1.     Description of Company and Basis of Presentation

 

GeoVax Labs, Inc. (“GeoVax” or the “Company”), is a biotechnology company whose planned principal operations are the design, testing, manufacturing and sale (either directly or through licensees) of vaccines to treat human diseases. Our current focus is on developing vaccines that prevent and fight Human Immunodeficiency Virus (“HIV”) infections.infections, and we are conducting research and development activities to commercialize certain patented technology licensed to us. HIV infections result in Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (“AIDS”). We have 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”). GeoVax is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and our principal offices are located in Smyrna, Georgia (metropolitan Atlanta area).

 

Our most advanced vaccines under development address the clade B subtype of the HIV virus that is most prevalent in the United States and western Europe. Our vaccines are being evaluated to determine their potential to (a) prevent HIV infection and (b) to serve as a therapyan immunotherapy for individuals who are already infected with HIV. These vaccines are currently being evaluated in humans -- both in those infected with HIV and those who are not. Our goal is to build a profitable company by generating income from products we develop and commercialize, either alone or with one or more potential strategic partners.

 

Our activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. We are devoting substantially allhave neither received regulatory approval for any of our present efforts to research andvaccine candidates, nor do we have any commercialization capabilities; therefore, it is possible that we may never successfully derive significant product revenues from any of our existing or future development and GeoVax is a development stage enterprise as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 915,Development Stage Entities. programs or product candidates.

We have funded our activities to date from government grants and clinical trial assistance, and from sales of our equity securities. We will continue to require substantial funds to continue these activities. We believe that our existing cash resources, combined with the proceeds from the NIH grants discussed in Note 8, will be sufficient to fund our planned operations into the first quarter of 2015. We expect we will need to raiserequire additional funds to continue our planned operations beyond that date, and we are currently exploringseeking sources of non-dilutive capital through government grant programs and clinical trial support. We also intend to conduct additional offerings of our equity securities or convertible debt instruments.securities. However, additional funding may not be available on favorable terms or at all. If we fail to obtain additional capital when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs as well as reduce our general and administrative expenses.

 

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at March 31,June 30, 2014 and for the three month and six month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2014 and 2013 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, 2013. We expect our operating results to fluctuate for the foreseeable future; therefore, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as predictive of the results in future periods.

 

We disclosed in Note 2 to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 those accounting policies that we consider significant in determining our results of operations and financial position. There have been no material changes to, or in the application of, the accounting policies previously identified and described in the Form 10-K.

 

2.     Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09,Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”), which creates a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606. The standard is principle-based and provides a five-step model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that an entity should recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for the Company beginning in 2017 and allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of Topic 606 on its financial statements.


In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-10,Development Stage Entities (Topic 915)("ASU 2014-10").The amendments in ASU 2014-10 remove the definition of a development stage entity from Topic 915, thereby removing the distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from U.S. GAAP. In addition, the amendments eliminate the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information on the statements of income, cash flows, and shareholder’s equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. For public business entities, those amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. We have evaluated this accounting standard and determined it to have a material impact on our financial statements. We adopted ASU-2014-10 effective June 30, 2014 and the effects of the adoption are reflected in our financial statements and footnotes contained herein.

There have been no other recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, as compared to the recent accounting pronouncements described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, which we expect to have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

3.     Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

 

Basic net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares and potentially dilutive common share equivalents outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common share equivalents consist of convertible preferred stock, stock options and stock purchase warrants. 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 13.012.8 million and 11.610.4 million shares at March 31,June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

7.     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.

 


8.     Government Grants

 

In September 2007, the NIH awarded us an Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development (IPCAVD) grant to support our HIV/AIDS vaccine program. We are utilizing this funding to further our HIV/AIDS vaccine development, optimization and production. The aggregate award (including subsequent amendments) totaled approximately $20.4 million and, as of March 31,June 30, 2014, there is $596,801$484,499 of unrecognized grant funds remaining and available for use through the end of the grant period (August 31, 2014).

 

In July 2013, the NIH awarded us a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant entitled “Enhancing Protective Antibody Responses for a GM-CSF Adjuvanted HIV Vaccine.” The initial grant award of approximately $277,000 is for the first year of a two year project period beginning August 1, 2013 and has been fully utilized as of March 31,June 30, 2014. In July 2014, there is $68,139the NIH awarded us a grant of unrecognized grant funds remaining and availableapproximately $290,000 for use through the endsecond year of the grant period (July 31, 2014).project period.

 

We record revenue associated with these grants 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 monthsmonth and six month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2014, and 2013, we recorded $157,340,$180,441 and $797,040, respectively,$337,781 of revenue associated with these grants.grants, as compared to $441,561 and $1,238,601 for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, respectively

 

9.     Related Party Transactions

 

We are obligated to reimburse Emory University (a significant stockholder of the Company) for certain prior and ongoing costs in connection with the filing, prosecution and maintenance of patent applications subject to our technology license agreement from Emory. During the threesix month period ended March 31,June 30, 2014, we recorded $43,919$115,393 of general and administrative expense associated with these patent cost reimbursements to Emory.

 

10.     Subsequent Events

In July 2014, we issued 250,000 shares of our common stock for certain consulting services from a third party and recorded stock-based compensation expense of $50,000 related to the issuance.

As discussed in Note 8, in July 2014, the NIH awarded us a $290,000 SBIR grant entitled “Enhancing Protective Antibody Responses for a GM-CSF Adjuvanted HIV Vaccine.” This grant award is for the second year of a two year project period beginning August 1, 2013.

In August 2014, we issued 50,000 shares of our common stock related to conversions of our Series B Convertible Preferred Stock.

Overview

 

GeoVax is a biotechnology company whose planned principal operations are the design, testing, manufacturing, and sale (either directly or through licensees) of vaccines to treat human diseases. Our current focus is on developing vaccines that prevent and control HIV.HIV, and we are conducting research and development activities to commercialize certain patented technology licensed to us. Our vaccine technology was developed in collaboration with researchers at Emory University, the NIH, and the CDC. The technology developed by the collaboration is exclusively licensed to us from Emory University. We also have nonexclusive licenses to certain patents owned by the NIH.

 

Our current vaccines under development address the clade B subtype of the HIV virus that is most prevalent in the United States and much of the developed world. Our vaccines are being evaluated to determine their potential to (a) prevent HIV infection and (b) to serve as a treatmentan immunotherapy for individuals who are already infected with HIV. These vaccines are currently being evaluated in human clinical trials -- both in those infected with HIV and those who are not.

 

Our activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including our ability to secure the funding necessary to complete our research and development efforts. We have neither received regulatory approval for any of our vaccine candidates, nor do we have any commercialization capabilities; therefore, it is possible that we may never successfully derive significant product revenues from any of our existing or future development programs or product candidates.

 

We expect for the foreseeable future our operations will result in a net loss on a quarterly and annual basis. As of March 31,June 30, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of approximately $27.7$28.3 million.

 

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the accompanying unaudited condensed 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.

 

Our significant accounting policies are summarized in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements:

 

 

 

Revenue Recognition

 

We recognize revenue in accordance with the SEC’s Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101,Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as amended by Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104,Revenue Recognition (SAB 104). SAB 104 provides guidance in applying U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition issues, and specifically addresses revenue recognition for upfront, non-refundable fees received in connection with research collaboration agreements. Our revenue consists solely of grant funding 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

 

We account for stock-based transactions in which the Company receives services from employees, directors or others in exchange for equity instruments based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. Compensation cost for awards of common stock is estimated based on the price of the underlying common stock on the date of issuance. Compensation cost for stock options or warrants is estimated at the grant date based on each instrument’s fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We recognize stock-based compensation cost as expense ratably on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the award.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At March 31,June 30, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,010,326$1,371,802 and total assets of $2,172,959,$1,520,620, as compared to $2,513,861 and $2,839,576, respectively, at December 31, 2013. Working capital totaled $1,812,751$1,163,469 at March 31,June 30, 2014, compared to $2,385,990 at December 31, 2013.

 

Sources and Uses of Cash

 

We are a development-stage company as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), Accounting Standards Codification (ASC), Topic 915,Development Stage Entities,have funded our activities to date primarily from government grants and do not have any products approved for sale. Due to our significant researchclinical trial assistance, 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 securitiessecurities. We will continue to require substantial funds to continue these activities. We believe that our existing cash resources, combined with the proceeds from the NIH grants discussed below will be sufficient to fund our planned operations into the first quarter of 2015. We will require additional funds to continue our planned operations beyond that date, and fromwe are currently seeking sources of non-dilutive capital through government grant fundingprograms and clinical trial assistance.support. We also intend to conduct additional offerings of our equity securities. However, additional funding may not be available on favorable terms or at all. If we fail to obtain additional capital when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs as well as reduce our general and administrative expenses.

 

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

 

Net cash used in operating activities was $503,535$1,130,895 for the threesix month period ended March 31,June 30, 2014 as compared to $344,489$797,866 for the comparable period in 2013. Generally, the differences between periods are due to fluctuations in our net losses, offset by non-cash charges such as depreciation and stock-based compensation expense, and by net changes in our assets and liabilities. Our net losses generally fluctuate based on expenditures for our research activities, offset by government grant revenues.

 

The NIH has funded the costs of conducting all of our human clinical trials (Phase 1 and Phase 2a) to date for our preventive vaccines, with GeoVax incurring costs associated with manufacturing the clinical vaccine supplies and other study support. We are currently in planning discussions with the HVTNHIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN) and NIH for the next stage of our preventive clinical trials, and several scenarios are being considered.expected to be a Phase 2b efficacy trial. We expect the next clinical trial to begin duringin late 2015 or early 2016 and to be fully funded by the NIH, with specific details of the study determined after further data analysis and input fromconsideration by the HVTN and NIHNIH. At this point in mid-2014. Until the next trial begins,time, however, we cannot be fully assured of the level of support, if any, we will receive from the HVTN or the NIH for this clinical trial. In order to conduct the next clinical trial, we will need to manufacture additional quantities of our DNA vaccine, which we expect will cost approximately $3 million. We currently do not have sufficient cash resources to commit to this production, thus we are also seeking financial support from the NIH for this effort.

 

We recently completed a Phase 1 clinical trial (GV-TH-01) investigating the therapeutic use of our GOVX-B11 vaccine in HIV-infected patients. GV-TH-01 is an open label Phase 1 treatment interruption trial investigating the safety and immunogenicity of GOVX-B11 in 9 HIV-infected patients who initiated drug treatment within 18 months of seroconversion and had stably controlled virus for at least 6 months. An exploratory objective of the study is to evaluate the ability of the vaccinated patient to control re-emergent virus during the drug treatment interruption period. We received no federal assistance in conducting this study. In a follow-on study, we are formulating plans for an additionalplanning to advance our HIV immunotherapy program through conducting a Phase 11/2 clinical trial investigating the treatment of HIV-positive individuals with the adjuvanted version of our DNA vaccine (GOVX-B21) in combination with standard-of-care antiretroviral drug therapy.therapy (“ART”). The primary and secondary objectivesobjective of thethis study will be to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of our vaccine. An exploratory objective will bevaccine in the presence of ART, but we also intend to investigateexplore the vaccine’s effect on reducing viral reservoirs.reactivating latent HIV infections for the purpose of destroying the activated cells. Initiation of this trial, which we expect will cost between $2-3 million, will be dependent upon our ability to secure the required funding. We plan to seek funding from the NIHU.S. government sources to conduct this trial, but we will also consider obtaining funds from issuance of our equity securities or other sources.


 

In addition to clinical trial support from the NIH, our operations are partially funded by NIH research grants. We record the funding we receive pursuant to these grants as revenue at the time the related expenditures are incurred. In September 2007, the NIH awarded us an Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development (IPCAVD)IPCAVD grant to support our HIV/AIDS vaccine program. We are utilizing this funding to further our HIV/AIDS vaccine development, optimization and production. The aggregate award (including subsequent amendments) totaled approximately $20.4 million, and there is $596,801approximately $484,500 remaining and available for use as of March 31,June 30, 2014. In July 2013, the NIH awarded us a Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) grant to support preclinical studies evaluating the ability of protein boosts to augment antibody responses. The grant award of approximately $277,000 is for the first year of a two year project period beginning August 1, 2013, and there is $68,139 remaining and available for usehas been fully utilized as of March 31,June 30, 2014. In July 2014, the NIH awarded us a grant of approximately $290,000 for the second year of the project period.

 

We intend to pursue additional grants from the federal government but cannot be assured of success. 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. Therefore, it will be necessary for us to look to other sources of funding in order to finance our clinical trials and other vaccine development activities.

 


Cash Flows from Investing Activities

 

Our investing activities have consisted predominantly of capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, our capital expenditures were $11,164. There were no capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2014 or for the comparable period in 2013.

 

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities was $-0- for the threesix month period ended March 31,June 30, 2014, as compared to $1,060,000$1,643,334 for the comparable period in 2013. The cash generated by our financing activities during the threesix month period ended March 31,June 30, 2013 relates to the exercise of certain stock purchase warrants.

 

Our capital requirements, particularly as they relate to our research and development activities, have been and will continue to be significant. We anticipate incurring additional losses for several years as we expand our 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 will not generate revenues from the sale of our technology or products for at least several years, if at all. For the foreseeable future, we will be dependent on obtaining financing from third parties in order to maintain our operations, including our clinical program. Such capital may not be available on terms acceptable to the Company or at all. If we fail to obtain additional funding when needed, we would be forced to scale back or terminate our operations, or to seek to merge with or to be acquired by another company.

 

We expect that our current working capital combined with the remaining available funds from the NIH grants will be sufficient to support our planned level of operations into the first quarter of 2015. We anticipate raising additional capital during 2014, although there can be no assurance that we will be able to do so. While we believe that we will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund our operations through government grants and clinical trial support, exercise of stock purchase warrants, and/or other sources, there can be no assurances that such additional funding will be available to us on reasonable terms or at all. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences could have 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

 

As of March 31,June 30, 2014, we had noncancellable lease obligations and other firm purchase obligations totallingtotaling approximately $151,500,$90,000, as compared to approximately $206,000 at December 31, 2013. 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. There have been no other material changes to the table presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

Results of Operations

 

Net Loss

 

We recorded a net loss of $615,918$679,537 for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2014, as compared to $696,797a net loss of $526,284 for the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2013. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recorded a net loss of $1,295,455, as compared to a net loss of $1,223,081 for the six months ended June 30, 2013. 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 monthsand six month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2014, we recorded grant revenue of $157,340,$180,441 and $337,781 , respectively, as compared to $797,040$441,561 and $1,238,601, respectively, during the comparable periodperiods of 2013. Grant revenues relate to grants from the NIH in support of our HIV vaccine development activities (see discussion under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above). We record revenue associated with these grants as the related costs and expenses are incurred. The difference in our grant revenues from period to period is directly related to our expenditures for activities supported by the grants, and can fluctuate significantly based on the timing of the related expenditures. There is an aggregate of approximately $665,000$484,500 in approved grant funds remaining and available for use as of March 31,June 30, 2014, which we anticipate recognizing as revenue during the remainder of 2014. Additionally, in July 2014, the NIH awarded us an SBIR grant of approximately $290,000 which we anticipate recognizing as revenue during the project period from August 1, 2014 to July 31, 2015.


 

Research and Development

 

During the three monthsmonth and six month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2014, we recorded $402,860$516,202 and $919,062, respectively, of research and development expense as compared to $881,988$553,199 and $1,435,187, respectively, during the three monthsmonth and six month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2013. Research and development expense for thesethe three month and six month periods of 2014 includes stock-based compensation expense of $9,138$7,878 and $12,063 for$17,016, respectively, while the 2014comparable periods of 2013 include stock-based compensation expense of $11,678 and 2013 periods,$23,741, respectively (see discussion under “Stock-Based Compensation Expense” below).

 

Our research and development expenses can fluctuate considerably on a period-to-period basis. The overall decrease in research and development expense during the three monthsand six month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2014, as compared to the comparable 2013 period,periods, can mostly be attributed to lower expenditures related to our grants from the NIH, and lower expenditures associated with the conduct of a Phase 1 trial of our therapeutic HIV vaccine, which was completed during the first quarter of 2014.We have not received any government support for clinical trials of our therapeutic vaccine. Our research and development costs do not include costs incurred by the HVTN in conducting clinical trials of our preventive HIV vaccines; those costs are funded directly by the NIH.

 

We cannot predict the level of support we may receive from HVTN or other federal agencies (or divisions thereof) for our future clinical trials. We expect that our research and development costs will increase in the future as we progress into the later stage human clinical trials.

 

Our vaccine candidates still require significant, time-consuming and costly research and development, testing and regulatory clearances. Completion of clinical development will take several years or more, but the length of time generally varies substantially according to the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of a product candidate. The NIH has funded the costs of conducting all of our completed and ongoing human clinical trials to date for our preventive HIV vaccine, with GeoVax incurring costs associated with manufacturing the clinical vaccine supplies and other study support. We are having discussions with the HVTN and NIH with regard to the conduct of an additional trial of our preventive vaccine, and we expect the NIH will provide support for this trial as well. We intend to seek government and/or third party support for future clinical human trials, but there can be no assurance that we will be successful.

 

The duration and the cost of future clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of the project as a result of differences arising during development of the human clinical trial protocols, including, among others:

 

the number of patients that ultimately participate in the clinical trial;

 

the duration of patient follow-up that seems appropriate in view of the results;

 

the number of clinical sites included in the clinical trials; and

 

the length of time required to enroll suitable patient subjects.

 

Due to the uncertainty regarding the timing and regulatory approval of clinical trials and pre-clinical studies, our future expenditures are likely to be highly volatile in future periods depending on the outcomes of the trials and studies. From time to time, we will make determinations as to how much funding to direct to these programs in response to their scientific, clinical and regulatory success, anticipated market opportunity and the availability of capital to fund our programs.

 

In developing our product candidates, we are subject to a number of risks that are inherent in the development of products based on innovative technologies. For example, it is possible that our vaccines may be ineffective or toxic, or will otherwise fail to receive the necessary regulatory clearances, causing us to delay, extend or terminate our product development efforts. Any failure by us to obtain, or any delay in obtaining, regulatory approvals could cause our research and development expenditures to increase which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and cash flows. Because of the uncertainties of clinical trials, estimating the completion dates or cost to complete our research and development programs is highly speculative and subjective. As a result of these factors, we are unable to accurately estimate the nature, timing and future costs necessary to complete the development of our product candidates. In addition, we are unable to reasonably estimate the period when material net cash inflows could commence from the sale, licensing or commercialization of such product candidates, if ever.

 


General and Administrative Expense

 

OurDuring the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, we incurred general and administrative expenses were $371,802 during the three months ended March 31, 2014,costs of $344,862 and $716,664, respectively, as compared to $612,943$415,784 and $1,028,727, respectively, during the three months ended March 31,comparable periods in 2013. 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 includesfor the three month and six month periods of 2014 include stock-based compensation expense of $17,169 and $253,762 for$34,338, respectively; while the three months ended March 31, 2014comparable periods of 2013 include stock-based compensation expense of $43,917 and 2013,$297,679, respectively (see discussion under “Stock-Based Compensation Expense” below). Excluding stock-based compensation expense, general and administrative expenses were $354,633 during the three monthsmonth and six month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2014 were $327,693 and $682,326, respectively, as compared to $371,867 and $731,048, respectively, during the comparable periods in 2013. The overall decrease in general and administrative expense during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, as compared to $359,181 during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Wecomparable 2013 periods, can mostly be attributed to reduced personnel costs. However,we expect that our general and administrative costs may increase in the future in support of expanded research and development activities and other general corporate activities.

 


Stock-Based Compensation Expense

 

We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $26,307$25,047 and $265,825$51,354 during the three monthsmonth and six month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2014, respectively, as compared to $55,595 and 2013,$321,420, respectively, which was allocatedduring the comparable periods of 2013. We allocate stock-based compensation expense 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 whom the stock compensation was granted. In addition to amounts related to the issuance of stock options to employees and directors, the figures include amounts related to common stock and stock purchase warrants issued to consultants and others. The overall decrease in stock-based compensation expense during the 2014 period,periods, as compared to 2013, can be attributed primarily to $218,551an aggregate of $238,168 of expense recorded in the 2013 periodperiods associated with the repricing and extension of certain stock purchase warrants held by investors from a prior financing round in exchange for exercise of a portion of those warrants by the investors. For the three monthsmonth and six month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2014 and 2013, stock-based compensation expense was allocated as follows:

Interest income for the three monthsmonth and six month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2014 was $1,086 and 2013 was $1,404$2,490, respectively, as compared to $1,138 and $1.094, respectively.$2,232, respectively, for comparable periods of 2013. The variances between periods are primarily attributable to cash available for investment and interest rate fluctuations.


 

Item 3     Quantitative 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 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.
