NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A summary of the significant accounting policies applied in the preparation of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements follows.

General

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with instructions to SEC form 10Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Accordingly, the results from operations for the three month period ended January 31, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended October 31, 2011. The unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s 10K for the year ended October 31, 2010.

Business and Basis of Presentation

Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (“Coda,” “the Company,” or “we”) designs and manufactures patented real time 3D sonar solutions and other leading products for sale to the subsea, defense, mining and marine sciences markets, among others. In addition, we supply marine engineering business services to prime defense contractors. We operate through two operating business segments: Marine Technology Business (“Products” segment) and Marine Engineering Business (“Services” segment). Our products are used primarily in the underwater construction market, offshore oil and gas and wind energy industry, and in the complex dredging, port security, mining and marine sciences sectors. Our customers include service providers to major oil and gas companies, law enforcement agencies, ports, mining companies, defense companies and universities. We supply our marine engineering business services mainly to prime defense contractors. We have been supporting some significant defense programs for over 20 years, including the Close In Weapon Support program that enables us to supply, upgrade and maintain proprietary parts to these programs on an ongoing basis.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Coda and our domestic and foreign subsidiaries that are more than 50% owned and controlled. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying disclosures. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that we may undertake in the future, actual results may differ from those estimates. Included in these estimates are assumptions about collection of accounts receivable, impairment of intangible assets, useful life of property and equipment, assumptions used to calculate fair value of stocks and warrants granted, stock based compensation, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, and valuation of derivative liabilities.

Revenue Recognition

We record revenue in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605 - Revenue Recognition. Our revenue is derived from sales of underwater technologies and equipment for imaging, mapping, defense and survey applications, as well as from the performance of various engineering and manufacturing contracts. Revenue is recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the contract price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. No right of return privileges are granted to customers after shipment.

For arrangements with multiple deliverables, we recognize product revenue by allocating the revenue to each deliverable based on the fair value of each deliverable in accordance with ASC 605, and recognize revenue for equipment upon delivery and for installation and other services as performed. 

Our contracts sometimes require customer payments in advance of revenue recognition. These deposit amounts are reflected as liabilities and recognized as revenue when the Company has fulfilled its obligations under the respective contracts.

Revenues derived from our software license sales are recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 985 - Software. For software license sales for which any services rendered are not considered essential to the functionality of the software, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the software, provided (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) collection of our fee is considered probable and (3) the fee is fixed and determinable. 

Some of the subsidiaries report earnings from job contracts on the percentage of completion measured by the proportion of job costs incurred to date to estimate total job costs for each contract. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and vice versa on uncompleted contracts have been recorded as current assets and current liabilities, respectively. At the time a loss becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is recognized. The earnings or losses the Company ultimately will realize on uncompleted contracts could differ materially in the next year from the amounts estimated.

Foreign Currency Translation

Coda translates the foreign currency financial statements of its foreign subsidiaries in accordance with the requirements of ASC 830 - Foreign Currency Matters. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates existing at the balance sheet dates, related revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period and stockholders’ equity is recorded at historical exchange rates. Resulting translation adjustments are recorded as a separate component in stockholders’ equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the statement of income.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method for financial reporting purposes in accordance with the provisions of ASC 740 - Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes, and for operating loss and tax credit carry-forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be removed or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are comprised of highly liquid investments with maturity of three months or less when purchased. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts, which at times, may exceed insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments and related items, which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk, consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. We place our cash and temporary cash investments with credit quality institutions. At times, such investments may be in excess of applicable government mandated insurance limits.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable are generally unsecured. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts receivable based on the age of outstanding invoices and management’s evaluation of collectability. Accounts are written off after all reasonable collection efforts have been exhausted and management concludes that likelihood of collection is remote. Any future recoveries are applied against the allowance for doubtful accounts. We periodically review our trade receivables in determining our allowance for doubtful accounts. Allowance for doubtful accounts was $10,000 for the period ended January 31, 2011 and $9,325 for the year ended October 31, 2010.

Reclassification of Prior Year Presentation

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform the prior period data to the current presentations. These reclassifications had no effect on the reported results.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

FASB ASC 825-10-50 - Financial Investments, requires disclosure of the fair value of certain financial instruments. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and short-term borrowings, as reflected in the balance sheets, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Our long-term debt has interest rates that approximate market and therefore the carrying amounts approximate their fair values.

FASB ASC 820 defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance. FASB ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. FASN ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

CODA OCTOPUS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consisted of the following items as of January 31, 2011:

The fair value of restricted cash and short term investments at January 31, 2011 was grouped as Level 1 valuation as the market price was readily available.

Loans and notes payables are recorded at their face amounts which approximates fair value.

Debt and Equity Securities

The Company follows the provisions of FASB ASC Topic 320, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (ASC 320). The Company classifies debt and equity securities into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale or trading. These security classifications may be modified after acquisition only under certain specified conditions. Securities may be classified as held-to-maturity only if the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold them to maturity. Trading securities are defined as those bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term. All other securities must be classified as available-for-sale.

CODA OCTOPUS GROUP, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

Held-to-maturity securities are measured at amortized cost in the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized holding gains and losses are not included in earnings or in a separate component of capital. They are merely disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized holding gains and losses are not included in earnings but are reported as a net amount (less expected tax) in a separate component of capital until realized.

Trading securities are carried at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. Unrealized holding gains and losses for trading securities are included in earnings.

Declines in the fair value of held-to-maturity and available-for-sale securities below their cost that are deemed to be other than temporary are reflected in earnings as realized losses.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market using the first-in first-out method. Inventory is comprised of the following components at January 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010:

We regularly review our inventory quantities on hand and record a provision for excess and obsolete inventory based primarily on our estimated forecast of product demand, production availability and/or our ability to sell the product(s) concerned. Demand for our products can fluctuate significantly. Factors that could affect demand for our products include unanticipated changes in consumer preferences, general market and economic conditions or other factors that may result in cancellations of advance orders or reductions in the rate of reorders placed by customers and/or continued weakening of economic conditions. Additionally, management’s estimates of future product demand may be inaccurate, which could result in an understated or overstated provision required for excess and obsolete inventory. As of January 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, the allowance for inventory was Nil.

Property and Equipment

We record our equipment at historical cost. We expense maintenance and repairs as incurred. Depreciation is provided for by the straight-line method over three to four years, the estimated useful lives of the property and equipment. When assets are retired or disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed, and any resulting gains or losses are included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations

Long-Lived Assets

FASB ASC Topic 360 Property, Plant and Equipment (ASC 360), which established a “primary asset” approach to determine the cash flow estimation period for a group of assets and liabilities that represents the unit of accounting for a long-lived asset to be held and used. Long-lived assets to be held and used are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Long-lived assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. No impairment loss was recognized during the period ended January 31, 2011 and 2010.

Research and Development

Research and development costs consist of expenditures for the present and future patents and technology, which cannot be capitalized. We are eligible for United Kingdom tax credits related to our qualified research and development expenditures. Tax credits are classified as a reduction of research and development expense. We recorded tax credits of nil during the period ended January 31, 2011 and 2010.

Marketing

We charge the costs of marketing to expense as incurred. For the period ended January 31, 2011 and 2010 marketing costs were $13,878 and $33,084 respectively.

Goodwill and other Intangible Assets

The Company accounts for goodwill and other intangibles assets in accordance with FASB ASC 350. ASC 350 requires that goodwill and identifiable intangible assets to be tested for impairment at least annually or more often if events and circumstances warrant.

Intangible assets consist principally of the excess of cost over the fair value of net assets acquired (or goodwill), customer relationships, non-compete agreements and licenses. Goodwill was allocated to our reporting units based on the original purchase price allocation. Goodwill is not amortized and is evaluated for impairment annually or more often if circumstances indicate impairment may exist. Customer relationships, non-compete agreements, patents and licenses are being amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of 2 to 10 years. The Company amortizes its amortizable intangible assets using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit.

We test for impairment at the reporting unit level as defined in FASB ASC Topic 350 - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (ASC 350). This test is a two-step process. The first step of the goodwill impairment test, used to identify potential impairment, compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. If the fair value, which is based on future cash flows, exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the second step must be performed to measure the amount of the impairment loss, if any. The second step compares the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. In the fourth quarter of each year, we evaluate goodwill on a separate reporting unit basis to assess recoverability, and impairments, if any, are recognized in earnings. An impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the goodwill over the implied fair value of the goodwill. ASC 350 also requires that intangible assets with determinable useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives.

Stock Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted FASB ASC Topic 718 - Compensation - Stock Compensation, (ASC 718) which requires the recognition of the expense related to the fair value of stock-based compensation awards within the statement of income. The Company elected the modified prospective transition method as permitted by (ASC 718). Under this transition method, stock-based compensation expense for the years ended October 31, 2009 and 2008 includes compensation expense for unvested stock-based compensation awards that were outstanding as of January 1, 2006, respectively, for which the requisite service was rendered during the year. The stock-based compensation costs for these awards granted prior to January 1, 2006 were based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of ASC 718. Compensation expense for all stock-based compensation awards granted subsequent to January 1, 2006 is based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 recorded over the requisite service period.

We use the fair value method for equity instruments granted to non-employees and use the Black Scholes model for measuring the fair value. The stock based fair value compensation is determined as of the date of the grant or the date at which the performance of the services is completed (measurement date) and is recognized over the periods in which the related services are rendered.

Comprehensive Income

FASB ASC Topic 220 - Comprehensive Income, (ASC 220) establishes standards for reporting and displaying of comprehensive income, its components and accumulated balances. Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, ASC 220 requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Comprehensive income includes gains and losses on foreign currency translation adjustments and is included as a component of stockholders’ equity.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs primarily include debt issuance costs incurred by the Company in connection with the issuance of secured convertible debentures in February 2008 (see Note 13). Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective debt instruments to which the costs relate and is included in interest expense. Deferred financing cost expense was $nil and $60,532 in the period ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Loss Per Share

Net income (loss) per share

Dilutive common stock equivalents consist of shares issuable upon conversion of warrants and the exercise of the Company’s stock options and warrants. In accordance with ASC 260-45-20, common stock equivalents derived from shares issuable in conversion of the warrants are not considered in the calculation of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding because the adjustments in computing income available to common stockholders would result in a loss. Accordingly, the diluted EPS would be computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share. 

The following reconciliation of net income and share amounts used in the computation of loss per share for the three months ended January 31, 2011 and 2010:

Per share basic and diluted net income (loss) amounted to $(0.01) for the period ended January 31, 2011. Per share basic and diluted net income (loss) amounted to $0.02 and $0.02 for the period ended January 31, 2010, respectively. For the periods ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, there were 30,922,747 and 50,999,796 potential shares, respectively, which were excluded from the shares used to calculate diluted earnings (loss) per share as their inclusion would reduce net loss per share.

Warrant Derivative Liabilities

ASC 815 generally provides three criteria that, if met, require companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments. These three criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument subject to the requirements of ASC 815. ASC 815 also provides an exception to this rule when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as described.

A Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model, with dilution effects, was utilized to estimate the fair value of the warrant derivative liabilities.

Related Parties

Parties are considered to be related to the Company if the parties that, directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, control, are controlled by, or are under common control with the Company. Related parties also include principal owners of the Company, its management, members of the immediate families of principal owners of the Company and its management and other parties with which the Company may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. All transactions with related parties shall be recorded at fair value of the goods or services exchanged. Property purchased from a related party is recorded at the cost to the related party and any payment to or on behalf of the related party in excess of the cost is reflected as a distribution to the related party.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued which may result in a loss to the Company but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company’s management assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against and by the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company’s management evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought.

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material would be disclosed. Loss contingencies considered to be remote by management are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantee would be disclosed.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance now codified under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 105-10, which establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. ASC Topic 105-10 explicitly recognizes rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under federal securities laws as authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. Upon adoption of this guidance under ASC Topic 105-10, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification became non-authoritative. The guidance under ASC Topic 105-10 became effective for the Company as of September 30, 2009. References made to authoritative FASB guidance throughout this document have been updated to the applicable Codification section.

In February 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 825, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an Amendment of ASC 320” (ASC 825) which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Most of the provisions of (ASC 825) apply only to entities that elect the fair value option. However, the amendment to ASC 320 “Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities” applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. ASC 825 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of a fiscal year that begins on or before November 15, 2007, provided the entity also elects to apply the provision of ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements”. The adoption of ASC 825 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business Combinations” (ASC 805), which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes and measures in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any non-controlling interest in an acquiree, including the recognition and measurement of goodwill acquired in a business combination. ASC 805 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The adoption of ASC 805 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 810, “Non-controlling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of ASC 810-12-15” (ASC 810), which will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be re-characterized as non-controlling interests and classified as a component of equity within the consolidated balance sheets. ASC 810 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited and the Company is currently evaluating the effect, if any that the adoption will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 730-20, “Accounting for Non-refundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to be Used in Future Research and Development Activities” ASC 730-20, which requires that non-refundable advance payments for goods or services that will be used or rendered for future research and development (R&D) activities be deferred and amortized over the period that the goods are delivered or the related services are performed, subject to an assessment of recoverability. ASC 730-20 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2007. The Company does not expect that the adoption of ASC 730-20 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 In December 2007, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 808-10-15, “Accounting for Collaborative Arrangements” (ASC 808-10-15) which defines collaborative arrangements and requires collaborators to present the result of activities for which they act as the principal on a gross basis and report any payments received from (made to) the other collaborators based on other applicable authoritative accounting literature, and in the absence of other applicable authoritative literature, on a reasonable, rational and consistent accounting policy is to be elected. ASC 808-10-15 also provides for disclosures regarding the nature and purpose of the arrangement, the entity’s rights and obligations, the accounting policy for the arrangement and the income statement classification and amounts arising from the agreement. ASC 808-10-15 will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, which will be the Company’s fiscal year 2009, and will be applied as a change in accounting principle retrospectively for all collaborative arrangements existing as of the effective date. The Company has not yet evaluated the potential impact of adopting ASC 808-10-15 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 In March 2008, the FASB” issued FASB ASC Topic 815-10-65, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment to 815-10-05 (ASC 815-10-65) which is intended to improve financial standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand their effects on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under 815-10-05 and its related interpretations; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. It is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption encouraged.

 In 2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC 815-40 (Previously known as: EITF 07-05, Determining whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock). FASB ASC 815-40 provides guidance on determining what types of instruments or embedded features in an instrument held by a reporting entity can be considered indexed to its own stock for the purpose of evaluating the first criteria of the scope exception in FASB ASC 810-10-15 (Prior authoritative literature: paragraph 11(a) of SFAS 133).

In May 2008, the FASB ASC Topic 470-20-15, “Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)” (ASC 470-20-15) which requires the issuer of certain convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) on conversion to separately account for the liability (debt) and equity (conversion option) components of the instrument in a manner that reflects the issuer’s non-convertible debt borrowing rate. ASC 470-20-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 on a retroactive basis. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of ASC 470-20-15 on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In June 2008, the FASB issued FASB ASC Topic 260-10-45, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities.” FASB ASC Topic 260-10-45, unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities, and should be included in the two-class method of computing EPS. The FSP is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those years. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASC 260-10-45 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2009, the FASB issued FASB ASC 855-10 (Previously known as: SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events”) FASB ASC 855-10 establishes general standards for accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are available to be issued (“subsequent events”). More specifically, FASB ASC 855-10 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition in the financial statements, identifies the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements and the disclosures that should be made about events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date. FASB ASC 855-10 provides largely the same guidance on subsequent events which previously existed only in auditing literature. The guidance under ASC Topic 855-10 became effective for the Company as of June 30, 2009.

Liquidity

As of January 31, 2011, we have cash and cash equivalents of $1,273,502, a working capital deficit of $16,538,618 and stockholders’ deficit of $12,604,250. For the period ended January 31, 2011, we had net loss of $468,670 and negative cash flow from operations of $107,715. We also have an accumulated deficit of $59,754,503 at January 31, 2011.

NOTE 2 – RESTRICTED CASH

On March 16, 2009, the Company and the holder of the secured convertible debenture (“The Noteholder”) entered into a Cash Control Framework Agreement, pursuant to which it is assumed that, subject to the Company being fully compliant with the terms of this agreement and those set out in the Transaction Documents entered into between the Company and the Noteholder on February 21, 2008, no adverse actions will be taken by the Noteholder. The agreement provides, among other things, for the placement of approximately $2.15 million into a segregated cash account. Under the terms of the agreement, we may request the release of funds from the account from time to time for working capital purposes, subject to the Noteholder’s consent and agreed upon terms and conditions. Under the terms of the agreement, we must also adhere to a strict cost cutting program which involves reducing our SG&A, R&D and capital expenditure by an annualized $3.35 million.

This agreement was extended for a further period of one year, expiring on March 16, 2009. On January 18, 2010, the noteholder notified us in writing that it had waived its right to demand repayment of the loan as a result of our failure to observe certain specified loan covenants. The agreement was extended for a further period of 12 months and now expires on March 16, 2011. We believe that the terms of this agreement may provide us with sufficient liquidity to operate for fiscal 2011.

At January 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010, we have received net advances from this facility of $928,909 and $827,266, respectively.

On or around August 23, 2010, the Company failed to make a scheduled interest payment under the senior convertible debentures. This constituted an event of default under the Loan Note Instrument and the Cash Control Framework Agreement resulting in the Noteholder making a demand for the special purpose amount of $6,000,000 which was advanced to the Company for an approved acquisition under the original Loan Note Instrument and for which it had failed to make.

On or around March 28, 2011 the Noteholder terminated the Cash Control Framework Agreement.

See Note 15 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement for current information on the Cash Control Framework Agreement.

These products are sold as Through Life Support for said periods. These amounts are stated on the balance sheet as Warranty Liability of $1,514,319 and $770,330 as of January 31, 2011 and October 31, 2010 respectively.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FASB ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non-performance. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consisted of the following items as of January 31, 2011:

The fair value of the short term investments, at January 31, 2011 was grouped as Level 1 valuation as the market price was readily available, compared to a fair value of $14,875 for short term investments at October 31, 2010.

Loans and notes payable are recorded at their face amount which approximates fair value.

The remaining fair value of this investment is $13,175 as of January 31, 2011.

Our acquisition of Dragon Design Ltd (“Dragon”) in December 2008 resulted in the valuation of Dragon’s customer relationships and covenants not to compete as intangible assets, which have an estimated useful life of 3 years each, and as such are being amortized on a straight-line basis over that period. In addition, we recognized goodwill of $282,533 that represents the excess of the purchase price we paid over the fair value of Dragon’s net tangible and intangible assets we acquired. See Note 15 for current information on the status of Dragon Design Ltd.

Our acquisition of the assets of Tactical Intelligence, LLC (“Tactical”) In November 2008 resulted in the valuation of Tactical’s customer relationships and covenants not to compete as intangible assets, which have an estimated useful life of 3 years each, and as such are being amortized monthly over that period. In addition, we recognized goodwill of $142,430 that represents the excess of the purchase price we paid over the fair value of Tactical’s net tangible and intangible assets acquired. See Note 15 for current information on the status of Tactical Intelligence, LLC.

Estimated annual amortization expense as of January 31, 2011 is as follows:

Amortization of patents, customer relationships, non-compete agreements and licenses included as a charge to operations amounted to $19,533 and $38,477 for the period ended January 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Goodwill is not being amortized.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE LIABILITY

In June 2008, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which requires entities to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock by assessing the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and settlement provisions. Instruments not indexed to their own stock fail to meet the scope exception of ASC 815 and should be classified as a liability and marked-to-market. The statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and is to be applied to outstanding instruments upon adoption with the cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. The Company has assessed its outstanding equity-linked financial instruments and has concluded that, effective November 1, 2009, the value our warrants will need to be recorded as a derivative liability due to the fact that the conversion price is subject to adjustment based on subsequent sales of securities. The cumulative effect of the change in accounting principle on November 1, 2009 includes an increase in our derivative liability related to the fair value of the conversion feature of $3,306,807. Fair value at November 1, 2009 was determined using the Black-Scholes method based on the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 0.36-1.44%; (2) dividend yield of 0%; (3) volatility factor of the expected market price of our common stock of 302.22%; (4) an expected life of the warrants of 1.41-3.32 years and (5) estimated fair value of common stock of $0.08 per share.

At January 31, 2011 we recalculated the fair value of the conversion feature subject to derivative accounting and have determined that the fair value at January 31, 2011 is $199,480. The fair value of the conversion features was determined using the Black-Scholes method based on the following assumptions: (1) risk free interest rate of 0.15-0.58%; (2) dividend yield of 0%; (3) volatility factor of the expected market price of our common stock of 314%; (4) an expected life of the conversion feature of 0.16-2.07 years and (5) estimated fair value of common stock of $0.02 per share.

We have recorded a gain of $273,904 during the three months ended January 31, 2011 related to the change in fair value during the quarter.

See Note 15 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement on current status of Warrants and Derivative Liability.

NOTE 11 - INCOME TAXES 

The Company has adopted FASB ASC Topic 740 Income Taxes which requires the recognition of deferred tax liabilities and assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statement or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between financial statements and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Temporary differences between taxable income reported for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes are insignificant.

For income tax reporting purposes, the Company’s aggregate U.S. unused net operating losses are $28,725,074 which expire through 2029, subject to limitations of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. The deferred tax asset related to the carry forward is $9,766,525. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the net operating loss benefit, because in the opinion of management based upon the earning history of the Company, it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized.

For income tax reporting purposes, the Company’s aggregate UK unused net operating losses approximate $4,364,843 with no expiration. The deferred tax asset related to the carry-forward is approximately $1,823,000. The Company has provided a valuation reserve against the full amount of the benefits, because in the opinion of management based upon the earning history of the Company, it is more likely than not that the benefits will not be realized.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OPERATIONS

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2011 (the “Form 10-K”) for Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (the “Company”) was due on March 17, 2011. On July 28, 2011, the Company filed a Form 15 (the “Form 15”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission to terminate its registration under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and to suspend its duty to make filings thereunder. The filing of the Form 10-Q at this time is not to be deemed an admission by the Company that it was required to do so prior to filing the Form 15.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein and the disclosures directly related thereto speak as of January 31, 2011 and for the three months then ended. Except as the context requires otherwise, all other information in the Form 10-Q is current as of the date of filing thereof.

Forward-Looking Statements

The information herein contains forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact made herein are forward looking. In particular, the statements herein regarding industry prospects and future results of operations or financial position are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “believes,” “estimates,” “could,” “possibly,” “probably,” anticipates,” “projects,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” or “should” or other variations or similar words. No assurances can be given that the future results anticipated by the forward-looking statements will be achieved. Forward-looking statements reflect management’s current expectations and are inherently uncertain. Our actual results may differ significantly from management’s expectations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our financial statements, included herewith. This discussion should not be construed to imply that the results discussed herein will necessarily continue into the future, or that any conclusion reached herein will necessarily be indicative of actual operating results in the future. Such discussion represents only the best present assessment of our management.

General Overview

This quarterly report relates to the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2011. Nevertheless, information included in this General Overview is current as of the date of filing of this quarterly report.

Coda Octopus Group, Inc. (“Coda,” “the Company,” or “we”) designs and manufactures patented real time 3D sonar solutions and other leading products for sale to the subsea, defense, mining and marine sciences markets, among others. In addition, we supply marine engineering business services to prime defense contractors.

We operate through two operating business segments: Marine Technology Business (“Products” segment) and Marine Engineering Business (“Services” or “Contracting” segment). Our products are used primarily in the underwater construction market, offshore oil and gas and wind energy industry, and in the complex dredging, port security, mining and marine sciences sectors. Our customers include service providers to major oil and gas companies, law enforcement agencies, ports, mining companies, defense companies and universities.

We supply our marine engineering business services mainly to prime defense contractors. We have been supporting some significant defense programs for over 20 years, including the (CIWP) Close In Weapon Support program that enables us to supply and maintain proprietary parts through obsolescence management programs.

Historically, the Marine Technology Business generated approximately 70% of our revenues. In the last two fiscal years the Marine Technology Business has generated closer to 50% of our overall revenues, with the Marine Engineering Business growing at a faster pace. The slower growth of revenues generated by our Products Segment is largely due to the contraction in the oil and gas (O&G) industry. Due to the effort by O&G companies to restructure their O&G operations, the climate in which we sell is fiercely competitive. As a result, we often have to offer customers greater discount on our sales. Consequently, gross profit margins for our Products Segment have weakened.

Nevertheless, we continue to believe that our unique and patented real time 3D solutions, which allow users to have real time (instantaneous) 3D images of their underwater environment even where there is low or zero visibility conditions, is a significant advancement on the current technology available in the subsea sonar market. Because of its real time capability providing volumetric data of underwater target (including the seabed), this technology reduces the operational costs to users as it does not rely on processing of the underwater data after collection as this is provided in real time, similar to a camera. Many of our customers are reporting significant efficiency gains and therefore cost savings. Furthermore, because the technology provides real time image of the underwater environment of the user, it enhances safety significantly. Many subsea tasks currently performed have limitations due to physical constraints and safety reasons. The technology is therefore used for many tasks that traditionally would be performed by divers and, in some instances, the technology is used as an aid to the diver. This results in significant costs reduction for our customers. In addition, our real time 3D solution is one of two preferred solutions for subsea asset placements (such as Accropodes™, mattress placements, block placements and the like). Due to the decline in the price of oil, many O&G companies are seeking cost effective solutions for their operations. We believe that our real time 3D solution has the potential to revolutionize the technology used in underwater operations particularly where real time visualization is required or zero or low visibility conditions prevail.

In recent years we have made good progress in getting our core real time 3D technology, the Echoscope^®, adopted by a significant number of ports in the USA (the CodaOctopus Underwater Inspection System – which integrates our Echoscope, motion sensing product and hydrographic pole) where it is used for port and harbor security. However, until recently we had not managed to replicate this success with foreign ports. In 2015 we secured the first sale of our Underwater Inspection System to a foreign port in Asia and we expect to sell a number of systems to this port for the next three years.

We have also made progress in expanding the markets (and applications) into which we sell our real time 3D Sonars. Recently, we have sold a number of systems to mining companies. Increasingly, our customers involved in energy and renewables are adopting the technology as the primary tool for scour management, subsea cable installation and associated cable protection tasks.

In addition, in recent years we have started to rent our real time 3D solutions with engineering services. Given the contraction in the O&G market, rental is increasingly becoming an important part of the composition of the Company’s revenues.

The following brief overview highlights some of the major issues that currently impact the Company’s business.

The Group’s business is subject to influence from a number of factors including:

The Group has very limited external sources of capital available, and as such is reliant upon its ability to sell its products and services to provide sufficient working capital for its operations and obligations.

The Company’s operations are split between the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and Norway. A large proportion of our revenues and costs are incurred outside of the USA with a significant part of that in the United Kingdom (“UK”).

On June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom voted to exit the European Union. This resulted in significant currency exchange rate fluctuations and volatility in global stock markets. The British government is expected to commence negotiations to determine the terms of separation from the European Union (“Brexit”). The United Kingdom’s separation could, among other things, disrupt trade and the free movement of goods, services and people between the United Kingdom and the European Union or other countries as well as create legal and global economic uncertainty. Currencies could remain volatile for the foreseeable future.

We have already suffered adverse currency movements affecting our UK Businesses subsequent to the reporting period as a result of Brexit. Given the lack of comparable precedent, the implications of Brexit or how such implications might affect the Company in the medium to long term are unclear.

Critical Accounting Policies

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported values of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported levels of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical to an understanding of our financial condition and operating results and that may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters which are inherently uncertain. A discussion of our significant accounting policies, including further discussion of the accounting policies described below, can be found in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” of our Unaudited condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Revenue Recognition

We record revenue in accordance FASB ASC Topic 605 - Revenue Recognition.

Revenue is derived from our products sold by our subsidiaries, Coda Octopus Products Inc. and Ltd., from sales of underwater technologies and equipment for imaging, mapping, defense and survey applications. Revenue is also derived through service contracts gained by our Martech, Colmek Tactical and Innalogic businesses.

Revenue is recognized when conclusive evidence of firm arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the contract price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. No right of return privileges are granted to customers after shipment.

For arrangements with multiple deliverables, we recognize product revenue by allocating the revenue to each deliverable based on the fair value of each deliverable in accordance with ASC 605, and recognize revenue for equipment upon delivery and for installation and other services as performed. ASC 605 was effective for revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003.

Our contracts typically require customer payments in advance of revenue recognition. These deposit amounts are reflected as liabilities and recognized as revenue when the Company has fulfilled its obligations under the respective contracts.

Revenues derived from our software license sales are recognized in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 985 - Software. For software license sales for which any services rendered are not considered essential to the functionality of the software, we recognize revenue upon delivery of the software, provided (1) there is evidence of an arrangement, (2) collection of our fee is considered probable and (3) the fee is fixed and determinable.

Some of the subsidiaries report earnings from job contracts on the percentage of completion measured by the proportion of job costs incurred to date to estimate total job costs for each contract. Costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings and vice versa on uncompleted contracts have been recorded as current assets and current liabilities, respectively. At the time a loss becomes known, the entire amount of the estimated ultimate loss is recognized. The earnings or losses the Company ultimately will realize on uncompleted contracts could differ materially in the next year from the amounts estimated.

Recoverability of Deferred Costs

We defer costs on projects for service revenue. Deferred costs consist primarily of direct and incremental costs to customize and install systems, as defined in individual customer contracts, including costs to acquire hardware and software from third parties and payroll costs for our employees and other third parties.

We recognize such costs in accordance with our revenue recognition policy by contract. For revenue recognized under the completed contract method, costs are deferred until the products are delivered, or upon completion of services or, where applicable, customer acceptance. For revenue recognized under the percentage of completion method, costs are recognized as products are delivered or services are provided in accordance with the percentage of completion calculation. For revenue recognized rateably over the term of the contract, costs are recognized rateably over the term of the contract, commencing on the date of revenue recognition. At each balance sheet date, we review deferred costs, to ensure they are ultimately recoverable. Any anticipated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized when evidence indicates the estimated total cost of a contract exceeds its estimated total revenue.

Stock Based Compensation

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). Under the fair value recognition provisions of this statement, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the value of the award. This value is expensed rateably over the vesting period for time-based awards and when the achievement of performance goals is probable in our opinion for performance-based awards. Determining the fair value of share-based awards at the grant date requires judgment; including volatility, terms, and estimating the amount of share-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock based compensation expense and the Company’s results of operations could be materially impacted.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes are provided using the asset and liability method for financial reporting purposes in accordance with the provisions of FASB ASC 740 - Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values for financial reporting purposes and for operating loss and tax credit carry forwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be removed or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that includes the enactment date.

Results of Operations

Comparison of quarter (November 1, 2010 up to and including January 31, 2011) (“2011 Period”) compared to quarter ended January 31, 2010 (November 1, 2009 up to and including January 31, 2010) (“2010 Period”).

Revenue: Total revenues for the quarter ended January 31, 2011 and the quarter ended January 31, 2010 were $3,588,558 and $3,068,210 respectively, representing an increase of 17.0%.

Gross Margins: Margins were weaker in the 2011 Period at 51.3% (gross profit of $1,839,193) compared to 57.4% ($1,762,231) in the 2010 Period, reflecting a different mix of sales in our businesses (products sales versus project work through our Contracting Segment).

Research and Development (R&D). R&D spending decreased by 12.2% from $477,013 in the 2010 Period to $418,898 in the 2011 Period in line with our cost cutting plan. However, this level of spending still allows us to devote sufficient R&D resources to introduce product variants of our core technology to the market over the next months.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (SG&A). SG&A expenses for the 2011 Period increased by 13% to $1,780,150 from $1,574,894 in the 2010 Period. The increase in the 2011 Period is due to costs associated with various litigation settlements and compromises for terminating a number of existing contracts which is in-keeping with our restructuring and cost reduction plan.

Across the Group, key areas of 2011 Period expenditure include:

Examining HQ SG&A, which is where we have concentrated our cost cutting exercise, we find that overall HQ SG&A (defined as Group Headquarters, and the UK and US Holding Companies) were up to $839,179 in first quarter of 2011 from $343,636 in first quarter 2010. The main components of this are:

In addition to the components shown above, the $839,179 amount includes $279,963 charges recorded for stock compensation.

Operating Loss. We incurred a loss from operations of $359,856 in the 2011 Period against $289,676 in the 2010 Period.

Amortization of deferred financing cost. Amortization of deferred financing cost expense decreased in the 2011 Period to $nil from the 2010 Period costs, which were $60,532.

Gain on change in fair value of warrant liability. In the 2011 Period, we recorded a gain on change in fair value of warrant liability of $273,904 as compared to $1,554,908 in the 2010 Period.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased in the 2011 Period to $419,118 from the 2010 Period interest costs, which were $441,582. In both periods we have included amortization of the 30% redemption premium for our convertible note, at a cost of $128,571.

Segment Analysis.

This section should be read in conjunction with Note 14 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Segment Information Note).

We operate in two business segments, Contracting Sales, and Product Sales Our contracting business consists of Coda Octopus Colmek and Coda Octopus Martech. Our Products business consists of Coda Octopus Products Limited and Coda Octopus Products Inc.

Revenues:

SG&A

Operating Profit (Loss)

On or around October 18, 2010 our subsidiary, Coda Octopus Martech, entered into an arrangement (Company Voluntary Arrangement or (“CVA”)) under which it was agreed to re-schedule £503,335 an equivalent of $807,000 (using an exchange rate of 1.6035) amounts to trade creditors. Under the CVA this amount was scheduled to be repaid over 4 years. 

Financial Instruments Measured at Fair Value

FASB ASC Topic 820 - Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, we considered the principal or most advantageous market in which we would transact and considered assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions, and risk of non- performance. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is disclosed is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Items recorded or measured at fair value on a recurring basis in our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements consisted of the following items as of January 31, 2011:

The fair value of short term investments, at January 31, 2011 was grouped as Level 1 valuation as the market price was readily available.

Loans and notes payable is recorded at face amount, which approximates fair value.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of January 31, 2011, the Company has an accumulated deficit of $59,754,503, a working capital deficit of $16,538,618, stockholder’s deficit of $12,604,250 and used $107,715 cash flow from operations in the 2011 Period. The Company is dependent upon its ability to generate revenue from the sale of its products and services and the discretion of the note holder to release cash to cover operations. Management believes that based upon its commitment to maintain SG&A at around the $8.5 million level until the business is profitable and based upon our reorganization of our business, prospects have been enhanced; based upon the Company’s cash flow projections for its business operations; collectability of its receivables in the ordinary course of business; based on the Noteholder’s 12 month extension of the cash control framework agreement as discussed in Note 13 of the unaudited condensed consolidated Financial Statement the Company will be able to continue its operations through October 31, 2011. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving profitable operations and generating sufficient cash flows from operations to meet future obligations.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended January 31, 2011 was $107,715. We recorded a net loss for the period of $486,670. Other items in uses of funds from operations included depreciation and amortization, impairment of goodwill, stock based compensation, change in fair value of warrant liability, non-cash interest expense and loss on marketable securities which totaled $466,103. Increase in operating assets decreased net cash from operating activities by $607,354 and increases in operating liabilities increased net cash from operating activities by $502,206.

Investing Activities

Net cash used by investing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2011 was $234,001 due to reductions in restricted cash and the purchase of long lived assets.

Financing Activities

Net cash used by financing activities for the three months ended January 31, 2011 was $150,000 as a result payments made on loans payable.

The Company has financed its activities primarily with cash generated from operations and through the issuance of equity securities. From 2006 through 2008, it has raised approximately $24 million through various private equity offerings.

Secured Convertible Debentures

On February 21, 2008 we issued to a London based institutional investor freely transferrable senior secured convertible notes in the principal amount of $12,000,000 (the “Notes”). The Notes are secured by all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries and initially matured 84 months after the date of issuance at which time they were redeemable at 130% of the face amount of the Notes. The Notes accrue interest at the annual rate of 8.5%, payable in cash in semi-annually in arrears. The Notes are convertible into our common stock at the option of the Noteholders at a conversion price of $1.05. Since its issuance, the Notes have been subject to a number of renegotiations and extensions of payment due dates. The Company recently restructured the Notes as follows:

As of October 31, 2015, the principal balance plus accrued interest and accrued conversion premium under the Notes was $14,940,258.

As a result of the restructuring, as of April 30, 2016, the total balance outstanding under the Notes had been reduced to $11,180,706. This amount includes principal and interest.

The Notes are currently held by CCM Holding, LLC, a firm that controls approximately 22.5% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company.

Inflation and Foreign Currency

The Company maintains its books in local currency: US Dollars for its US operations, Pounds Sterling and Norwegian Kroner for its United Kingdom and Norwegian operations, and since 2014, Australian Dollars for its Australian operations respectively.

The Company’s operations are conducted in the United States, and through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, in the United Kingdom. As a result, fluctuations in currency exchange rates do significantly affect the Company’s sales, profitability and financial position when the foreign currencies of its international operations are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting. In addition, we are also subject to currency fluctuation risk with respect to certain foreign currency denominated receivables and payables. The Company cannot predict the extent to which currency fluctuations may affect the Company’s business and financial position, and there is a risk that such fluctuations will have an adverse impact on the Company’s sales, profits and financial position. Also because differing portions of our revenues and costs are denominated in foreign currency, movements can impact our margins by, for example, decreasing our foreign revenues when the dollar strengthens without correspondingly decreasing our expenses. The Company does not currently hedge its currency exposure.

The translation of the Company’s UK operations’ pound Sterling denominated balance sheets into US dollars has been affected by the strengthening of the average value of the US dollar against the British pound sterling in the relevant time periods from $1.63 in 2010, to $1.58 in 2011. These are the values that have been used in the calculations below.

The translation of the Company’s Norwegian operation’s Kroner denominated balance sheets into US dollars has also been affected by the currency fluctuations of the US dollar against the Kroner from an average rate of $0.175 during 2010, to $0.167 during 2010. These are the values that have been used in the calculations below.

The impact of these currency fluctuations on the 2011 Period is shown below:

This table shows that the effect of constant exchange rates, versus the actual exchange rate fluctuations, increased profits for the period by $4,255 and reduced net assets by $18,310. In addition, the Company booked transactional exchange rate gains of $406 during the 2011 Period. All of these amounts are material to our overall financial results.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.

Item 3. Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial (and principal accounting) Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of January 31, 2010. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company continues to improve procedures with regard to its disclosure controls and procedures.

(b) Changes in Internal Controls.

There was no change in our internal controls over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter covered by this Report.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

During the reporting period to which the report applies (quarter ended January 31, 2011) the Company was involved in two lawsuits. The first action involved Federal Engineering and Marketing Associates Inc. (FEMA) a Colorado corporation (Plaintiff) who acted as sales representative of our wholly owned subsidiary, Coda Octopus Colmek Inc (“Colmek”) and the said Colmek as Defendant. The Plaintiff claimed breach of contract. This litigation was fully settled by the parties on or around January 14, 2011 and all actions filed in court were dismissed by consent.

On April 28, 2010 we instituted legal action in the Supreme Court of the State of New York against 4 former employees. These actions were settled in full between November 2010 and January 2011 and all actions filed in court were dismissed by consent.

There are currently no law suits pending against the Company. See Note 15 of the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statement to the financials.

From time to time, we may become involved in various lawsuits and legal proceedings which arise in the ordinary course of business. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm our business. Except as described below, we are currently not aware of any such legal proceedings that we believe will have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or operating results.
