Nature of Business | ' | ||
1 | Nature of Business | ||
The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-K and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and include the results of CardioGenics, Inc. and its subsidiaries and JAG Media Holdings, Inc and its subsidiaries (“JAG Media”) (from July 31, 2009, date of acquisition) which are collectively referred to as the “Company.” | |||
CardioGenics Inc. (“CardioGenics”) was incorporated on November 20, 1997 in the Province of Ontario, Canada, and carries on the business of development and commercialization of diagnostic test products for the In-Vitro Diagnostics testing market. CardioGenics has several test products that are in various stages of development. In the last quarter of 2011 CardioGenics commenced selling one of these products, but has generated no significant revenue therefrom. | |||
On July 31, 2009, CardioGenics acquired the business of JAG Media Holdings, Inc. (“JAG Media”). The business acquired is that of gathering and compiling financial and investment information from various financial institutions and other Wall Street professionals. Revenues of the acquired business of JAG media are generated by releasing such financial information to subscribers in a consolidated format on a timely basis through facsimile transmissions and a web site. Further, software focused on streaming video solutions was acquired through the acquisition of JAG Media by CardioGenics. Historically, further development of this software had been limited as a result of JAG Media’s lack of financial resources. | |||
On February 11, 2010, the Company entered into an LLC Membership Interest Purchase Agreement with Rothcove Partners LLS (“Rothcove”) pursuant to which the Company sold its interest in JAG Media to Rothcove. | |||
References herein to CardioGenics common shares has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the exchange ratio of 20.957 established in the Share Purchase Agreement related to the acquisition of JAG Media. | |||
On October 27, 2009, the name of the Company was changed from Jag Media Holdings, Inc. to CardioGenics Holdings, Inc. | |||
On April 23, 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reverse stock split of its issued and outstanding common shares. The total authorized shares of common stock was at the same time reduced to 65,000,000. The Board of Directors selected a ratio of one-for-ten and the reverse stock split was effective on June 20, 2010. Trading of the Company’s common stock on the Over-The-Counter Capital Market on a split adjusted basis began at the open of trading on June 21, 2010. The reverse stock split affected all shares of the Company’s common stock, as well as options to purchase the Company’s common stock and other equity incentive awards and warrants that were outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of the reverse stock split. All references to common shares and per-share data for prior periods have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split as if it had occurred at the beginning of the earliest period presented. | |||
On January 17, 2013, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation to increase the authorized common shares to 150,000,000 and de-authorize the Company’s Class B common stock. |

Basis of Presentation | ' | ||
2 | Basis of Presentation | ||
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 a deficit accumulated at October 31, 2013 of approximately $45 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 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. |

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ' | ||
3 | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | ||
(a) | Principles of Consolidation | ||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. | |||
(b) | Development Stage Company | ||
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the guidance for development stage enterprises. | |||
(c) | Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. | |||
(d) | Government Grants and Investment Tax Credits Receivable | ||
The Company’s accounts include claims for investment tax credits relating to scientific research activities of the Company prior to the acquisition described in Note 1. The qualification and recording of this activity for investment tax credit purposes is established by Canadian Income Tax authorities when the income tax returns for the period are assessed. The credit has been recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the year in which the expenses were incurred. | |||
Subsequent to the acquisition described in Note 1, the Company no longer qualifies to receive substantial refunds of Investment Tax Credits (“ITCs”) resulting from scientific research. Currently the majority of ITCs resulting from scientific research are carried forward to a time when the company becomes tax paying at which time said ITCs are applicable against taxes payable. | |||
(e) | Property and Equipment | ||
Property under capital leases and the related obligation for future lease payments are initially recorded at an amount equal to the lesser of fair value of the property or equipment and the present value of those lease payments. Property and equipment is depreciated using methods and rates as follows: | |||
Furniture and Fixtures | 20% declining balance | ||
Lab Equipment | 20% declining balance | ||
Computer Equipment – Hardware | 30% declining balance | ||
Computer Equipment – Software | 50% declining balance | ||
Leasehold Improvements | Straight-line over the lesser of the life of the asset or the life of the lease | ||
(f) | Patents | ||
Capitalized patent costs represent legal and application costs incurred to establish patents. 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. | |||
(g) | Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets | ||
The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets under the guidance of standards 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. | |||
(h) | Research and Development Costs | ||
Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred and include, among other costs, those related to the production of prototype products, including payroll costs. Amounts expected to be received from governments under Scientific Research Tax Credit arrangements are offset against current expenses. The Company recognizes revenue from restricted grants in the period in which the Company has incurred the expenditures in compliance with the specific restrictions. | |||
(i) | Income Taxes | ||
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in the authoritative guidance. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As there is no certainty that the Company will generate taxable income in the foreseeable future to utilize tax losses accumulated to date, no provision for ultimate tax reduction has been made in these financial statements. | |||
On November 1, 2007, the Company adopted the guidance issued for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes which provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of the guidance and in subsequent periods. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within operations as income tax expense. Upon adoption, there were no adjustments required. | |||
(j) | Stock-Based Compensation | ||
The Company follows the authoritative guidance for stock-based compensation which 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 has also considered the related guidance of the SEC. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and shares issued as compensation to employees and directors as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and restricted stock based on the per share value. The Company also follows the guidance 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 which provides guidance on transactions in which (1) the fair value of the equity instruments is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the goods or services received and (2) the counterparty receives shares of stock, stock options, or other equity instruments in settlement of the entire transaction or, if the transaction is part cash and part equity instruments, in settlement of the portion of the transaction for which the equity instruments constitute the consideration. Options issued with a nominal exercise price in exchange for services rendered were measured at the fair value of the underlying services rendered on the date of grant. The expense was recorded to the consolidated statements of operations with a corresponding increase in share capital with no additional increase in the number of shares as they were legally not yet exercised. | |||
(k) | Net Loss Per Common Share | ||
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share. | |||
(l) | Comprehensive Income (Loss) | ||
Other comprehensive income (loss), which includes only foreign currency translation adjustments, is shown in the consolidated statements of changes in equity (deficiency). | |||
(m) | 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 has not experienced any collection losses with these financial institutions. | |||
(n) | 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. By their nature, these estimates are subject to uncertainty and the effect on the consolidated financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be material. | |||
(o) | Foreign Currency Translation | ||
The Company maintains its accounting records for its Canadian operations in Canadian dollars. Transactions in United States dollars (“USD”) are translated into Canadian dollars at rates in effect at the date of the transaction and gains or losses on such transactions are recorded at the time of settlement in the consolidated statements of operations. | |||
The Company’s reporting currency is the United States Dollar. Foreign denominated assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into USD at the prevailing exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period, the historical rate for stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and a weighted average of exchange rate in effect during the period for expenses, gains and losses. Adjustments that arise from translation into the reporting currency are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholders’ equity (deficiency). | |||
(p) | Financial Instruments | ||
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Long-term debt and convertible debentures approximate their fair value based upon recent issuances of the underlying debt. | |||
(q) | Revenue Recognition | ||
Revenue included in these consolidated financial statements is derived from sales of paramagnetic beads and is recognized on shipment to customers. | |||
(r) | Effects of 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 beginning in fiscal 2014. | |||
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of other accumulated income by component. In addition, ASU 2013-02 requires presentation, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes, of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by respective line items of net income, but only if the amounts required to be reclassified in their entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those annual periods. The accounting update will be applicable to the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-02 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statement presentation. | |||
(s) | 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 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 consolidated balance sheet date. | |||
(t) | 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. |

The Company adopted the provisions of the guidance for uncertainty in income taxes on November 1, 2007. The guidance clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statement, 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. It also provides guidance on de-recognition classification, interest and penalties accounting in interim periods disclosure and transition. | |||||||||

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 October 31, 2013 were $9,126,000 (2012 - $6,319,184) which will expire from 2014 through 2033. | |||||||||
All fiscal years except 2013 have been assessed; however, claims relating to research and development credits are open for review for the fiscal years ended October 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, and July 2009. | |||||||||
As of October 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards from US sources of approximately $41,040,000 and $40,713,000, respectively, available to reduce future Federal taxable income which will expire from 2020 through 2033. With certain exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to U.S. Federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2008. | |||||||||
Internal Revenue Code Section 382 (section “382”) imposes a limitation on a corporation’s ability to utilize NOLs if it experiences an ownership change. In general, an ownership change may occur from certain transactions that increase the ownership of 5% stockholders in the stock of a corporation by more than 50 percentage points over a three year period. If an ownership change occurs, utilization of the NOLs would be subject to an annual limitation. The annual limitation under section 382 is calculated by multiplying the value of the stock at the time of the ownership change by the applicable long-term exempt rate. Any unused annual limitation may be carried over to later years. The Company has historically been in a loss position and, therefore, the Section 382 limitation may not be relevant for the current period. | |||||||||
For the years ended October 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. | |||||||||

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. | |||||||||

As described in further detail in Note 12, “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. The discount to the Notes is amortized to Loss in Change in Value of Derivative Liability over the life of the Note or until conversion. The amount charged to Loss in Change in Value of Derivative Liability for the year was $116,663. Upon conversion of the Notes and related interest and original issue discount to Common Stock, any remaining unamortized discount is charged to financing expense. During the year ended October 31, 2013, Notes in the principal amount of $75,000 plus interest and original issue discount totaling $16,882 were exchanged for 919,847 common shares. |

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. The Company recognized a derivative liability of $135,000 during the year ended October 31, 2013. 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 consolidated statements of operations. | |||
The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives using a Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: conversion price $0.084 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 170 to 195%, as of October 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. |

As defined by the Accounting Standard Codification (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 October 31, 2013, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value: | |||||||||||||||||

The Company allocated proceeds of $306,900 to the fair value of the warrants using a Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: conversion price $0.25 or $0.15 per share according to the agreements; risk free interest rate of .18%; expected life of 3 years; expected dividend of zero; a volatility factor of 176 to 195%, as of October 31, 2013 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.

Summary_of_Significant_Account1
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended | ||
Oct. 31, 2013 | |||
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | ' | ||
Principles of Consolidation | ' | ||
(a) | Principles of Consolidation | ||
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. | |||
Development Stage Company | ' | ||
(b) | Development Stage Company | ||
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the guidance for development stage enterprises. | |||
Cash and Cash Equivalents | ' | ||
(c) | Cash and Cash Equivalents | ||
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. | |||
Government Grants and Investment Tax Credits Receivable | ' | ||
(d) | Government Grants and Investment Tax Credits Receivable | ||
The Company’s accounts include claims for investment tax credits relating to scientific research activities of the Company prior to the acquisition described in Note 1. The qualification and recording of this activity for investment tax credit purposes is established by Canadian Income Tax authorities when the income tax returns for the period are assessed. The credit has been recognized in the consolidated statement of operations in the year in which the expenses were incurred. | |||
Subsequent to the acquisition described in Note 1, the Company no longer qualifies to receive substantial refunds of Investment Tax Credits (“ITCs”) resulting from scientific research. Currently the majority of ITCs resulting from scientific research are carried forward to a time when the company becomes tax paying at which time said ITCs are applicable against taxes payable. | |||
Property and Equipment | ' | ||
(e) | Property and Equipment | ||
Property under capital leases and the related obligation for future lease payments are initially recorded at an amount equal to the lesser of fair value of the property or equipment and the present value of those lease payments. Property and equipment is depreciated using methods and rates as follows: | |||
Furniture and Fixtures | 20% declining balance | ||
Lab Equipment | 20% declining balance | ||
Computer Equipment – Hardware | 30% declining balance | ||
Computer Equipment – Software | 50% declining balance | ||
Leasehold Improvements | Straight-line over the lesser of the life of the asset or the life of the lease | ||
Patents | ' | ||
(f) | Patents | ||
Capitalized patent costs represent legal and application costs incurred to establish patents. 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 | ' | ||
(g) | Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets | ||
The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets under the guidance of standards 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. | |||
Research and Development Costs | ' | ||
(h) | Research and Development Costs | ||
Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred and include, among other costs, those related to the production of prototype products, including payroll costs. Amounts expected to be received from governments under Scientific Research Tax Credit arrangements are offset against current expenses. The Company recognizes revenue from restricted grants in the period in which the Company has incurred the expenditures in compliance with the specific restrictions. | |||
Income Taxes | ' | ||
(i) | Income Taxes | ||
The Company utilizes the liability method of accounting for income taxes as set forth in the authoritative guidance. Under the liability method, deferred taxes are determined based on the temporary differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using tax rates expected to be in effect during the years in which the basis differences reverse. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As there is no certainty that the Company will generate taxable income in the foreseeable future to utilize tax losses accumulated to date, no provision for ultimate tax reduction has been made in these financial statements. | |||
On November 1, 2007, the Company adopted the guidance issued for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes which provides detailed guidance for the financial statement recognition, measurement and disclosure of uncertain tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements. Income tax positions must meet a more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date to be recognized upon the adoption of the guidance and in subsequent periods. The Company recognizes potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits within operations as income tax expense. Upon adoption, there were no adjustments required. | |||
Stock-Based Compensation | ' | ||
(j) | Stock-Based Compensation | ||
The Company follows the authoritative guidance for stock-based compensation which 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 has also considered the related guidance of the SEC. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options and shares issued as compensation to employees and directors as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model and restricted stock based on the per share value. The Company also follows the guidance 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 which provides guidance on transactions in which (1) the fair value of the equity instruments is more reliably measurable than the fair value of the goods or services received and (2) the counterparty receives shares of stock, stock options, or other equity instruments in settlement of the entire transaction or, if the transaction is part cash and part equity instruments, in settlement of the portion of the transaction for which the equity instruments constitute the consideration. Options issued with a nominal exercise price in exchange for services rendered were measured at the fair value of the underlying services rendered on the date of grant. The expense was recorded to the consolidated statements of operations with a corresponding increase in share capital with no additional increase in the number of shares as they were legally not yet exercised. | |||
Net Loss Per Common Share | ' | ||
(k) | Net Loss Per Common Share | ||
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings (loss) per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings (loss) per share. | |||
Comprehensive Income (Loss) | ' | ||
(l) | Comprehensive Income (Loss) | ||
Other comprehensive income (loss), which includes only foreign currency translation adjustments, is shown in the consolidated statements of changes in equity (deficiency). | |||
Concentration of Credit Risk | ' | ||
(m) | 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 has not experienced any collection losses with these financial institutions. | |||
Use of Estimates | ' | ||
(n) | 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. By their nature, these estimates are subject to uncertainty and the effect on the consolidated financial statements of changes in such estimates in future periods could be material. | |||
Foreign Currency Translation | ' | ||
(o) | Foreign Currency Translation | ||
The Company maintains its accounting records for its Canadian operations in Canadian dollars. Transactions in United States dollars (“USD”) are translated into Canadian dollars at rates in effect at the date of the transaction and gains or losses on such transactions are recorded at the time of settlement in the consolidated statements of operations. | |||
The Company’s reporting currency is the United States Dollar. Foreign denominated assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into USD at the prevailing exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period, the historical rate for stockholders’ equity (deficiency) and a weighted average of exchange rate in effect during the period for expenses, gains and losses. Adjustments that arise from translation into the reporting currency are recorded in the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) component of stockholders’ equity (deficiency). | |||
Financial Instruments | ' | ||
(p) | Financial Instruments | ||
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to their short-term nature. Long-term debt and convertible debentures approximate their fair value based upon recent issuances of the underlying debt. | |||
Revenue Recognition | ' | ||
(q) | Revenue Recognition | ||
Revenue included in these consolidated financial statements is derived from sales of paramagnetic beads and is recognized on shipment to customers. | |||
Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements | ' | ||
(r) | Effects of 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 beginning in fiscal 2014. | |||
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. ASU 2013-02 requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of other accumulated income by component. In addition, ASU 2013-02 requires presentation, either on the face of the income statement or in the notes, of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by respective line items of net income, but only if the amounts required to be reclassified in their entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional details about those amounts. The amendments in ASU 2013-02 will be effective prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and interim periods within those annual periods. The accounting update will be applicable to the Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2014. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-02 to have a material effect on the consolidated financial statement presentation. | |||
Derivative Instruments | ' | ||
(s) | 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 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 consolidated balance sheet date. | |||
Beneficial Conversion Charge | ' | ||
(t) | 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. |
