ANGIOGENEX,
INC
(A
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
CONDENSED
NOTED TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30,2008
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE
1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
AngioGenex,
Inc. (“AngioGenex” or the “Company”) incorporated in the State of Nevada on
March 1, 1999. The Company is a biopharmaceutical company founded to create
products that are uniquely useful for the treatment, diagnosis and prognosis
of
cancer. Company programs focus on (1) the discovery and development of orally
active anti-cancer drugs that act by modulating the action of the Id proteins,
(2) the measurement of Id proteins in tumors and blood to create products for
the diagnosis and prognosis of cancer, (3) generating proof-of-concept data
in
relevant preclinical models to establish that modulation of Id proteins is
useful to treat non-oncologic diseases in which an overgrowth of blood vessels
is an important part of the underling pathology and (4) collaborating in respect
to treatments of diseases in which blood vessel proliferation is desirable.
The
Company has been in the development stage since inception and as of June 30,
2008 has had minimal revenues from its planned operations.
The
foregoing unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-B as
promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly,
these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for
complete financial statements. These unaudited interim financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements
for the year ended December 31, 2007, included in the Company’s Form 10 KSB
filing. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements
furnished herein include all adjustments, all of which are of a normal recurring
nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period
presented. Operating results for the six month period ended June 30, 2008 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full
year.
The
preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in the United States of America requires the use of
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities known to exist
as
of the date the financial statements are published, and the reported amounts
of
revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Uncertainties with respect
to
such estimates and assumptions are inherent in the preparation of the Company’s
financial statements; accordingly, it is possible that the actual results could
differ from these estimates and assumptions and could have a material effect
on
the reported amounts of the Company’s financial position and results of
operations.
NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Going
Concern
The
accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company
will continue as a going concern.
As
shown
in the accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred substantial
net losses since inception. The future of the Company is dependent upon
additional financing and revenue to fund its research and development activities
and to support operations. However, there is no assurance that the Company
will
be able to obtain additional financing. Furthermore, there is no assurance
that
the Food and Drug Administration will grant future approval of the Company’s
prospective products or that profitable operations can be attained as a result
thereof.

ANGIOGENEX,
INC
(A
DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
CONDENSED
NOTED TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS JUNE 30,2008
(UNAUDITED)
The
Company anticipates that its principal source of funds for the next year will
be
the issuance for cash of additional equity instruments. The financial statements
do not include any recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or
the
amounts and classification of liabilities that might be necessary in the event
the Company cannot continue in existence. Management plans to seek additional
capital from new equity securities issuances that will provide funds needed
to
increase liquidity, fund internal growth and fully implement its business plan.
The Company anticipates that its minimum cash requirements to continue as a
going concern for the next twelve months will be at least $70,000.
Development
Stage Activities
The
Company is currently and has been a development stage company since its
formation on March 31, 1999. It is primarily engaged in the research to develop
anti-cancer strategies using the field of antiangiogenesis. In 2003, the Company
entered into an agreement to provide certain properties to an unrelated outside
company. The Company recognized $50,000 of royalty revenue under this agreement
for the year ended December 31, 2007, however the Company does not deem this
revenue sufficient to move the Company from development stage to a fully
reporting company. See Note 3.
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
FAS
163
is effective January 1, 2009 except for disclosures about the risk-management
activities of the insurance enterprise be effective for the first period
(including interim periods) beginning after issuance of this Statement. Except
for those disclosures, earlier application is not permitted. FAS 163 requires
that an insurance enterprise recognize a claim liability prior to an event
of
default (insured event) when there is evidence that credit deterioration has
occurred in an insured financial obligation. FAS 163 also clarifies how
Statement 60 applies to financial guarantee insurance contracts, including
the
recognition and measurement to be used to account for premium revenue and claim
liabilities. The effect of adoption of FAS 163 on the Company’s financial
position and results of operations is not expected to be material.
FAS
162
is effective 60 days following the SEC’s approval of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board amendments to AU Section 411, The
Meaning of
Present
Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. FAS 162
identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting
the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of
nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles in the United States. The effect of adoption
of
FAS 162 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations is not
expected to be material.
FAS
161,
which is effective January 1, 2009 requires enhanced disclosures about
derivative instruments and hedging activities to allow for a better
understanding of their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial
performance, and cash flows. Among other things, FAS 161 requires disclosure
of
the fair values of derivative instruments and associated gains and losses in
a
tabular format. The adoption of FAS 161 will not affect the Company’s financial
position or results of operations.
FAS
159,
which is effective January 1, 2008, permits companies to choose to measure
certain financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized
gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected
are
reported in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The effect of adoption
of FAS 159 on the Company’s financial position and results of operations is not
expected to be material.
EITF
Issue 07-03, which is effective January 1, 2008 and is applied prospectively
for
new contracts entered into on or after the effective date, addresses
nonrefundable advance payments for goods and services that will be used or
rendered for future research and development activities. Issue 07-3 will require
these payments to be deferred and capitalized and recognized as an expense
as
the related goods are delivered or the related services are preformed. The
effect of adoption of Issue 07-3 on the Company’s financial position and results
of operations is not expected to be material.

contingent consideration as well as contingent assets and liabilities be
recorded at fair value at the acquisition date, that acquired in-process
research and development be capitalized and recorded as intangible assets at
the
acquisition date, and also requires transaction costs and costs to restructure
the acquired company be expensed. FAS 160 requires, among other things, that
noncontrolling interests be recorded as equity in the consolidated financial
statements. FAS 141R and FAS 160 are both effective January 1, 2009. The effect
of adoption of FAS 141R and FAS 160 on the Company’s financial position and
results of operations is not expected to be material.

Royalties
will be recognized as revenue when the amounts are contractually earned, fixed
and determinable, and there is substantial probability of collection.
NOTE
3 - AGREEMENT WITH BIOCHECK, INC.
On
December 15, 2003 the Company entered into a development and marketing agreement
with BioCheck Inc. for the development and marketing of diagnostic, prognostic,
or bio-analytical products. The agreement was modified as of July 21, 2008.
Under the agreement, the Company will receive license fees equal to 9% of the
gross revenue of the direct sale by BioCheck, Inc. of any products and 25%
of
any sublicensing revenue received from BioCheck, Inc. As of June 30, 2008 no
revenues were generated. Prior to its modification the agreement provided for
certain minimum royalty to be paid to the Company. The provision for minimum
royalty payments has been eliminated. Therefore the receivable of $50,000 that
was recognized has been charged to bad debt as of June 30, 2008.

6 - FAIR VALUE
In
September 2006, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 157, "Fair Value
Measurements" ("SFAS 157"). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework
for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and
expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The provisions of SFAS 157
were adopted January 1, 2008.
SFAS
157
establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation
techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority
to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or
liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable
inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy
under SFAS 157 are described below:
Level
1 -
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the
measurement date for identical unrestricted assets or liabilities.
Level
2 -
Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable,
either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset
or
liability.
Level
3 -
Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant
to
fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market
activity).
The
Company's cash instruments are classified within Level 1 of the fair value
hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. The cash
instruments that are valued based on quoted market prices in active markets
are
primarily money market securities.

In
July
2006, Comparative Biosciences Inc. (“CompBio”) , a company that AngioGenex hired
to breed and house a colony of its proprietary “ID-Knockout” mice, sued the
Company in state of court in California claiming approximately $200,000 in
unpaid invoices. AngioGenex removed the case to federal court. AngioGenex’s
response included counter-claims for CompBio’s breaches of contract, as well as
a number of business torts. On November 6, 2007 the parties agreed to a
disposition of the suit under a stipulated judgment and settlement agreement
pursuant to which: CompBio must return the laboratory mice and all scientific
data from the research, CompBio agrees to forego all intellectual property
rights in the mice and in the research, that it acknowledges belong to
AngioGenex, and AngioGenex agreed to pay the CompBio $55,000 in installments
over a 5-year period, plus accumulated interest at 5% per annum. The stipulated
judgment and settlement agreement was filed with the court by November 15.
At
June 30, 2008 the Company has made $15,000 payments to CompBio pursuant to
the
settlement agreement, and had accrued interest of $1434.

1.
Company
Overview
AngioGenex
is an early stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery and development
of compounds useful for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. Our proprietary
technology is based on the research work of Dr. Robert Benezra and his collegues
at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, who established the role of the
Id
(inhibition of differentiation) genes and corresponding Id proteins in the
formation of new blood vessels (angiogenesis) required for tumor growth and
metastasis. This intellectual property includes the exclusive worldwide rights
to certain patent pending Id based anti-angiogenesis anti-cancer biotechnology
that we acquired in 2000 from the Sloan Kettering Institute for Cancer Research
and subsequently from sponsored research. In addition, our intellectual property
includes molecules that were generated as a result of in-house screening and
out-sourced contract research concerning organic molecules that appear to
inhibit the Id related process responsible for the formation of new blood
vessels and consequent tumor growth, as well as other “know-how” and trade
secrets which resulted from other out-sourced research.
Our
therapeutic focus is on the identification and development of orally active
molecules capable of inhibiting Id activity and preventing the formation of
blood vessels that support the growth of cancerous tumors. In addition, we
have
sponsored other research on the modulation of Id genes and proteins that may
be
useful in the treatment of non-oncological diseases, such as age related macular
degeneration and diabetic retinopathy, in which a surplus in the growth of
blood
vessels is an important part of the underlying pathology of such
diseases.
We
have
out-licensed our rights to develop Id-based prognostics and diagnostics to
BioCheck, Inc., a
leading
producer of clinical diagnostic assays.
In June
2004 we signed a Development and Marketing Agreement with BioCheck under which
we assigned BioCheck the exclusive rights to develop and market cancer
prognostic and diagnostics in return for royalties and milestone payments.
Pursuant to this sub-license BioCheck has been developing monoclonal antibodies
for all four Id proteins (Id1, Id2, Id3, and Id4) for use in standard
enzyme
linked immunoassay
or ELISA
type assay tests and for kits for the detection of the proteins in tumors and
other tissues. The sale of monoclonal antibodies to the Id proteins by BioCheck
has begun to generate revenue for BioCheck.
10
Since
commencement of operations in 1999, our efforts have been principally devoted
to
in-licensing our intellectual property, research and development activities,
entering into collaborative agreements, recruiting management personnel and
advisors, and raising capital. Our current business strategy is to concentrate
our financial resources primarily on the further development of our proprietary
potential anti-cancer lead drug compounds.
Product
Research and Development Plans
Our
current plan of operation for the next 12 months primarily involves out-sourced
contract research and development activities on the design of more potent and
efficient Id protein inhibitors based on two organic molecules which have
exhibited anti-Id protein properties. Given sufficient capital resources, we
plan to continue to test these organic molecules in established animal tumor
models for their ability to block blood vessel formation and inhibit tumor
growth. This testing as well as further refinement of the structure of active
molecules is expected to result in the identification of a lead therapeutic
drug
compound. The lead compound would then be subjected to further testing in
animals to obtain preliminary knowledge of its properties including safety.
After the receiving promising preliminary data on the lead compound, it would
be
subjected to the more stringent tests required to complete the FDA requirements
for an IND (Investigational New Drug Application). Such additional research
and
testing necessary for an IND application will require significant capital
expenditures of approximately $1.5 million and will only be possible if we
raise
additional capital through equity financings.
We
intend
to contract out substantially all of the research and development work on our
potential anti-cancer lead drug compounds. No employees were hired in the second
quarter of 2008. We do not expect to hire employees during the next twelve
months unless we raise substantial additional capital in the range of $5
million.
Our
actual research and development and related activities may vary significantly
from current plans depending on numerous factors, including changes in the
costs
of such activities from current estimates, the results of our research and
development programs, technological advances, determinations as to commercial
viability and the status of competitive products. The focus and direction of
our
operations will also be dependent on the establishment of our collaborative
arrangements with other companies, the availability of financing and other
factors. We expect our development costs to increase as any
future lead anti-cancer drug compound or compounds enter the later stages of
development.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Since
inception, we have financed our operations through the private placement of
equity and debt securities, as well as loans from certain of our officers and
directors. In February 2008 we sold 19,500 shares in a private placement for
net
proceeds of $5,850. As of June 30, 2008, we had $10,322 in cash as compared
to
$45,406 in cash at December 31, 2007. In June 2008 we sold 150,000 shares of
common stock at $0.333 per share with net proceeds of $50,000. We do not have
any available lines of credit.
Net
cash used
in operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $90,934
resulting in a net loss of $200,867, after taking into account significant
non-cash charges for operating expenses during the six month period and other
adjustments. We pay no rent to Martin Murray, a director and our Chief Financial
Officer, Secretary and Treasurer, for the use of office space for file keeping
and other business purposes.
As
of
June 30, 2008, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $521,273.
We anticipate that our minimum cash requirements to continue as a going concern
for the next twelve months will be at least $70,000.
We
plan
to finance our needs principally from the following:
·
|
our
existing capital resources and interest earned on that
capital;
|
·
|
royalty
income, if any, from licensed product sales by BioCheck,
Inc.;
|
·
|
through
future private placement
financing.
|
11
As
mentioned above, we may generate revenue from BioCheck from royalties on sales
of licensed products or from minimum annual royalty payments under our license
agreement. The sale of monoclonal antibodies to the Id proteins by BioCheck
has
begun to generate revenue, upon which we will receive royalty payments. As
of
December 31, 2007 we recognized royalty revenue and recorded a receivable of
$50,000 based on the minimum annual royalty that BioCheck was obligated to
pay
us during the twelve months ending in the second quarter of 2008. We had agreed
to an alternative arrangement with BioCheck by which it has met its minimum
annual royalty payment obligation for the twelve months ending in the second
quarter of 2008 by providing proprietary antibodies to contract research
organizations at which we are undertaking ongoing research as well as to Dr.
Robert Benezra’s lab at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for research
related to our intellectual property. Pursuant to an amendment to the
Development and Marketing Agreement with BioCheck, BioCheck is no longer
required to make annual minimum royalty payments in the amount of $50,000.
This
amendment also applies retroactively to the 2007 and 2008 annual minimum royalty
payments as well. Therefore the Company charged $50,000 t bad debt expenses
for
revenue recognized previously under this agreement, We cannot at this time
assure you that additional revenues will be generated in fiscal year 2008,
if at
all.
The
current rate of our cash usage raises substantial doubt about our ability to
continue as a going concern, absent any new sources of significant cash flows.
We believe that we have sufficient capital resources to finance our plan of
operation into the fourth quarter of 2008. However, this is a forward-looking
statement, and there may be changes that could consume available resources
before such time. Our long term capital requirements and the adequacy of our
available funds will depend on many factors, including the eventual reporting
company costs, public relations fees, patent costs for filing, prosecuting,
maintaining and defending our patent rights, among others.
We
do not
currently have sufficient capital resources to finance our plan of operation
through the fourth quarter of 2008. We will need to raise additional capital
during the third quarter of 2008 in order to fund our plan of operation through
2008. Our long term capital requirements and the adequacy of our available
funds
will depend on many factors, including our reporting company costs, patent
costs
for filing, prosecuting, maintaining and defending our patent rights, among
others.
We
will
need to raise substantial additional capital through equity or debt financings
or generate additional revenue to complete our development of lead anti-cancer
drug compounds. We cannot assure you that we will generate sufficient additional
capital or revenues, if any, to fund our operations through the fourth quarter
of 2008, that any future equity financings will be successful, or that other
potential financings through equity offerings, or otherwise, will be available
on acceptable terms or at all. Having insufficient funds may require us to
delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our development programs,
relinquish some or even all rights to product candidates at an earlier stage
of
development, or renegotiate less favorable terms that we would otherwise. If
we
are unable to raise additional capital through the fourth quarter of 2008 we
may
have to further curtail or cease operations.
Critical
Accounting Policies and Estimates.
This
discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations
are
based on our financial statements that have been prepared under accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation
of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires our management to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date
of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses
during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those
estimates. We have disclosed all significant accounting policies in note 2
to
the financial statements included in our Form 10-KSB. Our critical accounting
policies are:
Revenue
recognition:
Royalties will be recognized as revenue when the amounts are contractually
earned, fixed and determinable, and there is substantial probability of
collection.
Research,
development costs: Research
and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Evaluation
of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
In
connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-QSB, an
evaluation was carried out by our management, with the participation of our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of
our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of
June 30, 2008. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the
Exchange Act is recorded, summarized, and reported within the time periods
specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and
communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief
Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Based on that evaluation, and in light of the previously identified material
weakness in internal control over financial reporting, as of December 31, 2007,
relating to fundamental elements of an effective control environment described
in the 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-KSB, our principal executive officer and
our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls
and
procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2008. There has been no change
in
our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most
recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely
to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
