NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 31, 2014
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed financial statements include the accounts of CDEX Inc. as of July 31, 2014. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented have been made. The results for the three-month and nine-month periods ended July 31, 2014 may not be indicative of the results for the entire year. The interim unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our lack of earnings history and continued future losses could adversely affect our financial position and if we are unable to generate funds or obtain funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to continue operations.
The accompanying unaudited financial statements are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading.
Recent Developments
We have experienced net losses since our inception and, as of July 31, 2014, had an accumulated deficit of approximately $36 million. We do not expect to have positive cash flow from operations until we have deployed a sufficient number of our ValiMedTM G4 drug validation systems. As of July 31, 2014, we had approximately $45,000 in cash provided primarily through proceeds from our Warrant Exchange Offer, where we offered to all Warrant holders with an exercise price of $0.10 per share an opportunity to exercise their warrants for $0.02 a share in exchange for the number of shares of common stock issuable under the warrant and a warrant for half the number of shares of common stock issuable under the exercised warrant with an exercise price of $0.15 a share.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Management bases its assumptions on historical experiences and on various other assumptions that it believes 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. In addition, management considers the basis and methodology used in developing and selecting these estimates, the trends in and amounts of these estimates, specific matters affecting the amount of and changes in these estimates, and any other relevant matters related to these estimates, including significant issues concerning accounting principles and financial statement presentation. Such estimates and assumptions could change in the future as more information becomes known which could impact the amounts reported and disclosed herein. Significant estimates include revenue recognition, the valuation of inventory and stock-based compensation expense.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has reviewed, and continues to review, issued accounting pronouncements with the intent of adopting any that are applicable to it. The Company does not expect any recent pronouncements to have an impact on its results of operations or financial position.
2. Inventory - Net
Our inventories consisted of the following:

6. Share-Based Compensation
For the three months ended July 31, 2014, share-based compensation expense was approximately $-0-. For the nine months ended July 31, 2014, share-based compensation expense was approximately $9,000, which was primarily attributable to restricted stock grants issued to our independent Directors under the CDEX Inc. Board Compensation Plan.
For the three months ended July 31, 2013, share-based compensation expense was approximately $18,000, all of which was attributable to restricted stock grants issued for services. For the nine months ended July 31, 2013, share-based compensation expense was approximately $415,000, of which approximately $223,000 was attributable to options, $82,000 was attributable to warrants granted for services and $110,000 was attributable to restricted stock grants issued for services.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2014, 15,000 options were forfeited and approximately 276,000 shares of restricted stock were issued.
During the nine months ended July 31, 2013, 8,350,000 options were granted and 800,000 options were forfeited. During the period, options to purchase 8,000,000 shares of Class A common stock were granted to Mr. Brumfield, the Company’s CEO, with an exercise price of $0.05 a share exercisable for five years from the date of issuance and Mr. Brumfield forfeited the existing 800,000 options granted under his employment agreement. Additionally, options to purchase 150,000 and 200,000 shares of Class A common stock were, respectively, granted to Mr. Stevenson, a director of the Company and to Mr. McCommon, the Company’s CFO. These options have an exercise price of $0.05 a share and are exercisable for five years from the date of issuance.
We determine the fair value of share-based awards at their grant date, using a Black-Scholes Option Pricing Model applying the assumptions in the following table. No options were granted for the nine months ended July 31, 2014. Actual compensation, if any, ultimately realized by option recipients may differ significantly from the amount estimated using an option valuation model.

These forward-looking statements are based on the current plans and expectations of our management and are subject to a number of uncertainties and risks that could significantly affect our current plans and expectations, as well as future results of operations and financial condition and may cause our actual results, performances or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performances or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

OVERVIEW
CDEX Inc. (“CDEX,” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company”) is a technology development company incorporated in the State of Nevada on July 6, 2001 with a corporate office and research and development facility in Tucson, Arizona. Our Class A common stock is currently being traded on the OTCQB under the symbol "CDEX."
Our Company is widely recognized as a global leader in Enhanced Photoemission Spectroscopy. We have pioneered proprietary, patented technology that has been applied to create and bring to market two in-demand, proprietary product lines: ValiMed™ for the healthcare industry and ID2™ for the security industry.
Key competitive differentiators of CDEX’s solutions include:
| · | Powerful, real-time chemical detection and medication validation capabilities. |
| · | Highly reliable and accurate measurements. |
| · | Lower in cost to customers when compared to competing or alternative technologies. |
| · | Reduces potential errors in human interpretation. |
| · | CDEX has created an extensive and very valuable library of reference signatures (200+ for current CCT Model) and an ever expanding signature library for the ValiMed G4 of substances of interest, such as selected narcotics and high risk liquid compounded admixtures. Proprietary software validates a substance of interest by comparing its signature against the known reference signature of the substance of interest. The CDEX advantage is that substances of interest are tested at the base levels and their signatures are compared to the known signatures of the substance of interest. This provides rapid validation and authentication that the substance is genuine. |
| · | Our technology is not centered on packaging schemes such as holograms, inks, ingredient taggants or Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, all of which can be defeated by determined counterfeiters. |
| · | Our technology can be adapted to other products and markets, including identifying counterfeit drugs, protecting brands and identifying explosives’ signatures, among others. |
Virtually all CDEX product development has been based on applying the same underlying technologies. CDEX anticipates developing and/or acquiring other technologies in the future through partnering and investment. However, unless and until such time as we acquire or develop other technology assets, all of the Company's revenues will come from products developed from our current suite of patents and patent pending technologies, or through licensing arrangements with companies with related intellectual property.
Our Technology.
Our research and development efforts have centered on, but are not limited to, the use of excitation energy sources and patented/patents pending processing technology for substance verification, authentication and identification. When certain substances are exposed to excitation energy, the substances produce photons at specific wavelengths that form unique spectral fingerprints, which can be used as signatures to validate and authenticate the substances.
CDEX creates reference signatures of substances of interest, such as select narcotics, explosive compounds and medicines. CDEX software validates a substance of interest by comparing its signature against the known reference signature of the substance of interest in the database.
The CDEX advantage is that substances of interest are tested at the base levels and their signatures are compared to the known signatures of the substance of interest contained in the database. This provides rapid validation and authentication that the substance is genuine. CDEX technology is not centered on packaging schemes such as holograms, inks, ingredient taggants or Radio Frequency Identification (or RFID) tags, all of which can be defeated by determined counterfeiters.
Products.
We are currently focusing our resources on marketing and improving real-time (within seconds) chemical detection products using proprietary, patented and patents pending technologies. Our primary focus in 2013, which continued through the three months ended July 31, 2014, was the continued development and enhancement of our ValiMed G4 system (“VG4”) for use in the pharmaceutical market and sales of our ID2 product for the security markets with our principal product lines noted below. The Company continues to explore unique opportunities where its proprietary technology may provide low cost/real time solutions to growing security or liability concerns such as conducting urine, blood and saliva analysis for detecting illegal drugs and performance enhancement substances in the work place or sporting environment.
Healthcare Market.
Our ValiMed Medication Validation System (“MVS”) product line – consists of two products: our third generation ValiMed system, marketed as ValiMed CCT (“CCT”)and the ValiMed G4 (“VG4”). Both ValiMed systems help healthcare providers ensure patient safety and control costs by reducing medication errors and mitigating drug diversion, utilizing our patented and patent pending process known as Enhanced Photoemission Spectroscopy.
The VG4 system uses a patented detection process providing a real time (within seconds), quantitative (strength/concentration) and qualitative (identification of known) analysis of high-risk single component compounded medications and treatment solutions. The CCT system, which is operating in numerous hospital settings around the country, provides the healthcare industry with the ability to verify a known substance, specifically a known drug with a known strength/concentration, in a known diluent. The CCT system also utilizes our proprietary cuvettes in the process. Both devices help healthcare facilities comply with Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations compliance requirements and United States Pharmacopeia's General Chapter 797 Pharmaceutical Compounding—Sterile Preparations (“USP 797”) guidelines for compounding sterile preparations. Both systems also provide a recurring revenue stream and address three problem areas in the healthcare market: (i) human error in the compounding of medications, with an emphasis on, but not limited to high risk medications; (ii) harmful counterfeit medications and (iii) diversion of hospital narcotics.
In the near future, we expect the VG4 product line to address multi component compounded admixtures, such as total parenteral nutrition. We expect to add oncology drugs to our formulary in 2016 as well. One of the most significant improvements with the VG4 is the capability to analyze through most containers that are currently being used in pharmaceutical settings. This provides our end users with a more streamlined application, with less labor and without compromising the sterility of the compounded admixtures.
Security Market.
Our ID2 product line – provides solutions for real time (within seconds) detection of specified illegal drugs. This product line currently comprises two devices, both which are hand-held models that detect methamphetamine. The ID2 Meth Scanner is a device that is used for the detection of methamphetamine in the home inspection industries, by housing authorities, the hotel industry and in our nation’s prisons and correctional facilities. The Pocket ID2 is a pocket-sized hand-held device that currently detects visible and prosecutable quantities of methamphetamine. We expect to expand our detection capabilities to include other drugs such as cocaine, heroin, OxyContin and Ecstasy in the near future.
We continue to explore opportunities to apply the ID2 technology to a table top device that will be portable and able to detect trace amounts of specified illegal drugs and explosives in real-time. Our ID2 products have applications in all areas of law enforcement, including local police and sheriff departments, U.S. border patrol, port authorities, TSA, FBI, U.S. Military, and other agencies engaged in counternarcotics.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
We rely on non-disclosure agreements, patent, trade secret and copyright laws to protect the intellectual property that we have and plan to develop, but such laws may provide insufficient protection. Moreover, other companies may develop products that are similar or superior to ours or may copy or otherwise obtain and use our proprietary information without authorization. In addition, certain of our know-how and proprietary technology may not be patentable. Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary and other intellectual property rights could entail significant expense and could be difficult or impossible to do. In addition, third parties may bring claims of copyright or trademark infringement against CDEX or claim that certain of our processes or features violate a patent, that we have misappropriated their technology or formats or otherwise infringed upon their proprietary rights. Any claims of infringement, with or without merit, could be time consuming to defend, result in costly litigation, divert management’s attention, and/or require CDEX to enter into costly royalty or licensing arrangements to prevent further infringement, any of which could adversely affect our operating results. The Company makes business decisions regarding which inventions to patent, and in what countries.
Our competitive position also depends upon unpatented trade secrets. Trade secrets are difficult to protect. Our competitors may independently develop proprietary information and techniques that are substantially equivalent to ours or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets, such as through unauthorized or inadvertent disclosure of our trade secrets.
