Note 1 - Condensed Financial Statements

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by VolitionRx 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, 2017, and for all periods presented herein, have been made.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 10, 2017. The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full years.

Note 2 - Going Concern

The Company's financial statements are prepared using U.S. GAAP 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 $47,758,642, has negative cash flows from operations, 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, financing and/or generate revenues as may be required to sustain its operations. Management plans to address the above as needed by, (a) securing additional grant funds, (b) obtaining additional financing through debt or equity financing and (c) developing and commercializing its products on an accelerated timeline. Management continues to exercise tight cost controls to conserve cash.

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

Basis of Presentation

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

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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 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.

Note 3 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the period ended June 30, 2017 include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Singapore Volition Pte. Limited, Belgian Volition SPRL (“Belgian Volition”), Hypergenomics Pte. Limited, Volition America, Inc., which was formed on February 3, 2017 (“Volition America”), and Volition Diagnostics UK Limited (“Volition Diagnostics”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

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. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $16,505,210 and $21,678,734, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $14,599,241 and $17,154,377, respectively, in its domestic accounts in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $1,079,122 and $2,401,894, respectively, in its foreign accounts in excess of the Belgian Deposit Guarantee insured limits. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $256,233 and $1,719,937, respectively, in its foreign accounts in excess of the Singapore Deposit Insurance Scheme. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $84,777 and $nil, respectively, in its foreign accounts in excess of the UK Deposit Protection Scheme.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

The Company computes net loss per share in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 260, “Earnings Per Share,” which requires presentation of both basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) on the face of the income statement. Basic EPS is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders (numerator) by the weighted average number of shares outstanding (denominator) during the period. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method and convertible preferred stock using the if-converted method. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options or warrants. As of June 30, 2017, 1,048,192 dilutive warrants and options and 779,901 potentially dilutive warrants and options were excluded from the diluted EPS calculation as their effect is anti-dilutive.

Foreign Currency Translation

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

Reclassification

Certain balances in previously issued financial statements have been reclassified to be consistent with the current period presentation.

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. However, the following pronouncement has been adopted by the Company:

In March 2016, the FASB Issued ASU No. 2016-09, “Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718)”. The amendments in this update simplify aspects of accounting for share-based payment transactions. An entity can now make an entity-wide accounting policy election to either estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest (current GAAP) or account for forfeitures when they occur. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and for interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016.

Company Overview

Volition is a multi-national life sciences company developing simple, easy to use, blood-based cancer tests to accurately diagnose a range of cancers. The tests are based on the science of Nucleosomics^®, which is the practice of identifying and measuring nucleosomes in the bloodstream - an indication that disease is present.

As cancer screening programs become more widespread, our products aim to help in diagnosing a range of cancers quickly, simply, accurately, cost effectively and with much higher population compliance. Early diagnosis through widespread screening has the potential to not only prolong the life of patients, but also to improve their quality of life.

17

We have developed thirty-nine Nu.Q^TM blood-based assays to date to detect specific biomarkers that can be used individually or in combination to generate a profile which forms the basis of a product for a particular cancer or disease. We are also looking at a range of additional low cost orthogonal ELISA markers that may add to the test accuracy while maintaining our aim of providing a low-cost test that requires only a small amount of blood.

We anticipate that because of their ease of use and cost efficiency, our tests have the potential to become the first method of choice for cancer diagnostics, allowing detection of a range of cancers at an earlier stage. We anticipate the initial use will be for the testing of individuals who, for reasons such as time, cost, or aversion to current methods, are not currently screened, or are not up to date with their screening.

We intend to commercialize our products in the future through various channels within the European Union, the United States and throughout the rest of the world, beginning with Asia. Patient compliance is critical for asymptomatic CRC population screening programs, however, current CRC screening programs have poor compliance. For example, in the United States there are several recommended CRC screening test options, including; colonoscopy, fecal tests and computed tomography (“CT”) colonoscopy; however the participation rate as of 2014 was just 65.7% of the eligible patient population. The UK, like many European countries, employs a front-line fecal test for screening that also has a low compliance rate of between 59% and 67%. These figures indicate that about one-third of the populations of the United States and the UK are unscreened. The unscreened populations of many other countries are much higher. This low level of screening participation is a serious issue as it often leads to the late diagnosis of cancer when it is much harder to treat.

We believe that the only viable option to achieve high levels of compliance will come from affordable blood tests that use a small amount of blood taken as part of the patient’s normal health check procedure. We aim to launch such a front-line CRC population screening test for asymptomatic people who are non-compliant with current screening methods in Europe in 2018 and in Asia soon after. This product will require a small amount of blood and will use the same established, robust, low-cost ELISA methodology employed in the PSA test for prostate cancer.

We are also very serious about meeting this urgent need for a highly compliant asymptomatic CRC screening test in the United States as well. To this end in July 2017, we signed a contract to participate in a large 13,500 screening subject trial in the U.S. in conjunction with the National Cancer Institute’s Early Detection Research Network. Over 4,500 samples have already been collected and up to 9,000 samples will now be collected prospectively over the coming two to three years. The aim of this study is to validate a panel of biomarkers including our Nu.Q^TM Colorectal Cancer Screening Test in a large asymptomatic population to support U.S. regulatory approval.

Our first product – the Nu.Q^TM Colorectal Cancer Screening Triage Test, which we refer to as the Triage Test, achieved the CE Mark in December 2016, allowing us to start commercialization in the European Union. This test is now undergoing development. In addition, in conjunction with our collaborators in Denmark, we are undertaking a pathway design study.

We are also taking our first regulatory steps in Asia as we prepare the submission of our tests to numerous Asian regulatory authorities. We aim to announce several trials in Asia for our various potential CRC products in the coming quarters.

Overview of Plan of Operations

Management has identified the specific processes and resources required to achieve the near and medium-term objectives of our business plan, including personnel, facilities, equipment, research and testing materials including antibodies and clinical samples, and the protection of intellectual property. To date, operations have proceeded satisfactorily in relation to the business plan. However, it is possible that some resources will not readily become available in a suitable form or on a timely basis or at an acceptable cost. It is also possible that the results of some processes may not be as expected and that modifications of procedures and materials may be required. Such events could result in delays to the achievement of the near and medium-term objectives of the business plan regarding the progression of clinical validation studies and regulatory approval processes for the purpose of bringing products to the IVD market.

We do not anticipate earning significant revenues in 2017 and until such time as we are able to fully market our intended products on the IVD market. Our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish our plan of operations described herein, obtain financing and eventually attain profitable operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $16,505,210, prepayments of $299,290, other current assets of $146,982 and current liabilities of $2,241,370. This represents a working capital surplus of $14,710,112.

The Company used $5,483,373 in net cash for operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $4,558,467 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in cash used year-over-year is to a large extent a result of increased expenditures on research and development activities. The increase in salaries and office administrative fees is mainly a result of non - cash adjusting, stock and warrant amortization. See “— Results of Operations” for more detail.

The Company used $1,234,892 in net cash for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $68,382 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This increase in cash used year-over-year is primarily a result of the purchase of equipment and building improvements for the new research and development facility in Belgium.

Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to $1,444,624 for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $13,262,193 for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The Company received combined proceeds of $664,573 from an ING bank loan and a Preface S.A. loan in the six months ended June 30, 2017 along with approximately $879,412 in net cash proceeds from the exercise of warrants. During the comparable 2016 period, the Company raised approximately $13.1 million in net cash proceeds in March 2016 through the sale and issuance of approximately 4.3 million shares of common stock in a public offering and raised $206,763 in net cash proceeds from the exercise of warrants.

We intend to use our cash reserves to predominantly fund further research and development activities. We do not currently have any substantial source of revenues and expect to rely on additional future financing, through the sale of additional equity securities, but there is no assurance that we will be successful in raising further funds.

In the event that additional financing is delayed, we will prioritize the maintenance of our research and development personnel and facilities, primarily in Belgium, and the maintenance of our patent rights. However the completion of clinical validation studies and regulatory approval processes for the purpose of bringing products to the IVD market would be delayed. In the event of an ongoing lack of financing, it may be necessary to discontinue operations, which will adversely affect the value of our common stock.

Going Concern

We have not attained profitable operations and are dependent upon obtaining financing to pursue any extensive activities. For these reasons, our auditors stated in their report on our audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 that they have substantial doubt that we will be able to continue as a going concern without further financing.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016

The following table sets forth the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended on June 30, 2017 and the comparative period for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Revenues

The Company had not generated revenues from operations in either the three months ended June 30, 2017 or the three months ended June 30, 2016. The Company’s operations are still predominantly in the development stage. 

Total Operating Expenses

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company’s total operating expenses increased by $487,731, or 16%, compared to the same period in 2016. Total operating expenses are comprised of general and administrative expenses, sales and marketing expenses, professional fees, salaries and office administrative fees, and research and development expenses described below.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $92,601, or 56%, in the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period. The increase was in part due to additional costs from operating a larger UK office, incurring costs of $17,149 which were not incurred in the prior year, and an increased level of insurance coverage, incurring costs of $14,884 which were not incurred in the prior year period. The Company also incurred increased IT costs of $24,231, which did not occur in the prior year. The incremental IT costs mainly related to investments associated with increased IT security and controls.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $23,920, or 19%, in the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily a result of the recruitment of additional sales and marketing personnel, incurring new costs of $67,806 in 2017. These increased costs were offset against decreases in marketing fees across certain areas.  

20

Professional Fees

Professional fees decreased by $84,759, or 20%, in the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was mainly due to lower legal and taxation advice fees.

Salaries and Office Administrative Fees

Salaries and office administrative fees increased by $476,659, or 94%, in the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period. The increase was mainly the result of increased stock option and warrant amortization costs of $282,588, with increased employee headcount and staff salaries also contributing to the total change.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses decreased by $20,690, or 1%, in the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period. The decrease was predominantly the result of decreased costs of antibody usage and antibody development.

Other Income

Other income amounted to $nil for the three months ended June 30, 2017. In the three months ended June 30, 2016, other income related to grant funds received from public bodies in respect of approved expenditures, where there is no obligation to repay.

Net Loss

For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company’s net loss was $3,462,988, an increase of $513,622, or 17%, in comparison to a net loss of $2,949,366 for the three months ended June 30, 2016. The change was a result of the factors described above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016

The following table sets forth the Company’s results of operations for the six months ended on June 30, 2017 and the comparative period for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

21

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by $108,592, or 28%, in the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period. The increase was the result of the Company’s insurance costs, which rose by $32,937, additional costs of $33,675 due to the move to a larger UK office, along with an increase in IT costs of $33,961 associated with investments in IT security and controls.

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $140,633, or 88%, in the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily a result of the recruitment of additional sales and marketing personnel, incurring new costs of $113,842. 

Professional Fees

Professional fees decreased by $209,474, or 24%, in the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period. The change was mainly due to a decrease of $154,288 in legal and listing fees that were higher in the prior period as a result of a capital raise.

Salaries and Office Administrative Fees

Salaries and office administrative fees increased by $947,992, or 114%, in the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period. The increase was the result of an increase in the cost of stock option and warrant amortization expense of $658,391 year over year, with some headcount and remuneration increases.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased by $358,043, or 11%, in the six month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior year period. Increases in costs on a year over year basis include employment costs, due to an increase in employee headcount, of $136,671 and an increase in the cost of stock option amortization expense of $118,833. Depreciation expense also increased by $76,523 year over year. This was as a result of the move to a new research and development facility in March 2017.

Other Income

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no significant off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to stockholders.

22

Future Financings

We may seek to obtain additional capital through the sale of debt or equity securities, if we deem it desirable or necessary. However, we may be unable to obtain such additional capital when needed, or on terms favorable to us or our stockholders, if at all. If we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, the percentage ownership of our stockholders will be reduced, stockholders may experience additional dilution or such equity securities may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the holders of our common stock. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, the terms of such securities may place restrictions on our ability to operate our business.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, applied on a consistent basis. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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

The Company has implemented all new accounting pronouncements that are in effect. The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations. 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act, and are not required to provide the information under this item.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by our company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded, as they previously concluded as of December 31, 2016, that our disclosure controls and procedures continue to not be effective as of June 30, 2017, because of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, as described below and in detail in our Annual Report.

23

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors meets regularly with our financial management, and with the independent registered public accounting firm engaged by us. Internal accounting controls and the quality of financial reporting are discussed during these meetings. The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm matters required to be discussed by the auditing standards adopted or established by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. In addition, the Audit Committee and the independent registered public accounting firm have discussed the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence from the Company and its management, including the matters in the written disclosures required by Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3526 “Communicating with Audit Committees Concerning Independence”.

As of June 30, 2017, we did not maintain sufficient internal controls over financial reporting:

due to a lack of adequate segregation of duties in some areas of Finance; and 

due to a lack of sufficient oversight in the area of IT, where certain processes may affect the internal controls over financial reporting. 

We have developed, and are currently implementing, a remediation plan for such weaknesses. Specifically, we have identified and selected a system for financial reporting that will allow further automation of the reporting process, thereby strengthening the control environment over financial reporting.

As we continue to evaluate and work to enhance our internal controls over financial reporting, we may determine that additional measures should be taken to address these or other control deficiencies, and/or that we should modify our remediation plan.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2017, other than those described above, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Internal Controls

Our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control.

The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, a control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
