The Company has exclusively licensed from Emory University certain Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS)(“Emory”) vaccine technology which was developed in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
GeoVax was originally incorporated under the laws of Illinois as Dauphin Technology, Inc.Prevention (“Dauphin”CDC”). Until December 2003, Dauphin marketed mobile hand-held, pen-based computers and broadband set-top boxes and provided private, interactive cable systems to the extended stay hospitality industry. Dauphin was unsuccessful and its operations were terminated in December 2003. On September 28, 2006, Dauphin completed a merger (the “Merger”) with GeoVax, Inc. which was incorporated on June 27, 2001 (date of “inception”). As a result of the Merger, the shareholders of GeoVax, Inc. exchanged their shares of common stock for Dauphin common stock and GeoVax, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dauphin. In connection with the Merger, Dauphin changed its name to GeoVax Labs, Inc., replaced its officers and directors with those of GeoVax, Inc. and moved its offices to Atlanta, Georgia. The Company currently does not plan to conduct any business other than GeoVax, Inc.’s business of developing new products for protection from, and treatment of, human diseases. The Merger was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting as a reverse acquisition in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Under this method of accounting, Dauphin was treated as the “acquired” company and, for accounting purposes, the Merger was treated as the equivalent of GeoVax, Inc. issuing stock for the net monetary assets of Dauphin, accompanied by a recapitalization of GeoVax, Inc. Accordingly, all financial information prior to September 28, 2006 presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, or in the notes herein, as well as any references to prior operations, are those of GeoVax, Inc. In June 2008, the Company was reincorporatedis incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware.Delaware and its principal offices are located in Atlanta, Georgia.
The Company is devoting all of its present efforts to research and development and is a development stage enterprise as defined by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 7, “AccountingAccounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”, and we are devoting substantially all of our present efforts to research and development. We have funded our activities to date almost exclusively from equity financings and government grants. We will continue to require substantial funds to continue our research and development activities, including preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates, and to commence sales and marketing efforts, if the United States Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) or other regulatory approvals are obtained.
In September 2007, the National Institutes of Health awarded the Company a grant of approximately $15 million (approximately $3 million awarded annually) to be funded over a 5 year period (see Note 7)Enterprises. Management expects that the proceeds from this grant, combined with our existing cash resources, will be sufficient to fund our planned research and development activities through the first half of 2009, but that additional funds will be necessary to meet our future operating cash flow requirements. In May 2008, we entered into a $10 million common stock purchase agreement with a third party institutional fund (see Note 4) which we intend to utilize to help meet our additional cash needs. The extent to which we rely on the common stock purchase agreement as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors including the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we can secure working capital from other sources if we choose to seek such other sources. Even if we are able to access the full $10 million under the arrangement, we may still need additional capital to fully implement our future business, operating and development plans. While we believe that we will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund our operations through the aforementioned financing arrangement or through other sources, there can be no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved and that we will succeed in our future operations. If we fail to obtain additional funding when needed, we will be forced to scale back, or terminate, our operations, or to seek to merge with or to be acquired by another company.
The accompanying financial statements at September 30, 2008March 31, 2009 and for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2009 and 2008 and 2007 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, 2007.2008. Our operating results are expected to fluctuate for the foreseeable future. Therefore, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as predictive of the results in future periods. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should we be unable to continue in existence.
The Company disclosed in Note 2 to its financial statements included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20072008 those accounting policies that it considers significant in determining its results of operations and financial position. There have been no material changes to, or application of, the accounting policies previously identified and described in the Form 10-K.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2006, theEffective January 1, 2008, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157,Fair Value Measurements(“SFAS 157”), which became effective for the Company on January 1, 2008.. SFAS 157 provides enhanced guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 provides a common definition of fair value and establishes a framework to make the measurement of fair value under generally accepted accounting principles more consistent and comparable. SFAS 157 also requires expanded disclosures to provide information about the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value, and the effect of fair value measures on earnings. In February 2008, the FASB issued Staff Position No. 157-2, (“FSP 157-2”) which delaysdelayed the January 1, 2008 effective date of SFAS 157 for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those already being recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually), until January 1, 2009. Implementation of these standards had no impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R),“Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and requires the acquirer to disclose the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. If and when GeoVax acquires one or more entities in the future, we will apply SFAS 141(R) for the purposes of accounting for such acquisitions.
In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 amends Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, “Consolidated Financial Statements,” to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. GeoVax presently has no such noncontrolling interests. If and at such time as such an interest exists, we will apply SFAS 160.
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value and report unrealized gains and losses in earnings. Such accounting is optional and is generally to be applied instrument by instrument. We currently have no instruments for which we are applying the fair value accounting option provided by SFAS 159, therefore the adoption of SFAS 159 had no impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
Effective January 1, 2008,2009, we adopted FASB Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 07-3, “Accounting for Nonrefundable Advance Payments for Goods or Services to Be Used in Future Research and Development Activities” (“EITF 07-3”). EITF No. 07-3 addresses the diversity that exists with respect to the accounting for the non-refundable portion of a payment made by a research and development entity for future research and development activities. Under EITF 07-3, an entity would defer and capitalize non-refundable advance payments made for research and development activities until the related goods are delivered or the related services are performed. The adoption of EITF 07-3 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 161”). SFAS 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of SFAS 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging.” The adoption of SFAS 161 is effective for fiscal years beginning after

7


November 15, 2008. We will adopt SFAS 161 in the first quarter of 2009 and currently expect such adoption to havehad no impacteffect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In April 2008, theEffective January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB issued Staff Position No. 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets” (“FSP 142-3”). FSP 142-3 amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”. FSP 142-3 will be effective for GeoVax in the first quarter of 2009. We are currently assessing the impactThe adoption of FSP 142-3 had no effect on our results of operations, financial statements.position, or cash flows.
Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted FASB Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1, “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“EITF 03-6-1”). EITF 03-6-1 addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting, and therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in calculating earnings per share under the two-class method described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” EITF 03-6-1 requires companies to treat

6


unvested share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividend or dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. The adoption of EITF 03-6-1 had no effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In May 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 162, “The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS 162”). SFAS 162 identifies the sources of accounting principles and the framework for selecting the principles to be used in the preparation of financial statements of nongovernmental entities that are presented in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. SFAS 162 will become effective 60 days following Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) approval of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) amendments to AU Section 411, “The Meaning of Present Fairly in Conformity With Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.” We do not anticipate the adoption of SFAS 162 towill have a material, impactif any, effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
In June 2008,April 2009, the FASB issued Staff Position No. EITF 03-6-1,FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1,Determining WhetherInterim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities” (“EITF 03-6-1”FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). EITF 03-6-1 addresses whetherFSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends FASB Statement No. 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities priorinterim as well as in annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to vesting,require those disclosures in all interim financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and therefore, need to be includedAPB 28-1 is effective for periods ending after June 15, 2009. We will adopt FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in the earnings allocation in calculating earnings per share under the two-class method described in FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings per Share.” EITF 03-6-1 requires companies to treat unvested share-based payment awards that have non-forfeitable rights to dividend or dividend equivalents as a separate class of securities in calculating earnings per share. EITF 03-6-1 will be effective for GeoVax in the firstsecond quarter of 2009. We are2009 and currently assessing the impact of EITF 03-6-1, but do not expect that such adoption will have a material, if any, effect on our results of operations, financial position, or cash flows.
We do not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting or reporting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect 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 shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares primarily consist of employee stock options and warrants issued to investors. Common share equivalents which potentially could dilute basic earnings per share in the future, and which were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive, totaled approximately 111.5114.8 million and 63.693.6 million shares at September 30,March 31, 2009 and 2008, and 2007, respectively.
4. Stockholders’ Equity
Common Stock Transactions
In January 2008, we entered into an agreement with a third party consultant for investor relations and financial consulting services. The agreement provides for the issuance during 2008 of an aggregate 500,000 shares of our common stock, 400,000 of which have been issued as of September 30, 2008. We have recorded general and administrative expense of $18,084 and $55,917 for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively, pursuant to this arrangement, with $6,083 recorded as a prepaid expense as of September 30, 2008.
During April and May 2008, we sold an aggregate of 8,806,449 shares of our common stock to 16 individual accredited investors for an aggregate purchase price of $1,365,000. We also issued to the investors warrants to purchase an aggregate of 14,104,841 shares of common stock at a price of $0.33 per share with four or five year terms.
Common Stock Purchase Agreement
In May 2008, we signed a common stock purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC (“Fusion”). The Purchase Agreement allows us to require Fusion to purchase up to $10 million of our common stock in amounts ranging from $80,000 to $1.0 million per purchase transaction, depending on certain conditions, from time to

Such warrants have a weighted-average exercise price of $0.25 per share and a weighted-average remaining contractual life of 2.92.4 years.
5. Commitments
At September 30, 2008, there are approximately $653,000 of unrecorded contractual commitments associated with our vaccine manufacturing activities, for services expected to be rendered to us during the remainder of 2008 and early 2009.
During July 2008, we signed a non-binding letter of intent for a joint collaboration and commercial license for the use of vaccine manufacturing technology owned by Vivalis S.A., a French biopharmaceutical company. Subsequent to the signing of the letter of intent, we paid a signing fee of approximately $241,000 to Vivalis (recorded as a Prepaid Expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet), and upon execution of the final license agreement, we will incur a commitment of approximately $1.1 million as our contribution to the joint development effort during 2008 and 2009.
6. Income Taxes
Because of our historically significant net operating losses, we have not been subject topaid income taxes since inception. We maintain deferred tax assets that reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. These deferred tax assets are comprised primarily of net operating loss carryforwards and also include amounts relating to nonqualified stock options and research and development credits. The net deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance because of the uncertainty of our future profitability and our ability to utilize the deferred tax assets. Utilization of operating losses and credits may be subject to substantial annual limitations due to ownership change provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization.
7.6. NIH Grant Funding
In September 2007, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded us an Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development (IPCAVD) grant to support our HIV/AIDS vaccine program. The project period for the grant, which is renewable annually, covers a five year period commencingwhich commenced October 2007, with an expected annual award of approximately $3between

$3 and $4 million per year or $15(approximately $17 million in the aggregate.aggregate). We are utilizing this funding to further our HIV/AIDS vaccine development, optimization, production and human clinical trial testing including Phase 2 human clinical trials planned for 2008.testing. We record revenue associated with

the grant as the related costs and expenses are incurred. During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded $2,298,571$710,155 and $599,991, respectively, of revenue associated with the grant.
7. Related Party Transactions
In June 2008, we entered into two subcontracts with Emory for the purpose of conducting research and development activities associated with our grant $275,847from the NIH (see Note 6). During the three month period ending March 31, 2009, we recorded $218,632 of expense associated with these subcontracts. All amounts paid to Emory under these subcontracts are reimbursable to us pursuant to the NIH grant.
In March 2008, we entered into a consulting agreement with Donald Hildebrand, the Chairman of our Board of Directors and our former President & Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which was received in OctoberMr. Hildebrand provides business and technical advisory services to the Company. The term of the consulting agreement began on April 1, 2008 and iswill end on December 31, 2009. During the three month period ending March 31, 2009, we recorded as a receivable at September 30, 2008 in$14,400 of expense associated with the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.consulting agreement.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which reflect our management’s analysis only. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking statements.
Management’s discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition are based upon our financial statements. These statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These principles require management to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis we evaluate these estimates based on historical experience and various other assumptions that we believe 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 from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

GeoVax is a clinical stageclinical-stage biotechnology company focused on developing human vaccines for diseases caused by Human Immunodeficiency Virus and other infectious agents. We have exclusively licensed from Emory University certain AIDSHIV vaccine technology which was developed in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

9


Our AIDSHIV vaccine candidates have successfully completed preclinical efficacy testing in non-human primates and Phase 1 clinical testing trials in humans. The human trial was conducted by the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN), a division of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and was satisfactorily concluded in June 2004. A series of four additional Phase 1 human trials (conducted by the HVTN) evaluating our AIDS vaccines at several locations in the United States began in April 2006. One trial began in April 2006, a second trial began in September 2006, and the third and fourth trials began in July 2007.
We anticipate beginning a Phase 22a human clinical trial for our preventative AIDSHIV vaccine candidate inwas initiated during the fourth quarter of 2008, subject to FDA review and clearance of the manufacturing data, and initiation of the clinical trial sites by the HVTN.patient enrollment commenced in February 2009. The costs of conducting our human clinical trials to date have been borne by HVTN,the HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN), funded by the NIH, with GeoVax incurring

11


costs associated with manufacturing the clinical vaccine supplies and other study support. HVTN will also bear the cost of conducting our Phase 22a human clinical study, planned for 2008, but we can notcannot predict the level of support we will receive from HVTN for any additional clinical studies. Our operations are also partially supported by an Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development [IPCAVD](IPCAVD) Grant from the NIH. We expect thisThe project period for the grant to provide approximately $15 million (approximately $3 million awarded annually) to us overcovers a five year period that beganwhich commenced October 2007, with an expected annual award of between $3-4 million per year (approximately $17 million in October 2007. Asthe aggregate). The grant is subject to annual renewal, with the latest grant award covering the period from September 2008 through August 2009. We intend to pursue additional grants from the federal government, however, as we progress to the later stages of our vaccine development activities, government financial support may be more difficult to obtain, or may not be available at all. It will, therefore, be necessary for us to look to other sources of funding in order to finance our development activities.
We anticipate incurring additional losses for several years as we expand our drug development and clinical programs and proceed into higher cost human clinical trials. Conducting clinical trials for our vaccine candidates in development is a lengthy, time-consuming and expensive process. We do not expect to generate product sales from our development efforts for several years. If we are unable to successfully develop and market pharmaceutical products over the next several years, our business, financial condition and results of operations will be adversely impacted.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
We have identified the following accounting principles that we believe are key to an understandingManagement’s discussion and analysis of our financial statements. These importantcondition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates its estimates and adjusts the estimates as necessary. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies require management’s most difficult, subjective judgments.
Other Assets
Other assets consist principally of license agreementsare summarized in Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in our Form 10-K for the useyear ended December 31, 2008. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of technology obtained through the issuance of the Company’s common stock. These license agreements are amortized on a straight line basis over ten years.our consolidated financial statements:
Impairment of Long-Lived AssetsAssets.
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to the future net cash flows expected to be generated by such assets. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the discounted expected future net cash flows from the assets.
Revenue RecognitionRecognition.
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 No. 104”). SAB No. 104 provides guidance in applying U.S. generally accepted accounting principles to revenue recognition issues, and specifically addresses revenue recognition for upfront, nonrefundable fees received in connection with research collaboration agreements. Our revenue consists primarily of government grant revenue, which is recorded as income as the related costs are incurred.
Stock-Based CompensationCompensation.
Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payments(“ (“SFAS 123R”), which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payments made to employees and directors based on estimated fair values on the grant date. SFAS 123R replaces SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,, and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.Employees. We adopted SFAS 123R using the prospective application method which requires us to apply the provisions of SFAS 123R prospectively to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after December 31, 2005. Awards granted after December 31, 2005 are valued at fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and recognized on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $2,784,706$1,970,971 and total assets of $3,857,773,$2,769,423, as compared to $1,990,356$2,191,180 and $3,246,404,$3,056,241, respectively, at December 31, 2007.2008. Working capital totaled $2,847,193$2,237,473 at September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, compared to $2,432,276$2,455,412 at December 31, 2007.2008.
Sources and Uses of Cash. We are a development-stage company (as defined by SFAS No. 7, “Accounting and Reporting by Development Stage Enterprises”) and do not have any products approved for sale. Due to our significant research and development expenditures, we have not been profitable and have generated operating losses

12


since our inception in 2001. Our primary sources of cash are from sales of our equity securities and from government grant funding.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash used in operating activities was $1,542,545$460,209 and $764,971 for the nine monthsthree month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2009 and 2008, as compared to $1,611,173 for the comparable period in 2007.respectively. Generally, the differences between years are due to fluctuations in our net losses which, in turn, result primarily from fluctuations in expenditures from our research activities, offset by net changes in our assets and liabilities.
In September 2007, the National Institutes of Health (NIH)NIH awarded us an Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development (IPCAVD) grant to support our HIV/AIDS vaccine program. The project period for the grant, which is renewable annually, covers a five year period which commenced October 2007, with an expected annual award of approximatelybetween $3 and $4 million per year or $15(approximately $17 million in the aggregate.aggregate). We are utilizing this funding to further our HIV/AIDS vaccine development, optimization, and production for human clinical trial testing. The funding we receive pursuant to this grant is recorded as revenue at the time the related expenditures are incurred, and thus partially offsets our net losses.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Our investing activities have consisted predominantlysolely of capital expenditures. Capital expenditures for the nine monthsthree month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $-0- and 2007 were $71,646 and $-0-,$2,238, respectively.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2,408,541$240,000 and $255,000$897,450 for the nine monthsthree month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2009 and 2008, and 2007, respectively. The cash generated by our financing activities generally relates to the sale of our common stock to individual accredited investors during the 2008 period, and to Fusion Capital offset by costs associated with our financing arrangement with Fusion Capitalduring the 2009 period (see discussion below).
In May 2008, we signed a common stock purchase agreementthe Purchase Agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (“Fusion”Fusion Capital”) which provides for the sale of up to $10 million of shares of our common stock. In connection with this agreement, we agreed to filefiled a registration statement related to the transaction with the SEC covering the shares that have been issued or may be issued to Fusion Capital under the common stock purchase agreement.Purchase Agreement. The SEC declared effective the registration statement on July 1, 2008, and we now have the right until July 1,31, 2010 to sell our shares of common stock to Fusion Capital from time to time in amounts ranging from $80,000 to $1 million per purchase transaction, depending on certain conditions as set forth in the agreement.Purchase Agreement. During the three months ended September 30, 2008March 31, 2009, we received $240,000 from the sale of our common stock to Fusion Capital pursuant to this arrangement.
We believe that our current working capital, combined with the proceeds from the IPCAVD grant awarded annually from the NIH and our anticipated use of the Purchase Agreement with Fusion Capital, will be sufficient to support our planned level of operations at least through the second quarter of 2009, and that future proceeds we may receive under our agreement with Fusion will help support our operations beyond that time.March 31, 2010. The extent to which we rely on the Fusion agreementPurchase Agreement as a source of funding will depend on a number of factors including the prevailing market price of our common stock and the extent to which we can secure working capital from other sources if we choose to seek such other sources. Through March 31, 2009, we had received a cumulative total of $740,000 from Fusion Capital. Even if we are able to access the remainder of the full $10 million under the Fusion agreement,Purchase Agreement, we may still need additional capital to fully implement our business, operating and development plans. Should the financing we require to sustain our working capital needs be unavailable or prohibitively expensive when we require it, the consequences could be a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. While we believe that we will be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund our operations through grants, the agreement with Fusion Purchase Agreement and/or through other sources, there can be no assurances that such additional funding will be available to us on reasonable terms or at all.
Our capital requirements, particularly as they relate to product research and development, have been and will continue to be significant. We intend to seek FDA approval of our products, which may take several years. We will not generate revenues from the sale of our products for at least several years, if at all. We will be dependent on obtaining financing from third parties in order to maintain our operations, including our clinical program. Due to the existing uncertainty in the capital and credit markets, and adverse regional and national economic conditions which may persist or worsen, capital may not be

11


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 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 and Commitments. At September 30, 2008, there are approximately $653,000
As of March 31, 2009, we had $298,800 of unrecorded contractual commitments associated with our vaccine manufacturing activities, for services expected to be rendered to us during 2009. As of that date, we had no other firm purchase obligations or commitments for capital expenditures, no committed lines of credit or other committed funding or long-term debt, and no lease obligations (operating or capital). We have employment agreements with our senior management team, each of which may be terminated with 30 days advance notice. We have no other contractual obligations, with the remainderexception of 2008 and early 2009.commitments which are contingent upon the occurrence of future events.

13


DuringIn July 2008, we signed a non-binding letter of intent for a joint collaboration and commercial license for the use of vaccine manufacturing technology owned by Vivalis S.A., a French biopharmaceutical company. Subsequent to the signing of the letter of intent, we paid a signing fee of approximately $241,000 to Vivalis, and upon execution of the final license agreement, we will incur a commitment of approximately $1.1 million$900,000 as our contribution to the joint development effort during 2008in 2009 and 2009.early 2010. As the development milestone fees are denominated in Euros, this estimate of our financial commitment is based on current exchange rates; the actual amounts will be greater or lesser, depending on the actual exchange rates at the time of each milestone achievement.
We have no other significant purchase commitments, lease obligations, long-term debt obligations or other long-term liabilities.
Results of Operations
Net Loss.
We recorded a net loss of $722,108$861,509 for the three months ended September 30, 2008March 31, 2009 as compared to $1,165,519$682,510 for the three months ended September 30, 2007. For the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recorded a net loss of $2,688,970, as compared to a net loss of $3,085,926 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007.March 31, 2008. Our net lossesoperating results 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
We recorded grant revenues of $710,155 and $599,991 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During 2007, we recorded grant revenue of $1,322,502 and $2,298,571, respectively. No grant revenue was recording during the comparable periods in 2007. In September 2007, the National Institutes of Health (NIH)were awarded to GeoVax an Integrated Preclinical/Clinical AIDS Vaccine Development (IPCAVD) grant by the NIH to support our HIV/AIDS vaccine program. The project period for thisthe grant, which is renewable annually, covers a five year period which commenced in October 2007, with an expected annual award of approximatelybetween $3 to$4 million per year or $15(approximately $17 million in the aggregate.aggregate). We will utilizeare utilizing this funding to further our HIV/AIDS vaccine development, optimization and production for human clinical trial testing.production. The revenue associated with this grant is recorded assubject to annual renewal, with the related costs and expenseslatest grant award covering the period from September 2008 through August 2009. As of March 31, 2009, there is approximately $2.4 million remaining from the current grant year’s award. Assuming that the remaining budgeted amounts under the grant are incurred.awarded annually to the Company, there is an additional $11.1 million available through the grant for the remainder of the original five year project period (ending August 31, 2012).
Research and Development.DevelopmentDuring the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, we incurred $1,362,490 and $2,725,176, respectively, of
Our research and development expense as compared to $360,227expenses were $857,236 and $1,273,245, respectively,$603,478 during the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007. ResearchMarch 31, 2009 and development expense for the three month and nine month periods of 2008, includes stock compensation expense of $53,712 and $438,937, respectively, while the comparable periods of 2007 include stock compensation expense of $173,014 and $186,899, respectively (see discussion below).respectively. Research and development expenses vary considerably on a quarter-to-quarterperiod-to-period basis, depending on our need for vaccine manufacturing and testing of manufactured vaccine by third parties. The increaseparties, and due to fluctuations in researchthe timing of other external expenditures related to the NIH grant. Research and development expense from the 2007 period to the 2008 period is due primarily to costs associated with our vaccine manufacturing activities in preparationincludes stock-based compensation expense of $85,439 and $37,917 and for the commencement of2009 and 2008 periods respectively (see discussion below). Our recently initiated Phase 22a clinical testing, and also due to higher costs associated with the addition of new personnel. Our planned human clinical trialstrial will be conducted and funded by the HVTN, but we will beare responsible for the manufacture of vaccine product to be used in the trial. 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 as we enter Phase 2 clinical trials and will continue to significantly increase in 2009 and beyond as we progress through the human clinical trial process leading up to possible product approval by the FDA.
In July 2008, we signed a letter of intent with Vivalis S.A., a French biopharmaceutical company, for joint collaboration and license of Vivalis’ proprietary EBx® technology. The letter of intent contemplates development of a process using the EBx® technology to manufacture the MVA component of the GeoVax HIV-1 vaccine. Vivalis’ vaccine manufacturing technology is based on a duck embryonic stem cell substrate platform, providing continuous growth from a fully characterized frozen cell bank without necessitating fertilized embryo extraction and processing, as with present chicken

12


cell based technologies. Furthermore, the EB66® cell line can be grown in suspension (without the cells attached to the surface of the growth vessel) and can be scaled up for growth in giant bioreactors (a cutting edge industrial method) for large scale production of the MVA viral vaccine. We expect the final agreement with Vivalis to be executed during the first half of 2009. After execution of this agreement, we expect to incur between $1.5 and $2.0 million in costs associated with development of this vaccine manufacturing technology during 2009 and early 2010.
General and Administrative Expense.Expense
During the three month and nine month periodsperiod ended September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, we incurred general and administrative costs of $698,948 and $2,322,292, respectively,$723,815, as compared to $814,803 and $1,864,978, respectively,$705,642 during the three month and nine month periodsperiod ended September 30, 2007.March 31, 2008. General and administrative costs include officers’ salaries, legal and accounting costs, patent costs, amortization expense associated with intangible assets, and other general corporate expenses. The principal reason for the changes in generalGeneral and administrative expense for the three month and nine month periods of 2008 as compared to the comparable 2007 periods is that stock-based compensation expense amounted to $352,118 and $1,181,358 during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008, respectively, while the comparable periods of 2007 includealso includes stock-based compensation expense of $480,304$303,381 and $741,403,$360,679 and for the 2009 and 2008 periods respectively (see discussion below). We expect that our general and administrative costs will increase in the future in support of expanded research and development activities.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense.Expense
During the three month and nine month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded total stock-based compensation expense of $405,830$388,820 and $1,620,295,$398,596, respectively, which is included in research and development expense, or general and administrative expense according to the classification of cash compensation paid to our employees, directors or consultants and director to whom the stock compensation awards were granted. These figures include amounts related to the issuance of stock options to employees and directors, extension of existing stock option contracts, and common stock and stock purchase warrants issued to consultants. Stock-based compensation expense for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007 was $653,318 and $928,302, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is calculated and recorded in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R. We adopted SFAS

14


123R using the prospective application method which requires us to apply its provisions prospectively to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased or cancelled after December 31, 2005. Awards granted after December 31, 2005 are valued at fair value in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123R and recognized on a straight line basis over the service periods of each award. As of September 30, 2008,March 31, 2009, there was $1,945,484$1,461,503 of unrecognized compensation expense related to stock-based compensation arrangements.
Other Income & Expense.
Interest income for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30,March 31, 2009 and 2008 was $16,828$9,387 and $52,927, respectively, as compared to $9,511 and $52,297, respectively, for the three months and nine month periods ended September 30, 2007.$26,619, respectively. The variances between periods are primarily attributable to the incremental cash balances available for investment during each respective period.period as well as the prevailing interest rates available from our financial institution.
Item 3Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
