GEOVAX LABS, INC.
(A DEVELOPMENT-STAGE ENTERPRISE)
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)March 31, 2010
September 30, 2009(unaudited)
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.(“HIV”). 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 Smyrna, Georgia (metropolitan Atlanta area).
GeoVax is devoting all of its present efforts to research and development and is a development stage enterprise as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915,Development Stage Entities. The accompanying financial statements at September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 and for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2010 and 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, 2008.2009. 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, 20082009 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.
As described in Note 9, effective April 27, 2010, the Company enacted a one-for-fifty reverse stock split of its common stock. The accompanying financial statements, and all share and per share information contained herein, have been retroactively restated to reflect the reverse stock split.
2. New Accounting PronouncementsStandards
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2009,There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the FASB issued guidance now codifiedthree months ended March 31, 2010, as ASC Topic 105, “Generally Accepted Accounting Principles”, ascompared to the single source of authoritative nongovernmental U.S. generally acceptedrecent accounting principles (“GAAP”). ASC Topic 105 does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to all authoritative GAAP by providing all authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place (the “Codification”). The Codification became the source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of ASC Topic 105, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not includedpronouncements described in the Codification became non-authoritative. The provisions of ASC Topic 105 are effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009 and, accordingly, are effectiveCompany’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the Company for the current fiscal reporting period. The adoption of ASC Topic 105 did not have an impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows, but will impact our financial reporting process by eliminating all references to pre-codification standards. All references to accounting literature included in the notes to our financial statements have been changed to reference the appropriate sections of the Codification.
Following ASC Topic 105, the FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates. The FASB does not consider Accounting Standards Updates as authoritative in their own right. Accounting Standards Updates serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the bases for conclusions on changes in the Codification.
In September 2006, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 820,“Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,”which provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, provides a common definition of fair value, and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value under GAAP more consistent and comparable. The pronouncement also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which

6


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 released additional guidance also now codified under ASC Topic 820, which delayed the January 1, 2008 effective date for application of certain guidance related to non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities, except for itemsyear ended December 31, 2009, that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis, until January 1, 2009. The implementation of this pronouncement did notexpected to have a material effectimpact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, which amends and expands the disclosure requirements previously required for derivative instruments and hedging activities. We adopted this pronouncement effective January 1, 2009 and it did not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In April 2008, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other,” which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset. We adopted the provisions of this pronouncement effective January 1, 2009, and it did not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In June 2008, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.” This pronouncement 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 of computing earnings per share. This pronouncement 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. We adopted this pronouncement effective January 1, 2009 and it did not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In April 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments,” which amends previous Topic 825 guidance to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim as well as annual financial statements. We adopted this pronouncement effective April 1, 2009 and it did not have a material effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In May 2009, the FASB issued guidance now codified as ASC Topic 855, “Subsequent Events,” which establishes general standards of accounting for, and disclosures of, events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. We adopted this pronouncement effective June 30, 2009 and it 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 November 6, 2009, which is the date these financial statements were issued.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on ourCompany’s 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 91.91.9 million and 111.52.3 million shares at September 30,March 31, 2010 and 2009, and 2008, respectively.
4. Commitments
Lease AgreementsAgreement
Since 2001, we have leased the office and laboratory space used for our operations in Atlanta, Georgia under aWe lease agreement with Emtech Biotechnology Development, Inc., a related party associated with Emory University. In September 2009, we executed a lease agreement, effective November 1, 2009, for approximately 84008,400 square feet of office and laboratory space located in Smyrna, Georgia (the “Smyrna Facility”) and we will vacate the Emtech facility during

Other Contractual ObligationsCommitments
In the normal course of business, we may enter into various firm purchase commitments related to production and testing of our vaccine material, and other research-related activities. As of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, we had approximately $20,000$830,000 of unrecorded outstanding purchase commitments to our vendors and subcontractors. We expect to receive and pay for these materials and services within the next three to four months.subcontractors, all of which will be due in less than one year.
5. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock Transactions
In February 2010, we issued 12,000 shares of our common stock in settlement of an obligation accrued at December 31, 2009 in the amount of $90,000.
We may, from time to time, issue shares of our common stock to consultants or other service providersothers in exchange for services. During August 2009, we entered into an agreement wherebyMarch 2010 we issued 112,500an aggregate of 8,250 shares of our common stock for consulting services and agreed to issue an additional 337,500 shares over the following twelve months. Wewe recorded general and administrative expense of $14,626 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 related to issuance of our common stock in exchange for services, as compared to $18,084 and $55,917 for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively.
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$46,500 related to the transaction.
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 nine month period ended September 30, 2009, we sold 7,526,910 shares to Fusion Capital under the terms of the Purchase Agreement for an aggregate purchase price of $1,040,000, and we also issued an additional 257,972 shares to Fusion Capital pursuant to the pro rata deferred commitment fee arrangement mentioned above.

The exercise price for any option granted may not be less than fair value (110% of fair value for ISO’s 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 51,000,0001,040,000 shares of its common stock for issuance under the 2006 Plan.

Investment Warrants
In addition to outstanding stock options and compensatory warrants, as of September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 we had stock purchase warrants covering a total of 43,181,345848,195 shares of our common stock which were issued to investors in previous transactions. Such warrants have a weighted-average exercise price of $0.34$16.50 per share and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 2.82.3 years. During September 2009, we issued 23,141,289 shares of our common stock and received $1,500,000 upon the exercise of an outstanding stock purchase warrant.
6. 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.
7. 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 generally between $3 and $4 million per year (approximately $18.3 million in the aggregate). The most recent award is for the period September 1, 2009 through August 31, 2010 in the amount of $4.7 million. 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. During the three month period ended March 31, 2010, we recorded $1,338,560 of revenue associated with the grant.

The expense associated with these ongoing patent cost reimbursements to Emory amounted to $21,333 during the three month period ending March 31, 2010.
We have entered into two subcontractsresearch agreements with Emory for the purpose of conducting research and development activities associated with our IPCAVD grant from the NIH (see Note 7). During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009,period ending March 31, 2010, we recorded $389,158 and $853,608$284,131 of expense associated with these subcontracts as compared to $393,697 and $572,699 for the comparable periods of 2008.contracts. All amounts paid to Emory under these subcontractsagreements are reimbursable to us pursuant to the NIH grant.

Management’sOverview
GeoVax, a biotechnology company, focuses on developing vaccines to protect against or to treat diseases caused by HIV. We have exclusively licensed from Emory University vaccine technology which was developed at Emory University in collaboration with the NIH and the CDC.
Our major ongoing research and development programs are focused on the clinical development of our DNA and MVA vaccines (designed for use together in a prime-boost system) for the prevention and/or treatment of HIV/AIDS. We are developing two clinical pathways for our vaccine candidates — (i) as a preventative vaccine to prevent or control infection of individuals who are exposed to the HIV virus, and (ii) as a therapeutic vaccine to prevent development of AIDS in those individuals who have already been infected with the HIV virus.
Our HIV vaccine candidates have successfully completed preclinical efficacy testing in non-human primates and our preventative HIV vaccine candidate has completed Phase 1 clinical testing trials in humans.
Our preventative vaccine candidate is currently in a Phase 2a clinical trial, being conducted by the HIV Vaccine Trials Network, or the “HVTN,” with funding from the NIH. We expect to complete this trial during 2011 based on current patient enrollment rates.
With regard to our therapeutic vaccine candidate, the FDA recently gave allowance to begin a Phase 1 clinical trial. We expect the Phase 1 trial to generate vaccine performance data within 14 to 17 months and trial completion, with full enrollment, within 36 months after the date of first patient enrollment.
In addition to our clinical development program for our vaccine candidates, we are conducting preclinical research on the impact of adding adjuvants (immune system stimulants) to our vaccine components to investigate whether they can improve the effectiveness of our vaccine candidates. This work is being funded by the NIH through an Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development Grant (an “IPCAVD grant”) to GeoVax. If the activities funded by the IPCAVD grant are successful, it may result in a secondary clinical program for the development of the next generation of our HIV/AIDS vaccines.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
This 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 our preventative HIV vaccine candidate has completed 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 generally between $3-4 million per year (approximately $18.3 million in the aggregate). The grant is subject to annual renewal, with the latest grant award covering the period from September 2009 through August 2010 in the amount of $4.7 million. 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, 2008.2009. 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.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.
Revenue Recognition.Recognition
We recognize revenue in accordance with guidance issuedthe SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by the SEC and now codified under FASB ASC Topic 605, “Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,Revenue Recognition, (“SAB 104”). ASC Topic 605SAB 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 primarilysolely of government grant revenue, whichfunding received from the NIH. Revenue from this arrangement is approximately equal to the costs incurred and is recorded as income as the related costs are incurred.
Stock-Based Compensation.CompensationEffective January 1, 2006, we adopted a pronouncements by

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation cost as expense ratably on a straight linestraight-line basis over the requisite service periods of eachperiod for the award.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, we had cash and cash equivalents of $3,416,692$2,603,108 and total assets of $4,274,906,$3,835,150, as compared to $2,191,180$3,515,784 and $3,056,241,$4,315,597, respectively, at December 31, 2008.2009. Working capital totaled $3,665,448$2,580,020 at September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, compared to $2,455,412$3,309,355 at December 31, 2008.2009.
Sources and Uses of Cash.
We are a development-stage company (as defined by ASC Topic 915, "Development Stage Entities) 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 $1,251,755$912,676 for the ninethree month period ended September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 as compared to $1,542,545$460,209 for the comparable period in 2008.2009. 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 or increased by net changes in our assets and liabilities.
InThe costs of conducting all of our human clinical trials to date, except for the therapeutic trial, have been borne by the HVTN, funded by the NIH, with GeoVax incurring costs associated with manufacturing the clinical vaccine supplies and other study support. HVTN and NIH are bearing the cost of conducting our ongoing Phase 2a human clinical study, but we cannot predict the level of support we will receive from the HVTN and NIH for any additional clinical studies. We do not currently anticipate any governmental support for our planned Phase 1 therapeutic vaccine trial.
Our operations are also partially funded by the IPCAVD grant awarded to us in September 2007 by 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 generally between $3 and $4 million per year (approximately $18.3 million in the aggregate). The most recent annual award under the grant is for the period September 1, 2009 through August 31, 2010 in the amount of $4.7 million. We are utilizing this funding to further our HIV/AIDS vaccine development, optimization and production for human clinical trial testing.testing, primarily with regard to our research into vaccine adjuvants. 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. If the annual grant does not occur, we will experience a shortfall in anticipated cash flow and will be required to seek other funds promptly to address the shortfall. 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.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities.
Our investing activities have consisted predominantly of capital expenditures. CapitalThere were no capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2010 or for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 were $62,733 and $71,646, respectively. In September 2009, we executed a lease agreement (effective November 1, 2009) for the relocation of our operations a short distance within the metropolitan Atlanta area. In connection with this move, we expect to incur approximately $115,000comparable period in relocation-related costs (inclusive of facility improvements) and we also expect to incur between $50,000 and $75,000 of costs associated with the acquisition of equipment to replace that which was previously made available to us at our previous location.2009.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,540,000$-0- and $2,408,541$240,000 for the ninethree month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2010 and 2009, and 2008, respectively. During the 2009 period we received $1,040,000$240,000 from the sale of our common stock to Fusion Capital (see discussion below) and $1,500,000 from the exercise ofan investor pursuant to a previously outstanding stock purchase warrantagreement which wasprovided us the right to expiresell shares to the investor through July 31, 2010. We do not plan to sell additional shares under this agreement.
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 September 2009. Duringdevelopment 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 2008 period, we received $2,262,450 from the salenext several years, our business, financial condition and results of our common stock and warrants to individual accredited investors and $146,091 from the sale of our common stock to Fusion Capital, offset by costs associated with the financing arrangement.operations will be adversely impacted.
In May 2008,any event, we signed a Purchase Agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Fusion Capital”) which provides foranticipate raising additional capital during the saleremainder of up to $10 million of shares of our common stock. In connection with this agreement,2010, although there can be no assurance that 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 nine months ended September 30, 2009, we received $1,040,000 from the sale of our common stock to Fusion Capital pursuant to this arrangement. Through September 30, 2009, we have received a cumulative total of $1,700,000 from Fusion Capital, leaving $8,300,000 available pursuant to the Purchase Agreement as of that date. 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 notwill be able to or may be choose not 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.
We believe that our current working capital, combined with the proceeds from the IPCAVD grant awarded annually from the NIH, will be sufficient to support our planned level of operations through 2010. We intend to draw on the Fusion Capital facility to increase our cash reserves to provide funding for our operations beyond 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.do so. 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

12


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.

On March 31, 2010, we filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a best efforts offering of from $5 to $40 million of units consisting of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase 0.20 shares of common stock. The specific number of units to be offered, the price range for the offering and the closing date of the offering have yet to be determined. The first $30 million of units sold in the offering will include only shares offered by the Company; however, the offering will also include up to $10 million of common stock sold by current stockholders. All of the warrants will be issued by the Company. The purpose of the offering will be to raise funds to support expanded clinical trials of our vaccines and for general business purposes. There can be no assurance that we will be able to successfully complete the offering, or that we will be able to sell all of the securities offered.
On April 13, 2010 we increased our authorized capital to 40 million shares (post-reverse split) of common stock, and on April 27, 2010 we implemented a reverse stock split of our common stock with a ratio of 1-for-50. We believe these actions will help us complete the proposed offering by allowing us to qualify our common stock for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, increasing our common stock share price and broadening the pool of investors to include investors who will not invest in shares with low prices, such as certain institutional investors.
We believe that our current working capital, combined with the proceeds from the IPCAVD grant awarded from the NIH, and without consideration given to net proceeds from the offering discussed above will be sufficient to support our planned level of operations through the end of 2010. Assuming the minimum amount of the offering is sold, we expect to have sufficient funding to support our planned operations through mid-2011. Assuming the offering is fully sold, we expect to have sufficient funding to support our planned operations through 2012. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs beyond 2010 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.
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
Since 2001, we have leased the office and laboratory space used for our operations in Atlanta, Georgia under a lease agreement with Emtech Biotechnology Development, Inc., a related party associated with Emory University. In September 2009, we executed a lease agreement, effective November 1, 2009, for approximately 8400 square feet of office and laboratory space located in Smyrna, Georgia (the “Smyrna Facility”) and we will vacate the Emtech facility during November 2009. Future minimum lease payments pursuant to the 62 month lease for the Smyrna Facility total approximately $608,000. As of September 30, 2009, we had approximately $20,000 of unrecorded outstanding purchase commitments to our vendors and subcontractors; we expect to receive and pay for these materials and services within the next three to four months
As of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, we had no other material firm purchase obligations or commitments,of approximately $830,000 as compared to less than $10,000 at December 31, 2009; the increase relates to initiation of a vaccine manufacturing contract. We have no committed lines of credit and no other committed funding or long-term debt. We have employment agreements with our senior management team, each of which may be terminated with 30 days advance notice. WeThere have been no other contractual obligations, withmaterial changes to the exception of commitments which are contingent upontable presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the occurrence of future events.year ended December 31, 2009.
Results of Operations
Net Loss
We recorded a net loss of $230,815$690,789 for the three months ended September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 as compared to $722,108$861,509 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a net loss of $2,440,977, as compared to a net loss of $2,688,970 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008.March 31, 2009. Our net losses will 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 nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 we recorded grant revenue of $1,808,551 and $3,271,506, respectively,$1,338,560, as compared to $1,322,502 and $2,298,571, respectively,$710,155 during the comparable periodsperiod of 2008.2009. During 2007, we were awarded an Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development (IPCAVD)the 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 generally between $3 to $4 million per year (approximately $18.3 million in the aggregate). We are utilizing this funding to further our HIV/AIDS vaccine development, optimization and production.production, primarily with regard to our research into vaccine adjuvants. The grant is subject to annual renewal, with the latest grant award covering the period from September 2009 through August 2010 in the amount of $4.7 million. As of September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, there is approximately $4.6$2.7 million remaining from the current grant year’s award and (assuming that the remaining budgeted amounts under the grant are awarded annually to the Company) there is an additional $7.5 million available through the grant for the remainder of the original five year project period (endingending August 31, 2012).

Research and Development
During the three month and nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, we incurred $1,470,200 and $3,530,329, respectively,$1,369,185, of research and development expense as compared to $1,362,490 and $2,725,176, respectively,$857,236, during the three month and nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 2008. Research and development expense for the three month and nine month periods of 2009 includes stock-based compensation expense of $85,439 and $256,316, respectively, while the comparable periods of 2008 include stock-based compensation expense of $53,712 and $438,937, respectively (see discussion under “Stock-Based Compensation Expense” below).
March 31, 2009. 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. Research and development expense includes stock-based compensation expense of $51,446 and $85,439 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively (see discussion below). Our research and development costs do not include costs incurred by HVTN in conducting trials of GeoVax vaccines.
The increase in research and development expense fromduring the 2008 periodsthree months ended March 31, 2010, as compared to the same period in 2009, periods is due primarily to increased 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 NIHIPCAVD grant, and higher personnel costs associated with the addition of new scientific personnel. Our recently initiated Phase 2a clinical trial for our preventative vaccine is being conducted and funded by the HVTN, but we are responsible for the manufacture of vaccine product to be used in the

13


trial. We cannot predict the level of support we may receive from the 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 induring the remainder of 2010 and beyond as we progress through the human clinical trial process leading up to possible product approval by the FDA. We do not currently anticipate any governmental support for our planned Phase 1 therapeutic vaccine trial.
General and Administrative Expense
During the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, we incurredOur general and administrative costs of $573,906 and $2,203,776, respectively,expenses were $668,821 during the three months ended March 31, 20010, as compared to $698,948 and $2,322,292, respectively,$723,815 during the three month and nine month periodsmonths ended September 30, 2008.March 31, 2009. 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 nine month periods of 2009 includeincludes stock-based compensation expense of $262,021$167,166 and $890,974, respectively; while$303,381, for the comparable periods of 2008 include stock-based compensation expense of $352,118three months ended March 31, 2010 and $1,181,358,2009, 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 nine month periods ended September 30, 2009, weWe recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $347,460$218,612 and $1,117,290,$388,820 during the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, which is included inwas allocated to research and development expense or general and administrative expense according to the classification of cash compensation paid to the employee, consultant or director to whichwhom the stock compensation was granted.

Item 3Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our exposure to market risk is limited primarily to interest income sensitivity, which is affected by changes in the general level of United States interest rates, particularly because a significant portion of our investments are in short-term bank certificates of deposits and institutional money market funds. The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income received without significantly increasing risk. Due to the nature of our short-term investments, we believe that we are not subject to any material market risk exposure. We do not currently have any market risk sensitivederivative financial 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.instruments.
Item 4Controls and Procedures
