EXPLANATORY NOTE


This Amendment No. 3 to our Current Report on Form 8-K originally filed on October 13, 2011, (the “Original Filing’) is being made to respond to certain comments received from the Staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, various changes made to certain financial statement items between Amendment No. 1 to the Form 8-K filed November 1, 2011 and Amendment No. 2 to the Form 8-K filed January 11, 2012.


Specifically, the financial statements filed as Exhibit 99.02 to Amendment No. 2 as compared to the financial statements for the same period that were filed as Exhibit 99.01 to the Amendment No. 1 reflect the following changes: (i) The figure for non-cash financing activities at the foot of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows was amended from $900,000 to $1,000,000 in order to reflect the entire note payable that was entered into; (ii) Note 2(f) Foreign Currency Translation was amended to provide additional information about our functional currency and exchange rate; (iii) Note 4 Property and Equipment was amended to revise the depreciation expense of the Company during the period ended December 11, 2010; (iv) Note 10 Subsequent Events was amended to provide additional information about shares issued for services subsequent to December 31, 2010. In particular, the valuation per share of 350,000 shares issued to a related party was revised from $0.30 to $1.00 to reflect the most recent cash issuance prices relative to the date of grant, and the disclosure was revised as follows: Subsequent to the period end, the Company also issued 350,000 shares of common stock to a related party in advance for research and development and investment relation services to be performed over a five year period. The shares were valued at $1.00 per share based on the most recent cash issuance prices relative to the grant date as this was determined to be the most readily determinable value in accordance with ASC 718 and ASC 505. The Company will expense the shares monthly as services are provided. Because the shares are fully vested and non-forfeitable, the shares were valued based on the current market price on the grant date and will be amortized over the life of the agreement; and (v) Note 10 Subsequent Events was also amended to include further information about the share exchange agreement with Standard Capital Corporation as follows: Upon completion of the transaction, the former shareholders of the Company owned 6,906,852 shares of the Company’s common stock, representing approximately 85% of the outstanding common stock of the Company. As a result, the acquisition has been recorded as a reverse merger with the Company being treated as the accounting acquirer and SCC as the legal acquirer (accounting acquiree).


For convenience and ease of reference, the Company is filing this Form 8-K/A in its entirety with all applicable changes and unless otherwise stated, all information contained in this amendment is as of October 13, 2011, the filing date of the Original Filing. Except as stated herein, this Form 8-K/A does not reflect events or transactions occurring after such filing date or modify or update those disclosures in the Original Filing that may have been affected by events or transactions occurring subsequent to such filing date.

ITEM 1.01

ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT


On September 26, 2011, the Company, then under the name Standard Capital Corporation, and its controlling stockholders (the “Controlling Stockholders”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Singapore Volition Pte Limited, a Singapore registered company (“Singapore Volition”) and the shareholders of Singapore Volition (the “Volition Shareholders”), whereby the Company acquired 6,908,652 (100%) shares of common stock of Singapore Volition (the “Volition Stock”) from the Volition Shareholders.  In exchange for the Volition Stock, the Company issued 6,908,652 shares of its common stock to the Volition Shareholders.   The Share Exchange Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and conditions to closing.  The Share Exchange Agreement closed on October 6, 2011.  


Section 2.3 of the Share Exchange Agreement provides that there are 750,000 outstanding and unexercised warrants of Singapore Volition and Singapore Volition intends to issue an additional 900,000 warrants to its affiliates through a stock incentive plan.  As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, each outstanding and unexercised warrant or option of Singapore Volition, by operation of law, became a warrant or option of the Company.  The exercise of these warrants would increase the amount of issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock and cause the Company’s shareholders to suffer dilution in their ownership interests.  Additionally, this may dilute the book value of the common stock, and that dilution may be material.   Further, the resulting increase in the issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company may make it more difficult for shareholders of the Company to sell their shares on the market at a time and price that the shareholders deem appropriate.  


  

Section 2.4 of the Share Exchange Agreement discloses that Singapore Volition is also a party to a Share Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) with ValiRX PLC, a registered company of England and Wales (“ValiRX”) dated September 22, 2010 and subsequently amended on June 9, 2011 (the “Amendment”). Pursuant to that Purchase Agreement and Amendment, Singapore Volition shall purchase all of the shares held by ValiRX in ValiBio SA (“ValiBio”). In exchange for the ValiBio shares, Singapore Volition shall pay $400,000 USD to ValiRX in four equal payments and issue stock with a value of $1,110,000 USD in either Singapore Volition or, following the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, in the Company, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement. On December 6, 2011, the Company issued shares of its common stock with a value of $1,110,000 USD to ValiRX.  As a result of the share issuance, existing shareholders of the Company experienced dilution in their ownership interests.  The Company cannot predict what effect, if any, the share issuance will have on the market price of its common stock.


Sections 5.2 and 5.3 of the Share Exchange Agreement provide that, prior to the closing of the agreement, a total of 265,000 shares of common stock of the Company shall be cancelled and the Company shall complete a 0.6-for-1 reverse split of the Company’s then 2,020,000 issued and outstanding shares of common stock, resulting in 1,212,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding following the cancellation and reverse split.  Subsequently, the Company and Singapore Volition mutually agreed to modify the condition that the Company complete a reverse split and, in lieu thereof, that the Company shall cancel forty percent (40%) of the 2,020,000 shares of the Company’s then issued and outstanding common stock, resulting in 1,212,000 shares of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding following the cancellation.  The material effect of the cancellations of shares is that the existing shareholders of the Company now have greater ownership interests in the Company and may have more influence or control and greater ability to delay, defer or prevent any potential changes in control of the Company.  However, with a smaller number of issued and outstanding shares of the Company, it may be more difficult for a strong public market for our common stock to develop and if it does not develop, investors may not be able to resell their shares of common stock and may lose all of their investment.  Further, a smaller public float may cause our stock price to be very volatile and fluctuate widely.


The foregoing summary description of the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement may not contain all information that is of interest to the reader. For further information regarding specific terms and conditions of the Share Exchange Agreement, this reference is made to such agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 29, 2011, and incorporated herein by this reference.


ITEM 2.01

COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS


The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.01.


As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, (i) our principal business became the business of Singapore Volition, which is more fully described below; and (ii) Singapore Volition became our wholly-owned operating subsidiary. We are currently a development stage company.  Since the Volition Shareholders obtained the majority of the outstanding shares of the Company through the acquisition, the acquisition is accounted for as a reverse merger or recapitalization of the Company. As such, Singapore Volition is considered the acquirer for accounting purposes.



3




As of the date of the Share Exchange Agreement, there were no material relationships between the Company and Singapore Volition or between the Company and any of Singapore Volition’s respective affiliates, directors, or officers, or any associates of its respective officers or directors, other than in respect of the Share Exchange Agreement.


ITEM 3.02

UNREGISTERED SHARES OF EQUITY SECURITIES


The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02.


Exemption from Registration. The shares of common stock referenced herein were issued to the Volition Shareholders in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering, or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or Regulation S for offers and sales of securities outside the U.S.  The Share Exchange Agreement is an exempt transaction pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as the share issuance to the Volition Shareholders was a private transaction by the Company and did not involve any public offering.  Additionally, we relied upon the exemption afforded by Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act which is a safe harbor for the private offering exemption of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act whereby an issuer may sell its securities to an unlimited number of accredited investors, as ten (10) out of the thirty-eight (38) Volition Shareholders are “accredited investors” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D.  Further, we relied upon the safe harbor provision of Rule 903 of Regulation S of the Securities Act which permits offers or sales of securities by the Company outside of the United States that are not made to “U.S. persons” or for the account or benefit of a U.S. person, as twenty-eight (28) of the thirty-eight (38) Volition Shareholders are not “U.S. persons” as that term is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S.


ITEM 5.01

CHANGES IN CONTROL OF REGISTRANT


The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.


On September 26, 2011, the Company, then under the name Standard Capital Corporation, and its controlling stockholders (the “Controlling Stockholders”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Singapore Volition Pte Limited, a Singapore registered company (“Singapore Volition”) and the shareholders of Singapore Volition (the “Volition Shareholders”), whereby the Company acquired 6,908,652 (100%) shares of common stock of Singapore Volition (the “Volition Stock”) from the Volition Shareholders.  At the time the Share Exchange Agreement closed, none of the Controlling Stockholders of the Company beneficially owned more than 5% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares of common stock; accordingly, the Volition Shareholders acquired control collectively from the Board of Directors of the Company and its Officers.


The new shares of the Company's capital stock issued to the Volition Shareholders in connection with the Share Exchange Agreement were not registered under the Securities Act but were issued in reliance upon an exemption from registration afforded under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering, or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or Regulation S for offers and sales of securities outside the U.S.  These securities may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. Certificates representing these shares contain a legend stating the same.


The Share Exchange Agreement is being accounted for as a "reverse acquisition," as the Volition Shareholders own a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company's capital stock immediately following the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement. The Board of Directors and management, after the Share Exchange Agreement, are comprised of Singapore Volition’s management team. Furthermore, the operations of Singapore Volition are the continuing operations of the Company, therefore, Singapore Volition is deemed to be the acquirer in the reverse acquisition.

ITEM 5.03

AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR


On September 22, 2011, the Company, then under the name Standard Capital Corporation, filed a Certificate for Renewal and Revival of Charter (“Certificate for Renewal”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware, to reinstate the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation, which had become forfeited or void for failure to file certain past due annual reports with the Secretary of State of Delaware and for nonpayment of annual franchise taxes. However, subsequent to the Certificate of Incorporation becoming forfeited or void and prior to filing the Certificate for Renewal, another corporation organized under the laws of the State of Delaware had adopted the same name or a name so nearly similar thereto as not to distinguish it from the Company’s name of "Standard Capital Corporation". Therefore, pursuant to Section 312(1) of Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company was revived under the new name of "VolitionRX Limited."  A copy of the Certificate for Renewal was filed as Exhibit 3.01(b) as part of our Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A as filed with the SEC on January 11, 2012 and is incorporated herein by reference.  The name change to VolitionRX Limited was approved by FINRA on October 7, 2011 and became effective on October 11, 2011. As of the date of this Report, the Company is in good standing in the State of Delaware.


Effective December 1, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's fiscal year end from August 31st to December 31st.   The Company intends to file a transition report for the four month period from September 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011 on a Form 10-KT on or before March 30, 2011.


ITEM 5.06

CHANGE IN SHELL COMPANY STATUS


As a result of closing the Share Exchange Agreement, the Company is no longer a shell corporation as that term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act and Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act.



5



FORM 10 DISCLOSURE


As disclosed elsewhere in this Report, we completed a Share Exchange Agreement with Singapore Volition.  Item 2.01(f) and 5.01(a)(8) of Form 8-K states that if the registrant was a shell company, as we were, immediately before the transaction disclosed under Item 2.01, then the registrant must disclose the information that would be required if the registrant were filing a general form for registration of securities on Form 10 under the Exchange Act.


Accordingly, we are providing below the information that would be included in a Form 10 if we were to file a Form 10. Please note that the information provided below relates to the combined enterprises of the Company and Singapore Volition after the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, except that information relating to periods prior to the date of the Share Exchange Agreement relate to Singapore Volition unless otherwise specifically indicated.


ITEM 1.

BUSINESS


Corporate History


The Company was incorporated on September 24, 1998 in the State of Delaware under the name Standard Capital Corporation.  The original business plan of the Company was to acquire and develop mineral properties.  The Company leased the rights to explore a mining claim known as the Standard (the “Standard Claim”), but allowed the lease to expire in February 2008.  The Company no longer has any rights to the minerals on the Standard Claim nor does it have any liabilities attached to the claim.  


On September 26, 2011, the Company, then under the name Standard Capital Corporation, and its controlling stockholders (the “Controlling Stockholders”) entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Singapore Volition Pte Limited, a Singapore registered company (“Singapore Volition”) and the shareholders of Singapore Volition (the “Volition Shareholders”), whereby the Company acquired 6,908,652 (100%) shares of common stock of Singapore Volition (the “Volition Stock”) from the Volition Shareholders.  In exchange for the Volition Stock, the Company issued 6,908,652 shares of its common stock to the Volition Shareholders.  The Share Exchange Agreement closed on October 6, 2011.  As a result of the Share Exchange Agreement, Singapore Volition became our wholly-owned operating subsidiary and the Company now intends to carry on the business of Singapore Volition as its primary business.  The Company is currently in the development stage.  


Singapore Volition (registration number 201016543R) was incorporated on August 5, 2010 in Singapore as a Limited Private Company.  The business plan of Singapore Volition is to acquire, develop and bring to production life science technologies.  Singapore Volition has two subsidiaries, Belgian Volition SA (formerly ValiBio SA), a Belgium registered company incorporated on July 23, 2007 (“Belgian Volition”), and HyperGenomics Pte Limited, a Singapore registered company incorporated on March 7, 2011 (“HyperGenomics Pte Limited”).  Singapore Volition purchased 99.9% of the shares of Belgian Volition from ValiRX PLC (“ValiRX”) pursuant to that certain Share Purchase Agreement with ValiRX dated September 22, 2010, and subsequently amended on June 9, 2011.   A copy of the Share Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.08.  A copy of the Amendment was filed as Exhibit 10.15 to our Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on January 11, 2012.   As a result, Belgian Volition became a subsidiary of Singapore Volition.  On March 7, 2011, Singapore Volition formed Hypergenomics Pte Limited as a wholly-owned subsidiary.


On September 22, 2011, the Company, still under the name Standard Capital Corporation, filed a Certificate for Renewal and Revival of Charter (“Certificate for Renewal”) with the Secretary of State of Delaware, to reinstate the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation. Pursuant to Section 312(1) of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company was revived under the new name of "VolitionRX Limited."  The name change to VolitionRX Limited was approved by FINRA on October 7, 2011 and became effective on October 11, 2011.


Description of Our Business


The Company is a development stage life sciences company focused on meeting the need for accurate, fast, inexpensive and scalable tests for detecting and diagnosing cancer and other diseases.  We are in the development stage of our operations and are in the process of discovering and developing blood-based diagnostic tests intended for future commercialization through various channels within the United States and eventually throughout the world.   We are currently developing six blood test product prototypes.  Each product that we are developing can be commercialized for two distinct markets, the clinical in-vitro diagnostics (“IVD”) market and the research use only (“RUO”) market.  Commercializing products on the RUO market means that we intend to sell our future products to medical schools, universities and commercial research and development departments for research use only.  Products placed on the RUO market may be used for any research purpose, even if the products are being studied or tested for uses other than those intended.  RUO products, however, are not to be used for patient diagnosis.   Commercializing products on the IVD market means that we intend to sell our future products to be used in hospitals, clinics, etc. for patient diagnosis.  None of the products that we are currently developing are available on either market.



6



Currently, there are very few blood tests available to detect cancer. The current blood tests available are primarily the prostate specific antigen (“PSA”) test for prostate cancer and the septin-9 test for colon cancer. The PSA test has very poor diagnostic accuracy (detects approximately 70% of prostate cancers and misdiagnoses about 30% of healthy men as positive for cancer) but is widely used because it is the best product currently available. The septin-9 colon cancer test has better diagnostic accuracy (detects approximately 70% of colon cancers and misdiagnoses about 10% of healthy people as positive for cancer) but is extremely expensive and technically complex. There are currently no blood tests for detecting lung cancer.  Pancreatic cancer is currently not detectable by any means prior to symptomatic presentation of the patient by which time the disease is advanced and the patient life expectancy is short (a matter of a small number of months).  


We do not anticipate earning revenues until such time as we able to fully market our intended products on either the RUO or IVD clinical diagnostics market.  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. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish its plan of operations described herein and eventually attain profitable operations.


We anticipate that any additional funding that we will require will be in the form of equity financing from the sale of our common stock.  However, there is no assurance that we will be able to raise sufficient funding from the sale of our common stock.  The risky nature of our business enterprise places debt financing beyond the credit-worthiness required by most banks or typical investors of corporate debt until such time as our intended products are available on the market.  We do not have any arrangements in place for any future equity financing.  If we are unable to secure additional funding, we will cease or suspend operations.  We have no plans, arrangements or contingencies in place in the event that we cease operations.


The Market


Everyone in the world has, or will be, touched by the effects of cancer. It is one of the world’s most deadly diseases, accounting for around 13% of annual global deaths. 1 In the United States alone, there are 13.8 million cancer survivors.  By 2020, this figure is expected to rise to 18.1 million and the cost of cancer to the U.S. is projected to reach $158 billion.2 These figures are mirrored in all regions of the world and will continue to grow as populations age.  This is a large potential market of which diagnostics will be a significant part.


Inevitably, the chances of surviving cancer are greatly improved by early detection and diagnosis, however, there is currently no screening test for cancer in general, and very few effective mass screening tests for specific cancers.  Further, current methods of cancer diagnosis are not cost effective and cannot provide accurate results.  The inadequacy of existing diagnostic products means that most cancers are only diagnosed once the patient experiences symptoms and the cancer is well established. By this stage, it will often have spread beyond the primary tumor (metastatic cancers), making it substantially more difficult to treat.  Early, non-invasive, accurate cancer diagnosis remains a great unmet medical need and a huge commercial opportunity. For these reasons, cancer diagnostics is an active field of research and development both academically and in the industry.


The global IVD market is forecast to grow at a rate of 6% to reach $50.0 billion in 2012, driven by the increasing health care demands of an aging population.  The market has been growing at a rate of 5-6% in recent years, reaching a value of $36.5 billion in 2007.3 The largest IVD market segment is diabetes diagnostics with a value of $10 billion.4  The cancer IVD market comprising cancer blood and tissue biopsy tests was $4.7 billion in 2008 and growing at 11%.5


Of this the two largest IVD market segments are:


·

Histology, immunohistochemistry and cytology of tissue samples (45% of IVD sales or approximately $2 billion). These are mostly used to confirm cancer diagnosis post-surgery and to determine cancer sub-type; and


·

Immunoassays, mostly of blood samples (30% of IVD sales or approximately $1.5 billion). These are mostly used to monitor for disease progress and relapse. This market segment includes our future NucleosomicsTM products which will be blood immunoassay tests for modified histones for the diagnosis of cancer.

The IVD market (all disease areas) is highly consolidated with the top 10 companies taking an 80% market share. Roche Diagnostics is the largest single company by market share with 20%. Siemens and Abbott both have 12% market share6.  The cancer IVD market also contains many smaller development companies like ours.


The Company is focused on responding to the need for early, accurate diagnostic tests through the development of its proprietary technologies and product prototypes. The Company intends to develop a range of products over the next 5-10 years with both general and specific cancer tests, on increasingly simple formats.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company spent $79,126 on research and development activities.  For the nine month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company spent $506,218 on research and development activities.   None of these costs are borne directly by customers as the Company is in the development stage and does not have any customers.


Our Intended Products


Each product that we are in the process of developing can be commercialized for two distinct markets, the clinical IVD market and the RUO market.  To commercialize our future products on the clinical IVD market requires government approval (CE Marking in Europe and/or FDA approval in the U.S.).  Commercializing our future products on the IVD market means that we intend to sell our future products to be used in hospitals, clinics, etc. for patient diagnosis. Commercializing our future products on the RUO market means that we intend to sell our future products to medical schools, universities and commercial research and development departments for RUO and not to be used for patient diagnosis.  The RUO market does not require government approval, however, before any of our intended products can be sold on the RUO market, they will need to successfully complete beta-testing. Beta-testing involves providing the products to a few laboratories to identify and correct any problems in the products.  None of the products that we are currently developing are available on either the IVD or RUO market.  The products that the Company is currently developing are described in detail below:


NuQTM Suite of Epigenetic Cancer Blood Tests


We are currently developing six epigenetic cancer blood test product prototypes based on our NuQTM technology which is designed to detect the level of nucleosomes in blood.   We are in the development stage of our operations and to date, we have no products available for sale on either the IVD or RUO market.   Epigenetics is the science of how genes are switched “on” or “off” in the body’s cells. A major factor controlling the switching “on” and “off” is the structuring of DNA. The DNA in every human cell is not a random string but wound around protein complexes in a “beads on a string” structure. Each individual “bead” with associated DNA coiled around it is called a nucleosome. These nucleosomes then form additional structures with increasingly dense packing, culminating in chromosomes containing hundreds of thousands of nucleosomes.  


[f8ka3022312_8kz001.jpg]


Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled and rapid cell growth and also by an approximately matched, but slightly less, rapid cell death rate. When the cells die, the DNA is chopped up into individual nucleosomes which are released into the blood as summarized in Figure 1 below.  When cells break up, they end up in the bloodstream to be recycled back into the body. When a cancer is present, the number of cells being recycled is far higher than in a healthy body, so the system is overwhelmed, leaving the excess broken-up pieces, including the nucleosomes, in the blood.  The structure of nucleosomes is not uniform but subject to immense variety. It is has been known for 4 or 5 years that nucleosomes in cancer cells are different in structure from those in healthy cells1.

Figure 1 – Release of nucleosomes into blood



Additionally, blood nucleosome levels are raised in conditions other than cancer including in auto-immune disease, inflammatory disease, endometriosis, sepsis, and in the immediate aftermath of major trauma (for example following a heart attack, surgery or car accident). The Company’s primary focus is on cancer diagnosis but we also intend to pursue diagnostic opportunities in other disease areas.


The Company is in the process of developing the following NuQTM blood test products that fall into 3 main types and are intended to be used together to complement each other and to provide a total solution.  To date, we do not have any products available for sale on either the IVD or RUO market.


·

NuQ-XTM :  We are currently developing one blood test in the NuQ-XTM family to detect the presence of cancer by detecting nucleosomes containing specific nucleotides.


·

NuQ-VTM : We are currently developing four blood tests in the NuQ-VTM family to detect cancer and nucleosomes containing specific histone variants.  Through our research, we have found that the pattern of blood levels of the different types of histone variants in nucleosomes is different for different cancer types.  


·

NuQ-MTM :  We are currently developing one blood test in the NuQ-MTM family to detect cancer by detecting nucleosomes containing modified histones, the proteins that package and order DNA into nucleosomes.  Our development work with this family of tests is at an earlier stage of development than the other family of tests and we hope to develop several other tests within this family in the future.


Generally, the above tests are being developed to work together in the following manner: 1) The basic NuQ-XTM test will be used as a frontline test for the presence of nucleosomes in the blood for the detection of cancer; 2) If the results of this test are negative, there is no cancer and further testing is unnecessary; 3) If the results of the NuQ-XTM test are positive, the patient may have cancer but further testing to detect cancer and to determine the specific subtype of cancer will need to be done using the NuQ-V TM tests and the NuQ-M TM test in conjunction (collectively called the “NuQTM panel”).  To date, we have used the NuQ-XTM test and NuQTM panel prototypes to test a small number of blood samples taken from lung, colon, and pancreatic cancer patients.  


Early Clinical Studies


Early clinical studies of the NuQ-XTM test prototype for the presence of circulating nucleosomes in the blood have been carried out on blood samples from 19 cancer patients (including lung, colon and pancreatic cancers) and 20 healthy patient controls.  In these studies, a result was deemed positive if the level of circulating nucleosomes detected in the blood of a patient was elevated above the maximum level of the normal range expected of healthy people as commonly defined (the mean ± 2 standard deviations of the mean which statistically includes 95% of normal people). All tests were performed in duplicate.  The results are shown in the graph below (bars show the error of duplicate analysis).

Figure 2 – Results of NuQ-XTM test prototype clinical study carried out internally by the Company’s scientists at its laboratory in Belgium.


Figure 2 shows the Optical Density (colour) result produced in the NuQ-XTM test of serum samples taken from healthy volunteers and subjects diagnosed with lung, colon or pancreatic cancer (as well as positive and negative control samples). Blood samples were taken and the serum was separated in the usual way - approximately 10mL blood was drawn by venepuncture into a glass tube and allowed to clot. The tube was centrifuged for approximately 10 minutes at approximately 3000 x g. The serum was removed to a plastic tube and frozen until analysed by ELISA.  10µL (0.01 mL) of serum was tested using the Nucleosomics ELISA procedure. This was a typical ELISA analytical procedure using 2 antibodies that bind to nucleosomes. The first antibody is immobilised on a plastic surface and the second antibody is linked to a detectable enzyme to monitor antibody nucleosome binding. Uniformly low antibody-nucleosome binding was detected in samples from healthy subjects. Higher antibody-nucleosome binding was detected in samples from subjects diagnosed with cancer.


In addition, 12 other disease patient controls (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) were tested using the NuQ-XTM test. Some patients were positive for nucleosomes, but these nucleosomes were found to contain different proportions of histone variants and histone modifications and were distinguishable from cancer nucleosomes using the prototype NuQTM panel. This involved a further four ELISA tests on the same samples to determine the relative proportions of four different types of nucleosomes in the samples.


The studies were carried out internally by the Company’s scientists at its laboratory in Belgium using a small number of patient samples from two hospitals in Belgium and samples taken from healthy volunteers in the United Kingdom. The results of these studies have not been submitted to or published in any journals (peer reviewed or otherwise). The Company intends to conduct large scale clinical validations, both retrospective and prospective, of these test prototypes for colon, lung, and pancreatic cancers as well as additional cancer types.


NuQTM Research Kits


The Company is currently planning the manufacture of its first RUO products and intends to commence sales in the second quarter of 2012. The research products will be 96 well semi-manual kits of the the NuQ-XTM test, NuQ-VTM and/or the NuQ-MTM tests for the simultaneous analysis of 48 blood samples, the usual format for research products (a 96 well kit can be used to analyze some 48 samples as samples are tested in duplicate).  The most expensive component in the manufacture of products will be the pairs of antibodies employed.  Initially, we anticipate that these will be purchased or licensed at a cost of $14 - $94 USD per kit (for the lowest and highest cost per pair we are currently using), but the Company has commenced development of its own antibodies which we believe will reduce costs to less than $10 USD per kit. Other production costs are expected to be less than $30 USD per kit.  We expect total initial production costs to be around $50-$125 USD per kit and we anticipate a subsequent drop in the production price the first year to approximately $40 USD per kit, as the Company continues to develop its own antibodies. The selling price will be in the region of $700 - $1,200 USD per kit. Initially, we intend to manufacture 250 kits and begin to sell the kits in the second quarter of 2012 at a total cost of approximately $12,500 - $31,250 USD. Other than the antibodies, all of the components of the kits such as the box, bottles, and wells, will be the same for each test.  As of the date of this Report, the Company has not finalized any agreements for the manufacture of the kits.  A mock-up of a typical kit is shown in Figure 3 below.

Figure 3 – Example of Intended Product

The above photograph is an illustration of the Company’s intended products.  To date, the Company has no products available for sale on the IVD or RUO market and there is no guarantee that any such products will be developed or commercialized on either market.


The NuQTM research use kits will be designed to run on simple instrumentation available from a wide range of suppliers and found in most research laboratories and hospitals. Our own instrument, on which we develop and run the NuQTM tests is shown in Figure 4 below.

NuQTM Clinical Diagnostic Products


There are three main segments of the clinical IVD market that the Company intends to adapt its future NuQTM products to in the future.


Centralized Laboratory Market


Centralized laboratories test thousands of blood samples taken from patients everyday mostly using fully automated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (“ELISA”) systems, commonly known as random access analyzers, usually supplied by one of the global diagnostics companies.  Tests run on ELISA systems use components of the immune system and chemicals to detect immune responses in the body.  ELISA systems analyze thousands of blood samples every day and can run dozens of different ELISA tests in any combination on any sample and for many samples simultaneously.  The systems are highly automated and rapid (as little as 10 minutes for many tests), and can be run at low costs.  Additionally, ELISA instruments are used in all major hospitals throughout the U.S. and Europe and therefore, are well understood by clinicians and laboratory staff.  It is more cost-effective and technically simple for hospitals and clinics to run several blood samples simultaneously using ELISA tests compared to non-ELISA tests or alternative methods for screening cancer.  All of the NuQTM tests that we are in the process of developing are designed for ELISA systems.  A typical example of an ELISA system is shown below in Figure 5.



11




[f8ka3022312_8kz007.jpg]


One option that may be available to the Company in the future is to license our NuQTM technology on a non-exclusive basis to a global diagnostics company.   As of the date of this Report, the Company has not entered into any discussions or negotiations with diagnostic companies or established an anticipated timeframe for licensing our NuQTM technology.  


Another option that may be available to the Company is to sell manual and/or semi-automated 96 well ELISA plates for use by these laboratories.   As of the date of this Report, the Company has not entered into any discussions or negotiations with diagnostic companies for the sale of ELISA plates.  


·

Point-of-Care Devices:  Point-of-care devices are small instruments that perform tens of ELISA tests per day rapidly on blood taken from a finger prick.  The instruments can be found in any oncology clinic and tests can be performed during patient consultations. The Company intends to contract with an instrument manufacturer to produce these instruments for point-of-care NuQTM testing for the oncologist’s office, general doctor’s office or at home testing.  The Company hopes to enter the point-of-care clinical market in Europe in 2013 and in the U.S. in 2014, as the Company will first need to adapt its test prototypes to these small instruments and demonstrate their success in the greater diagnostics market before these products will be adopted by others in the industry.   At this stage of its development, the Company cannot accurately predict the costs to manufacture these devices or their selling price.   As of the date of this Report, the Company has not entered into any discussions or negotiations regarding the manufacture or sale of these devices.  See Figure 6 for an example of a point-of-care device.


[f8ka3022312_8kz008.jpg]

The above photograph is an illustration of the Company’s intended products. To date, the Company has no products available for sale on the IVD or RUO market and there is no guarantee that any such products will be developed or commercialized on either market.


·

Disposable Home Use or Doctor’s Office Tests:   Disposable home use or doctor’s office tests are single shot disposable devices which can be purchased over the counter at any chemist shop or pharmacy and test a drop of blood taken from a finger prick.  The test is administered at a doctor’s office using a point-of-care device or at home using a home testing kit, neither of which require laboratory involvement.  Thus, the patient experiences considerably lower costs using these tests as compared to traditional laboratory tests.  The format of the self-use home testing kit is very easy to use and reproduce and does not rely on laboratory processing.  There are currently no useful diagnostics tests suitable for mass screening for cancer in general through a simple self-use home testing kit.    Figure 7 below shows a basic home use test on the left which displays the results of the test in the two windows, similar to a pregnancy test. The test on the right is more sophisticated and plugs into a meter or the USB port of a computer for analysis and interpretation.

The above photograph is an illustration of the Company’s intended products. To date, the Company has no products available for sale on the IVD or RUO market and there is no guarantee that any such products will be developed or commercialized on either market.


The Company intends to contract with a specialist company to adapt the NuQTM test prototypes to the doctor’s office or home use system and to contract with a manufacture for the production of these tests.  As of the date of this Report, the Company has not entered into any discussions or negotiations with a specialist company or manufacturer.  Initially, the Company intends to sell these tests for professional use only (doctor’s office) and to sell the tests for non-professional home use at a later time.    The Company does not yet have an estimated timeframe for entering into this market.  Further, at this early stage of our development, the Company cannot accurately determine the manufacturing costs or selling price of these tests.    


HyperGenomicsTM


The Company is in the process of developing HyperGenomicsTM tissue tests to be administered once cancer has been detected to determine the specific subtype of disease and to help decide the most appropriate therapy. Selecting the correct treatment approach can significantly improve outcome, reduce side effects and deliver cost savings.   Currently, confirmation of the presence of cancer is done by cytology and immunocytochemistry which are time consuming and expensive.  Further, many biopsies taken to confirm the presence of cancer are negative and must be repeated.  HyperGenomics Pte Limited, a subsidiary of the Company, holds a worldwide exclusive licence to the patent application for the HyperGenomics technology from Imperial College, London. The HyperGenomicsTM tests for cancer will be performed on cancer tissue obtained either by biopsy or by surgical resection to determine the cancer subtype and to determine optimal treatment regimens.  The HyperGenomicsTM tissue tests are being developed to be able to characterize individual tumors by epigenetic profiling at a detailed and deep level and in a cost effective way.   


In regards to the RUO market, currently the HyperGenomicsTM test is in the prototype development stage.  Once the prototype development is completed (expected end 2012), the Company will then perform beta-testing which shall take approximately six (6) months to complete and will cost approximately $50,000 USD.  If beta-testing is successful, the Company expects its HyperGenomicsTM test to be rolled out onto the RUO market in Europe and in the U.S. in 2013.  The HyperGenomicsTM test is too early in its development for the Company to accurately determinate the manufacturing costs and sale price of the test.  


For the IVD market, the Company expects to work on the clinical proof of concepts and validations for the HyperGenomicsTM test in 2012.  The launch of the HyperGenomicsTM test into the IVD market in Europe and the U.S. will follow the commercialization of the test into the RUO market.  The estimated timeframe for its launch into the IVD market has not yet been determined and will depend upon the speed of clinical trials and market approval.


Endometriosis Test


Endometriosis is a progressive gynecological condition that affects one in ten women of childbearing age and approximately 176 million women worldwide. The disease is the leading cause of infertility in women, with up to 40% of all infertile women suffering from endometriosis.  There is currently no existing non-surgical diagnostic test for endometriosis.  Diagnosis is typically made via invasive and expensive laparoscopy, followed by a histological examination of any lesions found to confirm the diagnosis. Due to difficulties in this process, the diagnosis can take approximately 9 years from when the symptoms appear.  The lack of a suitable screening test has also held up development of a cure for the disease.  



13




Singapore Volition acquired the patent application for an endometriosis test (“NuQ Endo”) in June 2011 and the Company is now in the process of developing the test based on its existing NuQTM technology.  The NuQ Endo test is designed to be a simple blood test taken at two stages of a woman’s menstrual cycle, during menses and partway through the month. If the two measurements show quantitative differences in total nucleosome level, endometriosis is indicated.   Hypothesis-testing and clinical proof of concept work (to demonstrate that the test is feasible or has the potential to be used and effective) on the endometriosis test is currently being carried out in the Company’s laboratory. The Company will continue with validation of the NuQ Endo endometriosis test in 2012.  The Company will review the best ways of commercializing a product on the IVD market in the late first quarter of 2012 if the validations prove its diagnostic potential.   If the Company is successful in developing a reliable test, we hope to partner with large pharmaceutical companies to bring these tests to the IVD clinical market.   The NuQ Endo test is too early in its development for the Company to accurately determinate the manufacturing costs and sale price of the test.  The NuQ Endo test is not currently being developed for the RUO market.

Future Intellectual Property Strategy


The Company intends to continue its development of the NuQTM and HyperGenomicsTM technologies and will continue to apply for patents for future product developments.   The Company’s strategy is to protect the technologies with patents in Europe and the U.S.   Following product development, each product, based on the technologies, will be further protected individually by new patent filings worldwide.


We believe that this will provide:  


M arket exclusivity through a double layer of patent protection (primarily the protection of the underlying technology on which all the tests are based and, secondarily, specific patent protection for each future product).


·

A full 20-year protection for each new product developed (e.g. a NuQTM product developed in 2010 would continue to be protected in all markets until 2030, beyond expiration of the parent technology patent in 2023).

Government Approval


All of the Company’s intended products are designed to be non-invasive, meaning they cannot harm the subject other than through misdiagnosis.  The Company’s strategy is to begin selling its future products for RUO purposes, which requires no regulatory approval, while simultaneously going through the process of obtaining regulatory approval for IVD products to be used clinically on cancer patients.  Conformité Européenne (“CE”) Marking is a rough equivalent of the United States’ Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approvals process, although it is a somewhat lighter regime.  The Company will first focus on the regulatory process in Europe (CE Marking), due to the grant of the NuQTM patent in Europe and due to the lighter regulatory requirements to obtain CE Marking than to obtain FDA approval in the U.S.  This will be followed closely by the regulatory process in the U.S. and in the rest of the world.  In many territories, the European CE Mark is sufficient to place products on the clinical market and, where it is not, it often simplifies the regulation processes.  To date, the Company has not begun the CE Marking or FDA approval process for any of its tests currently under development.


Europe – CE Marking


Manufacturers in the European Union (“EU”) and abroad must meet CE Marking requirements, where applicable, in order to market their products in Europe.  The CE Mark certifies that a product has met EU health, safety, and environmental requirements which ensure consumer safety.  


To receive the CE Mark, the Company must meet certain requirements as set forth in the In-Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Directive which applies to the Company’s diagnostic products.  The requirements to procure CE Marking for In-Vitro Diagnostic Medical products are: (i) analytical validation of the products; (ii) clinical validation of the products (which can be retrospective clinical studies using biobank patient samples, i.e. blood samples from historic patients); (iii) implementation of regulatory compliant manufacture; and (iv) certification from the International Organization for Standardization (this last requirement is not technically required but will aid the regulatory approval process in Europe and the U.S.).  


The Company is currently engaged in requirements (i) and (ii) for the NuQ-XTM test and the NuQTM panel.  Requirements (iii) and (iv) are general requirements that apply to all of the Company’s intended products.  In compliance with the In-Vitro Diagnostic Medical Devices Directive and the CE Marking process, the Company has ensured that all development and validation is carried out in a manner consistent with regulatory approval.  Additionally, the Company has maintained proper records so that its future products can be approved as quickly and simply as possible.  The Company has engaged a regulatory advisor to lead in requirement (iv) for all of its future products.  All of these requirements must be completed prior to the submission of an application for CE Marking.  The Company will submit applications, which will contain a dossier of all relevant analytical, clinical and manufacturing data following retrospective clinical studies which will require a total of approximately six (6) months to complete.  We estimate the cost of obtaining CE Marking will be approximately $500,000 USD per test.  The Company expects that CE Marking for the NuQ-XTM test and NuQTM panel products will be applied for by the end of 2012.  Sales of our clinical products can occur in Europe once CE Marking has been granted.  


In Europe, IVD companies are able to self-certify that they meet the appropriate regulatory requirements and are subject to inspection for enforcement.   European national agencies, such as Customs authorities and/or the Departments of Health, Industry and Labor, conduct market surveillance to ensure the provisions of the applicable Directive have been met for products marketed within the European Union. In pursuit of this goal, surveillance authorities will: i) visit commercial, industrial and storage premises on a regular basis; ii) visit work places and other premises where products are put into service and used; iii) organize random checks; and iv) take samples of products for examination and testing.  If a product is found to be noncompliant, corrective action will depend on and be appropriate to the level of noncompliance.  Others responsible for the noncompliance of the product will be held accountable as well. Penalties, which may include imprisonment, are determined by national law.


U.S. – FDA Approval


The Company’s diagnostic products are designated as “medical devices” by the FDA. Among other things, the FDA regulates the research, testing, manufacturing, safety, labeling, storage, recordkeeping, pre-market clearance or approval, marketing and promotion, and sales and distribution of medical devices in the U.S. to ensure that medical devices distributed domestically are safe and effective for their intended uses. In addition, the FDA regulates the export of medical devices manufactured in the U.S. to international markets.  We estimate the cost of obtaining FDA approval to be approximately $825,000 USD per product.  FDA approval is more expensive and will take at least twice as long as CE Marking in Europe.



17




Unless an exemption applies, each medical device that we wish to market in the U.S. must first receive either clearance of a 510(k) pre-market notification or approval of a Product Market Application (“PMA”) from the FDA. The FDA’s 510(k) clearance process usually takes from three to twelve months, but it can take significantly longer and clearance is never guaranteed. The process of obtaining PMA approval is much more costly, lengthy and uncertain. It generally takes from one to three years or even longer and approval is not guaranteed.  The FDA decides whether a device must undergo either the 510(k) clearance or PMA approval process based upon statutory criteria. These criteria include the level of risk that the agency determines is associated with the device and a determination of whether the product is a type of device that is similar to devices that are already legally marketed.  Devices deemed to pose relatively less risk are placed in either Class I or II.  Class III devices are those devices which are deemed by the FDA to pose the greatest risk, such as life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices, have a new intended use, or use advanced technology that is not substantially equivalent to that of a legally marketed device.  In the U.S., cancer diagnostics are considered Class III products, the highest classification (in Europe, cancer diagnostics are not in the high classification group except for home use).  As such, most of the Company’s future products will likely have to undergo the full PMA process of the FDA.  


A clinical trial may be required in support of a 510(k) submission and is generally required for a PMA application. These trials generally require an effective Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”), from the FDA for a specified number of patients, unless the product is exempt from IDE requirements or deemed a non significant risk device eligible for more abbreviated IDE requirements. The IDE application must be supported by appropriate data, such as animal and laboratory testing results. Clinical trials may begin 30 days after the submission of the IDE application unless the FDA or the appropriate institutional review boards at the clinical trial sites place the trial on clinical hold.


Once the application and approval process is complete and the product is placed on the clinical diagnostics market, regardless of the classification or pre-market pathway, it remains subject to significant regulatory requirements. The FDA may impose limitations or restrictions on the uses and indications for which the product may be labeled and promoted. Medical devices may only be marketed for the uses and indications for which they are cleared or approved. FDA regulations prohibit a manufacturer from promoting a device for an unapproved, or “off-label” use. Manufacturers that sell products to laboratories for research or investigational use in the collection of research data are similarly prohibited from promoting such products for clinical or diagnostic tests.  


Further, our future manufacturing processes and those of our future suppliers will be required to comply with the applicable portions of the FDA’s Quality Systems Regulations, which cover the methods and documentation of the design, testing, production, processes, controls, quality assurance, labeling, packaging and shipping of our intended products. Domestic facility records and manufacturing processes are subject to periodic unscheduled inspections by the FDA. The FDA also may inspect foreign facilities that export products to the U.S.


The FDA has broad regulatory and enforcement powers. If the FDA determines that we have failed to comply with applicable regulatory requirements, it can impose a variety of enforcement actions ranging from public warning letters, fines, injunctions, consent decrees and civil penalties to suspension or delayed issuance of approvals, seizure or recall of our future products, total or partial shutdown of production, withdrawal of approvals or clearances already granted, and criminal prosecution. The FDA can also require us to repair, replace or refund the cost of products that we manufactured or distributed. Furthermore, the regulation and enforcement of diagnostics and equipment by the FDA is an evolving area that is subject to change. While we believe that we are and will continue to be in compliance with the current regulatory requirements and policies of the FDA, the FDA may impose more rigorous regulations or policies that may expose us to enforcement actions or require a change in our business practices. If any of these events were to occur, it could materially adversely affect us.

Product Development and Plan of Operations


NuQ-XTM Test:  


·

Research Use Only Market


o

The Company’s first intended product, the NuQ-XTM test for the presence of circulating nucleosomes based on our proprietary NuQTM technology is developed and the first beta-testing is complete. However, this NuQ-XTM test has since been improved with a new antibodies combination and the Company will start beta-testing on this improved test in the first quarter of 2012.  If beta-testing is successful, the test will be released into the RUO market as a research kit in the U.S. and Europe in the second quarter of 2012.  


·

In-Vitro Diagnostics Market


o

CE Marking (Europe):  In preparation for release into the IVD market in Europe, the NuQ-XTM test is expected to undergo large scale retrospective clinical validations during 2012 which shall take approximately nine (9) months to complete.  Once the retrospective validations are completed, the test will be submitted for CE Mark approval.  We estimate the cost of obtaining CE Marking will be approximately $500,000 USD.


o

FDA Approval (U.S.):  FDA approval in the U.S. is expected to require longer large scale prospective clinical validation studies and these will also be commenced in 2012 and are expected to be completed in 2014. When completed, the data will be submitted to the FDA for U.S. market approval.  We estimate the cost of obtaining FDA approval will be approximately $825,000 USD.


NuQTM Panel Tests:  


·

Research Use Only Market


o

The NuQTM panel of tests are in the final stages of development for the RUO market.  Beta-testing of the NuQTM panel tests is expected to begin the second quarter of 2012 and shall take approximately one month to complete.  The expected costs of beta-testing of the NuQTM panel tests total less than $20,000 USD. If beta-testing is successful, the Company intends to bring its NuQTM panel products to the research market during 2012 by selling the tests as research kits.  


·

In-Vitro Diagnostics Market


o

CE Marking (Europe): The NuQTM panel of tests have undergone the initial research phase and are in final stages of development and initial validation data for colon, lung and pancreatic cancers. The NuQTM panel tests are expected to undergo large scale retrospective clinical validations in colon, lung, and pancreatic cancers during 2012 and take approximately nine (9) months to complete.  Once the retrospective validations are completed, the tests will be submitted for CE Mark approval.  We estimate the cost of obtaining CE Marking will be approximately $500,000 USD.


o

FDA Approval (U.S.):  FDA approval is expected to require longer large scale prospective clinical validation studies and is expected to commence in 2012 and be completed in 2014. When completed, the data will be submitted to the FDA for U.S. market approval.  We estimate the cost of obtaining FDA approval will be approximately $825,000 USD.


In parallel with the large scale clinical validation studies for colon, lung, and pancreatic cancers, the Company will commence initial testing on further cancers in 2012 based on the Company’s NuQTM technology. These will be selected by medical need and commercial value and the first will be breast cancer. It is expected that, if initial clinical studies are positive, large scale retrospective (CE Mark) and prospective (FDA) clinical validation studies for breast cancer will commence in the third quarter of 2012. A rolling pipeline of products for different types of cancers is expected to be produced over the next three (3) to five (5) years.  



19




HypergenomicsTM Test:  


·

Research Use Only Market


o

Currently, the HyperGenomicsTM test is in the prototype development stage.  Once the prototype development is completed (expected end 2012), the Company will then perform beta-testing which shall take approximately six (6) months to complete and will cost approximately $50,000 USD.  If beta-testing is successful the Company expects its HyperGenomicsTM test to be rolled out onto the RUO market in Europe and in the U.S. in 2013.  The HyperGenomicsTM test is too early in its development for the Company to accurately determinate the manufacturing costs and sale price of the test.  


·

In-Vitro Diagnostics Market


o

The Company expects to work on the clinical proof of concepts and validations for the HyperGenomicsTM test in 2012.  The launch of the HyperGenomicsTM test into the IVD market in Europe and the U.S. will follow the commercialization of the test into the RUO market.  The estimated timeframe for its launch into the IVD market has not yet been determined and will depend upon the speed of clinical trials and market approval.


NuQ EndoTM Endometriosis Test:  


·

Research Use Only Market


o

The Company does not intend to bring the NuQ EndoTM test to the RUO market and instead will focus its efforts on bringing it to the IVD market.


·

In-Vitro Diagnostics Market


o

Currently, the NuQ EndoTM test is undergoing hypothesis-testing and clinical proof of concept work.  The Company expects to continue with validations for the NuQ EndoTM test in 2012.  Once the proof of concepts and validations are completed, expected end of 2012, the Company will then perform beta-testing which shall take approximately six (6) months to complete and will cost approximately $50,000 USD.  If the Company is successful in developing a reliable test, we hope to partner with large pharmaceutical companies to bring these tests to the IVD market in Europe and the U.S.  The NuQ EndoTM test is too early in its development for the Company to accurately determinate the manufacturing costs and sale price of the test.  The estimated timeframe for its launch into the IVD market has not yet been determined and will depend upon the speed of clinical trials and market approval.


NuQTM Clinical Diagnostic Products:


·

Centralized Laboratory Market


o

License of NuQTM technology to a global diagnostics company: The Company may license our NuQTM technology on a non-exclusive basis to a global diagnostics company. The approximate licensing fees have not yet been determined. As of the date of this Report, the Company has not entered into any discussions or negotiations with diagnostic companies or established an anticipated timeframe for licensing our NuQTM technology.


o

Sell manual and/or semi-manual ELISA plates to centralized laboratories: The Company may sell manual and/or semi-automated 96 well ELISA plates for use by centralized laboratories. The approximate manufacturing costs or sales price have not yet been determined. As of the date of this Report, the Company has not entered into any discussions or negotiations with diagnostic companies or established an anticipated timeframe regarding the sale of ELISA plates.  


o

Point-of-Care Devices:  The Company expects to enter the point-of-care clinical market in Europe in 2013 and in the U.S. in 2014.  The approximate manufacturing costs or sales price per device have not yet been determined.  As of the date of this Report, the Company has not entered into any discussions or negotiations regarding the manufacture or sale of these devices.



20




o

Disposable Home Use or Doctor’s Office Tests:  The Company intends to contract with a specialist company to adapt the NuQTM tests to the doctor’s office or home use system and contract with their manufacture.   The sale of these tests will initially be for professional use only (doctors) and will likely be released at a later time for non-professional home use.  The approximate manufacturing costs or sales price per test have not yet been determined.   As of the date of this Report, the Company has not entered into any discussions or negotiations with a specialist company or manufacturer.  The Company does not yet have an estimated timeframe for the manufacture or sale of these tests.  


If we do not have enough funds to fully implement our business plan, we will be forced to scale back our plan of operations and our business activities, increase our anticipated timeframes to complete each milestone or seek additional funding.   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 development of the current pipeline of intended products for the RUO market would be delayed, as would clinical validation studies and regulatory approval processes for the purpose of bringing products to the IVD market. In the event of an ongoing lack of financing, the Company may be obliged to discontinue operations, which will adversely affect the value of its common stock.


Sales and Marketing Strategy


The first use of our future NuQTM products will be for RUO, as the RUO market does not require government approval as opposed to the clinical IVD market.  We believe that by selling our intended products in the RUO market, we will drive awareness of our Company and our intended products which in turn, will lead to future sales in both the RUO and IVD clinical markets. The Company’s future products will be available for sale to researchers via the Company’s product website, http://www.nucleosomics.com. Initially, the Company will provide its products to carefully chosen opinion leaders to provide further validation and product feedback.


The Company will use the following methods to generate revenues from its intended products:


·

Direct Sales:  As the Company desires to launch its intended products into both the RUO and IVD markets as quickly as possible, direct sales will be the first path to market the future suite of NuQTM products as well as all of the Company’s other future products when they are first available for sale.   We hope to achieve initial sales through strong existing contacts and a dedicated product website.  As of the date of this Report, the Company has not begun direct sales or entered into any sales agreements for any of its intended products.


·

Product Sales Partners:   If the Company is able to sell its intended products, the Company will strive to carry out the  majority of its sales of diagnostic and research products through contracted sales and marketing partners. This will be organized by territory, by region and end user, e.g. clinical vs. research.   We estimate such partners will take approximately 30% to 40% of the sales prices of any products sold through these channels.  While initial discussions have been commenced, the Company has not finalized any formal partnerships.  


·

Distribution Agreements:  Distribution agreements will be used primarily in markets and territories where the Company has no real prospect of obtaining traction alone or where the entry barriers are high. The Company plans to enter into tightly drawn distribution agreements outlining the territory and sectors to be covered.  Control will be maintained by the Company through strict oversight and by centralized production centers that will provide supplies to distributors.  We estimate such distributors will take approximately 30% of the sales prices of any products sold through these channels.  As of the date of this Report, the Company has not entered into any distribution agreements.


The Company’s future products will require several dynamic and evolving sales models tailored to different worldwide markets, users and products. The Company has decided to focus its sales strategy on the initial RUO market in 2012 and develop a flexible strategy for its future IVD products through the later part of 2012.  We hope to progress ively grow to large volumes of tests sold to centralized laboratories and eventually reach the mass diagnostics testing market.  The exact nature of the ideal sales strategy will evolve as the Company continues to develop its intended products and seek entry into the RUO and IVD markets.


Government Regulations


The health care industry, and thus our business, is subject to extensive federal, state, local and foreign regulation. Some of the pertinent laws have not been definitively interpreted by the regulatory authorities or the courts, and their provisions are open to a variety of subjective interpretations. In addition, these laws and their interpretations are subject to change.



21




Both federal and state governmental agencies continue to subject the health care industry to intense regulatory scrutiny, including heightened civil and criminal enforcement efforts. As indicated by work plans and reports issued by these agencies, the federal government will continue to scrutinize, among other things, the marketing of diagnostic health care products. The federal government also has increased funding in recent years to fight health care fraud, and various agencies, such as the U.S. Department of Justice, the Office of Inspector General of the Department of Health and Human Services, or OIG, and state Medicaid fraud control units, are coordinating their enforcement efforts.


We will also be required to comply with numerous other federal, state, and local laws relating to matters such as safe working conditions, industrial safety, and labor laws. We may incur significant costs to comply with such laws and regulations in the future, and lack of compliance could have material adverse effects on our operations.


We believe that we have structured our business operations to comply with applicable legal requirements. However, it is possible that governmental entities or other third parties could interpret these laws differently and assert otherwise.


Competition


We anticipate fac ing competition primarily from large healthcare, pharmaceutical and diagnostic companies such as Abbott Laboratories Inc., Cepheid Inc., Philips, GE Healthcare, Siemens, Gen-Probe Incorporated, MDxHealth SA, EpiGenomics AG, Roche Diagnostics and Sequenom, Inc. We hope that our future products will have a competitive edge compared to those offered by competitors on the basis that our tests are being developed to be accurate, cost-effective, eas y to use, non-invasive, technologically advanced, compatible with ELISA systems, based on strong intellectual property and to be used for mass screening s.


Many of our anticipated competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources and larger, more established marketing, sales and distribution systems than we will have. Many of our future competitors also offer broad product lines outside of the diagnostic testing market and have brand recognition.   Moreover, our future competitors may make rapid technological developments that may result in our intended technologies and products becoming obsolete before we are able to enter the market, recover the expenses incurred to develop them or generate significant revenue. Our success will depend, in part, on our ability to develop our intended products in a timely manner, keep our future products current with advancing technologies, achieve market acceptance of our future products, gain name recognition and a positive reputation in the healthcare industry, and establish successful marketing, sales and distribution efforts.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS


RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY


We have not generated any revenue since our inception and we may never achieve profitability.


We are a development stage company and since our inception on September 24, 1998, we have not generated any revenue.  As we continue the discovery and development of our future diagnostic products, our expenses are expected to increase significantly. Accordingly, we will need to generate significant revenue to achieve profitability. Even as we begin to market and sell our intended products, we expect our losses to continue as a result of ongoing research and development expenses, as well as increased manufacturing, sales and marketing expenses. These losses, among other things, have had and will continue to have an adverse effect on our working capital, total assets and stockholders’ equity. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with our product development and commercialization efforts, we are unable to predict when we will become profitable, and we may never become profitable. Even if we do achieve profitability, we may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. If we are unable to achieve and then maintain profitability, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be negatively affected and the market value of our common stock will decline.


We may need to raise additional capital in the future. If we are unable to secure adequate funds on terms acceptable to us, we may be unable to execute our plan of operations.


We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements to the third quarter of 2012. If we incur delays in commencing commercialization of our intended products or in achieving significant product revenue, or if we encounter other unforeseen adverse business developments, we may exhaust our capital resources prior to this time.


We cannot be certain that additional capital will be available when needed or that our actual cash requirements will not be greater than anticipated. Financing opportunities may not be available to us, or if available, may not be available on favorable terms. The availability of financing opportunities will depend on various factors, such as market conditions and our financial condition and outlook. In addition, if we raise additional funds through the issuance of equity or convertible debt securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders could be significantly diluted, and these newly-issued securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of existing stockholders. If we obtain additional debt financing, a substantial portion of our operating cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on such indebtedness, and the terms of the debt securities issued could impose significant restrictions on our operations.  If we are unable to obtain financing on terms favorable to us, we may be unable to execute our plan of operations and we may be required to cease or reduce development or commercialization of any future products, sell some or all of our technology or assets or merge with another entity.



27




It is difficult to forecast our future performance, which may cause our financial results to fluctuate unpredictably.


Our limited operating history and the rapid evolution of the market for diagnostic products make it difficult for us to predict our future performance. A number of factors, many of which are outside of our control, may contribute to fluctuations in our financial results, such as:


·

The demand for our intended products;

·

Our ability to obtain any necessary financing;

·

Our ability to market and sell our future products;

·

Market acceptance of our future products and technology;

·

Performance of any future strategic business partners;

·

Our ability to obtain regulatory clearances or approvals;

·

Changes in technology that may render our future products uncompetitive or obsolete;

·

Competition with other cancer diagnostics companies; and

·

Adverse changes in the healthcare industry.


Our future success depends on our ability to retain our officers and directors, scientists, and other key employees and to attract, retain and motivate qualified personnel.


Our success depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified management and scientific personnel. In particular, we are highly dependent on Cameron Reynolds our President and Chief Executive Officer, our other officers and directors, scientists and key employees. The loss of any of these persons or their expertise would be difficult to replace and could have a material adverse effect on our ability to achieve our business goals. In addition, the loss of the services of any one of these persons may impede the achievement of our research, development and commercialization objectives by diverting management’s attention to the identification of suitable replacements, if any. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in hiring or retaining qualified personnel, and our failure to do so could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


Recruiting and retaining qualified scientific personnel and, in the future, sales and marketing personnel will also be critical to our success. We may not be able to attract and retain these personnel on acceptable terms given the competition among pharmaceutical, biotechnology and diagnostic companies for similar personnel. We also experience competition for the hiring of scientific personnel from universities and research institutions. We do not maintain “key person” insurance on any of our employees. In addition, we rely on consultants and advisors, including scientific and clinical advisors, to assist us in formulating our research, development and commercialization strategies. Our consultants and advisors, however, may have other commitments or employment, that may limit their availability to us.


We expect to expand our product development, research and sales and marketing capabilities, and as a result, we may encounter difficulties in managing our growth, which could disrupt our operations.


We expect to experience significant growth in the number of our consultants, advisors, and employees and the scope of our operations as we continue to develop and commercialize our current pipeline of intended products and new products.  In order to manage our anticipated future growth, we must continue to implement and improve our managerial, operational and financial systems, expand our facilities, and continue to recruit and train additional qualified personnel. Due to our limited resources, we may not be able to effectively manage the expansion of our operations or recruit and train additional qualified personnel. The expansion of our operations may lead to significant costs and may divert our management and business development resources. Any inability to manage growth could delay the execution of our business plan or disrupt our operations.


We have limited experience with direct sales and marketing and any failure to build and manage a direct sales and marketing team effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business.


We will rely primarily on a direct sales force to sell our future research and clinical products within the United States and abroad. In order to meet our anticipated sales objectives, we expect to grow our direct sales and marketing organization significantly over the next several years and intend to opportunistically build a direct sales and marketing force in certain international markets. There are significant risks involved in building and managing our sales and marketing organization, including risks related to our ability to:


·

Hire qualified individuals as needed;

·

Generate sufficient leads within our targeted market for our sales force;

·

Provide adequate training for effective sales and marketing;

·

Retain and motivate our direct sales and marketing professionals; and



28



·

Effectively oversee geographically dispersed sales and marketing teams.


Our failure to adequately address these risks could have a material adverse effect on our ability to increase sales and use of our future products, which would cause our revenues to be lower than expected and harm our results of operations.


Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation exculpates our officers and directors from certain liability to our Company or our stockholders.


Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation contain a provision limiting the liability of our officers and directors for their acts or failures to act, except for acts involving intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of law. This limitation on liability may reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our officers and directors and may discourage or deter our stockholders from suing our officers and directors based upon breaches of their duties to our Company.


Our internal controls may be inadequate, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public.


Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. As defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f), internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the principal executive and principal financial officer and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and includes those policies and procedures that:


·

pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company;


·

provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and/or directors of the Company; and


·

provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.


Our internal controls may be inadequate or ineffective, which could cause our financial reporting to be unreliable and lead to misinformation being disseminated to the public. Investors relying upon this misinformation may make an uninformed investment decision.


We have a “going concern” opinion from our auditors, indicating the possibility that we may not be able to continue to operate.

 

Our independent registered public accountants have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. This opinion could materially limit our ability to raise additional funds by issuing new debt or equity securities or otherwise. If we fail to raise sufficient capital when needed, we will not be able to complete our proposed business.  As a result we may have to liquidate our business and investors may lose their investments.  The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish its plan of operations described herein and eventually attain profitable operations.  Investors should consider our independent registered public accountant’s comments when deciding whether to invest in the Company.


RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS


Failure to successfully develop, manufacture, market, and sell our future products will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.


We are in the process of developing a suite of diagnostic tests as well as additional products.  To date, we have not placed any of our product prototypes on either the clinical or research market.  The successful development and commercialization of our intended products is critical to our future success. Our ability to develop, manufacture, market, and sell our future products successfully is subject to a number of risks, many of which are outside our control. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop and manufacture products in commercial quantities at acceptable costs, successfully market any products, or generate revenues from the sale of any products. Failure to achieve any of the foregoing would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.



29




Our business is dependent on our ability to successfully develop and commercialize diagnostic products. If we fail to develop and commercialize diagnostic products, we may be unable to execute our plan of operations.


Our current business strategy focuses on discovering, developing and commercializing diagnostic products.  The success of our business will depend on our ability to fully develop and commercialize the diagnostic products in our current development pipeline as well as continue the discovery and development of other diagnostics products.


Prior to commercializing diagnostic products, we will be required to undertake time-consuming and costly development activities with uncertain outcomes, including conducting clinical studies and obtaining regulatory clearance or approval in the U.S. and in Europe. We have limited experience in taking products through these processes and there are considerable risks involved in these activities. The science and methods that we are employing are innovative and complex, and it is possible that our development programs will ultimately not yield products suitable for commercialization or government approval. Products that appear promising in early development may fail to be validated in subsequent studies, and even if we achieve positive results, we may still fail to obtain the necessary regulatory clearances or approvals. Few research and development projects result in commercial products, and perceived viability in early clinical studies often is not replicated in later studies. At any point, we may abandon development of a product, or we may be required to expend considerable resources obtaining additional clinical and nonclinical data, which would adversely impact the timing for generating potential revenue from those products. Further, our ability to develop and launch diagnostic tests is dependent on our receipt of substantial additional funding. If our discovery and development programs yield fewer commercial products than we expect, we may be unable to execute our business plan, and our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected.


If the marketplace does not accept the products in our development pipeline or any other diagnostic products we might develop, we may be unable to generate sufficient revenue to sustain and grow our business.


Our intended products may never gain significant acceptance in the research or clinical marketplace and therefore may never generate substantial revenue or profits.  Physicians, hospitals, clinical laboratories, researchers or others in the healthcare industry may not use our future products unless they determine that they are an effective and cost-efficient means of detecting and diagnosing cancer.  In addition, we will need to expend a significant amount of resources on marketing and educational efforts to create awareness of our future products and to encourage their acceptance and adoption. If the market for our future products does not develop sufficiently or the products are not accepted, our revenue potential will be harmed.


The cancer diagnostics market is highly competitive and subject to rapid technological change, accordingly, we will face fierce competition and our intended products may become obsolete.


The cancer diagnostics market is extremely competitive and characterized by evolving industry standards and new product enhancements. Cancer diagnostic tests are technologically innovative and require significant planning, design, development, and testing at the technological, product, and manufacturing process levels. These activities require significant capital commitments and investment. There can be no assurance that our intended products or proprietary technologies will remain competitive following the introduction of new products and technologies by competing companies within the industry. Furthermore, there can be no assurance that our future competitors will not develop products that render our future products obsolete or that are more effective, accurate or can be produced at lower costs.   There can be no assurance that we will be successful in the face of increasing competition from new technologies or products introduced by existing comp anies in the industry or by new companies entering the market.


We expect to face intense competition from companies with greater resources and experience than us, which may increase the difficulty for us to achieve significant market penetration.


The market for cancer diagnostics is intensely competitive, subject to rapid change, and significantly affected by new product introductions and other market activities of industry participants. Our future competitors include large multinational corporations and their operating units, including General Electric, Philips, Siemens, and several others. These companies have substantially greater financial, marketing and other resources than we do. Each of these companies is either publicly traded or a division of a publicly traded company, and enjoys several competitive advantages, including:


·

Significantly greater name recognition;

·

Established relationships with healthcare professionals, companies and consumers;

·

Additional lines of products, and the ability to offer rebates or bundle products to offer higher discounts or incentives to gain a competitive advantage;

·

Established supply and distribution networks; and

·

Greater resources for product development, sales and marketing, and intellectual property protection.



30




These other companies have developed and will continue to develop new products that will compete directly with our future products. In addition, many of our future competitors spend significantly greater funds for the research, development, promotion, and sale of new and existing products. These resources allow them to respond more quickly to new or emerging technologies and changes in consumer requirements. For all the foregoing reasons, we may not be able to compete successfully against our future competitors.


Declining global economic or business conditions may have a negative impact on our business.


Continuing concerns over U.S. healthcare reform legislation and energy costs, geopolitical issues, the availability and cost of credit and government stimulus programs in the United States and other countries have contributed to increased volatility and diminished expectations for the global economy. These factors, combined with low business and consumer confidence and high unemployment precipitated a global economic slowdown and recession. If the economic climate does not improve or continues to deteriorate, our business, including our access to the RUO or clinical market for diagnostic tests, could be adversely affected, resulting in a negative impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.


Our failure to obtain necessary regulatory clearances or approvals would significantly impair our ability to distribute and market our future products on the clinical in-vitro diagnostics market.


We are subject to regulation and supervision by the FDA in the United States, the Conformité Européenne in Europe and other regulatory bodies in other countries where we intend to sell our future products.  Before we are able to place our intended products in the clinical in-vitro diagnostics markets in the U.S. and Europe, we will be required to obtain approval of our future products from the FDA and receive a CE Mark, respectively.  Delays in obtaining approvals and clearances could have material adverse effects on the Company and its ability to fully carry out its plan of operations.


Additionally, even if we receive the required government approval of our intended products, we are still subject to continuing regulation and oversight.  Under the FDA, diagnostics are considered medical devices and are subject to ongoing controls and regulations, including inspections, compliance with established manufacturing practices, device-tracking, record-keeping, advertising, labeling, packaging, and compliance with other standards.  The process of complying with such regulations with respect to current and new products can be costly and time-consuming.  Failure to comply with these regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.  Furthermore, any FDA regulations governing our future products are subject to change at any time, which may cause delays and have material adverse effects on our operations.   In Europe, IVD companies are able to self-certify that they meet the appropriate regulatory requirements but are subject to inspection for enforcement.  European national agencies, such as Customs authorities and/or the Departments of Health, Industry and Labor, conduct market surveillance to ensure the applicable requirements have been met for products marketed within the European Union.


We will rely on third parties to manufacture and supply our intended products. Any problems experienced by these third parties could result in a delay or interruption in the supply of our intended products to our customers, which could have a material negative effect on our business.


We will rely on third parties to manufacture and supply our intended products.  The manufacture of our intended diagnostic products will require specialized equipment and utilize complicated production processes that would be difficult, time-consuming and costly to duplicate.  If the operations of third party manufacturers are interrupted or if they are unable to meet our delivery requirements due to capacity limitations or other constraints, we may be limited in our ability to fulfill our future sales orders.  Any prolonged disruption in the operations of third party manufacturers could have a significant negative impact on our ability to sell our future products, could harm our reputation and could cause us to seek other third party manufacturing contracts, thereby increasing our anticipated development and commercialization costs.  In addition, if we are required to change manufacturers for any reason, we will be required to verify that the new manufacturer maintains facilities and procedures that comply with quality standards required by the FDA and with all applicable regulations and guidelines. The delays associated with the verification of a new manufacturer could negatively affect our ability to develop products or receive approval of any products in a timely manner.   As of the date of this Report, we have not entered into any agreements with third party manufacturers for the manufacture of any of our intended products.


The manufacturing operations of our future third party manufacturers will likely be dependent upon third party suppliers, making us vulnerable to supply shortages and price fluctuations, which could harm our business.


The operations of our future third party manufacturers will likely be dependent upon third party suppliers. A supply interruption or an increase in demand beyond a supplier’s capabilities could harm the ability of our future manufacturers to manufacture our intended products until new sources of supply are identified and qualified.



31




Reliance on these suppliers could subject the Company to a number of risks that could harm our business, including:


·

Interruption of supply resulting from modifications to or discontinuation of a supplier’s operations;

·

Delays in product shipments resulting from uncorrected defects, reliability issues, or a supplier’s variation in a component;

·

A lack of long-term supply arrangements for key components with our suppliers;

·

Inability to obtain adequate supply in a timely manner, or to obtain adequate supply on commercially reasonable terms;

·

Difficulty and cost associated with locating and qualifying alternative suppliers for components in a timely manner;

·

Production delays related to the evaluation and testing of products from alternative suppliers, and corresponding regulatory qualifications;

·

Delay in delivery due to suppliers prioritizing other customer orders over ours;

·

Damage to our brand reputation caused by defective components produced by the suppliers; and

·

Fluctuation in delivery by the suppliers due to changes in demand from us or their other customers.


Any interruption in the supply of components of our future products or materials, or our inability to obtain substitute components or materials from alternate sources at acceptable prices in a timely manner, could impair our ability to meet the demand of our future customers, which would have an adverse effect on our business.


We will depend on third party distributors in the future to market and sell our future products in markets outside of North America, which will subject us to a number of risks.


We will depend exclusively on third party distributors to sell, market, and service our future products in markets outside of North America. We are subject to a number of risks associated with reliance upon third party distributors including:


·

Lack of day-to-day control over the activities of third party distributors;

·

Third party distributors may not commit the necessary resources to market and sell our future products to our level of expectations;

·

Third party distributors may terminate their arrangements with us on limited or no notice or may change the terms of these arrangements in a manner unfavorable to us; and

·

Disagreements with our future distributors could result in costly and time-consuming litigation or arbitration which we could be required to conduct in jurisdictions with which we are not familiar.


If we fail to establish and maintain satisfactory relationships with our future third party distributors, our revenues and market share may not grow as anticipated, and we could be subject to unexpected costs which could harm our results of operations and financial condition.


If the patents that we rely on to protect our intellectual property prove inadequate, our ability to successfully commercialize our future products will be harmed and we may never be able to operate our business profitably.


Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to protect proprietary methods, discoveries and technologies that we develop under the patents and intellectual property laws of the United States, European Union and other countries, so that we can seek to prevent others from unlawfully using our inventions and proprietary information.  We have exclusive license rights to a number of patent applications related to our diagnostic tests under development, but do not have any issued patents in the United States and only one issued patent in Europe.  Additionally, the Company has patent applications authored by both Singapore Volition and Belgian Volition, which are also currently pending.  We cannot assure you that any of the pending patent applications will result in patents being issued. In addition, due to technological changes that may affect our future products or judicial interpretation of the scope of our patents, our intended products might not, now or in the future, be adequately covered by our patents.


If third parties assert that we have infringed their patents and proprietary rights or challenge the validity of our patents and proprietary rights, we may become involved in intellectual property disputes and litigation that would be costly, time consuming, and delay or prevent the development or commercialization of our future products.


Our ability to commercialize our intended products depends on our ability to develop, manufacture, market and sell our future products without infringing the proprietary rights of third parties. Third parties may allege that our future products or our methods or discoveries infringe their intellectual property rights. Numerous U.S. and foreign patents and pending patent applications, which are owned by third parties, exist in fields that relate to our intended products and our underlying methodologies, discoveries and technologies.



32




A third party may sue us for infringing its patent rights. Likewise, we may need to resort to litigation to enforce a patent issued or licensed to us or to determine the scope and validity of third party proprietary rights. In addition, a third party may claim that we have improperly obtained or used its confidential or proprietary information. The cost to us of any litigation or other proceeding relating to intellectual property rights, even if resolved in our favor, could be substantial, and the litigation could divert our management’s attention from other aspects of our business. Some of our competitors may be able to sustain the costs of complex patent litigation more effectively than we can because they have substantially greater resources. Uncertainties resulting from the initiation and continuation of any litigation could limit our ability to continue our operations.


If we are found to infringe upon intellectual property rights of third parties, we might be forced to pay damages, potentially including treble damages.  In addition to any damages we might have to pay, a court could require us to stop the infringing activity or obtain a license. Any license required under any patent may not be made available on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. In addition, such licenses are likely to be non-exclusive and, therefore, our competitors may have access to the same technology licensed to us. If we fail to obtain a required license and are unable to design around a patent, we may be unable to effectively market some or all of our future products, which could limit our ability to generate revenue or achieve profitability and possibly prevent us from generating revenue sufficient to sustain our operations.


If we are unable to protect our trade secrets, we may be unable to protect our interests in proprietary technology, processes and know-how that is not patentable or for which we have elected not to seek patent protection.


In addition to patented technology, we rely upon trade secret protection to protect our interests in proprietary know-how and for processes for which patents are difficult or impossible to obtain or enforce. We may not be able to protect our trade secrets adequately. Although we use reasonable efforts to protect our trade secrets, our employees, consultants, contractors and outside scientific advisors may unintentionally or willfully disclose our information to competitors. Enforcing a claim that a third party illegally obtained and is using any of our trade secrets is expensive and time consuming, and the outcome is unpredictable. In addition, courts outside the United States are sometimes less willing to protect trade secrets. We rely, in part, on non-disclosure and confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants and other parties to protect our trade secrets and other proprietary technology. These agreements may be breached and we may not have adequate remedies for any breach. Moreover, others may independently develop equivalent proprietary information, and third parties may otherwise gain access to our trade secrets and proprietary knowledge. Any disclosure of confidential information into the public domain or to third parties could allow our future competitors to learn our trade secrets and use the information in competition against us, which could adversely affect our competitive advantage.


RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMMON STOCK


The Company’s stock price may be volatile.


The market price of the Company’s common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could fluctuate widely in price in response to various potential factors, many of which will be beyond the Company’s control, including the following:


·

competition;

·

additions or departures of key personnel;

·

the Company’s ability to execute its business plan;

·

operating results that fall below expectations;

·

loss of any strategic relationship;

·

industry developments;

·

economic and other external factors; and

·

period-to-period fluctuations in the Company’s financial results.


In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common stock.


We do not expect to pay dividends in the foreseeable future.


We do not intend to declare dividends for the foreseeable future, as we anticipate that we will reinvest any future earnings in the development and growth of our business. Therefore, investors will not receive any funds unless they sell their common stock, and stockholders may be unable to sell their shares on favorable terms or at all. We cannot assure you of a positive return on investment or that you will not lose the entire amount of your investment in our common stock.



33




We may in the future issue additional shares of our common stock which would reduce investors’ ownership interests in the Company and which may dilute our share value.


Our Certificate of Incorporation and amendments thereto authorize the issuance of 200,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share. The future issuance of all or part of our remaining authorized common stock may result in substantial dilution in the percentage of our common stock held by our then existing stockholders. We may value any common stock issued in the future on an arbitrary basis. The issuance of common stock for future services or acquisitions or other corporate actions may have the effect of diluting the value of the shares held by our investors, and might have an adverse effect on any trading market for our common stock.


The Company’s common stock is currently deemed to be “penny stock”, which makes it more difficult for investors to sell their shares.


The Company’s common stock is currently subject to the “penny stock” rules adopted under section 15(g) of the Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to companies whose common stock is not listed on the NASDAQ Stock Market or other national securities exchange and trades at less than $5.00 per share or that have tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been operating for three or more years). These rules require, among other things, that brokers who trade penny stock to persons other than “established customers” complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security, including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain circumstances. Many brokers have decided not to trade penny stocks because of the requirements of the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing to act as market makers in such securities is limited. If the Company remains subject to the penny stock rules for any significant period, it could have an adverse effect on the market, if any, for the Company’s securities. If the Company’s securities are subject to the penny stock rules, investors will find it more difficult to dispose of the Company’s securities.


FINRA sales practice requirements may limit a stockholder’s ability to buy and sell our stock.


The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) has adopted rules that relate to the application of the SEC’s penny stock rules in trading our securities and require that a broker/dealer have reasonable grounds for believing that the investment is suitable for that customer, prior to recommending the investment. Prior to recommending speculative, low priced securities to their non-institutional customers, broker/dealers must make reasonable efforts to obtain information about the customer’s financial status, tax status, investment objectives and other information.


Under interpretations of these rules, FINRA believes that there is a high probability that speculative, low priced securities will not be suitable for at least some customers. FINRA’s requirements make it more difficult for broker/dealers to recommend that their customers buy our common stock, which may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity and liquidity of our common stock. Further, many brokers charge higher transactional fees for penny stock transactions. As a result, fewer broker/dealers may be willing to make a market in our common stock, reducing a shareholder’s ability to resell shares of our common stock.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION


MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


Liquidity and Capital Resources


As of September 30, 2011, Singapore Volition had cash of $959,090 and prepaid expenses of $353,500, and other current assets of $98,452.  Singapore Volition had current liabilities of $1,511,480, including $1,110,000 due in respect of stock issuances.  This translates into a working capital surplus, excluding prepayments of $353,500 and $1,110,000 due in respect of stock issuances, of $656,062, which means that our cash reserves are only adequate to fund operations for a limited period of time.  We intend to use our cash reserves to fund further research and development activities.   We expect to receive a certain amount of additional grant funds over the period to March 31, 2012, but this is not assured and otherwise we do not have any source of revenues as of September 30, 2011 and expect to rely on additional financing.   We are pursuing plans to seek further capital through the sale of additional stock; however we currently have not entered into a specific transaction and there is no assurance that we will complete such a transaction.


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 development of the current pipeline of intended products for the RUO market would be delayed, as would clinical validation studies and regulatory approval processes for the purpose of bringing products to the IVD market. 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 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. Some of these resources were acquired during the period ended September 30, 2011 and are reflected in the costs for that period, others have been acquired since, and others are dependent upon obtaining additional financing. 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 term objectives of the business plan, in particular the development of our intended products for the RUO market and 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 short term.

Operating Expenses

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Singapore Volitions’ operating expenses increased by $1,307,231, or 340.6%. Operating expenses are comprised of depreciation and amortization, salaries and office administrative fees, stock compensation, research and development expenses, and other general and administrative expenses.  Depreciation and amortization increased $77,615 during the period due to the acquisition of additional assets.  Salaries and office administrative fees increased by $806,492 due to the grant of options valued at $390,530 to certain key management and to additional staff and associated costs.   Stock compensation increased by $390,530 due to the grant of options to certain key management. Research and development expenses increased by $506,218 due to increased R&D activity. General and administrative expenses decreased by $5,479 due to a reduction in fees related to fundraising and business development, offset by increases in administrative and professional fees related to additional staff and business activity.  

 

Net Loss

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our net loss was $1,690,986, an increase of $1,307,231 or 340.6% over the comparative period from inception on August 5, 2010 through September 30, 2010. The change is a result of the changes described above.


Going Concern

 

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive acquisitions and 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.


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 the equity securities or arrange for debt or other financing to fund planned acquisitions and exploration activities.

 



36




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.


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.


Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements


In March 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2010-11 (“ASU No. 2010-11”), “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Scope Exception Related to Embedded Credit Derivatives.” The amendments in this Update are effective for each reporting entity at the beginning of its first fiscal quarter beginning after June 15, 2010. Early adoption is permitted at the beginning of each entity’s first fiscal quarter beginning after issuance of this Update. The Company’s adoption of provisions of ASU No. 2010-11 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.


In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-10 (“ASU No. 2010-10”), “Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments for Certain Investment Funds.” The amendments in this Update are effective as of the beginning of a reporting entity’s first annual period that begins after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company’s adoption of provisions of ASU No. 2010-10 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.


In February 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-09 (“ASU No. 2010-09”), “Subsequent Events (ASC Topic 855): Amendments to Certain Recognition and Disclosure Requirements.”  ASU No. 2010-09 requires an entity that is an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date that the financial statements are issued and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose a date, in both issued and revised financial statements, through which the filer had evaluated subsequent events. The Company’s adoption of provisions of ASU No. 2010-09 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.


In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06 (“ASU No. 2010-06”), “Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements.” ASU No. 2010-06 amends FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820 and clarifies and provides additional disclosure requirements related to recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements and employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009. The Company’s adoption of provisions of ASU No. 2010-06 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.


In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC Topic 505, “Equity”, where entities that declare dividends to shareholders that may be paid in cash or shares at the election of the shareholders are considered to be a share issuance that is reflected prospectively in EPS, and is not accounted for as a stock dividend. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods ending on or after December 15, 2009 and is to be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company’s adoption of the amendment to ASC Topic 505 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.



37




In January 2010, the FASB issued an amendment to ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure”, to require reporting entities to separately disclose the amounts and business rationale for significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and separately present information regarding purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures on a gross basis. This standard, for which the Company is currently assessing the impact, is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009 with the exception of disclosures regarding the purchase, sale, issuance, and settlement of Level 3 fair value measures which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010. The Company’s adoption of the amendment to ASC Topic 820 did not have a material effect on the financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.


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.

PROPERTIES


Our principal executive office is located at 150 Orchard Road, Orchard Plaza 08-02, Singapore 238841.  We currently rent this space for approximately $1,500 USD a month.  Currently, this space is sufficient to meet our needs, however, once we expand our business to a significant degree, we will have to find a larger space. We do not foresee any significant difficulties in obtaining any required additional space.   We do not currently own any real estate.


Belgian Volition currently rents laboratory and office space at Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix located at 61 rue de Bruxelles, B-5000, Namur, Belgium for approximately 778 EUR per month.  On January 31, 2011, Belgian Volition entered into a lease agreement with the University for a leasing term of one year.  On February 1, 2012, Belgian Volition entered into an amended leasing agreement with the University, extending the original lease for an additional three months.  Belgian Volition is looking to expand its facilities and is currently sourcing larger premises.  We do not foresee any significant difficulties in obtaining any required additional space.

Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert


The Company currently has an audit committee serving on its Board of Directors. However, the Company’s audit committee does not function as an audit committee should since there is a lack of independent directors on the committee and the Board of Directors has not identified an audit committee financial expert (as defined in Item 407 of Regulation S-K), who is knowledgeable about reporting and financial statements requirements, to serve on the audit committee due to the Company’s inability to attract such a person.


The Company intends to establish a new audit committee of the Board of Directors that shall consist of independent directors. The audit committee’s duties will be to recommend to the Company’s board of directors the engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s financial statements and to review the Company’s accounting and auditing principles. The audit committee will review the scope, timing and fees for the annual audit and the results of audit examinations performed by the internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm, including their recommendations to improve the system of accounting and internal controls. The audit committee shall at all times be composed exclusively of directors who are, in the opinion of the Company’s board of directors, free from any relationship which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment as a committee member and who possess an understanding of financial statements and generally accepted accounting principles.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

On August 6, 2010, Singapore Volition entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with PB Commodities Pte Limited (“PB Commodities”). At the time of the Agreement, Laith Reynolds (former Director of Singapore Volition), Cameron Reynolds (current President, CEO and a Director of VolitionRx Limited) and Rodney Rootsaert (current Secretary of VolitionRx Limited) were serving as Directors of PB Commodities.  (Subsequently, Mr. Cameron Reynolds resigned as a Director of PB Commodities on May 1, 2011 and Mr. Rootsaert resigned on September 20, 2011.)  The Agreement provides office space, office support staff, and consultancy services to Singapore Volition for the structuring, management, fundraising and development and implementation of its business plan.  In exchange, Singapore Volition shall pay an initial set up fee to PB Commodities of $11,250 USD.  Additionally, Singapore Volition shall pay $5,700 USD per month for office space and staff services as well as pay consultancy fees each month to PB Commodities for the services of Cameron Reynolds, Rodney Rootsaert and Patrick Rousseau (former Managing Director of Belgian Volition).  Singapore Volition is also required to pay for all reasonable expenses incurred.  The term of the Agreement is twelve months, commencing on September 1, 2010, with automatic extensions of twelve months and a three month notice required for termination of the Agreement.  A true and correct copy of the Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.07 to our Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on January 11, 2012 and is incorporated herein by reference.


On September 22, 2010, Singapore Volition entered into a Share Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with ValiRX, pursuant to which Singapore Volition shall purchase all shares held by ValiRX in ValiBio.  In exchange for the ValiBio shares, Singapore Volition shall pay $400,000 USD to ValiRX in four equal payments and stock with a value of $600,000 USD of Singapore Volition or a newly listed entity with the price per share to be determined by: a) the 30 day average closing middle market price immediately prior to the issuance of shares, if Singapore Volition or a newly listed entity following the merger or reverse takeover of Singapore Volition; or b) the average subscription price at which Singapore Volition has raised capital during the period of the Agreement, if Singapore Volition is not listed within 350 days of the Agreement; or c) the mutual consent of the parties in writing prior to the issuance.  The price per share will be determined by whichever of the above occurs first.  A copy of the Share Purchase Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.08 and is incorporated herein by reference.


On September 22, 2010, Singapore Volition entered into a Deed of Novation (“Deed of Novation”) by and among ValiRX, ValiBio and Chroma, pursuant to which the parties agreed that ValiRX’s rights, obligations and liabilities under that certain Patent License Agreement by and between ValiRX and Chroma dated October 3, 2007 shall be novated to Singapore Volition.  As consideration, Singapore Volition shall pay directly to Chroma 5% of each payment due to ValiRX pursuant to that certain Share Purchase Agreement dated September 22, 2010, per the terms of the Deed of Novation.  A copy of the Deed of Novation is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.09 and is incorporated herein by reference.

On June 9, 2011, Singapore Volition and ValiRX entered into a Supplementary Agreement to the Share Purchase Agreement between the parties dated September 22, 2010 (“Supplemental Agreement”), pursuant to which ValiRX shall transfer ownership of the ValiRX patent application for the “Method for Detecting the Presence of a Gynecological Growth” to Singapore Volition.  As consideration, Singapore Volition shall issue additional shares of its common stock or that of a newly listed entity to ValiRX with a value of $510,000 USD.   This issuance shall be made in addition to the issuance to be made to ValiRX pursuant to that certain Share Purchase Agreement dated September 22, 2010 and the price per share of the new issuance shall be determined by the terms of that Share Purchase Agreement.  A copy of the Supplemental Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.15 to our Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on January 11, 2012 and is incorporated herein by reference.


On August 10, 2011, Singapore Volition entered into a service agreement (the “Service Agreement”) with Volition Research Limited (“Research”), a 100% subsidiary of The Dill Faulkes Educational Trust, a registered UK charity (Charity No. 1070864).   Dr. Martin Faulkes (current Director of VolitionRx Limited) and Mr. Cameron Reynolds (current President, CEO and a Director of VolitionRx Limited) currently serve as directors of Research but do not receive any compensation in exchange for their directorship.  The Service Agreement provides for Research to perform services for Singapore Volition for a period of five years for $21,000 USD per year for an aggregate of $105,000 USD.  Such services require Research to liaison with various medical institutions to promote and raise the profile of Singapore Volition, build and develop long term relationships between UK and International cancer charities and Singapore Volition, and lobby government, health organization and other policy makers on behalf of Singapore Volition and promote the socially responsible ethos of Singapore Volition.  On August 11, 2011, the parties entered into a Settlement Agreement of the Service Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) agreeing to convert the $105,000 USD fees due to Research under the Service Agreement to 350,000 shares ($0.30/share) of common stock in Singapore Volition.  The value of the shares acquired were reassessed in accordance with US GAAP related party rules, which has resulted in an increase in their value to $1.00 per share and a corresponding increase in the value attributed to the services for the purposes of the accounts to $350,0000, or $70,000 per year.  True and correct copies of the Service Agreement and Settlement Agreement were filed as Exhibits 10.20 and 10.21, respectively, as part of our Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on January 11, 2012, and are incorporated herein by reference.


On October 1, 2011, Hypergenomics Limited entered into an agreement (the “Agreement”) with PB Commodities Pte Limited (“PB Commodities”). At the time of the Agreement, Laith Reynolds (former Director of Singapore Volition) was serving as a Director of PB Commodities. The Agreement provides office space and office support staff to Hypergenomics Limited for $1,450 USD per month. Hypergenomics is also required to pay for all reasonable expenses incurred.  The term of the Agreement is twelve months, commencing on October 1, 2011, with automatic extensions of twelve months and a three month notice required for termination of the Agreement.  A true and correct copy of the Agreement is filed hereto as Exhibit 10.27 and is incorporated herein by reference.


Other than the foregoing, none of the directors or executive officers of the Company, Singapore Volition or its subsidiaries, nor any person who owned of record or was known to own beneficially more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding shares of its common stock, nor any associate or affiliate of such persons or companies, has any material interest, direct or indirect, in any transaction that has occurred during the past fiscal year, or in any proposed transaction, which has materially affected or will affect the Company.


With regard to any future related party transaction, we plan to fully disclose any and all related party transactions in the following manner:

 

·

Disclosing such transactions in reports where required;

·

Disclosing in any and all filings with the SEC, where required;

·

Obtaining disinterested directors consent; and

·

Obtaining shareholder consent where required.


Director Independence


For purposes of determining director independence, we have applied the definitions set out in NASDAQ Rule 5605(a)(2).  The OTCBB on which shares of common stock are quoted does not have any director independence requirements.  The NASDAQ definition of “Independent Officer” means a person other than an Executive Officer or employee of the Company or any other individual having a relationship which, in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.  


According to the NASDAQ definition, Cameron Reynolds is not an independent director because he is also an executive officer of the Company.   Further, Dr. Martin Faulkes, Guy Archibald Innes and Dr. Alan Colman are not independent directors because they are stockholders of the Company.  Dr. Satu Vainikka and Kevin John Alexander, however, are independent directors.  Kevin John Alexander resigned as a Director of the Company on December 6, 2011.

ITEM 8.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


We know of no material, existing or pending legal proceedings against the Company, Singapore Volition or its subsidiaries, nor is the Company, Singapore Volition or its subsidiaries involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. There are no proceedings in which directors, officers or any affiliates, or any registered or beneficial shareholders, of the Company, Singapore Volition or its subsidiaries is an adverse party or has a material interest adverse to the interests of the Company, Singapore Volition or its subsidiaries.

MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON THE REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS


Common Stock


Our common stock is currently quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board. Our common stock has been quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board since April 12, 2007 under the symbol “SNDC.OB.”  Effective October 11, 2011 our symbol was changed to “VNRX.OB” to reflect the Company’s name change.  Because we are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board, our securities may be less liquid, receive less coverage by security analysts and news media, and generate lower prices than might otherwise be obtained if they were listed on a national securities exchange.


The following table sets forth the high and low bid prices for our common stock per quarter as reported by the OTCBB for 2010 and 2011 based on our fiscal year end December 31. These prices represent quotations between dealers without adjustment for retail mark-up, markdown or commission and may not represent actual transactions.

The Company has not paid any cash dividends on its common stock since inception and the Company presently anticipates that all earnings, if any, will be retained for development of our business and that no dividends on the Company’s common stock will be declared in the foreseeable future. Any future dividends will be subject to the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company and will depend upon, among other things, future earnings, operating and financial condition, capital requirements, general business conditions and other pertinent facts. Therefore, there can be no assurance that any dividends on the common stock of the Company will be paid in the future.


Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans

 

On February 20, 2004, the Company’s shareholders approved a Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”) whereby a maximum of 5,000,000 common shares were authorized but unissued to be granted to directors, officers, consultants and non-employees who assisted in the development of the Company. The value of the stock options to be granted under the Plan will be determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model. To date, no stock options have been granted under this Plan.  On October 6, 2011, the Plan was cancelled by written consent of the Board of Directors.

On November 17, 2011, the Company adopted and approved the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), for the directors, officers, employees and key consultants of the Company.  Pursuant to the Plan, the Company is authorized to issue nine hundred thousand (900,000) restricted shares, $0.001 par value, of the Company’s common stock.

ITEM 12.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


Indemnification Provisions of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation


A.

The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company) by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit, or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. The termination of any action, suit, or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, conviction, or upon a plea of no contest or its equivalent shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not act in good faith and in a manner which he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful.


B.

The Company shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company, or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of his duty to the Company unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.


C.

To the extent that a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Company has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in subparagraphs A and B, or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.


D.

Any indemnification under subparagraphs A and B (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances because he has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in subparagraphs A and B. Such determination shall be made (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such action, suit, or proceeding, or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable a quorum of disinterested directors so directs, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (3) by the stockholders.


E.

Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director, officer, employee, or agent to repay such amount unless it shall ultimately be determined that he is entitled to be indemnified by the Company as authorized herein.



59




Delaware Law on Indemnification


Delaware General Corporation Law provides, in general, that a corporation incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware, such as the Company, may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action by or in the right of the corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe such person’s conduct was unlawful. In the case of a derivative action, a Delaware corporation may indemnify any such person against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification will be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person will have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the State of Delaware or any other court in which such action was brought determines such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses.


Regarding indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 which may be permitted for directors or officers pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we are informed that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy, as expressed in the Act and is therefore unenforceable.


ITEM 13.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA


The information provided below in Item 9.01 of this Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A is incorporated by reference into this Item 13.


ITEM 14.

CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE


On November 29, 2011, Sadler, Gibb & Associates, LLC (“SG&A”) was engaged as the registered independent public accountant for the Company and Madsen & Associates, CPA's Inc. (“M&A”) was dismissed as the registered independent public accountant for the Company. The decisions to appoint SG&A and dismiss M&A were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on November 23, 2011.


Other than the disclosure of uncertainty regarding the ability for us to continue as a going concern which was included in our accountant’s report on the financial statements of the Company for the years ended August 31, 2011 and 2010, M&A’s reports on the financial statements of the Company for the years ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. For the two most recent fiscal years and any subsequent interim period through M&A's termination on November 29, 2011, M&A disclosed the uncertainty regarding the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern in its accountant’s report on the financial statements.


In connection with the audit and review of the financial statements of the Company through November 29, 2011, there were no disagreements on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to make reference in connection with M&A's opinion to the subject matter of the disagreement.


In connection with the audited financial statements of the Company for the years ended August 31, 2011 and 2010 and interim unaudited financial statements through November 29, 2011, there have been no reportable events with the Company as set forth in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.


Prior to November 29, 2011, the Company did not consult with SG&A regarding (1) the application of accounting principles to specified transactions, (2) the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements, (3) written or oral advice was provided that would be an important factor considered by the Company in reaching a decision as to an accounting, auditing or financial reporting issues, or (4) any matter that was the subject of a disagreement between the Company and its predecessor auditor as described in Item 304(a)(1)(iv) or a reportable event as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.


The Company provided a copy of the foregoing disclosures to M&A prior to the date of filing of a Current Report on Form 8-K on November 30, 2011 (the “Form 8-K Report”), and requested that M&A furnish it with a letter addressed to the Securities & Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agreed with the statements in the Form 8-K Report. A copy of the letter furnished in response to that request was filed as Exhibit 16.1 to the Form 8-K Report and is incorporated herein by reference.
