value | | $ | 0.12 | |
| Expected volatility | | | 166-170 | % |
| Dividend yield | | | - | |

In February 2013, shareholder loans were converted on a dollar-for-dollar basis for Series A Convertible Debenture Units (the “A Units”). Each A Unit includes a debenture having a term of three years, bearing interest at 10%, and a warrant having a term of three years. The debentures are convertible at any time into common shares of the Company’s stock at a price of $0.25 per share. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase 2 times the number of common shares of the Company’s stock allowed in conjunction with the debentures at a price of $0.25 per share at any time up to three years.
In May and June 2013 the Company sold Series B Convertible Debenture Units (the “B Units”). Each B Unit includes a debenture having a term of three years, bearing interest at 10%, and a warrant having a term of three years. The debentures are convertible at any time into common shares of the Company’s stock at a price of $0.25 per share. The warrants entitle the holder to purchase 1.5 times the number of common shares of the Company’s stock allowed in conjunction with the debentures at a price of $0.15 at any time up to three years.
The Company recorded an increase in additional paid in capital and debt discount of $95,760 in connection with the warrants issued with the Series A Convertible Debentures. The Company allocated proceeds of $306,900 to the fair value of the warrants and the remaining $343,996 to the fair value of the Series B Convertible Debentures. Based on the excess of the aggregate fair value of the common shares that would have been issued if the Series B Convertible Debentures had been converted immediately over the proceeds allocated to the Series B Convertible Debentures, the investors received a beneficial conversion feature that had an aggregate intrinsic value of $343,996 as of the commitment date. Accordingly, the Company recorded an increase in additional paid-in capital and debt discount of $650,896 in connection with the issuance of the Series B Convertible Debentures and warrants.
A summary of the Debentures at July 31, 2013 is as follows:
| | July 31, 2013 | | | October 31, 2012 | |

On January 17, 2013, the Company’s articles of incorporation were amended to increase the total number of common and preferred shares authorized for issuance from 65,000,000 shares to 150,000,000 shares and 5,000,000 shares to 50,000,000, respectively, par value $0.00001 per share.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2013, the Company issued no common shares.
The following table sets forth the computation of weighted-average shares outstanding for calculating basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS):

Basic earnings per share “EPS” and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012 have been computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for each respective period by the weighted average shares outstanding during that period. All outstanding options, warrants and shares to be issued upon the exercise of the outstanding options and warrants and conversion of debentures and notes payable representing 8,532,918 and 6,317,085 incremental shares, respectively, have been excluded from the three and nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012 computation of diluted EPS as they are anti-dilutive given the net losses generated.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition & Results of Operations
You should read this Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) in combination with the accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) included within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on January 29, 2013.
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, equipment, stock-based compensation, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
The accounting policies and estimates used as of October 31, 2012, as outlined in our previously filed Form 10-K, have been applied consistently for the nine months ended July 31, 2013.
Related Party Transactions
During the nine months ended July 31, 2013, the Company received from officer/directors $200,000 for the subscription of 200,000 of the Company’s Series A Convertible Debentures and $155,000 from officer/directors for the subscription of 155,000 of the Company’s Series B Convertible Debentures. On the day that the subscription for Series A Convertible Debentures was received, a shareholder’s loan in the amount of $100,000 was converted to 100,000 of the Company’s Series A Convertible Debentures.
Off-Balance Sheet arrangements
We are not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Revenues
During the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, we generated $0 and $1,136 of revenue in 2013 and 2012, respectively, from sales of paramagnetic beads.
Operating expenses
Operating expenses include the costs to a) develop and patent a method for controlling the delivery of compounds to a chemical reaction; b) develop the QL Care Analyzer, a small, automated, robust and proprietary point of care testing device; and c) custom paramagnetic beads through our proprietary method which improves their light collection. In addition, the Company is in the process of adapting test products for the Point Of Care (“POC”) disposable, single-use cartridge-format. Detailed manufacturing specifications and costing have been created and custom manufacturers have been sourced.
General and administrative expenses
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation to officers, occupancy costs, professional fees, listing costs and other office expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable primarily to a decrease in consulting fees.
Research and product development, net of investment tax credits
Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and wages paid to officers and employees engaged in those activities and supplies consumed therefor. The decrease in research and development expenses is attributable primarily to the decrease in staff engaged in those activities in the current nine month period vs. the same nine month period in the prior year.

Revenues
During the three months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012, we generated no revenues.

The increase in research and development expenses is attributable primarily to the decrease in investment tax credits realized in 2013 vs. 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have not generated significant revenues since inception. We incurred a net loss of approximately $762,000 and a cash flow deficiency from operating activities of $623,433 for the nine months ended July 31, 2013. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern. We have funded our activities to date almost exclusively from debt and equity financings. These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We will continue to require substantial funds to continue research and development, including preclinical studies and clinical trials of our products, to fund the ongoing operations and to commence sales and marketing efforts. Our plans include financing activities such as private placements of our common stock and issuances of convertible debt instruments. We are also actively pursuing industry collaboration including product licensing and specific project financing.
We believe we will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund our operations, meet revenue projections and manage costs; however, there are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved and that we will succeed in obtaining the funding to support our future operations.
Seasonality
We do not believe that our business is subject to seasonal trends or inflation. On an ongoing basis, we will attempt to minimize any effect of inflation on our operating results by controlling operating costs.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB had issued certain accounting pronouncements as of July 31, 2013 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, we do not believe that any of those pronouncements would have significantly affected our financial accounting measurements or disclosures had they been in effect during the nine months ended July 31, 2013 and 2012 or that they will have a significant effect at the time they become effective.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended July 31, 2013, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”). Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of July 31, 2013.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. The design and operation of a control system must also reflect that there are resource constraints and management is necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended July 31, 2013 based on the criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such assessment, our management concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective. Management has identified the following material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting:
| ● | lack of documented policies and procedures; |
| ● | there is no effective separation of duties, which includes monitoring controls, between the members of management; and, |
| ● | lack of resources to account for complex and unusual transactions. |
Management is currently evaluating what steps, if any, can be taken in order to address these material weaknesses in light of our current management structure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2013, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
