NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information pursuant to Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2011. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
2. Recapitalization and Merger
Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., formerly known as "Provectus Pharmaceutical, Inc." and "SPM Group, Inc.," was incorporated under Colorado law on May 1, 1978. SPM Group ceased operations in 1991, and became a development-stage company effective January 1, 1992, with the new corporate purpose of seeking out acquisitions of properties, businesses, or merger candidates, without limitation as to the nature of the business operations or geographic location of the acquisition candidate.
On April 1, 2002, SPM Group changed its name to "Provectus Pharmaceutical, Inc." and reincorporated in Nevada in preparation for a transaction with Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a privately-held Tennessee corporation ("PPI"). On April 23, 2002, an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between Provectus Pharmaceutical and PPI was approved by the written consent of a majority of the outstanding shares of Provectus Pharmaceutical. As a result, Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc. issued 6,680,000 shares of common stock in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of PPI. As part of the acquisition, Provectus Pharmaceutical changed its name to "Provectus Pharmaceuticals, Inc." and PPI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Provectus. This transaction was recorded as a recapitalization of PPI.
On November 19, 2002, the Company acquired Valley Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a privately-held Tennessee corporation formerly known as Photogen, Inc., by merging PPI with and into Valley and naming the surviving corporation "Xantech Pharmaceuticals, Inc." Photogen, Inc. was separated from Photogen Technologies, Inc. in a non-pro-rata split-off to some of its shareholders. The assets of Photogen, Inc. consisted primarily of the equipment and intangibles related to its therapeutic activity and were recorded at their fair value. The majority shareholders of Valley were also the majority shareholders of Provectus. Valley had no revenues prior to the transaction with the Company. By acquiring Valley, the Company acquired its intellectual property, including issued U.S. patents and patentable inventions.
3. Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share
Basic and diluted loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Loss per share excludes the impact of outstanding options and warrants and convertible preferred stock as they are antidilutive. Potential common shares excluded from the calculation at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, relate to 21,900,837 and 26,521,566 from warrants, 11,774,289 and 8,623,843 from options, and 4,889,997 and 10,583,324 from convertible preferred shares. Included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding are zero and 1,585,411 common shares committed to be issued but not outstanding at March 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
4. Equity Transactions
(a) During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company issued 75,000 shares of common stock to consultants in exchange for services. Consulting costs charged to operations were $67,000.
(b) During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Company issued 641,500 warrants to consultants in exchange for services. Consulting costs charged to operations were $389,172. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, 1,497,328 warrants were exercised for $1,400,001 resulting in 1,497,328 common shares being issued. 2,048,671 warrants were exercised in December 2010 and the corresponding cash of $1,915,509 was received in January 2011 and common shares of 2,048,671 were issued in January 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, 193,333 warrants were forfeited.

(c) In January 2011, we directed Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $44,665. The Company issued 2,233 common shares to Lincoln Park at a fair market value of $1,995 as commitment shares in consideration for Lincoln Park to enter into the purchase agreement. In addition to the foregoing investment, under the purchase agreement, we may, in our sole discretion, direct Lincoln Park to purchase up to an additional $29,950,000 of our common stock over the 30-month term of the purchase agreement at no less than $0.75 per share. However, under a securities purchase agreement that we entered into in January 2011, we have agreed not to draw down on the Lincoln Park purchase agreement until on or after November 16, 2011. On January 13, 2011, the Company and certain investors entered into a securities purchase agreement, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell in a registered direct public offering an aggregate of 5,454,550 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase a total of 7,527,279 shares of its common stock to such investors for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,100,004. The warrants consist of the following: Series A Warrants to purchase up to 40% of the shares of common stock, Series B Warrants to purchase up to 70% of the shares of common stock, and Series C Warrants to purchase up to 28% of the common stock. The Series A Warrants and the Series C Warrants have an exercise price of $1.12 per share, subject to adjustment, and expire five years after their issuance. The Series B Warrants have an exercise price $0.935 per share, subject to adjustment, and expire 150 days after their issuance. The Series C Warrants are only exercisable to the extent that the Series B Warrants are exercised and only in the same percentage that the Series B Warrants are exercised. At March 31, 2011, 1,497,328 of the Series B Warrants were exercised resulting in 598,931 of the Series C Warrants becoming exercisable. The Series A Warrants and Series C Warrants contain additional anti-dilution provisions such that, subject to customary exceptions, in the event of an issuance or deemed issuance by the Company of common stock or securities convertible into common stock at a price per share less than the then applicable exercise price, the then applicable exercise price will be reduced to the new issuance price. The Company determined that these warrants should be classified as liabilities in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 815-40-15-5 (“ASC 815”), “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock”, because the warrants in question contain exercise price reset features that require the exercise price of the warrants be adjusted if the Company issues certain other equity related instruments at a lower price per share. The value of the warrant liability was determined based on the Monte-Carlo Simulation model at the date the warrants were issued. The Series B Warrants do not contain exercise reset provisions. However, the Series B Warrants require the Company to deliver registered shares of common stock and if the Company is not in a position to do so when the shares are exercised, it is assumed they would have to settle the shares in cash. As a result, the Series B Warrants have also been recorded as a liability in accordance with ASC 815 and recorded at fair value on the date of issuance using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. The warrant liability initially recorded on January 13, 2011 for all three series of warrants was $3,204,197. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, 1,497,328 of the Series B Warrants were exercised. The Company determined the fair value of the warrants exercised on the date of exercise and adjusted the related warrant liability for this amount, resulting in a gain of $188,509. The adjusted fair value of the Series B Warrants exercised of $211,569 was reclassified into additional paid-in capital. At March 31, 2011, the warrant liability for the remaining warrants was revalued resulting in a loss on change in fair value of warrant liability of $10,306.
(d) The Company determined that the warrants issued in March and April, 2010 with the 8% convertible preferred stock should be classified as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815 because the warrants in question contain exercise price reset features that require the exercise price of the warrants be adjusted if the Company issues certain other equity related instruments at a lower price per share. The value of the warrant liability was determined based on the Monte-Carlo Simulation model at the date the warrants were issued. The warrant liability is then revalued at each subsequent quarter–end, including at March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2011 there was a loss recognized from the revaluation of the warrant liability of $989,298.
Dividends on the 8% Convertible Preferred Stock accrue at an annual rate of 8% of the original issue price and are payable in either cash or common stock. If the dividend is paid in common stock, the number of shares of common stock will equal the quotient of the amount of cash dividends divided by the market price of the stock on the dividend payment date. The dividends are payable quarterly on the 15th day after the quarter-end. The Company anticipates paying the dividends in common stock. The Company has a deficit and, as a result, the dividends will be recorded against additional paid-in capital. In January 2011, the Company issued 82,169 shares of common stock in dividends on preferred stock in lieu of cash dividends due as of January 15, 2011. At March 31, 2011, the Company recognized dividends of $69,934 which are included in dividends on preferred stock on the consolidated statement of operations. In April 2011, the Company issued 67,991 shares of common stock in dividends on preferred stock in lieu of cash dividends due as of April 15, 2011. During the three months ended March 31, 2011 there were 500,001 shares of the Company’s redeemable preferred stock that converted into 499,999 shares of the Company’s common stock. This conversion, along with a change in the amount of dividends outstanding at March 31, 2011, resulted in a change in the redemption value of the redeemable preferred stock of $384,813 and a reclassification of this amount back into additional paid-in capital.
5. Stock-Based Compensation
One employee of the Company exercised 133,333 options at an exercise price of $0.75 per share of common stock for $100,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2011. There were no options issued for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and no stock-based compensation expense recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
6. Related Party Transaction
The Company paid one non-employee member of the board $45,000 for consulting services performed as of March 31, 2011. The Company paid another non-employee member of the board $6,000 for consulting services performed as of March 31, 2011.
7
The FASB’s authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosure about fair value measurements. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Under this guidance, assets and liabilities carried at fair value must be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1:
|
Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
Level 2:
|
Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.
|
Level 3:
|
Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.
|
In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are measured and reported on a fair value basis. At each reporting period, all assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs are classified as Level 3. The fair value of derivative instruments is determined by management with the assistance of an independent third party valuation specialist. The warrant liability is a derivative instrument and is classified as Level 3. The Company used the Monte-Carlo Simulation model to estimate the fair value of the warrants except for the Series B Warrants. Significant assumptions used at March 31, 2011 for the 2010 warrants include a weighted average term of 4.0 years, a 5% probability that the warrant exercise price would be reset, volatility of 70.7% and a risk free interest rate of 2.24%. Significant assumptions used at March 31, 2011 for the 2011 warrants include a weighted average term of 4.8 years, a 5% probability that the warrant exercise price would be reset, a volatility range between 70.65% and 70.67% and a risk free interest rate range between 1.99% and 2.24%. For the Series B Warrants the Black-Scholes method was used to estimate the fair value of the warrants resulting in a warrant liability of $757,542 at March 31, 2011.
The warrant liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

8. Restatement
The Company issued warrants to purchase 5,291,654 shares of the Company's common stock in March 2010 and warrants to purchase 1,350,000 shares of the Company's common stock in April 2010 (collectively, the "Warrants"). The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.00 per share and expire five years after their issuance. The Warrants contain certain anti-dilution provisions pursuant to which future issuances or deemed issuances of warrants, in certain circumstances as defined in the agreement, without consideration or for consideration per share less than the applicable exercise price in effect immediately prior to such issue, will result in the exercise price of the Warrants being reduced to the consideration per share received by the Company for such deemed issue. The Company originally classified the Warrants as equity in its 2010 quarterly filings.
8
The Company has determined that the Warrants should be classified as liabilities in accordance with ASC 815 due to the anti-dilution provisions contained in the Warrants. The Company reflected the necessary adjustment in the fourth quarter of 2010 and calculated the impact on its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ending March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2010. The applicable line items on the Form 10-Q Consolidated Statements of Operations have been restated below for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2010.
The Company determined its quantitative valuation of the Warrants using a Monte-Carlo Simulation model. Management of the Company believes that the Monte-Carlo Simulation model is appropriate because it is a dynamic model, which accommodates variable inputs.
The Company also determined that its redeemable preferred stock should be reclassified outside of permanent stockholders’ equity.
The impact of the application of ASC 815 on the effected line items of the Company's quarterly financial statement is set forth below:

ITEM 2.
|
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
|
The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our results of operations and our financial condition together with our consolidated subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited financial statements, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, which includes additional information about our critical accounting policies and practices and risk factors, and Item 1A of Part II of this report, which updates those risk factors. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the statement of operations, including trends which might appear, are not necessarily indicative of future operations.
Plan of Operation
We have implemented our integrated business plan, including execution of the current and next phases in clinical development of our pharmaceutical products and continued execution of research programs for new research initiatives.
We intend to proceed as rapidly as possible with a licensure of our dermatology drug product candidate (PH-10) on the basis of our Phase 2 atopic dermatitis and psoriasis results, which are in process of being further developed. We intend to also proceed as rapidly as possible with a majority stake asset sale and subsequent licensure of our OTC products that can be sold with a minimum of regulatory compliance and with the further development of revenue sources through a majority stake asset sale and subsequent licensing of our existing medical device, imaging, and biotech intellectual property portfolio. Although we believe that there is a reasonable basis for our expectation that we will become profitable due to both the licensure of PH-10 and the asset sale of a majority stake via a spin-out transaction of the wholly-owned subsidiaries that contain the non-core assets and subsequent licensure of our non-core products, we cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve, or maintain, a level of profitability sufficient to meet our operating expenses.
Our current plans include continuing to operate with our four employees during the immediate future, but we have added two additional consultants to the two we already had, and anticipate adding additional personnel if necessary in the next 12 months. Our current plans also include minimal purchases of new property, plant and equipment, and increased research and development for additional clinical trials.
We believe that our prescription drug candidates PV-10 and PH-10 provide us with two products in multiple indications, which have been shown in clinical trials to be safe to treat serious cancers and diseases of the skin. We continue to develop clinical trials for these products to show their safety and efficacy, which we believe will be shown based on data in previous studies. Together with our OTC products, medical device, biotech and other non-core technologies, which we intend to sell or license in the future, we believe this combination represents the foundation for maximizing shareholder value this year and next.
Results of Operations
Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2011 and March 31, 2010
Revenues
We had no revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Research and Development
Research and development costs of $1,522,104 for the three months ended March 31, 2011 included payroll of $929,747, consulting and contract labor of $531,881, legal of $22,396, insurance of $16,747, lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations of $3,885, rent and utilities of $15,580, and depreciation expense of $1,868. Research and development costs of $792,934 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 included payroll of $579,440, consulting and contract labor of $90,610, legal of $32,809, insurance of $12,500, lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations of $58,232, rent and utilities of $16,737, and depreciation expense of $2,606. The increase in payroll is primarily the result of an increase in bonuses of $350,000. The increase of approximately $400,000 in consulting and contract labor is primarily the result of an increase in manufacturing preparation, characterization and specifications for PV-10 and PH-10, as well as an increase in intellectual property related consulting expense.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expenses increased by $596,318 in the three months ended March 31, 2011 to $2,503,671 from $1,907,353 for the three months ended March 31, 2010. The increase was due primarily to additional bonuses of approximately $350,000 and expanded investor relations expense of $200,000.
10
Investment Income
Investment income was insignificant in both the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents were $12,400,592 at March 31, 2011, compared with $8,086,200 at December 31, 2010. The increase of approximately $4,300,000 was due primarily to proceeds from the sale of common stock as well as the exercise of warrants and stock options.
At our current cash expenditure rate, we believe our cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to meet our current and planned needs until well into 2013 without additional cash inflows from the exercise of existing warrants or sales of equity securities. We believe we have enough cash on hand at March 31, 2011 to fund operations until well into 2013.
We are seeking to improve our cash flow through both the licensure of PH-10 on the basis of our Phase 2 atopic dermatitis and psoriasis results, and the majority stake asset sale and licensure of our OTC products as well as other non-core assets. However, we cannot assure you that we will be successful in either licensing PH-10 or selling a majority stake of the OTC and other non-core assets via a spin-out transaction and licensing our existing non-core products. Moreover, even if we are successful in improving our current cash flow position, we nonetheless plan to seek additional funds to meet our long-term requirements in 2013 and beyond. We anticipate that these funds will otherwise come from the proceeds of private placements, the exercise of existing warrants outstanding, or public offerings of debt or equity securities. While we believe that we have a reasonable basis for our expectation that we will be able to raise additional funds, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete additional financing in a timely manner. In addition, any such financing may result in significant dilution to shareholders.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our 2010 Form 10-K.
New Accounting Pronouncements
None.
Contractual Obligations - Leases
We lease office and laboratory space in Knoxville, Tennessee, on an annual basis, renewable for one year at our option. We have no lease commitments as of March 31, 2011. We are currently leasing on a month-to-month basis.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws. These statements reflect management’s current knowledge, assumptions, beliefs, estimates, and expectations and express management’s current views of future performance, results, and trends and may be identified by their use of terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “will,” and other similar terms. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to materially differ from those described in the forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Such statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements after this date.
Risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to materially differ from those described in forward-looking statements include those discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including those described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), and the following:
|
·
|
our ability to license our dermatology drug product candidate, PH-10, on the basis of our Phase 2 atopic dermatitis and psoriasis results, which are in the process of being further developed;
|
11
|
·
|
our determination, based on guidance of the FDA, whether to proceed with or without a partner with a Phase 3 trial of PV-10 to treat metastatic melanoma and the costs associated with such a trial;
|
|
·
|
our determination whether to license our metastatic melanoma drug product candidate, and other solid tumors such as liver cancer, PV-10, if such licensure is appropriate considering the timing and structure of such a license, or to commercialize PV-10 on our own to treat metastatic melanoma and other solid tumors such as liver cancer; and
|
|
·
|
our ability to raise additional capital if we determine to commercialize PV-10 on our own.

ITEM 3.
|
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
|
We had no holdings of financial or commodity instruments as of March 31, 2011, other than cash and cash equivalents, short-term deposits, money market funds, and interest bearing investments in U.S. governmental debt securities. We have accounted for certain warrants issued in March and April 2010 and January 2011 as liabilities at their fair value upon issuance, which are remeasured at each period end with the change in fair value recorded in the statement of operations. See note 4 of interim financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
All of our business is transacted in U.S. dollars and, accordingly, foreign exchange rate fluctuations have not had a significant impact on us, and they are not expected to have a significant impact on us in the foreseeable future.
ITEM 4.
|
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
|
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. Our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our "disclosure controls and procedures" (as that term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2011, the end of the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting other than the following related to properly recording certain complex financial instruments.
Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2010, using the criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Based on that assessment, we identified a material weakness in our internal controls. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. A material weakness regarding management’s lack of expertise to account for complex financial instruments has been identified by management. Specifically, we did not properly account for the issuance of certain warrants in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification 815-40-15 “Determining Whether an Instrument (or Embedded Feature) Is Indexed to an Entity’s Own Stock” in its Quarterly filings in 2010. Accordingly, we have restated the previously issued 2010 quarterly financial statements. See Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, for a full discussion of the effects of this restatement. Subsequent to December 31, 2010, to remediate the material weakness, management hired a consultant to help them analyze and account for complex financial instruments.
