NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

Advaxis Inc. (the “Company”) is a clinical development stage biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of proprietary Lm- LLO cancer immunotherapies. These immunotherapies are based on a platform technology that utilizes live attenuated Listeria monocytogenes (“Lm”), bioengineered to secrete antigen/adjuvant fusion proteins. These Lm -LLO strains are believed to be a significant advancement in immunotherapy as they integrate multiple functions into a single immunotherapy as they access and direct antigen presenting cells to stimulate anti-tumor T-cell immunity, stimulate and activate the immune system with the equivalent of multiple adjuvants, and simultaneously reduce tumor protection in the tumor microenvironment to enable the T-cells to eliminate tumors. Other immunotherapies may employ individual elements of the Company’s comprehensive approach, but, to its knowledge, none combine all of these elements together in a single, easily administered, well-tolerated yet comprehensive immunotherapy.

ADXS-HPV is Advaxis’ lead immunotherapy for the treatment of human papilloma virus (“HPV”)-associated cancers. The Company completed a Phase 2 study in 110 patients with recurrent cervical cancer in India that demonstrated a manageable safety profile, improved survival and objective tumor responses, providing the rationale to advance this immunotherapy to registrational Phase 3 trials for the treatment of women with recurrent cervical cancer. ADXS-HPV is being evaluated in three ongoing clinical trials for HPV-associated cancer as follows: locally advanced cervical cancer (with the Gynecologic Oncology Group (“GOG”), largely underwritten by the National Cancer Institute (“NCI”); head and neck cancer (with the Ichan School of Medicine at Mount Sinai (“MSSM”); (U.S); and anal cancer (Brown University, Oncology Group (“BrUOG”), U.S.). In addition, the Company has developed immunotherapies for prostate cancer and HER2 overexpressing cancers (such as breast, gastric and other cancers in humans and osteosarcoma in canines). Over fifteen distinct constructs are in various stages of development, developed directly by the Company and through strategic collaborations with recognized centers of excellence.

Since inception in 2002, the Company has focused its development efforts on understanding its technology and establishing a drug development pipeline that incorporates this technology into therapeutic cancer immunotherapies, currently those targeting HPV-associated cancer (cervical cancer, head and neck cancer and anal cancer), prostate cancer, and HER2 overexpressing cancers. Although no immunotherapies have been commercialized to date, research and development and investment continues to be placed behind the pipeline and the advancement of this technology. Pipeline development and the further exploration of the technology for advancement entail risk and expense. The Company anticipates that its ongoing operational costs will increase significantly as it continues conducting its clinical development program.

Liquidity and Financial Condition

The Company’s products are being developed and have not generated significant revenues. As a result, the Company has suffered recurring losses. These losses are expected to continue for an extended period of time. The Company has successfully completed a public offering of its common stock in October 2013, resulting in approximately $24 million in net proceeds. The Company believes its current cash position is sufficient to fund its business plan for the next eighteen months.

The Company recognizes it will need to raise additional capital over and above the amount raised during October 2013 in order to continue to execute its business plan. Subsequent to January 31, 2014, the Company plans to continue to raise additional funds through the sales of equity securities. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company or whether the Company will become profitable and generate positive operating cash flow. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to scale back its business plan, extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation - Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited interim financial statements furnished reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements of the Company for the year ended October 31, 2013 and notes thereto contained in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2013, as filed with the SEC on January 29, 2014.

Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) involves the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the recorded amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ substantially from these estimates. Significant estimates include the fair value and recoverability of the carrying value of intangible assets (patents and licenses), the fair value of options, the fair value of embedded conversion features, warrants and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from estimates.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts (checking) that at times exceed federally insured limits. Approximately $ 15.2 million is subject to credit risk at January 31, 2014. However, these cash balances are maintained at creditworthy financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amounts of the financing arrangements issued approximate fair value as of the balance sheet date presented, because interest rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates after consideration of stated interest rates, anti-dilution protection and associated warrants.

Net Loss per Share

Basic net income or loss per common share is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share give effect to dilutive options, warrants, convertible debt and other potential common stock outstanding during the period. Therefore, in the case of a net loss the impact of the potential common stock resulting from warrants, outstanding stock options and convertible debt are not included in the computation of diluted loss per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. In the case of net income the impact of the potential common stock resulting from these instruments that have intrinsic value are included in the diluted earnings per share. The table sets forth the number of potential shares of common stock that have been excluded from diluted net loss per share.

	As of January 31,
	2014		2013
Warrants		4,360,441		1,001,236
Stock Options		467,923		355,890
Convertible Debt (using the if-converted method)		3,354		390,566
Total		4,831,718		1,747,692

Stock Based Compensation

The Company has an equity plan which allows for the granting of stock options to its employees, directors and consultants for a fixed number of shares with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the shares at date of grant. The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees and directors, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.

The above stock-based compensation for employees, executives and directors is measured based on the fair market value of the shares issued on the date of grant and is to be recognized over the requisite service period in both research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact on the accompanying condensed financial statements.

The equity warrants can only be settled through the issuance of shares and are not subject to anti-dilution provisions. During the three months ended January 31, 2014, the Company issued 100,000 equity warrants to an entity pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement. These warrants expire in December 2018 and have an exercise price of $5.52.

At January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the Company had approximately 0.6 million of its total 4.4 million outstanding warrants classified as liability warrants (common stock warrant liability). The fair value of the warrant liability, as of January 31, 2014, was approximately $0.5 million. The fair value of the warrant liability, as of October 31, 2013 was approximately $0.6 million. In fair valuing the warrant liability, at January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the Company used the following inputs in its BSM Model:

	01/31/2014			10/31/2013

Warrant Liability/Embedded Derivative Liability

Warrant Liability

As of January 31, 2014, the Company had approximately 561,000 of its total approximately 4.4 million total warrants classified as liabilities (liability warrants). Of these 561,000 liability warrants, approximately 283,000 warrants are outstanding and 278,000 warrants are exchange warrants – nonexercisable. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes Model (“BSM Model”) to calculate the fair value of these warrants at issuance and at each subsequent reporting date. For those warrants with exercise price reset features (anti-dilution provisions), the Company computes multiple valuations, each quarter, using an adjusted BSM Model, to account for the various possibilities that could occur due to changes in the inputs to the BSM Model as a result of contractually-obligated changes (for example, changes in strike price to account for down-round provisions). The Company effectively weights each calculation based on the likelihood of occurrence to determine the value of the warrants at the reporting date. At January 31, 2014, approximately 204,000 of the 561,000 liability warrants are subject to weighted-average anti-dilution provisions. A certain number of liability warrants contain a cash settlement provision in the event of a fundamental transaction (as defined in the common stock purchase warrant). Any changes in the fair value of the warrant liability (i.e. - the total fair value of all outstanding liability warrants at the balance sheet date) between reporting periods will be reported on the statement of operations.

As of October 31, 2013, the Company had approximately 565,000 of its total approximately 4.3 million total warrants classified as liabilities (liability warrants). Of these 565,000 liability warrants, approximately 287,000 warrants are outstanding and 278,000 warrants are exchange warrants – nonexercisable. The Company utilizes the BSM Model to calculate the fair value of these warrants at issuance and at each subsequent reporting date. For those warrants with exercise price reset features (anti-dilution provisions), the Company computes multiple valuations, each quarter, using an adjusted BSM Model, to account for the various possibilities that could occur due to changes in the inputs to the BSM model as a result of contractually-obligated changes (for example, changes in strike price to account for down-round provisions). The Company effectively weights each calculation based on the likelihood of occurrence to determine the value of the warrants at the reporting date. At October 31, 2013, approximately 203,000 of the 565,000 liability warrants are subject to anti-dilution provisions. A certain number of liability warrants contain a cash settlement provision in the event of a fundamental transaction (as defined in the common stock purchase warrant). Any changes in the fair value of the warrant liability (i.e. - the total fair value of all outstanding liability warrants at the balance sheet date) between reporting periods will be reported on the statement of operations.

At January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, the fair value of the warrant liability was approximately $516,000 and $647,000, respectively. For the three months ended January 31, 2014 and January 31, 2013, the Company reported income of approximately $132,000 and a loss of approximately $2.9 million, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of the warrant liability.

Warrants with anti-dilution provisions

Some of the Company’s warrants (approximately 204,000) contain anti-dilution provisions originally set at $25.00 with a term of five years. As of January 31, 2014, these warrants had an exercise price of approximately $9.16. As of October 31, 2013, these warrants had an exercise price of approximately $9.26. If the Company issues any common stock , except for exempt issuances as defined in the warrant agreement for consideration less than the exercise price then the exercise price and the amount of warrant shares available would be adjusted to a new price and amount of shares per the “ weighted average” formula included in the warrant agreement. For the three months ended January 31, 2014, this anti-dilution provision required the Company to issue approximately 1,700 additional warrant shares; and the exercise price to be lowered to $9.16. Any future financial offering or instrument issuance below the current exercise price of $9.16 will cause further anti-dilution and re-pricing provisions in approximately 204,000 of its total outstanding warrants.

For those warrants with exercise price reset features (anti-dilution provisions), the Company computes multiple valuations, each quarter, using an adjusted BSM model, to account for the various possibilities that could occur due to changes in the inputs to the BSM model as a result of contractually-obligated changes (for example, changes in strike price to account for down-round provisions). The Company utilized different exercise prices of $9.16 and $7.50, weighting the possibility of warrants being exercised at $9.16 between 40% and 50% and warrants being exercised at $7.50 between 60% and 50%.

As of January 31, 2014, there were outstanding warrants to purchase 4,360,441 shares of the Company’s Common Stock including exchange warrants - nonexercisable to purchase 278,329 shares of the Company’s Common Stock with exercise prices ranging from $2.76 to $21.25 per share.

Legal Proceedings

On August 19, 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Maxim Group LLC, or Maxim, to terminate a July 2012 engagement agreement between the parties, pursuant to which Maxim asserted claims for unpaid fees related to the introduction of investors to us and services provided.

12. FAIR VALUE

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii) knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value which are the following:

· Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

· Level 2— Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data or substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities

· Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities

The following table provides the liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2014:

January 31, 2014	Level 1		Level 2	Level 3		Total

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

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

The Company has included in this Quarterly Report certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning the Company’s business, operations and financial condition. “Forward-looking statements” consist of all non-historical information, and the analysis of historical information, including the references in this Quarterly Report to future revenues, collaborative agreements, future expense growth, future credit exposure, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, future profitability, anticipated cash resources, anticipated capital expenditures, capital requirements, and the Company’s plans for future periods. In addition, the words “could”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “objective”, “plan”, “may affect”, “may depend”, “believes”, “estimates”, “projects” and similar words and phrases are also intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such factors include the risk factors included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013 and other factors discussed in connection with any forward-looking statement.

Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the Company’s forward-looking statements due to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, the Company’s ability to raise capital, unanticipated technological difficulties, the length, scope and outcome of our clinical trial, costs related to intellectual property, cost of manufacturing and higher consulting costs, product demand, changes in domestic and foreign economic, market and regulatory conditions, the inherent uncertainty of financial estimates and projections, the uncertainties involved in certain legal proceedings, instabilities arising from terrorist actions and responses thereto, and other considerations described as “Risk Factors” in other filings by the Company with the SEC. Such factors may also cause substantial volatility in the market price of the Company’s Common Stock. All such forward-looking statements are current only as of the date on which such statements were made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which any such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

General

The shares of our Common Stock and warrants are listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbols “ADXS” and “ADXSW,” respectively.

We are a development stage biotechnology company with the intent to develop safe and effective cancer vaccines that utilize multiple mechanisms of immunity. We are developing a live Listeria vaccine technology under license from the University of Pennsylvania (“Penn”) which secretes a protein sequence containing a tumor-specific antigen. We believe this vaccine technology is capable of stimulating the body’s immune system to process and recognize the antigen as if it were foreign, generating an immune response able to attack the cancer. We believe this to be a broadly enabling platform technology that can be applied to the treatment of many types of cancers, infectious diseases and auto-immune disorders. In addition, this technology supports among other things the immune response by altering tumors to make them more susceptible to immune attack stimulating the development of specific blood cells that underlie a strong therapeutic immune response.

We have no customers. Since our inception in 2002, we have focused our development efforts upon understanding our technology and establishing a product development pipeline that incorporates this technology in the therapeutic cancer vaccines area targeting cervical, head and neck, prostate and breast cancer. Although no products have been commercialized to date, research and development and investment continues to be placed behind the pipeline and the advancement of this technology. Pipeline development and the further exploration of the technology for advancement entail risk and expense. We anticipate that our ongoing operational costs will increase significantly as we continue our four Phase II clinical trials and prepare to advance this immunotherapy to registrational Phase III trials for the treatment of women with recurrent cervical cancer.

Events that occurred during the Quarter

Biocon Limited

On January 20, 2014, the Company and Biocon Limited, a company incorporated under the laws of India (“Biocon”) entered into a Distribution and Supply Agreement (“Agreement”) .

Pursuant to the Agreement, Advaxis granted Biocon an exclusive license (with a right to sublicense) to (i) use Advaxis’ data from clinical development activities, regulatory filings, technical, manufacturing and other information and know-how to enable Biocon to submit regulatory filings for ADXS-HPV in the following territories: India, Malaysia, Kenya, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Armenia, Egypt, Eritrea, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen (collectively, the “Territory”) and (ii) import, promote, market, distribute and sell pharmaceutical products containing ADXS-HPV. ADXS-HPV is based on a novel platform technology using live, attenuated bacteria that are bio-engineered to secrete an antigen/adjuvant fusion protein(s) designed to redirect the powerful immune response all human beings have to the bacterium against their cancer.

Under the Agreement, Biocon has agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain regulatory approvals for ADXS-HPV in India. In the event Phase II or Phase III clinical trials are required, Advaxis shall conduct such trials at its cost, provided that if Advaxis is unable to commence such clinical trials, Biocon may conduct such clinical trials, subject to reimbursement of costs by Advaxis. Biocon has agreed to commence commercial distribution of ADXS-HPV no later than 9 months following receipt of regulatory approvals in a country in the Territory. Biocon will be responsible for the costs of obtaining and maintaining regulatory approvals in the Territory.

Advaxis will have the exclusive right to supply ADXS-HPV to Biocon and Biocon will be required to purchase its requirements of ADXS-HPV exclusively from Advaxis at the specified contract price, as such price may be adjusted from time to time. In addition, Advaxis will be entitled to a six-figure milestone payment if net sales of ADXS-HPV for the contract year following the initiation of clinical trials in India exceed certain specified thresholds.

Biocon will also have a right of first refusal relating to the licensing of any new products in the Territory that Advaxis may develop during the term of the Agreement.

The term of the Agreement will be the later of twenty years or the last to expire patent or patent application. In addition, the Agreement may be terminated by either party upon thirty days’ written notice (i) in the event of a material breach by the other party of its obligations under the Agreement, (ii) if the other party becomes bankrupt or insolvent or (iii) if the other party undergoes a change in control.

Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

On December 5, 2013, we entered into a clinical trial agreement with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai to evaluate the safety, effectiveness, and immunogenicity of ADXS-HPV in 25 patients with head and neck cancer. This clinical trial will be the first study to evaluate the effects of ADXS-HPV in patients when they are initially diagnosed with HPV-associated head and neck cancer, prior to receiving any standard of care (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation or a combination thereof) to remove and/or treat their tumors. This study will be an important first step toward understanding ADXS-HPV's potential to treat this type of cancer before chemotherapy and/or radiation and its potential to reduce the need for these treatments.

On January 21, 2014, we announced that the first patient with respect to this study was dosed and enrollment is ongoing.

Cancer Research, United Kingdom

On January 2, 2014, we elected to discontinue supplying study drug for the Phase 1/2 study being conducted in the UK in patients with head and neck cancer. The design of this study was inconsistent with our current clinical development strategy, had low potential clinical value and was not an efficient use of our resources. Without study drug, Cancer Research, UK, the study sponsor, will discontinue this study.

Global BioPharma, Inc.

On December 9, 2013, the Company entered into an exclusive licensing agreement for the development and commercialization of ADXS-HPV with Global BioPharma, Inc. (GBP), a Taiwanese based biotech company funded by a group of investors led by Taiwan Biotech Co., Ltd (TBC).

GBP plans to conduct registration trials with ADXS-HPV for the treatment of advanced cervical cancer and will explore the use of Advaxis’ lead product candidate in several other indications including lung, head and neck, and anal cancer.

GBP will pay Advaxis event-based financial milestones, an annual development fee, and annual net sales royalty payments in the high single to double digits. In addition, as an upfront payment, GBP made an investment in Advaxis by purchasing from the Company shares of its common stock at market price. GBP has an option to purchase additional shares of Advaxis stock from the Company at a 150% premium to the stock price on the effective date of the agreement.

GBP will be responsible for all clinical development and commercialization costs in the GBP territory. In collaboration with Advaxis, GBP will also identify and pay the clinical trial costs for up to 150 patients with cervical cancer for enrollment in Advaxis’ U.S. and GBP’s Asia registrational programs for cervical cancer. GBP is committed to establishing manufacturing capabilities for its own territory and to serving as a secondary manufacturing source for Advaxis in the future. Under the terms of the agreement, Advaxis will exclusively license the rights to ADXS-HPV to GBP for the Asia, Africa, and former USSR territory, exclusive of India and certain other countries, for all HPV-associated indications. Advaxis will retain exclusive rights to ADXS-HPV for the rest of the world.

Events that occurred after the Quarter

Georgia Regents University

On March 20, 2012, we announced the continuation of our collaboration with Dr. Samir N. Khleif, the former Chief of the Vaccines Section at the National Cancer Institute, at his new position as Director of the Georgia Health Sciences University Cancer Center (“GRU”) in Augusta, Georgia. Dr. Khleif and his laboratory will continue to elaborate the molecular immunologic mechanisms by which live, attenuated strains of Lm can effect therapeutic changes in cancer and other diseases.

On February 5, 2014, we expanded our relationship with GRU by entering into a master clinical trial agreement with GRU Cancer Center to conduct four Phase 1/2 clinical trials. The trials will be conducted under the supervision of Dr. Khleif. The planned trials will further develop Advaxis’ two lead immunotherapies: ADXS-HPV for cervical cancer and ADXS-cHER2 for breast cancer. The four clinical trials will be designed to assess:

• High dose, repeating cycles of ADXS-HPV in recurrent or refractory cervical cancer.

• ADXS-cHER2 in women with Her2/neu over-expressing breast cancer with measurable disease who have progressed after prior standard therapy.

• The optimal combination dose of ADXS-HPV and PD-1 antibodies in patients with recurrent or refractory cervical cancer.

• ADXS-HPV prior to surgery in patients with surgically treatable cervical cancer.

SynCo Bio Partners B.V. (“SynCo”)

On February 11, 2014, we entered into an agreement with SynCo Bio Partners B.V. (SynCo), one of the leading GMP contract manufacturers of biopharmaceuticals, for SynCo to manufacture ADXS-HPV. Under the agreement, SynCo will assist Advaxis in developing scale-up and commercial manufacturing processes for ADXS-HPV bulk drug substance and drug product.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2014 AND 2013

Revenue

We did not record any revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2014 and 2013.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased by approximately $581,000 to approximately $1,560,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 as compared with approximately $979,000 for the same period a year ago, resulting from higher compensation costs of approximately $295,000 (of which approximately $191,000 were non-cash expenses) in addition to higher patent-related and consulting costs associated with expanded research and development activities. Clinical trial expenses, in the three months ended January 31, 2014, were essentially flat when compared with the same period a year ago, resulting from higher clinical costs associated with our India-based trial, being essentially offset by lower domestic clinical costs.

We anticipate a significant increase in research and development expenses as a result of expanded development and commercialization efforts primarily related to clinical trials and product development. In addition, expenses will be incurred in the development of strategic and other relationships required to license, manufacture and distribute our product candidates.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $3,196,000 to approximately $4,398,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 as compared with approximately $1,202,000 for the same period a year ago, resulting from higher compensation costs of approximately $1,410,000 (of which approximately $1,100,000 million represent share-based compensation) in addition to higher year-over-year consulting expenses of approximately $800,000 million (of which approximately $600,000 million represent non-cash expense). The Company also incurred expense, in the current period, related to the final settlement of an ongoing claim that was not incurred in the same period a year ago.

Interest Expense

For the three months ended January 31, 2014, interest expense decreased significantly to approximately $2,000 from approximately $361,000 in the same period a year ago resulting from the significant reduction in overall debt from approximately $1.7 million in outstanding principal at January 31, 2013 to approximately $120,000 in outstanding principal at January 31, 2014. Substantially all of the outstanding principal at January 31, 2013 was converted or repaid during the fiscal year ended October 31, 2013, resulting in a significant decrease in interest expense at January 31, 2014. In addition, the Company recognized non-cash expense of approximately $157,000 related to the issuance of the Commitment Fee Shares to Hanover, under the Equity Enhancement Program, in the three months ended January 31, 2013. No such expense was recognized in the three months ended January 31, 2014, resulting in lower overall interest expense for the current period when compared to the same period a year ago.

Other Income / (Expense)

Other income was approximately $8,600 for the three months ended January 31, 2014 primarily resulting from interest income earned on the Company’s savings account balance during the quarter.

Other expense was approximately $20,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2013 as a result of unfavorable changes in foreign exchange rates relating to transactions with certain vendors.

(Loss) Gain on Note Retirement and Accounts Payable

For the three months ended January 31, 2014, we recorded non-cash income of approximately $6,200 primarily resulting from the settlement of an outstanding payable, at a discount, with shares of our Common Stock and cash.

	21

For the three months ended January 31, 2013, we recorded non-cash income of approximately $152,500 primarily resulting from the settlement of outstanding payables with shares of our Common Stock, resulting in non-cash income of approximately $576,000, offset by non-cash charges to income of approximately $424,000 resulting from the extinguishment of debt instruments during the period.

Changes in Fair Values

For the three months ended January 31, 2014, the Company recorded non-cash income from changes in the fair value of the warrant liability of approximately $132,000 due to a decrease in the fair value of liability warrants primarily resulting from a smaller range of share prices used in the calculation of the BSM Model volatility input.

For the three months ended January 31, 2013, the Company recorded non-cash expense from changes in the fair value of the warrant liability of approximately $4,000,000. In the current period, the increase in expense of approximately $4,000,000 resulted from an increase in the fair value of each liability warrant due to an increase in our share price from $0.045, at October 31, 2012 to $0.072 at January 31, 2013 and an increase in the number of outstanding liability warrants during the period.

Income Tax Benefit

The Company may be eligible, from time to time, to receive cash from the sale of our Net Operating Losses under the State of New Jersey NOL Transfer Program. In the three months ended January 31, 2014, the Company received a net cash amount of approximately $626,000 from the sale of our state NOLs and R&D tax credits for the periods ended October 31, 2010 and 2011.

In the three months ended January 31, 2013, the Company received a net cash amount of approximately $725,000 from the sale of our state NOLs and R&D tax credits for the periods ended October 31, 2010 and 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception through January 31, 2014, the Company has reported accumulated net losses of approximately $75.7 million and recurring negative cash flows from operations. We anticipate that we will continue to generate significant losses from operations for the foreseeable future.

Cash used in operating activities, for the three months ending January 31, 2014, was approximately $4.96 million (including proceeds from the sale of our state NOLs and R&D tax credits of approximately $0.6 million) primarily from spending associated with our clinical trial programs and general & administrative spending. Total spending approximated $ 5.6 million, including one-time non-recurring costs associated with our October 2013 financing, certain compensation costs and the settlement of a legal claim.

Cash used in investing activities, for the three months ended January 31, 2014, was approximately $37,000 resulting from legal cost spending in support of our intangible assets (patents) and costs paid to Penn for patents.

Cash provided by financing activities, for the three months ended January 31, 2014, was approximately $400,000, resulting from the sale of our Common Stock under a Stock Purchase Agreement with Global BioPharma Inc. (GBP). During February 2014 the Company issued GBP 108,724 shares of our Common Stock under the Stock Purchase Agreement.

During the three months ended January 31, 2013, the Company issued 14,229 shares of our Common Stock, to accredited investors, at a price per share of $4.375, resulting in total net proceeds of $62,250. In addition, during January 2013, the Company received $15,000, under a stock purchase agreement. On February 11, 2013, the Company issued the accredited investor 3,429 shares at a price per share of $4.375.

During the three months ended January 31, 2013, the Company issued 91,124 shares of our common stock to Hanover in connection with the settlement of drawdowns pursuant to the Hanover Purchase Agreement, at prices ranging from approximately $3.325 to $4.675 per share. The per share price for such shares was established under the terms of the Hanover Purchase Agreement. The Company received total net proceeds of approximately $350,633 in connection with these drawdowns. In addition, the Company received net proceeds of $77,250 under various stock purchase agreements.

	22

Our limited capital resources and operations to date have been funded primarily with the proceeds from public, private equity and debt financings, NOL tax sales and income earned on investments and grants. We have sustained losses from operations in each fiscal year since our inception, and we expect losses to continue for the indefinite future, due to the substantial investment in research and development. As of January 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $75,653,215 and $70,465,823, respectively and shareholders’ equity of $14,859,802 and $18,002,142, respectively.

The Company believes its current cash position is sufficient to fund its business plan for the next eighteen months. Subsequent to January 31, 2014, the Company plans to continue to raise additional funds through the sales of debt and/or equity securities.

The Company recognizes it will need to raise additional capital over and above the amount raised during October 2013 in order to continue to execute its business plan. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available when needed or that management will be able to obtain financing on terms acceptable to the Company or whether the Company will become profitable and generate positive operating cash flow. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional funds, it will have to scale back its business plan, extend payables and reduce overhead until sufficient additional capital is raised to support further operations. There can be no assurance that such a plan will be successful.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of January 31, 2014, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures in the financial statements. Management considers 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 of difference estimates that could have been selected could have material impact in our results of operations or financial condition.

While we base our estimates and judgments on our experience and on various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material. The most significant estimates impact the following transactions or account balances: stock compensation, warrant valuation, impairment of intangibles, dilution caused by anti-dilution provisions in the warrants and other agreements.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for stock-based compensation using fair value recognition and record stock-based compensation as a charge to earnings net of the estimated impact of forfeited awards. As such, we recognize stock-based compensation cost only for those stock-based awards that are estimated to ultimately vest over their requisite service period, based on the vesting provisions of the individual grants.

The process of estimating the fair value of stock-based compensation awards and recognizing stock-based compensation cost over their requisite service period involves significant assumptions and judgments. We estimate the fair value of stock option awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-valuation model for the remaining awards, which requires that we make certain assumptions regarding: (i) the expected volatility in the market price of our common stock; (ii) dividend yield; (iii) risk-free interest rates; and (iv) the period of time employees are expected to hold the award prior to exercise (referred to as the expected holding period). As a result, if we revise our assumptions and estimates, our stock-based compensation expense could change materially for future grants.

Stock-based compensation for employees, executives and directors is measured based on the fair value of the shares issued on the date of grant and is to be recognized over the requisite service period in both research and development expenses and general and administrative expenses on the statement of operations.

	23

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, receivables, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximated fair value, as of the balance sheet date presented, because of the relatively short maturity dates on these instruments. The carrying amounts of the financing arrangements issued approximate fair value, as of the balance sheet date presented, because interest rates on these instruments approximate market interest rates after consideration of stated interest rates, anti-dilution protection and associated warrants. The estimate of fair value of such financial instruments involves the exercise of significant judgment and the use of estimates by management

Derivative Financial instruments

We do not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market or foreign currency risks. We evaluate all of our financial instruments to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value and is then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the statements of operations. The determination of fair value requires the use of judgment and estimates by management. For stock-based derivative financial instruments, we used the Black-Scholes valuation model which approximated the binomial lattice options pricing model to value the derivative instruments at inception and on subsequent valuation dates. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is evaluated at the end of each reporting period. Derivative liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current based on whether or not net-cash settlement of the instrument could be required within 12 months of the balance sheet date. The variables used in the model are projected based on our historical data, experience, and other factors. Changes in any of these variables could result in material adjustments to the expense recognized for changes in the valuation of the warrant derivative liability.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any other recently issued, but not yet effective accounting pronouncements, if adopted, would have a material impact on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
