CardioGenics Holdings Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
July 31, 2014 and 2013
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 to the In Vitro Diagnostics testing market. CardioGenics has several test products that are in various stages of development.
CardioGenics’ business has a limited history of operations and whose revenues, to date, have been primarily comprised of grant revenue and Scientific Research Tax Credits from government agencies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining regulatory approval for the marketing of any of the existing or future products that the Company will succeed in developing.
On October 27, 2009, the name of the Company was changed from JAG Media Holdings, Inc. to CardioGenics Holdings, Inc.
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 (“US GAAP”) as of July 31, 2014, their results of operations for the three and nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, changes in deficiency for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and cash flows for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 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 US 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, 2013 and 2012 (the “Audited Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s Form 10-K that was previously filed with the SEC on February 13, 2014 and from which the October 31, 2013 consolidated balance sheet was derived.
The results of the Company’s operations for the nine months ended July 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending October 31, 2014.
The accompanying condensed interim 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 an accumulated deficit at July 31, 2014 of approximately $46.3 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.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
July 31, 2014 and 2013
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.
3. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. |
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
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.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Revenue From Contracts With Customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued an update to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This update to ASC 606 provides a five-step process to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that a Company should recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods and services. This update to ASC 606 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, providing guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improving guidance for multiple-elementarrangements. This update to ASC 606 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

Development Stage Entities: Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements
On June 10, 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities: Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The update removes the definition of a development stage entity from FASB ASC 915 and eliminates the requirement for development stage entities to present inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity. The Company already adopted this standard for the period covered by the report herein.
Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards group with future effective dates are either not applicable or not significant to the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
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, 2014, approximated $9,789,000 (2013 - $6,816,000) which will expire from 2015 through 2033. 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 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007 and July 2009.
As of July 31, 2014, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards from US sources of approximately $41,686,000 (2012 - $40,809,000) available to reduce future Federal taxable income which will expire from 2020 through 2033. Returns for the years 2008 through 2013 are yet to be filed.
For the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, 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 year a shareholder/officer advanced $22,957 to the Company. The advance carries no interest and is due on demand.
On November 19, 2012 the Company entered into an agreement (“Line”) with JMJ Financial (“Lender”) whereby the Company may borrow up to $350,000. The Line is subject to an original issue discount of $50,000. Advances under the Line (“JMJ 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 repaidbefore 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. During the nine months the Company drew $75,000 under the Line.

July 31, 2014 and 2013
On May 23, 2014 the Company issued promissory notes (the “LG Notes”) to LG Capital Funding, LLC and Adar Bays, LLC (collectively the “Holders”) in the amount of $52,500 each bearing interest at 8% annually due May 23, 2015. The LG Notes and accrued interest may be converted into shares of the Common Stock of the Company at a 42% discount to the lowest closing bid with a 12 day look back. The LG Notes may be prepaid with the following penalties: (i) if the Notes are prepaid within 60 days of the issue date, then at 130% of the face amount plus any accrued interest; and, (ii) if the LG Notes are prepaid after 60 days after the issue date but less than 181 days after the issue date, then at 140% of the face amount plus any accrued interest. The LG Notes may not be prepaid after the 180th day after issue.
A summary of the Notes 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. The discount to the Notes is amortized to Loss (Gain) in Change in Value of Derivative Liability over the life of the Note or until conversion. The amount charged to Loss (Gain) in Change in Value of Derivative Liability for the three and nine months was $246,430 and $247,249 respectively. 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 three and nine months, Notes in the principal amount of $12,653 and $60,000 respectively plus interest and original issue discount totaling $2,847 and $13,501 respectively were exchanged for 258,333 and 822,991 common shares respectively.
Convertible notes - embedded conversion features:
The JMJ Notes and the LG Notes meet the definition of a hybrid instrument, as defined in Accounting Standard Codification (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 has recognized a derivative liability of $428,675 and $99,702 at July 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, respectively. 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 statements of operations.

July 31, 2014 and 2013
The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives in the JMJ Notes using a Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: conversion price $0.06 per share according to the agreements; risk free interest rate of .11%; expected life of .53-.85 year; expected dividend of zero; a volatility factor of 187%-214%, as of July 31, 2014. The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives in the LG Notes using a Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: conversion price $0.058 per share according to the agreements; risk free interest rate of .11%; expected life of .81 year; expected dividend of zero; a volatility factor of 205%, as of July 31, 2014. 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, 2014, segregated by the level of the valuation inputs within the fair value hierarchy utilized to measure fair value:
| | Quoted Prices in | | | | | | | | Total Increase (Reduction) |

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 any time up to three years.
A summary of the Debentures is as follows:
| | July 31, 2014 | | | October 31, 2013 | |
| | | | | | |
Series A Convertible Debentures Payable, interest at 10% per annum to maturity at February 27, 2016 | | $ | 283,355 | | | $ | 288,584 | |

Less: Current portion | | | - | | | | - | |
Total Long-term portion | | $ | 477,883 | | | $ | 303,190 | |
Debt discount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the debentures. The amount amortized to interest expense for the period was $186,489.
On May 15, 2014, the Company received a notice of default (the “Default Notice”) from the debenture holder under Convertible Debenture No. SBCD-01, dated May 31, 2013 in the original principal amount of $500,000 (the “Debenture”), for failure to make the required interest payments under the Debenture.
On June 1, 2014, the Debenture holder and the Company entered into a Standstill and Debt Conversion Agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”) pursuant to which the Debenture holder agreed to (i) refrain from exercising or enforcing any right or remedy against the Company in connection with the Debenture and the Default Notice during a “Standstill Period,” which expired on July 31, 2014 and (ii) convert $350,000 in principal of the Debenture into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the “per share price” of an offering of the Company’s common stock involving Polish investors that was pending at the time, if and when such offering closed (the “Polish Offering”). In consideration for the Debenture holder’s forbearance and conversion obligations, the Company agreed to (i) pay the Debenture holder $150,000 in principal under the Debenture, and accrued interest as of the payment date, from the proceeds of the Polish Offering, if and when the Polish Offering closed. As the Polish Offering was terminated by the Company’s investment bankers prior to July 31, 2014, the Standstill Agreement expired by its terms on July 31, 2014.
On September 16, 2014, the Debenture holder and the Company agreed upon a final settlement, pursuant to which the Debenture holder would convert all accrued and unpaid interest, as well as all unpaid principal under the Debenture, into 5,507,979 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and 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 February 13, 2014.
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, derivative liability, 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, 2013, as outlined in our previously filed Form 10-K, have been applied consistently for the nine months ended July 31, 2014.
Related Party Transactions
An officer/shareholder loaned the company $22,957 in the third quarter of 2014.

Revenues
During the nine months ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 we generated no revenues.
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 increase in general and administrative expenses is attributable primarily to an increase 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. Research and development expenses in 2014 are less than for the same period last year due to reductions in staff in the current period.
Loss on change in value of derivative liability
The value of the derivative liability has increased due to the assumption of liabilities with derivatives attached, which increase has resulted in an increase in the loss on change in derivative liability.
Interest expense and bank charges
Interest expense consists primarily of interest on debentures and debt discount amortization on those debentures. The majority of the debentures were issued in the third quarter of 2013 so that the interest and discount in the 2014 period was substantially higher than that in 2013.

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 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. Research and development expenses in 2014 are less than for the same period in 2013 due to a reduction in staff in the current period.
Interest expense and bank charges
Interest expense consists primarily of interest on debentures and debt discount amortization on those debentures. The majority of the debentures were issued in the third quarter of 2013 so that the interest and discount in the 2014 period was substantially higher than that in 2013.
Loss on change in value of derivative liability
The value of the derivative liability has increased due to the assumption of liabilities with derivatives attached, which increase has resulted in an increase in the loss on change in derivative liability.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have not generated significant revenues since inception. We incurred a net loss of approximately $1,314,000 and a cash flow deficiency from operating activities of $540,987 for the nine months ended July 31, 2014. 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Revenue From Contracts With Customers
In May 2014, the FASB issued an update to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This update to ASC 606 provides a five-step process to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle of the guidance is that a Company should recognize revenue upon transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the expected consideration to be received in exchange for those goods and services. This update to ASC 606 will also result in enhanced disclosures about revenue, providing guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively, and improving guidance for multiple-element arrangements. This update to ASC 606 is effective for the Company beginning in fiscal 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
Development Stage Entities: Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements
On June 10, 2014, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities: Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The update removes the definition of a development stage entity from FASB ASC 915 and eliminates the requirement for development stage entities to present inception-to-date information on the statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders’ equity. The Company already adopted this standard for the period covered by the report herein.
Other pronouncements issued by the FASB or other authoritative accounting standards group with future effective dates are either not applicable or not significant to the consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) | Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures: |
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) of 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 internal controls over financial reporting for the quarter ended July 31, 2014 based on the criteria established inInternal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in 1992. Based on such assessment, our management concluded that during the period covered by this report, our internal controls over financial reporting were not effective. Management has identified the following material weaknesses in our internal controls 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; |
| | |
| ● | lack of resources to account for complex and unusual transactions; and |
| | |
| ● | lack of effective review of the consolidated financial statements |
| | |
| ● | Inadequate coordination between executive and financial management that led to transactions not being properly recorded. |
Management is currently evaluating what steps can be taken in order to address these material weaknesses.
(b) | Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting: |
During the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2014, 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.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
On April 22, 2009, the Company was served with a statement of claim from a former employee claiming compensation for wrongful dismissal and ancillary causes of action including payment of monies in realization of his investment in the Company, with an aggregate claim of $514,000. On January 3, 2014 the suit was settled for cash consideration of $10,000 plus 700,000 common shares.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Not Applicable.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
On May 15, 2014, the Company received a notice of default (the “Default Notice”) from the debenture holder under Convertible Debenture No. SBCD-01, dated May 31, 2013 in the original principal amount of $500,000 (the “Debenture”), for failure to make the required interest payments under the Debenture.
On June 1, 2014, the Debenture holder and the Company entered into a Standstill and Debt Conversion Agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”) pursuant to which the Debenture holder agreed to (i) refrain from exercising or enforcing any right or remedy against the Company in connection with the Debenture and the Default Notice during a “Standstill Period,” which expired on July 31, 2014 and (ii) convert $350,000 in principal of the Debenture into common stock of the Company at a conversion price equal to the “per share price” of an offering of the Company’s common stock involving Polish investors that was pending at the time, if and when such offering closed (the “Polish Offering”). In consideration for the Debenture holder’s forbearance and conversion obligations, the Company agreed to pay the Debenture holder $150,000 in principal under the Debenture, and accrued interest as of the payment date, from the proceeds of the Polish Offering, if and when the Polish Offering closed. As the Polish Offering was terminated by the Company’s investment bankers prior to July 31, 2014, the Standstill Agreement expired by its terms on July 31, 2014.
On September 16, 2014, the Debenture holder and the Company agreed upon a final settlement, pursuant to which the Debenture holder would convert all accrued and unpaid interest, as well as all unpaid principal under the Debenture, into 5,507,979 shares of the Company’s common stock.
