PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

The following summary highlights material information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. This summary does not contain all of the information you should consider before investing in our common stock. Before making an investment decision, you should read the entire prospectus carefully, including the “Risk Factors” section, the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. You should also review the other available information referred to in the section entitled “Where You Can Find More Information” in this prospectus and any amendment or supplement hereto. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms the “Company,” “VolitionRX,” “VNRX,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer and relate to VolitionRX Limited, together with our wholly owned subsidiary, Singapore Volition Pte Limited, and its two subsidiaries, Belgian Volition SA and HyperGenomics Pte Limited.


The Company Overview


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.


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 carries on the business of Singapore Volition as its primary business.  Singapore Volition has two subsidiaries, Belgian Volition SA, a Belgium registered company (“Belgian Volition”), which it acquired as of September 22, 2010, and HyperGenomics Pte Limited, a Singapore registered company (“HyperGenomics Pte Limited”), which it formed as of March 7, 2011.  


On September 22, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate for Renewal and Revival of Charter with Secretary of State of Delaware.  Pursuant to Section 312(1) of 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.


The Company is a now 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.


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 significant 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.

RISK FACTORS


Investment in our common stock involves significant risk. You should carefully consider the information described in the following risk factors, together with the other information appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, before making an investment decision regarding our common stock. If any of the events or circumstances described in these risks actually occur, our business, financial conditions, results of operations and future growth prospects would likely be materially and adversely affected. In these circumstances, the market price of our common stock could decline, and you may lose all or a part of your investment in our common stock.


RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR COMPANY


We have not generated any significant 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 significant 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 fourth 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.


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

·

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.




6






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.


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.




7






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 companies 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.


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.




8






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 Amended Registration Statement, we have not entered into any agreements with third party manufacturers for the manufacture of any of our intended products.




9






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.


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.




10






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.


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.




11






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.


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.


DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE


The prices at which the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus may actually be sold will be determined by the prevailing public market price for shares of common stock, by negotiations between the Selling Shareholders and buyers of our common stock in private transactions or as otherwise described in “Plan of Distribution.”




12






USE OF PROCEEDS


We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the Selling Shareholders covered by this prospectus.  All proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock offered under this prospectus will be for the account of the Selling Shareholders as described below in the sections entitled “Selling Security Holders” and “Plan of Distribution.” We have agreed to bear the expenses relating to the registration of the common stock for the Selling Shareholders.

 

To the extent the Selling Shareholders exercise all of the Warrants covering the 370,744 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of all of the Warrants held by such Selling Shareholders, we would receive $2.60 per share from the exercise of the Investor Warrants and $1.75 per share from the exercise of the Placement Warrants, or such lower price as may result from the anti-dilution protection features of such Warrants.  The Warrants may expire without having been exercised. Even if some or all of these Warrants are exercised, we cannot predict when they will be exercised and when we would receive the proceeds. We intend to use any proceeds we receive upon exercise of the warrants for general working capital and other corporate purposes.


SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS


This prospectus covers the resale by our Selling Shareholders of 1,058,845 shares of common stock, including: (i) up to 688,101 shares (the “Purchased Shares”) of common stock previously issued at a price of $1.75 per share to the Selling Shareholders in connection with a private placement that closed on May 11, 2012; (ii) up to 344,059 shares (the “Investor Warrant Shares”) of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding investor’s warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) at an exercise price of $2.60 that were previously issued to the Selling Shareholders in connection with a private placement that closed on May 11, 2012; and (iii) up to 26,685 shares (the “Placement Warrant Shares”) of common stock issuable upon the exercise of outstanding placement agent’s warrants (the “Placement Warrants”) at an exercise price of $1.75 that were previously issued to the placement agent pursuant to an engagement agreement dated May 10, 2012.  (The Investor Warrants and Placement Warrants are referred to collectively as the “Warrants” and the Investor Warrant Shares and Placement Warrant Shares issuable under the Warrants are referred to collectively as the “Warrant Shares”).


The following table sets forth, as to each of the Selling Shareholders, the number of shares of our common stock and Warrants held of record by the Selling Shareholder as of  October 1, 2012, assuming full exercise of all of the Warrants held by such Selling Shareholder on that date; the number of shares of our common stock being offered by such Selling Shareholder pursuant to this prospectus; the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned by the Selling Shareholder upon completion of the offering and the percentage of beneficial ownership of the Shareholder upon completion of the offering, based upon 10,249,931 shares of our common stock outstanding as of  October 1, 2012, assuming full exercise of all Warrants held by the Selling Shareholders and outstanding on that date. The shares being offered hereby are being registered to permit public secondary trading, and the Selling Shareholders may offer all or part of the shares for resale from time to time. However, the Selling Shareholders are under no obligation to sell all or any portion of such shares nor are the Selling Shareholders obligated to sell any shares immediately upon effectiveness of this prospectus.  All information with respect to share ownership has been furnished by the Selling Shareholders.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION; TERMS OF THE OFFERING


The Selling Shareholders and any of their pledgees, donees, transferees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or quoted or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. The Selling Shareholders may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:


·

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits investors;

·

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

·

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

·

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

·

privately negotiated transactions;

·

to cover short sales made after the date that this Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission;

·

broker-dealers may agree with the Selling Shareholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

·

a combination of any such methods of sale; and

·

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.


The Selling Shareholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus.



15






Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Shareholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Shareholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The Selling Shareholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved.


The Selling Shareholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the Shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time under this prospectus, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933 amending the list of selling shareholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus.


Upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Shareholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer for the sale of common stock through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing (i) the name of each such Selling Shareholders and of the participating broker-dealer(s), (ii) the number of shares involved, (iii) the price at which such the shares of common stock were sold, (iv) the commissions paid or discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s), where applicable, (v) that such broker-dealer(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus, and (vi) other facts material to the transaction. In addition, upon the Company being notified in writing by a Selling Shareholder that a donee or pledgee intends to sell more than 500 shares of common stock, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed if then required in accordance with applicable securities law.


The Selling Shareholders also may transfer the shares of common stock in other circumstances, in which case the transferees, pledgees or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.


DILUTION


The Selling Shareholders are offering for resale up to 688,101 shares of common stock and 370,744 Warrant Shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of the outstanding Warrants.   The resale of the current outstanding shares of common stock under this prospectus will not dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders.  To the extent the Warrants are exercised, existing shareholders will experience dilution to their ownership interests in the Company.


DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY


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 rented laboratory and office space at Facultés Universitaires Notre-Dame de la Paix located at 61 rue de Bruxelles, B-5000, Namur, Belgium for approximately $1,007 USD (778 EUR) per month pursuant to a lease entered into with the University on January 31, 2011 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.  On January 26, 2012 Belgian Volition entered into a new lease agreement to maintain its existing laboratory space only at the University for $1,294 USD (1,000 EUR) per month commencing April 1, 2012 for a leasing term of one year.


On February 29, 2012, Belgian Volition entered into a lease agreement for larger laboratory and office space at 20A Rue de Séminaire, 5000, Namur, Belgium for approximately $4,960 USD (3,833 EUR) per month commencing April 1, 2012 for a leasing term of thirty two months.

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 carries on the business of Singapore Volition as its primary business.  Singapore Volition has two subsidiaries, Belgian Volition SA, a Belgium registered company (“Belgian Volition”) which it acquired as of September 22, 2010, and HyperGenomics Pte Limited, a Singapore registered company (“HyperGenomics Pte Limited”), which it formed as of March 7, 2011.  


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.


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 significant 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 $8 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 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 $172,194 on research and development activities.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company spent $1,508,870 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.  


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.

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 cells7.


[prospectussupp102612_424b002.jpg]

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.

20





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).


[prospectussupp102612_424b004.gif]


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).


On August 6, 2012, Belgian Volition signed an agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Biobank of CHU UCL Mont-Godinne (“Mont-Godinne”), an academic hospital in Yvoir, Belgium, to commence a large scale clinical trial to develop and clinically evaluate the Company’s suite of NuQTM epigenetic blood tests (NuQ-XTM, NuQ-VTM, and NuQ-MTM tests) for the early detection and prognosis of colorectal cancer.  The trial began in early September 2012, and is scheduled for completion in 2013. The trial will be a prospective longitudinal study including approximately 250 patients as they progress through diagnosis and treatment, and aims to distinguish between patients with colorectal cancer and those with digestive conditions presenting similar symptoms. Belgian Volition shall pay an administration and handling fee of $127 USD (100)/per sample to Mont-Godinne. A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.27 and is incorporated herein by reference.

NuQTM Research Kits


The Company is currently planning the manufacture of its first RUO products and intends to commence sales in 2012. The research products will be 96 well semi-manual kits of 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 - $110 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 as summarized in Table 1.  We expect total initial production costs to be around $50-$140 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. The NuQTM assay technology is proprietary to the Company so no direct competition exists.  However, some competitors manufacture simple generic modified histone ELISA kits which are the closest competitors currently on the market to the Company’s intended NuQ-MTM products. The generic products offered by competitors do not measure modified histones in intact nucleosomes but require chemical extraction of histones from samples prior to use. Currently, such products sell in the U.S. market for between $400 - $475 USD per kit (and even higher in Europe).  We intend to sell our NuQTM research kits at a higher market price because:


1.

All of the NuQTM products are protected by multiple patents giving the Company market exclusivity;

2.

NuQ-MTM kits are designed to detect modified histones in intact nucleosomes without any sample pre-extraction steps and are hence much easier to use; and

3.

The NuQ-VTM and NuQ-XTM tests are designed to detect histone variants and other nucleosome structures for which there are no current competitors that the Company is aware of.


The Company has purchased the components to manufacture 250 NuQ-XTM test kits internally at the Company’s laboratory in Belgium for beta-testing at a total cost of approximately $33,000 USD. A table of the components of the kits and approximate costs are summarized in Table 1 below. If beta-testing is successful, the Company will begin to sell the kits in 2012.  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.

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.




23






[prospectussupp102612_424b007.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 Amended Registration Statement, 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 Amended Registration Statement, 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 2014 and in the U.S. in 2015, 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 Amended Registration Statement, 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.


[prospectussupp102612_424b008.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.

[prospectussupp102612_424b009.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.


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 Amended Registration Statement, 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.    


HyperGenomicsÒ


The Company is in the process of developing HyperGenomicsÒ tissue and blood-based 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 HyperGenomicsÒ 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 HyperGenomicsÒ 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 HyperGenomicsÒ 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 HyperGenomicsÒ test to be rolled out onto the RUO market in Europe and in the U.S. in 2013.  The HyperGenomicsÒ 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 HyperGenomicsÒ test in 2012.  The launch of the HyperGenomicsÒ 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.  



25






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 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 HyperGenomicsÒ 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:  


·

Market 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 or the first half of 2013.  Sales of our clinical products can occur in Europe once CE Marking has been granted.  




29






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.


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.




30






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 testing has led to some production and formulation improvements which the Company is now implementing and the Company will start beta-testing on this improved test in the fourth 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 fourth 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 in 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 or the first quarter of 2013 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.




31






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 fourth 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.  


HyperGenomicsÒ Test:  


·

Research Use Only Market


o

Currently, the HyperGenomicsÒ 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 HyperGenomicsÒ test to be rolled out onto the RUO market in Europe and in the U.S. in 2013.  The HyperGenomicsÒ 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 HyperGenomicsÒ test in 2012.  The launch of the HyperGenomicsÒ 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 and large scale clinical trials 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 Amended Registration Statement, 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 Amended Registration Statement, 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 2014 and in the U.S. in 2015.  The approximate manufacturing costs or sales price per device have not yet been determined.  As of the date of this Amended Registration Statement, the Company has not entered into any discussions or negotiations regarding the manufacture or sale of these devices.


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 Amended Registration Statement, 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 Amended Registration Statement, the Company has not begun direct sales or entered into any sales agreements for any of its intended products.  The Company hired a Sales and Marketing Director on September 1, 2012, whose remit is the direct sales of the Company’s first research products.



33






·

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 Amended Registration Statement, 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 progressively 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.


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 facing 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, easy to use, non-invasive, technologically advanced, compatible with ELISA systems, based on strong intellectual property and to be used for mass screenings.


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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011


As of December 31, 2011, the Company had cash of $347,892 and non-cash prepaid expenses of $320,833, and other current assets of $30,749.  The Company had current liabilities of $534,364.  This represents a working capital deficit, excluding non-cash prepayments of $320,833, of $155,723. During 2012 to the date of the Company’s Transition Report for the transition period from September 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011 on Form 10-KT originally filed with the SEC on April 16, 2012 (the “Form 10-KT”), the Company received subscriptions for 582,510 new shares totaling $1,019,375 before expenses, in connection with a private placement. As part of the same placement, consultants, employees and directors have agreed to convert $184,777 due for services into common shares on the same terms as the foregoing cash subscriptions. The placement closed on May 11, 2012, and cash expenses of the offering not already accounted for at December 31, 2011 amounted to $37,484. The Company therefore received additional working capital net of expenses from the placement of $1,166,668 subsequent to December 31, 2011.  Nevertheless, as of the date of the Form 10-KT, the Company’s 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 May 31, 2012, but this is not assured and otherwise we do not currently have any source of revenues and expect to rely on additional financing.  We are pursuing plans to seek further capital through the sale of additional stock by way of private placement; however, as of the date of the Form 10-KT, the placement has raised only a limited amount of funds and there is no assurance that we will be successful in raising further funds.


In the event that additional financing is delayed, the Company will prioritize the maintenance of its research and development personnel and facilities, primarily in Belgium, and the maintenance of its patent rights. However the 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.


For the six months ended June 30, 2012


During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, the Company received $1,019,375 in cash subscriptions for 582,510 new shares and 291,261 warrants at a price of $1.75 per unit in connection with a private placement. As part of the same placement, consultants, employees and directors converted $184,777 due for services into 105,591 common shares and 52,798 warrants on the same terms as the foregoing cash subscriptions. The placement closed on May 11, 2012, with the issue of 688,101 shares and 370,744 warrants for a total of $1,204,152. The Company commenced a further placement and received $268,000 in cash subscriptions for 153,144 new shares at a price of $1.75 per share prior to June 30, 2012.  Since June 30, 2012, in respect of the same placement, the Company has additionally received $664,250 in cash subscriptions for 379,575 new shares at a price of $1.75 per share, and certain directors have converted $22,250 due for services into 12,715 new shares at a price of $1.75 per share. The placement closed on July 31, 2012, with the issue on August 1, 2012, of 545,434 shares for a total of $954,500.



35






As of June 30, 2012, the Company had cash of $386,249 and current assets of $47,558, excluding non-cash prepaid expenses of $285,833.  The Company had current liabilities of $422,631.  This represents a working capital surplus of $11,176. Subsequent to June 30, 2012, the Company has received additional working capital of $686,500 from the shares that were issued on August 1, 2012. Nevertheless, as of August 14, 2012, the date of filing the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2012, the Company’s 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.  As well as the additional funding described in the preceding paragraph, we expect to receive a certain amount of additional grant funds over the period to November 30, 2012, but this is not assured and otherwise we do not currently have any significant source of revenues and expect to rely on further financing.   There is no assurance that we will be successful in raising further funds.


In the event that further 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


For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011


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 December 31, 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.

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 shareholders.


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.




39






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 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.


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 September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 to amend and simplify tests for goodwill impairment by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 to amend the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurement to (1) clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and (2) change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The primary purpose of the amendments is to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are to be applied prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


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.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

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.)  PB Commodities does not operate for profit.  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 ($8,000 USD), Rodney Rootsaert ($6,000 USD) and Patrick Rousseau - former Managing Director of Belgian Volition (2,000 EUR or approximately $2,814 USD).  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.  For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011, Singapore Volition paid approximately $105,000 USD and $288,000 USD, respectively, to PB Commodities.  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.

3)

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 (“DFET”). DFET is a company limited by guarantee (with no share capital or shareholders) and a registered UK charity (Charity No. 1070864) established to give back to the community.  Since its inception in 1998, DFET has donated approximately $25 million USD (£15.9 million GBP) to initiate and support a number of major charitable projects, bursaries and scholarships approved by the DFET Trustees, including The Faulkes Telescope Project, Church Bell Projects and various educational programs.  Neither Research nor DFET provide any services to companies other than Singapore Volition, its subsidiaries and affiliates.  Dr. Martin Faulkes (current Director of VolitionRx Limited) is the benefactor of DFET and currently serves as director and chairman of DFET and as a director of Research.  Mr. Cameron Reynolds (current President, CEO and a Director of VolitionRX Limited) currently serves as director of Research but is not now, and never has been, involved with DFET in any other capacity.  Messrs. Faulkes and Reynolds do not have any ownership, control or other material relationship, directly or indirectly, with Research or DFET.  Further, neither Dr. Faulkes nor Mr. Reynolds receives any compensation, directly or indirectly, from Research or DFET pursuant to the Service Agreement, in exchange for their directorships to Research or DFET, or otherwise. 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 through charitable donations, 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 to ensure Singapore Volition focuses on its corporate social responsibilities to the community.  Research does not operate for profit and does not pay any salary or other compensation to anyone, directly or indirectly, to perform the services.   Dr. Martin Faulkes performs the services on behalf of Research, however as stated above, he does not receive any compensation in exchange.  During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011, Singapore Volition paid Research a total of $0 USD and $8,750 USD, respectively, for its services.


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.  During the year ended December 31, 2011, Singapore Volition issued 350,000 shares to Research (issued on September 8, 2011).  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 USD per share and a corresponding increase in the value attributed to the services for the purposes of the accounts to $350,0000 USD, or $70,000 USD per year.  During the year ended December 31, 2010, Singapore Volition did not issue any shares to Research. 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.

The Agreement provides office space and office support staff to Hypergenomics Pte Limited for $1,450 USD per month. Hypergenomics Pte Limited 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.   For the fiscal years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2011 Hypergenomics Pte Limited paid approximately $0 USD and $8,700 USD, respectively, to PB Commodities.  A copy of the Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10. 27 to our Amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on February 24, 2012 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Mining House Limited (“Mining House”) provides consultancy and office support services to Singapore Volition for £1,450 GBP ($2,300 USD) per month commencing on November 1, 2010; additionally, Singapore Volition is required to pay for all reasonable expenses incurred by Mining House in providing these services.  Cameron Reynolds (current President, CEO and a Director of VolitionRx Limited), Rodney Rootsaert (current Secretary of VolitionRx Limited) and Laith Reynolds (former Director of Singapore Volition) serve as Directors of Mining House (Mr. Cameron Reynolds resigned September 30, 2011). Mining House does not currently provide any services to companies other than Singapore Volition, its subsidiaries and affiliates, but between 2006 and 2010 provided office support services to seven other companies.  Mining House does not operate for profit.  For the year ended December 31, 2011, Singapore Volition paid approximately £25,000 GBP ($40,250 USD) to Mining House split between £17,400 GBP ($27,600 USD) for consultancy and office support services and £7,600 GBP ($12,650 USD) for expenses.

By reason of their directorships of Mining House, Cameron Reynolds, Rodney Rootsaert and Laith Reynolds are each deemed to have received compensation in the form of one third (1/3) of the consultancy and office support services received by Mining House.  For the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, Cameron Reynolds, Rodney Rootsaert and Laith Reynolds are each deemed to have received £5,800 GBP ($9,200 USD) and £966 GBP ($1,533 USD) respectively. The amounts paid by Singapore Volition to Mining House per month are used to cover Mining House’s overhead costs and the hard costs and expenses incurred by Mining House in performing the consultancy and office support services including the costs of European mobile phone usage, office equipment, printing and reproduction costs, and associated office costs and expenses.  There is no written agreement by and between Mining House and Singapore Volition setting forth the terms of this arrangement.

COMMISSION POSITION ON

INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT LIABILITIES


Our Articles of Incorporation provide that we shall indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law and that none of our directors will be personally liable to the Company or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability:


·

for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the Company or its stockholders;

·

for acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of the law;

·

under Delaware General Corporation Law for the unlawful payment of dividends; or

·

for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit.




65






These provisions require us to indemnify our directors and officers unless restricted by Delaware law and eliminate our rights and those of our stockholders to recover monetary damages from a director for breach of his fiduciary duty of care as a director except in the situations described above. The limitations summarized above, however, do not affect our ability or that of our stockholders to seek non-monetary remedies, such as an injunction or rescission, against a director for breach of his fiduciary duty.


Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons pursuant to the foregoing provisions, we have been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

(The accompanying condensed consolidated notes are an integral part of these financial statements)

Note 1 - Condensed Financial Statements


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by VolitionRX Limited (the “Company”) without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at June 30, 2012, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.



F-4






Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December 31, 2011 audited financial statements.  The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.


Note 2 - Going Concern


The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has incurred losses since inception of $5,235,786 and currently has very limited revenues, which creates substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.


The future of the Company as an operating business will depend on its ability to obtain sufficient capital contributions and/or financing as may be required to sustain its operations. Management's plan to address this need includes, (a) continued exercise of tight cost controls to conserve cash, (b) receiving additional grant funds, and (c) obtaining additional financing through debt or equity financing.


The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.


Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company also regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.


Reclassification of Financial Statement Accounts


Certain amounts in the June 30, 2011 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the June 30, 2012 financial statements.


Principles of Consolidation


The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2012 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Singapore Volition Pte Ltd., Belgian Volition SA, and Hypergenomics Pte. Ltd.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.  As at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had $386,249 and $347,892, respectively in cash equivalents.


Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share


The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. As of June 30, 2012, 737,890 warrants and options were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as their effect is anti dilutive.


Foreign Currency Translation


The Company’s functional currency is the Euro and its reporting currency is the United States dollar. Management has adopted ASC 830-20, “Foreign Currency Matters – Foreign Currency Transactions”. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. For revenues and expenses, the weighted average exchange rate for the period is used.  Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in other comprehensive income (loss).


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued since the last audit of our consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.


Note 4 - Acquisitions and Subsidiaries


On September 22, 2010, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Singapore Volition Pte Ltd (“Singapore”) entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of ValiBio SA from ValiRx Plc in exchange for $400,000 and issuance of common shares of the Company with a fair value of $600,000, issuable when Singapore became a publicly-listed company.  The agreement closed on October 6, 2010.  Subsequent to the completion of the purchase, Singapore changed the name of ValiBio SA to Belgian Volition SA. The purchase price was recorded as a related party note payable until it was converted into shares of common stock in December 2011.


The Company allocated the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities.  It was determined that the carrying value of these assets approximated their fair value at acquisition. The remaining purchase price was then allocated to the acquired intellectual property, namely patents.

Note 4 - Acquisitions and Subsidiaries (Continued)


On March 7, 2011, Singapore formed Hypergenomics Pte Ltd. as a wholly-owned subsidiary which is a private company domiciled in Singapore. The purpose of the formation was to hold and develop a segment of the acquired patents.


On June 19, 2011, the Company amended its purchase agreement with Valirx Plc to include the purchase of additional patents in exchange for an additional $510,000 payable in shares of the common stock of Singapore Volition or a publicly-listed successor company. The purchase price was recorded as a related party note payable until it was converted into shares of common stock in December 2011.

 

On September 22, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate for Renewal and Revival of Charter with Secretary of State Delaware. 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.


On October 6, 2011, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Singapore Volition Pte Ltd., a Singapore corporation, and the shareholders of Singapore Volition. Pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, the Company has acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Singapore Volition’s common stock in exchange for 6,908,652 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a prior condition of this agreement, the Company arranged the cancellation of 1,073,000 common shares. Consequently the Company had 1,212,000 common shares issued and outstanding as of October 6, 2011 immediately prior to the closing of the share exchange agreement, and 8,120,652 shares issued and outstanding upon closing of the share exchange agreement.


As of the closing date, the former shareholders of Singapore Volition Pte Ltd. held 85% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. The issuance of the 6,908,652 common shares to the former shareholders of Singapore Volition Pte Ltd. was deemed to be a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. Singapore Volition Pte Ltd., the acquired entity, is regarded as the predecessor entity as of October 6, 2011. The number of shares outstanding and per share amounts have been restated to recognize the recapitalization. All comparative financial data in these financial statements is that of Singapore Volition Pte Ltd.

Attached to these share issuances were 52,798 warrants. Each warrant is immediately exercisable for a period of four years at a price of $2.60 per share. The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model using the following assumptions:  Four-year term, $3.31 stock price, $2.60 exercise price, 132% volatility, 0.82% risk free rate.  The Company has allocated $54,509 of the total $184,777 value of services to the value of the warrants.


During the six month period ended June 30, 2012, and subsequent to the above stock issuances, the Company also received cash subscriptions totaling $268,000 for 153,144 shares of common stock at a price of $1.75 per share.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 1,859,073 shares of common stock, at prices ranging from $0.50 to $1.20 per share, for net cash proceeds of $1,595,906.  Attached to various share issuances totaling 370,000 shares were 300,000 warrants.  Each warrant is immediately exercisable for a period of five years at $0.50 per share.  The warrants were valued using the Black-Scholes Option Pricing model using the following assumptions:  Five-year term, $0.50-$1.00 stock price, $0.50 exercise price, 190% volatility, 1.45% - 2.00% risk free rate.  The Company has allocated $73,791 of the total $150,000 in proceeds to the value of the warrants.


During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 434,726 shares of common stock to consultants, employees and directors for services. The stock was valued at $362,484, at prices ranging from $0.50 to $1.00 per share.  Values were 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.


During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued 350,000 shares of common stock to a related party in advance for services to be performed over a five year period to raise the profile of the Company through the development of relationships with medical organizations, cancer charities, government and other policy makers.  The shares were valued at $1.00 per share based on the most recent cash issuance price 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 value of the shares was recorded as a prepaid expense that the Company will expense 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.  During the six month period ended June 30, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, $35,000 and $29,167 has been recorded to professional fees leaving a balance of $303,333 as of March 31, 2012.

SADLER, GIBB & ASSOCIATES, LLC


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM


To the Board of Directors

VolitionRX Limited.

(A Development Stage Company)


We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of VolitionRX Limited as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity (deficit) and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  


We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.


In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of VolitionRX Limited as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.


The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 2 to the financial statements, the Company had accumulated losses of $3,502,583 as of December 31, 2011, which raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans concerning these matters are also described in Note 2. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

1.

Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business


The Company was incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware on September 24, 1998. On September 22, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate for Renewal and Revival of Charter with Secretary of State of Delaware. 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.


On October 6, 2011, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Singapore Volition Pte Ltd., a Singapore corporation, and the shareholders of Singapore Volition. Pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, the former shareholders of Singapore Volition Pte Ltd. held 85% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. The issuance was deemed to be a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. Singapore Volition Pte Ltd., the acquired entity, is regarded as the predecessor entity as of October 6, 2011. The number of shares outstanding and per share amounts has been restated to recognize the recapitalization. All comparative financial data in these financial statements is that of Singapore Volition Pte Ltd.


The Company’s principal business objective through its subsidiaries is to develop and bring to market their cancer detection blood tests. The Company is a development stage company as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (”ASC”) 915, “Development Stage Entities.” The Company has one wholly-owned subsidiary, Singapore Volition Pte Ltd., which it acquired through a share exchange entered into on October 6, 2011. Singapore Volition Pte Ltd. has two wholly owned subsidiaries, Belgian Volition SA, which it acquired as of September 22, 2010 (see Note 4 below), and Hypergenomics Pte Ltd., which it formed as of March 7, 2011. Following the acquisition of Singapore Volition Pte Ltd. the Company’s fiscal year end has been changed from August 31 to December 31. The financial statements are prepared on a consolidated basis.


2.   Going Concern


The Company's financial statements are prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America applicable to a going concern which contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company incurred a net loss of $2,608,463 during the year ended December 31, 2011, has incurred losses since inception of $3,502,583 and currently has no revenues, which creates substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.


The future of the Company as an operating business will depend on its ability to obtain sufficient capital contributions and/or financing as may be required to sustain its operations. Management's plan to address this need includes, (a) continued exercise of tight cost controls to conserve cash, (b) receiving additional grant funds, and (c) obtaining additional financing through debt or equity financing.


The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraph and eventually secure other sources of financing and attain profitable operations. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern. If the Company is unable to obtain adequate capital, it could be forced to cease operations.


3.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Basis of Presentation


The financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Company’s fiscal year end is December 31.


Use of Estimates


The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company regularly evaluates estimates and assumptions related to deferred income tax asset valuation allowances. The Company bases its estimates and assumptions on current facts, historical experience and various other factors that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the accrual of costs and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. The actual results experienced by the Company may differ materially and adversely from the Company’s estimates. To the extent there are material differences between the estimates and the actual results, future results of operations will be affected.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


Principles of Consolidation


The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Singapore Volition Pte Ltd., Belgian Volition SA, and Hypergenomics Pte Ltd.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


Reclassification of Financial Statement Accounts


Certain amounts in the December 31, 2010 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the December 31, 2011 financial statements.


Cash and Cash Equivalents


The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of issuance to be cash equivalents.  As at December 31, 2011, the Company had no cash equivalents.


Concentrations of Risk


The Company’s bank accounts are deposited in insured institutions. The funds are insured up to $250,000 USD. At December 31, 2011, the Company’s bank deposits did not exceed the insured amount.


Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share


The Company computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing Diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. As of December 31, 2011, 512,500 warrants and options were excluded from the Diluted EPS calculation as their effect is anti dilutive.


Foreign Currency Translation


The Company’s functional currency is the Euro and its reporting currency is the United States dollar. Management has adopted ASC 830-20, “Foreign Currency Matters – Foreign Currency Transactions”. All assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated using the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date. For revenues and expenses, the weighted average exchange rate for the period is used.  Gains and losses arising on translation or settlement of foreign currency denominated transactions or balances are included in other comprehensive income (loss).


Financial Instruments


Pursuant to ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, an entity is required to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the level of independent, objective evidence surrounding the inputs used to measure fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used to measure fair value:


Level 1


Level 1 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.





F-18






3.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


Level 2


Level 2 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated by, observable market data.


Level 3


Level 3 applies to assets or liabilities for which there are unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities.


The Company’s financial instruments consist principally of cash, amounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, notes payable, and amounts due to related parties.  Pursuant to ASC 820, the fair value of our cash is determined based on “Level 1” inputs, which consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The Company believes that the recorded values of all of our other financial instruments approximate their current fair values because of their nature and respective maturity dates or durations.


Income Taxes


Potential benefits of income tax losses are not recognized in the accounts until realization is more likely than not. The Company has adopted ASC 740 “Accounting for Income Taxes” as of its inception. Pursuant to ASC 740, the Company is required to compute tax asset benefits for net operating losses carried forward. The potential benefits of net operating losses have not been recognized in this financial statement because the Company cannot be assured it is more likely than not it will utilize the net operating losses carried forward in future years.


Comprehensive Loss


ASC 220, Comprehensive Income, establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive loss and its components in the financial statement. As at December 31, 2011, the Company had $4,638 of comprehensive income relating to foreign currency translation.


Property and Equipment


Property and equipment is stated at cost and is amortized on a straight-line basis, at the following rates:


Computer Hardware

3 years

Laboratory Equipment

5 years

Office Furniture and Equipment

5 years

Intangible Assets

13 years and 20 years


Impairment of Long-Lived Assets


In accordance with ASC 360, Property Plant and Equipment, the Company tests long-lived assets or asset groups for recoverability when events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Circumstances which could trigger a review include, but are not limited to: significant decreases in the market price of the asset; significant adverse changes in the business climate or legal factors; accumulation of costs significantly in excess of the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of the asset; current period cash flow or operating losses combined with a history of losses or a forecast of continuing losses associated with the use of the asset; and current expectation that the asset will more likely than not be sold or disposed significantly before the end of its estimated useful life. Recoverability is assessed based on the carrying amount of the asset and its fair value which is generally determined based on the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and the eventual disposal of the asset, as well as specific appraisal in certain instances. An impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds fair value.




F-19






3.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)


Stock-Based Compensation


The Company records stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation and ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. Equity instruments issued to employees and the cost of the services received as consideration are measured and recognized based on the fair value of the equity instruments issued.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements


In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08 to amend and simplify tests for goodwill impairment by permitting an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. The amendments in ASU 2011-08 are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 to amend the wording used to describe many of the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurement to (1) clarify the application of existing fair value measurement requirements and (2) change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurements. The primary purpose of the amendments is to achieve common fair value measurement and disclosure requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in ASU 2011-04 are to be applied prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. Adoption of this new guidance is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.


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.


4.

Acquisitions and Subsidiaries


On September 22, 2010, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary Singapore Volition Pte Ltd. (“Singapore”) entered into a purchase agreement to acquire 100 percent of the outstanding shares of ValiBio SA from ValiRx Plc in exchange for $400,000 and issuance of common shares of the Company with a fair value of $600,000, issuable when Singapore became a publicly-listed company. The agreement closed on October 11, 2010. Subsequent to the completion of the purchase, Singapore changed the name of ValiBio SA to Belgian Volition SA. The purchase price was recorded as a related party note payable until it was converted into shares of common stock in December 2011.


Singapore allocated the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities.  It was determined that the carrying value of these assets approximated their fair value at acquisition. The remaining purchase price was then allocated to the acquired intellectual property, namely patents.

Acquisitions and Subsidiaries (Continued)


On March 7, 2011, Singapore formed Hypergenomics Pte Ltd. as a wholly-owned subsidiary which is a private company domiciled in Singapore. The purpose of the formation was to hold and develop a segment of the acquired patents.


On June 19, 2011, Singapore amended its purchase agreement with ValiRx Plc to include the purchase of additional patents in exchange for an additional $510,000 payable in shares of the common stock of Singapore Volition or a publicly-listed successor company.  The purchase price was recorded as a related party note payable until it was converted into shares of common stock in December 2011.


On September 22, 2011, the Company filed a Certificate for Renewal and Revival of Charter with Secretary of State of Delaware. 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.


On October 6, 2011, the Company entered into a share exchange agreement with Singapore Volition Pte Ltd., a Singapore corporation, and the shareholders of Singapore Volition. Pursuant to the terms of the share exchange agreement, the Company has acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Singapore Volition’s common stock in exchange for 6,908,652 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a prior condition of this agreement, the Company arranged the cancellation of 1,073,000 common shares. Consequently the Company had 1,212,000 common shares issued and outstanding as of October 6, 2011 immediately prior to the closing of the share exchange agreement, and 8,120,652 shares issued and outstanding upon closing of the share exchange agreement.


As of the closing date, the former shareholders of Singapore Volition Pte Ltd. held 85% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. The issuance of the 6,908,652 common shares to the former shareholders of Singapore Volition Pte Ltd. was deemed to be a reverse acquisition for accounting purposes. Singapore Volition Pte Ltd., the acquired entity, is regarded as the predecessor entity as of October 6, 2011. The number of shares outstanding and per share amounts have been restated to recognize the recapitalization. All comparative financial data in these financial statements is that of Singapore Volition Pte Ltd.

The Company periodically reviews its long lived assets to ensure that their carrying value does not exceed their fair market value. On September 11, 2011, the Company hired an independent specialist to value the patents based on a discounted cash flows model.  The result of this report confirmed that the fair value of the patents exceeded their carrying value as of December 31, 2011.

The value of the shares was recorded as a prepaid expense that the Company will expense 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.  During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, $29,167 and $0 has been recorded to professional fees leaving a balance of $320,833 and $-0- as of each year end, respectively.
