The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

General

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 OTCBB under the symbol "CEXI.OB." Our long term strategic plans focus on applying our patented and patents pending chemical detection technologies to develop products in various markets including the healthcare, security and brand protection markets, as addressed below:

 
1.
Healthcare - Validation of medications, training and quality assurance (e.g., validation of prescription and compounded medications to provide for patient safety, training of medical staff regarding compounding practices and detection of the diversion of narcotics and controlled substances);

 
2.
Security and Public Safety - Identification of substances of concern (e.g., explosives, illegal drugs and the detection of counterfeit drugs and medications to assist in the protection of the nation's drug supply); and

 
3.
Brand Protection - Detection of counterfeit or sub-par products for brand protection (e.g., inspection of incoming raw materials, outgoing final products and products in the distribution channel).

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 patents 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 selected 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.

 
1

 
 
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. CDEX technology is not centered on packaging schemes such as holograms, inks, ingredient taggants 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 area of focus in 2010 and beyond continues to be products in the medical and security markets with our principal product lines noted below:

 
1.
Healthcare Market.
ValiMed™ Medication Validation System (MVS) Product Line - Validation of substances, training and quality assurance. This product line, with stand-alone units and ancillary products providing a recurring revenue stream, is installed in a number of hospitals and addresses 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 and soon to address multi compounded cocktails, such as total parenteral nutrition and Oncology admixtures, through the fourth generation of the ValiMed device which will be call the G4. (ii) harmful counterfeit medications; and (iii) diversion of hospital narcotics.

 
2.
Security Market.
CDEX ID2™ Product Line – real time detection of specified illegal drugs. This product line currently comprises two instruments. Both of the devices 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 and remediation industries, as well as housing authorities and the hotel industry. The Pocket ID2 is a pocket sized hand held device that currently detects visible and prosecutable quantities of methamphetamine, with other drugs such as cocaine, heroin, OxyContin and Ecstasy expected to come in the near future.  We are currently in the early stages of applying the ValiMed technology to a table top device that is expected to be portable and able to detect trace amounts of specified illegal drugs and explosives in virtually real time.  The products mentioned above will most likely be of interest by all areas of law enforcement, such as police and sheriff departments, U.S. border patrol, port authorities, the TSA, the FBI, all of the U.S. Military, and many other agencies.

2010 Year in Review

This past year at CDEX saw many changes. We were able to bring back our chief scientist Dr. Wade Poteet, Carey Starzinger our software engineer, and Jim Ryles our hardware engineer. We also significantly trimmed our workforce as well as our recurring monthly expenses.  During this time, we also experienced significant turnover in the Board of Directors and management of the Company. With these changes we were able obtain new operating capital, increase and improve our products, bring a renewed interest from our existing clients, as well as a significant increase in new prospects for all divisions. We were able to add a new distributor for our ID2 product line, and we are negotiating with other domestic and international distributors as well.

Research and Development (“R&D”)

R&D efforts were primarily directed towards continued refining and expansion of the ValiMed MVS.  With the rollout of the next generation of our ValiMed product that we are calling the G4 and our ID2 product line with the enhanced ability to calibrate the Meth Scanner to detect specific levels of methamphetamine according to each individual State standard, and the creation of the Pocket ID2 for law enforcement.  R&D costs were $109,952 for fiscal 2010 compared to $310,499 for fiscal 2009.

We have historically outsourced certain engineering and manufacturing tasks while retaining control of critical technology and will continue this practice. Previously, we entered into Master Services Agreements with several engineering/manufacturing organizations. The agreements generally provide for the contractors to provide services to CDEX from time to time, which are to be set forth more specifically in "statements of work" to be executed by each party. Such services may include, without limitation: (i) non-recurring engineering services such as product design, creation and modification of bills of materials, engineering drawing packages, work instructions, manufacturing specifications, fabrication documents and drawings and survey documents; (ii) prototyping services such as the development and testing of product prototypes; and (iii) other related design and manufacturing services as needed. Payments for services performed are on a time and materials or fix price basis, all as set forth in the statement of work pertaining to the particular services.

Industry and Competition

(i) Healthcare

Healthcare spending is fueled in some measure by an aging population and increasing cost of healthcare technology. The past year saw a draw-down in the capital and a tightening of the operating budgets of hospitals, due in part to the recent global economic downturn and the uncertainty of health care reform legislation.  However, we do not expect an overall change in the mega trend of increasing needs for health care products.  There are multiple drivers of demand for the Company's ValiMed products. Medication errors are a major problem in the global healthcare market and we expect resources will continue to be allocated to help prevent these errors from occurring. To quantify the problem, it is estimated between 44,000 and 98,000 deaths occur annually due to preventable errors and 770,000 patients are injured by adverse drug events (Institute Of Medicine Report “To Err Is Human”). A study published by Auburn University reported an 8% error rate while observing pharmacist mixing IV preparations.  Finally, the University of Michigan conducted a study of the ValiMed unit and determined that even though they knew that high risk compounded medications would be checked through the ValiMed system, five major compounding errors were made in an 18 month time period that would have gone undetected had not the ValiMed system been in place.  In addition, impaired clinicians present a major problem in healthcare. It is published in the medical literature (AANA J. 1999 Apr; 67(2): 133-40) that approximately 5% to 10% of all healthcare workers with access to narcotics are users of these substances. Substitution of water or saline for injectable narcotics is a common practice to divert and steal these medications.  Lastly, USP 797 regulations have been instituted to promote quality and sterility of compounded IV medications in pharmacies. These regulations are primarily focused on sterility of IV medications, but the accuracy of the end product is also included in the regulation, with adoption of a new zero tolerance policy for human error. Historically, pharmacists have performed a visual examination of the end product for accuracy. Based on the number of errors reported, this practice is not effective.

There are approximately 6,600 hospitals in the U.S., 3,000 of which have greater than 300 beds (Billian's Healthdata).  Adding in the targeted global market for CDEX healthcare products, the number of hospitals would exceed 12,000. The Company believes that its ValiMed products are applicable to a large number of these hospitals and in many cases multiple units would be needed to fulfill the institutions’ needs.

(ii) Security and Public Safety

Illicit and Counterfeit Drug Detection:  According to DEA congressional testimony by Joseph T. Rannazzisi, Deputy Chief, Office of Enforcement Operations Drug Enforcement Administration, methamphetamine is the number one drug problem in America today and the problem continues to increase. In a recent report by the Rand Corporation it was estimated that methamphetamine use alone costs the U.S. approximately $23 billion per year. Two competing technologies in the methamphetamine detection marketplace are test kits and ion mobilization units. Some of the test kits are inexpensive, but cannot readily detect trace amounts of methamphetamine on surfaces and are a destructive test. The ion mobilization units are expensive to purchase, and require a sophisticated user, airborne substances and relatively high maintenance. CDEX technology has the advantages of portability, ease of use, low maintenance and reduced costs.  The Company has also identified market opportunities for the application of its technology in the detection of counterfeit medications.

Explosive Detection:  CDEX believes the explosives detection marketplace is potentially significant because of growing awareness of terrorism due to recent world events. We believe that this marketplace possibly includes the following potential customers: militaries, airport/building security organizations and transportation related organizations, government, law enforcement organizations and school systems. These markets are global in perspective and large in size. Currently, domestic sales of people screening devices are dominated by a small number of products sold by a handful of vendors. CDEX believes that if it launches chemical detection products that those products will compete with existing detection products, and, depending on the application, may have a competitive advantage by being more advanced than existing tools in a number of areas. There are large competitors in this space that have significantly more resources than CDEX.

(iii) Brand Protection

While not currently a business focus, the Company believes Brand Protection may represent a significant business opportunity for the application of its technology. Based on worldwide counterfeit enforcement activity (investigations, raids, seizures, arrests, charges, convictions, sentences and civil litigation) for 2005, as reported through the DOPIP Security Counterfeit Intelligence Report, more than 3,700 incidents valued at approximately $3.2 trillion were analyzed from 133 countries. The eighth most commonly counterfeited category is Food & Alcohol with 64 incidents worth $11 million, and the fourteenth most commonly counterfeited category is Perfume & Cosmetics with 22 incidents worth $12 million.  U.S. companies, for instance, estimate that between $200 billion and $250 billion in annual revenue is lost to counterfeiters. The E.U. claims that 100,000 jobs are lost each year to the same trade. In 2003 it was estimated that counterfeit goods cost the state of New York $34 billion, depriving it of $1.6 billion in tax revenue (Scotsman.com news). The Company will continue to monitor this market application.

Sales and Marketing

Our continuing business vision is to develop technologies to the point of market or application viability and then, where management determines it to be beneficial, team with organizations to complete commercial deployment and/or distribution through our sales and marketing channels. In some instances, we may take a technology directly to market. In others, we may seek to license the technology to third parties who will then develop and market products employing it. Our products and technologies may be licensed to original equipment manufacturers, sold direct or via resellers as standalone end units, or be integrated as sensors that gather and relay information to an integrated solution that is the repository of information gathered from many sources (e.g., in security applications from perimeter, environmental and structural security devices and medication delivery systems).  Accordingly, our prospective "client base" varies depending on the application and the stage of development. In marketing our chemical detection products and technologies, we intend to target, via partnerships as well as direct sales, both U.S. and foreign governments, in addition to private industry or individuals requiring confirmation of the presence or absence of substances.

We are currently reaching potential customers and partners through our website, participating in industry events such as trade shows and public meetings, distributing product information through targeted mailings and direct sales activities which include demonstrations of product application and traditional advertising. Planned advertising activities include trade and industry magazines and managed clinical trials where researchers are likely to publish articles discussing the results of the trials. We also anticipate reaching prospective customers via strategic relationships.

As the Company’s domestic markets related to ValiMed expand, we will focus more on international markets.  We have established an international presence in Europe and the Middle East and have also received unsolicited contacts by prospective partners from a number of other international areas, including Taiwan, Vietnam, Korea, Malaysia, Japan, Australia and China based on information on our website www.cdex-inc.com. These contacts were primarily interested in explosive and drug detection, ValiMed and the technology's potential use in the brand protection industry. These contacts may never result in revenue or relationships that will benefit CDEX. CDEX has not applied for licenses or permits to do business directly in any foreign country. CDEX has obtained TUV certification for its ValiMed product with Elliott Labs in Fremont, California. TUV tests and certifies that products meet electrical safety standards and electromagnetic interference and compatibility (EMI/EMC) standards. TUV tests and certifies to UL standards for the U.S. market and CE standards for the European Union market.

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.

Government Regulation

The products developed may be subject to various governmental regulations and controls, including that associated with international manufacturing, handling and transport; security products in airports; handling of sensitive substances such as illegal drugs, medications, and explosive materials and related potentially harmful energy such as x-ray energy. The storage and handling of certain explosive materials and drugs is subject to licensure. It is possible that government agencies may develop additional regulations that impact our initial and future products.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") has jurisdiction to regulate computer products and software as medical devices if they are intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease. We have preliminarily determined that our initial products are not medical devices. However, further investigation or a change in FDA policy could subject us to regulation. Noncompliance with applicable FDA requirements can result in such things as fines, injunctions and suspension of production.

We are subject to Regulation 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), which regulates proxy solicitations. Section 14(a) requires all companies with securities registered pursuant to Section 12(g) thereof to comply with the rules and regulations of the Commission regarding proxy solicitations, as outlined in Regulation 14A. Matters submitted to stockholders at a special or annual meeting thereof or pursuant to a written consent will require us to provide its stockholders with the information outlined in Schedules 14A or 14C of Regulation 14; preliminary copies of this information must be submitted to the Commission at least 10 days prior to the date that definitive copies of this information are forwarded to stockholders.

We are also required to file annual reports on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q with the Commission on a regular basis, and will be required to timely disclose certain events (e.g., changes in corporate control; acquisitions or dispositions of a significant amount of assets other than in the ordinary course of business; and bankruptcy) in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

We believe that these reporting obligations will increase our annual legal and accounting costs.

Except as mentioned above, we are not currently aware of any other U.S. federal, state or local laws that would have a significant adverse impact on development and distribution of our initial products. However, various federal, state or local agencies may propose new legislation pertaining to the use of potentially dangerous materials, to the discharge of materials into the environment, to the manufacturing or marketing of chemical validation products (or designation of one or more of our chemical validation products as medical devices) and/or otherwise potentially relating to the our business that may require us to allocate a portion of our operating budget to ensure full compliance with such regulations.

Cost of Compliance with Environmental Laws

At this time our business activities are not subject to any environmental laws or governmental regulation nor do we anticipate that our future business activities will subject us to any environmental compliance regulations.

Employees

At January 19, 2011, the Company had six full time employees and contractors.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider each of the following risk factors and all of the other information in this annual report. The following risks relate principally to our business and contain forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" at the beginning of Part I of this annual report.

A HISTORY OF OPERATING LOSSES AND AN ACCUMULATED DEFICIT MAY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO SURVIVE.

We have a history of operating losses and an accumulated deficit. Since our principal activities to date have been limited to organizational activities, research and development, product development and marketing and sales, CDEX has produced limited revenues. In addition, we have only limited assets. As a result, we cannot be certain that CDEX will continue to generate increased revenues or become profitable in the future. If we are unable to obtain sufficient customers and generate sufficient revenues to operate profitably, our business will not succeed.


CDEX HAS RECEIVED A “GOING CONCERN” OPINION FROM ITS INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM THAT EXPRESSES UNCERTAINTY REGARDING ITS ABILITY TO CONTINUE AS A GOING CONCERN.

We have received reports from our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2004 through 2010 containing an explanatory paragraph that expresses uncertainty regarding our ability to continue as a going concern due to historical negative cash flow. We cannot be certain that our business plans will be successful or what actions may become necessary to preserve our business. Any inability to raise capital may require us to reduce operations or could cause our business to fail.

Our limited operating history makes our future operating results unpredictable rendering it difficult to assess the health of our business or its likelihood of success. The inability to assess these factors could result in a total loss of an investor's investment in CDEX.

In the case of an established company in an ongoing market, investors may look to past performance and financial condition to get an indication of the health of the company or its likelihood of success. Our short operating history and the evolving nature of the chemical identification markets in which we focus make it difficult to forecast our revenues and operating results accurately. We expect this unpredictability to continue into the future due to the following factors:

 
·
the timing of sales of all of our products and services, particularly in light of our limited sales history for some of our products;
 
·
difficulty in keeping current with changing technologies;
 
·
unexpected delays in introducing new products, new product features and services;
 
·
increased costs and expenses, whether related to sales and marketing, manufacturing, product development or administration;
 
·
deferral of recognition of our revenue in accordance with applicable accounting principles due to the time required to complete projects;
 
·
the mix of product license and services revenue; and
 
·
costs related to possible acquisitions of technologies or businesses.

CDEX could experience operating losses or even a total loss of our business which, as a result of the foregoing factors, would be difficult to anticipate and could thus cause a total loss of capital invested in CDEX.

LACK OF ADDITIONAL FINANCING COULD PREVENT US FROM OPERATING PROFITABLY WHICH, EVENTUALLY, COULD RESULT IN A TOTAL LOSS OF OUR BUSINESS.
 
Since our inception, we have funded our operations through revenue from the sale of our products, borrowings and financings. Current funds available to CDEX may not be adequate for us to be competitive in the areas in which we intend to operate, and we have no arrangements or commitments for ongoing funding. If funding is insufficient at any time in the future, we may not be able to grow revenue, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures. The unavailability of funding could prevent us from producing additional revenues or ever becoming profitable. Our continued operations, as well as the successful implementation of our business plan, may therefore depend upon our ability to raise additional funds through bank borrowings or equity or debt financing over the next twelve months. We continue to seek prospective investors who may provide some of this funding. However, such funding may not be available when needed or may not be available on favorable terms. Certain family members or business entities of our management team have loaned funds to CDEX on an as-needed basis, although there is no definitive or legally binding arrangement to do so. If we do not produce revenues and become profitable, eventually, we will be unable to sustain our business.

IF WE ISSUE ADDITIONAL EQUITY TO FUND OPERATIONS OR ACQUIRE BUSINESSES OR TECHNOLOGIES, CDEX SHAREHOLDERS WILL EXPERIENCE DILUTION PROPORTIONAL TO THE ISSUED EQUITY.

If working capital or future acquisitions are financed through the issuance of equity securities, CDEX shareholders will experience dilution proportional to the equity issued. In addition, securities issued in connection with future financing activities or potential acquisitions may have rights and preferences senior to the rights and preferences of the currently outstanding CDEX shares of common stock. The conversion of future debt obligations into equity securities could also have a dilutive effect on our shareholders. Regardless of whether our cash assets prove to be inadequate to meet our operational needs, we may elect to compensate providers of services by issuing stock or stock options in lieu of cash.

OUR POTENTIAL INABILITY TO PROTECT THE PROPRIETARY RIGHTS IN OUR TECHNOLOGIES AND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY MAY HAMPER OUR ABILITY TO MANUFACTURE PRODUCTS, WHICH WOULD PREVENT US FROM EARNING REVENUES OR BECOMING PROFITABLE.

Our success and ability to compete will depend in part on the protection of our patents and other proprietary information. We currently have two patents issued and others in various stages of government review for our chemical detection technologies. We rely on non-disclosure agreements and patent and copyright laws to protect the intellectual property that we have developed and plan to develop. However, such agreements and 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. If a third party were to violate one or more of our patents, we may not have the resources to bring suit or otherwise protect the intellectual property underlying the patent. In the event of such a violation or if a third party appropriated any of our unpatented technology, such party may develop and market products that we intend to develop and/or market. We would lose any revenues that we would otherwise have received from the sale or licensing of those products. This could prevent our ever making a profit on any products based upon the misappropriated technology.

Policing unauthorized use of our proprietary and other intellectual property rights could entail significant expense and could be difficult or impossible. 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 attention, and/or require CDEX to enter into costly royalty or licensing arrangements to prevent further infringement, any of which could increase our operating expenses and thus prevent us from becoming profitable.

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. If this occurs, our competitors may use our processes or techniques to develop competing products and bring them to market ahead of us. This could prevent us from becoming profitable.

We may rely on certain intellectual property licensed from third parties, and may be required to license additional products or services in the future, in order to move forward with our business plan. These third party licenses may be unavailable on acceptable terms, when needed or at all. An inability to enter into and maintain any of these licenses could prevent us from developing or marketing products based upon the underlying technology and could prevent us from earning revenues on these products or from becoming profitable.

OUR ABILITY TO SURVIVE MAY BE AFFECTED BY A LACK OF SUCCESSFUL MANUFACTURING EXPERIENCE.

CDEX itself has a growing but limited experience in manufacturing commercial quantities of products. We presently have no plans for developing in-house manufacturing capability beyond aggregating off-the-shelf components for our initial and limited production units into a final assembly. Accordingly, we primarily depend upon outside manufacturers to manufacture and assemble our products. In our early stages with each new product, we plan to do the final assembly and testing of the initial units in-house. We cannot be certain that the terms of such arrangement will be favorable enough to permit our products to compete effectively in the marketplace.

DEPENDENCE ON OUTSOURCED MANUFACTURING MAY AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO BRING PRODUCTS TO MARKET.

At present, we do not plan to do in-house production manufacturing of any of our products. While we currently do limited in-house assembly and primarily outsource the production manufacturing/assembly of our product, we are considering different possibilities for bringing different products to market, among them, licensing to third parties. The risks of association with outsourced manufacturers are related to their operations, finances and suppliers. CDEX would have little control over an outsourced manufacturer and may suffer losses if any outside manufacturer fails to perform its obligations to manufacture and ship the manufactured product. These manufacturers' financial affairs may also affect our ability to obtain product from them in a timely fashion should they fail to continue to obtain sufficient financing during a period of incremental growth. Problems with outsourced manufacturers could damage our relationships with our clientele and cost us future revenues. If we are unable to contract with adequate manufacturers, and in the absence of licensing or other means, we may be unable to market our products. This would prevent us from earning revenues.

LACK OF MARKET ACCEPTANCE MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO SELL PRODUCTS AND GENERATE REVENUES, WHICH COULD PREVENT US FROM EARNING REVENUES OR BECOMING PROFITABLE.

We cannot be certain that any products that we successfully develop will ever achieve wide market acceptance. Our products, if successfully developed, may compete with a number of traditional products manufactured and marketed by major technology companies, as well as new products currently under development by such companies and others that may be based upon technology that is different from ours. While we believe our technology is superior, we will have to demonstrate its superiority to these potential customers in order to sell our products and generate revenues. We may encounter similar obstacles in other application areas. The degree of market acceptance of our products will depend on a number of factors, including the establishment and demonstration of the efficacy of the product candidates, their potential advantage over alternative methods and reimbursement policies of government and third party payers. We cannot be certain that the marketplace in general will widely accept and utilize any of our products. If potential customers do not accept and purchase our products, we will be unable to generate revenues and become profitable.

WE INTEND TO MARKET OUR PRODUCTS IN INDUSTRIES WHERE TECHNOLOGY CHANGES RAPIDLY, AND WE WILL INCUR COSTS TO KEEP OUR PRODUCTS CURRENT AND INNOVATIVE. OUR FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RENDER OUR PRODUCTS OBSOLETE, WHICH COULD PREVENT US FROM EARNING REVENUES OR BECOMING PROFITABLE.

We hope to market our products in industries characterized by rapid change due to the introduction of new and emerging technologies. Critical issues concerning the governmental or commercial use of chemical detection mechanisms, including security, reliability, accuracy, cost, ease of use, accessibility, or potential tax or other government regulation, may affect the relevance and functionality of our products. Future technology or market changes may cause some of our products to become obsolete more quickly than expected. We will need to make research and development expenditures to create new features for our products to enhance their effectiveness and become and remain competitive. If we are unsuccessful in timely assimilating development changes in the various environments, we may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability.

POTENTIAL DEFECTS AND PRODUCT LIABILITY COULD RESULT IN DELAYS IN MARKET ACCEPTANCE, UNEXPECTED LIABILITY AND COSTS AND DIMINISHED OPERATING RESULTS.
 
Technology-based products frequently contain errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new versions are released. Defects and errors could be found in current versions of our products, future upgrades to current products or newly developed and released products. These defects could result in product liability suits, delays in market acceptance or unexpected redevelopment costs, which could cause any profits we might otherwise have to decline. We anticipate most of our agreements with customers will contain provisions designed to limit our exposure to potential product liability claims. It is possible, however, that we will be unable to negotiate such provisions with certain customers or that these provisions, if negotiated, may not be valid as a result of federal, state, local or foreign laws or ordinances or unfavorable judicial decisions. While CDEX has products liability insurance, a successful and significant product liability claim could damage our business, operating results and financial condition.

OUR POTENTIAL FUTURE BUSINESS AND/OR TECHNOLOGY ACQUISITIONS MAY BE UNPREDICTABLE AND MAY CAUSE OUR BUSINESS TO SUFFER.

CDEX intends to expand its operations through the acquisition of additional technologies, either by purchasing other businesses or acquiring their technological assets, which it perceives to be unexploited, and develop products based upon these technologies. We have not yet identified these specific technologies, and some of these technologies may be outside our current field of operations. However, we may be unable to identify any such businesses or technologies. Expansion may involve a number of special risks, including possible adverse effects on our operating results or financial condition (particularly in the event of impairment of acquired long-lived assets), diversion of management attention, inability to retain key personnel, risks associated with unanticipated events, any of which could prevent us from becoming profitable. In addition, if competition for acquisition candidates or technologies were to increase, the cost of acquiring businesses or technologies could increase as well. If we are unable to implement and manage our expansion strategy successfully, our business may suffer or fail.

SUBSTANTIAL COMPETITION MAY LIMIT OUR ABILITY TO SELL PRODUCTS AND THEREBY OUR CHANCES OF BECOMING PROFITABLE.

We may experience substantial competition in our efforts to locate and attract customers for our products. There may be competitors who may have greater experience, resources and managerial capabilities and may be in a better position than we are to obtain access to and attract customers. A number of larger companies similarly may enter some or all of our target markets and directly compete with us. In the areas of medical and pharmaceutical validation and brand protection, various existing technologies compete with ours and already are in use in the marketplace. These include radio frequency identification tags, taggant agents (chemical agents added to the target substance to serve solely as identifying tags), laboratory testing, refractometers and bar coding. If our competitors are more successful in marketing their products, we may be unable to achieve or maintain profitability.

LOSS OF ANY OF OUR CURRENT MANAGEMENT OR INABILITY TO RECRUIT AND RETAIN QUALITY PERSONNEL COULD ADVERSELY IMPACT OUR BUSINESS AND PROSPECTS. OUR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS EXERT SUBSTANTIAL CONTROL OVER OUR BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS.

We are dependent on our officers and other key personnel, and the loss of any of our key personnel could materially harm our business because of the cost and time necessary to retain and train a replacement. Such a loss would also divert management attention away from operational issues. This would increase costs and prevent or reduce our profits.

OUR MANAGEMENT LACKS EXPERIENCE IN THIS MARKET.

Although widely experienced in other industries, our current senior management team has limited experience leading the development, marketing and sales of technology products in the chemical detection and validation marketplace. This lack of experience could lead to inefficiency and slow the process of marketing our products and prevent us from making sales or becoming profitable.

THERE MAY BE CONFLICTS OF INTEREST BETWEEN OUR MANAGMENE AND THE COMPANY.
 
Conflicts of interest create the risk that management may have an incentive to act adversely to the interests of the Company. A conflict of interest may arise between the Company’s management’s personal pecuniary interest and their fiduciary duty to our stockholders.
 
WE DO NOT HAVE LONG-TERM AGREEMENTS WITH MANUFACTURERE AND SUPPIERS.
 
We presently order our components that make up our products on a purchase order basis from manufacturers and suppliers, and we do not have long-term manufacturing agreements with any of them. The absence of long-term agreements means that, with little or no notice, our manufacturers and suppliers could refuse to manufacture some or all of our product components, reduce the number of units that they will manufacture or change the terms under which they manufacture. If our manufacturers and suppliers stop manufacturing, we may be unable to find alternative manufacturers or suppliers on a timely or cost-effective basis, if at all, which would harm our operating results. In addition, if any of our manufacturers or suppliers changes the terms under which they manufacture for us, our costs could increase and our profitability would suffer.
 
OUR STOCK PRICE MAY BE VOLATILE.
 
The market price of our common stock will likely fluctuate significantly in response to the following factors, some of which are beyond our control: variations in our quarterly operating results; changes in financial estimates of our revenues and operating results by securities analysts; changes in market valuations; announcements by us of significant contracts, acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; additions or departures of key personnel; future sales of our common stock; stock market price and volume fluctuations attributable to inconsistent trading volume levels of our stock; commencement of or involvement in litigation.
 
IF WE ARE SUBJECT TO SC REGULATIONS RELATING TO LOW-PRICED STOCKS, THE MARKET FOR OUR COMMN STOCK COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
 
The Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted regulations concerning low-priced (or “penny”) stocks. The regulations generally define “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. Our stock will be classified as a penny stock.
 
The penny stock regulations require that broker-dealers, who recommend penny stocks to persons other than institutional accredited investors make a special suitability determination for the purchaser, receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction prior to the sale and provide the purchaser with risk disclosure documents that identify risks associated with investing in penny stocks. Furthermore, the broker-dealer must obtain a signed and dated acknowledgment from the purchaser demonstrating that the purchaser has actually received the required risk disclosure document before effecting a transaction in penny stock. These requirements have historically resulted in reducing the level of trading activity in securities that become subject to the penny stock rules.
 
The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these penny stock requirements may discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in the common stock, which could severely limit the market liquidity of our common stock and our shareholders’ ability to sell our common stock in the secondary market.

RECENT LEGISLATION ADDRESSING CORPORATE AND AUDITING SCANDALS MAY RESULT IN INCREASED COSTS OF COMPLIANCE.
 
An immediate and specific risk relates to the our ability to achieve and maintain effective internal controls in accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act the failure of which could lead to loss of investor confidence in our reported financial information. Pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we will be required to furnish a report by our management on our internal control over financial reporting.  If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, then our business and operating results could be harmed, investors could lose confidence in our reported financial information, and the trading price of our stock could drop significantly.   In order to achieve compliance with Section 404 of the Act, we will need to engage in a process to document and evaluate our internal control over financial reporting, which will be both costly and challenging.  In this regard, management will need to dedicate internal resources, engage outside consultants and adopt a detailed work plan.
 
LACK OF KEY MAN INSURANCE

The Company carries no key-man insurance. In the event that any of the Company's senior executive officers departed the Company or passed away, the Company may not have the available funds to attract an individual of similar experience. The Company is considering obtaining key-man insurance once it has sufficient funds to do so.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS

None.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company leases approximately 3,000 square feet of office and laboratory space in Tucson, Arizona on a month-to-month basis. Monthly rent as of October 31, 2010 is approximately $2,600. Total rent expense was approximately $32,000 and $49,000 for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We may from time to time be involved in legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business. In June 2008, a lawsuit was filed by Hutchinson & Steffen in a Nevada District Court, Clark County, against the Company, alleging, among other things, breach of contract. On July 2, 2008, Hutchinson & Steffen and the Company entered into a settlement agreement, staying the legal proceedings pending completion of the terms of the settlement agreement. As of the date of this report, we have not received notice of any other legal proceedings regarding Hutchinson & Steffen.

On July 20, 2009, a former employee filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Arizona that CDEX discriminated against that employee because he did not attend a bible study held by some employees. As no amount of potential loss is both probable and estimable, no accrual has been made in the financial statements as of October 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, this claim is without merit and the Company will be successful in its defense of this complaint. In May 2010, the Company received a notice from the office of the Attorney General of Arizona that the case has been dismissed.

In August 2009, four former employees and one former contractor (“Claimants”) filed demands for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association related to deferred wages of approximately $89,000 and to the ownership of certain equipment. Management has accrued a provision for possible settlement of this dispute in the financial statements as of July 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009. A decision was issued by the Arbitrator which the Company received on June 11, 2010. The decision awarded the Claimants three times their deferred wages, plus attorney fees, totaling approximately $270,000. In September 2010, the Company settled with the Claimants where approximately $50,000 of the judgment was converted into two-year non-interest bearing notes, with monthly payouts, and where approximately $190,000 of the judgment was converted into 10% convertible notes due February 2012 convertible at $0.08 a share which is similar to the Gemini note from the February Financing. Additionally, the Claimants’ attorney costs and fees were paid and the disputed equipment was returned.

Due to the lack of liquidity, the Company is in arrears on a substantial number of its financial obligations. To date, most creditors have been willing to renegotiate the obligations as they become due or forestall any recourse they may have to collect their debts. However, should any of these creditors pursue recourse, the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern.

Subsequent to the period covered by this report, we received a claim of default from Hogan and Hartson. We are in discussion with Hogan and Hartson and they have taken no further action.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Market Information

Our Class A common stock is normally traded on the OTCBB under the symbol "CEXI.OB." Our shares are thinly traded with low average daily volume. This coupled with a limited number of market makers impairs the liquidity of our common stock, not only in the number of shares of common stock that can be bought and sold, but also through possible delays in the timing of transactions, and lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise prevail. This could make it difficult or impossible for an investor to sell shares of our common stock or to obtain a desired price.

Our common stock may be subject to the low-priced security or so called "penny stock" rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities. The Securities Enforcement and Penny Stock Reform Act of 1990 ("Reform Act") requires additional disclosure in connection with any trades involving a stock defined as a "penny stock" (generally defined as, according to recent regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions), including the delivery, prior to any penny stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the penny stock market and the risks associated therewith. The regulations governing low-priced or penny stocks sometimes may limit the ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and thus, ultimately, the ability of the investors to sell their securities in the secondary market. Prices for CDEX shares will be determined in the marketplace and may be influenced by many factors, including the depth and liquidity of the market for the shares, our results of operations, what investors think of CDEX and the chemical detection and validation industry, changes in economic conditions in the industry and general economic and market conditions. Market fluctuations could have a material adverse impact on the trading price of our shares.

If CDEX is unable to maintain NASD registered broker/dealers as market makers, the liquidity of our common stock could be impaired, not only in the number of shares of common stock that could be bought and sold, but also through possible delays in the timing of transactions, and lower prices for our common stock than might otherwise prevail. Furthermore, a lack of market makers could result in CDEX shareholders being unable to buy or sell shares of our common stock on any secondary market. We may be unable to maintain such market makers.

The table below sets forth the high and low sales price for our Class A common stock as reported on the OTCBB for each of our last two fiscal years:

Stockholders

As of January 19, 2011, there were approximately 1,500 holders of record of our Class A common stock. However, a large number of our shareholders hold their shares in "street name" in brokerage accounts and, therefore, do not appear on the shareholder list maintained by our transfer agent.

Dividends

We have paid no cash dividends on our common stock and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

Revenue was $408,774 and $480,439 for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, a decrease of $71,665 or 15%. This decrease was attributable to the delivery of fewer ValiMed units and associated installation revenue and lower sales of our ID2 product, partially offset by increases in our pay per use revenue and maintenance payments.

Cost of revenue was $61,724 and $105,671 for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, a decrease of $43,947 or 42%. This decrease was primarily attributable to the decreased number of ValiMed units that were sold during the year. Gross profit margins increased slightly from 78% in fiscal 2009 to 85% in fiscal 2010.

Selling, general and administrative expense was $1,204,546 and $1,326,852 for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, a decrease of $122,306 or 9%.  This decrease primarily relates to decreases in compensation of approximately $196,000, non-cash stock-based compensation expenses of $69,000, allowance for doubtful accounts of $37,000 and rent of $17,000.  These decreases were partially offset by an increase in legal and professional expenses of approximately $248,000, which includes the accrual for the decision imposed on the Company by arbitration with four former employees and one former contractor over deferred wages.

Research and development expense was $109,952 and $310,499 for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, a decrease of $200,547 or 65%. The decrease primarily relates to a decrease in employee and consultant compensation expense of approximately $232,000, which was affected by a significant reduction in staffing levels in May of 2009, partially offset by increases in expenditures for research and development materials of approximately $31,000.

 
15

 
 
Interest expense was $757,609 and $587,617 for the fiscal years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively. This increase in fiscal 2010 due to increased borrowing levels for fiscal 2010 compared to fiscal 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  To date, CDEX has incurred substantial losses, and will require financing for operating expense, working capital and other corporate purposes.  We anticipate that we will require financing on an ongoing basis unless and until we are able to support our operating activities with additional revenues.

As of October 31, 2010, we had negative working capital of $463,507, including $312,844 of cash. We anticipate the need to raise additional capital over the next twelve months to satisfy our current budgetary projections. Our continued operations, as well as the implementation of our business plan, therefore will depend upon our ability to raise additional funds through borrowings and equity or debt financings. If we are not successful in raising the required additional capital, we may default in our payments to creditors, which could result in our filing of bankruptcy protection. The Company is actively seeking new investments from its current accredited investors as well as new accredited investors. There is no assurance that the Company will succeed in these fund-raising efforts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

During February 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with its largest creditor, Gemini Master Fund, Ltd (“Gemini”), and with three other investors including an entity controlled by Malcolm H. Philips, Jr., our former CEO. Included in the agreement is the restructuring of the June 25, 2008 Senior Convertible Note held by Gemini where $1,151,100 of outstanding principal and accrued interest was capitalized into a new note bearing interest at 10% and convertible into Class A common stock at the rate of $0.05 per share for the first $800,000 of principal converted, and $0.08 per share for converted balances in excess of $800,000. The note matures on February 1, 2012, but has accelerated payment provisions and a contingent security interest, if certain financial milestones are not met.  Additionally because of the restructuring, the common Stock Purchase Warrant issued on June 25, 2008 to Gemini was adjusted. Included in the restructuring was a $450,000 cash infusion consisting of $200,000 from an entity controlled by Mr. Philips and $250,000 from two other investors, for which the Company issued notes similar to that issued to Gemini.  Additionally, as a part of this restructuring, $247,115 principal and accrued interest of existing Convertible Notes Payables held by an entity controlled by Mr. Philips were consolidated and exchanged for a new convertible note similar to that issued to Gemini.

The terms of our notes payable and additional notes entered into subsequent to October 31, 2009 are more fully described in Note 10 to the financial statements included elsewhere in this annual report.

We had a net increase in cash of $305,075 during fiscal year ended October 31, 2010. We used net cash of $193,240 in operating activities during fiscal 2010 primarily relates to our net loss of $1,737,945 and our negotiated settlements on accounts payable of $31,637 partially offset by noncash interest expense of $725,090, proceeds from our Oncology Exclusive Distribution Agreement of $483,500 an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $83,214, noncash stock-based compensation of $74,207, depreciation and amortization of $63,502 and decreases in accounts receivable and inventory of $52,784 and $47,629, respectively.

For fiscal 2010 our cash flows from investing activities consisted of the purchase of equipment for $12,449.

Net cash flows provided by financing activities were $510,764, for fiscal 2010, primarily from $514,950 proceeds from the issuance of notes payable.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

CDEX has not participated in any off balance sheet financing or other arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 valuation assumptions used in recognizing stock-based compensation expense.

Revenue Recognition

Sales revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement with the customer exists, products are shipped and installation, if necessary, completed, title passes pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the customer, the amount due from the customer is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and there are no significant future performance obligations. Service revenues are recognized at the time of performance. Service maintenance revenues are recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.  Deferred revenue represents amounts invoiced or received but not recognized as revenue if the above revenue recognition terms are not met.

Inventory
 
Inventory is valued at the lower of actual cost based on a first-in, first-out basis or market. Inventory includes the cost of component raw materials and manufacturing.

Stock-Based Compensation

We typically determined stock-based compensation expense based on the fair value of awards at the measurement date. In the case of employees, the measurement date is the date of grant. In the case of outside consultants, the measurement date is typically the date at which performance is complete. When the measurement date is not the date of grant, the total cost is typically re-measured at the end of each reporting period based on the fair value on that date. Expense related to share-based payments is recognized over the period during which services are provided.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ASU 2010-20”) which is intended to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about an entity’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financial receivables.  ASU 2010-20 is effective for us for the quarter ended January 31, 2010.  As the ASU specifically excludes short-term trade accounts receivable, the adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-12, "Accounting for Certain Tax Effects of the 2010 Health Care Reform Acts" ("ASU 2010-12"), which clarifies the effect, if any, that the different signing dates of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (signed March 23, 2010) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (signed March 30, 2010). ASU 2010-12 was effective for us upon issuance. The adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, "Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements", which amends ASU Topic 855, "Subsequent Events." The amendments to ASC Topic 855 does not change existing requirements to evaluate subsequent events, but: (i) defines a "SEC Filer," which we are; (ii) removes the definition of a "Public Entity"; and (iii) for SEC Filers, reverses the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. ASU 2010-09 was effective for us upon issuance. The adoption of the standard did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”.  ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures for (i) transfers of assets and liabilities in and out of levels one and two fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for such transfers and (ii) additional information in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level three). This guidance also clarifies existing disclosure requirements including (i) the level of disaggregation used when providing fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and (ii) the requirement to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for level two and three assets and liabilities.  ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about activity for level three fair value measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our Company's management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) for our Company. Our Company's internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance, not absolute assurance, regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our Company's assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, and that our Company's receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

 
18

 
 
As required by Rule 13a-15(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of October 31, 2010. Management's assessment took into consideration the size and complexity of the company and was based on criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control over Financial Reporting - Guidance for Smaller Public Companies. In performing the assessment, management concluded that internal control over financial reporting was not effective based on criteria set forth by the COSO. The material weaknesses identified in internal control over financial reporting at October 31, 2010 included the Company’s inability to maintain the proper protection of its accounting system database records and required improvements over the Company’s oversight of processing financing transactions relative to the Company’s notes payable and equity. Concerning this material weakness, management continues to examine the Company’s procedures to include compensating controls to minimize the risk associated with having limited resources.

Notwithstanding these material weaknesses, management believes that the Company’s financial condition, results of operations and cash flows presented in this annual report are fairly presented in all material respects. Management bases its conclusion on our ability to substantiate, with a high degree of confidence, the small number of significant general ledger accounts that comprise the Company’s financial statements.

This annual report does not include an attestation report of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the Company's independent registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission that permit the Company to provide only management's report in this annual report.
 
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures

Disclosure controls are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company's management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Company's CEO and CFO have concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of October 31, 2010.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting

During the year ended October 31, 2010 we made the following changes in internal control over financial reporting: With the reduction in staff, customer receipts are controlled by an individual who does not have access to the accounting records.  Additionally, an individual who does not have entry access to the Company’s accounting records performs the monthly bank reconciliation.

Stock Incentive Plans

2002 Stock Incentive Plan

On May 27, 2002, our Board of Directors adopted the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan, under which stock options and restricted stock may be granted to such of our officers, directors, employees or other persons providing services to CDEX as our Board of Directors, or a committee designated by them for this purpose, selects. The plan was approved by our stockholders on July 1, 2002.

Stock options granted under this plan may be nonqualified stock options or incentive stock options, as provided in the plan. Incentive stock options are to be issued in accordance with Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As such, incentive stock options may only be issued to employees of CDEX or any subsidiary of CDEX, must have an exercise price of no less than the fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant; provided, however, that in the event the grantee is a ten percent stockholder, the exercise price shall not be less than 110% of fair market value of the common stock on the date of the grant. The aggregate fair market value of the underlying shares cannot exceed $100,000 for any individual option holder during any calendar year. Incentive stock options granted to a ten percent stockholder must expire no later than five years from the date of grant. Non-incentive options are not subject to the restrictions contained in Section 422, except that pursuant to the plan, such options cannot be exercisable at less than 85% of fair market value and must expire no later than ten years from the date of grant. The options are non-transferable and may not be assigned except that non-incentive options may, in certain cases be assigned to family members of the grantee.

Upon termination of employment (other than for cause) of an employee grantee of options under this plan, the grantee shall have 60 days following such termination, or one year if such termination results from the grantee's death or disability (as defined in the plan), to exercise the vested portion of any option. Holders of options under the plan have no voting or other rights of shareholders except and to the extent that they exercise their options and are issued the underlying shares. Options under the plan may be exercised by the issuance of a promissory note from the grantee, or on a cashless basis by the grantee surrendering a portion of the shares issuable thereunder, as payment of the exercise price in lieu of cash.

 
25

 
 
Restricted stock granted under this plan may be issued subject to any restrictions set by our Board of Directors in its discretion except that the vesting restrictions for restricted stock granted to individuals who are not officers, directors or consultants of CDEX shall lapse no less rapidly than at a rate of 20% per year for each of the first five years from the grant date. However, the Board of Directors in its discretion may shorten or eliminate the restrictions. Generally, unless otherwise provided by the Board of Directors with respect to a particular grant of restricted stock, holders of restricted stock have the right to vote and receive dividends on their shares, including shares not yet vested. Also, unless otherwise so provided, any unvested shares are deemed forfeited by the grantee upon termination of such grantee's service with CDEX.

2003 Stock Incentive Plan

On July 1, 2003, our shareholders adopted the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan, which has substantially the same terms as the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan. At the annual meeting of stockholders held on June 30, 2004, the shareholders authorized 10,000,000 shares in the aggregate for issuance under both the 2002 and 2003 plans, including 3,000,000 available for the Board of Directors to allocate at their discretion. At the annual meeting of the stockholders held on March 17, 2006, the shareholders approved an amendment to the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan increasing the number of Class A common stock available for issuance by an additional 3,500,000 shares. This amendment increased the aggregate number of shares available for issuance under both the 2002 and 2003 Stock Incentive Plans to 13,500,000. The 2003 Stock Incentive Plan provides for a pro rata increase in the number of shares permitted to be granted or issued for an increase in the authorized shares approved by the shareholders. At a special shareholders' meeting held on January 9, 2007, the shareholders approved an increase in the number of authorized shares from 50.2 million to 100 million. This shareholder action resulted in an automatic increase in the number of shares permitted to be issued or granted under the 2003 Stock Incentive Plan to approximately 26.9 million. At the annual meeting of shareholders on April 9, 2008, the shareholders approved to limit the number of shares issuable under the Company's Stock Incentive Plans to 25% of the authorized shares of the Company. This action resulted in limiting the number of shares issuable under the plans to 25,000,000.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS

The following table sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of the Company's Class A common stock, based on information provided by the persons named below in publicly available filings, as of January 19, 2011:

 
·
each of the our directors and executive officers;
 
·
all directors and executive officers of ours as a group; and each person who is known by us to beneficially own more than five percent of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock.

Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner is care of CDEX Inc., 4555 South Palo Verde Road, Suite 123, Tucson, Arizona 85714. Unless otherwise indicated, the Company believes that all persons named in the following table have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock that they beneficially own.

For purposes of this table, a person is deemed to be the beneficial owner of the securities if that person has the right to acquire such securities within 60 days of January 19, 2011 upon the exercise of options or warrants. In determining the percentage ownership of the persons in the table below, we assumed in each case that the person exercised all options and warrants and converted all notes which are currently held by that person and which are exercisable/convertible within such 60 day period, but that options and warrants and convertible notes held by all other persons were not exercised or converted, and based the percentage ownership on 67,698,165 shares outstanding on January 19, 2011.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

During fiscal 2010, the Company was a party to the following transactions with related parties:
 
 
·
During the three months ended January 31, 2010, the Company received $49,800 in proceeds under 12.0% 24 month convertible notes payable with an entity controlled by Malcolm H. Philips, Jr., our former CEO and an additional $15,150 in proceeds under similar convertible notes payable with Messrs. Carmen J. Conicelli, Jr. and George Dials, former Directors.  These notes are convertible at the option of the note holders into common stock and warrants.  The price for the stock and warrants in the conversion of these notes will be equal to the corresponding conversion price provided to Gemini Master Fund in the Gemini/ CDEX 12% Senior Convertible Note or Common Stock purchase Warrant, both originally issued on June 25, 2008 (incorporated by reference to the comparable exhibit filed with the registrant’s form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 30, 2008), or the best terms given to an investor during the twelve months following the note date, including warrants. However, the note holder shall only receive the best terms that do not result in a resetting of the conversion price or warrant exercise price of the Gemini Convertible Note or Common Stock Purchase Warrant.

 
·
During January 2010, Gemini converted a portion of its note payable and accrued interest in the amount of $50,000 into 1,000,000 Class A Common Shares, or approximately $0.05 per share.

 
·
During February 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with its largest creditor, Gemini, and with three other investors including an entity controlled by Mr. Philips. Included in the agreement is the restructuring of the June 25, 2008 Senior Convertible Note held by Gemini where $1,151,100 of outstanding principal and accrued interest was capitalized into a new note bearing interest at 10% and convertible into Class A common stock at the rate of $0.05 per share for the first $800,000 of principal converted, and $0.08 per share for converted balances in excess of $800,000. The note matures on February 1, 2012, but has accelerated payment provisions and a contingent security interest, if certain financial milestones are not met.  Included in the restructuring was a $200,000 cash infusion from an entity controlled by Mr. Philips, for which the Company issued notes similar to the notes issued to Gemini.  Additionally, as a part of this restructuring, $247,115 of principal and accrued interest of existing Convertible Notes Payables held by an entity controlled by Mr. Philips were consolidated and exchanged for a new convertible note similar to that issued to Gemini.
 
 
28

 
 
 
·
During March 2010, Messrs. Conicelli and Dials and an entity controlled by Mr. Philips converted $25,462 principal and accrued interest of existing Convertible Notes Payables into new notes similar to that issued to Gemini in February 2010.

 
·
Effective August 20, 2010, the Company entered into an Exclusive Distribution Agreement, with a number of signatories including $50,000 from Mr. Thomas Payne, a former Director of the Company. The Agreement grants an exclusive United States distribution rights for all products developed by CDEX for application in the field of Oncology. The term of the Agreement is five (5) years from the Effective Date of the Agreement. Subsequent to October 31, 2010, Mr. Payne withdrew his investment.

 
·
During August 2010, the Company’s CFO entered into an agreement with the Company transferring $28,782 of deferred wages into a notes payable similar to that issued to Gemini.

 
·
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, as a part of the Company’s Board of Director 2010 Compensation Plan, the Company granted 260,600 restricted Class A common shares each to its directors Robert H. Foglesong and Thomas Payne and 246,314 restricted Class A common shares each to its directors Frank E. Wren and Brian M. Jenkins.  Subsequent to October 31, 2010, because he did not fulfill his full term as a Director of the Company, Mr. Payne returned his shares.
 
Director Independence
 
Four of our directors, Gen. Robert H. Foglesong, Mr. Brian M. Jenkins, Mr. Frank E. Wren and Dr. James G. Stevenson, are independent directors as that term is defined under NASDAQ Rules and Regulations.  However, because our stock trades on the OTC Bulletin Board, we are not required to have independent directors. If we ever become a listed issuer whose securities are listed on a national securities exchange or on an automated inter-dealer quotation system of a national securities association, which has independent director requirements, we intend to comply with all applicable requirements relating to director independence.

S.E.Clark & Company, P.C.

Registered Firm:  Public Company Accounting Oversight Board

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

Board of Directors
and Stockholders
CDEX Inc.
Tucson, Arizona

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of CDEX Inc. (the “Company”) as of October 31, 2010 and 2009 and the related statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficit, and cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement.  The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of CDEX Inc. as of October 31, 2010 and 2009 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 14 to the financial statements, the accumulation of losses and shortage of capital raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 14  The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

1. Organization of Business and Basis of Presentation

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 OTCBB under the symbol "CEXI.OB." Our long term strategic plans focus on applying our patented and patents pending chemical detection technologies to develop products in various markets including the healthcare, security and brand protection markets, as addressed below:

 
1.
Healthcare - Validation of medications, training and quality assurance (e.g., validation of prescription and compounded medications to provide for patient safety, training of medical staff regarding compounding practices and detection of the diversion of narcotics and controlled substances);

 
2.
Security and Public Safety - Identification of substances of concern (e.g., explosives, illegal drugs and the detection of counterfeit drugs and medications to assist in the protection of the nation's drug supply); and

 
3.
Brand Protection - Detection of counterfeit or sub-par products for brand protection (e.g., inspection of incoming raw materials, outgoing final products and products in the distribution channel).

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 patents pending technologies, or through licensing arrangements with companies with related intellectual property.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States 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 valuation assumptions used in recognizing stock-based compensation expense. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statement amounts to conform to the current presentation.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Sales revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an agreement with the customer exists, products are shipped and installation, if necessary, completed, title passes pursuant to the terms of the agreement with the customer, the amount due from the customer is fixed or determinable, collectability is reasonably assured and there are no significant future performance obligations. Service revenues are recognized at the time of performance. Service maintenance revenues are typically recognized ratably over the term of the agreement.  Deferred revenue represents amounts invoiced or received but not recognized as revenue if the above revenue recognition terms are not met.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the expected collectability of our accounts receivable. We perform credit evaluations of significant customers and establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the aging of receivables, payment performance factors, historical trends and other information. In general, we reserve a portion of those receivables outstanding more than 90 days and 100% of those outstanding more than 120 days. We evaluate and revise our reserve on a monthly basis based on a review of specific accounts outstanding and our history of uncollectible accounts. The changes to the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

   
2010
   
2009
 
             
Balance, beginning of the year
  $ 34,100     $ -  
Provisions, net of recoveries
    -       35,081  
Adjustments charged to reserves
    (2,325 )     -  
Bad debts charged to reserves
    (28,965 )     (981 )
                 
Balance, end of the year
  $ 2,810     $ 34,100  

Inventory

Inventory is valued at the lower of actual cost based on a first-in, first-out basis, or market. Inventory includes the cost of component raw materials and manufacturing. Due to the nature of our inventory, we analyze inventory on an item-by-item basis for obsolescence. The changes to obsolescence reserve for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

    Year Ended October 31,  
   
2010

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at historical cost and are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets, which range from two to seven years. Depreciation expense was $22,240 and $31,917 for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Beneficial Conversion Features
 
The intrinsic value of a beneficial conversion feature inherent to a convertible note payable, which is not bifurcated and accounted for separately from the convertible note payable and may not be settled in cash upon conversion, is treated as a discount to the convertible note payable. This discount is amortized over the period from the date of issuance to the date the note is due using the effective interest method. If the note payable is retired prior to the end of its contractual term, the unamortized discount is expensed in the period of retirement to interest expense. In general, the beneficial conversion feature is measured by comparing the effective conversion price, after considering the relative fair value of detachable instruments included in the financing transaction, if any, to the fair value of the common shares at the commitment date to be received upon conversion.

Research and Development Costs

Research and development costs include compensation for employees and contractors, rent, professional services, materials, lab equipment and disposals.

Share-Based Payments

Share-based compensation costs are recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expense in the Statements of Operations. Compensation expense for share-based payment arrangements with our employees is based on the grant date fair value of awards. We apply the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options and apply judgment in estimating key assumptions that are important elements in the model and in expense recognition, such as the expected stock-price volatility, expected stock option life, expected dividends and expected forfeiture rates. Restricted stock awards with performance based vesting provisions are expensed based on our estimate of achieving the specific performance criteria on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. We perform periodic reviews of the progress of actual achievement against the performance criteria in order to reassess the likely vesting scenario and, when applicable, realign the expense associated with that outcome.

For share-based payments to non-employee consultants, the fair value of the share-based consideration issued is typically used to measure the transaction, as management believes this to be a more reliable measure of fair value than the services received. We apply the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of stock options or warrants that are granted. Consideration for services rendered by non-employee consultants is generally measured at the fair value of the Company's common stock or stock options on the date that performance is complete.

Patents

The Company capitalizes the costs of obtaining patents when patents are granted. Patents are amortized over their useful lives, which is generally ten years.  Amortization expense relative to patents was $8,640 and $9,792 for fiscal 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Income Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized currently for the future tax consequences attributable to the temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amounts of deferred tax assets if it is more likely that such assets will not be realized. We consider all available evidence, both positive and negative, to determine whether, based on the weight of that evidence, a valuation allowance is needed for some portion or all of a net deferred tax asset. Judgment is used in considering the relative impact of negative and positive evidence. In arriving at these judgments, the weight given to the potential effect of negative and positive evidence is commensurate with the extent to which it can be objectively verified. We record a valuation allowance to reduce our deferred tax assets and review the amount of such allowance annually. When we determine certain deferred tax assets are more likely than not to be utilized, we will reduce our valuation allowance accordingly.

As of October 31, 2010 and 2009, we did not recognize any assets or liabilities relative to uncertain tax positions, nor do we anticipate any significant unrecognized tax benefits will be recorded during the next 12 months. Any interest or penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits is recognized in income tax expense. Since there are no unrecognized tax benefits as a result of tax positions taken, there are no accrued penalties or interest. We are subject to tax audits for our U.S. federal and certain state tax returns for tax years 2006 to 2008. Tax audits by their very nature are often complex and can require several years to complete.
 
Fair Value Measurements

The carrying amounts of items reflected in current assets and current liabilities, as well as notes payable, approximate their fair value due to the short-term nature of their underlying terms.

Concentrations

For fiscal 2010 and 2009, our revenues consisted of transactions with 25 and 38 customers, respectively. Four of our customers in fiscal 2010 represented approximately 56% of total sales and in fiscal 2009 four of our customers represented approximately 33% of total sales.

At times, the Company maintains cash balances that exceed federally insured limits.  Our cash balances are maintained with financial institutions with high credit standing and accordingly, the Company does not believe that this results in any significant credit risk.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic net loss per share was determined by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. The effect of common stock equivalents is not considered as it would be anti-dilutive.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-20, “Disclosures about the Credit Quality of Financing Receivables and the Allowance for Credit Losses (“ASU 2010-20”) which is intended to provide financial statement users with greater transparency about an entity’s allowance for credit losses and the credit quality of its financial receivables.  ASU 2010-20 is effective for us for the quarter ended January 31, 2010.  As the ASU specifically excludes short-term trade accounts receivable, the adoption of the standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-12, "Accounting for Certain Tax Effects of the 2010 Health Care Reform Acts" ("ASU 2010-12"), which clarifies the effect, if any, that the different signing dates of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (signed March 23, 2010) and the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (signed March 30, 2010). ASU 2010-12 was effective for us upon issuance. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the company’s financial statements.

In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-09, "Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements", which amends ASU Topic 855, "Subsequent Events." The amendments to ASC Topic 855 does not change existing requirements to evaluate subsequent events, but: (i) defines a "SEC Filer," which we are; (ii) removes the definition of a "Public Entity"; and (iii) for SEC Filers, reverses the requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. ASU 2010-09 was effective for us upon issuance. The adoption of the standard is not expected to have a significant impact on the company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU No. 2010-06, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”.  ASU 2010-06 requires new disclosures for (i) transfers of assets and liabilities in and out of levels one and two fair value measurements, including a description of the reasons for such transfers and (ii) additional information in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (level three). This guidance also clarifies existing disclosure requirements including (i) the level of disaggregation used when providing fair value measurement disclosures for each class of assets and liabilities and (ii) the requirement to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements for level two and three assets and liabilities.  ASU 2010-06 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about activity for level three fair value measurements, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010.  The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations.

8. Share-Based Payments

Stock Options and Stock Grants

The Company has a 2002 Stock Incentive Plan and a 2003 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plans”). The Plans provide for the issuance of stock options and stock grants. The 2002 Stock Incentive Plan permits the issuance of up to 3,500,000 shares through December 31, 2011. The 2003 Stock Incentive Plan permits the issuance of up to 25,000,000 shares through December 28, 2011, after subtracting any shares issued under the 2002 Plan. The 2003 Plan also provides for specific numbers of shares to be awarded upon the achievement of defined performance based milestones. As of October 31, 2010, there are 10,753,129 shares available for grant from the Plans.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Company granted stock options for the purchase of 1,210,000 Class A Common Shares with an aggregate grant date fair value of $92,812. During the year ended October 31, 2009, the Company granted 3,650,000 stock options with an aggregate grant date fair value of $375,972. We have a practice of issuing new stock to satisfy the exercises of stock options. Stock options were granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of the stock at the date of grant. Options granted were exercisable pursuant to vesting schedules from immediate to four years.

During the year ended October 31, 2010, the Company awarded 1,213,828 restricted shares of Class A Common Shares to its Board of Directors. The restricted stock awards vest over six months and have an aggregate grant date fair value of $60,968. We have a practice of issuing new stock to satisfy restricted stock grants. At December 31, 2010, there were approximately $35,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested restricted stock awards, and approximately $40,000 of unrecognized compensation costs related to unvested stock options. These costs are expected to be recognized on a weighted-average basis over periods of less than one year for both restricted stock awards for unvested stock options.

During February 2010, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with its largest creditor, Gemini, and with three other investors including an entity controlled by Mr. Malcolm H. Philips, Jr., our former CEO. Included in the agreement is the restructuring of the June 25, 2008 Senior Convertible Note held by Gemini where $1,151,100 of outstanding principal and accrued interest was capitalized into a new note bearing interest at 10% and convertible into Class A common stock at the rate of $0.05 per share for the first $800,000 of principal converted, and $0.08 per share for converted balances in excess of $800,000. We accounted for this as a debt extinguishment and recognized a $41,699 loss. The note matures on February 1, 2012, but has accelerated payment provisions and a contingent security interest, if certain financial milestones are not met.  Additionally because of the restructuring, the common Stock Purchase Warrant issued on June 25, 2008 to Gemini was adjusted. Included in the restructuring was a $450,000 cash infusion consisting of $200,000 from an entity controlled by Mr. Philips and $250,000 from two other investors, for which the Company issued notes similar to that issued to Gemini.  Additionally, as a part of this restructuring, $247,115 principal and accrued interest of existing Convertible Notes Payables held by an entity controlled by Mr. Philips were consolidated and exchanged for a new convertible note similar to that issued to Gemini.
 
The Company has determined the convertible note held by Gemini contains a beneficial conversion feature that qualifies for treatment under FASB ASC Topic 470-20. The estimated fair value of the detachable warrants of $255,452 has been determined using Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: stock price volatility of 75%, risk free interest rate of 2.35%; dividend yield of 0% and 5 year term. The face amount of the convertible note of $1,151,100 was proportionately allocated to the note and the warrants in the amount of $942,042 and $209,058, respectively. The convertible note proportionate allocated value of $942,042 was then further allocated between the note and the beneficial conversion feature. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature was determined to be $689,059 and the remaining value of $252,983 was allocated to the convertible note. The combined total value of the warrant and beneficial conversion feature of $898,117 has been accounted for as a debt discount that is being amortized and treated as interest expense over the term of the convertible debenture under the effective interest method.

Additionally, the company determined the convertible note held by an entity controlled by Mr. Philips contains a beneficial conversion features that qualifies for treatment under FASB ASC Topic 470-20. The convertible note value of $247,115 was allocated between the note and the beneficial conversion feature. The fair value of the beneficial conversion feature was determined to be $105,906 and the remaining value of $141,208 was allocated to the convertible note. The value of the beneficial conversion feature of $105,906 has been accounted for as a debt discount that is being amortized and treated as interest expense over the term of the convertible debenture under the effective interest method.
 
During March 2010, the Company, as a part of the February restructuring, convertible notes payables of $200,695, $15,462 and $10,000 in principal and accrued interest held by three investors, two directors and an entity controlled by Mr. Philips, respectively, were converted into new notes similar to that issued to Gemini. Also during March 2010, $832,126 of accounts payable balances were converted into new notes similar to that issued to Gemini.
 
In August and September 2010, employees and former employees who are owed approximately $470,000 of deferred compensation, out of a total of $589,000, agreed to have their balances rolled into convertible notes payables similar to that issued to Gemini. This total includes $267,000 owed to Malcolm H. Philips, Jr. and $28,000 owed to our CFO.  The notes will bear interest at 10% and will be convertible into Class A common stock at the rate of $0.08 per share. The notes mature on February 1, 2012, but have accelerated payment provisions and a contingent security interest, if certain financial milestones are not met.
 
In August 2009, four former employees and one former contractor (“Claimants”) filed demands for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association related to deferred wages of approximately $89,000 and to the ownership of certain equipment.  A decision was issued by the Arbitrator which the Company received on June 11, 2010. The decision awarded the Claimants three times their deferred wages, plus attorney fees, totaling approximately $270,000. In September 2010, the Company settled with the Claimants where approximately $50,000 of the judgment was converted into two-year non-interest bearing notes, with monthly payouts, and where approximately $190,000 of the judgment was converted into 10% convertible notes due February 2012 similar to the Gemini note from the February Financing.
 
During fiscal 2009, we issued convertible notes payable, which are summarized as follows:

 
·
During the three months ended January 31, 2009, the Company received $87,700 in proceeds under a number of 10.0%, 12 month convertible notes payable with an entity controlled by Mr. Philips. These notes are convertible at any time on terms given to Gemini Master Fund or the best terms given to an investor during the twelve months following the loan date, including warrants. However, the note holder shall receive the lowest price that does not cause a decrease in the conversion price or exercise price of the Gemini Convertible Note or Common Stock Purchase Warrant.

 
·
During the three months ended January 31, 2009, the Company received $25,100 in proceeds under a 12.0%, 12 month convertible note payable with an existing investor. These notes are convertible and into stock and warrants with terms similar to those above.

11. Stockholders’ Equity

Subsequent to October 31, 2010, in November 2010, Gemini converted a portion of its note payable and accrued interest in the amount of $42,860 into 857,205 Class A common shares, or approximately $0.05 per share. Also after October 31, 2010, as a part of the Company’s Board of Director 2010 Compensation Plan, the Company granted 223,098 restricted Class A common shares to its director James G. Stevenson and 125,000 restricted Class A common shares each to its directors Robert H. Foglesong, Frank E. Wren and Brian M. Jenkins as compensation for services as members of the Company’s Board of Directors. Additionally, the Company granted 50,000 restricted Class A common shares to a contractor for services provided. Because he did not complete his term as a Director of the Company, Mr. Thomas Payne returned the 260,600 shares previously granted.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Leases

The Company leases approximately 3,000 square feet of office and laboratory space in Tucson, Arizona on a month-to-month basis. Monthly rent as of October 31, 2010 is approximately $2,600. Total rent expense was approximately $32,000 and $49,000 for the years ended October 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Litigation

We may from time to time be involved in legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business. In June 2008, a lawsuit was filed by Hutchinson & Steffen in a Nevada District Court, Clark County, against the Company, alleging, among other things, breach of contract. On July 2, 2008, Hutchinson & Steffen and the Company entered into a settlement agreement, staying the legal proceedings pending completion of the terms of the settlement agreement. As of the date of this report, we have not received notice of any other legal proceedings regarding Hutchinson & Steffen.

On July 20, 2009, a former employee filed a complaint with the Attorney General of Arizona that CDEX discriminated against that employee because he did not attend a bible study held by some employees. As no amount of potential loss is both probable and estimable, no accrual has been made in the financial statements as of October 31, 2009 and October 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, this claim is without merit and the Company will be successful in its defense of this complaint. In May 2010, the Company received a notice from the office of the Attorney General of Arizona that the case has been dismissed.

In August 2009, four former employees and one former contractor (“Claimants”) filed demands for arbitration with the American Arbitration Association related to deferred wages of approximately $89,000 and to the ownership of certain equipment. Management has accrued a provision for possible settlement of this dispute in the financial statements as of October 31, 2010 and October 31, 2009. A decision was issued by the Arbitrator which the Company received on June 11, 2010. The decision awarded the Claimants three times their deferred wages, plus attorney fees, totaling approximately $270,000. In September 2010, the Company settled with the Claimants where approximately $50,000 of the judgment was converted into two-year non-interest bearing notes, with monthly payouts, and where approximately $190,000 of the judgment was converted into 10% convertible notes due February 2012 similar to the Gemini note from the February Financing. Additionally, the Claimants’ attorney costs and fees were paid and the disputed equipment was returned.

Due to the lack of liquidity, the Company is in arrears on a substantial number of its financial obligations. To date, most creditors have been willing to renegotiate the obligations as they become due or forestall any recourse they may have to collect their debts. However, should any of these creditors pursue recourse, the Company may not be able to continue as a going concern.

14. Going Concern

The Company has incurred losses since its inception of approximately $31.4 million and has had limited product sales from its inception through fiscal 2010. The Company plans to raise cash to fund its operations and pay its outstanding obligations from credit facilities or the sale of its securities in the future. Nonetheless, there can be no guarantee that the Company will be able to raise cash or maintain its current workforce through any of these plans.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company's ability to continue as a going concern and meet its obligations as they come due is dependent upon its ability to raise sufficient cash as discussed above. The Company's continued operations, as well as the implementation of our business plan, will depend upon its ability to raise additional funds through bank borrowings, equity or debt financing. The Company continues to seek prospective investors who may provide some of this funding. The Company also anticipates it will need to maintain its current workforce to achieve commercially viable sales levels. There can be no guarantee that these needs will be met or that sufficient cash will be raised to permit operations to continue. Should the Company be unable to raise sufficient cash to continue operations at a level necessary to achieve commercially viable sales levels, the liquidation value of the Company's assets may be substantially less than the balances reflected in the financial statements and the Company may be unable to pay its creditors. There is no assurance that the Company will succeed in these fund-raising efforts. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
