NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1. Organization, Use of Estimates and Basis of Presentation

Champions Oncology, Inc. or the Company, is engaged in the development of advanced technology solutions and products to personalize the development and use of oncology drugs. The Company’s TumorGraft Technology Platform is a novel approach to personalizing cancer care, based upon the implantation of human tumors in immune-deficient mice. The Company uses this technology, in conjunction with related services, to offer solutions for two customer groups:

	⋅	Our Personalized Oncology Solutions, or POS, business, which provides services to physicians and patients looking for information to help guide the development of personalized treatment plans.
	⋅	Our Translational Oncology Solutions, or TOS, business, which provides services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies seeking personalized approaches to drug development that will lower costs and increase the speed of developing new drugs, as well as increase the adoption of existing drugs.

The Company has three operating subsidiaries: Champions Oncology (Israel), Limited, Champions Biotechnology U.K., Limited and Champions Oncology Singapore, PTE LTD. To date, there have been no material revenues earned by these subsidiaries.

The financial statements of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries, all of which have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, have been translated into the U.S. dollar for the Company’s consolidated financial statements for each period being presented. Translation gains and losses are recognized as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Transaction gains and losses are recognized in earnings in other (expense) income. The Company is subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuations in connection with the Company’s international operations.

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the SEC. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated. All figures are presented in thousands of U.S. dollars, except share data, or except where expressly stated otherwise. Certain information related to the Company’s organization, significant accounting policies and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or GAAP has been condensed or omitted. The accounting policies followed in the preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended April 30, 2013, as filed on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments necessary to fairly state our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented and the presentations and disclosures herein are adequate when read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended April 30, 2013.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Basic loss per share is calculated by dividing loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares (including redeemable common stock) outstanding for the year. Diluted loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares (including redeemable common stock) outstanding for the year, plus the dilutive effect of common stock purchase warrants, stock options and restricted stock units using the treasury stock method. Contingently issuable shares are included in the calculation of basic earnings per share when all contingencies surrounding the issuance of the shares are met and the shares are issued or issuable. Contingently issuable shares are included in the calculation of dilutive earnings per share as of the beginning of the reporting period if, at the end of the reporting period, all contingencies surrounding the issuance of the shares are satisfied or would be satisfied if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. Due to the net losses for the three and six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, basic and diluted loss per share were the same, as the effect of potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Included in the balances outstanding in the table above are 10,000,000 options granted to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and its President at the time of commencement of their employment in fiscal 2011, of which 5,000,000 contain only service-based vesting provisions and 5,000,000 contain both service and performance-based vesting provisions. The service-based provisions of these options provide for vesting to occur monthly over a period of three years. The performance-based conditions, which had to be met prior to vesting to occur included: (i) closing of one or more financings of the Company in the aggregate amount of at least $5,000,000; (ii) bringing in new Company management; (iii) launching of personalized medicine (oncology) business; and (iv) commencing implementation of the Company’s business plan. The service-based options, like all of the Company’s service-based options, are expensed on a straight-line basis. Since the straight-line method is not available for performance or market-based share-based payments, the 5,000,000 performance-based options are being expensed on an accelerated basis. The Company’s Board of Directors determined that in April 2011 each of the performance conditions under the awards were met.

Subsequent to October 31, 2013, but prior to the issuance of this Form 10Q, the company granted approximately 6.4 million stock options to certain employees at a weighted average exercise price of $1.23.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

Note 4. Redeemable Common Stock and Stock Purchase Warrants

On January 28, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several accredited investors for the sale of an aggregate 18,600,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.50 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $9.3 million (net proceeds of $9.1 million due to issuance costs), $0.5 million of which was sold to officers and directors of the Company. This private placement transaction closed on January 28, 2013. As part of this transaction, the Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate 1,860,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.66 per share. These warrants expire five years after the closing date. The Company also entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement on January 28, 2013 that provided certain registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. Furthermore, certain investors will have the right to require the Company to redeem the purchased common shares held by all of the investors for cash of $0.50 per share upon a change of control or sale or exclusive license of substantially all of the Company’s assets. This put option will terminate upon the achievement of certain financial milestones by the Company, the sale of 25% of the common shares purchased by an investor, with respect only to the shares owned by such investor, or in certain other circumstances as outlined in the Securities Purchase Agreement. The January 2013 Private Placement investors also have certain participation rights with respect to future financings of the Company. The terms of the January 2013 Private Placement resulted in the issuance of an additional 1,064,658 common shares to the investors of the April 2011 Private Placement under the anti-dilution protections granted such investors, which are discussed below.

On March 24, 2011, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several accredited investors for the sale of an aggregate 12,533,333 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.75 per share, for aggregate proceeds of $9.4 million, $0.5 million of which was sold to officers and directors of the Company. This private placement transaction closed April 4, 2011 . As part of this transaction, the Company also issued warrants to purchase an aggregate 1,266,667 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.90 per share. These warrants expire five years after the closing date. The Securities Purchase Agreement governing the April 2011 Private Placement contains certain anti-dilution protections for the investors. The Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement referenced above provides certain registration rights with respect to the shares of Common Stock issued and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants. Furthermore, certain investors have the right to require the Company to redeem the purchased common shares held by all of the investors for cash for $0.75 per share upon a change of control or sale or exclusive license of substantially all of the Company’s assets. This put option will terminate upon the achievement of certain financial milestones by the Company, the sale of 25% of the common shares purchased by an investor, with respect only to the shares owned by such investor, or in certain other circumstances as outlined in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Due to the April 2011 and the January 2013 put option described above, the Company has accounted for the Common Stock for the April 2011 Private Placement and January 2013 Private Placement as temporary equity, which is reflected under the caption “redeemable common stock” on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The total amount allocated to the redeemable common stock was $8.8 million for the January 2013 Private Placement and $8.2 million for the April 2011 Private Placement. For the January 2013 Private Placement, this allocation is equal to the total proceeds of $9.3 million less the amount allocated to the warrants of $0.4 million and is also net of the direct and incremental costs associated with the January 2013 Private Placement of $0.2 million. For the April 2011 Private Placement, this allocation is equal to the total proceeds of $9.4 million, less the amount allocated to the warrants of $0.9 million and is also net of direct and incremental costs associated with the April 2011 Private Placement of $0.3 million.

The warrants issued in connection with both the April 2011 Private Placement and January 2013 Private Placement contain certain exercise price antildilution provisions. Under these provisions, the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted downward should the Company have future sales of its Common Stock for no consideration or for a consideration per share less than the Per Share Price (as such term is defined in the April 2011 Private Placement Securities Purchase Agreement and January 2013 Private Placement Securities Purchase Agreement). These exercise price antidilution provisions resulted in a downward adjustment to the exercise price of the warrants issued in the April 2011 Private Placement from $0.90 to $0.50.

The Company has accounted for the warrants issued in connection with the April 2011 Private Placement and January 2013 Private Placement as a liability based on the exercise price reset provisions described above. This liability, which is recorded at fair value on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, totaled $0.8 million at the time of the close of the January 2013 Private Placement Agreement. As of October 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013, the fair value of these warrants was $3.09 million and $1.05 million, respectively. The change in fair value of these warrants has been, and will be, recognized as other income (expense) on the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of these warrants was calculated by the Monte Carlo simulation valuation method. Assumptions used to calculate the fair value of these warrants were as follows:

	9

CHAMPIONS ONCOLOGY, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

	October 31,	April 30,
	2013	2013

Expected term in years	2.4 & 4.2	2.9 & 4.7
Risk-free interest rates	0.5% & 1.1%	0.3%
Volatility	91% & 107%	95% & 98%
Dividend yield	0%	0%

In addition to the assumptions above, the Company also takes into consideration whether or not the Company would participate in another round of financing and if that financing is registered or not and what that stock price would be for the financing at that time. The Company will continue to adjust the warrant liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise of the warrants, at which time the liability will be reclassified to stockholders' equity, or expiration of the warrants.

The Company has granted demand registration rights in connection with the investment in common shares and the common shares underlying the warrants for both the April 2011 Private Placement and January 2013 Private Placement. These rights include the requirement of the Company to file certain registration statements within a specified time period and to have these registration statements declared effective within a specified time period. If the Company is not able to comply with these registration requirements, the Company will be required to pay cash penalties equal to 1.0% of the aggregate Purchase Price paid by the investors for each 30-day period in which a Registration Default, as defined in the Amended Restated Registration Rights Agreement, exists. These penalties are subject to a 10% limit of the aggregate purchase price paid by the investors. The Company may become subject to these penalty provisions if it fails to have a registration statement for the common shares declared effective, or to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement. The total amount of potential penalties under this registration payment arrangement ranges from $50,000 to $130,000 for each 30-day period in which a registration default exists; however, as of October 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013, and through the date of this filing, the Company does not believe these penalties to be probable and accordingly, has not established an accrual for such registration payment arrangements.

Legal Matters

The Company is not currently party to any material legal matters to its knowledge. The Company is not aware of any other matters that would have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Registration Payment Arrangements

The Company has entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement in connection with the April 2011 Private Placement and January 2013 Private Placement and is discussed more fully in Note 4. This Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement contains provisions that may call for the Company to pay penalties in certain circumstances. This registration payment arrangement primarily relates to the Company’s ability to file a registration statement within a particular time period, have a registration statement declared effective within a particular time period and to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement for a particular time period. The Company does not believe it is probable that penalty payments will be made for the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement discussed in Note 4 and, accordingly, has not accrued for such potential penalties as of October 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013.

Note 7. Licensing Agreements

In February 2010, the Company entered into an exclusive option agreement with a Canadian company. The option agreement granted the Company the exclusive right to review Irinophore C, a nanoparticle drug compound, for the treatment of various forms of cancer, including melanoma, prostate, breast, and lung cancer through April 2011. During the option year, the Company performed various TumorGraft tests on the nanoparticle compound. In March 2011, the Company exercised its option to license Irinophore C, a liposomal formulation of Irinotecan. On the first anniversary of the agreement (March 2012), an additional license fee of $45,000 (Canadian) became due, which was recognized as a liability as of April 30, 2012 and was satisfied during the year ended April 30, 2013. Commencing with the second anniversary of the agreement (March 2013), the Company is obligated to pay a minimum annual royalty of $10,000 (Canadian), unless the agreement were terminated by either party in advance of the anniversary date. Under the terms of the license agreement, the Company will be required to pay up to $3.0 million in development milestones, if achieved. The Company does not believe development milestones will be achieved within the next 12 months. Upon commercialization, the Company would also be required to make royalty and sales milestone payments based upon revenues. As of April 30, 2013 the Company had accrued for the March 2013 annual royalty payment of $10,000 (Canadian) and was satisfied during the quarter ended July 31, 2013.

Note 8. Cephalon and Teva Agreement

On March 16, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Cephalon, Inc., or Cephalon,, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., or Teva, pursuant to which the Company agreed to conduct TumorGraft studies on two proprietary chemical compounds provided by Cephalon to determine the activity or response of these compounds in potential clinical indications. Under certain conditions, Cephalon reserved the right to exercise and pay a one-time fee of in lieu of the milestone or royalty payments, which are $460,000 for one compound and $880,000 for the other compound.

CHAMPIONS ONCOLOGY, INC.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – (Continued)

On November 30, 2012, Cephalon exercised the option to pay this one-time fee of $880,000 to the Company, in lieu of any future milestone or royalty payments, for one compound tested under the agreement described above. Written notice was provided to the Company on December 3, 2012 and payment was received on December 19, 2012. This fee has been recognized as revenue during the third quarter of fiscal 2013.

During fiscal 2013, the agreement with Cephalon was amended to perform additional services for an increased fee of $277,000. As models, along with required reports, are delivered, revenue is recognized on a performance basis in accordance with the Company’s revenue recognition policies. Revenues of $133,000 and $237,000 were recognized during the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which are independent of the $880,000 noted above.

On July 30, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Teva pursuant to which the Company agreed to conduct TumorGraft studies on multiple proprietary chemical compounds provided by Teva to determine the activity or response of these compounds in potential clinical indications. Under the agreement, Teva agreed to, pay an upfront payment and, under certain conditions, pay the Company various amounts upon achieving certain milestones, based on the performance of the compounds in preclinical testing and dependent upon testing the compound in clinical settings and obtaining FDA approval. In addition, Teva agrees to pay the Company royalties on any commercialized products developed under the agreement. This agreement terminates the collaborative agreement noted above between Cephalon and the Company.

Note 9. Fair Value

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, deposits and other receivables, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate their fair value based on the liquidity or the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value hierarchy promulgated by GAAP consists of three levels:

· Level one — Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

· Level two — Inputs other than level one inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

· Level three — Unobservable inputs developed using estimates and assumptions, which are developed by the reporting entity and reflect those assumptions that a market participant would use.

Determining which category an asset or liability falls within the hierarchy requires significant judgment. The Company evaluates its hierarchy disclosures each quarter. The Company has one liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis, which are warrants that were issued in connection with private placements of the Company’s securities that are discussed more fully in Note 4. As of October 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013, these warrants had an estimated fair value of $3,094,000 and $1,046,000, respectively, which was calculated by the Monte Carlo simulation valuation method using level three inputs. The Company has no assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis and there were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of October 31, 2013 and April 30, 2013 or during the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012.

The following table presents information about our warrant liability, which was our only financial instrument measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of October 31, 2013 (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion of our historical results of operations and our liquidity and capital resources should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes that appear elsewhere in this report and our most recent annual report for the year ended April 30, 2013, as filed on Form 10-K.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, contains certain “forward-looking statements,” which include information relating to future events, future financial performance, strategies, expectations, competitive environment, regulation, and availability of resources. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements regarding: proposed new programs; expectations that regulatory developments or other matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, or liquidity; statements concerning projections, predictions, expectations, estimates, or forecasts as to our business, financial and operational results, and future economic performance; and statements of management’s goals and objectives and other similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. Words such as “may,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “future,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates” and similar expressions, as well as statements in future tense, identify forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of the times at, or by, which such performance or results will be achieved. Forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time those statements are made or management’s good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in or suggested by the forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made. Factors that could cause actual results to differ from those discussed in the forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, those described in “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2013, as updated in our subsequent reports filed with the SEC, including any updates found in Part II, Item 1A of this or other reports on Form 10-Q. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions, or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information, except to the extent required by applicable securities laws. If we do update one or more forward-looking statements, no inference should be drawn that we will make additional updates with respect to those or other forward-looking statements.

Overview and Recent Developments

Champions Oncology, Inc. is engaged in the development and sale of advanced technology solutions to personalize the development and use of oncology drugs. The Company’s TumorGraft Technology Platform is a novel approach to personalizing cancer care, based upon the implantation of human tumors in immune-deficient mice. The Company uses this technology, in conjunction with related products, to offer solutions for two customer groups:

	·	Our Personalized Oncology Solutions, or POS, business, which provides services to physicians and patients looking for information to help guide the development of personalized treatment plans.

	·	Our Translational Oncology Solutions, or TOS, business, which provides services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies seeking personalized approaches to drug development that will lower costs and increase the speed of developing new drugs, as well as increase the adoption of existing drugs.

We plan to continue our efforts to expand our TumorGraft Technology Platform in order to expand our POS and TOS programs. In fiscal 2012, we modified our POS business strategy to focus on growing our core technology products, which includes TumorGraft implants and drug studies. As part of this strategy, which we continued to execute during fiscal 2013 and into fiscal 2014, we lowered our prices for these products to increase the number of patients to whom we sell these products and increase the number of tumors in our TumorBank. We will continue to offer related personalized oncology products, such as the personalized tumor panels and gene sequencing, to our customers; however, we expect future POS revenues to be driven by our core products.

	15

During the second half of fiscal 2012, we transitioned the laboratory activities that support the POS and TOS businesses from a clinical research organization to a facility in Baltimore, Maryland that we rent, and at which our personnel conduct the POS and TOS operations. We believe that having our own personnel perform these activities reduces the cost of providing our products and allows us to maintain a more competitive pricing strategy. To facilitate this strategy and support the increase in POS implants and drug study volume that resulted from our POS pricing restructuring strategy, we invested in our information technology and other infrastructure and increased our laboratory staff. We are evaluating options to increase our laboratory capacity to meet our expected increases demand in the future.

On March 16, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement with Cephalon, Inc., or Cephalon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd., or Teva, pursuant to which the Company agreed to conduct TumorGraft studies on two proprietary chemical compounds provided by Cephalon to determine the activity or response of these compounds in potential clinical indications. Under certain conditions, Cephalon reserved the right to exercise and pay a one-time fee of in lieu of the milestone or royalty payments, which are $460,000 for one compound and $880,000 for the second compound.

On January 28, 2013, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with several accredited investors for the sale of an aggregate 18,600,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price of $0.50 per share, as well as issued warrants to purchase 1,860,000 additional shares of Common Stock, for aggregate proceeds of $9.3 million. This private placement transaction is discussed in further detail below in the “liquidity and capital resources” section.

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues were $2.4 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an increase of $0.9 million or 63.4%. Operating revenues were $5.4 million and $3.6 million for the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an increase of $1.8 million or 51.6%.

POS revenues were $0.62 million and $0.45 million for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an increase of $0.17 million, or 35.7%. This increase over the three month period comes from an increase in sales in our core products TumorGrafts (implants) and drug studies. POS revenues were $1.2 million and $1.4 million for the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, a decrease of $0.2 million, or (9.6)%. The decrease over the six month period is due to the decrease in our non-core products and services of personalized tumor panels and gene sequencing offset by an increase in our core products and services. This is in line with the company strategy to focus on our core products and services.

	17

TOS revenues were $1.8 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an increase of $0.8 million, or 76.2%. TOS revenues were $4.2 and $2.2 million for the six month ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, an increase of $2.0 million. These increases are due to the increase in sales to our historical customer base and the increase in new customers.

Cost of Personalized Oncology Solutions

Cost of POS for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 was $0.7 million and $0.6 million, respectively, an increase of $0.1 million, or 25.8%. POS cost of sales for the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and in increase of $0.1 million, or 12.6%. For the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, gross margins for POS were (17.5)% and (26.8)%, respectively. For the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, gross margins for POS were (22.5)% and 1.7%, respectively. The gross margin in this business segment fluctuates based on a number of factors including business mix, pricing and volumes. The increase in cost is directly related to the increase in revenue in our core products and services as these items carry a higher percentage of internal costs in relation to non-core products and services. The increase in gross margin is due to continued gain of efficiencies utilizing internal lab facilities.

Cost of Translational Oncology Solutions

Cost of TOS for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 was $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, an increase of $0.2 million, or 46.9%. TOS cost of sales for the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, an increase of $0.4 million, or 34.2%. For the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, gross margins for TOS were 60% and 53%, respectively. For the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, gross margins for TOS were 62% and 46%, respectively. The increase in gross margin is due to the leveraging of the fixed component of cost of sales over a higher revenue amount and the absorption of certain costs associated with this quarter’s revenue in previous quarters.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 were $0.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively, an increase of $0.3 million, or 55.3%. Research and development expense for the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively, an increase of $0.3 million, or 31.1%. This increase is due to the growth of our Tumorbank.

Sales and Marketing

Sales and marketing expenses for both the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 were $0.7 million. Sales and marketing expense for the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 were $1.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million, or (3.5)%. There were no significant changes to our sales and marketing activities between these periods.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 was $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively, an increase of $0.1 million, or 6.5%. General and administrative expense for both the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 was $2.3 million. There were no significant changes to our general and administrative activities between these periods.

Other Income (Expense)

Other (expense) for the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012 was ($0.6) million and ($0.1) million, an increase of $0.5 million. During the three months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recognized (expense) of ($0.58) million and ($0.1) million for the change in fair value of warrants that are accounted for as liabilities and are described further below and in Note 9 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. For the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, other (expense)/income was ($2.1) million and $0.2 million, respectively. The Company will continue to adjust the warrant liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise of the warrants, or expiration of the warrants. This change in fair value of warrant liability was a result of revaluing the warrant liability based on the Monte Carlo simulation valuation model, impacted primarily by the quoted price of the Company's common stock. The revaluation of the warrant liability has no impact on our cash balances.

Inflation

Inflation does not have a meaningful impact on the results of our operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity needs have typically arisen from the funding of our research and development programs and the launch of new products, working capital requirements, and other strategic initiatives. In the past, we have met these cash requirements through our cash and cash equivalents, working capital management, and proceeds from certain private placements of our securities. As of October 31, 2013, we had working capital of $6.0 million and cash and cash equivalents of $7.6 million. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents on hand at October 31, 2013 are adequate to fund operations for at least the next twelve months. Should the Company be required to raise additional capital, there can be no assurance that management would be successful in raising such capital on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Cash Flows

The following discussion relates to the major components of our cash flows:

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $1.9 million and $2.6 million for the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, a decrease of $0.7 million. The decrease is mainly due to the increase in warrant liability and deferred revenue offset by an increase in accounts receivable.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $76,000 and $28,000 for the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. These cash flows primarily relate to the purchase of property and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $9,000 and nil for the six months ended October 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, all of which was due to the exercise of stock options.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to apply methodologies and 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. Significant estimates of the Company include, among other things, accounts receivable realization, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, valuation of goodwill, and stock compensation assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s critical accounting policies are summarized in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on July 26, 2013.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

It is management’s responsibility to establish and maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President, Finance, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of a date within ninety (90) days of the filing date of this Form 10-Q quarterly report. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President, Finance, have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Form 10-Q at the reasonable assurance level in ensuring that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Vice President, Finance, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
