As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $99,940,064.$177,309,522.

The Company expects to incur substantial expenditures to further develop each of its technologies. The Company believes the working capital at September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022 will be sufficient to meet the business objectives as presently structured through Decemberthe fourth quarter of 2017.2022. As such, there is substantial doubt that we can continue as a going concern beyond that date.

The Company’s ability to continue operations after its current cash resources are exhausted depends on its ability to obtain additional financing or achieve profitable operations, as to which no assurances can be given. Cash requirements may vary materially from those now planned because of changes in the Company’s focus and direction of its research and development programs, competitive and technical advances, or other developments. Additional financing will be required to continue operations after the Company exhausts its current cash resources and to continue its long-term plans for clinical trials and new product development. There can be no assurance that any such financing can be realized by the Company, or if realized, what the terms thereof may be, or that any amount that the Company is able to raise will be adequate to support the Company’s working capital requirements until it achieves profitable operations.

The Company intends to seek additional funding through sublicensing arrangements, joint venturing or partnering, sales of rights to technology, government grants and public or private financings. The Company’s future success depends on its ability to raise capital and ultimately generate revenue and attain profitability. The Company cannot be certain that additional capital, whether through selling additional debt or equity securities or obtaining a line of credit or other loan, will be available to it or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company issues additional securities to raise funds, these securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of its common stock, and the Company’s current shareholders may experience dilution. If the Company is unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, the Company may be required to curtail its current development programs, cut operating costs and forego future development and other opportunities.

3. Significant Accounting Policies

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016,Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the Financialaccounts of Oragenics, Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiary Noachis Terra, Inc. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

New Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of

cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. This guidance has not had a material impact on its results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

There are no otheradditional accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022, that have had, or are expected to have, ana material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The principal areasarea of estimation reflected in the consolidated financial statements are anticipated milestone payments, stock based compensation, valuation of warrants, and income tax valuation allowance. Inventory obsolescence reserve, sales returns and allowances and the allowance for doubtful accounts were the principal areas of estimation that had been reflected in the financial statements related to discontinued operations.is stock-based compensation.

Restricted Cash

The Company has cash that is restricted pursuant to the terms of the Note Purchase Agreement with Intrexon Corporation (“Intrexon”). Proceeds from the note are to be used to fund the Company’s AG013 research and clinical trials.

Stock-Based Payment Arrangements

Generally, all forms of stock-based payments, including stock option grants, warrants, and restricted stock grantswarrants are measured at their fair value on the awards’ grant date typically using a Black-Scholes pricing model. Stock-based compensation awards issued to non-employees for services rendered are recorded at the fair value of the stock-based payment. The expense resulting from stock-based payments are recorded in research and development expense or selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statement of operations, depending on the nature of the services provided. Stock-based payment expense is recorded over the requisite service period in which the grantee provides services to us. To the extent the stock option grants, warrants, or restricted stock grantswarrants do not vest at the grant date they are subject to forfeiture.

Stock-Based Compensation

US GAAP requires all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the consolidated financial statements based on their fair values as of the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is recorded over the requisite service period in which the grantee provides services to us, to the extent the options do not vest at the grant date and are subject to forfeiture. For performance-based awards that do not include market-based conditions, we record share-based compensation expense only when the performance-based milestone is deemed probable of achievement. We utilize both quantitative and qualitative criteria to judge whether milestones are probable of achievement. For awards with market-based performance conditions, we recognize the grant-date fair value of the award over the derived service period regardless of whether the underlying performance condition is met. In connection with adopting ASU 2016-09, the Company made an accounting policy election to account for forfeitures in compensation expense as they occur.

Warrants

Warrants

The Company used the Black Scholes Option Pricing Model in calculating the relative fair value of any warrants that have been issued.

Derivative Liabilities

In accordance with ASC 480-10-25 Liabilities-Distinguishing from Equity, warrants are accounted for as liabilities at their fair value during periods where they can be net cash settled in case of a change in control transaction.

The warrants are accounted for as a liability at their fair value at each reporting period. The value of the derivative warrant liability will be re-measured at each reporting period with changes in fair value recorded as a change in the value of derivative liability. To derive an estimate of the fair value of these warrants, a Black Scholes Option Pricing Model is utilized.

Net Loss Per Share

During all periods presented, the Company had securities outstanding that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future but were excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share, as their effect would have been antidilutive because the Company reported a net loss for all periods presented. Basic and diluted net loss per share amounts are the same for the periods presented. Net loss per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding.

Revenue Recognition

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, the Company sold its consumer probiotic business, from which it had historically generated revenues. As a result of this sale, the Company is no longer generating revenues.Concentrations

Concentrations

In June of 2016, the Company sold its consumer probiotics business, as such the Company is no longer dependent on key suppliers to continue to operate the consumer probiotics business.

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. The Company maintains cash accounts in commercial banks, which may, at times, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts. The Company believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2022, the uninsured portion of this balance was $4,081,569.$21,122,463. As of December 31, 2016,2021, the uninsured portion of this balance was $3,830,618.$27,015,703.

Grant Revenue

Grant revenues are derived from a small business innovation research grant in the amount of $250,000 (“Computer-aided Design for Improved Lantibiotics” R41GM136034. The Company recognizes grant revenue as reimbursable grant costs are incurred up to the pre-approved award limits within the budget period. The costs associated with these reimbursements are reflected as a component of research and development expenses in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

NIH License

Through NTI, the Company is a party to a Patent License and Biological Materials License Agreement (the “License Agreement” or “NIH License”), dated March 23, 2020, with the United States Department of Health and Human Services (the “HHS”), as represented by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (“NIAID”), an Institute within the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”). Under the terms of the License Agreement, we hold a nonexclusive, worldwide license to certain specified patent rights (including patent applications, provisional patent applications and Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) patent applications) and biological materials relating to the use of pre-fusion coronavirus spike proteins to exploit products (“Licensed Products”) and practice processes (“Licensed Processes”) that are covered by the licensed patent rights and biological materials for the purpose of developing and commercializing a vaccine product candidate for SARS-CoV-2.

Under the terms of the License Agreement, the NIAID is entitled to receive a non-creditable, nonrefundable upfront license issue royalty of $30,000 and reimbursement of $11,739 for our pro rata share of the NIAID’s past and future patent prosecution-related expenses (which amounts have already been paid). Additionally, the NIAID is entitled to receive lump sum nonrefundable minimum annual royalties, which increase in the year after the first commercial sale of any products developedLicensed Products or the practice of any Licensed Processes, as well as lump sum benchmark royalties following our completion of certain commercial development and sales-related benchmarks. The NIH is entitled to receive earned royalties on the annual net sales of Licensed Products and the practice of any Licensed Processes (subject to certain reductions), at certain low- to mid-single digit royalty rates, which rates vary based on the total amount of annual net sales and the geographic market in which those sales occur. We must provide regular written reports to the NIAID on the development status of and royalty payments relating to the Licensed Products and the Licensed Processes.

The License Agreement will expire upon (a) twenty (20) years from the UFRFfirst commercial sale where no licensed technology thatpatent rights exist or have ceased to exist or (b) the Companyexpiration of the last patent contained in the licensed patent rights, unless terminated earlier. None of the applications included in the NIH licensed patent rights have issued yet. The NIH may sell as royalty toterminate or modify the UFRF. In addition,license in the event of a material breach, including if the Company sublicenses any rights granteddoes not meet certain milestones by the amended license agreement, the Company is obligated to pay to the UFRF 22% of all revenues received from the sublicenses, excluding monies received solely for development costs.

The post-commercialization minimum royalty payments of $50,000 annually would be due following payment of a commercialization fee. The one-time additional royalty payment would be due when total cumulative royalties paid to UFRF exceed $2.0 million, upon which we would be obligated to make a one-time additional payment to UFRF of 10% of the total royalties due to UFRF in the calendar year in which cumulative royalties exceeded $2.0 million.

The Company is required to make minimum annual maintenance payments to the UFRF for the term of the amended license agreement in the amount of $10,000 for the license agreement.

Overview

We are a development-stage company dedicated to fighting infectious diseases including coronaviruses and multidrug-resistant organisms. Our lead product (NT-CoV2-1) is an intranasal vaccine candidate to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) from the information expressly requiredSARS-CoV-2 virus and variants thereof. The NT-CoV2-1 program leverages coronavirus spike protein research licensed from the National Institute of Health and the National Research Council of Canada with a focus on reducing viral transmission and offering a more patient-friendly intranasal administration. Our lantibiotics program features a novel class of antibiotics against bacteria that have developed resistance to be included in this filing, we will provide such further material information, if any, as may be necessary to make the required statements, in lightcommercial antibiotics.

Our SARS-CoV-2 Vaccine Product Candidate - NT-CoV2-1

Following our May 2020 acquisition of one hundred percent (100%) of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

Overview

Wetotal issued and outstanding common stock of Noachis Terra, Inc. (“Noachis Terra”) we are focused on becomingthe development and commercialization of a leadervaccine product candidate to provide long-lasting immunity from SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19. Noachis Terra is a party to a worldwide, nonexclusive intellectual property and biological materials license agreement with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (“NIAID”), an institute within the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”), relating to certain research, patent applications and biological materials involving pre-fusion stabilized coronavirus spike proteins and their use in novel antibiotics against infectious diseasethe development and commercialization of a vaccine to provide specific, long lasting immunity from SARS-CoV-2. Since the acquisition we have conducted testing in animal models, including SARS-CoV-2 challenge studies in hamsters, using specific formulations for intramuscular administration (our Terra CoV-2 vaccine candidate) and intranasal administration (our NT-CoV2-1 vaccine candidate), both based on the NIAID pre-fusion stabilized spike protein antigens. Following consideration of a number of factors, including but not limited to the competitive landscape, we determined to bring the intranasal vaccine candidate NT-CoV2-1, into further development due to the greater differentiation versus current COVID-19 vaccines and the potential benefits of intranasal over intramuscular administration. We believe these benefits could include a higher reduction of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and would offer a needle-free delivery option. We therefore are currently focusing our development efforts on our more highly differentiated NT-CoV2-1 vaccine candidate.

Coronaviruses are a family of viruses that can lead to upper-respiratory infections in humans. Recent clinical reports also suggest that the SARS-CoV-2 virus can affect other body-systems, including the nervous, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and renal systems. Among the recent iterations of coronaviruses to move from animal to human carriers is SARS-CoV-2, which, beginning in Wuhan, China, in late 2019, caused a global pandemic due to its rapid spread and the relatively high mortality rate (as compared to the seasonal influenza). In late April of 2022, the World Health Organization’s estimates indicate the number of worldwide COVID-19 infections have exceeded 505 million and the number of deaths directly attributed to COVID-19 have exceeded 6.2 million. Pfizer/-BioNTech received FDA approval for their COVID-19 vaccines in August of 2021 and the Moderna vaccine in January 2022. The Janssen vaccine is currently available in the United States under Emergency Use Authorizations (“EUA”) by the FDA. We believe given the size of the worldwide pandemic that even with additional vaccines projected to be available in the months ahead, there will be demand for the highly differentiated NT-CoV2-1 vaccine, once development is successfully completed. We intend to combine the research, patent applications and biological materials covered by our NIAID license with our existing clinical research and manufacturing capabilities to respond rapidly to this ongoing, global, public health issue. We believe our NT-CoV2-1 vaccine holds the possibility of playing an important role in addressing this issue.

Coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-2, possess signature protein spikes on their outer capsule. The NIAID license covers patents and data on a vaccine candidate that were created based on a stabilized pre-fusion spike trimeric protein. By stabilizing the spike protein in the pre-fusion state, the number of immunogenic centers is increased thereby allowing for a greater likelihood of successful antibody binding, resulting in an improved immunogenic response. The genetic code, acquired from the NIH, for the stabilized pre-fusion spike protein was provided to Aragen Bioscience, Inc. (“Aragen”) for the purpose of insertion of the spike protein gene sequence into a Chinese Hamster Ovary (“CHO”) cell line. Aragen is a leading contract research organization focused on accelerating pre-clinical biologics product development, has extensive experience building CHO cell lines for recombinant proteins, such as monoclonal antibodies. Aragen has successfully inserted the NIH pre-fusion spike protein gene sequence into a CHO cell line and is currently developing both the analytical tests and identifying preliminary cell line growth conditions to optimize the spike protein titers. Currently, “mini-pool” production and analytical development is underway. The process to transfer to full-scale manufacture has begun.

The NIH’s pre-clinical study shows that this spike protein, adjuvanted with the mouse specific TLR-4-agonist Sigma Adjuvant System (“SAS”, a TLR-4 agonist) that induces T cell activation), generates neutralizing antibody titers in both a pseudovirus neutralization assay and a plaque reduction neutralization titer (PRNT) assay. Recently released information indicated that pretreatment of mice with the NIH-created COVID-19 spike protein in combination with the SAA adjuvant completely inhibited viral growth in the nasal cavities and lungs of infected animals compared to unvaccinated control animals. In October 2020, we received feedback to our Type B Pre-IND Meeting Request from the FDA. The response indicated that the FDA broadly supported our planned approach to the pre-clinical program that would support the clinical development of the Terra CoV-2 vaccine. Due to our current focus on our intranasal vaccine candidate, we have submitted a request to the FDA for a type B Pre-IND Meeting Request to discuss NT-CoV2-1, which is expected to occur by mid-July 2022.

We also entered into a material transfer agreement with Biodextris Inc. for the use of three intranasal mucosal adjuvants in our Terra CoV-2 and NT-CoV2-1 vaccine candidates. BDX100, BDX300 and BDX301 are proteosome-based adjuvants comprised of proteins and lipopolysaccharides with improved attributes including enhanced immune response, manufacturing efficiency and the benefits of intranasal vaccine administration. The agreement allows for the future collaboration regarding the intranasal delivery of vaccine during clinical development with the opportunity to enter into a commercial agreement upon regulatory approval of the intranasal vaccine.

The NT-CoV2-1 vaccine containing Inspirevax’s intranasal mucosal adjuvant BDX301 has been studied in pre-clinical animal studies, including hamster viral challenge studies and mouse immunogenicity studies. A rabbit toxicology study has been initiated and is required for regulatory approval prior to the Phase 1 clinical study. We believe the NT-CoV2-1 vaccine has the potential to lead to a higher reduction of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and offers a needle-free delivery option. This vaccine could also permit cost effective treatments for oral mucositis.storage and distribution at refrigerated temperatures, which should facilitate distribution.

Our Oral Mucositis Product Candidate-Clinical

15

In June of 2015,On July 26, 2021, we entered into a worldwide Exclusive Channel Collaboration Agreement (“Oral Mucositis ECC”)licensing agreement with Intrexon Corporation (“Intrexon”)the NRC that enables us to pursue the rapid development of next-generation vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus and Intrexon Actobiotics NV,its variants. The license was subsequently extended to include the Omicron variant. In addition, we broadened the non-exclusive field of use to include all diseases caused by coronaviruses and any genetic variants thereof. The NRC technologies, in combination with the U.S. NIH elements found in our NT-CoV2-1 vaccine candidates, provide us with a wholly-owned subsidiaryplatform that can generate cell lines for high-yield production of Intrexon, pursuantspike protein antigens for existing and emerging variants of concern. This platform should allow production of cell lines within six to eight weeks of spike gene sequence availability, compared with six to nine months for traditional production of such cell lines. The NRC technologies, developed with support from the NRC’s Pandemic Response Challenge Program, are expected to expedite the evaluation of SARS-CoV-2 antigen candidates in pre-clinical and clinical studies.

We began pre-clinical studies in June of 2021 through our collaboration and material transfer agreement with the NRC. We initiated an immunogenicity study in mice to evaluate several adjuvant candidates. On August 30, 2021, we announced the successful completion of these mouse immunogenicity studies that supported further development using either the intramuscular or intranasal routes of administration. A hamster challenge study was initiated in September of 2021 to assess inhibition of viral replication using adjuvants specific for intramuscular and intranasal administration. In December of 2021, we announced that both formulations generated robust immune responses and reduced the SARS-CoV-2 viral loads to undetectable levels in the nasal passages and lungs five days following a viral challenge. By contrast, hamsters in the control groups that had received saline or adjuvants alone had no detectable immune response and substantial viral loads. The vaccines delivered by intranasal and intramuscular routes generated immune responses as measured by multiple assays.

Through assessment of a variety of factors including evolving variants and available vaccines in use, we have determined to focus our development efforts on the intranasal delivery of our vaccine product candidate, NT-CoV2-1, which is more highly differentiated than the currently available and late-stage COVID-19 vaccines. As a result, we obtained certain exclusive rightsexpect to AG013 asfile an IND application with the FDA upon completion of our pending toxicology study and to thereafter commence a potential treatment of oral mucositis, or OMPhase 1 clinical study with NT-CoV2-1, the protocol for cancer patients, which we intendis currently under development.

We expect to use our currently available cash resources to continue to develop. AG013, is an oral rinsing solution designed to deliver human Trefoil Factor 1 (hTFF1) to protectadvance the development of NT-CoV2-1 through IND-enabling studies, including immunogenicity, viral challenge studies, toxicology studies, and regenerate damaged mucosal lining of the oral cavity.

OM results in a painful inflammation and mucosal ulceration in the lining of the oral cavity, throat and esophagus and is one of the most commonly reported adverse events associated with cancer chemotherapy affecting up to 500,000 patients annually. OM has a negative effect on patient well-being and if severe, negatively affects a patient’s cancer treatment regimen. At present, we are not aware of any drug that is approved to prevent the condition broadly and current therapies are primarily palliative in nature, only addressing symptom relief but not treating the underlying causes of the condition.

In a Phase 1b clinical trial in 25 cancer patients with OM, AG013 was safe and well tolerated. Data published in the journal Cancer showed a 35% reduction of the duration of ulcerative OM in the AG013-treated patients versus the placebo-treated patients. Furthermore, close to 30% of the patients treated with AG013 were full responders while all placebo-treated patients developed ulcerative OM. Additionally, in a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic (PK) study in 10 healthy volunteers, AG013 bacteria adheredtrial with further clinical development being contingent upon the receipt of additional funding, including non-dilutive government grant funding which we continue to the buccal mucosa and actively secrete protein locally, resulting in homogeneous exposure of the entire mucosal surface up to 24 hours after administration of the rinse. During the first quarter of 2016, we conducted a confirmatory animal study on AG013. AG013 has been granted Orphan Drug status in the European Union. In November of 2016, the United States Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) granted Fast Track designation for AG013, and we believe it may be eligible for Biologic License Application exclusivity as well.pursue, or partnering or out-licensing opportunities.

We have developed a Phase 2 protocol for AG013 with the FDA and it has received fast track designation. The study will be a double blind, placebo controlled, evaluation of daily AG013, administered three times a day, oral rinse for the duration of the cancer treatment. The study is expected to enroll between160-180 patients receiving chemoradiation over 7 to 9 weeks. The primary endpoint is a reduction, compared to the placebo, in the number of days of severe oral mucositis. In addition, a number of secondary endpoints will also be evaluated.

In August of 2016, we received feedback from the FDA in response to our Type C meeting and the pursuit of a Phase 2 trial on AG013 for the treatment of oral mucositis in head and neck cancer patients. We filed an Investigational New Drug (“IND”) update in March 2017 and plan to initiate a Phase 2 study with AG013 in the United States and Europe in 2017. We previously announced that the first patient has been dosed in its Phase 2 clinical trial of AG013 for the treatment of oral mucositis (OM). The Phase 2 clinical trial of AG013 is a double-blind, placebo-controlled study that will be conducted at approximately 30 sites across the United States and Europe, and is expected to enroll up to 200 patients. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of administered AG013 compared to placebo for reducing OM in patients undergoing chemo-radiation for the treatment of head and neck cancer, as measured by the duration, time to development, and overall incidence of OM. Presently, the Phase 2 clinical study is enrolling patients in the United States.

Our Antibiotic Product Candidate-PreclinicalCandidate - Oragenics Derived Compound (ODC-x)

Members of our scientific team discovered that a certain bacterial strain of Streptococcus mutans,produces MU1140,Mutacin 1140 (MU1140), a molecule belonging to the novel class of antibiotics known as lantibiotics. Lantibiotics, such as MU1140, are highly modified peptide antibiotics made by a small group of Gram positiveGram-positive bacterial species. ApproximatelyOver 60 lantibiotics have been discovered.discovered, to date. We believe lantibiotics are generally recognized by the scientific community to be potent antibiotic agents.

In nonclinical testing, MU1140 has shown activity against all Gram positiveGram-positive bacteria against which it has been tested, including those responsible for a number of healthcare associated infections, or HAIs. A high percentage of hospital-acquired infections are caused by highly resistantantibiotic-resistant bacteria such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) or multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. We believe the need for novel antibiotics is increasing as a result of the growing resistance of target pathogens to existing FDA approved antibiotics on the market.

Lantibiotics have been difficult to investigate for their clinical usefulness as a therapeutic agentagents in the treatment of infectious diseases due to a general inability to produce or synthesize sufficient quantities of pure amounts of these molecules. Traditional fermentation methods can only produce minute amounts of the lantibiotic.

In June 2012, we entered into the Lantibiotic Exclusive Channel Collaborationa worldwide exclusive channel collaboration agreement (“Lantibiotic ECC”) with Precigen, Inc (formerly known as Intrexon Corporation), ILH Holdings, Inc. (n/k/a Eleszto Genetika, Inc. (“EGI”), for the development and commercialization of the native strain of MU1140 and related homologs using Intrexon’sto use its advanced transgene and cell engineering platforms. ThroughIn September of 2021, we and EGI, mutually terminated the amended and restated worldwide exclusive channel collaboration agreement dated March 1, 2021 (the “Lantibiotic ECC”) pursuant to which we were pursuing the development of OG716 as a lead product candidate for the treatment of C. diff. As a result of the mutual termination of the Lantibiotic ECC, we ceased pre-clinical development of our workproduct candidate OG716 and other compounds covered by the Lantibiotic ECC, all licenses provided pursuant to the Lantibiotic ECC between the parties were terminated and there are no continuing obligations between the parties, except as to confidentiality. We made no payments to EGI in connection with Intrexon, we have been ablethe mutual termination. Each party retained all right and title to produce a significant increase intheir own respective intellectual property. The termination of the fermentation titer of MU1140 comparedLantibiotic ECC was to standard fermentation methods and have discovered a new purification process for MU1140. Our work with Intrexon generated a substantial number of homologs of MU1140, and we areenable us to focus on our continuing ourindependent research and development and collaboration efforts with Intrexonrelative to develop potential derivatives of the MU1140 molecule using genetically modified bacteria.

In ourpre-clinical studies to support a potential IND filing with the FDA, we tested a total of six homologs of MU1140 for certain compound characteristics, including but not limited to: drug activity (based on minimum inhibitory concentration or “MIC”) equal or better than “standard of care” drugs against certain drug-resistant bacteria, safety, toxicity, stability, and manufacturability. The study specifically evaluated homolog efficacy in relation to survival, measurable amounts ofClostridium difficile (“C. diff”) colony forming units, and toxin levels. Three homologs demonstrated promising results with one homolog, OG253 achieving a 100% survival rate throughout the entire study in contrast to an approximately 30% survival rate for the vancomycin positive control.

We selected a lead candidate, OG253, and we had a pre IND meeting with the FDA in November of 2015 regarding the pursuit of an IND on OG253. Following additional research and development on second generation lantibiotics in August of 2016, we optedorder to select a second generation lantibiotic, OG716, for treatment ofC. diffas ouridentify new lead candidate. OG716 is a new, orally-active homolog, that has exhibited positive results in an animal model for potential treatment ofC. diff. Generated from our MU1140 platform, this new lantibiotic showed promising efficacy in reducing clinically relevantC. diff infections as measured by increased animal survival and decreased relapse as well as reduced production ofC. diff spores when comparedcompounds to a vancomycin positive control.pursue.

The timing of the filing of an IND regarding OG716any future lantibiotic candidate is subject to our having sufficient available human, material and financing capital, which includes research subjects, both animal and human, given all of our anticipated needs and expected requirements in connection with our ongoing research and development initiatives. While we were able to raise additional capital during the quarter ended June 30, 2017, we currentlyWe expect the IND for afirst-in-human clinical study of OG716 by year end 2018 as we continue to seek additional capital to advance the program.

Other Product Candidates and Technologies.

In addition to our lantibiotics and oral mucositis product candidates, we also have other candidates and technologies in the oral care and weight loss areas. We do not intend to continue to develop theseadvance our lantibiotics program to an IND filing based on the availability of both human and financial capital. Based upon the current funding we expect to continue to focus on the identification of new potential product lantibiotic candidates, efficient and technologies without partnering withcost-effective improvements in the manufacturing processes and pre-clinical studies required to support a third party. Weout-licensedfirst in human Phase 1 clinical study.

In October 2021, we were awarded a small business innovation research grant in the amount of $250,000 (“Computer-aided Design for Improved Lantibiotics”, R41GM136034) for the Company’s continued research and development of our weight loss product candidate in December 2013 to, LPThera LLC, and LPThera LLC continues to worklantibiotics, including its collaborative program with the Biomolecular Sciences Institute at Florida International University (FIU). The grant provides the Company with funding to develop novel lantibiotics for the treatment of ESKAPE pathogens (defined as Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp.).

Product Candidates.

Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Noachis Terra, we began the research and development stage for our new Terra CoV-2 and NT-CoV2-1 vaccine product candidate. We hold a nonexclusive, worldwide intellectual property license agreement for certain research, patent applications and biological materials relating to the use of pre-fusion coronavirus spike proteins for the development and commercialization of a vaccine against SARS-CoV-2.

Additionally, we are developing semi-synthetic lantibiotic analogs that may be effective against systemic Gram-positive multidrug infections, and analogs that may be effective in treating Gram-negative infections. We seek to protect our product candidates through patents and patent applications pursuant to the terms of our license agreements.

Our Business Development Strategy

Success in the biopharmaceutical and product development industry relies on the continuous development of novel product candidates. The large majority of product candidates do not make it past all clinical trials which forces companies to look externally for commercial use. Our oral careinnovation. Accordingly, we expect from, time to time, to seek strategic opportunities through various forms of business development, which can include strategic alliances, licensing deals, joint ventures, collaborations, equity-or debt-based investments, dispositions, mergers and acquisitions. We view these business development activities as a necessary component of our strategies, and we seek to enhance shareholder value by evaluating business development opportunities both within and complementary to our current business as well as opportunities that may be new and separate from the development of our existing product candidate SMaRT Replacement Therapy is positioned forout-licensing opportunities.

The Preferred Stock Financing –Second Closing

On May 10, 2017February 25, 2022 we entered intoheld our annual meeting of shareholders for 2020 at which time our shareholders approved: (i) the adoption of an amendment to our Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to provide for a securities purchase agreement with three accredited investors, to purchase up to $3.0 millionreduced quorum requirement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock Financing”). The sale of the Preferred Stock took place in two separate closings and at the first closing which occurred on May 10, 2017, we received gross proceeds of approximately $1,302,000. The second closing occurred on July 25, 2017 and we received gross proceeds of approximately $1,698,000, which was the balance of the Preferred Stock Financing. The full $3,000,000 of Preferred Stock is convertible into twelve million shares of our Common Stock, based on a fixed conversion price of $0.25 per share on anas-converted basis. In addition, we issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 4,621,037 shares of Common Stock at the first closing and we issued an aggregate of 6,024,124 shares of Common Stock at the second closing. The Warrants have a term of seven years from the date of issuance arenon-exercisable until 6 months after issuance, and have an exercise price of $0.31 per share.

Proceeds from the Preferred Stock Financing (including the exercise of any warrants for cash) will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

In connection with the Preferred Financing, we filed a Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series A Preferred Stock with the Secretary of State of the State of Florida, to be effective May 10, 2017. The numberone-third (1/3) of shares entitled to vote represented in person or by a proxy, in order to constitute a meeting of Preferred Stock designated as Series A Preferred Stock is 12,000,000.

Financial Overview

Impact of Series A Preferred Stock were converted into Common Stock immediately priorthe Novel Coronavirus.

The current COVID-19 pandemic has presented a substantial public health and economic challenge around the world and is affecting our employees, development partners, communities and business operations, as the U.S. and global economies and financial markets. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information or trends that may emerge concerning COVID-19, the actions taken to contain it or treat its impact, and the impact on local, regional, national and international markets.

Our management has closely monitored the impact of COVID-19 on our business operations. Due to stay-at-home orders in the United States, we have instituted a work-from-home plan for our employees. We have no plans to furlough employees at this time. However, the Company is dependent on its workforce to deliver and advance its research. While expected to be temporary, prolonged workforce disruptions may negatively impact future operations in fiscal year 2022 and the Company’s overall liquidity.

To date, we and our development partners, have been able to conduct ordinary operations at or near normal levels and do not currently anticipate any interruptions for the foreseeable future. However, there could be additional repercussions for our operations, particularly for the initial development of our Nt-CoV2-1 product candidate, including but not limited to, the Liquidation.

About Us

We were incorporatedsourcing of materials for product candidates, manufacture of supplies for preclinical and/or clinical studies, delays in November 1996clinical operations, which may include the availability or the continued availability of patients for trials due to such things as quarantines, conduct of patient monitoring and commencedclinical trial data retrieval at investigational study sites. The continuation of the pandemic could adversely affect our planned clinical trial operations, including our ability to conduct the trials on the expected timelines and recruit and retain patients and principal investigators and site staff who, as healthcare providers, may have heightened exposure to COVID-19 if their geography is impacted by the pandemic. Further, the COVID-19 pandemic could result in 1999. We consummateddelays in our initial public offeringclinical trials due to prioritization of hospital resources toward the pandemic, the broad emergency use authorization of vaccines, restrictions in June 2003. We have devoted substantially alltravel, potential unwillingness of patients to enroll in trials at this time, or the inability of patients to comply with clinical trial protocols if quarantines or travel restrictions impede patient movement or interrupt healthcare services. In addition, we rely on independent clinical investigators, contract research organizations and other third-party service providers to assist us in managing, monitoring and otherwise carrying out our availablepreclinical studies and clinical trials, and the pandemic may affect their ability to devote sufficient time and resources to our discovery efforts comprising research and development, clinical trialsprograms or to travel to sites to perform work for our product candidates, protection of our intellectual property and the general and administrative support of these operations as well as to the commercialization of our previously owned consumer probiotic products. We have generated limited revenues from grants and from our discontinued consumer product business through June 30, 2016, and have principally funded our operations through the sale of debt and equity securities, issued in connection with these financing transactions. Our net revenues were $464,048 and $1,175,841, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. In June of 2016, we completed the sale of our consumer probiotics business to ProBiora Health, LLC and as a result, we will no longer generate revenue from sales of consumer probiotic products.us.

As of September 30, 2017, we had an accumulated deficit of $99,940,064 and we have yet to achieve profitability. We incurred net losses of $5,270,792 and $4,338,507 for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $7,013,304 and $11,711,333 for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We expect to incur significant and increasing operating losses for the foreseeable future as we seek to advance our product candidates through preclinical testing and clinical trials to ultimately obtain regulatory approval and eventual commercialization. We will need to raise additional capital. Adequate additional funding may not be available to us on acceptable terms, or at all. We expect that research and development expenses will increase along with general and administrative costs, as we seek to grow and continue to operate our business. There can be no assurance that additional capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.

Financial Overview

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development consistsconsist of expenses incurred in connection with the discovery and development of our product candidates. These expenses consist primarily of employee-related expenses, which include salaries and benefits and attending science conferences; expenses incurred under our ECClicense agreements with Intrexonthird parties and under other agreements with contract research organizations, investigative sites and consultants that conduct our clinical trials and a substantial portion of our nonclinical studies; the cost of acquiring and manufacturing clinical trial materials; facilities, depreciation and other allocated expenses, which include direct and allocated expenses for rent and maintenance of facilities and equipment, and depreciation of fixed assets; license fees, for and milestone payments related to,in-licensed products and technology; stock-based compensation expense; and costs associated with nonclinical activities and regulatory approvals. We expense research and development costs as incurred.

Our research and development expenses can be divided into (i) clinical research, and (ii) nonclinical research and development activities.activities and (iii) manufacturing process development and analytical testing procedure development. Clinical research costs consist of clinical trials, manufacturing services, regulatory activities and related personnel costs, and other costs such as rent, utilities, depreciation and stock-based compensation and research expenses we incur associated with our ECC agreements with Intrexon.compensation. Nonclinical research and development costs consist of our research activities, nonclinical studies, related personnel costs and laboratory supplies, and other costs such as rent, utilities, depreciation and stock-based compensation and research expenses we incur associated with the development of our ECC agreements with Intrexon.product candidates. While we are currently focused on advancing our product development programs, our future research and development expenses will depend on the clinical success of our product candidates, as well as ongoing assessments of each product candidate’s commercial potential. In addition, we cannot forecast with any degree of certainty which product candidates may be subject to future collaborations, when such arrangements will be secured, if at all, and to what degree such arrangements would affect our development plans, research expenses and capital requirements.

Our research and development expenses were $2,724,3494,738,062 and $2,978,7753,260,904 for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016,2021, respectively.

Our current product development strategy is tocontemplates an expected increase in our research and development expenses in the future as we continue the advancement of our clinical trialproduct development programs for our oral mucositisvaccine and lantibiotic product candidate and nonclinical product development effortscandidates, with greater near-term emphasis on our lantibioticvaccine product candidate. The lengthy process of conductingcompleting pre-clinical studies, clinical trials; seeking regulatory approval for our product candidates; and expanding the potential claims we are able to make, requires expenditure of substantial resources. Any failure or delay in completing pre-clinical studies, clinical trials, or in obtaining regulatory approvals, could cause a delay in generating product revenues and cause our research and development expenses to increase and, in turn, have a material adverse effect on our operations. Our current product candidates are not expected to be commercially available until we are able to obtain regulatory approval from the FDA.FDA or the regulatory authority in other jurisdictions where we may seek approval.

Our plan is to budget and manage expenditures in research and development such that they are undertaken in a cost-effective manner yet still advance the research and development efforts. While we have some control under our Lantibiotic ECCprogram and Oral Mucositis

ECCthe License agreements as to the planning and timing of theour research and development and therefore the timing of when expenditures may be incurred for various phases of agreed upon projects, actual expenditures can vary from period to period. Subject to available capital, we expect overall research and development expenses to increase as a result of the expected initiation of our Phase 2b clinical trial on our oral mucositisvaccine product candidate and as our financial resources permit. Our research and development projects are currently expected to be taken to the point where they can be licensed or partnered with larger pharmaceutical companies.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist principally of salaries and related costs for personnel in executive, finance, and administrative functions. Other general and administrative expenses include facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expenses, patent filing, and professional fees for legal, consulting, auditing and tax services.

We anticipate that our general and administrative expenses will remain relatively flat from period to period as we manage our available capital. Subject to available capital our general and administrative expenses may increase for, among others, the following reasons:

support of our research and development activities, which, we expect to expand as we continue the development of our product candidates;
to support our research and development activities, which, subject to available capital, we expect to expand as we continue the development of our product candidates;
the efforts we undertake from, time to time, to raise additional capital; and
the increased payroll, and stock-based compensation, expanded infrastructure and higher consulting, legal, accounting and investor relations costs associated with being a public company.

Other Income (Expense)

Other income (expense) includes local business taxes, gain on sale of property and equipment, as well as interest income and expense. Interest income consists of interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents, and interest earned on the stock subscription receivable. The primary objective of our investment policy is capital preservation. Interest expense consists primarily of interest and costs associated with our indebtedness.

Future Capital Requirements

Our capital requirements for the remainder of 2017 and thereafter2022 will depend on numerous factors, including the success of our commercialization efforts and of our research and development, the resources we devote to develop and support our technologies and our success in pursuing strategic licensing and funded product development relationships with external partners. Subject to our ability to raise additional capital including through possible joint ventures and/or partnerships, we expect to incur substantial expenditures to further commercialize or develop our technologies including continued increases in costs related to research, nonclinical testing and clinical studies,trials, as well as costs associated with our capital raising efforts and being a public company. We will require substantial additional funds to conduct research and development and nonclinical and Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical testing of our licensed, patented technologies and to develop sublicensing relationships for the Phase 2 and 3 clinical testing and manufacture and marketing of any products that are approved for commercial sale. Our plans include seeking both equity and debt financing, alliances or other partnership agreements with entities interested in our technologies, or other business transactions that would generate sufficient resources to ensure continuation of our operations and research and development programs.

We believe our

Our current available cash and cash equivalents togetherequivalent, provide us with the recently completed second closing of the Preferred Stock financinglimited liquidity. We believe our existing cash and cash will allow us to fund our operating plan as currently structured through December 2017.the fourth quarter of 2022. We expect to continue to seek additional funding for our operations. Any such required additional capital may not be available on reasonable terms, if at all. If we were unable to obtain additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of, delay or eliminate some or all of our planned clinical trial and clinical testing, and, research and development and commercialization activities, which could harm our business. The sale of additional equity or debt securities may result in additional dilution to our shareholders. If we raise additional funds through the issuance of equitydebt securities or debt securities,preferred stock, these securities could have rights senior to those of our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. We also will require additional capital beyond our currently forecasted amounts.

For example, as we continueseek to workmove forward with Intrexon under the Lantibiotic ECC for the development of MU1140 homologsNT-CoV2-1 vaccine candidate and in our Oral Mucositis ECC,other product candidates, we will require additional capital. In addition, we continue to pursue other COVID-19 research and development funding opportunities through governmental and nongovernmental sources, as well as potential research collaboration arrangements with academic institutions and other commercial partners. Our ability to advance the development of our NT-CoV2-1 vaccine candidate at our anticipated pace, in accordance with our License agreements, is dependent upon our ability to secure additional capital resources through these funding opportunities or an alternative capital raise, such as an equity or debt financing or other strategic business collaboration. Moreover, the global impact of COVID-19 could further impact our need for additional capital if we experience delays in our anticipated timelines or achievement milestones.

Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with research, development and commercializationclinical testing of our product candidates, we are unable to estimate the exact amounts of our working capital requirements. Our future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including, but not limited to:

conduct preclinical research for our NT-CoV2-1vaccine product candidate, file an IND with the FDA and, if approved, engage in Phase 1 clinical trials;
identifying and securing clinical sites for the conduct of human trials for our product candidates;
the number and characteristics of the product candidates we pursue;
the scope, progress, results and costs of researching and developing our product candidates, and conducting nonclinical and clinical trials;
the timing of, and the costs involved in, obtaining regulatory approvals for our product candidates;
our ability to maintain current research and development licensing agreements and to establish new strategic partnerships, licensing or other arrangements and the financial terms of such agreements;
our ability to advance our lantibiotic development or achieve milestones under our License agreements and the payment obligations we may have;
the costs involved in preparing, filing, prosecuting, maintaining, defending and enforcing patent claims, including litigation costs and the outcome of such litigation; and
the timing, receipt and amounts of sales of, or royalties on, our products and future products, if any.

We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong. We may need to obtain additional funds sooner or in greater amounts than we currently anticipate. Potential sources of financing include strategic relationships, grants, public or private sales of our shares or debt and other sources. We may seek to access the public or private equity markets when conditions are favorable due to our long-term capital requirements. We do not have any committed sources of financing at this time, and it is uncertain whether additional funding will be available when we need it on terms that will be acceptable to us, or at all. If we raise funds by selling additional shares of common stock or other securities convertible into common stock, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders will be diluted. If we are not able to obtain financing when needed, we may be unable to carry out our business plan. As a result, we may have to significantly limit our operations and our business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially harmed.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with US GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been made could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. The principal areasarea of estimation reflected in the consolidated financial statements are anticipated milestone payments, stock based compensation, valuation of warrants, and income tax valuation allowance.

Inventory obsolescence reserve, sales returns and allowances and allowance for doubtful accounts were the principal areas of estimation that had been reflected in the financial statements related to discontinued operations.is stock-based compensation. For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see our Annual Report on Form10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021 There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017.March 31, 2022.

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued guidance on Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718) Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, to simplify the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. Some of the areas for simplification apply only to nonpublic entities. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. This guidance has not had a material impact on the results of operations, financial position or disclosures.

There are no other accounting pronouncements issued or effective during the three or nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 that have had or are expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Oragenics, Inc. is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule12b-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Management’s evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules13a-15(e) and15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act was performed under the supervision and participation of our senior management, including our ChiefInterim Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The purpose of disclosure controls and procedures is to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our ChiefInterim Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Based upon that evaluation, our ChiefInterim Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of such period, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported with the time periods specified in the Securities and exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Our management, with the participation of our ChiefInterim Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded there were no significant changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our ChiefInterim Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our Disclosure Controls and internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management or board override of the control.

The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are not a party to any pending legal proceeding that is not in the ordinary course of business or otherwise material to our financial condition or business.

ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS

In addition to the other information set forth in this Form10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, subsection “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20162021 which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results of operations. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20162021 are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and future results of operations. The following information updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A, subsection “Risk Factors” to Part I of our Annual Report on Form10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20162021 filed on February 27 2017.March 24, 2022. Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under the caption “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form10-K.

Risks Related to Our Business

We have incurred significant losses since our inception and expect to continue to experience losses for the foreseeable future.

We have incurred significant net losses and negative cash flow in each year since our inception, including net losses of approximately and $5.3$6.0 million and $4.3$5.2 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2022 and 2016,March 31, 2021, respectively, and approximately $7.0$15.7 million and $11.7$26.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2016,2021, and 2015,2020, respectively. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2022, our accumulated deficit was approximately $99.9$177.3 million. We have devoted a significant amount of our financial resources to research and development, including our nonclinical development activities and clinical trials. We expect that the expenses associated with our anticipated clinical trial for our oral mucositis product candidate to increase. We expect the costs associated with our exclusive channel partnerships with Intrexonplans to begin preclinical research, contract manufacturing and file an IND for our NT-CoV2-1 vaccine product candidate and the research and development of our product candidates in the areasarea of lantibiotics (“Lantibiotics Program”) and Oral Mucositis (“Oral Mucositis Program”) and the development and commercialization of our product candidates under the Lantibiotics Program (which includes MU1140 homologs) using Intrexon’s advanced transgene and cell engineering platforms will also continue to increase and as such the level of our overall expenses will increase significantly going forward. Additionally, our License Agreements also requires the payment of certain recurring and performance-based royalties that may negatively impact our financial capabilities. As a result, we expect to continue to incur substantial net losses and negative cash flow for the foreseeable future. These losses and negative cash flows have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our shareholders’ equity and working capital. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with product development and commercialization, we are unable to accurately predict the timing or amount of substantial expenses or when, or if, we will be able to generate the revenue necessary to achieve or maintain profitability.

We will need to raise additional capital in the future to complete the development and commercialization of our product candidates and operate our business.

Developing and commercializing biopharmaceutical products, including conducting nonclinical studies and clinical trials and establishing manufacturing capabilities, and the progress of our efforts to develop and commercialize our product candidates, including our acquisition of a vaccine product candidate is expensive.expensive, and can cause us to use our limited, available capital resources faster than we currently anticipate. We anticipate that our cash resources as of September 30, 2017, together with the recently completed second closing of the Preferred Stock financingMarch 31, 2022, will be sufficient to fund our operations as presently structured through December 2017. However, changes may occur that would consume our existing capital prior to that time, including the scope and progressfourth quarter of our efforts to develop and commercialize our product candidates.2022. Our actual costs may ultimately vary from our current expectations, which could materially impact our use of capital and our forecast of the period of time through which our financial resources will be adequate to support our operations. Our current cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments are not sufficient to fully implement our business strategy and sustain our operations over a longer period of time.operations. Accordingly, we will need to seek additional sources of financing and such additional financing may not be available on favorable terms, if at all. Until we can generate a sufficient amount of product revenue, if ever, we expect to finance future cash needs through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or corporate or government collaboration and licensing arrangements. If we do not succeed in raising additional funds on acceptable terms, we may be unable to complete existing nonclinical and planned clinical trials or obtain approval of our product candidates from the FDA and other regulatory authorities. We expect capital outlays and operating expenditures to increase over the next several years as we expand our infrastructure, and research and development activities. Specifically, we will need to raise additional capital to, among other things:

conduct preclinical research for our NT-CoV-2-1 vaccine product candidate, file an IND with the FDA and, if approved, engage in Phase 1 clinical trials;

24

 

continue to conduct our Phase 2 clinical trial on our AG013 product candidate;

expand our clinical laboratory operations;
engage in GMP and non-GMP manufacturing for our product candidates at the preclinical research and clinical trial stages;
expand our clinical laboratory operations and conduct further research and development on lantibiotics;
fund our clinical validation study activities;
expand our research and development activities; and
finance our capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses.

fund our clinical activities;

expand our research and development activities;

acquire or license products or technologies; and

finance our capital expenditures and general and administrative expenses.

Our present and future funding requirements will depend on many factors, including:

the level of research and development investment required to develop our current and future product candidates;
the current and continued microeconomic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ability, the ability of our third-party contractors and suppliers to meet our development needs, and the ability of government regulators to conduct ordinary business operations in a timely and efficient manner, as well as the pandemic’s broader, macroeconomic impact on the U.S., foreign and global economic markets;
the level of research and development investment budgeted to develop our current and future product candidates through each phase of development;
costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights;
our need or decision to acquire or license complementary technologies or acquire complementary businesses;
changes in test development plans needed to address any difficulties in product candidate selection for commercialization;
competing technological and market developments;
our interaction and relationship with the FDA, or other, regulatory agencies; and
changes in regulatory policies or laws that affect our operations.

costs of filing, prosecuting, defending and enforcing patent claims and other intellectual property rights;

our need or decision to acquire or license complementary technologies or acquire complementary businesses;

changes in test development plans needed to address any difficulties in product candidate selection for commercialization;

competing technological and market developments;

our interaction and relationship with the FDA, or other, regulatory agencies; and

changes in regulatory policies or laws that affect our operations.

Additional capital, if needed, may not be available on satisfactory terms, or at all. Furthermore, if we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to our existing stockholders could result. Any equity securities issued also may provide for rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock. If we raise additional funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities would have rights, preferences and privileges senior to those of holders of our common stock, and the terms of the debt securities issued could impose significant restrictions on our operations. If we raise additional funds through collaborations and licensing arrangements, we might be required to relinquish significant rights to our technologies or our products under development or grant licenses on terms that are not favorable to us, which could lower the economic value of those programs to us. If adequate funds are not available, we may have to scale back our operations or limit our research and development activities, which may cause us to grow at a slower pace, or not at all, and our business could be adversely affected.

In addition, we could be forced to discontinue product development and commercialization of one or more of our product candidates, which could in turn, impact our ability to maintain our existing license agreements.

Our auditor has expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concerncurtail or forego sales and absent additional financing we may be unable to remain a going concern.

In light of our recurring losses, accumulated deficit and negative cash flow as described in our notes to our audited financial statements, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 contains an explanatory paragraph raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary in the event we are unable to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to establish to the satisfaction of our independent registered public accounting firm that the net proceeds from our financingmarketing efforts, will be sufficient to allow for the removal of this going concern qualification, we may need to significantly modify our operational plans for us to continue as a going concern. While we believe we can continue our current level of operations with the cash we have on hand coupled with the recently announced debt and equity financing arrangements through December 2017, we will need to arrange additional financing to remain a going concern.

We recently incurred significant debt and we will need to obtain additional financing to repay such debt.

On May 10, 2017 we issued a $2,400,000 unsecured promissory note to Intrexon Corporation. The note matures in 24 months. We will need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our repayment obligations and there can be no assurance that financing will be available in amounts or on terms commercially acceptable to us, if at all.

Risks Related to Our Common Stock

All of our debt obligations and our Series A preferred stock will have priority over our common stock with respect to payment in the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

On May 10, 2017 we issued a $2,400,000 unsecured promissory note to Intrexon Corporation and issued 5,209,169 shares of Series A preferred stock to three accredited investors. On July 25, 2017 we sold an additional 6,790,831 shares of Series A preferred stock. In any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, our common stock would rank below all debt claims against us and all of our outstanding shares of Series A preferred stock. As a result, holders of our common stock will not be entitled to receive any payment or other distribution of assets upon the liquidation or dissolution until after our obligations to our debt holders and holders of Series A preferred stock have been satisfied.

As our warrant holders exercise their warrants into shares of our Common Stock, our shareholders will be diluted.

On May 10, 2017 we issued Common Stock Purchase Warrants to purchase 4,621,037 shares of common stock and on July 25, 2017 we issued an additional 6,024,124 Common Stock Purchase Warrants in connection with the sale of Series A preferred stock. The exercise of some or all of our Common Stock Purchase Warrants results in issuance of common shares that dilute the ownership interests of existing shareholders. Any sales of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our Common Stock and the potential for such downward pressure on the price of our Common Stock may encourage short selling of our Common Stock.

Under certain circumstances we may be required to settle the value of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants in cash.

If, at any time while the Common Stock Purchase Warrants are outstanding, we enter into a “Change of Control” (as defined in the Common Stock Purchase Warrants), which includes, but is not limited to, a merger or sale of substantially all of our assets, then each holder of outstanding Common Stock Purchase Warrants at any time prior to the consummation of the Change of Control, may elect and require us to purchase the Common Stock Purchase Warrants held by such person immediately prior to the consummation of such Change of Control by making a cash payment in an amount equal to the Black Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of such holder’s Common Stock Purchase Warrants.

If our common stock is delisted for failure to regain compliance with the NYSE MKT’s continued listing standards, it could have negative consequences including reduced trading liquidity, lower share prices, impairment of our ability to raise needed additional capital and other consequences.

The listing of our common stock on the NYSE MKT is contingent on our compliance with the NYSE MKT’s continued listing standards. On May 10, 2015, we were notified by the NYSE MKT that we were no longer in compliance with the NYSE MKT continued listing standards because our last reported stockholders’ equity was below continued listing standards. Specifically, we are not in compliance with Section 1003(a)(iii) (requiring stockholders’ equity of $6.0 million or more if it has reported losses from continuing operations and/or net losses in its five most recent fiscal years). As of December 31, 2015, we had stockholders’ equity of $4.7 million. We were required to submit a plan to the NYSE MKT by June 10, 2016 advising of actions we have taken or will take to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by November 10, 2017. We submitted a plan by the June 10, 2016 deadline and were notified that NYSE Regulation has accepted the Company’s plan to regain compliance with the NYSE MKT exchange’s continued listing standards set forth in Sections 1003(a)(ii) and 1003(a)(iii) of the NYSE MKT Company Guide (the “Company Guide”) by November 10, 2017, subject to periodic review by the NYSE MKT for compliance with the initiatives set forth in the plan. If the Company is not in compliance with the continued listing standards by November 10, 2017, or if it does not make progress consistent with the plan during the plan period, the NYSE Regulation staff may initiate delisting proceedings as appropriate. There can be no assurance that we will be able to timely regain compliance with the NYSE MKT’s continued listing standards or otherwise successfully appeal any determination by the NYSE MKT to delist our common stock for failure to comply with the NYSE MKT’s continued listing standards.forego licensing attractive business opportunities.

If our common stock is delisted from the NYSE MKT, it will trade in theover-the-counter market and there could be negative consequences including reduced trading liquidity of our common stock, lower demand and market price for our common stock, adverse publicity and a reduced interest in the Company from investor and analysts. Such delisting from the NYSE MKT could also greatly impair our ability to raise additional necessary capital, significantly increase the ownership dilution to shareholders caused by our issuing additional equity and impair our ability to attract and retain employees by means of equity compensation. In addition, our board of directors may issue preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges that are senior to those of the holders of our common stock. Debt financings could involve covenants that restrict our operations. These restrictive covenants may include limitations on additional borrowing and specific restrictions on the use of our assets, as well as prohibitions on our ability to create liens or make investments and may, among other things, preclude us from making distributions to shareholders (either by paying dividends or redeeming stock) and taking other actions beneficial to our shareholders. In addition, investors could impose moreone-sided investment terms and conditions on companies that have or are perceived to have limited remaining funds or limited ability to raise additional funds. The lower our cash balance, the more difficult it is likely to be for us to raise additional capital on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
