CEL-SCI CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARY

NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013 and 2012

A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements of CEL-SCI Corporation (the Company) are unaudited and certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all accruals and adjustments (each of which is of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2013 and the results of its operations for the six and three month periods then ended. The condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 is derived from the September 30, 2012 audited financial statements. Significant accounting policies have been consistently applied in the interim financial statements and the annual financial statements. The results of operations for the six and three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Significant accounting policies are as follows:

Research and Office Equipment and Leasehold Improvements - Research and office equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease. Repairs and maintenance which do not extend the life of the asset are expensed when incurred.

Patents - Patent expenditures are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the expected useful life or the legal life of the patent (17 years). In the event changes in technology or other circumstances impair the value or life of the patent, appropriate adjustment in the asset value and period of amortization is made. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset, and from its disposition, is less than the carrying value of the asset. The amount of the impairment loss would be the difference between the estimated fair value of the asset and its carrying value.

Research and Development Costs - Research and development expenditures are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes - The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating and tax loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be recognized. A full valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Derivative Instruments – The Company has entered into financing arrangements that consist of freestanding derivative instruments or are hybrid instruments that contain embedded derivative features. The Company has also issued warrants to various parties in connection with work performed by these parties. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), derivative instruments and hybrid instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognized in earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the nature of the derivative or hybrid instruments. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument. The derivative liabilities are remeasured at fair value at the end of each interim period as long as they are outstanding.

Deferred Rent (Asset) – The deferred rent is discussed at Note G. Consideration paid, including deposits, related to operating leases are recorded as a deferred rent asset and amortized as rent expense over the lease term. Interest on the deferred rent is calculated at 3% on the funds deposited on the manufacturing facility and is included in deferred rent. This interest income will be used to offset future rent.

Stock-Based Compensation – Compensation cost for employee stock-based awards is measured at fair value as of the grant date in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718. The fair value of the stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires various judgmental assumptions including volatility and expected option life. The stock-based compensation cost is recognized on the straight-line attribution method as expense over the requisite service or vesting period.

Equity instruments issued to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees. Accordingly, compensation is recognized when goods or services are received and is measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes model requires CEL-SCI’s management to make assumptions regarding the fair value of the equity instruments at the measurement date and the expected life of the options.

The Company has Incentive Stock Option Plans, Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans, a Stock Compensation Plan and Stock Bonus Plans. In some cases these Plans are collectively referred to as the "Plans". All Plans (except for the 2013 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan) have been approved by the stockholders. A summary chart and description of activity of the Plans for the six months and three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 follows in Note C. For further discussion of the Stock Option Plans, Stock Compensation Plan and Stock Bonus Plans, see the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2012.

B. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

There are no significant new accounting pronouncements that would impact the condensed financial statements.

C. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Below is a chart of the stock options, stock bonuses and compensation granted by the Company as of March 31, 2013. Each option represents the right to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock.

Name of Plan	Total Shares Reserved Under Plans		Shares Reserved for Outstanding Options		Shares Issued as Stock Bonus Compensation		Remaining Options/Shares Under Plans

Incentive Stock Option Plans		21,100,000		13,898,275		N/A		5,135,225
Non-Qualified Stock Option
Plans (1)		57,760,000		34,574,813		N/A		16,870,573

(1)

The 2013 Non-Qualified Plan was adopted by the Company’s directors on December 18, 2012 and authorizes the issuance of up to 20,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to persons that exercise options granted pursuant to the Plan. As of the date of this Form 10-Q, the Company had granted 3,344,166 options under the 2013 Non-Qualified Plan. Any options granted pursuant to the 2013 Plan may not be exercised until shareholders approve the adoption of the Plan.

There were 14,375,664 and 3,120,372 options granted to employees and directors during the six- months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There were 1,000 and -0- options granted to employees and directors during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In December 2012, the Company offered employees and directors holding options that expire on April 1, 2013 the opportunity to forfeit these options and have new options issued with an expiration date of December 17, 2017. All twelve employees and directors eligible for this offer accepted the terms. This resulted in the cancellation of 3,874,664 options priced at $0.22 per share and the concurrent issuance of the same number of options at $0.28 per share. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company recorded the incremental compensation cost of the options. The incremental compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the replacement award over the fair value of the cancelled award at the cancellation date. At the cancellation date, the incremental compensation cost was $477,879.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In November 2011, the Company modified the number of options issued to certain employees and directors, as well as the exercise prices and the expiration dates of the options. This resulted in the cancellation of 3,900,465 options priced between $0.54 and $1.94 per share and the issuance of 3,120,372 options exercisable at $0.30 per share. In accordance with ASC 718, the incremental compensation cost was $409,370. In December 2011, the Company extended the expiration date of certain employee options resulting in an additional option cost of $36,990.

The Company reviews all outstanding warrants in accordance with the requirements of ASC 815. This topic provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. The warrant agreements provide for adjustments to the exercise price for certain dilutive events, which includes an adjustment to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrant in the event that the Company makes certain equity offerings in the future at a price lower than the exercise prices of the warrant instruments. Under the provisions of ASC 815, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s stock because future equity offerings or sales of the Company’s stock are not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option on equity shares, and equity classification is therefore precluded.

In accordance with ASC 815, derivative liabilities must be measured at fair value upon issuance and revalued at the end of each reporting period through their expiration. Any change in fair value between the respective reporting dates is recognized as a gain or loss.

Series K and Series A through E Warrants

The Company accounted for the Series K and A through E warrants as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. In accordance with ASC 815, derivative liabilities must be revalued at the end of each interim period and at the end of the fiscal year, as long as they remain outstanding. These warrants do not qualify for equity accounting and must be accounted for as a derivative liability since the Warrant Agreement provides the holder with the right, at its option, to require the Company to a cash settlement of the warrants at Black-Scholes value in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the Warrant Agreement. Since the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction is not entirely within the Company's control, there exist circumstances that would require net-cash settlement of the warrants while holders of shares would not receive a cash settlement.

D. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Company determines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company generally applies the income approach to determine fair value. This method uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations with respect to those future amounts.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

●	Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

●

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and amounts derived from valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets

●	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s assumptions

For disclosure purposes, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety in the fair value hierarchy level based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The table below sets forth the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, in the condensed balance sheet at March 31, 2013:

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets or Liabilities (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total

Derivative instruments	$	-	$	-	$	4,899,228	$	4,899,228

The table below sets forth the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, in the condensed balance sheet at September 30, 2012:

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets or Liabilities (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total

Derivative instruments	$	-	$	-	$	6,983,690	$	6,983,690

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The following sets forth the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances related to fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and the year ended September 30, 2012:

	March 31, 2013			September 30, 2012

Beginning balance	$	6,983,690		$	7,261,073
Issuances		4,200,000			6,706,667
Settlements		-			(5,072,367	)
Realized and unrealized gains
recorded in earnings		(6,284,462	)		(1,911,683	)
Ending balance	$	4,899,228		$	6,983,690

The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments disclosed above are primarily derived from valuation models where significant inputs such as historical price and volatility of the Company’s stock as well as U.S. Treasury Bill rates are observable in active markets.

E. LOANS FROM OFFICER

The Company’s President, and a director, Maximilian de Clara, loaned the Company $1,104,057. The loan from Mr. de Clara bears interest at 15% per year and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Company does not have the right to prepay the loan without Mr. de Clara’s consent. The loan was initially payable at the end of March 2009, but was extended. At the time the loan was originally due, and in accordance with the loan agreement, the Company issued Mr. de Clara warrants to purchase 1,648,244 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.40 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time prior to December 24, 2014. In June 2009, the loan with Mr. de Clara was extended for the second time to July 6, 2014, but, at Mr. de Clara’s option, the loan may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares which will be issued upon any conversion will be determined by dividing the amount to be converted by $0.40. As further consideration for the second extension, Mr. de Clara received warrants to purchase 1,849,295 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.50 per share at any time prior to January 6, 2015. On May 13, 2011, to recognize Mr. de Clara’s willingness to agree to subordinate his note to the convertible preferred shares and convertible debt as part of the settlement agreement, the Company extended the maturity date of the note to July 6, 2015.

During the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid $82,804 in interest expense to Mr. de Clara. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid $41,402 in interest expense to Mr. de Clara.

F. OPERATIONS, FINANCING

The Company has incurred significant costs since its inception in connection with the acquisition of certain patented and unpatented proprietary technology and know-how relating to the human immunological defense system, patent applications, research and development, administrative costs, construction of laboratory facilities, and clinical trials. The Company has funded such costs with proceeds from the public and private sale of its common and preferred stock. The Company will be required to raise additional capital or find additional long-term financing in order to continue with its research efforts. To date, the Company has not generated any revenue from product sales. The ability of the Company to complete the necessary clinical trials and obtain Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the sale of products to be developed on a commercial basis is uncertain. Ultimately, the Company must complete the development of its products, obtain the appropriate regulatory approvals and obtain sufficient revenues to support its cost structure.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Company is currently running a large multi-national Phase III clinical trial for head and neck cancer with its partners TEVA Pharmaceuticals and Orient Europharma. The Company believes that it has enough capital to support its operations until year end and believes that it has ready access to new equity capital should the need arise. To finance the study beyond the next 12 months, the Company plans to raise additional capital in the form of corporate partnerships, debt and/or equity financings. The Company believes that it will be able to obtain additional financing since Multikine is a Phase III product designed to treat cancer and because it has done so consistently in the past. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional funds or that funds will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company does not raise the necessary amounts of money, the Company will either have to slow down or delay the Phase III clinical trial or even significantly curtail its operations until such time as it is able to raise the required funding. The Company’s expenditures for fiscal year 2012 included several non-recurring items that amounted to approximately $5 million dollars, which were the settlement payments related to a lawsuit, that will not recur in fiscal year 2013, thereby reducing the Company’s expenditures. On December 4, 2012, the Company raised $10.5 million from several institutional investors. The Company paid Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, the placement agent for this offering, a cash commission of $682,500.

On April 23, 2013, the Company announced that it has replaced the clinical research organization (CRO) running its Phase III clinical trial. Under a co-development agreement, Ergomed, one of the new CROs, will contribute up to $10 million towards the study where it will perform clinical services in exchange for a single digit percentage of milestone and royalty payments, up to a specified maximum amount, only from sales of Multikine for head and neck cancer.

The Company estimates the total cash cost of the Phase III trial, with the exception of the parts that will be paid by its licensees, Teva Pharmaceuticals and Orient Europharma, to be approximately $37 million going forward. This is in addition to approximately $7.9 million which has been paid as of March 31, 2013. The estimate is based on the information currently available in the Company’s contracts with the Clinical Research Organization responsible for managing the Phase III trial. This number can be affected by the speed of enrollment, foreign currency exchange rates and many other factors, some of which cannot be foreseen today. It is therefore possible that the cost of the Phase III trial will be higher than currently estimated.

G. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Lease Agreement - In August 2007, the Company leased a building near Baltimore, Maryland. The building, which consists of approximately 73,000 square feet, was remodeled in accordance with the Company’s specifications so that it can be used by the Company to manufacture Multikine for the Company’s Phase III clinical trial and sales of the drug if approved by the FDA. The lease is for a term of twenty years and requires an annual base rent to escalate each year at 3%. The Company is required to pay all real and personal property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance expenses, repair costs and utilities. The lease allows the Company, at its election, to extend the lease for two ten-year periods or to purchase the building at the end of the 20-year lease.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The amortization of the deferred rent for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $328,035 and $353,726, respectively. The amortization of the deferred rent for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $161,866 and $174,775, respectively.

The Company was required to deposit the equivalent of one year of base rent in accordance with the contract. When the Company meets the minimum cash balance required by the lease, the deposit will be returned to the Company. The $1,670,917 deposit is included in non-current assets at March 31, 2013.

On December 7, 2011, the Company entered into a sublease for a period of four months commencing on December 10, 2011. The Company receives $5,000 per month in rent for the subleased space. The lease is now a month to month term lease with a 30 day notice requirement for termination.

The Company leases its research and development laboratory under a 60 month lease which expires February 28, 2017. The operating lease includes escalating rental payments. The Company is recognizing the related rent expense on a straight line basis over the full 60 month term of the lease at the rate of $11,360 per month. As of March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the Company has recorded a deferred rent liability of $2,794 and $1,033, respectively.

The Company leases office headquarters under a 36 month lease which expires June 30, 2015. The operating lease includes escalating rental payments. The Company is recognizing the related rent expense on a straight line basis over the full 36 month term of the lease at the rate $7,864 per month. As of March 31, 2013 and September 30, 2012, the Company has recorded a deferred rent liability of $14,382 and $15,479, respectively.

During the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company leased office equipment under a capital lease arrangement. The term of the capital lease is 48 months and expires on September 30, 2016. The monthly lease payment is $1,025. The lease bears interest at approximately 16% per annum.

In May 2003, CEL-SCI entered into a licensing agreement with Eastern Biotech. The agreement provides for future royalty payments up to 2% of the net sales of Multikine worldwide until May 20, 2033. In March 2013, the Company’s President Maximilian de Clara notified CEL-SCI that Eastern Biotech had offered to sell him the royalty rights for $500,000. Mr. de Clara, in turn, offered this opportunity to the Company before accepting it himself. On March 11, 2013 the Board of Directors, without Mr. de Clara present, decided not to pursue this opportunity, and shortly thereafter, Mr. de Clara purchased the royalty rights.

H. PATENTS

During the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded patent impairment charges of $10,651 and $21,334, respectively. For the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, amortization of patent costs totaled $49,441 and $56,571, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded patent impairment charges of $428 and $13,379, respectively.

J. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were filed and determined there are no subsequent events that require disclosure.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s lead investigational therapy, Multikine® (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection), is cleared for a Phase III clinical trial in advanced primary head and neck cancer. It has received a go-ahead by the US FDA as well as the Canadian, Polish, Hungarian, Russian, Israeli, Indian and Taiwanese regulators.

Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) is the full name of this investigational therapy, which, for simplicity, is referred to in the remainder of this report as Multikine. Multikine is the trademark that the Company has registered for this investigational therapy, and this proprietary name is subject to FDA review in connection with the Company’s future anticipated regulatory submission for approval. Multikine has not been licensed or approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency. Neither has its safety or efficacy been established for any use.

The Company also owns and is developing a pre-clinical technology called LEAPS (Ligand Epitope Antigen Presentation System).

All of the Company’s projects are under development. As a result, the Company cannot predict when it will be able to generate any revenue from the sale of any of its products.

Since inception, the Company has financed its operations through the sale of equity securities, convertible notes, loans and certain research grants. The Company’s expenses will likely exceed its revenues as it continues the development of Multikine and brings other drug candidates into clinical trials. Until such time as the Company becomes profitable, any or all of these financing vehicles or others may be utilized to assist the Company’s capital requirements.

Capital raised by the Company has been expended primarily to acquire an exclusive worldwide license to use, and later purchase, certain patented and unpatented proprietary technology and know-how relating to the human immunological defense system. Capital has also been used for patent applications, debt repayment, research and development, administrative costs, and the construction of the Company’s laboratory facilities. The Company does not anticipate realizing significant revenues until it enters into licensing arrangements regarding its technology and know-how or until it receives regulatory approval to sell its products (which could take a number of years). As a result the Company has been dependent upon the proceeds from the sale of its securities to meet all of its liquidity and capital requirements and anticipates having to do so in the future.

The Company will be required to raise additional capital or find additional long-term financing in order to continue with its research efforts. The ability of the Company to complete the necessary clinical trials and obtain Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the sale of products to be developed on a commercial basis is uncertain. Ultimately, CEL-SCI must complete the development of its products, obtain the appropriate regulatory approvals and obtain sufficient revenues to support its cost structure. The Company believes that, counting its cash on hand and access to the capital markets established over the years, it will have enough capital to support its operations through year end. On March 1, 2012, the Company paid the remaining balance due on its convertible note agreement, thereby releasing the Company from all obligations under the Settlement Agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

It should be noted that this estimate is only an estimate based on the information currently available in the Company’s contracts with the Clinical Research Organizations responsible for managing the Phase III trial. This number can be affected by the speed of enrollment, foreign currency exchange rates and many other factors, some of which cannot be foreseen today. It is therefore possible that the cost of the Phase III trial will be higher than currently estimated.

On April 23, 2013, the Company announced that it has replaced the clinical research organizations (CRO) running its Phase III clinical trial. This was necessary since the patient enrollment in the study dropped off substantially following a takeover of the CRO which caused most of the members of the CRO’s study team to leave the CRO. The Company announced that it has hired two CRO’s who will manage the global Phase III study; Aptiv Solutions and Ergomed who are both international leaders in managing oncology trials. Both CRO’s will help the Company expand the trial by 60-80 clinical sites globally. As of early April 2013, the study has enrolled 117 patients conducted at 39 sites in 8 countries, including three centers in Israel where CEL-SCI’s partner Teva Pharmaceuticals has the marketing rights, and nine centers in Taiwan where the Company’s partner Orient Europhama has the marketing rights.

Under a co-development agreement, Ergomed will contribute up to $10 million towards the study where it will perform clinical services in exchange for a single digit percentage of milestone and royalty payments, up to a specified maximum amount, only from sales of Multikine for head and neck cancer. Ergomed, a privately-held firm headquartered in Europe with global operations, has entered into five similar co-development agreements, including one with Genzyme (purchased by Sanofi in 2011 for over $20 billion). Ergomed will be responsible for the majority of the new patient enrollment since it has a novel model for clinical site management to accelerate patient recruitment and retention. For example, Ergomed has approximately 25 physicians who can directly call on clinical sites to aid recruitment and retention. Some of the Ergomed physicians also have the experience of being clinical investigators themselves. CEL-SCI believes that this interaction on a physician to physician level is what is needed to help physicians increase enrollment in the Multikine study.

During the six months ended March 31, 2013, the Company’s cash increased by approximately $3,045,000 from September 30, 2012. Significant components of this increase include net proceeds from the sale of the Company’s stock of approximately $9,807,000 offset by net cash used to fund the Company’s regular operations, including its on-going Phase III clinical trial, of approximately $6,673,000. This compares to approximately $5,792,000 used in operations during the six months ended March 31, 2012. Cash used by investing activities was approximately $87,000 and $81,000, for the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The use of cash in investing activities consisted primarily of purchases of equipment and legal costs incurred in patent applications. For the six months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, net cash provided by financing activities totaled approximately $9,805,000 and $6,881,000, respectively. The increase in cash provided by financing activities is due to proceeds of the December 2012 financing, which were approximately $10,500,000, less expenses of approximately $693,000. This compares to prior year financing activities which consisted of proceeds from the sale of Company stock and the exercise of warrants totaling approximately $11,831,000 offset by payments on convertible debt of $4,950,000.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In August 2011, the Company paid a deposit of $1,670,917 to the landlord since the Company’s cash balances did not meet the minimum amount required by the lease. When the Company meets the minimum cash balance required by the lease, the deposit will be returned to the Company.

In October 2011, the Company sold 13,333,334 shares of its common stock to private investors for $4,000,000, or $0.30 per share. The investors also received 12,000,000 Series F warrants. Each Series F warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.40 per share at any time prior to October 6, 2014. The Company paid the placement agent for this offering a commission consisting of $140,000 in cash and 666,667 Series G warrants. Each Series G warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $0.40 per share at any time prior to August 12, 2014.

In January 2012, the Company sold 16,000,000 shares of its common stock to one private investor for $5,760,000 or $0.36 per share. The investor also received Series H warrants which entitled the investor to purchase up to 12,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series H warrants may be exercised at any time after July 31, 2012 and prior to August 1, 2015 at a price of $0.50 per share. The Company paid the placement agent for this offering a cash commission of $403,200.

On December 4, 2012, the Company sold 35,000,000 shares of its common stock for $10,500,000, or $0.30 per share, in a registered direct offering. The investors in this offering also received Series R warrants which entitle the investors to purchase up to 26,250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The Series R warrants may be exercised at any time on or after June 7, 2013 and on or before December 7, 2016 at a price of $0.40 per share. The Company paid Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, the placement agent for this offering, a cash commission of $682,500.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

During the six months and three months ended March 31, 2013, grant and other income decreased by approximately $81,000 and $91,000, respectively, compared to the six and three months ended March 31, 2012.

During the six months ended March 31, 2013, research and development expenses increased by approximately $389,000 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2012. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, research and development expenses decreased by approximately $79,000 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. The Company is continuing the Phase III clinical trial and research and development fluctuates based on the activity level of the clinical trial.

During the six and three months ended March 31, 2013, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $166,000 and $18,000, respectively, compared to the six and three months ended March 31, 2012. This increase is primarily due to increased public relation costs.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

For the six and three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded a derivative gain of approximately $6,284,000 and $3,538,000 respectively. For the six and three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded a derivative loss of approximately $3,248,000 and $4,204,000 respectively. This variation was the result of the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities during the period which was caused by fluctuations in the share price of the Company’s common stock.

Interest expense was approximately $85,000 and $43,000 for the six and three months ended March 31, 2013 and consisted primarily of interest expense on the loan from the Company’s president. Interest expense was approximately $179,000 and $56,000 for the six and three months ended March 31, 2012 and consisted of interest expense on the loan from the Company’s president of approximately $41,000 per quarter and interest on the convertible notes outstanding during the period of approximately $96,000.

Research and Development Expenses

During the six and three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s research and development efforts involved Multikine and LEAPS. The table below shows the research and development expenses associated with each project.

Clinical and other studies necessary to obtain regulatory approval of a new drug involve significant costs and require several years to complete. The extent of the Company’s clinical trials and research programs are primarily based upon the amount of capital available to the Company and the extent to which the Company has received regulatory approvals for clinical trials. The inability of the Company to conduct clinical trials or research, whether due to a lack of capital or regulatory approval, will prevent the Company from completing the studies and research required to obtain regulatory approval for any products which the Company is developing. Without regulatory approval, the Company will be unable to sell any of its products. Since all of the Company’s projects are under development, the Company cannot predict when it will be able to generate any revenue from the sale of any of its products.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based on its unaudited condensed financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements is based on the selection of accounting policies and the application of significant accounting estimates, some of which require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes. The Company believes some of the more critical estimates and policies that affect its financial condition and results of operations are in the areas of operating leases and stock-based compensation. For more information regarding the Company’s critical accounting estimates and policies, see Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s 2012 10-K report. The application of these critical accounting policies and estimates has been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.
