GEOVAX LABS, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT-STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
June 30, 2009
1. Description of Company and Basis of Presentation
GeoVax Labs, Inc. (GeoVax or the Company), is a biotechnology company focused on
developing human vaccines for diseases caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and other
infectious agents. The Company has exclusively licensed from Emory University (Emory) vaccine
technology which was developed in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The Company is incorporated under the laws
of the State of Delaware and its principal offices are located in Atlanta, Georgia.
GeoVax is devoting all of its present efforts to research and development and is a development
stage enterprise as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 7, Accounting and
Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises. The accompanying financial statements at June 30,
2009 and for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are unaudited, but
include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring entries, which we believe to be necessary
for a fair presentation of the dates and periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily
indicative of results for a full year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with
our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008. Our operating results are expected to fluctuate for the foreseeable future.
Therefore, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as predictive of the results in
future periods.
The Company disclosed in Note 2 to its financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2008 those accounting policies that it considers significant in determining its
results of operations and financial position. There have been no material changes to, or in the
application of, the accounting policies previously identified and described in the Form 10-K.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 provides
enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 provides a
common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value
under generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS 157 also
requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used
to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the
effect of fair value measures on earnings. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No.
157-2, (FSP 157-2) which delayed the January 1, 2008 effective date of SFAS 157 for all
nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those already being recognized or
disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until
January 1, 2009. Implementation of these standards had no effect on our results of operations,
financial position, or cash flows.
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161,
Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 amends
and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Hedging. The adoption of SFAS 161 had no effect on our results of operations, financial position,
or cash flows.
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB Staff Position No. 142-3, Determination of the Useful
Life of Intangible Assets (FSP 142-3). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in
developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized
intangible asset under FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets. The adoption of FSP 142-3 had no effect on our results of operations,
financial position, or cash flows.
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether
Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities (EITF
03-6-1). EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are
participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore, need to be included in the earnings
allocation in calculating earnings per share under the two-class method described in FASB Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, Earnings per Share. EITF 03-6-1 requires companies to
treat
unvested share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividend or dividend
equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. The adoption of
EITF 03-6-1 had no effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
6
In April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about
Fair Value of Financial Instruments (FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1
amends FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to require
disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as in annual financial
statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 also amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial
Reporting, to require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and
APB 28-1 is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. We will adopt FSP FAS 107-1 and APB
28-1 in the second quarter of 2009 and currently do not expect that such adoption will have a
material, if any, effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent
Events (SFAS 165). SFAS 165 establishes principles and requirements for subsequent events,
setting forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity
shall evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the
financial statements, the circumstances under which an entity shall recognize events or
transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and the
disclosures that an entity shall make about events or transactions that occurred after the balance
sheet date. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15,
2009, and shall be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material effect
on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows. We have performed an evaluation of
subsequent events through August 10, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were issued.
In June 2009, the FASB approved the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification),
and issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards
Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a replacement of FASB
Statement No.162 (SFAS 168). SFAS 168 replaces SFAS 162 to establish the Codification as the
source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by
nongovernmental entities in preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States. SFAS 168 is effective for interim and annual
periods ending after September 15, 2009. We do not expect the adoption of SFAS168 to have an impact
on our financial position or results of operations.
We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting or reporting
standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on our financial statements.
3. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share
Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding
during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of
common shares and potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially
dilutive common shares primarily consist of employee stock options and warrants issued to
investors. Common share equivalents which potentially could dilute basic earnings per share in the
future, and which were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as the effect would
be anti-dilutive, totaled approximately 116.0 million and 110.0 million shares at June 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively.
4. Stockholders Equity
Common Stock Purchase Agreement
In May 2008, we signed a common stock purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with Fusion
Capital Fund II, LLC (Fusion Capital). The Purchase Agreement allows us to require Fusion
Capital to purchase up to $10 million of our common stock in amounts ranging from $80,000 to $1.0
million per purchase transaction, depending on certain conditions,
from time to time over a 25-month period beginning July 1, 2008, the date on which the SEC declared
effective the registration statement related to the transaction.
7
The purchase price of the shares relating to the Purchase Agreement is based on the prevailing
market prices of our shares at the times of the sales without any fixed discount, and we control
the timing and amounts of any sales of shares to Fusion Capital. Fusion Capital does not have the
right or the obligation to purchase any shares of our common stock on any business day that the
purchase price of our common stock is below $0.05 per share. As primary consideration for entering
into the Purchase Agreement, and upon the execution of the Purchase Agreement we issued to Fusion
Capital 2,480,510 shares of our common stock as a commitment fee, and we agreed to issue to Fusion
Capital up to an additional 2,480,510 commitment fee shares, on a pro rata basis, as we receive the
$10 million of future funding. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by us at any time at our
discretion without any additional cost to us. There are no negative covenants, restrictions on
future financings, penalties or liquidated damages in the agreement.
During the six month period ended June 30, 2009, we sold 6,135,038 shares to Fusion Capital under
the terms of the Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $830,000, and we also issued
an additional 205,882 shares to Fusion Capital pursuant to the pro rata deferred commitment fee
arrangement mentioned above. As of June 30, 2009, Fusion Capital has purchased a cumulative total
of 9,845,002 shares for $1,330,000 pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and we have issued a total
of 2,810,419 shares as a commitment fee.
During July 2009, we sold an additional 997,637 shares to Fusion Capital for an aggregate purchase
price of $160,000, and issued 39,688 shares pursuant to the deferred commitment fee arrangement.
Stock Options
In 2006 we adopted the GeoVax Labs, Inc. 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) for the
granting of qualified incentive stock options (ISOs), nonqualified stock options, restricted
stock awards or restricted stock bonuses to employees, officers, directors, consultants and
advisors of the Company. The exercise price for any option granted may not be less than fair value
(110% of fair value for ISOs granted to certain employees). Options granted under the 2006 Plan
have a maximum ten-year term and generally vest over four years. The Company has reserved
51,000,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 2006 Plan.
There was no activity in the 2006 Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2009. As of June 30,
2009, there were nonqualified stock options covering a total of 46,947,757 shares of our common
stock outstanding with a weighted average exercise price of $0.13 and a weighted average remaining
contractual term of 5.8 years; including options as to 36,274,425 shares currently exercisable,
with a weighted average exercise price of $0.10 and a weighted average remaining contractual term
of 5.0 years.
Stock-based compensation expense related to the 2006 Plan was $381,009 and $769,829 for the three
month and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, as compared to $752,366 and $1,098,692 for the
three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The table below shows the
allocation of stock-based compensation expense related to our stock option plan between general and
administrative expense and research and development expense. As of June 30, 2009, there was
$1,080,494 of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock-based compensation arrangements
subject to the 2006 Plan, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5
years.

Compensatory Warrants
We may, from time to time, issue stock purchase warrants to consultants or others in exchange for
services. As of June 30, 2009, there were a total of 2,700,000 shares of our common stock covered
by outstanding stock warrants all of which are currently exercisable at a weighted average exercise
price of $0.33 per share and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 2.5 years. There was
no expense associated with compensatory warrants during the three month or six month periods ended
June 30, 2009; for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, we recorded $43,920
and $77,940 of expense, respectively, all of which was allocated to general and administrative
expense. As of June 30, 2009, there was no unrecognized compensation expense related to
compensatory warrant arrangements.
8
Investment Warrants
In addition to outstanding stock options and compensatory warrants, as of June 30, 2009 we had
stock purchase warrants covering a total of 66,322,634 shares of our common stock which were issued
to investors in previous transactions. Such warrants have a weighted-average exercise price of
$0.24 per share and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 2.1 years.
5. Income Taxes
Because of our historically significant net operating losses, we have not paid income taxes since
inception. We maintain deferred tax assets that reflect the net tax effects of temporary
differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for income tax purposes. These deferred tax assets are comprised primarily of
net operating loss carryforwards and also include amounts relating to nonqualified stock options
and research and development credits. The net deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a
valuation allowance because of the uncertainty of our future profitability and our ability to
utilize the deferred tax assets. Utilization of operating losses and credits may be subject to
substantial annual limitations due to ownership change provisions of Section 382 of the Internal
Revenue Code. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and
credits before utilization.
6. NIH Grant Funding
In September 2007, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded us an Integrated
Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development (IPCAVD) grant to support our HIV/AIDS vaccine
program. The project period for the grant, which is renewable annually, covers a five year period
which commenced October 2007, with an expected annual award of between $3 and $4 million per year
(approximately $17 million in the aggregate). We are utilizing this funding to further our
HIV/AIDS vaccine development, optimization and production. We record revenue associated with the
grant as the related costs and expenses are incurred and such revenue is reported as a separate
line item in our statements of operations.
7. Related Party Transactions
In June 2008, we entered into two subcontracts with Emory for the purpose of conducting research
and development activities associated with our IPCAVD grant from the NIH (see Note 6). During the
three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, we recorded $245,819 and $464,451 of expense
associated with these subcontracts as compared to $179,002 for both of the comparable periods of
2008. All amounts paid to Emory under these subcontracts are reimbursable to us pursuant to the
NIH grant.
In March 2008, we entered into a consulting agreement with Donald Hildebrand, the Chairman of our
Board of Directors and our former President and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which Mr.
Hildebrand provides business and technical advisory services to the Company. The term of the
consulting agreement began on April 1, 2008 and will end on December 31, 2009. During the three
month and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, we recorded $14,400 and $28,800, respectively, of
expense associated with the consulting agreement as compared to $16,000 for both of the comparable
periods of 2008.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
In addition to historical information, the information included in this Form 10-Q contains
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties
and should not be relied upon as predictions of future events. Certain such forward-looking
statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as believes,
expects, may, will, should, seeks, approximately, intends, plans,
pro forma, estimates, or anticipates or other variations thereof or comparable
terminology, or by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Such forward-looking statements
are necessarily dependent on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and
may be incapable of being realized. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results
and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking
statements:
|
|
whether we can raise additional capital as and when we need it; |
|
|
|
whether we are successful in developing our products; |
9
|
|
whether we are able to obtain regulatory approvals in the United States and other countries
for sale of our products; |
|
|
|
whether we can compete successfully with others in our market; and |
|
|
|
whether we are adversely affected in our efforts to raise cash by the volatility and
disruption of local and national economic, credit and capital markets and the economy in
general. |
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our
managements analysis only. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
Managements discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based
on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On
an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and adjusts the estimates as necessary. We
base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to
be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments
about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other
sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions.
Overview
GeoVax is a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing human vaccines for diseases
caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus and other infectious agents. We have exclusively licensed
from Emory University certain HIV vaccine technology which was developed in collaboration with the
National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Our HIV vaccine candidates have successfully completed preclinical efficacy testing in non-human
primates and Phase 1 clinical testing trials in humans. A Phase 2a human clinical trial for our
preventative HIV vaccine candidate was initiated during the fourth quarter of 2008, and patient
enrollment commenced in February 2009. The costs of conducting all of our human clinical trials to
date have been borne by the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN), funded by the NIH, with GeoVax
incurring costs associated with manufacturing the clinical vaccine supplies and other study
support. HVTN is bearing the cost of conducting our ongoing Phase 2a human clinical study, but we
cannot predict the level of support we will receive from HVTN for any additional clinical studies.
Our operations are also partially supported by an Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine
Development (IPCAVD) Grant from the NIH. The project period for the grant covers a five year
period which commenced October 2007, with an expected annual award of between $3-4 million per year
(approximately $17 million in the aggregate). The grant is subject to annual renewal, with the
latest grant award covering the period from September 2008 through August 2009, and we expect the
grant to be renewed for the next annual period of September 2009 through August 2010. We intend to
pursue additional grants from the federal government, however, as we progress to the later stages
of our vaccine development activities, government financial support may be more difficult to
obtain, or may not be available at all. It will, therefore, be necessary for us to look to other
sources of funding in order to finance our development activities.
We anticipate incurring additional losses for several years as we expand our drug development and
clinical programs and proceed into higher cost human clinical trials. Conducting clinical trials
for our vaccine candidates in development is a lengthy, time-consuming and expensive process. We do
not expect to generate product sales from our development efforts for several years. If we are
unable to successfully develop and market pharmaceutical products over the next several years, our
business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely impacted.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 to our consolidated financial
statements included in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. We believe the following
critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of our consolidated financial statements:
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.
Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of
the assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. If such assets
are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which
the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the discounted expected future net cash flows from the
assets.
10
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue in accordance with the SECs Staff Accounting Bulletin
No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
104, Revenue Recognition, (SAB 104). SAB 104 provides guidance in applying U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition issues, and specifically addresses revenue
recognition for upfront, nonrefundable fees received in connection with research collaboration
agreements. Our revenue consists primarily of government grant revenue, which is recorded as
income as the related costs are incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation. Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.123 (revised 2004), Share-Based
Payments (SFAS 123R), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for
all share-based payments made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the
grant date. SFAS 123R replaces SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and supersedes
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. We
adopted SFAS 123R using the prospective application method which requires us to apply the
provisions of SFAS 123R prospectively to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or
cancelled after December 31, 2005. Awards granted after December 31, 2005 are valued at fair value
in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and recognized on a straight line basis over the
service periods of each award.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $1,823,245 and total assets of $2,432,108, as
compared to $2,191,180 and $3,056,241, respectively, at December 31, 2008. Working capital totaled
$1,877,079 at June 30, 2009, compared to $2,455,412 at December 31, 2008.
Sources and Uses of Cash. We are a development-stage company (as defined by SFAS No. 7,
Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises) and do not have any products approved
for sale. Due to our significant research and development expenditures, we have not been
profitable and have generated operating losses since our inception in 2001. Our primary sources of
cash are from sales of our equity securities and from government grant funding.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,197,935 for the
six month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared to $959,412 for the comparable period in 2008.
Generally, the differences between years are due to fluctuations in our net losses which, in turn,
result primarily from fluctuations in expenditures from our research activities, offset by net
changes in our assets and liabilities.
In September 2007, the NIH awarded us an Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development
(IPCAVD) grant to support our HIV/AIDS vaccine program. The project period for the grant, which is
renewable annually, covers a five year period which commenced October 2007, with an expected annual
award of between $3 and $4 million per year (approximately $17 million in the aggregate). We are
utilizing this funding to further our HIV/AIDS vaccine development, optimization, and production
for human clinical trial testing. The funding we receive pursuant to this grant is recorded as
revenue at the time the related expenditures are incurred, and thus partially offsets our net
losses.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Our investing activities have consisted predominantly of
capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 were
$-0- and $65,646, respectively.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $830,000 and
$2,168,541 for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The cash
generated by our financing activities relates to Fusion Capital during the 2009 period (see
discussion below) and to the sale of our common stock to individual accredited investors during the
2008 period.
In May 2008, we signed a Purchase Agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, an Illinois limited
liability company (Fusion Capital) which provides for the sale of up to $10 million of shares of
our common stock. In connection with this agreement, we filed a registration statement related to
the transaction with the SEC covering the shares that have been issued or may be issued to Fusion
Capital under the Purchase Agreement. The SEC declared effective the registration statement on
July 1, 2008, and we now have the right until July 31, 2010 to sell our shares of common stock to
Fusion Capital from time to time in amounts ranging from $80,000 to $1 million per purchase
transaction, depending on certain conditions as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. During the
six months ended June 30, 2009, we received $830,000 from the sale of our common stock to Fusion
Capital pursuant to this arrangement. Through June 30, 2009, we have received a cumulative total
of $1,330,000 from Fusion Capital, leaving $8,670,000 available pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
Depending on general stock market conditions, and the prevailing price of our common stock leading
up to the date upon
which the Purchase Agreement ends (July 31, 2010), we may not be able to access the full amount
remaining pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The extent to which we rely on the Purchase Agreement
as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors including the prevailing market price of
our common stock and the extent to which we can secure working capital from other sources if we
choose to seek such other sources.
11
In June 2009, we signed a proposal to discuss a cooperative arrangement with Cook County, Illinois
(metro Chicago area), the Cook County Health and Hospital Systems Board, and the Ruth M.
Rothsteins CORE Foundation (the Cook County Proposal). Our proposal contained provisions for
seeking funds from private non-profit or government sources to pay for our overall clinical trial
program. While it now appears that our proposal will not move forward, we intend to pursue other
related opportunities to accelerate our therapeutic vaccine program.
We may receive up to $1.5 million through the exercise of an outstanding stock purchase warrant due
to expire in September 2009, which has an exercise price below the current market price of our
common stock; but there is no assurance that the holder of the warrant will choose to exercise it.
We believe that our current working capital, combined with the proceeds from the IPCAVD grant
awarded annually from the NIH and our minimum anticipated use of the Purchase Agreement with Fusion
Capital, will be sufficient to support our planned level of operations at least through June 30,
2010. Even if we are able to access the remainder of the full $10 million under the Purchase
Agreement with Fusion Capital, we may still need additional capital in the future to fully
implement our business, operating and development plans. Should the financing we require to
sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the
consequences could be a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial
condition and prospects. While we believe that we will be successful in obtaining the necessary
financing to fund our operations through grants, the Purchase Agreement and/or other sources, there
can be no assurances that such additional funding will be available to us on reasonable terms or at
all.
Our capital requirements, particularly as they relate to product research and development, have
been and will continue to be significant. We intend to seek FDA approval of our products, which
may take several years. We will not generate revenues from the sale of our products for at least
several years, if at all. We will be dependent on obtaining financing from third parties in order
to maintain our operations, including our clinical program. Due to the existing uncertainty in the
capital and credit markets, and adverse regional and national economic conditions which may persist
or worsen, capital may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. If we fail
to obtain additional funding when needed, we would be forced to scale back or terminate our
operations, or to seek to merge with or to be acquired by another company.
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that are likely or reasonably likely to have a material
effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
Contractual Obligations
In July 2008, we signed a non-binding letter of intent for a joint collaboration and commercial
license for the use of vaccine manufacturing technology owned by Vivalis S.A., a French
biopharmaceutical company. Subsequent to the signing of the letter of intent, we paid a signing
fee of $241,440 to Vivalis which was recorded as a prepaid expense, pending the outcome of our
license agreement negotiations. During the period of time subsequent to the signing of the term
sheet with Vivalis, in addition to negotiating the specific terms of the final license agreement,
our respective scientific staffs have been working through a number of technical issues regarding
the incorporation of Vivalis manufacturing technology as it applies to production of the MVA
component of our vaccine. During July 2009, we determined that it was in the best interests of the
Company to suspend negotiation and implementation of the license agreement (together with the
related financial obligations) until such time as the remaining technical issues are resolved. In
conjunction with the determination to defer the license, we expect to incur additional costs of
approximately $250,000 for payments to Vivalis in support of the continued and past scientific
effort. Also, due to the uncertainty regarding the ultimate outcome of the license, as of June 30,
2009, we also reclassified to research and development expense the $241,440 upfront payment made to
Vivalis which was previously recorded as a prepaid expense. We have made alternative arrangements
for the production of the MVA component of our vaccine to be used in our planned clinical trials
and there is no impact on the timetable for our ongoing Phase 2a (preventative) clinical trial or
the initiation of our Phase 1 (therapeutic) clinical trial as a result of the deferral of the
potential license of Vivalis technology.
As of June 30, 2009, we had no other material firm purchase obligations or commitments for capital
expenditures, no committed lines of credit or other committed funding or long-term debt, and no
lease obligations (operating or capital). We have employment agreements with our senior management
team, each of which may be terminated with 30 days advance notice. We have no other contractual
obligations, with the exception of commitments which are contingent upon the occurrence of future
events.

Results of Operations
Net Loss
We recorded a net loss of $1,348,654 for the three months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to
$1,284,352 for the three months ended June 30, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, we
recorded a net loss of $2,210,163, as compared to a net loss of $1,966,862 for the six months ended
June 30, 2008. Our net losses typically fluctuate due to the timing of activities and related
costs associated with our vaccine research and development activities and our general and
administrative costs, as described in more detail below.
Grant Revenue
During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 we recorded grant revenue of $752,800
and $1,462,955, respectively, as compared to $376,078 and $976,069, respectively, during the
comparable periods of 2008. During 2007, we were awarded an Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS
Vaccine Development (IPCAVD) grant by the NIH to support our HIV/AIDS vaccine program. The project
period for the grant, which is renewable annually, covers a five year period which commenced
October 2007, with an expected annual award of between $3 to $4 million per year (approximately $17
million in the aggregate). We are utilizing this funding to further our HIV/AIDS vaccine
development, optimization and production. The grant is subject to annual renewal, with the latest
grant award covering the period from September 2008 through August 2009. As of June 30, 2009,
there is approximately $1.7 million remaining from the current grant years award. Assuming that
the remaining budgeted amounts under the grant are awarded annually to the Company, there is an
additional $11.1 million available through the grant for the remainder of the original five year
project period (ending August 31, 2012).
Research and Development
During the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, we incurred $1,202,894 and
$2,060,130, respectively, of research and development expense as compared to $759,208 and
$1,362,686, respectively, during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2008.
Research and development expense for the three month and six month periods of 2009 includes
stock-based compensation expense of $85,439 and $170,878, respectively, while the comparable
periods of 2008 include stock-based compensation expense of $347,308 and $382,825, respectively
(see discussion under Stock-Based Compensation Expense below).
Research and development expenses can vary considerably on a period-to-period basis, depending on
our need for vaccine manufacturing and testing of manufactured vaccine by third parties, and due to
fluctuations in the timing of other external expenditures related to our IPCAVD grant from the NIH.
The increase in research and development expense from the 2008 periods to the 2009 periods is due
primarily to costs associated with our vaccine manufacturing activities in preparation for the
commencement of Phase 2 clinical testing, costs associated with our activities funded by our NIH
grant including costs related to our collaborative effort with Vivalis (see discussion above under
Contractual Obligations), and also due to higher personnel costs associated with the addition of
new scientific personnel. Our recently initiated Phase 2a clinical trial is being conducted and
funded by the HVTN, but we are responsible for the manufacture of vaccine product to be used in the
trial. We cannot predict the level of support we may receive from HVTN or other federal agencies
(or divisions thereof) for our future clinical trials. We expect that our research and development
costs will continue to increase in 2009 and beyond as we progress through the human clinical trial
process leading up to possible product approval by the FDA.
General and Administrative Expense
During the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, we incurred general and
administrative costs of $906,055 and $1,629,870, respectively, as compared to $917,702 and
$1,623,344, respectively, during the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2008.
General and administrative costs include officers salaries, legal and accounting costs, patent
costs, amortization expense associated with intangible assets, and other general corporate
expenses. General and administrative expense for the three month and six month periods of 2009
include stock-based compensation expense of $295,570 and $598,952, respectively; while the
comparable periods of 2008 include stock-based compensation expense of $468,561 and $831,640,
respectively (see discussion under Stock-Based Compensation Expense below). We expect that our
general and administrative costs will increase in the future in support of expanded research and
development activities and other general corporate activities.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense
During the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2009, we recorded total stock-based
compensation expense of $381,009 and $769,829, respectively, which is included in research and
development expense, or general and administrative expense according to the classification of cash
compensation paid to the employee, consultant or director to which the stock compensation was
granted. Stock-based compensation expense for the three month and six month periods ended June 30,
2008 was $815,869 and $1,214,465, respectively. In addition to amounts related to the issuance of
stock
options to employees, the figures for 2008 include amounts related to common stock and stock
purchase warrants issued to consultants, and extension of existing stock option contracts.
Stock-based compensation expense is calculated and recorded in accordance with the provisions of
SFAS 123R. We adopted SFAS 123R using the prospective application method which requires us to
apply its provisions prospectively to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled
after December 31, 2005. Awards granted after December 31, 2005 are valued at fair value in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and recognized on a straight line basis over the

Other Income
Interest income for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 was $7,495 and
$16,882, respectively, as compared to $16,480 and $43,099, respectively, for the three months and
six months ended June 30, 2008. The variances between periods are attributable to generally lower
interest rates, and lower incremental cash balances available for investment during each respective
period.
Item 3 Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We do not currently have any market risk sensitive instruments held for trading purposes or
otherwise, therefore, we do not have exposure to interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate
risk, commodity price risk, and other relevant market risks.
Item 4 Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure
that the information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and
reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms and (2) accumulated and
communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and principal financial officer,
as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management has carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of
our President and our Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation
of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities
and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three
months ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The agreements identified in this report as exhibits are between and among the parties to
them, and are not for the benefit of any other person. Each agreement speaks as of its date, and
the Company does not undertake to update them, unless otherwise required by the terms of the
agreement or by law. As permitted, the Company has omitted some disclosure schedules because the
Company has concluded that they do not contain information that is material to an investment
decision and is not otherwise disclosed in the agreement or this report. Omitted schedules may
nevertheless affect the related agreement. The agreements, including the Companys
representations, warranties, and covenants, are subject to qualifications and limitations agreed to
by the parties and may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality, and remedies, different
from those generally applicable or available to investors and may reflect an allocation of risk
between or among the parties to them. Accordingly, the representations, warranties and covenants
of the Company contained in the agreements may not constitute strict representations of factual
matters or absolute promises of performance. Moreover, the agreements may be subject to differing
interpretations by the parties, and a party may, in accordance with the agreement or otherwise,
waive or modify the Companys representations, warranties, or covenants.
