Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking statements” as defined under U.S. federal securities laws. These statements reflect management’s current knowledge, assumptions, beliefs, estimates, and expectations. These statements also express management’s current views of future performance, results, and trends and may be identified by their use of terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “goal,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “strategy,” “will,” and other similar terms. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to materially differ from those described in the forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Such statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements after this date, unless otherwise required by law.

Risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to materially differ from those described in forward-looking statements include those discussed in our filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) (including those described in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020)~~2021), and Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, ~~2021,~~2022, and:

●

Our potential receipt of sales from investigational rose bengal sodium-based drug products PV-10^® and PH-10^®, and/or any other halogenated xanthene-based drug products (if and when approved); and licensing, milestone, royalty, and/or other payments related to these investigational drug products and/or the Company’s liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, or any sale, lease, conveyance, or other disposition of any intellectual property relating to rose bengal sodium-based and other halogenated xanthene-based investigational drug products and/or drug substances,


	●	Our ability to raise additional capital through the proceeds of private placement transactions, the exercise of existing warrants and outstanding stock options, and/or public offerings of debt or equity securities, ~~and~~

	●	The widespread outbreak of an illness or communicable/infectious disease, such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2,, or a public health crisis, could disrupt our business and adversely affect our operations and financial condition, and
.
	●	Many companies across a variety of sectors have reported and continue to report disruptions, shortages, and other supply chain-related issues. In the biopharmaceutical sector, delays and interruptions in the supply chain have been particularly pronounced. During this second quarter of 2022, we were able to effectively manage our supply of prescription drug candidates in a manner that avoided any significant interruptions to our clinical programs.

1. Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Provectus” or ~~the “Company”~~“the Company”), is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing immunotherapy medicines for different diseases ~~with the aim of maximizing the curative impact of these medicines and achieving immunity from treated disease. These investigational drugs are~~ based on ~~an entire, wholly owned, family~~a class of small molecules called halogenated xanthenes (“HXs”). , a class entirely owned by the Company.

Our lead HX molecule is named rose bengal ~~disodium~~sodium (“~~RBD”~~RBS”). The Company has established a multi-step approach using quality-by-design principles for synthesizing and manufacturing pharmaceutical-grade RBS by current good manufacturing practice (“cGMP”) and under the guidelines of The International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use. A second HX molecule has been synthesized, 4,5,6,7-tetrabromo-3′,6′-dihydroxy-2′,4′,5′,7′-tetraiodo-3H-spiro[isobenz- ofuran-1,9′-xanthen]-3-one.

	●	Oncology: PV-10^®, an investigational cancer immunotherapy administered by intralesional (“IL”) injection and an injectable formulation of cGMP ~~RBD,~~RBS, is undergoing clinical study for adult solid tumor cancers, such as melanoma and gastrointestinal (“GI”) tumors (including hepatocellular carcinoma (“HCC”), colorectal cancer metastatic to the liver (“mCRC”), neuroendocrine tumors (“NET”) metastatic to the liver (“mNET”), and uveal melanoma metastatic to the liver (“mUM”), among others). Orphan drug designation (“ODD”) status was granted to PV-10 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for metastatic melanoma in 2006, HCC in 2011, and ocular melanoma (including uveal melanoma) in 2019.cancers. Oral formulations of cGMP ~~RBD~~RBS are also undergoing preclinical study as prophylactic and therapeutic treatments for high-risk and refractory adult solid tumor ~~cancers, such as head and neck, breast, colorectal, and testicular~~ cancers.

	●	Pediatric Oncology: IL PV-10 is ~~also~~ undergoing preclinical study for pediatric solid tumor ~~cancers (including neuroblastoma, Ewing sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and osteosarcoma). ODD status was granted to PV-10 by the FDA for neuroblastoma in 2018.~~cancers.

	●	Hematology: Oral formulations of cGMP ~~RBD~~RBS are undergoing preclinical study for refractory and relapsed pediatric blood cancers (including leukemias).

	●	Virology: ~~Systemically administered~~Systemic administration of formulations of cGMP ~~RBD~~RBS are undergoing preclinical study for the novel strain of coronavirus (“CoV”): severe acute respiratory syndrome (“SARS”) CoV 2 (“SARS-CoV-2”).

	●	Microbiology: Different formulations of cGMP ~~RBD~~RBS are undergoing preclinical study as potential treatments for multi-drug resistant (“MDR”) ~~bacteria, such as gram-positive and gram-negative.~~bacteria.

	●	Ophthalmology: Topical formulations of cGMP ~~RBD~~RBS are undergoing preclinical study as potential treatments for diseases and disorders of the ~~eye, such as infectious keratitis.~~eye.

	●	Dermatology: PH-10^®, an investigational ~~immuno-dermatology~~immune-dermatology agent administered as a topical ~~gel and~~ formulation of cGMP ~~RBD,~~RBS, is undergoing monotherapy clinical study ~~and~~as well as preclinical study ofas a monotherapy and in combination therapy with approved drugs for inflammatory ~~dermatoses (including psoriasis and atopic dermatitis).~~dermatoses.

	●	Animal Health: Different formulations of cGMP ~~RBD~~RBS are undergoing development as potential treatments for animal cancers and dermatological disorders.

To date, the Company has not generated any revenues or profits from planned principal operations. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to successfully develop and license or commercialize the Company’s prescription drug candidates.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 filed with the SEC on March ~~2, 2021.~~29, 2022. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, ~~2021~~2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2021.~~2022.

SARS-CoV-2 was ~~reportedly~~ first identified in late-2019 and subsequently declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. As a result of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, many companies have experienced disruptions of their operations and the markets they serve. The Company has taken several temporary precautionary measures intended to help ensure the well-being of its employees and contractors and to minimize business disruption. The Company considered the impact of SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on its business and operational assumptions and estimates, and determined there were no material adverse impacts on the Company’s results of operations and financial position at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

The full extent of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic impacts on the Company’s operations and financial condition is uncertain. The Company has experienced slower than normal enrollment and treatment of patients, and a prolonged SARS-CoV-2 pandemic could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial results, including the timing and ability of the Company to raise capital, initiate and/or complete current and/or future preclinical studies and/or clinical ~~trials;~~trials, disrupt the Company’s regulatory ~~activities;~~activities, and/or have other adverse effects on the Company’s clinical development.

2. Liquidity and Going Concern

The Company’s cash, ~~and~~ cash equivalents, and restricted cash were $~~47,407~~ 2,032,609at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022 which includes $1,948,335 of restricted cash resulting from a grant received from the State of Tennessee. The Company’s working capital deficiency was $6,215,548 and $4,258,679 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company continues to incur significant operating losses. Management expects that significant on-going operating expenditures will be necessary to successfully implement the Company’s business plan and develop and market its products. These circumstances raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Implementation of the Company’s plans and its ability to continue as a going concern will depend upon the Company’s ability to develop PV-10, PH-10, and/or any other halogenated xanthene-based drug products, and to raise additional capital.

The Company plans to access capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, including the 2021 financing (see Note 5), exchange offers, debt financings, corporate collaborations, or other means. In addition, the Company continues to explore opportunities to strategically monetize its lead drug candidates, PV-10 and PH-10, through potential co-development and licensing transactions, although there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful with such plans. The Company has historically been able to raise capital through equity offerings, although no assurance can be provided that it will continue to be successful in the future. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient capital, it will not be able to pay its obligations as they become due.

~~During the six months ended June 30, 2021, warrant holders exercised warrants to purchase an aggregate of~~ ~~4,700,000~~ ~~shares of common stock at a price of $0.0533~~ ~~per share. In connection with these exercises, the Company received aggregate cash proceeds of $250,510~~.

~~On June 20, 2021, the outstanding non-amended 2017 Notes converted into~~ ~~12,373,247~~ ~~shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock at the Original Conversion Price of $0.2862, and all the outstanding Amended 2017 Notes and outstanding 2020 Notes converted into~~ ~~9,440,594~~ ~~shares of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock at the New Conversion Price of $2.862. The outstanding non-amended 2017 Notes, Amended 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes had totaled $30,560,080~~ ~~in principal and interest.~~

The primary business objective of management is to build the Company into a commercial-stage biotechnology company; however, the Company cannot assure that it will be successful in co-developing, licensing, and/or commercializing PV-10, PH-10, and/or any other halogenated xanthene-based drug candidate developed by the Company or entering into any financial transaction. Moreover, even if the Company is successful in improving its current cash flow position, the Company nonetheless plans to seek additional funds to meet its long-term requirements in ~~2021~~2022 and beyond. The Company anticipates that these funds will otherwise come from the proceeds of private placement transactions, the exercise of existing warrants and outstanding stock options, or public offerings of debt or equity securities. While the Company believes that it has a reasonable basis for its expectation that it will be able to raise additional funds, the Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to complete additional financing in a timely manner. In addition, any such financing may result in significant dilution to stockholders.

3. ~~Critical~~Significant Accounting Policies

Since the date the Company’s December 31, ~~2020~~2021 consolidated financial statements were issued in its ~~2020~~2021 Annual Report, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies, except as disclosed below.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In ~~December 2019,~~October 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ~~ASU 2019-12,~~ ~~Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.~~ ~~The amendments in ASU 2019-12 simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in~~ Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-10 “Codification ~~(“ASC”) Topic 740,~~ ~~Income Taxes~~Improvements”~~. The amendments also improve consistent~~, which improves consistency by amending the Codification to include all disclosure guidance in the appropriate disclosure sections and clarifies application of various provisions in the Codification by amending and ~~simplify GAAP for~~adding new headings, cross referencing to other ~~areas of Topic 740 by clarifying~~guidance, and ~~amending existing guidance. ASU 2019-12 will be~~refining or correcting terminology. The guidance is effective for the ~~Company’s~~Company beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022 with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2022 and it did not have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

On May 3, 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options. This new standard provides clarification and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (such as warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, ~~2020, with early~~2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Issuers should apply the new standard prospectively to modifications or exchanges occurring after the effective date of the new standard. Early adoption ~~permitted. An entity that~~is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an issuer elects to early adopt the ~~amendments~~new standard in an interim period, the guidance should ~~reflect any adjustments~~be applied as of the beginning of the ~~annual period~~fiscal year that includes that interim period. ~~Additionally, an entity that elects early adoption must adopt all the amendments in the same period.~~ The Company adopted ~~ASU 2019-12~~this standard on January 1, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~there was no~~it did not have a material ~~impact~~effect on ~~the Company’s~~its condensed consolidated financial ~~statements or disclosures.~~statements.

~~Convertible Instruments~~Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company ~~evaluates its convertible~~considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s cash equivalents consist of Treasury bills of $0 and $42,594, respectively.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists of a grant award of $2,500,000 received in cash from the State of Tennessee less expenses and deposits to vendors in the amount of $551,665. See Note 10. Grants.

Cash Concentrations

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash are maintained at financial institutions and, at times, balances may exceed federally insured limits of $250,000, although the Company seeks to minimize this through treasury management. The Company has never experienced any losses related to these balances although no assurance can be provided that it will not experience any losses in the future. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances in excess of FDIC insurance limits of $1,782,609 and $2,856,942, respectively.

Reclassifications

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported results of operations or loss per share.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share

Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other instruments to ~~determine if those contracts~~issue common stock were exercised or ~~embedded components~~converted into common stock. The following securities are excluded from the calculation of ~~those contracts qualify as derivative financial instruments to be separately accounted for in accordance with ASC Topic 815:~~ ~~Derivatives and Hedging~~~~. The accounting treatment~~weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Schedule of ~~derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record embedded conversion options and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as~~Securities Excluded from Calculation of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification. Embedded conversion options and any related freestanding instruments are recorded as a discount to the host instrument.Weighted Average Dilutive Common Shares

If the instrument is determined to not be a derivative liability, the Company then evaluates for the existence of a beneficial conversion feature by comparing the commitment date fair value to the effective conversion price of the instrument.

~~Preferred Stock~~

The Company applies the accounting standards for distinguishing liabilities from equity when determining the classification and measurement of its preferred stock. Preferred shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as liability instruments and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable preferred shares (including preferred shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, preferred shares are classified as stockholders’ deficiency.

On March 23, 2017, the Company entered into a 2017 Term Sheet with the PRH Group that set forth the terms on which the PRH Group would use their best efforts to arrange for a financing of a minimum of $~~10,000,000~~ ~~and maximum of $20,000,000~~ (the “2017 Financing”). The 2017 Financing was in the form of a secured convertible loan from the PRH Group and other investors in the 2017 Financing, which were evidenced by secured convertible promissory notes (individually a “2017 Note” and collectively, the “2017 Notes”) from the Company to the PRH Group and other investors. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had received aggregate proceeds of $~~20,067,000~~ ~~from the issuance of the 2017 Notes, respectively, of which $6,770,000~~ ~~was received from related parties.~~
~~2020 Financing~~
On December 31, 2019, the Board approved a Definitive Financing Term Sheet (the “2020 Term Sheet”), which sets forth the terms under which the Company will use its best efforts to arrange for financing of a maximum of $~~20,000,000~~ (the “2020 Financing”). The 2020 Financing was in the form of secured convertible loans from investors that were evidenced by secured convertible promissory notes (the “2020 Notes”). The 2020 Term Sheet was similar to the 2017 Term Sheet. Subject to the terms and conditions of the 2020 Term Sheet, the Company used its best efforts to arrange for the 2020 Financing, which amounts were obtained in several tranches. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had received proceeds of $~~5,025,000~~ ~~and $3,325,000, respectively,in connection with the 2020 Financing, of which $100,000~~ ~~was received from related parties.~~
~~Firm Commitment~~
Previously, the Company had not designated the Series D Preferred Stock into which the 2017 Notes and the 2020 Notes (collectively the “Notes”) were convertible into. As a result, the Company did not analyze the Notes for a potential beneficial conversion feature as the definition of a firm commitment had not been met since the Notes were not yet convertible. On June 17, 2021, the required Certificates of Designation were filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. Accordingly, a firm commitment was achieved. The Company analyzed the Notes for a beneficial conversion feature and determined that there was none because the Notes have an effective conversion price of $~~0.2862~~ ~~and $2.862~~ ~~per share of underlying common stock, which exceeds the $0.07~~ ~~per share commitment date closing market price of the common stock.~~
~~The Series D and D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock~~
~~The 2017 Notes originally provided that they were convertible into a new class of the Company’s preferred stock, $0.001~~ ~~par value per share (“Preferred Stock”), at a price per share equal to $0.2862~~ ~~(the “Original Conversion Price”), which would be convertible into one share (the “Original Conversion Ratio”) of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”).~~
In order to ensure that the Company had sufficient authorized shares of Preferred Stock into which the 2017 Notes would convert, yet keep the economic terms of the 2017 Notes substantially equivalent, the Company entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) to the 2017 Notes (as amended, the “Amended 2017 Notes”) with a large majority of the holders of 2017 Notes to increase the conversion price by 10 times from $~~0.2862~~ ~~to $2.862~~ (the “New Conversion Price”) and to change the conversion ratio by providing that one share of Preferred Stock would be convertible into 10 shares of Common Stock (the “New Conversion Ratio”). The impact of the Amendments was to reduce by 10 times the number of shares of Preferred Stock into which the 2017 Notes would convert, while keeping the economic terms the same by increasing the conversion ratio into Common Stock by 10 times. The 2020 Notes had substantially similar terms to the Amended 2017 Notes, including being convertible into Preferred Stock at the New Conversion Price, with the Preferred Stock being convertible into Common Stock at the New Conversion Ratio.
In order to (i) address the fact that a small minority of the holders of 2017 Notes did not execute the Amendments and (ii) ensure economic fairness for all of the holders of the 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes, the Company designated two separate classes of Preferred Stock into which the 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes would convert: (i) the Company’s Series D Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $~~0.001~~ per share (the “Series D Convertible Preferred Stock”), was designated for the holders of 2017 Notes who did not execute the Amendments and (ii) the Company’s Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $~~0.001~~ ~~per share (the “Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock”), was designated for the holders of Amended 2017 Notes (i.e., who did execute the Amendments) and the holders of the 2020 Notes.~~
~~On June 20, 2021, the outstanding non-amended 2017 Notes converted into~~ ~~12,373,247~~ ~~shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock at the Original Conversion Price of $0.2862, and all the outstanding Amended 2017 Notes and outstanding 2020 Notes converted into~~ ~~9,440,594~~ ~~shares of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock at the New Conversion Price of $2.862~~.
~~As a result of the conversion of the 2017 Notes and 2020 Notes into convertible preferred stock, all the security interests of these notes in the Company’s intellectual property were released.~~
The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock are set forth in a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Certificate of Designation”). The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock are set forth in a Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D-1 Certificate of Designation”). The Board of Directors of the Company approved each of the Series D Certificate of Designation and Series D-1 Certificate of Designation on June 16, 2021, and each of the Series D Certificate of Designation and Series D-1 Certificate of Designation were filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on June 17, 2021. The Series D Certificate of Designation and Series D-1 Certificate of Designation are the same, other than certain key differences to account solely for the different conversion ratios for the holders of 2017 Notes who did not execute Amendments compared to the holders of Amended 2017 Notes and the holders of 2020 Notes.
~~Number of Shares~~
~~The Series D Certificate of Designation established and designated~~ ~~12,374,000~~ ~~shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock. The Series D-1 Certificate of Designation established and designated~~ ~~9,441,000~~ ~~shares of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.~~
~~Rank~~

~~Dividends~~
~~The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock do not have any dividend preference but are entitled to receive, on a~~ ~~pari passu~~ basis, dividends, if any, that are declared and paid on the Common Stock and any other class of the Company’s capital stock that ranks junior or on par to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.
~~Liquidation Preference~~
Upon the occurrence of the liquidation, winding-up or dissolution of the Company or certain mergers, corporate reorganizations or sales of the Company’s assets (each, a “Company Event”), holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a liquidation preference before any distributions are made to holders of any other class or series of the Company’s capital stock junior to the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock. If a Company Event occurs within two years of June 20, 2021 (the “Date of Issuance”), the holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock will receive for each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively, an amount in cash equal to the Original Issue Price (as defined in the Series D Certificate of Designation and Series D-1 Certificate of Designation, respectively) multiplied by four. If a Company Event occurs from and after the second anniversary of the Date of Issuance, the holders of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock will receive for each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, respectively, an amount in cash equal to the Original Issue Price multiplied by six. The Original Issue Price for the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is $~~0.2862, and the Original Issue Price for the Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock is $2.862~~.
~~Voting Rights~~
��
Holders of shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock will vote together with the holders of Common Stock as a single class. Each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock carries the right to one vote per share. Each share of Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock carries the right to 10 votes per share.
The Company is not permitted to amend, alter or repeal its Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws in a manner adverse to the relative rights, preferences, qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock without the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by holders of outstanding shares of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class with each share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock having a number of votes equal to the number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon conversion of such share of Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock.
~~Conversion~~
The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders thereof into shares of Common Stock based on a one-for-one conversion ratio. The Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holders thereof into shares of Common Stock based on a one-for-10 conversion ratio. The conversion ratio of the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock is subject to adjustment for stock splits and combinations, recapitalizations, reclassifications, reorganizations, mergers and consolidations. The Series D Convertible Preferred Stock and Series D-1 Convertible Preferred Stock will automatically convert into shares of Common Stock upon the fifth anniversary of the Date of Issuance.

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

The following discussion is intended to assist in the understanding and assessment of significant changes and trends related to our results of operations and our financial condition together with our consolidated subsidiaries. This discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020~~2021 filed with the SEC on March 2, 29, 2022 (“2021 ~~(“2020~~ Form 10-K”), which includes additional information about our critical accounting policies and practices and risk factors. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the consolidated statement of operations, including trends which might appear, are not necessarily indicative of future operations.

~~Overview~~Components of Operating Results
Provectus is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing immunotherapy medicines based on an entire, wholly owned, family of small molecules called HXs. The Company’s lead HX molecule is proprietary cGMP RBD. IL PV-10, a cancer immunotherapy and injectable formulation of cGMP RBD, can induce immunogenic cell death (“ICD”), and is undergoing clinical study for adult solid tumor cancers, such as melanoma and GI tumors (e.g., HCC, mCRC, mNET, mUM), and preclinical study for pediatric solid tumor cancers (e.g., neuroblastoma, Ewing sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, osteosarcoma). Topically administered PH-10, an immune-modulatory agent and formulation of cGMP RBD, is undergoing clinical study for inflammatory dermatoses (e.g., psoriasis, atopic dermatitis). New formulations of and routes of administration for cGMP RBD are being investigated for hematology (e.g., acute myeloid leukemia, acute monocytic leukemia), virology (e.g., SARS-CoV-2), oncology (e.g., high-risk and refractory adult solid tumor cancers), microbiology (e.g., MDR bacteria), and ophthalmology (e.g., infectious keratitis).
The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has already caused significant disruptions in the financial markets, and may continue to cause such disruptions, which could impact our ability to raise additional funds and may also impact the volatility of our stock price and trading in our stock. Moreover, the pandemic has also significantly impacted economies worldwide, which could result in adverse effects on our business and operations. We cannot be certain what the overall impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic will be on our business. It has the potential to adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. We have taken several temporary precautionary measures intended to help ensure the well-being of our employees and contractors and to minimize disruption to our business. We considered the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on our business and operational assumptions and estimates, and determined there were no material adverse impacts on our results of operations and financial position at June 30, 2021.
~~Our Science and Technology~~
~~Oncology.~~ IL PV-10 drug product is Provectus’ cGMP injectable formulation of the Company’s pharmaceutical-grade (cGMP) RBD (4,5,6,7-tetrachloro-2’,4’,5’,7’-tetraiodofluorescein disodium salt) drug substance. RBD selectively accumulates in the lysosomes of cancer cells. Cancer cells, particularly advanced cancer cells, are very dependent on effective lysosomal functioning (Piao et al., ~~Ann N Y Acad Sci~~ ~~2016). Cancer progression and metastasis are associated with lysosomal compartment changes (Nishimura et al.,~~ ~~Pathol Oncol Res~~ ~~1998; Gocheva et al.,~~ ~~Genes Dev~~ ~~2006), which are closely correlated with, among other things, invasive growth, angiogenesis, and drug resistance (Fahrenbacher et al.,~~ ~~Cancer Res~~ ~~2005).~~
Lysosomes are the central organelles for intracellular degradation of biological macromolecules and organelles. Discovered by Christian de Duve, M.D. in 1955, lysosomes have been linked with a number of biological processes like cell death, inflammasome activation, and immune response. In 1959, Dr. de Duve described lysosomes as “suicide bags,” because their rupture led to cell death and tissue autolysis. Lysosomes have been shown to play a role in each of the primary pathways of cell death, which are apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1974 for discovering and characterizing lysosomes.

Provectus showed that RBD selectively accumulates in the lysosomes of cancer cells and disrupts them, causing the cancer cells to die. RBD has also been shown by Provectus and independent researchers to trigger each major, distinct form of lysosomal cell death; that is, apoptosis, autophagy, and necrosis.
~~RBD’s lysosomal targeting comprises:~~
● Transiting the plasmalemma (i.e., the cell membrane) of cancer cells. RBD penetrates the cell membrane of cancerous cells which normally protects the cancer cell from its surrounding environment. RBD, however, is excluded from normal cells;
● ~~Accumulating in the lysosomes of cancer cells. As noted above, the physicochemical properties of lysosomes trap RBD;~~
● Triggering the release of lysosomal contents. Acute autolysis can occur within 60 minutes. Early preclinical work by Provectus on RBD’s lysosomal targeting showed identical responses in different disease models, such as Hepa1-6 murine hepatocellular carcinoma, HTB-133 human breast carcinoma, and H96Ar human multi-drug resistant small cell lung carcinoma;
● ~~Inducing the rapid cell death of cancer cells. Early trypan blue exclusion work by Provectus confirmed cell death within hours; and,~~
● Intracellular pH consistency with the release of acidic lysosomal contents. Early seminaphthorhodafluor-1 (“SNARF-1”) staining work by Provectus confirmed lower intracellular pH upon exposure to RBD.
~~Hematology.~~ In primary cells and cell lines derived from pediatric leukemia patients, RBD may lead to stimulator of interferon genes (“STING”) dimerization and the release of interferon gamma, indicating a potential immune activation mechanism of RBD. Heat shock proteins, which chaperone misfolded or abnormally folded proteins, associated with STING dimerization in RBD-treated cells, indicating a mechanism that may lead to enhanced STING activation following RBD-specific treatment.

Clinical work has shown that more than 500 disease-related genes were down-regulated after four weeks of application and a wide-range of central psoriasis-related genes, including IL-23, IL-17, IL-22, S100A7, IL-19, IL-36, and CXCL1, were normalized (i.e., treated lesional skin had values in the same range as baseline non-lesional skin).

Grant Revenue
~~Our Drug Development Strategy~~
~~Oncology.~~ ~~The Company’s strategy~~Grant income is ~~to (i) demonstrate the independent action of single-agent IL PV-10; that is, safety~~recognized when qualifying costs are incurred and activity in T cell and non-T cell inflamed tumor types, in high and low tumor mutation burden tumor types, and in other tumor type categories, such as gene mutations, (ii) demonstrate the coordinated induction of multiple immune signaling pathways (i.e., functional ICD), (Snyder et al., ~~Sci Immunol~~ 2019) by IL PV-10 treatment, (iii) demonstrate the functional T cell response generated by IL PV-10 treatment, and (iv) contrast and compare IL PV-10 treatment (i.e., safety, activity, and induced immune response) with that of immune checkpoint blockade (“CB”) and other drug classes in single-agent and IL PV-10-based combination therapy settings.
~~This strategy may quicken the advancement of single-agent IL PV-10 along a pathway-to-approval in solid tumor cancer indications where~~ there is high unmet need, limited activity from other therapies, and the opportunity to display the immune response from IL PV-10 treatment, such as mNET (NCT02693067). This strategy may also permit the Company to develop and advance a cancer combination therapy involving one or more CB and/or other drug classes along a pathway-to-approval in a disease indication where there is high unmet need, limited activity from standard of care (“SOC”) treatment, and the opportunity to display how IL PV-10 augments clinical response to existing or emerging SOCs, such as mUM (i.e., combination therapy with an anti-CTLA-4 agent and an anti-PD-1 agent) (NCT00986661).
~~Hematology.~~ ~~The Company and research collaborators are undertaking preclinical work on a potential, systemically administered, cGMP RBD leukemia treatment and/or cancer vaccine for pediatric patients.~~

~~Ophthalmology.~~ ~~The Company and clinical and research collaborators are undertaking preclinical work on potential, topically administered, cGMP RBD therapy for the treatment of infectious keratitis.~~
~~Dermatology.~~ ~~The Company’s strategy is to (i) demonstrate 12-week single-agent administration proof-of-concept (“POC”) for topical PH-10~~reasonable assurance that includes (a) a preclinical safety study of extended 12-week administration (compared to, previously, four weeks), (b) a clinical mechanism of action study in atopic dermatitis, which would be a “book-end” trial to the already completed clinical mechanism study in psoriasis, (c) Phase 2 randomized controlled trials of topical PH-10 for the treatment of psoriasis and atopic dermatitis that may potentially utilize SOC comparators, and (d) end-of-Phase 2 meetings with the FDA upon the completionconditions of the ~~abovementioned Phase 2 trials,~~grant have been met. Cash received from grants in advance of incurring qualifying costs is recorded as unearned grant revenue and (ii) expand POC topical PH-10 treatment to include dermatology combination therapy. Our goal for this POC work is to achieve Phase 3 trial-ready status for topical PH-10 in both psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

Research and Development Expenses

A large component of our total operating expenses is the Company’s investment in research and development activities, including the clinical development of our product candidates. Research and development expenses represent costs incurred to conduct research and undertake clinical trials to develop our drug product candidates. These expenses consist primarily of:

● Costs of conducting clinical trials, including amounts paid to clinical centers, clinical research organizations and consultants, among others;
● Salaries and related expenses for personnel, including stock-based compensation expense;
● Other outside service costs including cost of contract manufacturing;
● The costs of supplies and reagents; and,
● Occupancy and depreciation charges.
We expense research and development costs as incurred.

Research and development activities are central to our business model. We expect our research and development expenses to increase in the future as we advance our existing product candidates through clinical trials and pursue their regulatory approval. Undertaking clinical development and pursuing regulatory approval are both costly and time-consuming activities. As a result of known and unknown uncertainties, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our research and development activities, or if, when, and to what extent we will generate revenue from any subsequent commercialization and sale of our drug product candidates.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expense consists primarily of salaries, stock-based compensation expense and other related costs for personnel in executive, finance, accounting, business development, legal, information technology and corporate communication functions. Other costs include facility costs not otherwise included in research and development expense, insurance, and professional fees for legal, patent and accounting services.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

~~Our~~The Company’s cash, ~~and~~ cash equivalents, and restricted cash were ~~$47,407~~$2,032,609 at June 30, ~~2021,~~2022 which includes the $1,948,335 of restricted cash resulting from a grant received from the State of Tennessee, compared to ~~$97,231~~$3,106,942 at December 31, ~~2020.~~2021, which included $2,423,958 of restricted cash. The Company’s working capital deficiency was $6,215,548 and $4,258,679 as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared on a basis that contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. We have continuing net losses and negative cash flows from operating activities. In addition, we have an accumulated deficit of ~~$243,743,959~~$248,142,721 as of June 30, ~~2021.~~2022. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern for a period within one year from the date that the financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are issued. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments to the amounts and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern. Our ability to continue as a going concern depends on our ability to obtain additional financing as may be required to fund current operations.

~~During the six months ended~~As of June 30, ~~2021, the Company entered into additional non-related party 2020 Notes~~2022, cash required for our current liabilities included approximately $4,350,917 for accounts payable and accrued expenses (including lease liability) and a $142,693 note payable related to our short-term financing of our commercial insurance policies. Also, if not converted prior to maturity, convertible debt in the ~~aggregate principal~~ amount of ~~$1,700,000.~~
~~During~~$2,010,000 plus accrued interest will mature one year from the ~~six months ended~~date of the notes. Cash requirements for long-term liabilities were $96,201 at June 30, ~~2021, warrant holders exercised warrants~~2022. The Company intends to ~~purchase an aggregate of 4,700,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.0533 per share.

Management’s plans include selling our equity securities and obtaining other financing, including the 2021 financing, to fund our capital requirements and on-going operations; however, there can be no assurance we will be successful in these efforts. The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern. Significant funds will be needed to continue and complete our ongoing and planned clinical trials.

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has already caused significant disruptions in the financial markets, and may continue to cause such disruptions, which could impact our ability to raise additional funds and may also impact the volatility of our stock price and trading in our stock. Moreover, the pandemic has also significantly impacted economies worldwide, which could result in adverse effects on our business and operations. We cannot be certain what the overall impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic will be on our business. It has the potential to adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects. The Company has experienced slower than normal enrollment and treatment of patients, and a prolonged SARS-CoV-2 pandemic could have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial results, including the timing and ability of the Company to raise capital, initiate and/or complete current and/or future preclinical studies and/or clinical trials; disrupt the Company’s regulatory activities; and/or have other adverse effects on the Company’s clinical development. We have taken several temporary precautionary measures intended to help ensure the well-being of our employees and contractors and to minimize disruption to our business. We considered the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on our business and operational assumptions and estimates, and determined there were no material adverse impacts on our results of operations and financial position at June 30, ~~2021.~~2022.

Access to Capital

Management plans to access capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, including the 2021 financing, equity financings, debt financings, corporate collaborations, or other means. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital, we will not be able to pay our obligations as they become due.

The primary business objective of management is to build the Company into a commercial-stage biotechnology company; however, we cannot assure you that management will be successful in implementing the Company’s business plan of developing, licensing, and/or commercializing our prescription drug product candidates. Moreover, even if we are successful in improving our current cash flow position, we nonetheless plan to seek additional funds to meet our current and long-term requirements in ~~2021~~2022 and beyond. We anticipate that these funds will otherwise come from the proceeds of private placement transactions, the exercise of existing warrants and outstanding stock options, or public offerings of debt or equity securities. While we believe that we have a reasonable basis for our expectation that we will be able to raise additional funds, we cannot assure you that we will be able to complete additional financing in a timely manner. In addition, any such financing may result in significant dilution to stockholders.

Critical Accounting ~~Policies~~Estimates

~~For~~The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures must be in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the periods presented. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon which it relies are reasonably based upon information available to us at the time that it makes these estimates and judgments. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial results will be affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates and judgments and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are described below.
The following is not intended to be a ~~description~~comprehensive list of all of our ~~critical~~ accounting policies ~~see~~or estimates. Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 3 ~~– Critical~~–Significant Accounting Policies in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Stock-Based Compensation
We measure the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the date of grant. The fair value amount of the shares expected to ultimately vest is then recognized over the period for which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The estimation of stock-based awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from original estimates, such amounts are recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period that the estimates are revised. We account for forfeitures as they occur.
Research and Development
Research and development expenses consist of expenses incurred in performing research and development activities, including compensation and benefits for research and development employees and consultants, facilities expenses, overhead expenses, cost of laboratory supplies, manufacturing expenses, fees paid to third parties and other outside expenses. We accrue for costs incurred as the services are being provided by monitoring the status of the clinical trial or project and the invoices received from our external service providers. We adjust our accrual as actual costs become known.
Recently ~~Issued~~Adopted Accounting Standards

Recently ~~issued~~adopted accounting standards are included in Note 3 – ~~Critical~~Significant Accounting Policies in Part 1, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements, financings, or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or other persons, also known as special purpose entities (“SPEs”).

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Not applicable.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered in this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Even assuming the effectiveness of our controls and procedures, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error or all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. In general, our controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that our control system’s objective will be met, and our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level. 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. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or 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 simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls in future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The information required by this item is incorporated by reference from Part I, Item 1. Financial Statements, Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, Note ~~10.~~11.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

There have been no material changes to the risk factors that were disclosed in the ~~2020~~2021 Form ~~10-K, other than set forth below.~~10-K.
Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected by the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-associated CoV-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic or other similar outbreaks of contagious diseases.
Outbreaks of contagious diseases and other adverse public health developments, affecting us and/or the third parties on which we rely, could have a material and adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-associated CoV-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic, which was reported to have begun in late-2019 and has spread worldwide, may affect our ability to initiate and/or complete current and/or or future preclinical studies and/or clinical trials; disrupt our regulatory activities; and/or have other adverse effects on our clinical development. In addition, stay-at-home orders, business closures, travel restrictions, supply chain disruptions and employee or independent contractor illness or quarantines could result in disruptions to our operations, which could adversely impact our results from operations and financial condition. The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has also caused substantial disruption in capital and financial markets and adversely impacted economies worldwide, any and/or all of which may disrupt our business, negatively impact our ability to raise additional funds, and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Moreover, many risk factors set forth in the 2020 Form 10-K should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. The extent to which the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic may impact our business, financial condition and results of operations will depend on the manner in which this pandemic continues to evolve and future developments in response thereto, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence as of the date of this Form 10-Q.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.
