ANGIOGENEX, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY)
MARCH 31, 2009 AND 2008
CONDENSED NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
NOTE 1 ORGANIZATION AND OPERATIONS
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. The 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 March 31, 2009 has had minimal revenues from its planned operations.
NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying 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 and Article 10 of Regulation S-X 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. 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. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Companys audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008 and notes thereto contained in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2009.
Use of estimates
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 Companys 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 Companys financial position and results of operations.
Development Stage Activities
The Company is a development stage company as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7 Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises (SFAS No. 7). Although the Company has recognized some nominal amount of revenue since inception, the Company is still devoting substantially all of its efforts on establishing the business and, therefore, still qualifies as a development stage company. All losses accumulated since inception have been considered as part of the Company development stage activities.
- 7 -
Going Concern
As reflected in the accompanying financial statements, the Company had a deficit accumulated during the development stage at March 31, 2009 and a net loss and cash used in operations for the interim period ended March 31, 2009, with no revenues during the period.
While the Company is attempting to commence operations and generate revenues, the Companys cash position may not be significant enough to support the Companys daily operations. Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to further implement its business plan and generate revenues provide the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern. While the Company believes in the viability of its strategy to increase revenues and in its ability to raise additional funds, there can be no assurances to that effect. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Companys ability to further implement its business plan and generate revenues. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.
Cash equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Property and equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Expenditures for major additions and betterments are capitalized. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. Depreciation of property and equipment is computed by the straight-line method (after taking into account their respective estimated residual values) over the assets estimated useful lives ranging from five (5) years to seven (7) years. Upon sale or retirement of property and equipment, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is reflected in consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Leasehold improvements, if any, are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease period or the estimated useful life, whichever is shorter. Upon becoming fully amortized, the related cost and accumulated amortization are removed from the accounts.
Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company follows Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS No. 144) for its long-lived assets. The Companys long-lived assets, which include property and equipment and software, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by comparing the projected undiscounted net cash flows associated with the related long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets over their remaining estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amounts. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value of those assets. Fair value is generally determined using the assets expected future discounted cash flows or market value, if readily determinable. If long-lived assets are determined to be recoverable, but the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives are shorter than originally estimated, the net book values of the long-lived assets are depreciated over the newly determined remaining estimated useful lives. The Company determined that there were no impairments of long-lived assets as of March 31, 2009 or 2008.
Fair Value Measurement
The Company's financial instruments as defined by SFAS No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments," include cash, prepaid expenses, accounts payable, accrued expenses, accrued interest and other current liabilities. All instruments are accounted for on a historical cost basis, which, due to the short maturity of these financial instruments, approximates fair value at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The Companys notes payable and notes payable related parties approximates the
- 8 -
fair value of such instrument based upon managements best estimate of interest rates that would be available to the Company for similar financial arrangement at March 31, 2009 and 2008.
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.
Revenue recognition
The Company follows the guidance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 Revenue Recognition (SAB No. 101), as amended by SAB No. 104 (SAB No. 104) for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company will derive royalties from the planned license of the biopharmaceutical products current under the development. Royalties will be recognized as revenue when the amounts are contractually earned, fixed and determinable, and there is substantial probability of collection.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
FAS 163 Accounting for Financial Guarantee Insurance Contracts 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 Companys financial position and results of operations is not expected to be material.
FAS 162 The
Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles is effective 60 days
following the SECs 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 Companys financial
position and results of operations is not expected to be material.
- 9 -
FAS 161 Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, 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 entitys 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 Companys financial position or results of operations.
In December 2007, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 110 regarding the use of a "simplified" method, as discussed in SAB No. 107 (SAB 107), in developing an estimate of expected term of "plain vanilla" share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment. In particular, the staff indicated in SAB 107 that it will accept a company's election to use the simplified method, regardless of whether the company has sufficient information to make more refined estimates of expected term. At the time SAB 107 was issued, the staff believed that more detailed external information about employee exercise behavior (e.g., employee exercise patterns by industry and/or other categories of companies) would, over time, become readily available to companies. Therefore, the staff stated in SAB 107 that it would not expect a company to use the simplified method for share option grants after December 31, 2007. The staff understands that such detailed information about employee exercise behavior may not be widely available by December 31, 2007. Accordingly, the staff will continue to accept, under certain circumstances, the use of the simplified method beyond December 31, 2007. The Company currently uses the simplified method for plain vanilla share options and warrants, and will assess the impact of SAB 110 for fiscal year 2009. It is not believed that this will have an impact on the Companys financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
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 by BioCheck, Inc. As of March 31, 2009 no revenues were generated. Prior to its modification the agreement provided certain minimum annual 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 was charged to bad debt in 2008.
NOTE 4 RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
An officer of the Company allows the Company to use space in his offices for records keeping and other business purposes. The Company pays no rent for this space. The management determined that such cost is nominal and did not recognize the rent expense in its financial statements. This same officer also provides services to the Company in the form of bookkeeping and tax preparation, for which the Company is billed. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 the Company owed the officers business $133,935 and $100,842, respectively, which is included in accrued expenses related parties in the financial statements.
At March 31, 2009 the Company owed an officer $95,000 for unpaid salary pursuant to an agreement to pay $5,000 per month through September 30, 2006.

NOTE 8 COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
On August 1, 2001, the Company entered into an agreement with William Garland, PhD. In exchange for his services as the Companys vice president and chief operating officer, he will receive a salary of $5,000 per month. Additionally, he was to receive options to purchase 5,000 shares of the Companys common stock exercisable at $3.00 each per month. The Company granted to Mr. Garland 30,000 options on August 1, 2001 under this agreement. Subsequently, the Company and Mr. Garland amended this agreement eliminating the monthly options but the Company has continued to pay $5,000 plus expense reimbursements and has also granted to Mr. Garland 440,000 options under the 2001 stock option plan. The agreement was terminated September 30, 2006. However Mr. Garland is still providing services to the Company.
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 claiming approximately $200,000 in unpaid invoices. AngioGenex response included counter-claims for CompBios 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 March 31, 2009 the Company has made $17,500 payments to CompBio pursuant to the settlement agreement, and had accrued interest of $2,874. The Company has not made the required payment for the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009, and is in default of this settlement agreement. Under
- 12 -
the terms of the agreement upon receipt of written notification of default from CompBio the Company has five days to cure. Failure by the Company to cure the default results in an increase in the settlement amount to $75,000 plus retroactive interest of 5% on the balance. The Company has not received any notification of default from CompBio.

Company Overview
AngioGenex is a development 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 colleagues 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 patents pending for 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 proprietary molecules that we generated as a result of in-house screening and out-sourced contract research. These organic molecules, particularly AGx8 and AGx51 appear to inhibit the Id related process responsible for the formation of new blood vessels and consequent tumor growth, as well as inhibiting metastases, or the spread of the disease. We also own substantial intellectual property in the form of know-how and trade secrets related in the Id field that resulted from our own efforts and other out-sourced research. We have filed for patent protection covering these molecules out of which we identified AGx8 and AGx51 as pre-clinical lead drug candidates. Subsequent tests have shown them to inhibit the establishment of tumors and their spread. These results have been published in peer reviewed scientific journals and presented at major conferences.
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.
- 14 -
We have sub-licensed our rights to develop Id-based prognostics and diagnostics to BioCheck, Inc. (sub-license), 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. We have filed patent applications covering these antibodies. Under the terms of the BioCheck agreement, we own the rights to any therapeutic applications, while BioCheck retains the diagnostic rights, subject to our right to royalties and milestones.
Since the formation 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 the 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 clinical 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 first quarter of 2009. 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 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 our 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 gross proceeds of $6,500. In June 2008 we sold 150,000 shares of common stock at $0.333 per share with net proceeds of $50,000. In September 2008 we sold 30,000 shares of common stock at $0.333 per share with net proceeds of $10,000. These private placements were exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. In October 2008, 50,000 shares were issued in exchange for reduction of note payable from related party of $12,500.
As of March 31, 2009, we had $260 in cash as compared to $3,493 in cash at December 31, 2008. We do not have any available lines of credit.
- 15 -
Net cash used in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $23,233 resulting in a net loss of $59,133 after taking into account significant non-cash charges for operating expenses during the quarter 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 March 31, 2009, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by $646,474. 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; |
|
through bridge financing from third parties, existing shareholders, and insiders; |
|
through future private placement financing. |
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 for at least the next six months. 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 third quarter of 2009. We will need to raise additional capital during the third quarter of 2009 in order to fund our plan of operation through 2009. 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 third quarter of 2009, 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 third quarter of 2009 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-K. Our critical accounting policies are:
Revenue recognition : The Company follows the guidance of the United States Securities and Exchange Commissions Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 Revenue Recognition (SAB No. 101), as amended by SAB No. 104 (SAB No. 104) for revenue recognition. The Company recognizes revenue when it is realized or realizable and earned less estimated future doubtful accounts. The Company considers revenue realized or realizable and earned when all of the following criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the product has
- 16 -
been shipped or the services have been rendered to the customer, (iii) the sales price is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured. The Company will derive royalties from the planned license of the biopharmaceutical products current under the development. 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.
Use of estimates. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires 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.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not required
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, 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 March 31, 2009. 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, 2008, relating to fundamental elements of an effective control environment described in the 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2009. 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. There were no such change in our internal control over financial reporting because of the timing of the filing of Form 10-K in relation to the filing of the Form 10-Q, there was insufficient time for us to implement any material changes in internal control over financial reporting.
