The Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Stataements are an integral part of these statements.

 

 

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation:

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (“interim statements”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements are not included herein. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results for the nine months ended April 30, 2014 may not be indicative of the results for the entire year.

 

Interim statements are subject to possible adjustments in connection with the annual audit of the Company’s accounts for fiscal year 2014. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature.

 

The Company is a development stage company, which has a limited history of operations and limited revenue to date. This revenue has been comprised mainly of the sale of our confectionary products, although the Company has recognized $600,000 relating to upfront license fees for the signing of license and distribution agreements for Generex Oral-lyn™. Additionally, the Company has several product candidates that are in various research or early stages of pre-clinical and clinical development. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining regulatory clearance for the sale of existing or any future products or that any of the Company’s products will be commercially viable.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying interim statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $372 million and a working capital deficiency of approximately $4.1 million at April 30, 2014. The Company has funded its activities to date almost exclusively from debt and equity financings, as well as the recent sales of non-essential real estate assets in fiscal 2012, fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2014 (see Note 11).

 

The Company will continue to require substantial funds to continue research and development, including pre-clinical studies and clinical trials of its product candidates, and to commence sales and marketing efforts, if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other regulatory approvals are obtained.  Management’s plans in order to meet its operating cash flow requirements include financing activities such as private placements of its common stock, preferred stock offerings, issuances of debt and convertible debt instruments.  Management will be limited in the financing activities that the Company undertakes in the near future as the securities purchase agreements that the Company entered into on June 17, 2013, January 14, 2014 and March 27, 2014 with certain investors prohibit the Company from (i) issuing additional equity securities until 60 days after the effective date of a registration statement covering the resale of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and conversion of the preferred stock sold in those transactions; and (ii) issuing additional debt or equity securities with variable conversion or exercise prices until June 17, 2014, January 14, 2015 and March 27, 2015, respectively. Management is also actively pursuing financial and strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures, industry collaboration activities and strategic partners.  Management has sold its non-essential real estate assets which were classified as Assets Held for Investment to augment its cash position.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved and that it will succeed in its future operations. The interim 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. The Company’s inability to obtain required funding in the near future or its inability to obtain funding on favorable terms will have a material adverse effect on its operations and strategic development plan for future growth. If the Company cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement its strategic development plan, its liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected, and the Company may have to cease operations.

 

 

Note 2 – Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance regarding the presentation of Comprehensive Income within financial statements. The guidance was effective for the Company’s annual fiscal period ended July 31, 2013. The adoption of this new accounting guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3 – Stock-Based Compensation:

 

As of April 30, 2014, the Company had two stockholder-approved stock incentive plans under which shares and options exercisable for shares of common stock have been or may be granted to employees, directors, consultants and advisors. A total of 12,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2001 Stock Option Plan (the 2001 Plan) and 60,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2006 Stock Plan as amended (the 2006 Plan). At April 30, 2014, there were 1,353,916 and 6,300,576 shares of common stock reserved for future awards under the 2001 Plan and 2006 Plan, respectively. The Company issues new shares of common stock from the shares reserved under the respective Plans upon conversion or exercise of options and issuance of restricted shares.

 

The 2001 and 2006 Plans (the Plans) are administered by the Board of Directors (the Board). The Board is authorized to select from among eligible employees, directors, advisors and consultants those individuals to whom options are to be granted and to determine the number of shares to be subject to, and the terms and conditions of the options. The Board is also authorized to prescribe, amend and rescind terms relating to options granted under the Plans. Generally, the interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plans or any options granted hereunder is within the discretion of the Board.

 

The Plans provide that options may or may not be Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Only employees of the Company are eligible to receive ISOs, while employees and non-employee directors, advisors and consultants are eligible to receive options which are not ISOs, i.e. “Non-Qualified Options.” The options granted by the Board in connection with its adoption of the Plans were Non-Qualified Options. In addition, the 2006 Plan also provides for restricted stock grants.

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or the value of the services provided, whichever is more readily determinable. The Black-Scholes option pricing model takes into account, as of the grant date, the exercise price and expected life of the option, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option.

 

In the case of restricted stock grants under the 2006 Plan, fair market value of the shares is established as the market price on the date of the stock grant or the value of the services provided, whichever is more readily determinable.

 

The following is a summary of the common stock options granted, forfeited or expired and exercised under the Plans for the nine months ended April 30, 2014:

Note 6 – Pending Litigation:

 

In February 2001, a former business associate of the former Vice President of Research and Development (“VP”) of the Company and an entity known as Centrum Technologies Inc. (“CTI”) commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the Company and the VP seeking, among other things, damages for alleged breaches of contract and tortious acts related to a business relationship between this former associate and the VP that ceased in July 1996. The plaintiffs’ statement of claim also seeks to enjoin the use, if any, by the Company of three patents allegedly owned by CTI. The three patents are entitled Liquid Formulations for Proteinic Pharmaceuticals, Vaccine Delivery System for Immunization, Using Biodegradable Polymer Microspheres, and Controlled Releases of Drugs or Hormones in Biodegradable Polymer Microspheres. It is the Company’s position that the buccal drug delivery technologies which are the subject matter of the Company’s research, development, and commercialization efforts, including Generex Oral-lyn™ and the RapidMist™ Diabetes Management System, do not make use of, are not derivative of, do not infringe upon, and are entirely different from the intellectual property identified in the plaintiffs’ statement of claim. On July 20, 2001, the Company filed a preliminary motion to dismiss the action of CTI as a nonexistent entity or, alternatively, to stay such action on the grounds of want of authority of such entity to commence the action. The plaintiffs brought a cross motion to amend the statement of claim to substitute Centrum Biotechnologies, Inc. (“CBI”) for CTI. CBI is a corporation of which 50 percent of the shares are owned by the former business associate and the remaining 50 percent are owned by the Company. Consequently, the shareholders of CBI are in a deadlock. The court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the action of CTI and denied the plaintiffs’ cross motion without prejudice to the former business associate to seek leave to bring a derivative action in the name of or on behalf of CBI. The former business associate subsequently filed an application with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for an order granting him leave to file an action in the name of and on behalf of CBI against the VP and the Company. The Company opposed the application. In September 2003, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted the request and issued an order giving the former business associate leave to file an action in the name of and on behalf of CBI against the VP and the Company. A statement of claim was served in July 2004. The Company is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.

 

On May 20, 2011, Ms. Perri filed a statement of claim (subsequently amended) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, naming as defendants the Company and certain directors of the Company, Mr. Barratt, Ms. Masterson, Mr. McGee, and Mr. Fletcher. In this action, Ms. Perri has alleged that defendants engaged in discrimination, harassment, bad faith and infliction of mental distress in connection with the termination of her employment with

 

the Company. Ms. Perri is seeking damages in this action in excess of $7,000,000 for, among other things, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of the Ontario Human Rights Code and aggravated and punitive damages. On September 20, 2011, the defendants filed a statement of defense and counterclaim, also naming Time Release Corp., Khazak Group Consulting Corp., and David Khazak, C.A. as defendants by counterclaim, and seeking damages of approximately $2.3 million in funds that the defendants allege Ms. Perri wrongly caused the Company to pay to third parties in varying amounts over several years and an accounting of certain third-party payments, plus interests and costs. The factual basis for the counterclaim involves payments made by the Company to third parties believed to be related to Ms. Perri. The Company intends to defend this action and pursue its counterclaim vigorously and is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.

 

On June 1, 2011, Golden Bull Estates Ltd. filed a claim (subsequently amended) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, naming the Company, 1097346 Ontario, Inc. and Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as defendants. The plaintiff, Golden Bull Estates, is controlled by Ms. Perri. The plaintiff alleges damages in the amount of $550,000 for breach of contract, $50,000 for punitive damages, plus interest and costs. The plaintiff’s claims relate to an alleged contract between the plaintiff and the Company for property management services for certain Ontario properties owned by the Company. The Company terminated the plaintiff’s property management services in April 2011. Following the close of pleadings, the Company served a motion for summary judgment. The plaintiff responded by amending its statement of claim to include a claim to the Company’s interest in certain of its real estate holdings. The plaintiff moved for leave to issue and register a Certificate of Pending Litigation in respect of this real estate. The motion was not successful in respect of any current real estate holdings of the Company. The Company is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.

 

In August 2011, the estate of Antonio Perri, the late father of Ms. Perri, commenced an action against Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the law firm of Brans, Lehun, Baldwin LLP and William Lehun in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice claiming that the estate is entitled to the proceeds of sale (approximately $1,730,000) received by the Company on its sale of two properties to Golden Bull Estates Ltd., a company controlled by Ms. Perri. The suit alleges that no consideration was received when the Company purchased the two properties from Antonio Perri in 1998. The Company responded to this statement of claim. On May 6, 2014, the Company received a court order which dismissed this action for delay as the plaintiff has not brought this action to conclusion or set it down for trial within the time prescribed by the laws of Ontario.

 

In December 2011, a vendor of the Company commenced an action against the Company and its subsidiary, Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice claiming damages for unpaid invoices including interest in the amount of $429,000, in addition to costs and further interest.  The Company responded to this statement of claim and also asserted a counterclaim in the proceeding for $200,000 arising from the vendor’s breach of contract and detinue, together with interest and costs. On November 16, 2012, the parties agreed to settle this action and the Company has agreed to pay the plaintiff $125,000, following the spinout of its subsidiary Antigen, from the proceeds of any public or private financing related to Antigen subsequent to such spinout.  Each party agreed to execute mutual releases to the claim and counterclaim to be held in trust by each party’s counsel until payment of the settlement amount.  Following payment to the plaintiff, the parties agree that a Consent Dismissal Order without costs will be filed with the court.  If the Company fails to make the payment following completion of any post-spinout financing related to Antigen or any other subsidiaries, the Plaintiffs may take out a judgment in the amount of the claim plus interest of 3% per annum and costs fixed at $25,000.

 

The Company is involved in certain other legal proceedings in addition to those specifically described herein. Subject to the uncertainty inherent in all litigation, the Company does not believe at the present time that the resolution of any of these legal proceedings is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

With respect to all litigation, as additional information concerning the estimates used by the Company becomes known, the Company reassesses its position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures.

 

 

Note 7 – Commitments:

 

On December 7, 2009, the Company entered into a long-term agreement with sanofi-aventis Deutschland GmbH (“sanofi”). Under this agreement, sanofi will manufacture and supply recombinant human insulin to the Company in the territories specified in the agreement. Through this agreement, the Company will procure recombinant human insulin crystals for use in the production of Generex Oral-lyn™. The terms of the supply agreement required the Company to make certain minimum purchases of insulin from sanofi through the period ended December 31, 2011. To date, the Company has not met the minimum purchase commitments under this agreement. After December 31, 2011, sanofi may terminate the agreement due to the Company’s failure to meet such purchase commitments. Upon termination, the Company would be obligated to pay sanofi for all materials and components that it has acquired or ordered to manufacture insulin based on the Company’s forecasts or minimum purchase commitments, all related work-in-progress (at cost) and all finished insulin in inventory. To date, the Company has not provided forecasts to sanofi for the purchase of insulin and sanofi has not terminated the agreement.

 

 

Note 8 – Net Loss Per Share (“EPS”):

 

Basic EPS and Diluted EPS for the three-month period ended April 30, 2014 have been computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average shares outstanding during that period. All outstanding stock options, non-vested restricted stock, warrants and common stock underlying convertible preferred stock, representing 357,628,977 incremental shares at April 30, 2014, have been excluded from the respective computations of Diluted EPS as they are anti-dilutive, due to the losses generated during those periods.

 

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) and Diluted EPS for the three-month period ended April 30, 2013 have been computed by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average shares outstanding and the diluted weighted average shares outstanding during that period, respectively. Per the treasury method of calculating Diluted EPS, 204,230,062 shares representing outstanding stock options and warrants which have an exercise price lower than the average market price for the quarter ended April 30, 2013 are included in the calculation of EPS. In addition, 17,699,999 shares underlying the remaining Series D convertible preferred stock at April 30, 2013 were added to the Diluted EPS calculation. All remaining outstanding stock options and warrants which have out-of-the-money exercise prices, representing 43,927,358 incremental shares in aggregate, have been excluded from the April 30, 2013 computation of Diluted EPS, as they are anti-dilutive.

 

Basic EPS and Diluted EPS for the nine-month periods ended April 30, 2014 and 2013 have been computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average shares outstanding during that period. All outstanding stock options, non-vested restricted stock, warrants and common stock underlying convertible preferred stock, representing 357,628,977 incremental shares at April 30, 2014 and 277,647,594 incremental shares at April 30, 2013, have been excluded from the respective computations of Diluted EPS as they are anti-dilutive, due to the losses generated during those periods.

For instance, if the Company issues shares of its common stock or options exercisable for or securities convertible into common stock at an effective price per share of common stock less than the exercise price then in effect, the exercise price will be reduced to the effective price of the new issuance. Simultaneously with any reduction to the exercise price, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each of these warrants shall be increased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable for the adjusted number of warrants shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the convertible preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective conversion price of $0.03 per share, and will accrue a 9% dividend until June 17, 2016 and, beginning on June 17, 2016 and on each one year anniversary thereafter, such dividend rate will increase by an additional 3%. The dividend is payable quarterly on September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30, beginning on June 30, 2013 and on each conversion date in cash, or at the Company’s option, in shares of common stock. In the event that the convertible preferred stock is converted prior to June 17, 2016, the Company will pay the holder of the converted preferred stock an amount equal to $270 per $1,000 of stated value of the convertible preferred stock, less the amount of all prior quarterly dividends paid on such converted preferred stock before the relevant conversion date. Such “make-whole payment” may be made in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of its common stock. In addition, beginning June 17, 2016, the Company will pay dividends on shares of preferred stock equal to (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) and in the same form as dividends (other than dividends in the form of common stock) actually paid on shares of the common stock when, and if such dividends are paid. The Company will incur a late fee of 18% per annum on unpaid dividends.

 

The conversion price of the convertible preferred stock is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The conversion price will also be adjusted if the Company sells or grants any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then conversion price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by the Company pro rata to the holders of its common stock to the same extent as if such holders had converted all of their shares of convertible preferred stock. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive, upon conversion of their shares, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction.

 

The Company may become obligated to redeem the convertible preferred stock in cash upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, including the failure to provide an effective registration statement covering shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock, material breach of certain contractual obligations to the holders of the convertible preferred stock, the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, the occurrence of certain insolvency events relating to the Company, or the failure of the Company’s common stock to continue to be listed or quoted for trading on one or more specified United States securities exchanges or regulated quotation services. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, each holder of convertible preferred stock will have the option to redeem such holder’s shares of convertible preferred stock for a redemption price payable in shares of common stock or receive an increased dividend rate of 18% on all of such holder’s outstanding convertible preferred stock.

 

In conjunction with the issuance of the Series E convertible preferred stock in June 2013 and January 2014, the Company also issued 40,833,335 and 26,666,668 warrants, respectively to the investors. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the warrants will be exercisable at any time after their respective dates of issuance and on or before the fifth-year anniversary thereafter at an exercise price of $0.03 per share of common stock. The exercise price of the warrants and, in some cases, the number of shares issuable upon exercise, are subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise will also be adjusted if the Company sells or grants any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then exercise price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by the Company pro rata to the holders of its common stock to the same extent as if such holders had exercised all of their warrants. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of their warrants, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction. These warrants have been classified as derivative liabilities and are described further in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities.

 

In addition, until the first anniversary date of the initial securities purchase agreement, each investor may, in its sole determination, elect to purchase, severally and not jointly with the other investors, in one or more purchases, in the ratio of such investor's original subscription amount to the original aggregate subscription amount of all investors, additional units consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants at a purchase price of $1,000 per unit with an aggregate subscription amount thereof of up to $1,225,000, which units will have terms identical to the units of convertible preferred stock and warrants issued in connection with the June 2013 closing. These additional investment rights of the investors have been classified as derivative liabilities and are described further in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities. On January 15, 2014, certain investors exercised 800 of the 1,225 shares of convertible preferred stock and related warrants available under the additional investment rights. Certain investors will continue to have rights to purchase up to 425 shares of convertible preferred stock and related warrants until June 17, 2014.

 

As of April 30, 2014, 2,000 of the Series E convertible preferred stock had been converted to common stock. There were 66,666,666 shares of common stock issued upon the conversion of the Series E convertible preferred stock and 18,585,193 shares of common stock issued as “make-whole payments” on such conversions.

 

Accounting for proceeds from the Series E convertible preferred stock financing

 

The net cash proceeds from the initial Series E convertible preferred stock financing in June 2013 were $1,165,000. The proceeds from the financing were allocated first to the warrants that were issued in the financing, second to the additional investment rights associated with the financing and third to the make whole payments. As the assigned fair values were greater than the net cash proceeds from the transaction, the excess was treated as a “deemed dividend” for accounting purposes and was reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended July 31, 2013 under the caption “Preferred Stock Dividend”. The calculation methodologies for the fair values of the derivative warrant liability and the derivative additional investment rights liability are described in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities below. The fair values assigned to each component and the calculation of the amount of the deemed dividend are as follows:

 

Accounting allocation of initial proceeds
Net proceeds		$	1,165,000
Derivative warrant liability fair value			(1,189,744	)
Derivative additional investment rights fair value			(1,264,683	)
Make whole payments liability			(330,750	)
Deemed dividend		$	(1,620,177	)

 

The initial “make-whole payments” of $330,750 on the Series E convertible preferred stock were accrued as of the date of the financing and the remaining balance of $6,750 (after conversions) is included in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses (see Note 5) at April 30, 2014.

 

The net cash proceeds from the Series E convertible preferred stock financing in January 2014 were $750,000. The proceeds from the financing were allocated first to the warrants that were issued in the financing and second to the make whole payments. As the assigned fair values were greater than the net cash proceeds from the transaction, the excess was treated as a “deemed dividend” for accounting purposes and was reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended January 31, 2014 under the caption “Preferred Stock Dividend”. The calculation methodologies for the fair values of the derivative warrant liability and the derivative additional investment rights liability are described in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities below. The fair values assigned to each component and the calculation of the amount of the deemed dividend are as follows:

 

Accounting allocation of initial proceeds
Net proceeds		$	750,000
Derivative warrant liability fair value			(942,279	)
Make whole payments liability			(216,000	)
Deemed dividend		$	(408,279	)

 

The initial “make-whole payments” of $216,000 on the Series E convertible preferred stock were accrued as of the date of the financing.

 

Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 4,150 shares of Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of one thousand ($1,000) per share. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated March 27, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,075 shares of Series F convertible preferred stock, as well as accompanying warrants to purchase 69,166,667 shares of common stocks. An aggregate of 69,166,667 shares of the Company’s common stock are issuable upon conversion of the Series F convertible preferred stock which was issued at the closing on March 27, 2014.

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the convertible preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective conversion price of $0.03 per share, and will accrue a 9% dividend until March 27, 2017 and, beginning on March 27, 2017 and on each one year anniversary thereafter, such dividend rate will increase by an additional 3%. The dividend is payable quarterly on September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30, beginning on June 30, 2014 and on each conversion date in cash, or at the Company’s option, in shares of common stock. In the event that the convertible preferred stock is converted prior to March 27, 2017, the Company will pay the holder of the converted preferred stock an amount equal to $270 per $1,000 of stated value of the convertible preferred stock, less the amount of all prior quarterly dividends paid on such converted preferred stock before the relevant conversion date. Such “make-whole payment” may be made in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of its common stock. In addition, beginning March 27, 2017, the Company will pay dividends on shares of preferred stock equal to (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) and in the same form as dividends (other than dividends in the form of common stock) actually paid on shares of the common stock when, and if such dividends are paid. The Company will incur a late fee of 18% per annum on unpaid dividends.

 

The conversion price of the convertible preferred stock is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The conversion price will also be adjusted if the Company sells or grants any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then conversion price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by the Company pro rata to the holders of its common stock to the same extent as if such holders had converted all of their shares of convertible preferred stock. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive, upon conversion of their shares, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction.

 

The Company may become obligated to redeem the convertible preferred stock in cash upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, including the failure to provide an effective registration statement covering shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock, material breach of certain contractual obligations to the holders of the convertible preferred stock, the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, the occurrence of certain insolvency events relating to the Company, or the failure of the Company’s common stock to continue to be listed or quoted for trading on one or more specified United States securities exchanges or regulated quotation services. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, each holder of convertible preferred stock will have the option to redeem such holder’s shares of convertible preferred stock for a redemption price payable in shares of common stock or receive an increased dividend rate of 18% on all of such holder’s outstanding convertible preferred stock.

 

In conjunction with the issuance of the Series F convertible preferred stock in June 2014, the Company also issued 69,166,667 warrants to the investors. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the warrants will be exercisable at any time after their respective dates of issuance and on or before the fifth-year anniversary thereafter at an exercise price of $0.03 per share of common stock. The exercise price of the warrants and, in some cases, the number of shares issuable upon exercise, are subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise will also be adjusted if the Company sells or grants any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then exercise price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by the Company pro rata to the holders of its common stock to the same extent as if such holders had exercised all of their warrants. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of their warrants, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction. These warrants have been classified as derivative liabilities and are described further in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities.

 

In addition, until the first anniversary date of the securities purchase agreement, each investor may, in its sole determination, elect to purchase, severally and not jointly with the other investors, in one or more purchases, in the ratio of such investor's original subscription amount to the original aggregate subscription amount of all investors, additional units consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants at a purchase price of $1,000 per unit with an aggregate subscription amount thereof of up to $2,075,000, which units will have terms identical to the units of convertible preferred stock and warrants issued in connection with the March 2014 closing. These additional investment rights of the investors have been classified as derivative liabilities and are described further in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities.

As of April 30, 2014, 230 of the Series F convertible preferred stock had been converted to common stock. There were 7,666,666 shares of common stock issued upon the conversion of the Series F convertible preferred stock and 2,070,000 shares of common stock issued as “make-whole payments” on such conversions.

 

Accounting for proceeds from the Series F convertible preferred stock financing

 

The net cash proceeds from the Series F convertible preferred stock financing in March 2014 were $2,020,000. The proceeds from the financing were allocated first to the warrants that were issued in the financing, second to the additional investment rights associated with the financing and third to the make whole payments. As the assigned fair values were greater than the net cash proceeds from the transaction, the excess was treated as a “deemed dividend” for accounting purposes and was reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended April 30, 2014 under the caption “Preferred Stock Dividend”. The calculation methodologies for the fair values of the derivative warrant liability and the derivative additional investment rights liability are described in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities below. The fair values assigned to each component and the calculation of the amount of the deemed dividend are as follows:

 

Accounting allocation of initial proceeds
Net proceeds		$	2,020,000
Derivative warrant liability fair value			(2,016,064	)
Derivative additional investment rights fair value			(863,735	)
Make whole payments liability			(560,250	)
Deemed dividend		$	(1,420,050	)

 

The initial “make-whole payments” of $560,250 on the Series F convertible preferred stock were accrued as of the date of the financing and the remaining balance of $498,150 (after conversions) is included in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses (see Note 5) at April 30, 2014.

 

 

Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities:

 

Derivative warrant liability

The Company has warrants outstanding with price protection provisions that allow for the reduction in the exercise price of the warrants in the event the Company subsequently issues stock or securities convertible into stock at a price lower than the exercise price of the warrants. Simultaneously with any reduction to the exercise price, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each of these warrants shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable for the adjusted number of warrants shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

Accounting for Derivative Warrant Liability

The Company’s derivative instruments have been measured at fair value at April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013 using the binomial lattice model. The Company recognizes all of its warrants with price protection in its consolidated balance sheets as a liability. The liability is revalued at each reporting period and changes in fair value are recognized currently in the consolidated statements of operations. The initial recognition and subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative warrant liability have no effect on the Company’s consolidated cash flows.

 

The derivative warrants outstanding at April 30, 2014 are all currently exercisable with a weighted-average remaining life of 3.6 years.

 

The revaluation of the warrants at the end of the respective reporting periods resulted in the recognition of a gain of $298,370 within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2014 and a loss of $1,092,504 within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2013, which is included in the consolidated statement of operations under the caption “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities”. The fair value of the warrants at April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013 was $5,699,770 and $5,234,293, respectively, which is reported on the consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Derivative Warrant Liability”. The following summarizes the changes in the value of the derivative warrant liability from August 1, 2012 until April 30, 2014:

	Value	No. of Warrants
Balance at August 1, 2012 – Derivative warrant liability	$   4,081,627	55,148,530
Additional warrants issued in August 2012 financing	624,797	9,375,000
Additional warrants issued in December 2012 financing	762,355	24,999,999
Additional warrants issued in June 2013 financing	1,189,744	40,833,335
Additional warrants from price protection features of existing warrants	7,484,550	236,219,094
Exercise of warrants	(5,629,130)	(145,888,421)
Decrease in fair value of derivative warrant liability	(3,279,650)	n/a
Balance at July 31, 2013 – Derivative warrant liability	$   5,234,293	220,687,537
Exercise of warrants	(2,194,496)	(76,732,020)
Additional warrants issued in January 2014 financing	942,279	26,666,668
Additional warrants issued in March 2014 financing	2,016,064	69,166,667
Decrease in fair value of derivative warrant liability	(298,370)	n/a
Balance at April 30, 2014 – Derivative warrant liability	$  5,699,770	239,788,852

 

Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Warrant Liability

The Company has determined its derivative warrant liability to be a Level 2 fair value measurement and has used the binominal lattice pricing model to calculate the fair value as of April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013. The binomial lattice model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Because the warrants contain the price protection feature, the probability that the exercise price of the warrants would decrease as the stock price decreased was incorporated into the valuation calculations. The key inputs used in the April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013 fair value calculations were as follows:

		April 30, 2014				July 31, 2013
Current exercise price		$	0.03			$	0.03
Time to expiration			3.6 years				3.5 years
Risk-free interest rate			0.91	%			0.49	%
Estimated volatility			82	%			85	%
Dividend			-0-				-0-
Stock price at period end date		$	0.035			$	0.035

 

Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Additional Investment Rights Liability

The Company has determined the derivative additional investment rights liability to be a Level 2 fair value measurement and has used the binominal lattice pricing model to measure the fair value. The fair value of the derivative liability associated with the additional investment rights was determined to be $819,882 and $1,256,160 at April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013, respectively. There were no additional investment rights at April 30, 2013.

 

The key inputs used in the fair value calculation at April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013 were as follows:

 

		April 30, 2014				July 31, 2013
Underlying number of units of convertible preferred stock			2,500				1,225
Underlying number of units of warrants			83,333,334				40,833,335
Current exercise price of warrants		$	0.03			$	0.03
Current conversion price of preferred stock		$	0.03			$	0.03
Time to expiration			0.78 years				0.88 years
Risk-free interest rate			0.10	%			0.11	%
Estimated volatility			52	%			114	%
Dividend			-0-				-0-
Stock price at period end date		$	0.035			$	0.035

 

The partial exercise of the additional investment rights in the quarter ended January 31, 2014, resulted in a transfer from the derivative liability to additional paid in capital of $237,566, which was the estimated fair value of the additional investment rights exercised as of the date of exercise on January 15, 2014. The revaluation of the additional investment rights in the nine-month period ended April 30, 2014, resulted in the recognition of a gain of $1,062,448 within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, which is included in the total under the caption “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities”.

 

Note 11 – Income from Assets Held for Investment, net:

 

In August 2013, the Company sold a property which was held for investment for gross proceeds after real estate commissions of $883,780. This property had a net book value of $694,911, resulting in an accounting gain of $188,869 which is included in income from assets held for investment, net on the interim consolidated statement of operations. The property was secured by a mortgage which was discharged upon the sale, as described in the last paragraph of this note below. After the discharge of the mortgage ($606,806), as well as legal fees, interest, penalties and other costs ($73,628 in aggregate) the sale resulted in net cash proceeds to the Company of $203,346.

 

In March 2013, the Company sold a property which was held for investment for gross proceeds after real estate commissions of $256,835. This property had a net book value of $169,566, resulting in an accounting gain of $87,682 which is included in income from assets held for investment, net on the consolidated statement of operations. The property was secured by a mortgage which was partially discharged upon the sale, as described in the last paragraph of this note below. After the partial discharge of the mortgage ($216,810), as well as legal fees, interest, penalties and other costs ($13,000 in aggregate) the sale resulted in net cash proceeds to the Company of $27,025.

 

In September 2012, the Company sold its head office real estate in Toronto for gross proceeds after real estate commissions of $1,579,189. This property had a net book value of $585,064, resulting in an accounting gain of $994,125 which is included in income from assets held for investment, net on the interim consolidated statement of operations. The net proceeds after commissions and other expenses were used to discharge or partially discharge the first and second mortgages on the property. The first mortgage on the property, with remaining principal of $480,951, was discharged completely upon sale. The remaining net proceeds of $1,028,780 after expenses and the discharge of the first mortgages was used to partially discharge the second mortgage and the Company did not receive any of the net proceeds from this property sale.

 

The remaining income of $4,738 in this category in the nine months ended April 30, 2014, pertains to rental income from properties held for investment, net of carrying and operating expenses, compared to $128,760 in the prior year period.

 

Prior to the August 2013 property sale, the properties held for investment had an interest only first mortgage which closed on November 30, 2012 with a principal amount $606,806, an interest rate of 9.75% compounded semi-annually and a maturity date of November 30, 2013. Upon the sale of the property, the mortgage was discharged.

Executive Summary

 

Overview of Business

 

We are engaged primarily in the research and development of drug delivery systems and technologies. Our primary focus at the present time is our proprietary technology for the administration of formulations of large molecule drugs to the oral (buccal) cavity using a hand-held aerosol applicator. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigen Express, Inc. (“Antigen”), we have expanded our focus to include immunomedicines incorporating proprietary vaccine formulations.

 

We believe that our buccal delivery technology is a platform technology that has application to many large molecule drugs and provides a convenient, non-invasive, accurate and cost-effective way to administer such drugs. We have identified several large molecule drugs as possible candidates for development, including estrogen, heparin, monoclonal antibodies, human growth hormone and fertility hormones, but to date have focused our development efforts primarily on one pharmaceutical product, Generex Oral-lyn™, an insulin formulation administered as a fine spray into the oral cavity using our proprietary hand-held aerosol spray applicator known as RapidMist™.

 

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigen, concentrates on developing proprietary vaccine formulations that work by stimulating the immune system to either attack offending agents (i.e., cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses) or to stop attacking benign elements (i.e., self proteins and allergens). Our immunomedicine products are based on two platform technologies and are in the early stages of development. We continue clinical development of Antigen’s synthetic peptide vaccines designed to stimulate a potent and specific immune response against tumors expressing the HER-2/neu oncogene for patients with HER-2/neu positive breast cancer in a Phase II clinical trial and patients with prostate cancer and against avian influenza in two Phase I clinical trials. We also initiated an additional Phase I clinical trial in patients with either breast or ovarian cancer. The synthetic vaccine technology has certain advantages for pandemic or potentially pandemic viruses, such as the H5N1 avian and H1N1 swine flu. In addition to developing vaccines for pandemic influenza viruses, we have vaccine development efforts underway for seasonal influenza virus, HIV, HPV, melanoma, ovarian cancer, allergy and Type I diabetes mellitus. We have established collaborations with clinical investigators at academic centers to advance these technologies.

 

Financial Condition

 

We are a development stage company with a limited history of operations, and do not expect sufficient revenues to support our operation in the immediately foreseeable future. To date, we have not been profitable and our accumulated net loss available to shareholders was $372,102,178 at April 30, 2014. As of April 30, 2014, our current cash position is not sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months. To continue operations, we will require additional funds to support our working capital requirements and any development activities, or will need to suspend operations. Management is seeking various alternatives to ensure that we can meet some of our operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placement of our common stock, preferred stock offerings and offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments as well as through merger or acquisition opportunities. In addition, management is actively seeking strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures. Management has sold non-essential real estate assets which were classified as Assets Held for Investment to augment its cash position. We cannot provide any assurance that we will obtain the required funding. Our inability to obtain required funding in the near future or our inability to obtain funding on favorable terms will have a material adverse effect on our operations and our strategic development plan for future growth. If we cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement our strategic development plan, our liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.

 

Generex Oral-lyn™

 

Regulatory Approvals and Clinical Trials

 

To date, we have received regulatory approval in Ecuador, India (subject to marketing approval of in-country clinical study), Lebanon and Algeria for the commercial marketing and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™. No dossier related activities took place in any other countries during fiscal 2013 or the first three quarters of fiscal 2014, nor are any expected during the remainder of fiscal 2014.

 

In March 2008, we initiated Phase III clinical trials for this product in the U.S. with the first patient screening for such trials at a clinical study site in Texas in April 2008. Approximately 450 patients have been enrolled to date at approximately 70 clinical sites around the world, including sites in the United States, Canada, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine and Ecuador. The first Oral-lyn™ global Phase III trial initiated in April 2008 had a final patient visit date in August 2011. After appropriate validation, the data from approximately 450 patients was tabulated, reviewed and analyzed. Those results from the Phase III trial along with a comprehensive review and supplemental analyses of approximately 40 prior Oral-lyn™ clinical studies were compiled and submitted to the FDA in late December 2011 in a comprehensive package including a composite meta-analysis of all safety data. We are currently in ongoing discussions with the FDA with respect to the pathway for regulatory approval, including any additional clinical or pharmacological studies that might be required to support regulatory approval or enhance marketing success. We do not currently plan to expend significant resources on additional clinical trials of Oral-lyn™ until after such time that we secure additional financing.

 

Marketing

 

We have entered into licensing and distribution agreements with a number of multinational distributors to assist us with the process of gaining regulatory approval for the registration, marketing, distribution, and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ in countries throughout the world. Under these licensing and distribution agreements, excluding one with Dong Sung Pharm Co. in South Korea, we will not receive an upfront license fee, but the distributor will bear any and all costs associated with the procurement of governmental approvals for the sale of Generex Oral-Lyn™, including any clinical and regulatory costs. We possess the worldwide marketing rights to our oral insulin product.

 

In India, a marketing plan has been submitted by Shreya Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., to Generex on the marketing strategy for the distribution of Oral Recosulin™, the trademark under which Shreya will market Generex Oral-lyn™ within India. The marketing plan also includes post-approval marketing studies. Per the requirements of the regulatory approval in India, an in-country clinical study must be completed in India with Oral Recosulin™ before commercial sales can commence. The field portion of the study was completed in the third calendar quarter of 2012.  The marketing acceptance dossier has been submitted to the Indian regulatory authority. Generex has provided additional, detailed scientific data to support the Shreya submission. We have not recognized any revenues from the sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ in India through the end of the 2013 fiscal year or in the first three quarters of the 2014 fiscal year.

 

We do not currently plan to expend significant resources on additional clinical trials or to further the commercialization of Generex Oral-lyn™ until after such time that we secure additional financing.

 

Cancer and Immunotherapeutic Vaccine Platforms

 

Our wholly-owned subsidiary Antigen Express is developing proprietary vaccine formulations based upon two platform technologies that were discovered by its founder, the Ii-Key hybrid peptides and Ii-Suppression. These technologies are applicable for either antigen-specific immune stimulation or suppression, depending upon the dosing and formulation of its products. Using active stimulation, we are focusing on major diseases such as breast, prostate and ovarian cancer, melanoma, influenza (including H5N1 avian and H1N1 swine flu) and HIV. Autoimmune diseases such as diabetes and multiple sclerosis are the focus of our antigen-specific immune suppression work.

 

Antigen’s immunotherapeutic vaccine AE37 is currently in Phase II clinical trials for patients with HER-2/neu positive breast cancer. The trial is being conducted with the United States Military Cancer Institute's (USMCI) Clinical Trials Group and will examine the rate of relapse in patients with node-positive or high-risk node-negative breast cancer after two years. The study is randomized and will compare patients treated with AE37 plus the adjuvant GM-CSF versus GM-CSF alone. The Phase II trial follows a Phase I trial that demonstrated safety, tolerability, and immune stimulation of the AE37 vaccine in breast cancer patients.

 

Based on positive results in trials of the AE37 vaccine in breast cancer patients, we entered into an agreement in August 2006 with the Euroclinic, a private center in Athens, Greece, to commence clinical trials with the same compound as an immunotherapeutic vaccine for prostate cancer. A Phase I trial involving 29 patients was completed in August 2009, which similarly showed safety, tolerability and induction of a specific immune response. Agreements, as well as a protocol, are in place for initiation of a Phase II clinical trial once additional funding is available.

 

The same technology used to enhance immunogenicity is being applied in the development of a synthetic peptide vaccine for H5N1 avian influenza and the 2009 H1N1 swine flu. In April 2007, a Phase I clinical trial of Antigen’s proprietary peptides derived from the hemagglutinin protein of the H5N1 avian influenza virus was initiated in healthy volunteers in the Lebanese-Canadian Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon. We have completed the first portion of the Phase I trial. Modified peptide vaccines for avian influenza offer several advantages over traditional egg-based or cell-culture based vaccines. Modified peptide vaccines can be manufactured by an entirely synthetic process which reduces cost and increases both the speed and quantity of vaccine relative to egg- or cell-culture based vaccines. Another advantage is that the peptides are derived from regions of the virus that are similar enough in all H5N1 and H1N1 virus strains such that they would not have to be newly designed for the specific strain to emerge in a pandemic.

 

A Physician’s Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for the Phase I and Phase II trials in patients with stage II HER-2/neu positive breast cancer has been filed with the FDA. The Phase I trial was completed at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and the Phase II trial is taking place at 13 sites, including 11 in the U.S., one in Germany and one in Greece. A Physician’s Investigational New Drug application for a Phase I trial in patients with breast or ovarian cancer also has been filed with the FDA and this Phase I trial is being conducted in Dallas, Texas at the Mary Crowley Cancer Center. Applications were filed and approvals obtained for a Phase I prostate cancer trial using AE37 in Athens, Greece from the Hellenic Organization of Drugs, and this Phase I trial was completed in August 2009. The Ministry of Health in Lebanon gave approval for Phase I trial of our experimental H5N1 prophylactic vaccine in Beirut, Lebanon following submission of an application. All other immunomedicine products are in the pre-clinical stage of development.

 

Other Potential Buccal Products

 

We have had past discussions regarding possible research collaborations with various pharmaceutical companies concerning use of our large molecule drug delivery technology with other compounds, including monoclonal antibodies, human growth hormone, fertility hormone, estrogen and heparin, and a number of vaccines. We have not expended resources to further develop any of these products during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013 or in fiscal 2014 and do not currently have plans to expend further resources on these products.

 

Competition

 

We face competition from other providers of alternate forms of insulin. Some of our most significant competitors, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Novo Nordisk, have announced that they will discontinue development and/or sale of their inhalable forms of insulin. Generex Oral-lyn™ is not an inhaled insulin; rather, it is a buccally absorbed formulation with no residual pulmonary deposition. We believe that our buccal delivery technology offers several advantages, including the ease of use, portability, avoidance of pulmonary inhalation and safety profile. Furthermore, insulin administered through the Generex Oral-lyn™ RapidMist™ technology is absorbed directly into the blood stream and not only acts rapidly, but returns to baseline quickly, thereby minimizing the chance of developing hypoglycemia.

 

In May 2009, Mannkind Corporation submitted an NDA to the FDA requesting approval to market AFREZZA^® (insulin human [rDNA origin]) Inhalation Powder, for the treatment of adult patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes for the control of hyperglycemia. In January 2011, MannKind announced that it had received a complete response letter from the FDA for AFREZZA^®. In August 2011, MannKind announced that it has confirmed with the FDA the design of the two additional clinical studies which are required for AFREZZA^®. In August 2013, MannKind announced positive late-stage data on its inhaled insulin AFREZZA® from the two additional Phase III studies on Type 1 and Type 2diabetes and has resubmitted a new drug application to the FDA in October 2013 seeking approval for the marketing of AFREZZA^®. In addition to other delivery systems for insulin, there are numerous products, such as sulfonylureas (Amaryl®and Glynase®), biguanides (branded and generic metformin products), thiazolidinediones (Avandia®and Actos®), glucagon-like peptide 1 (Byetta®and Victoza®), and dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors (Januvia® and Onglyza™), which have been approved for use in the treatment of Type 2 diabetics in substitution of, or in addition to, insulin therapy. These products may also be considered competitive with insulin products.

 

Large pharmaceutical companies, such as Merck & Co., Inc., GlaxoSmithKline PLC, Novartis, Inc., MedImmune Inc. (a subsidiary of Astra-Zeneca, Inc.) and others, also compete against us in the oncology, immunomedicine and vaccine markets. These companies have competing experience and expertise in securing government contracts and grants to support research and development efforts, conducting testing and clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals to market products, as well as manufacturing and marketing approved products. As such, they are also considered significant competitors in these fields of pharmaceutical products and therapies. There are also many smaller companies which are pursuing similar technologies in these fields who are considered to be competitors of Generex.

 

Brief Company Background

 

We are a development stage company. From inception through the end of the quarter ended April 30, 2014, we have received only limited revenues from operations. We did not have any revenue for the nine months ended April 30, 2014 or in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013

 

We operate in only one segment: the research and development of drug delivery systems and technologies for metabolic and immunological diseases.

 

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1997. Our principal executive offices are located at 555 Richmond Street West, Suite 604, Toronto, Canada, and our telephone number at that address is (416) 364-2551. We maintain an Internet website at www.generex.com.  We make available free of charge on or through our website our filings with the SEC.

 

Accounting for Research and Development Projects

 

Our major research and development projects are the refinement of our platform buccal delivery technology, our buccal insulin project (Generex Oral-lyn™) and Antigen’s peptide immunotherapeutic vaccines.

 

During the first nine months of the current fiscal year and during the last fiscal year, we expended resources on the clinical testing and results analysis of our buccal insulin product, Generex Oral-lyn™. In July 2007, we received no objection from the FDA to proceed with our long-term multi-center Phase III study protocol for Generex Oral-lyn™. The first Oral-lyn global Phase III trial initiated in April 2008 had a final patient visit date in August 2011. After appropriate validation, the data from approximately 450 patients was tabulated, reviewed and analyzed. Those results from the Phase III trial along with a comprehensive review and supplemental analyses of approximately 40 prior Oral-lyn clinical studies were compiled and submitted to the FDA in late December 2011 in a comprehensive package including a composite meta-analysis of all safety data. We continue to have discussions with the FDA with respect to the pathway for regulatory approval, including any additional clinical or pharmacological studies that might be required to support regulatory approval or enhance marketing success. Late-stage trials involve testing our product with a large number of patients over a significant period of time. The completion of late-stage trials in Canada and the United States will require significantly greater funds than we currently have on hand. We do not currently plan to expend significant resources on additional clinical trials of Oral-lyn™ until after such time that we secure additional financing.

 

During the first nine months of the current fiscal year and during the last fiscal year, we expended resources on research and development relating to Antigen’s peptide immunotherapeutic vaccines and related technologies. Antigen has one vaccine currently in Phase II clinical trials in the United States involving patients with HER-2/neu positive breast cancer and has completed a Phase I clinical trial for a vaccine for H5N1 avian influenza at the Lebanese-Canadian Hospital in Beirut. Antigen’s prostate cancer vaccine based on AE37 has been tested in a completed (August 2009) Phase I clinical trial in Greece.

 

Because of various uncertainties, we cannot predict the timing of completion and commercialization of our buccal insulin in all jurisdictions or Antigen’s peptide immunotherapeutic vaccines or related technologies. These uncertainties include the success of current studies, our ability to obtain the required financing and the time required to obtain regulatory approval even if our research and development efforts are completed and successful, our ability to enter into collaborative marketing and distribution agreements with third-parties, and the success of such marketing and distribution arrangements. For the same reasons, we cannot predict when any products may begin to produce net cash inflows.

 

Most of our buccal delivery research and development activities to date have involved developing our platform technology for use with insulin. Insubstantial amounts have been expended on projects with other drugs, including morphine and fentanyl, and those projects involved a substantial amount of platform technology development. As a result, we have not made significant distinctions in the accounting for research and development expenses among products, as a significant portion of all research has involved improvements to the platform technology in connection with insulin, which may benefit all of our potential buccal products. During the nine months ended April 30, 2014, approximately 23% of our $1,097,877 in research and development expenses was attributable to insulin and platform technology development.  During the nine months ended April 30, 2013, approximately 23% of our $1,631,987 in research and development expenses was attributable to insulin and platform technology development.

 

During the nine months ended April 30, 2014, approximately 77% of our $1,097,877 in research and development expenses was attributable to Antigen's immunomedicine products compared to approximately 77%, or $1,263,286 for the nine months ended April 30, 2013.  Because these products are in initial phases of clinical trials or early, pre-clinical stage of development (with the exception of the Phase II clinical trials of Antigen HER-2/neu positive breast cancer vaccine that are underway), all of the expenses were accounted for as basic research and no distinctions were made as to particular products. Due to the early stage of development, we cannot predict the timing of completion of any products arising from this technology, or when products from this technology might begin producing revenues.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our interim consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial statements. These principles require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

We consider certain accounting policies related to impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and accrued liabilities to be critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations:

 

Going Concern.  As shown in the consolidated interim financial statements, we have not been profitable and have reported recurring losses from operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate in the normal course of business.  The consolidated interim financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Revenue Recognition. Net sales of our over-the-counter confectionary products are generally recognized in the period in which the products are delivered. Delivery of the products generally completes the criteria for revenue recognition for us. In the event where the customers have the right of return, sales are deferred until the right of return lapses, the product is sold to a third party or a provision for returns can be reasonably estimated based on historical experience.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Management reviews for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of property and equipment may not be recoverable under the provisions of accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred based upon expected future cash flows, the loss is recognized in the Statement of Operations. As of April 30, 2014, there were no indications of any impairments of our long-lived assets.

 

Intangible Assets. We have intangible assets related to patents. The determination of the related estimated useful lives and whether or not these assets are impaired involves significant judgments. In assessing the recoverability of these intangible assets, we use an estimate of undiscounted operating income and related cash flows over the remaining useful life, market conditions and other factors to determine the recoverability of the asset. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges against these assets. There have been no patent write downs or disposals in fiscal 2013 or in the 2014 fiscal year to date.

 

Estimating accrued liabilities, specifically litigation accruals. Management's current estimated range of liabilities related to pending litigation is based on management's best estimate of future costs. While the final resolution of the litigation could result in amounts different than current accruals, and therefore have an impact on our consolidated financial results in a future reporting period, management believes the ultimate outcome will not have a significant effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

Share-based compensation. Management determines value of stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Management determines value of stock-based compensation to non-employees and consultants in accordance with and ASC 505, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.

 

Derivative warrant liability.  FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  As a result, certain derivative warrant liabilities (namely those with a price protection feature) are now separately valued as of August 1, 2009 and accounted for on our balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in earnings.  For our balance sheets as of April 30, 2014 and July 31, 2013, we used the binomial lattice model to estimate the fair value of these warrants. Key assumptions of the binomial lattice option-pricing model include the market price of our stock, the exercise price of the warrants, applicable volatility rates, risk-free interest rates, expected dividends and the instrument’s remaining term.  These assumptions require significant management judgment.  In addition, changes in any of these variables during a period can result in material changes in the fair value (and resultant gains or losses) of this derivative instrument.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three months ended April 30, 2014 compared to three months ended April 30, 2013

 

We had net income for the quarter ended April 30, 2014 of $270,923 versus net income of $1,297,448 in the corresponding quarter of the prior fiscal year. The income in this year’s fiscal quarter was caused primarily by the gain due to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $1,591,375 offset by operating expenses of $1,242,849, while in the prior year the gain due to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities was $2,690,786 and operating expenses were $1,433,640. Our operating loss for the quarter ended April 30, 2014 decreased to $1,242,849 compared to $1,433,640 in the same fiscal quarter of 2013.  The decrease in operating loss resulted from a decrease in research and development expenses (to $348,104 from $478,110) and adecrease in general and administrative expenses (to $894,745 from $955,350). We did not have any revenues in either of the quarters ended April 30, 2014 or 2013.

 

The decrease in research and development expenses in the current fiscal quarter versus the comparative quarter in the previous fiscal year is primarily due to there being no installments to the contract research organization for the Antigen Phase II clinical trial. Our efforts to significantly reduce expenses in all categories also contributed to the decrease in this category. In the general and administrative expense category, a reduction in professional services expenses accounted for the majority of the reduction as compared to the previous year quarter ended April 30, 2013.

 

Our interest expense in the third quarter of fiscal 2013 was $78,126 compared to the previous year’s fiscal quarter at $86,421.   We did not have any income from assets held for investment (net of expense) in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to $126,701 in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year, as we sold all these properties prior to this fiscal quarter. Change in fair value of derivative liabilities contributed a gain of $1,591,375 in the third quarter of fiscal 2014compared to a gain of $ $2,690,786 in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

 

Our net income available to shareholders was decreased by $1,420,050 in the third quarter of fiscal 2014 relating to a preferred stock dividend as a result of the accounting treatment of our convertible preferred stock financing in March 2014. This amount represents a deemed dividend to the investors as a result of this financing, as further described in Note 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.  There was no preferred stock dividend in the comparable period of fiscal 2013.

 

Nine months ended April 30, 2014 compared to nine months ended April 30, 2013

 

We had a net loss for the nine months ended April 30, 2014 of $2,385,273 versus a net loss of $4,999,736 in the corresponding nine months of the prior fiscal year. The loss in this year’s fiscal period was caused primarily operating expenses of $3,696,761 and a gain due to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $1,360,818, while in the prior year operating expenses were $4,664,451 and there was a loss due to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $1,092,504. Our operating loss for the nine months ended April 30, 2014 decreased to $3,696,761 compared to $4,664,451 in the same fiscal period of 2013.  The decrease in operating loss resulted from a decrease in research and development expenses (to $1,097,877 from $1,631,987) and a decrease in general and administrative expenses (to $2,598,884 from $3,032,464). We did not have any revenues in either of the nine-month periods ended April 30, 2014 or 2013.

 

The decrease in research and development expenses in the current fiscal year versus the comparative period in the previous fiscal year is primarily due to there being no significant expenditures in this fiscal year related to the field portion of the global Phase III clinical trials of our oral insulin product and platform technology which was completed in in the first quarter of the prior fiscal year and there were no installments due to the contract research organization for the Antigen Phase II clinical trial in the two most recent fiscal quarters. Our efforts to significantly reduce expenses in all categories also contributed to the decrease in this category. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is related to a decrease in professional services expenses, including legal and consulting services of approximately $328,000, in addition to a decrease in office related expenses of approximately $84,000 in the nine months ended April 30, 2014, as compared to the previous year nine months ended April 30, 2013. We also incurred reductions of expenses in most other categories due to our efforts to conserve cash until we complete the strategic development plan announced by management on March 30, 2011.

 

Our interest expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 was $243,506 compared to the previous year’s fiscal period at $453,677 due to the lower fees and costs associated with the November 2012 property refinancing, as well as lower penalties incurred upon the early discharge of the mortgages on the sale of our properties held for investment and office property.   We recognized lower income from assets held for investment (net of expense) of $193,607 in the first three quarters of fiscal 2014 compared to $1,210,567 in the same period of the previous fiscal year due to the almost $1.1 million accounting gain on the aforementioned property sale in the fiscal 2013 period. Change in fair value of derivative liabilities contributed a gain of $1,360,818 in the first nine months of fiscal 2014compared to a loss of $1,092,504 in the first nine months of fiscal 2013.

 

Our net income available to shareholders was decreased by $1,828,329 in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 relating to a preferred stock dividend as a result of the accounting treatment of our convertible preferred stock financings in January 2014 and March 2014 versus a preferred stock dividend of $102,297 in the comparable fiscal 2013 period. These amounts represent deemed dividends to the investors as a result of financings in March 2014, January 2014 and August 2012, respectively, as further described in Note 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. 

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Resources

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

To date we have financed our development stage activities primarily through private placements of our common stock and securities convertible into our common stock.

 

As of April 30, 2014, our current cash position is not sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months. Therefore, we will require additional funds to support our working capital requirements and any development or other activities, or will need to curtail our clinical trials and other planned activities or suspend operations.

 

While we have financed our development stage activities to date primarily through private placements of our common stock and securities convertible into our common stock and raised approximately $5.3 million during fiscal 2014 to date (including proceeds from warrant exercises and the net proceeds from the sale of our properties held for investment) and $5.3 million during fiscal 2013 (including the proceeds from our mortgage financing in November 2012 and proceeds from warrant exercises), our cash balances have been low thus far in fiscal 2014.

 

On March 30, 2011, our realigned management team announced its strategic development plan for Generex’s future growth. The plan included the spin-out of Antigen Express, a reverse stock split for Generex and a rights offering to Generex stockholders. As proposed, we would spin out Antigen Express as a separate DTC-eligible company, register its shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and seek to list its shares on a national securities exchange. Management believes that the spin-out would increase value for stockholders and provide Antigen Express with ready access to capital markets to finance its on-going clinical and regulatory initiatives. Management further believes that the spin-out would benefit Generex, by allowing Generex to hold a controlling interest in a publicly-traded company while continuing to focus on maximizing opportunities for its buccal drug delivery platform. The spin-out would be accomplished by the issuance of one or more dividends of Antigen Express stock to Generex stockholders. No determination has been made as to the timing of the proposed spin-out. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

 

Although stockholders approved a reverse split proposal at our annual general meeting held on May 22, 2014, which approval allows the Board to implement a reverse split in its discretion and is not contingent upon listing our common stock on a national stock exchange, the terms of the securities purchase agreements that we entered into on June 17, 2013, January 14, 2014 and March 27, 2014 prohibit us from undertaking a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of our common stock except for a reverse stock split made in conjunction with a listing of the common stock on a national securities exchange.

 

Management may seek to meet all or some of our operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placement of our common stock, preferred stock offerings and offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments as well as through merger or acquisition opportunities.  The securities purchase agreements that we entered into on June 17, 2013, January 14, 2014 and March 27, 2014 with certain investors prohibits us from (i) issuing additional equity securities until 60 days after the effective date of a registration statement covering the resale of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and conversion of the preferred stock sold in that transaction and (ii) issuing additional debt or equity securities with a variable conversion or exercise price until June 17, 2014, January 14, 2015 and March 27, 2015, respectively.

 

Upon the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K on October 14, 2011, we were no longer eligible to use Form S-3 to register shares sold to investors, as the aggregate market value of our outstanding voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates was less than $75 million. As we are required under the registration rights agreements that we entered into on January 31, 2012, August 8, 2012, December 10, 2012, June 17, 2013, January 14, 2014 and March 27, 2014 with certain investors to register shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of the securities purchased by the investors, we filed the respective registration statements on Form S-1. We incurred additional legal and accounting fees in connection with the preparation of these Form S-1 registration statements.

 

In addition, management is actively pursuing financial and strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures, industry collaboration activities, and potential strategic partners. Management has sold, and is also seeking further sales of, non-essential real estate assets which are classified as Assets Held for Investment to augment its cash position and reduce its long-term debt.

 

We believe that the successful commercial launch of Oral-lyn™ in countries where we have approval would enhance our ability to access additional sources of funding.  We will continue to require substantial funds to continue research and development, including preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates, further clinical trials for Oral-lyn™ and to commence sales and marketing efforts if the FDA or other regulatory approvals are obtained.  

 

Unforeseen problems with the conduct or results of Phase III clinical trials for Oral-lyn™ or further negative developments in general economic conditions could interfere with our ability to raise additional capital as needed, or materially adversely affect the terms upon which such capital is available.   We cannot provide any assurance that we will obtain the required funding. Our inability to obtain required funding in the near future or our inability to obtain funding on favorable terms will have a material adverse effect on our operations and our strategic development plan for future growth. If we cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement our strategic development plan, our liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.

 

Proceeds from Recent Financings

 

Financing –March 2014

Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants

 

On March 27, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which we agreed to sell an aggregate of 2,075 shares of our newly designated non-voting Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 100% of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock. The purchase closed on March 28, 2014. We sold the convertible preferred stock and warrants in units, with each unit consisting of one share of convertible preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 100% of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of such share of convertible preferred stock. Each unit was sold at a negotiated price of $1,000, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,075,000. An aggregate of 138,333,334 shares of our common stock are issuable upon conversion of, or exercise of, the convertible preferred stock and warrants. We received net proceeds of approximately $2,020,000 from this transaction.

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Series F convertible preferred stock will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of our common stock at an effective conversion price of $0.03 per share, and will accrue a 9% dividend until March 27, 2017 and, beginning on March 27, 2017 and on each one year anniversary thereafter, such dividend rate will increase by an additional 3%. The dividend will be payable quarterly on September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30, beginning on the first such date after the original issue date and on each conversion date in cash, or at our option, in shares of common stock. In the event that the convertible preferred stock is converted prior to March 27, 2017, we will pay the holder of the converted preferred stock an amount equal to $270 per $1,000 of stated value of the convertible preferred stock, less the amount of all prior quarterly dividends paid on such converted preferred stock before the relevant conversion date. Such “make-whole payment” may be made in cash or, at our option, in shares of our common stock. In addition, beginning March 27, 2016, we will pay dividends on shares of preferred stock equal to (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) and in the same form as dividends (other than dividends in the form of common stock) actually paid on shares of the common stock when, as and if such dividends are paid. We will incur a late fee of 18% per annum on unpaid dividends.

 

The conversion price of the Series F convertible preferred stock will be subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The conversion price will also be adjusted if we sell or grant any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then conversion price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by us pro rata to the holders of our common stock to the same extent as if such holders had converted all of their shares of convertible preferred stock. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive, upon conversion of their shares, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of our common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction.

 

We may become obligated to redeem the Series F convertible preferred stock in cash upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, including, material breach of certain contractual obligations to the holders of the convertible preferred stock, the occurrence of a change in control of Generex, the occurrence of certain insolvency events relating to Generex, or the failure of our common stock to continue to be listed or quoted for trading on one or more specified United States securities exchanges or regulated quotation service. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, each holder of convertible preferred stock will have the option to redeem such holder’s shares of convertible preferred stock for a redemption price payable in shares of common stock or receive an increased dividend rate of 18% on all of such holder’s outstanding convertible preferred stock. Late fees will apply on all redemption amounts not paid within five trading days of the payment date.

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the warrants will be exercisable at any time after their date of issuance and on or before the fifth-year anniversary thereafter at an exercise price of $0.03 per share of common stock. The exercise price of the warrants and, in some cases, the number of shares issuable upon exercise, are subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise will also be adjusted if we sell or grant any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then exercise price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by us pro rata to the holders of our common stock to the same extent as if such holders had exercised all of their warrants. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of their warrants, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction.

 

The securities purchase agreement and the certificate of designation authorizing the Series F convertible preferred stock include certain agreements and covenants for the benefit of the holders of the convertible preferred stock, including restrictions on our ability to amend the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, pay cash dividends or distributions with respect to our common stock or other junior securities, repurchase more than a de minimis number of shares of our common stock or other junior securities.

 

With very limited exceptions, the investors will have a pro rata right of first refusal in respect of participation in any private debt or equity financings undertaken by us during the 12 months following the closing of the transaction.

 

We offered these securities privately pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. We entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the public resale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock, issuable as dividends on the preferred stock, issuable upon exercise of the warrants and issued as a finders’ fee.

 

We agreed to file the registration statement within 25 days of the closing of the transaction and to use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 75 days after the filing date. If these deadlines were not met, we would be liable for liquidated damages up to 6% of the purchase price under the securities purchase agreement. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 16, 2014.

 

In addition, until the first anniversary date of the securities purchase agreement, each investor may, in its sole determination, elect to purchase, severally and not jointly with the other investors, in one or more purchases, in the ratio of such investor's original subscription amount to the original aggregate subscription amount of all investors, additional units consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants at a purchase price of $1,000 per unit with an aggregate subscription amount thereof of up to $2,075,000, which units will be identical to the units of convertible preferred stock and warrants issued in connection with the March 2014 closing.

 

In addition, if, during the six-month period after the issuance of the warrants and continuing until such time that all of the securities may be sold without our meeting the current public information requirement under Securities Act rule 144(c)(1), we fail to meet such requirement, we will pay liquidate damages equal to 2.0% of the purchase price paid by each investor, payable in cash every 30 days until current public information for Generex is available or is no longer required for the investors to rely on Rule 144 to transfer the securities (including underlying securities) acquired under the securities purchase agreement.

On June 17, 2013, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which we agreed to sell an aggregate of 1,225 shares of our newly designated non-voting Series E 9% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 100% of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock. Under the June 17, 2013 securities purchase agreement, for a period of up to one year, each investor may, in its sole determination, elect to purchase, in one or more purchases, additional units consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants at a purchase price in the amount originally purchased by such investor (the “Greenshoe”). The units purchased in the Greenshoe will be identical to the units of convertible preferred stock and warrants originally issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

 

On January 14, 2014, in connection with the exercise of the Greenshoe by certain investors, we entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which we agreed to sell an aggregate of 800 shares of our Series E 9% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 100% of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock. The purchase closed on January 15, 2014. Each unit was sold at a negotiated price of $1,000, for an aggregate purchase price of $800,000. An aggregate of 53,333,336 shares of the Company’s common stock are initially issuable upon conversion of, or exercise of, the convertible preferred stock and warrants.

 

With very limited exceptions, the investors will have a pro rata right of first refusal in respect of participation in any private debt or equity financings undertaken by us during the 12 months following the closing of the transaction.

 

We offered these securities privately pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933.

Series E 9% Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants

*Upon issuance of securities at a price per share of common stock less than the then applicable exercise price, the warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustment of the exercise price and to the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each warrant such that the aggregate exercise price payable upon exercise of the warrant will be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. Due to the anti-dilution adjustment provision of these warrants, they have been reclassified on Generex’s balance sheet as a liability under the caption “Derivative Warrant Liability” with any changes in fair value at each reporting period recorded in earnings in accordance with ASC 815.

 

In addition, we may receive additional proceeds from the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the securities purchase agreement and related documents that we entered into on March 31, 2008 with existing institutional investors relating to a private placement of 8% secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) and warrants (the “Series Warrants”) for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $20,650,000.  As of June 1, 2009, the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest on the Notes were satisfied in full.

 

The Series Warrants issued in connection with the March 2008 securities purchase agreement included:

 

(i)

Series A and A-1 Warrants, which are exercisable for a period of 7 years into an aggregate of 75% of the number of shares of our common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes, with the Series A Warrants being exercisable into 5,257,729 shares immediately upon issuance and the Series A-1 warrants being exercisable into 7,541,857 shares as of October 1, 2008;

 

(ii)

Series B Warrants, which became exercisable on October 1, 2008 into 100% of the shares of our common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes (initially 17,066,166 shares) and remain exercisable for a period of 18 months after the registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Notes and Warrants was declared effective by the SEC; and

 

(iii)

Series C Warrants, which are exercisable for a period of 7 years as of October 1, 2008, but only to the extent that the Series B Warrant are exercised and only in the same percentage that the Series B Warrants are exercised, up to a maximum percentage of 75% of the number of shares of our common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes (initially a maximum of 12,799,580 shares).

 

The initial exercise price of each Series Warrant was $1.21.  The Series Warrants include a cashless exercise feature. The exercise price of the Series Warrants was subsequently reduced initially to $0.50, then to $0.33, to $0.25, to $0.15, to $0.08 and currently to $0.03 as a result of a price protection provision triggered by our offering of stock in private placements in May 2009, January and July 2011 and February, August 2012 and December 2012.  This price protection feature allows for the reduction in the exercise price of the Series Warrants in the event we subsequently issue common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, such as options and warrants, at a price per share less than the Series Warrant exercise price then in effect. In addition, with any reduction to the Series Warrant exercise price, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each Series Warrant will be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Series Warrant exercise price payable for the adjusted number of shares issuable upon exercise will be the same as the aggregate Series Warrant exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. We account for these warrants with price protection in accordance with ASC 815 as described in Note 10 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this registration statement.

 

As of March 3, 2014, outstanding Series Warrants were as follows (after adjustment for anti-dilution provisions and subsequent exercises):

 

Date Issued		Aggregate No. of Shares Unexercised				Exercise Price*			Expiration Date
March 31, 2008			64,516,758			$	0.03		March 31, 2016
March 31, 2008			27,272,720			$	0.03		September 30, 2016

 

*Upon issuance of securities at a price per share of common stock less than the then applicable exercise price, the warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustment of the exercise price and to the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each warrant such that the aggregate exercise price payable upon exercise of the warrant will be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. Due to the anti-dilution adjustment provision of these warrants, they have been reclassified on Generex’s balance sheet as a liability under the caption “Derivative Warrant Liability” with any changes in fair value at each reporting period recorded in earnings in accordance with ASC 815.

 

Cash Flows for the Nine months ended April 30, 2014

 

For the nine months ended April 30, 2014, we used $2,758,957 in cash to fund our operating activities. The use for operating activities included a net loss of $2,385,273, changes to working capital including a decrease of $1,181 related to deferred revenue, offset by an increase of $300,383 related to accounts payable and accrued expenses and an increase related to other current assets of $51,003.

 

The use of cash was offset by non-cash expenses of $280,743 related to depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation to executives, employees and directors of $262,871, stock-based compensation issued in exchange for services rendered by consultants of $360,500 and common stock issued for interest on our convertible preferred stock of $522,450. There was also a year-to-date non-cash gain of $1,360,818 related to the fair valuation of the derivative liabilities at April 30, 2014 and an accounting gain of $188,869 related to the sale of our remaining properties held for investment.

 

We had net cash provided by investing activities of $821,968 in the nine months ended April 30, 2014, representing primarily the net proceeds after real estate commissions of $883,780 related to the sale of the properties held for investment, offset by costs incurred for patents of $61,812.

 

We had cash provided by financing activities in the nine months ended April 30, 2014 of $4,465,681, which pertained primarily to proceeds from cash exercises of warrants of $2,301,961 and net proceeds from the issuance of preferred stock of $2,770,000, offset by the discharge of long-term debt upon the sale of properties of $606,806.

 

Our net working capital deficiency at April 30, 2014 improved to $4,064,777 from negative $6,696,473 at July 31, 2013, which was attributed largely to proceeds from cash exercises of warrants and net proceeds from the Series E and F convertible preferred stock financings in January 2014 and March 2014, offset by our cash used in operations for the nine-month period ended April 30, 2014.

 

Conversion of Outstanding Series A, Series B, Series C, Series D and Series E and Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock

 

All outstanding shares of our Series A 9% Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into shares of our common stock prior to the end of our fiscal year ended July 31, 2012. A total of 17,166,666 shares of common stock have been issued upon the conversion of 2,575 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock. Upon conversion, we paid the holders of the Series A convertible preferred stock a “make whole” payment equal to $270 per $1,000 of stated value of the Series A convertible preferred stock, less the amount of all prior quarterly dividends paid on such converted preferred stock before the relevant conversion date. We issued 6,129,666 additional shares of common stock on such conversions of the Series A convertible preferred stock. Dividends paid on the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock were $12,383 during the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012.

 

As of April 30, 2014, all of the 2,000 shares of our Series B 9% Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of our common stock. We issued 38,520,832 shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Series B convertible preferred stock and an additional 14,819,679 shares of common stock were issued as “make-whole payments” on such conversions.

 

As of April 30, 2014, all of the 750 shares of our Series C 9% Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of our common stock. We issued 22,916,665 shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Series C convertible preferred stock and an additional 6,664,863 shares of common stock were issued as “make-whole payments” on such conversions.

 

As of April 30, 2014, all of the 750 shares of our Series D 9% Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of our common stock. We issued 24,999,999 shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Series D convertible preferred stock and an additional 7,825,191 shares of common stock were issued as “make-whole payments” on such conversions.

 

As of April 30, 2014, 2,000 shares of our Series E 9% Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of our common stock. We issued 66,666,666 shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Series E convertible preferred stock and an additional 18,585,193 shares of common stock were issued as “make-whole payments” on such conversions.

 

As of April 30, 2014, 230 shares of our Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock had been converted into shares of our common stock. We issued 7,666,666 shares of common stock upon the conversion of the Series F convertible preferred stock and an additional 2,070,000 shares of common stock were issued as “make-whole payments” on such conversions.

 

Funding Requirements and Commitments

 

If we obtain necessary financing, we expect to devote substantial resources to obtaining regulatory approval of Generex Oral-lyn™ in the U.S., Canada and Europe and to commercializing Generex Oral-lyn™.  We may also devote resources to obtaining approval for the importation, marketing and commercialization of Generex Oral-lyn™ in other countries where we have licensed distributors.

 

Under the long-term agreement that we signed with sanofi-aventis in December 2009, sanofi-aventis will manufacture and supply recombinant human insulin to us in the territories specified in the agreement. Through this agreement, we will procure recombinant human insulin crystals for use in the production of Generex Oral-lyn™. The terms of the supply agreement required us to make certain minimum purchases of insulin from sanofi-aventis through the period ended December 31, 2011, which minimum purchases we did not satisfy. Sanofi-aventis will be our exclusive supplier in certain countries and a non-exclusive supplier in some other countries. Sanofi-aventis may delete any territory from the agreement in which Generex Oral-lyn™ has not been approved for commercial sale by December 31, 2011. The prices under the supply agreement are subject to adjustment beginning after December 31, 2012. As we did not meet the minimum purchase requirements by December 31, 2011, sanofi-aventis may terminate the agreement. Upon termination, we would be obligated to pay sanofi-aventis for all materials and components that it has acquired or ordered to manufacture insulin based on our forecasts or minimum purchase commitments, all related work-in-progress (at cost) and all finished insulin in inventory. We did not provide any forecasts to sanofi-aventis and have not included any accruals related to the purchase commitments in our interim financial statements as of April 30, 2014 or July 31, 2013, nor has sanofi-aventis terminated the agreement.

 

In addition to the resources that we will dedicate to regulatory approval and commercialization of Generex Oral-lyn™, we will expend resources on further clinical development of our immunotherapeutic vaccines.

 

Our future funding requirements and commitments and our ability to raise additional capital will depend on factors that include:

 

·

the timing and amount of expense incurred to complete our clinical trials;

 

·

the costs and timing of the regulatory process as we seek approval of our products in development;

 

·

the advancement of our products in development;

 

·

our ability to generate new relationships with industry partners throughout the world that will provide us with regulatory assistance and long-term commercialization opportunities;

 

·

the timing, receipt and amount of sales, if any, from Generex Oral-lyn™ in India, Lebanon, Algeria and Ecuador;

 

·

the cost of manufacturing (paid to third parties) of our licensed products, and the cost of marketing and sales activities of those products;

 

·

the costs of prosecuting, maintaining, and enforcing patent claims, if any claims are made;

 

	·	our ability to maintain existing collaborative relationships and establish new relationships as we advance our products in development;
	·	our ability to obtain the necessary financing to fund our operations and effect our strategic development plan; and

 

·

the receptivity of the financial market to biopharmaceutical companies.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Company’s financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors, and we do not have any non-consolidated special purpose entities.

 

Certain Related Party Transactions

 

See Part III, Item 13 – Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Directors Independence in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2013, as amended, for further descriptions of our transactions with related parties during the last fiscal year.

 

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued guidance regarding the presentation of Comprehensive Income within financial statements. The guidance was effective for our annual fiscal period ended July 31, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in the exchange rates between U.S. and Canadian currencies and with changes in the interest rates related to our fixed rate debt. We do not believe that any of these risks will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

At the present time, we maintain our cash in short-term government or government guaranteed instruments, short-term commercial paper, and interest bearing bank deposits or demand bank deposits which do not earn interest. A substantial majority of these instruments and deposits are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the exception of funds denominated in Canadian dollars on deposit in Canadian banks to meet short-term operating needs in Canada. We do not presently employ any hedging or similar strategy intended to mitigate against losses that could be incurred as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates between U.S. and Canadian currencies.

 

As of April 30, 2014, we did not have any fixed rate debt. We have neither issued nor own any long-term debt instruments, or any other financial instruments, for trading purposes to which we would be subject to material market risks.

 

We have warrants outstanding with price protection provisions that allow for the reduction in the exercise price of the warrants in the event we subsequently issue common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, such as options and warrants, at a price per share less than the warrant exercise price then in effect. In addition, with any reduction to the warrant exercise price, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each warrant will be increased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate warrant exercise price payable for the adjusted number of shares issuable upon exercise will be the same as the aggregate warrant exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. We account for the warrants with price protection in accordance with FASB ASC 815. We recognize the warrants with price protection in our consolidated balance sheet as liabilities. The warrant liability is revalued at each reporting period and changes in fair value are recognized currently in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption Change in fair value of derivative warrant liability. While the change in fair value of the derivative warrant liability has no effect on our cash flows, the gains or losses can have a significant impact on non-operating income and expenses and thus the net income or loss. As of April 30, 2014, there were 239,788,852 warrants outstanding subject to price protection provisions with an estimated fair value of $5,699,770 or $0.024 per warrant. If the estimated fair value of the warrants increases, there will be a corresponding non-operating expense equal to the change in the value of the liability. Likewise, if the estimated fair value of the warrants decreases, there will be a corresponding non-operating gain equal to the change in the value of the liability. There is a directly proportional relationship between the fair value of the warrants and the market price of the stock; therefore increases or decreases in the market price will lead to corresponding increases or decreases in the value of the warrant liability and result in losses or gains, respectively, on our consolidated statements of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of and with the participation of Generex’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and acting Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of Generex’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that, as of April 30, 2014, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2014, there were no changes in Generex’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Generex’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

 

In August 2011, the estate of Antonio Perri, the late father of Ms. Perri, commenced an action against Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the law firm of Brans, Lehun, Baldwin LLP and William Lehun in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice claiming that the estate is entitled to the proceeds of sale (approximately $1,730,000) received by the Company on its sale of two properties to Golden Bull Estates Ltd., a company controlled by Ms. Perri. The suit alleges that no consideration was received when the Company purchased the two properties from Antonio Perri in 1998. We responded to this statement of claim. On May 6, 2014, we received a court order which dismissed this action for delay as the plaintiff has not brought this action to conclusion or set it down for trial within the time prescribed by the laws of Ontario.

 

See Note 6 – Pending Litigation of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements set forth under Item 1 of Part I of this Quarterly Report for a description of legal proceedings in which we are currently involved.

 

We are involved in certain other legal proceedings in addition to those specifically described in this Quarterly Report. Subject to the uncertainty inherent in all litigation, we do not believe at the present time that the resolution of any of these legal proceedings is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

With respect to all litigation matters, as additional information concerning the estimates used by us becomes known, we reassess each matter’s position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

 

In addition to the other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully review and consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended July 31, 2013, as amended, certain of which have been updated below. These factors materially affect our business, financial condition or future results of operations. The risks, uncertainties and other factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks, uncertainties and other factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations, financial condition or operating results. Any of the risks, uncertainties and other factors could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline substantially.

 

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition

 

We will require additional financing to continue our operations.

 

As of April 30, 2014, our current cash position is not sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months based on the pace of our planned activities. To continue operations, we will require additional funds to support our working capital requirements and any expansion or other activities, or will need to significantly reduce our clinical trials and other planned activities or suspend operations. Management is seeking various alternatives to ensure that we can meet some of our operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placement of our common stock, preferred stock offerings and offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments as well as through merger or acquisition opportunities. The securities purchase agreements that we entered into on June 17, 2013, January 14, 2014 and March 27, 2014 with certain investors limits the financing activities that we may undertake in the near future as it prohibits us from (i) issuing additional equity securities until 60 days after the effective date of a registration statement covering the resale of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and conversion of the preferred stock sold in each transaction and (ii) issuing additional debt or equity securities with a variable conversion or exercise price until June 17, 2014, January 14, 2015 and March 27, 2015, respectively. In addition, management is actively seeking strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures. Management has sold non-essential real estate assets which were classified as Assets Held for Investment to augment its cash position.

 

We cannot provide any assurance that we will obtain the required funding. Our inability to obtain required funding in the near future or our inability to obtain funding on favorable terms will have a material adverse effect on our operations and our strategic development plan for future growth. If we cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement our strategic development plan, our liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.

 

We have a history of losses and will incur additional losses.

 

We are a development stage company with a limited history of operations, and do not expect sufficient revenues to support our operation in the immediately foreseeable future. We do not expect to receive significant revenues in Ecuador, Algeria and Lebanon where we have been approved for commercial sale in the next twelve months. While we have entered into a licensing and distribution agreement with a leading Indian-based pharmaceutical company and insulin distributor, we do not anticipate recognizing significant revenue from sales of Generex Oral-lyn™ in India in the next twelve months, as our Indian partner has to receive marketing approval of a completed in-country clinical study before the product can be offered for commercial sale in India.

 

To date, we have not been profitable and our accumulated net loss available to shareholders was $372,102,178 at April 30, 2014. Our losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in research and development, including clinical trials, and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations. While we seek to attain profitability, we cannot be sure that we will ever achieve product and other revenue sufficient for us to attain this objective.

 

With the exception of Generex Oral-lyn™, which has received regulatory approval in Ecuador, India (subject to marketing approval of an in-country clinical study), Lebanon and Algeria, our product candidates are in research or early stages of pre-clinical and clinical development. We will need to conduct substantial additional research, development and clinical trials. We will also need to receive necessary regulatory clearances both in the United States and foreign countries and obtain meaningful patent protection for and establish freedom to commercialize each of our product candidates. We must also complete further clinical trials and seek regulatory approvals for Generex Oral-lyn™ in countries outside of Ecuador, India, Lebanon and Algeria. We cannot be sure that we will obtain required regulatory approvals, or successfully research, develop, commercialize, manufacture and market any other product candidates. We expect that these activities, together with future general and administrative activities, will result in significant expenses for the foreseeable future.

 

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of July 31, 2013.

 

To date, we have not been profitable and our accumulated net loss available to shareholders was $372,102,178 at April 30, 2014, and our consolidated balance sheet reflected a stockholders’ deficiency of $8,464,932 at that date. We received a report from our independent auditors for the year ended July 31, 2013 that included an explanatory paragraph describing an uncertainty as to Generex’s ability to continue as a going concern. We must secure financing to continue our operations.

 

Due to material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, our internal controls were determined not to be effective for the prior fiscal year ended July 31, 2012. Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting may not be effective in future periods as a result of existing or newly identified material weaknesses in internal controls.

 

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports and effectively prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results could be harmed. Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish a report by management on internal control over financial reporting, including management’s assessment of the effectiveness of such control. Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, our business and operating results could be adversely impacted, we could fail to meet our reporting obligations, and our business and stock price could be adversely affected.

 

At July 31, 2012, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and concluded that, subject to the inherent limitations identified in Item 9A of Part II of the Form 10-K filed on October 15, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting because of inadequate segregation of duties over authorization, review and recording of transactions, as well as the financial reporting of such transactions. Our independent auditors issued an adverse attestation report regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting at July 31, 2012.

 

We believe we have taken appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these deficiencies, however we cannot be certain that our remediation efforts will ensure that our management designs, implements and maintains adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future or that the changes made will be sufficient to address and eliminate the material weaknesses previously identified. Our inability to remedy any additional deficiencies or material weaknesses that may be identified in the future could, among other things, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as impair our ability to meet our quarterly, annual and other reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in a timely manner, and require us to incur additional costs or to divert management resources.

 

Risks Related to the Market for Our Common Stock

 

Our stock price is below $5.00 per share and is treated as a “penny stock”, which places restrictions on broker-dealers recommending the stock for purchase.

 

Our common stock is defined as “penny stock” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, and the rules promulgated thereunder. The SEC has adopted regulations that define “penny stock” to include common stock that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules include the following requirements:

 

 

·

broker-dealers must deliver, prior to the transaction a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market;

 

·

broker-dealers must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer and its registered representative;

 

·

broker-dealers must disclose current quotations for the securities;

 

·

if a broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealers presumed control over the market; and

 

·

a broker-dealer must furnish its customers with monthly statements disclosing recent price information for all penny stocks held in the customer’s account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

Additional sales practice requirements are imposed on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. If our common stock remains subject to these penny stock rules these disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our stock, which could affect a shareholder’s ability to sell their shares.

 

The price of our common stock may be affected by a limited trading volume, may fluctuate significantly and may not reflect the actual value of our business.

 

There may be a limited public market for our common stock on the over the counter bulletin board market, and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will continue. An absence of an active trading market could adversely affect our stockholders’ ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or at all. Our common stock has experienced, and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors, such as our sale of securities in connection with capital raising activities, changes in the overall economy and the volatility of the financial markets, could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Thus, the price at which shares of our common stock may trade from time to time may not reflect the actual value of our business or the actual value of our common stock.

 

Our recent equity financing will dilute current stockholders and could prevent the acquisition or sale of our business.

 

The equity financing transactions into which we have recently entered have and will dilute current stockholders. At April 30, 2014, there were 257,331,254 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants that we issued in a private placement in March 2008, in the registered direct offerings conducted in June, August and September 2009, in connection with the sales to Seaside 88, LP in April, May and June 2010 and in the registered direct offerings in February 2012, August 2012, December 2012, June 2013, January 2014 and March 2014. In addition, in connection with the private placements that closed on June 17, 2013 and March 27, 2014, an additional 62,333,333 shares of common stock are issuable upon conversion of the remaining Series E and F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock at April 30, 2014. Together the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the above-mentioned warrants and preferred stock represent approximately 43% of the shares of common stock outstanding at April 30, 2014.   Assuming the holders of the warrants convert and exercise all of the warrants into shares of common stock, the number of shares of issued and outstanding common stock will increase significantly, and current stockholders will own a smaller percentage of the outstanding common stock of Generex. The issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the warrants will also have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and may adversely affect the market price of the common stock.

 

In addition, the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants issued in the March 2008 private placement, the registered direct offerings in June, August and September 2009 and in connection with the sales to Seaside in April, May and June 2010 and the private placements in February 2012, August 2012, December 2012, June 2013, January 2014 and March 2014, could have an anti-takeover effect because such issuance will make it more difficult for, or discourage an attempt by, a party to obtain control of Generex by tender offer or other means. The issuance of common stock upon the exercise of the warrants or conversion of convertible preferred stock will increase the number of shares entitled to vote, increase the number of votes required to approve a change of control of the company, and dilute the interest of a party attempting to obtain control of the company.

 

If we raise funds through one or more additional equity financings in the future, it will have a further dilutive effect on existing holders of our shares by reducing their percentage ownership. The shares may be sold at a time when the market price is low because we are in need of the funds. This will dilute existing holders more than if our stock price was higher. In addition, equity financings normally involve shares sold at a discount to the current market price. Most of our outstanding warrants have price protection provisions, which decrease the exercise price of the warrant and increase the number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of the warrants, if we sell additional equity at an effective price per common share less than the current exercise price of the warrant. Therefore, equity financings at a low price per share will result in even more dilution to existing shareholders.

 

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

 

In the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2014, we sold, or have entered into commitments to issue, common stock and other securities in transactions in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

 

We have issued or committed to issue shares of our common stock to Joseph Moscato, a consultant, pursuant to an agreement to provide us with investor relation services through September 30, 2014.   During the three months ended April 30, 2014, we issued or committed to issue 450,000 shares of common stock to Joseph Moscato pursuant to the consulting agreement. The sale of such shares was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon Section 4(2) thereof. We believe that Joseph Moscato is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act. The certificates issued for the shares of common stock included a legend to indicate that they are restricted. The sales of such securities did not involve the use of underwriters, and no commissions were paid in connection therewith.

 

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

 

Neither Generex nor any affiliated purchaser (as defined in Section 240.10 b-18(a)(3) of the Exchange Act) purchased any of its equity securities during the fiscal quarter ended April 30, 2014.

 

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
