VOLITIONRX LIMITED
(A Development Stage Company)
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013
(Unaudited)
Note 1 - Condensed Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared by VolitionRX Limited (the Company) without audit. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at September 30, 2014, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these condensed unaudited financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2013 audited financial statements. The results of operations for the periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.
Note 2 - Going Concern
The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception of $18,661,015 and currently has very limited revenues, which creates substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
The future of the Company as an operating business will depend on its ability to obtain sufficient capital contributions and/or financing as may be required to sustain its operations. Management's plan to address this need includes, (a) continued exercise of tight cost controls to conserve cash, (b) receiving additional grant funds, and (c) obtaining additional financing through debt or equity financing.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.
Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company also regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Companys estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2014 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Singapore Volition Pte Ltd, Belgian Volition SA, and Hypergenomics Pte. Ltd. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents. As at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $2,419,667 and $888,704, respectively in cash and cash equivalents.
Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. For the three months ended September 30, 2014, 543,275 dilutive warrants and 2,357,275 potentially dilutive warrants and options were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as their effect is anti dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 592,204 dilutive warrants and 2,112,995 potentially dilutive warrants and options were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as their effect is anti dilutive.
Foreign Currency Translation
The Companys functional currency is the Euro and its reporting currency is the United States dollar. Management has adopted ASC 830-20, Foreign Currency Matters Foreign Currency Transactions. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. For revenues and expenses, the weighted average exchange rate for the period is used. Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in other comprehensive loss.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our consolidated financial statements. The Companys management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Companys consolidated financial statements.
The Company has limited operations and is considered to be in the development stage. In the quarterly period ended September 30, 2014, the Company has elected to early adopt Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-10, Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements. The adoption of this ASU allows the Company to remove the inception to date information and all references to the development stage.
Note 4 - Intangible Assets
The Companys intangible assets consist of intellectual property, principally patents, acquired in the acquisition of ValiBio SA. The patents are being amortized over their remaining lives, which are 9 years and 17 years.

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, and the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized $72,646 and $114,879 in amortization expense respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2013 the Company also recognized impairment losses of $350,000. No impairment losses were recognized during the nine month period ended September 30, 2014.
The Company amortizes the long-lived assets on a straight line basis with terms ranging from 13 to 20 years. The annual estimated amortization schedule over the next five years is as follows:
2014 - remaining | $ | 22,721 |
2015 | $ | 90,882 |
2016 | $ | 90,882 |
2017 | $ | 90,882 |
2018 | $ | 90,882 |
The Company periodically reviews its long lived assets to ensure that their carrying value does not exceed their fair market value. The Company carried out such a review in accordance with ASC 360 as of December 31, 2013. The result of this review confirmed that the fair value of the patents exceeded their carrying value as of December 31, 2013.
Note 5 - Related Party Transactions
The Company contracts with a related party to rent office space, be provided with office support staff, and have consultancy services provided on behalf of the Company. See Note 8 for obligation under the contract.
Note 6 - Common Stock
On February 26, 2014, the Company issued 1,500,000 shares of common stock for a total of $3,000,000 at a price of $2.00 per share. Attached to these share issuances were 1,500,000 warrants, immediately exercisable for a period of five years at $2.20 per share. The warrants were valued at $3,955,546 using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model using the following assumptions: Five year term, $2.68 stock price, $2.20 exercise price, 239% volatility, 1.50% risk free rate. Agents received 30,975 warrants, exercisable on the same terms as the warrants issued for cash subscriptions, and valued at $82,507 on the same basis as above. Due to a ratchet provision in the warrant agreement effective for the twelve months to February 26, 2015, all the foregoing warrants have been treated as a derivative liability in accordance with ASC 815. Other fees and expenses directly attributable to agents in respect of these issuances were $147,186 in cash, and $25,900 settled by the issue of shares of common stock. Legal expenses directly attributable to the issuances amounted to $84,879.

At September 30, 2014, the derivative liability was re-measured and revalued at $6,446,068, resulting in a loss of $4,130,562 for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF PLAN OF OPERATION
This Managements Discussion and Analysis of Plan of Operation contains forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are based on current expectations, estimates and projections. We may use words such as anticipate, expect, intend, plan, believe, foresee, estimate and variations of these words and similar expressions to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted. You should read this report completely and with the understanding that actual future results may be materially different from what we expect. The forward-looking statements included in this report are made as of the date of this report and should be evaluated with consideration of any changes occurring after the date of this Report. We will not update forward-looking statements even though our situation may change in the future and we assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2014, the Company had cash of $2,419,667, other current assets and prepayments of $251,257, and current liabilities of $7,580,554. This represents a working capital deficit of $4,909,630. Current liabilities include an amount of $6,446,068 in respect of a derivative liability. After excluding this liability there is an operating working capital surplus of $1,536,438.
We intend to use our cash reserves to fund further research and development activities. We do not currently have any substantial source of revenues and expect to rely on additional financing. We are pursuing plans to seek further capital through the sale of additional stock by way of private placement, but there is no assurance that we will be successful in raising further funds.
In the event that additional financing is delayed, the Company will prioritize the maintenance of its research and development personnel and facilities, primarily in Belgium, and the maintenance of its patent rights. However the completion of clinical validation studies and regulatory approval processes for the purpose of bringing products to the IVD market would be delayed. In the event of an ongoing lack of financing, we may be obliged to discontinue operations, which will adversely affect the value of our common stock.
Overview of Operations
Management has identified the specific processes and resources required to achieve the near and medium term objectives of the business plan, including personnel, facilities, equipment, research and testing materials including antibodies and clinical samples, and the protection of intellectual property. To date, operations have proceeded satisfactorily in relation to the business plan. However it is possible that some resources will not readily become available in a suitable form or on a timely basis or at an acceptable cost. It is also possible that the results of some processes may not be as expected and that modifications of procedures and materials may be required. Such events could result in delays to the achievement of the near and medium term objectives of the business plan, in particular the progression of clinical validation studies and regulatory approval processes for the purpose of bringing products to the IVD market. However, at this point, the most significant risk to the Company is that it will not succeed in obtaining additional financing in the medium term.
On October 31, 2014, the Company amended the terms of 1,121,225 warrants of the 1,530,975 that had been issued on February 26, 2014 (See note 6 to The Financial Statements.) The aforementioned warrants had a ratchet provision effective until February 26, 2015 and have been treated as a derivative liability. As a result of the amendment, the ratchet provision is now effective until October 31, 2014. If the ratchet provision had been changed in these warrants to give an effective date prior to September 30, 2014, then the derivative liability in the balance sheet would have been $1,725,226, as opposed to $6,446,068 disclosed on the balance sheet as at September 30, 2014 (See note 7a to The Financial Statements.)

Revenues
The Company had revenues of $14,785 from operations in the three months ended September 30, 2014, and no revenues from operations in the comparative period for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The Companys operations are still predominantly in the development stage.
Operating Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Companys operating expenses increased by $852,600, or 92.1%. Operating expenses are comprised of salaries and office administrative fees, research and development expenses, professional fees, and other general and administrative expenses. Salaries and office administrative fees increased by $277,509, due principally to an increase in costs on a warrants revaluation of $155,654. In addition, there was an extra $78,548 of costs generated from the amortization of share options, following additional share options being granted in August 2014. Research and development expenses increased by $547,450. This is mainly explained by additional costs of $90,219 for the purchases of antibodies and samples, and $213,367 in staff and consultancy costs. $151,914 was also spent on a new Danish Study in 2014, and an additional $65,214 on share option amortization for staff in R&D. These increases all reflect a higher level of research and development activity. Professional fees decreased by $33,716, due principally to decreases in fees for public relations and investor relations services, as services were rationalized. General and administrative expenses increased by $61,357. This increase is in part explained by an increase in fundraising services costs of $35,906, associated with fees paid to placement agents and a $17,321 increase in travel, subsistence and conference costs.
Net Other Expenses
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded other expenses of $4,130,562 in relation to the revaluation of a derivative liability resulting from the issue of 1,500,000 warrants attached to the issuance of 1,500,000 shares, together with 30,975 warrants issued to agents.
Net Loss
For the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a net loss of $5,893,944, a negative change of $4,968,377 or 536.8% in relation to the comparative period loss of $925,567 for the three months ended September 30, 2013. The change is a result of the changes described above.

An additional $151,914 was also spent on a new Danish Study in 2014. These increases all reflect a higher level of research and development and patent activity. Professional fees increased by $101,947, due principally to increases of $39,493 in legal fees, with additional fund raising activities in 2014 and $58,429 in fees for investor relations services , as a result of the issue of warrants and additional resource being taken on in this area.

16
Going Concern
We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.
Future Financings
We will continue to rely on equity sales of our common shares in order to continue to fund our business operations. Issuances of additional shares will result in dilution to existing stockholders. There is no assurance that we will achieve any additional sales of equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund our operations and other activities.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
We regularly evaluate the accounting policies and estimates that we use to prepare our financial statements. A complete summary of these policies is included in the notes to our financial statements. In general, management's estimates are based on historical experience, on information from third party professionals, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the facts and circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates made by management.
Contractual Obligations
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide the information under this item.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. These pronouncements did not have any material impact on the financial statements unless otherwise disclosed, and the Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act"). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2014, due to the material weakness resulting from no member of our Board of Directors qualifying as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. On November 5, 2014, the Board of Directors formed an Audit Committee and adopted its Charter. Mr. Guy Innes is a Chartered Accountant and qualifies as an audit committee financial expert as defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. Please refer to our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2013 on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2014, for a complete discussion relating to the foregoing evaluation of Disclosures and Procedures.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management has also evaluated our internal control over financial reporting, and there have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect those controls subsequent to the date of our last evaluation.
The Company is not required by current SEC rules to include, and does not include, an auditor's attestation report. The Company's registered public accounting firm has not attested to Management's reports on the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Exemption From Registration. The shares of Common Stock referenced herein were issued in reliance upon one of the following exemptions:
(a) The shares of Common Stock referenced herein were issued in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by the provisions of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, ("Securities Act"), based upon the following: (a) each of the persons to whom the shares of Common Stock were issued (each such person, an "Investor") confirmed to the Company that it or he is an "accredited investor," as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act and has such background, education and experience in financial and business matters as to be able to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the securities, (b) there was no public offering or general solicitation with respect to the offering of such shares, (c) each Investor was provided with certain disclosure materials and all other information requested with respect to the Company, (d) each Investor acknowledged that all securities being purchased were being purchased for investment intent and were "restricted securities" for purposes of the Securities Act, and agreed to transfer such securities only in a transaction registered under the Securities Act or exempt from registration under the Securities Act and (e) a legend has been, or will be, placed on the certificates representing each such security stating that it was restricted and could only be transferred if subsequently registered under the Securities Act or transferred in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act.
(b) The shares of common stock referenced herein were issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. We made this determination in part based on the representations of the Investor(s), which included, in pertinent part, that such Investor(s) was an accredited investor as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act, and upon such further representations from the Investor(s) that (a) the Investor is acquiring the securities for his, her or its own account for investment and not for the account of any other person and not with a view to or for distribution, assignment or resale in connection with any distribution within the meaning of the Securities Act, (b) the Investor agrees not to sell or otherwise transfer the purchased securities unless they are registered under the Securities Act and any applicable state securities laws, or an exemption or exemptions from such registration are available, (c) the Investor either alone or together with its representatives has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that he, she or it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in us, and (d) the Investor has no need for the liquidity in its investment in us and could afford the complete loss of such investment. Our determination is made based further upon our action of (a) making written disclosure to each Investor prior to the closing of sale that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and therefore cannot be resold unless they are registered or unless an exemption from registration is available, (b) making written descriptions of the securities being offered, the use of the proceeds from the offering and any material changes in the Companys affairs that are not disclosed in the documents furnished, and (c) placement of a legend on the certificate that evidences the securities stating that the securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth the restrictions on transferability and sale of the securities, and upon such inaction of the Company of any general solicitation or advertising for securities herein issued in reliance upon Rule 506 of Regulation D and Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
(c) The shares of Common Stock referenced herein were issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Act. We completed the offering of the shares pursuant to Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Act on the basis that the sale of the shares was completed in an "offshore transaction", as defined in Rule 902(h) of Regulation S. We did not engage in any directed selling efforts, as defined in Regulation S, in the United States in connection with the sale of the shares. Each investor represented to us that the investor was not a "U.S. person", as defined in Regulation S, and was not acquiring the shares for the account or benefit of a U.S. person. The agreement executed between us and each investor included statements that the securities had not been registered pursuant to the Act and that the securities may not be offered or sold in the United States unless the securities are registered under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from the Act. Each investor agreed by execution of the agreement for the shares: (i) to resell the securities purchased only in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act; (ii) that we are required to refuse to register any sale of the securities purchased unless the transfer is in accordance with the provisions of Regulation S, pursuant to registration under the Act or pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Act; and (iii) not to engage in hedging transactions with regards to the securities purchased unless in compliance with the Act. All certificates representing the shares were or upon issuance will be endorsed with a restrictive legend confirming that the securities had been issued pursuant to Regulation S of the Act and could not be resold without registration under the Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Act.
