1.Nature of Business

 

CardioGenics Inc. (“CardioGenics”) was incorporated on November 20, 1997 in the Province of Ontario, Canada, and carries on the business of development and commercialization of diagnostic test products to the In Vitro Diagnostics testing market. CardioGenics has several test products that are in various stages of development.

 

CardioGenics’ business is that of a development-stage company, with a limited history of operations and whose revenues, to date, have been primarily comprised of grant revenue and Scientific Research Tax Credits from government agencies. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining regulatory approval for the marketing of any of the existing or future products that the Company will succeed in developing.

 

On October 27, 2009, the name of the Company was changed from JAG Media Holdings, Inc. to CardioGenics Holdings Inc.

 

2.Basis of Presentation

 

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the condensed interim consolidated financial position of CardioGenics Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) as of April 30, 2012, their results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, and the period from November 20, 1997 (date of inception) to April 30, 2012, changes in equity for the six months ended April 30, 2012 and cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, and the period from November 20, 1997 (date of inception) to April 30, 2012. CardioGenics Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to together herein as the “Company”. Pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these consolidated financial statements unless significant changes have taken place since the end of the most recent fiscal year. Accordingly, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes to consolidated financial statements and the other information in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of October 31, 2011 and 2010 (the “Audited Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s Form 10-K/A that was previously filed with the SEC on April 13, 2012 and from which the October 31, 2011 consolidated balance sheet was derived.

 

The results of the Company’s operations for the six months ended April 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending October 31, 2012.

 

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

 

7
 

 

The Company has incurred operating losses and has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception. The Company has an accumulated deficit at April 30, 2012 of approximately $41.4 million. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has funded its activities to date almost exclusively from debt and equity financings. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

The Company will continue to require substantial funds to continue research and development, including preclinical studies and clinical trials of its products, and to commence sales and marketing efforts, if the FDA and other regulatory approvals are obtained. In order to meet its operating cash flow requirements Management’s plans include financing activities such as private placements of its common stock and issuances of convertible debt instruments. Management is also actively pursuing industry collaboration activities including product licensing and specific project financing.

 

While the Company believes it will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, meet revenue projections and manage costs, there are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved and that it will succeed in its future operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.

 

3.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

(a)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements to enable users of financial statements to understand the effect of those arrangements on its financial position, and to allow investors to better compare financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP with financial statements prepared under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The new standards are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those annual periods. Retrospective application is required. The Company will implement the provisions of ASU 2011-11 beginning in fiscal 2014.

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. Under this ASU, an entity will have the option to present the components of net income and comprehensive income in either one or two consecutive financial statements. The ASU eliminates the option in U.S. GAAP to present other comprehensive income in the statement of changes in equity. An entity should apply the ASU retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to implement the provisions of ASU 2011-05 by presenting a separate statement of other comprehensive income following the statement of operations beginning in fiscal 2013.

 

4.Income Taxes

 

Based on the Company’s evaluation, management has concluded that there are no significant tax positions requiring recognition in the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has incurred losses in Canada since inception, which have generated net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes. The net operating loss carryforwards arising from Canadian sources as of April 30, 2012, approximated $6,301,000 (2011 - $8,983,000) which will expire from 2013 through 2032. All fiscal years except 2011 have been assessed as originally filed in Canadian jurisdictions.

 

As of April 30, 2012, the Company had net operating loss carryforwards from US sources of approximately $40,652,000 available to reduce future Federal taxable income which will expire from 2019 through 2032. Returns for the years 2008 through 2011 are yet to be filed.

 

For the six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company’s effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate principally due to the net operating losses for which no benefit was recorded.

5.Due to Shareholders

 

In February 2012 the Company received $262,500 for the subscription of 1,050,000 of the Company’s common stock. To date, the common stock has not been issued to the subscribers as the Company is not authorized to issue any additional common stock.

 

6.Stock Based Compensation

 

Stock-based employee compensation related to stock options for the six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 amounted to $-0-.

 

The following is a summary of the common stock options granted, forfeited or expired and exercised under the Plan:

8.Issuance of Common Stock

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2012, the Company issued no common shares, except for 211,977 common shares which were exchanged for 211,977 exchangeable shares.

 

9.Net Loss per Share

 

The following table sets forth the computation of weighted-average shares outstanding for calculating basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS):

 

   Three Months Ended 
April 30,
   Six Months Ended
April 30,
 
   2012   2011   2012   2011 
                 
Weighted-average shares - basic   55,626,166    54,036,505    55,626,166    53,746,365 
Effect of dilutive securities                
Weighted-average shares - diluted   55,626,166    54,036,505    55,626,166    53,746,365 

 

10
 

 

Basic EPS and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 have been computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for each respective period by the weighted average shares outstanding during that period. All outstanding options, warrants and shares to be issued upon the exercise of the outstanding options and warrants representing 9,834,969 and 4,131,974 incremental shares respectively have been excluded from the six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 computation of diluted EPS as they are antidilutive given the net losses generated.

 

10.Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

 

Lawsuits

On April 22, 2009, the Company was served with a statement of claim from a former employee claiming compensation for wrongful dismissal and ancillary causes of action including payment of monies in realization of his investment in the Company, with an aggregate claim of $514,000. The Company considers all the claims to be without any merit, has already delivered a statement of defense and intends to vigorously defend the action. If the matter eventually proceeds to trial, the Company does not expect to be found liable on any ground or for any cause of action.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis

 

You should read this Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) in combination with the accompanying unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements and related notes as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) included within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed on April 13, 2012.

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP for interim financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

The preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to accounts receivable, equipment, stock-based compensation, income taxes and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

The accounting policies and estimates used as of October 31, 2011, as outlined in our previously filed Form 10-K/A, have been applied consistently for the six months ended April 30, 2012.

 

Related Party Transactions

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2012, the Company received $262,500 for the subscription of 1,050,000 of the Company’s common stock. To date, the common stock has not been issued to the subscribers as the Company is not authorized to issue any additional common stock.

 

Off-Balance Sheet arrangements

 

We are not party to any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Revenues

 

During the six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 we generated revenues of 2012 - $1,136 and 2011 – NIL respectively from sales of paramagnetic beads. We anticipate additional revenues from said sales during the balance of the year but cannot at this time estimate the quantum of sales.

 

Operating expenses

 

Operating expenses include the costs to a) develop and patent a method for controlling the delivery of compounds to a chemical reaction; b) develop the QL Care Analyzer, a small, automated, robust and proprietary point of care testing device; and, c) custom paramagnetic beads through our proprietary method which improves their light collection. In addition, the Company is in the process of adapting test products for the Point Of Care (“POC”) disposable, single-use cartridge-format. Detailed manufacturing specifications and costing have been created and custom manufacturers have been sourced.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation to officers, occupancy costs, professional fees, listing costs and other office expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable primarily to a decrease in consulting fees and a charge of 2012 – Nil and 2011 - $163,750 due to re-pricing of options.

 

Research and product development, net of investment tax credits

 

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and wages paid to officers and employees engaged in those activities and supplies consumed therefor. The decrease in research and development expenses is attributable primarily to the decrease in staff engaged in R&D.

Revenues

 

During the three months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 we generated no revenues.

 

Operating expenses

 

Operating expenses include the costs to a) develop and patent a method for controlling the delivery of compounds to a chemical reaction; b) develop the QL Care Analyzer, a small, automated, robust and proprietary point of care testing device; and, c) custom paramagnetic beads through our proprietary method which improves their light collection. In addition, the Company is in the process of adapting test products for the POC disposable, single-use cartridge-format. Detailed manufacturing specifications and costing have been created and custom manufacturers have been sourced.

 

General and administrative expenses

 

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of compensation to officers, occupancy costs, professional fees, listing costs and other office expenses. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is attributable primarily to a decrease in consulting fees and a charge of 2012 – Nil and 2011 - $163,750 due to re-pricing of options.

 

Research and product development, net of investment tax credits

 

Research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries and wages paid to officers and employees engaged in those activities and supplies consumed therefor. The decrease in research and development expenses is attributable primarily to the decrease in staff engaged in R&D.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

We have not generated significant revenues since inception. We incurred a net loss of approximately $711,000 and a cash flow deficiency from operating activities of $654,160 for the six months ended April 30, 2012. We have not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover our operating costs and allow us to continue as a going concern.  We have funded our activities to date almost exclusively from debt and equity financings.  These matters raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

 

We will continue to require substantial funds to continue research and development, including preclinical studies and clinical trials of our products, to fund the ongoing operations and to commence sales and marketing efforts.  Our plans include financing activities such as private placements of our common stock and issuances of convertible debt instruments.  We are also actively pursuing industry collaboration including product licensing and specific project financing.

 

We believe we will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund our operations, meet revenue projections and manage costs; however, there are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved and that we will succeed in obtaining the funding to support our future operations.

 

Seasonality

 

We do not believe that our business is subject to seasonal trends or inflation. On an ongoing basis, we will attempt to minimize any effect of inflation on our operating results by controlling operating costs.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

The FASB had issued certain accounting pronouncements as of April 30, 2012 that will become effective in subsequent periods; however, we do not believe that any of those pronouncements would have significantly affected our financial accounting measurements or disclosures had they been in effect during the six months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011 or that they will have a significant effect at the time they become effective.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk

 

N/A.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures:

 

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in the Exchange Act) to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. The design and operation of a control system must also reflect that there are resource constraints and management is necessarily required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls.

 

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting for the quarter ended April 30, 2012 based on the criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on such assessment, our management concluded that during the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting were not effective. Management has identified the following material weaknesses in our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting:

 

lack of documented policies and procedures;

 

there is no effective separation of duties, which includes monitoring controls, between the members of management; and,

 

lack of resources to account for complex and unusual transactions.

 

Management is currently evaluating what steps can be taken in order to address these material weaknesses.

 

(b)Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting:

 

During the quarter ended April 30, 2012, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

On April 22, 2009, CardioGenics was served with a statement of claim in the Province of Ontario, Canada, from a prior contractor claiming compensation for wrongful dismissal and ancillary causes of action including payment of monies in realization of his investment in CardioGenics, with an aggregate claim of $514,000.  The Company considers all the claims to be without any merit, has already delivered a statement of defence and intends to vigorously defend the action.  If the matter eventually proceeds to trial, the Company does not expect to be found liable on any ground or for any cause of action.

 

On January 14, 2010, Flow Capital Advisors Inc. (“Flow Capital”) filed a lawsuit against JAG Media Holdings Inc. in the Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit In and For Broward County Florida (Case No. 10001713) (the “Flow Capital State Action”).  Pursuant to this lawsuit, Flow Capital alleges that JAG Media Holdings breached a Non-Circumvention Agreement it had entered into with Flow Capital, dated January 1, 2004. 

 

On January 15, 2010 Flow Capital filed a lawsuit against CardioGenics Inc., and another defendant in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, Fort Lauderdale Division (Case No. 10-CV-60066-Martinez-Brown) (the “Flow Capital Federal Action”). This lawsuit alleges that CardioGenics (i) breached a Finder’s Fee Agreement in connection with the CardioGenics Acquisition; and (ii) breached a non-circumvention agreement. Flow Capital is claiming that it is entitled to the finder’s fee equal to eight percent (8%) of the JAG Media Holdings shares received by CardioGenics, or the equivalent monetary value of the stock. Plaintiff subsequently amended its complaint to add related tort claims.

 

Pursuant to applicable federal court rules, the parties to the Flow Capital Federal Action participated in a court mandated mediation session on August 17, 2011 where the parties attempted to settle their disputes. At the mediation, the parties agreed to a settlement of all claims as described below, subject to the approval of the Board of Directors of CardioGenics Holdings Inc., which approval was subsequently obtained. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, Flow Capital agreed to dismiss, with prejudice, the Flow Capital Federal Action and the Flow Capital State Action and CardioGenics agreed to issue Flow Capital 1,000,000 shares of restricted CardioGenics Holdings common stock and warrants to purchase restricted CardioGenics Holdings common stock as follows:

 

Type of Warrant   Number of Shares   Exercise Price   Vesting Date   Term  
Cash Exercise Only   250,000 0.30/share   immediate   5 years  
Cash Exercise Only   250,000   0.50/share   immediate   5 years  
Cash Exercise Only   500,000   $ 0.75/share   immediate   5 years  
Cash Exercise Only   500,000   1.00/share   immediate   5 years  
Cash or Cashless Exercise   500,000   0.75/share   August 1, 2012   5 years  

 

The restricted shares of common stock and the warrants are subject to the rights and restrictions of Rule 144 and do not have any registration rights. As part of the settlement, the parties also exchanged mutual general releases and CardioGenics Holdings agreed to pay Flow Capital, in three monthly installments, $100,000 for Flow Capital’s legal fees.

 

On August 23, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the settlement. As a result, the Company recorded a charge to the Condensed Statement of Operations at July 31, 2011 of $1,753,800 for Cost of Settlement of Lawsuit, which amount is included in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses at July 31, 2011.

 

On October 26, 2010 Karver International Inc. filed a lawsuit in the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Miami-Dade County, Florida against CardioGenics Holdings Inc. and several other defendants including affiliates, officers and directors of CardioGenics Holdings, Inc. The Plaintiff generally alleges that the named defendants made certain alleged misrepresentations in connection with the purchase of shares of CardioGenics Holdings Inc. On December 20, 2010 CardioGenics Holdings Inc. and other defendants filed a motion to dismiss on the basis that the court lacks personal jurisdiction over most defendants, that an enforceable forum selection clause requires that the action be litigated in Ontario, Canada that the doctrine of forum non conveniens requires dismissal in favor of the Ontario forum, and that the complaint suffers from numerous other technical deficiencies warranting dismissal (e.g., failure to attach documents to the Complaint, failure to plead fraud with particularity, etc.). In addition, prior to the motion being heard, Karver’s attorney filed a motion to withdraw as counsel for Karver. The court granted Karver’s attorney’s motion to withdraw and Karver had until approximately April 26, 2011 to engage new counsel. On April 20, 2011, having not engaged new counsel as of that date, Karver filed with the court a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal Without Prejudice, which dismisses the lawsuit against the named defendants without prejudice to Karver’s rights to recommence the action.
