2. Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the condensed interim consolidated financial position of CardioGenics Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“US GAAP”) as of January 31, 2016, their results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended January 31, 2016 and 2015, and the changes in deficiency for the three months ended January 31, 2016. CardioGenics Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries are referred to together herein as the “Company”. Pursuant to rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP have been condensed or omitted from these consolidated financial statements unless significant changes have taken place since the end of the most recent fiscal year. Accordingly, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, notes to consolidated financial statements and the other information in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of October 31, 2015 (the “Audited Financial Statements”) included in the Company’s Form 10-K that was previously filed with the SEC on February 26, 2016 and from which the October 31, 2015 consolidated balance sheet was derived.

The results of the Company’s operations for the three months ended January 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the full year ending October 31, 2016.

The accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business.

The Company has incurred operating losses and has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception. The Company has an accumulated deficit at January 31, 2016 of approximately $49.7 million. The Company has not yet established an ongoing source of revenues sufficient to cover its operating costs and to allow it to continue as a going concern. The Company has funded its activities to date almost exclusively from debt and equity financings. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

The Company will continue to require substantial funds to continue research and development, including preclinical studies and clinical trials of its products, and to commence sales and marketing efforts, if the FDA and other regulatory approvals are obtained. In order to meet its operating cash flow requirements, management’s plans include financing activities such as private placements of its common stock and issuances of convertible debt instruments. Management is also actively pursuing industry collaboration activities including product licensing and specific project financing.

While the Company believes it will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations and manage costs, there are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved and that it will succeed in its future operations. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence.
