January 31, 2015 and 2014
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 is that of a development-stage company, with 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.
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 January 31, 2015, their results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in deficiency for the three months ended January 31, 2015. 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, 2014 and 2013 (the “Audited Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s Form 10-K that was previously filed with the SEC on February 12, 2015 and from which the October 31, 2014 consolidated balance sheet was derived.
The results of the Company’s operations for the three months ended January 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending October 31, 2015.
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 January 31, 2015 of approximately $48.7 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 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 condensed consolidated balance sheet 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 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 January 31, 2015 approximated $6,987,000, which will expire from 2016 through 2035. All fiscal years except 2013 have been assessed.
A research and development tax credit for 2012 for which the Company received a refund of $81,460 is being refuted by Canadian taxation authorities. The Company is disputing the position taken by the taxation authorities, but has established a reserve against possible repayment.
Returns required in the US for the years 2008 through 2014 are yet to be filed. As of January 31, 2015, the Company believes it has net operating loss carryforwards from US sources of approximately $44,624,000 available to reduce future Federal taxable income which will expire from 2019 through 2034 once all returns are filed.
For the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate principally due to the net operating losses for which no benefit was recorded.

January 31, 2015 and 2014
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.
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.
On November 12, 2014, the Company received $50,000 from Chicago Ventures in exchange for a note payable bearing interest at 10% due in one year, convertible into shares in the Company’s common stock at a 40% discount from the lowest closing price of the common shares over the prior 15 days.
On November 20, 2014, the Company reached a settlement with IBC Funds, LLC (“IBC”) whereby IBC agreed to pay $78,026 of the Company’s debts in exchange for the right to purchase shares in the Company’s common stock at a 40% discount from the lowest closing price of the common shares over the prior 15 days.
On December 15, 2014, the Company received $52,500 from LG Capital in exchange for a note payable bearing interest at 8% due in one year, convertible into shares in the Company’s common stock at a 42% discount from the lowest closing price of the common shares over the prior 15 days.
A summary of the Notes Payable at January 31, 2015 and October 31, 2014 follows:

As described in further detail in Note 6, “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. The Company has recognized a derivative liability of $647,729 at January 31, 2015. 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 Company incurred a loss of $652,348 in the fair value for the three months ended January 31, 2015.
The Company estimated the fair value of the embedded derivatives using a Black Scholes model with the following assumptions: conversion price $0.024 + $0.026 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 223% to 342%, as of January 31, 2015. 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.
7. | 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. |

11. | Issuance of Common Stock |
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 three months ended January 31, 2015, the Company issued the following common shares:
Issued on conversion of notes payable | | | 10,917,218 | |
The following table sets forth the computation of weighted-average shares outstanding for calculating basic and diluted loss per share:
| | Three Months Ended January 31, | |
| | 2015 | | | 2014 | |
| | | | | | |
Weighted-average shares - basic | | | 74,095,036 | | | | 59,401,454 | |
Effect of dilutive securities | | | ▬ | | | | ▬ | |
Weighted-average shares - diluted | | | 74,095,036 | | | | 59,401,454 | |
Basic and diluted loss per share for the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014 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 representing 29,074,285 and 12,725,418 incremental shares, respectively, have been excluded from the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014 computations of diluted earnings per share as they are antidilutive given the net losses generated.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations
You should read this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations (“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 12, 2015.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The preparation of these unaudited condensed 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, derivative liabilities, 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, 2014, as outlined in our previously filed Form 10-K, have been applied consistently for the three months ended January 31, 2015.
Off-Balance Sheet arrangements
We are not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Revenues
During the three months ended January 31, 2015 and 2014, 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) customize 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 wages and 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 attributed primarily to a decrease in staff engaged in those activities in the current quarter vs. the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense
The decrease in interest expense is attributed primarily to the cost of carrying debentures payable which were converted to common shares late in the prior year.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have not generated significant revenues since inception. We incurred a net loss of approximately $1,061,000 and a cash flow deficiency from operating activities of approximately $208,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2015. We had sufficient cash at January 31, 2015 to fund approximately two months’ operations. 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, 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 activities 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 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 and whenever possible, seek to insure that subscription rates reflect increases in costs due to inflation.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
N/A.
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 control 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 control over disclosure controls and procedures for the quarter ended January 31, 2015 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 internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Management has identified the following material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting:
| ● | Lack of documented policies and procedures; |
| | |
| ● | Lack of effective review of the consolidated financial statements. |
| | |
| ● | Lack of 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 can be taken in order to address these material weaknesses.
(b) | Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting: |
During the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2015, 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.
