I remember and I am sure that formic acid is formed, which is converted to CO2, but I do not remember the second compound. It could probably be acetyl-coenzyme A because it is found everywhere in metabolism.
ATP has to be ruled out because it is in the attached Krebs cycle, look at there.
Try searching online using the following keywords:"cyanide-induced inhibition of cellular respiration", it may help you in some way.
