NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

Advaxis, Inc. (the(“Advaxis” or the “Company”) is a clinical development stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of proprietaryLm- LLO cancer immunotherapies. These immunotherapies are based on a platform technology that utilizes live attenuatedListeria monocytogenes (“Lm”), bioengineered to secrete antigen/adjuvant fusion proteins. TheseLm -LLO strains are believed to be a significant advancement in immunotherapy as they integrate multiple functions into a single immunotherapy as they access and direct antigen presenting cells to stimulate anti-tumor T-cell immunity, stimulate and activate the immune system with the equivalent of multiple adjuvants, and simultaneously reduce tumor protection in the tumor microenvironment to enable the T-cells to eliminate tumors. Other immunotherapies may employ individual elements of the Company’s comprehensive approach, but, to its knowledge, none combine all of these elements together in a single, easily administered, well-tolerated yet comprehensive immunotherapy.

ADXS-HPV is Advaxis’ lead immunotherapy product candidate for the treatment of human papilloma virus (“HPV”)-associated cancers.   The Company completed a Phase 2 study in 110109 patients with recurrent cervical cancer in India that demonstrated a manageable safety profile, improved survival and objective tumor responses, providing the rationaleresponses. The Company plans to advance this immunotherapy tointo registrational Phase 3 trials for the treatment of women with recurrent cervical cancer. ADXS-HPV has received orphan drug designation for three HPV-associated cancers: cervical, head and neck, and anal cancer, and is being evaluated in three ongoing cooperative group and investigator-initiated clinical trials for HPV-associated cancer as follows: locally advanced cervical cancer (with the Gynecologic Oncology Group (“GOG”)Group), largely underwritten by the National Cancer Institute (“NCI”); head and neck cancer (with the IchanIcahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, (“MSSM”U.S.); (U.S); and anal cancer (Brown University, Oncology Group, (“BrUOG”), U.S.). In addition,Advaxis is also developing two other cancer immunotherapies: ADXS-PSA for the treatment of prostate cancer; and ADXS-cHER2 that targets the HER2 receptor, which is overexpressed in certain solid-tumor cancers, including osteosarcoma in human and canine, and breast cancer.  The Company has received orphan drug designation for ADXS-cHER2 in osteosarcoma. Over twenty distinct additional constructs have been developed immunotherapies for prostate cancer and HER2 overexpressing cancers (such as breast, gastric and other cancers in humans and osteosarcoma in canines). Over fifteen distinct constructs are into various stages of development, developed directly by the Company and through strategic collaborations with recognized centers of excellence.

Since inception in 2002, the Company has focused its development efforts on understanding its platform technology and establishing a drug development pipeline that incorporates this technology into therapeutic cancer immunotherapies, currently those targeting HPV-associated cancer (cervical cancer, head and neck cancer and anal cancer), prostate cancer, and HER2 overexpressing cancers. Although no immunotherapies have been commercialized to date, research and development and investment continues to be placed behind the pipeline and the advancement of this technology. Pipeline development and the further exploration of the technology for advancement entailentails risk and expense. The Company anticipates that its ongoing operational costs will increase significantly as it continues conducting its clinical development program.

From inception through the period ended January 31, 2014, Advaxis Inc. was a development stage company. In the current period, the Company exited the development stage upon its execution of a license agreement with Aratana Therapeutics Inc. (“Aratana”). This provided an upfront payment of $1M, in the current period, which the Company recognized and earned as revenue.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

 

The Company’s products are being developed and have not generated significant revenues. As a result, the Company has suffered recurring losses. These losses are expected to continue for an extended period of time.  However, in the three months ended April 30, 2014, the Company recorded $1 million in revenue pursuant to a licensing agreement with Aratana. The licensing agreement provides for potentially significant revenues based on the achievement of event-based milestones in the future. In addition, the Company has successfully completed a public offering of its common stock in October 2013, resulting in approximately $24$24.3 million in net proceeds, and an additional public offering in March 2014, resulting in $12.6 million in net proceeds. Lastly, the Company received $1.9 million in net proceeds from Aratana Therapeutics and Global Biopharma Inc., related to the purchase of common stock. The Company believes its current cash position is sufficient to fund its business plan for the next eighteen months.

through its fiscal year ending October 31, 2015.

The Company recognizes it will need to raise additional capital over and above the amount raised during both October 2013 and March 2014 in order to continue to execute its business plan. Subsequent to January 31,April 30, 2014, the Company plansmay plan to continue to raise additional funds through the sales of equity securities. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company or whether the Company will become profitable and generate positive operating cash flow. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to scale back its business plan, extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation - Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to represent a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended October 31, 2013 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2013, as filed with the SEC on January 29, 2014.

Revenue Recognition

The Company is expected to derive the majority of its revenue in 2014 from patent licensing. In general, these revenue arrangements provide for the payment of contractually determined fees in consideration for the grant of certain intellectual property rights for patented technologies owned or controlled by the Company. The intellectual property rights granted may be perpetual in nature, or upon the final milestones being met, or can be granted for a defined, relatively short period of time, with the licensee possessing the right to renew the agreement at the end of each contractual term for an additional minimum upfront payment. The Company recognizes licensing fees when there is persuasive evidence of a licensing arrangement, fees are fixed or determinable, delivery has occurred and collectability is reasonably assured.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing license fee receivables, using historical experience. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts periodically. Past due accounts are reviewed individually for collectability.

Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. To date, this is yet to occur.

If product development is successful, the Company will recognize revenue from royalties based on licensees’ sales of its products or products using its technologies. Royalties are recognized as earned in accordance with the contract terms when royalties from licensees can be reasonably estimated and collectability is reasonably assured. If royalties cannot be reasonably estimated or collectability of a royalty amount is not reasonably assured, royalties are recognized as revenue when the cash is received.

The Company recognizes revenue from milestone payments received under collaboration agreements when earned, provided that the milestone event is substantive, its achievability was not reasonably assured at the inception of the agreement, the Company has no further performance obligations relating to the event and collection is reasonably assured. If these criteria are not met, the Company recognizes milestone payments ratably over the remaining period of the Company’s performance obligations under the collaboration agreement. All such recognized revenues are included in collaborative licensing and development revenue in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)GAAP involves the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ substantially from these estimates. Significant estimates include the fair value and recoverability of the carrying value of intangible assets (patents and licenses), the fair value of options, the fair value of embedded conversion features, warrants and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from estimates.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

 

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts (checking) that at times exceed federally insured limits. Approximately $15.2$27.0 million is subject to credit risk at January 31,April 30, 2014. However, these cash balances are maintained at creditworthy financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amounts of the financing arrangements issued approximate fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because interest rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates after consideration of stated interest rates, anti-dilution protection and associated warrants.
Net Loss per Share

Basic net income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share give effect to dilutive options, warrants, convertible debt and other potential common stock equivalents outstanding during the period. Therefore, in the case of a net loss the impact of the potential common stock resulting from warrants, outstanding stock options and convertible debt are not included in the computation of diluted loss per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. In the case of net income the impact of the potential common stock resulting from these instruments that have intrinsic value are included in the diluted earnings per share. The table sets forth the number of potential shares of common stock that have been excluded from diluted net loss per share.

Convertible Debt (using the if-converted method)  3,354   333,047 
Total  5,243,720   1,714,642 

Stock Based Compensation

The Company has an equity plan which allows for the granting of stock options to its employees, directors and consultants for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at date of grant.  The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

The above stock-based compensation for employees, executives and directors is measured based on the fair market value of the shares issued on the date of grant and is to be recognized over the requisite service period in both research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amounts of the financing arrangements issued approximate fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because interest rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates after consideration of stated interest rates, anti-dilution protection and associated warrants.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

Warrant Liability/Embedded Derivative Liability

 

Warrant Liability

As of January 31,April 30, 2014, the Company had approximately561,000approximately 589,000 of its total approximately4.4 4.5 million total warrants classified as liabilities (liability warrants). Of these 561,000589,000 liability warrants, approximately283,000approximately 311,000 warrants are outstanding and278,000and approximately 278,000 warrants are exchange warrants – nonexercisable. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes Model (BSM Model) to calculate the fair value of these warrants at issuance and at each subsequent reporting date. For those warrants with exercise price reset features (anti-dilution provisions), the Company computes multiple valuations, each quarter, using an adjusted BSM, Model, to account for the various possibilities that could occur due to changes in the inputs to the BSM Model as a result of contractually-obligated changes (for example, changes in strike price to account for down-round provisions). The Company effectively weights each calculation based on the likelihood of occurrence to determine the value of the warrants at the reporting date. At January 31,April 30, 2014, approximately204,000 238,000 of the 561,000589,000 liability warrants are subject to weighted-average anti-dilution provisions. A certain number of liability warrants contain a cash settlement provision in the event of a fundamental transaction (as defined in the common stock purchase warrant). Any changes in the fair value of the warrant liability (i.e. - the total fair value of all outstanding liability warrants at the balance sheet date) between reporting periods will be reported on the statement of operations.

As of October 31, 2013, the Company had approximately565,000 of its total approximately4.3approximately 4.3 million total warrants classified as liabilities (liability warrants). Of these 565,000 liability warrants, approximately287,000approximately 287,000 warrants are outstanding and approximately 278,000 warrants are exchange warrants – nonexercisable. The Company utilizes the BSM Model to calculate the fair value of these warrants at issuance and at each subsequent reporting date. For those warrants with exercise price reset features (anti-dilution provisions), the Company computes multiple valuations, each quarter, using an adjusted BSM, Model, to account for the various possibilities that could occur due to changes in the inputs to the BSM model as a result of contractually-obligated changes (for example, changes in strike price to account for down-round provisions). The Company effectively weights each calculation based on the likelihood of occurrence to determine the value of the warrants at the reporting date. At October 31, 2013, approximately203,000 of the 565,000 liability warrants are subject to anti-dilution provisions. A certain number of liability warrants contain a cash settlement provision in the event of a fundamental transaction (as defined in the common stock purchase warrant). Any changes in the fair value of the warrant liability (i.e. - the total fair value of all outstanding liability warrants at the balance sheet date) between reporting periods will be reported on the statement of operations.

At January 31,April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the fair value of the warrant liability was approximately $516,000$245,374 and $647,000,$646,734, respectively. For the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2014 and January 31, 2013, the Company reported income of approximately $132,000$273,849 and a loss of approximately $2.9 million,$79,838, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of the warrant liability.

For the six months ended April 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company reported income of $405,797 and a loss of $3,943,761, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of the warrant liability.

Warrants with anti-dilution provisions

Some of the Company’s warrants (approximately 204,000)238,000) contain anti-dilution provisions originally set at $25.00$25.00 with a term of five years. As of January 31,April 30, 2014, these warrants had an exercise price of approximately $9.16.$7.86. As of October 31, 2013, these warrants had an exercise price of approximately $9.26.$9.24. If the Company issues any common stock, , except for exempt issuances as defined in the warrant agreement for consideration less than the exercise price then the exercise price and the amount of warrant shares available would be adjusted to a new price and amount of shares per the “ weighted“weighted average” formula included in the warrant agreement. For the three and six months ended January 31,April 30, 2014, this anti-dilution provision required the Company to issue approximately1,700 34,000 and 35,700 additional warrant shares;shares, respectively; and the exercise price to be lowered to $9.16.$7.86. Any future financial offering or instrument issuance below the current exercise price of $9.16$7.86 will cause further anti-dilution and re-pricing provisions in approximately 204,000238,000 of itsour total outstanding warrants.

 

For those warrants with exercise price reset features (anti-dilution provisions), the Company computes multiple valuations, each quarter, using an adjusted BSM, model, to account for the various possibilities that could occur due to changes in the inputs to the BSM model as a result of contractually-obligated changes (for example, changes in strike price to account for down-round provisions). The Company utilized different exercise prices of $9.16$7.86 and $7.50,$6.50, weighting the possibility of warrants being exercised at $9.16$7.86 between40% 40% and50% 50% and warrants being exercised at $7.50$6.50 between60% 60% and50% 50%.

As of January 31,April 30, 2014, there were outstanding warrants to purchase4,360,441 4,541,454 shares of the Company’s Common Stock including exchange warrants - nonexercisable to purchase278,329 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with exercise prices ranging from $2.76$2.76 to $21.25$21.25 per share.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is established based on the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in the Company’s existing license fee receivables, using historical experience. The Company reviews its allowance for doubtful accounts periodically. Past due accounts are reviewed individually for collectability.

Account balances are charged off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. To date, this is yet to occur.

The Company recognizes revenue from royalties based on licensees’ sales of its products or products using its technologies. Royalties are recognized as earned in accordance with the contract terms when royalties from licensees can be reasonably estimated and collectability is reasonably assured. If royalties cannot be reasonably estimated or collectability of a royalty amount is not reasonably assured, royalties are recognized as revenue when the cash is received. 

The Company recognizes revenue from milestone payments received under collaboration agreements when earned, provided that the milestone event is substantive, its achievability was not reasonably assured at the inception of the agreement, the Company has no further performance obligations relating to the event and collection is reasonably assured. If these criteria are not met, the Company recognizes milestone payments ratably over the remaining period of the Company’s performance obligations under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

12. FAIR VALUE

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

·

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

·

Level 2—2 — Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

·

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities

Events that occurred after the quarter

FDA Grants End-of-Phase 2 Type B Meeting to Review Clinical Data and Discuss the Potential Next Phase IIof the AXDS-HPV Development Program

On June 9, 2014, the Company was granted an End of Phase 2 meeting with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”).   The purpose of an end-of-phase 2 meeting with the FDA is to review clinical trialsfindings, to date, in order to assess ADXS-HPV’s safety and any additional information needed before moving forward with the next phase of clinical study.  The meeting will establish a dialogue with the FDA on ADXS-HPV during which we can obtain agency recommendations and feedback on the next steps we need to take in investigating this important immunotherapy product candidate.   We plan to prepare and provide the FDA with a comprehensive package detailing our investigational invasive cervical cancer therapy, our phase 1 and 2 clinical findings, and our plan for a transition into a pivotal phase 3 program.

Data presented at the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine Forum – ADXS-cHER2

On June 6, 2014, the Company announced that principal investigator, Nicola Mason, B.Vet. Med, PhD, DACVIM, of the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, presented updated data from the ongoing ADXS-cHER2 study in canine osteosarcoma at the 2014 American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine (ACVIM) Forum in Nashville, TN. ADXS-cHER2 is an immunotherapy that targets the HER2 receptor, which is overexpressed in certain solid-tumor cancers, including canine and human bone cancer and breast cancer.

The preliminary findings of the Phase 1 clinical trial in dogs with osteosarcoma suggest that ADXS-cHER2 is safe and well tolerated at doses up to advance3 x 109 CFU with no evidence of cardiac, hematological, or other systemic toxicities. The study determined that ADXS-cHER2 is able to delay or prevent metastatic disease and significantly prolong overall survival in dogs with osteosarcoma that had minimal residual disease following standard of care (amputation and follow-up chemotherapy). At the time of Dr. Mason’s presentation, 80% of the dogs treated (n=15) were still alive and median survival had not yet been reached; median survival in control dogs (n=13) was 316 days. Immunological analyses are also being conducted in this study to further evaluate the immune response to ADXS-cHER2. Dr. Mason is also conducting a second study evaluating combination therapy with ADXS-cHER2 immunotherapy to registrational Phase III trialsand radiation for dogs with primary osteosarcoma that cannot undergo amputation.

Data Published by Researchers at the National Cancer Institute Further Identifies Lm-LLO Immunotherapy Eradicates Tumors

On June 4, 2014, the Company announced the publication of preclinical research with its lead candidate, ADXS-HPV for the treatment of HPV-associated cancers in the journal, Cancer Immunology Research. In this publication, researchers at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) reported on the biologic mechanisms behind the unique ability of ADXS-HPV to decrease the immunosuppressive activity of Tregs in the tumor microenvironment that result in increased anti-tumor activity. This research demonstrates the critical role of the tLLO peptide fusion and the strong adjuvant effect of tLLO as contributing to the increase in activated T-cells and the relative decrease in the number of Tregs in tumors, thereby increasing anti-tumor activity.

The research was conducted by Dr. Zhisong Chen, Dr. Samir Khleif and their research team at the Vaccine Branch, center for Cancer Research, NCI, NIH. The research was supported by the Intramural Research Program of the Center for Cancer Research, NCI, NIH and funded in part by Advaxis through a collaborative research and development agreement. The publication, entitled, “Episomal expression of a truncated listeriolysin O (LLO) in LmddA-LLO-E7 vaccine enhances anti-tumor efficacy by preferentially inducing CD4+FoxP3- T cell and CD8+ T cell expansion,” by Drs. Chen, Ozbun, Chong, Wallecha, Berzofsky, and Khleif, reported the complete regression of tumors in about 40% of mice after two vaccinations with ADXS-HPV. Furthermore, with the exception of one, these mice survived at least six months without relapse.

Final Data Results for ADXS-HPV – Long-Term Survival in Patients with Cervical Cancer

On May 31, 2014, the Company announced final results from the Phase 2 clinical study of its lead immunotherapy product candidate, ADXS-HPV, in women with recurrent cervical cancer at the 2014 American Society of Clinical Oncology Annual Meeting in Chicago, Illinois. The results showed that ADXS-HPV was well-tolerated and that 22% (24/109) of the patients were long-term survivors (LTS) >18 months. 18% (16/91) of patients were alive for more than 24 months. Of the 109 patients treated in the study, LTS included not only patients with tumor shrinkage but also included patients who experienced increased tumor burden as their best tumor response overall. 17% (19/109) of the patients in the trial had recurrence of disease after at least two prior treatments for their cervical cancer; these patients comprised 8% (2/24) of LTS. Among the LTS, 25% (3/11) of patients had an ECOG performance status of 2, a patient population that is often excluded from clinical trials because of their poor survival.

Master Services Agreement with inVentiv Health Clinical

On May 29, 2014, the Company and inVentiv Health Clinical (“inVentiv”), a leading global clinical research organization (“CRO”), announced that they have entered into a master services agreement for the clinical development of certain immunotherapy product candidates in Advaxis’s proprietary pipeline. The agreement is global and will focus initially on Advaxis’s lead immunotherapy for cervical cancer, ADXS-HPV.

Under the terms of the agreement inVentiv can provide Advaxis with full CRO services to execute clinical studies for the current Advaxis cancer immunotherapy product candidates including ADXS-HPV for cervical cancer, and other HPV- associated cancer; ADXS-cHER2 for pediatric osteosarcoma and other HER2 over-expressing cancer and ADXS-PSA for prostate cancer. In addition, pending regulatory approval, Advaxis can leverage inVentiv’s significant commercialization capabilities in select countries, should it seek to do so.

inVentiv will work with Advaxis to develop clinical study protocols and will serve as the CRO on the planned registrational trials that will evaluate the safety and efficacy of ADXS-HPV in women with recurrent cervical cancer. In addition, inVentiv will provide feasibility and study start-up activities for the planned clinical development of ADXS-cHER2 in pediatric osteosarcoma. 

Orphan Drug Designation – ADXS-cHER2 for the treatment of Osteosarcoma

On May 27, 2014, the Company announced that it has been granted Orphan Drug Designation (ODD) from the FDA Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) for ADXS-cHER2 for the treatment of osteosarcoma.

Based on strong pre-clinical and canine osteosarcoma clinical data, Advaxis is planning to initiate a clinical development program with ADXS-cHER2 in pediatric patients with osteosarcoma. Pediatric osteosarcoma affects about 400 children and teens in the U.S. every year, representing a small but significant unmet medical need that has seen little therapeutic advancement in decades. Both veterinary and human osteosarcoma specialists consider canine osteosarcoma to be the most analogous disease to human osteosarcoma.

Clinical Development Program for Pediatric Osteosarcoma

On May 5, 2014, the Company announced that it intends to initiate a clinical development program with its product candidate, ADXS-cHER2, for the treatment of pediatric osteosarcoma. ADXS-cHER2 is an immunotherapy that targets the HER2 oncogene, which is overexpressed in certain solid-tumor cancers, including osteosarcoma in human and canine, and breast cancer. In a veterinarian clinical study, pet dogs with naturally occurring osteosarcoma treated with ADXS-cHER2 after the standard of care showed a statistically significant prolonged overall survival benefit compared with dogs that received standard of care without ADXS-cHER2. Both veterinary and human osteosarcoma specialists consider canine osteosarcoma to be an appropriate model for human osteosarcoma.

The Company has entered into a Master Service Agreement with Southern Research Institute, initiating the necessary toxicology work in support of our IND. Subsequent to the initial clinical development program in pediatric osteosarcoma, the Company plans to initiate other protocols in HER2 overexpressing cancers.

Orphan Drug Designation – ADXS-HPV for invasive cervical cancer

On May 1, 2014, the Company announced that it has been granted Orphan Drug Designation from the FDA OOPD for ADXS-HPV, its lead immunotherapy drug candidate, for the treatment of Stage II-IV invasive cervical cancer.

Orphan Drug Designation is granted to drug therapies intended to treat diseases or conditions that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Orphan Drug Designation entitles the sponsor to clinical protocol assistance with the FDA, as well as annual grant funding, tax credits, waiver of PDUFA filing fees, and potentially a seven year market exclusivity period.

ADXS-HPV Head and Neck study at Mount Sinai

Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai is currently conducting an investigator IND trial to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and immunogenicity of ADXS-HPV in patients with head and neck cancer. While the trial is currently opened to enrollment, the enrollment is occurring at a slower pace than expected. Therefore, we will most likely not have data from this trial this year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31,APRIL 30, 2014 AND 2013

Revenue

This period we transitioned from a development stage company to an operating company. On March 19, 2014, we and Aratana Therapeutics Inc. (“Aratana”) entered into a definitive Exclusive License Agreement (“Agreement”) pursuant to which we granted Aratana an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, license, with the right to sublicense, certain Advaxis proprietary technology that enables Aratana to develop and commercialize animal health products that will be targeted for treatment of osteosarcoma and other cancer indications in animals. Under the terms of the agreement. Aratana paid us an upfront payment of $1 million. As this license has stand-alone value to Aratana (who has the ability to sublicense) and was delivered to Aratana upon execution of the Agreement, we properly recorded the $1 million payment as licensing revenue in the three months ended April 30, 2014.

We did not record any revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2014 andApril 30, 2013.

Research and Development Expenses

We make significant investments in research and development in support of our development programs both clinically and pre-clinically. Research and development expenses increased by approximately $581,000costs are expensed as incurred and primarily include salary and benefit costs, third-party grants, fees paid to approximately $1,560,000clinical research organizations, and supply costs. Research and development expense was $1.5 million for the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2014, as compared with approximately $979,000$2.1 million for the same period a year ago, resulting from higher compensation costs of approximately $295,000 (of which approximately $191,000 were non-cash expenses) in addition to higher patent-related and consulting costs associated with expanded research and development activities. Clinical trial expenses, in the three months ended January 31, 2014, were essentially flat when compared with the same periodApril 30, 2013, a year ago, resulting from higher clinicaldecrease of $0.6 million. The decrease was primarily a result of lower stock compensation costs and lower direct trial costs associated with the close-out of our India-based trial, being essentiallyPhase 2 program, partially offset by lower domestic clinical costs.

higher consulting and professional fees.

We anticipate a significant increase in research and development expenses as a result of our intended expanded development and commercialization efforts primarily related to clinical trials and product development. In addition, we expect to incur expenses will be incurred in the development of strategic and other relationships required to license manufacture and distribute our product candidates.

candidates when they are approved.

General and administrative expense was $2.1 million for the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2014, as compared with approximately $1,202,000$3.4 million for the same period a year ago, resulting from higher compensation costs of approximately $1,410,000 (of which approximately $1,100,000 million represent share-based compensation) in addition to higheryear-over-year consulting expenses of approximately $800,000 million (of which approximately $600,000 million represent non-cash expense). The Company also incurred expense, in the current period, related to the final settlement of an ongoing claim that was not incurred in the same period a year ago.

Interest Expense
For the three months ended January 31,April 30, 2013, a decrease of $1.3 million. The decrease was primarily a result of lower stock compensation costs, slightly offset by higher severance costs related to a former employee.

Substantially all of the outstanding principal at January 31,April 30, 2013 was converted or repaid during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, resulting in a significant decrease in interest expense at January 31, 2014. In addition, the Company recognized non-cash expense of approximately $157,000 related to the issuance of the Commitment Fee Shares to Hanover, under the Equity Enhancement Program, in the three months ended January 31, 2013. No such expense was recognized in the three months ended January 31, 2014, resulting in lower overall interest expense for the current period when compared to the same period a year ago.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED APRIL 30, 2014 AND 2013

Revenue

This period we transitioned from a development stage company to an operating company. On March 19, 2014, we and Aratana Therapeutics Inc. (“Aratana”) entered into a definitive Exclusive License Agreement (“Agreement”) pursuant to which we granted Aratana an exclusive, worldwide, royalty-bearing, license, with the right to sublicense, certain, Advaxis proprietary technology that enables Aratana to develop and commercialize animal health products that will be targeted for treatment of osteosarcoma and other cancer indications in animals. Under the terms of the agreement, Aratana paid us an upfront payment of $1 million. As this license has stand-alone value to Aratana (who has the ability to sublicense) and was delivered to Aratana upon execution of the Agreement, we properly recorded the $1 million payment as licensing revenue for the six months ended April 30, 2014.

We did not record any revenue for the six months ended April 30, 2013.

Research and Development Expenses

We make significant investments in research and development in support of our development programs both clinically and pre-clinically. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and primarily include salary and benefit costs, third-party grants, fees paid to clinical research organizations, and supply costs. Research and development expense was $3.1 million for the six months ended April 30, 2014, compared with $3.1 million for the six months ended April 30, 2013. While the results were essentially flat period over period, there was a decrease in stock compensation costs and lower direct trial costs associated with the close-out of our India-based Phase 2 program, which were offset by higher consulting and professional fees.

We anticipate a significant increase in research and development expenses as a result of our intended expanded development and commercialization efforts primarily related to clinical trials and product development. In addition, we expect to incur expenses in the development of strategic and other relationships required to license, manufacture and distribute our product candidates when they are approved.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses primarily include salary and benefit costs for employees included in our finance, legal and administrative organizations, costs related to the development of new products, outside legal and professional services, and facilities costs. General and administrative expense was $6.4 million for the six months ended April 30, 2014, compared with $4.6 million for the six months ended April 30, 2013, an increase of $1.8 million. The increase was primarily a result of higher consulting and professional fees, including the payout of aged payables in the current period. In addition, overall compensation expense was higher in the current period resulting from additional employees when compared with the same period a year ago as well as severance costs related to a former employee. 

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $5,253 for the six months ended April 30, 2014, compared with $457,162 for the six months ended April 30, 2013. The decrease was a result of the significant reduction in overall debt from approximately $2.2 million in outstanding principal at April 30, 2013 to $62,882 in outstanding principal at April 30, 2014. In addition, we recorded $157,150 in non-cash interest expense, in the prior period, related to the issuance of 3.5 million shares (Commitment Fee Shares) under the Hanover Purchase Agreement.

Other Income / (Expense)

Other income was $19,321 for the six months ended April 30, 2014, compared with $1,446 in income for the six months ended April 30, 2013. Interest income earned for the six months ended April 30, 2014 reflected interest income earned on the Company’s savings account balance. Interest income earned for the six months ended April 30, 2013 reflected the result of interest income from payments made to us under the terms of a convertible promissory note, slightly offset by expense related to unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates relating to transactions with certain vendors.

(Loss) Gain on Note Retirement and Accounts Payable

For the six months ended April 30, 2014, we recorded non-cash income of $6,243 primarily resulting from the settlement of outstanding payables with shares of our common stock at a discount.

For the six months ended April 30, 2013, we recorded non-cash income of $347,286 primarily resulting from the settlement of outstanding payables with shares of our common stock at a discount. This income was partially offset by charges incurred related to the conversion of notes into shares of our common stock by investors.

Changes in Fair Values

 For the six months ended April 30, 2014, we recorded non-cash income from changes in the fair value of the warrant liability of $405,797 resulting from a decrease in the fair value of each liability warrant due to a decrease in our share price from $3.74 at October 31, 2013 to $2.72 at April 30, 2014 in addition to a smaller range of share prices used in the calculation of the BSM volatility input.

For the six months ended April 30, 2013, we recorded non-cash expense from changes in the fair value of the warrant liability of approximately $4,000,000. In the current period, the increase in expense of approximately $4,000,000 resulted$3,943,761 resulting from an increase in the fair value of each liability warrant due to an increase in our share price from $0.045,$5.63, at October 31, 2012 to $0.072$8.31 at January 31, 2013April 30, 2013.

Our limited capital resources and operations to date have been funded primarily with the proceeds from public and private equity, and debt financings, NOL tax sales and income earned on investments and grants. We have sustained losses from operations in each fiscal year since our inception, and we expect losses to continue for the indefinite future, due to the substantial investment in research and development. As of January 31,April 30, 2014 and October 31, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $75,653,215$77,967,832 and $70,465,823, respectively and shareholders’ equity of $14,859,802$27,499,862 and $18,002,142, respectively.

The Company believes its current cash position is sufficient to fund its business plan for the next eighteen months.through our fiscal year ending October 31, 2015. This assessment is based on current estimates and assumptions regarding our clinical development program and business needs. Actual results could differ materially from this projection. Subsequent to January 31,April 30, 2014, the Company plansmay plan to continue to raise additional funds through the sales of debt and/or equity securities.

securities as needed.

The Company recognizes it will need to raise additional capital over and above the amountamounts raised both during October 2013 and March 2014 in order to continue to execute its business plan. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company or whether the Company will become profitable and generate positive operating cash flow. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to scale back its business plan, extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of January 31,April 30, 2014, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

 The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures in the financial statements. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:

it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and
changes in the estimate of difference estimates that could have been selected could have material impact in our results of operations or financial condition.

it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and
changes in the estimate of difference estimates that could have been selected could have material impact in our results of operations or financial condition.

While we base our estimates and judgments on our experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material. The most significant estimates impact the following transactions or account balances: stock compensation, warrant valuation impairment of intangibles,and dilution caused by anti-dilution provisions in the warrants and other agreements.

 

Stock Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation using fair value recognition and record stock-based compensation as a charge to earnings net of the estimated impact of forfeited awards. As such, we recognize stock-based compensation cost only for those stock-based awards that are estimated to ultimately vest over their requisite service period, based on the vesting provisions of the individual grants.

The process of estimating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards and recognizing stock-based compensation cost over their requisite service period involves significant assumptions and judgments. We estimate the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-valuation modelBSM for the remaining awards, which requires that we make certain assumptions regarding: (i) the expected volatility in the market price of our common stock; (ii) dividend yield; (iii) risk-free interest rates; and (iv) the period of time employees are expected to hold the award prior to exercise (referred to as the expected holding period). As a result, if we revise our assumptions and estimates, our stock-based compensation expense could change materially for future grants.

Stock-based compensation for employees, executives and directors is measured based on the fair value of the shares issued on the date of grant and is to be recognized over the requisite service period in both research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value, as of the balance sheet date presented, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amounts of the financing arrangements issued approximate fair value, as of the balance sheet date presented, because interest rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates after consideration of stated interest rates, anti-dilution protection and associated warrants. The estimate of fair value of such financial instruments involves the exercise of significant judgment and the use of estimates by management

management.

 

Derivative Financial instruments

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The determination of fair value requires the use of judgment and estimates by management. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we used the Black-Scholes valuation modelBSM which approximated the binomial lattice options pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The variables used in the model are projected based on our historical data, experience, and other factors. Changes in any of these variables could result in material adjustments to the expense recognized for changes in the valuation of the warrant derivative liability.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is: (1) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and (2) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC'sSEC’s rules and forms.

In conjunction with this evaluation, we initiated the development of control design documents and are currently reviewing the recommendations and will implement change as appropriate.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In March 2014, our previous Chief Financial Officer left the Company and a new Chief Financial Officer was appointed. During the quarter ended January 31,April 30, 2014, there were no other significant changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Company is from time to time involved in legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. The Company does not believe that any of these claims or proceedings against us is likely to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on the financial condition or results of operations. Refer to Footnote 10: Commitments and Contingencies for more information on legal proceedings.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Drug discovery and development is a complex, time-consuming and expensive process that is fraught with risk and a high rate of failure.

Product candidates are subject to extensive pre-clinical testing and clinical trials to demonstrate their safety and efficacy in humans. Conducting pre-clinical testing and clinical trials is a lengthy, time-consuming and expensive process that takes many years. We cannot be sure that pre-clinical testing or clinical trials of any of our product candidates will demonstrate the safety, efficacy and benefit-to-risk profile necessary to obtain marketing approvals. In addition, product candidates that experience success in pre-clinical testing and early-stage clinical trials will not necessarily experience the same success in late-stage clinical trials, which are required for marketing approval.

Even if we are successful in advancing a product candidate into the clinical development stage, before obtaining regulatory and marketing approvals, we must demonstrate through extensive human clinical trials that the product candidate is safe and effective for its intended use. Human clinical trials must be carried out under protocols that are acceptable to regulatory authorities and to the independent committees responsible for the ethical review of clinical studies. There may be delays in preparing protocols or receiving approval for them that may delay the start or completion of the clinical trials. In addition, clinical practices vary globally, and there is a lack of harmonization among the guidance provided by various regulatory bodies of different regions and countries with respect to the data that is required to receive marketing approval, which makes designing global trials increasingly complex. There are a number of additional factors that may cause our clinical trials to be delayed, prematurely terminated or deemed inadequate to support regulatory approval, such as:

● unforeseen safety issues (including those arising with respect to trials by third parties for compounds in a similar class as our product or product candidate), inadequate efficacy, or an unacceptable risk-benefit profile observed at any point during or after completion of the trials;

● slower than expected rates of patient enrollment, which could be due to any number of factors, including failure of our third-party vendors, including our CROs, to effectively perform their obligations to us, a lack of patients who meet the enrollment criteria or competition from clinical trials in similar product classes or patient populations;

● the risk of failure of our clinical investigational sites and related facilities to maintain compliance with the FDA’s cGMP regulations or similar regulations in countries outside of the U.S., including the risk that these sites fail to pass inspections by the appropriate governmental authority, which could invalidate the data collected at that site or place the entire clinical trial at risk;

● any inability to reach agreement or lengthy discussions with the FDA, equivalent regulatory authorities, or ethical review committees on trial design that we are able to execute;

● changes in laws, regulations, regulatory policy or clinical practices, especially if they occur during ongoing clinical trials or shortly after completion of such trials.

Any deficiency in the design, implementation or oversight of our development programs could cause us to incur significant additional costs, experience significant delays, prevent us from obtaining marketing approval for any product candidate or abandon development of certain product candidates, any of which could harm our business and cause our stock price to decline.

If our stockholders do not approve an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our common stock, and an amendment to our 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares issuable thereunder, our ability to raise additional capital, competitively pursue future partnering and other business opportunities and provide adequate incentives to our employees could be materially adversely effected.

We have depleted almost all remaining authorized shares of our common stock available for issuance under our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Furthermore, we have depleted significantly all of the shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under our 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan. As a result, we are currently unable to offer equity incentives under our 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan to new or existing employees. The unavailability of authorized shares of common stock places us in a competitive disadvantage since our ability to (i) raise additional capital through the sale of our common stock or securities exercisable or convertible into shares of our common stock, (ii) utilize our common stock for potential future partnering opportunities and other legitimate corporate business purposes, and (iii) attract and retain key personnel, is compromised. Our board of directors has approved both an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock and an amendment to our 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan to increase the number of shares of common stock issuable thereunder. We submitted such amendments to our stockholders for approval at our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. If stockholder approval is not received for these amendments, we believe it will compromise our ability to competitively pursue future business and financial endeavors with common stock or securities exercisable or convertible into or exchangable for shares of our common stock as consideration and to provide incentives to our employees, which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial position and results of operations.

Our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures have been ineffective in the past, and may be ineffective again in the future, and failure to improve them at such time could lead to errors in our financial statements that could require a restatement or untimely filings, which could cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, and a decline in our stock price.

Our internal control over financial reporting and our disclosure controls and procedures have been ineffective in the past. We have taken steps to improve our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting, and as of January 31, 2014, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. On February 26, 2014, we entered into an engagement letter to initiate SOX assessment services, including the development of control design documents and control test plans.

However, there is no assurance that our disclosure controls and procedures will remain effective or that there will be no material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting in the future. Additionally, as a result of the historical material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting and the historical ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, current and potential stockholders could lose confidence in our financial reporting, which would harm our business and the trading price of our stock.

There have been no additional material changes in our risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2013.

Petit, Executive Vice President and Chief Scientific Officer and Chris L. French, Vice President, Regulatory & Medical Affairs, of the Company (each, an “Executive”) entered into an amendment (each, an “Amendment” and collectively, the “Amendments”) to their respective employment agreements (each, an “Employment Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Employment Agreements, the Executives had voluntarily agreed to utilize a percentage of their base salary to purchase common stock of the Company based on the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of acquisition. The stock purchases were scheduled to occur on the last business day of each fiscal quarter of the Company in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Company’s 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as such plan is amended from time to time). The allocation between the cash and equity components of each Executive’s base salary is as follows:

Executive % of base salary
in cash
  % of base salary
in Common Stock
 
Daniel J. O’Connor  75.0   25.0 
Gregory T. Mayes, III  92.5   7.5 
Sara Bonstein  92.5   7.5 
Robert G. Petit  91.5   8.5 
Chris L. French  95.0   5.0 

The Amendments provide that such purchases of Common Stock will now occur on the last business day of each calendar month and will be effected through a direct purchase from the Company at a purchase price equal to the consolidated closing bid price of the Common Stock on the purchase date.

Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment entered into by and between the Company and Mr. O’Connor, Mr. O’Connor also agreed to forego the scheduled increases in his base salary that were contained in his Employment Agreement. These increases would have increased his base salary compensation to $350,000 on January 1, 2015 and $375,000 on January 1, 2016. Mr. O’Connor would also have been entitled to an immediate increase in his base salary compensation to $375,000 if certain financing or licensing milestones were achieved. As a result of the Amendment, Mr. O’Connor will only be entitled to receive a cost-of-living increase for 2015 and 2016.

The Amendment entered into by and between the Company and Ms. Bonstein clarified certain terms relating to an inducement grant that the Company had agreed to pay to Ms. Bonstein when she commenced her employment with the Company on February 24, 2014 but which was not paid. The grant will consist of 100,000 restricted shares of Common Stock, 33,333 shares of which will be fully vested and not subject to forfeiture as of the grant date, with the remaining shares vesting and not subject to forfeiture as follows: 33,333 on February 24, 2015 and 33,334 on February 24, 2016. Vesting will be accelerated in the event of Ms. Bonstein’s death or disability, or in the event of a “Change of Control” as defined in the related restricted stock award agreement included as an exhibit to Ms. Bonstein’s Amendment. The restricted stock award agreement also includes other terms and conditions and restrictions regarding the award.
