CEL-SCI CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999 --------------------------------------------- (unaudited) A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES ------------------------------------------ Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with rules established by the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. Not all financial disclosures required to present the financial position and results of operations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles are included herein. The reader is referred to the Company's Financial Statements included in the registrant's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2000. In the opinion of management, all accruals and adjustments (each of which is of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position as of December 31, 2000 and the results of operations for the three-month period then ended have been made. Significant accounting policies have been consistently applied in the interim financial statements and the annual financial statements. Investments Investments that may be sold as part of the liquidity management of the Company or for other factors are classified as available-for-sale and are carried at fair market value. Unrealized gains and losses on such securities are reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses on sales of securities are reported in earnings and computed using the specific identified cost basis. Loss per Share Net loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common stock equivalents, including options to purchase common stock, were excluded from the calculation because they are antidilutive due to the net losses. Long-lived Assets Statement of Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-lived Assets and for Long-lived Assets to be Disposed of" is effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995. CEL-SCI CORPORATION NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2000 AND 1999 --------------------------------------------- (unaudited) (continued) B. COMPREHENSIVE LOSS In fiscal 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 130 "Reporting Comprehensive Income" which was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. Comprehensive income (loss) is the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company's source of other comprehensive loss, other than net losses, is from unrealized gain or loss on investments. The components of comprehensive income (loss) are as follows: Three months ended Three months ended December 31, 2000 December 31, 1999 ----------------- ----------------- Net Loss $2,543,489 $1,704,408 Other Comprehensive Income: Unrealized Loss (Gain) From Investments (28,617) (18,713) ---------- ---------- Comprehensive Loss $2,514,872 $1,685,695 ========== ========== CEL-SCI CORPORATION Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company has had only limited revenues from operations since its inception in March 1983. The Company has relied upon proceeds realized from the public and private sale of its Common Stock and short-term borrowings to meet its funding requirements. Funds raised by the Company have been expended primarily in connection with the acquisition of exclusive rights to certain patented and unpatented proprietary technology and know-how relating to the human immunological defense system, the funding of VTI's research and development program, patent applications, the repayment of debt, the continuation of Company-sponsored research and development and administrative costs, and the construction of laboratory facilities. Inasmuch as the Company does not anticipate realizing significant revenues until such time as it enters into licensing arrangements regarding its technology and know-how or until such time it receives permission to sell its product (which could take a number of years), the Company is mostly dependent upon short-term borrowings and the proceeds from the sale of its securities to meet all of its liquidity and capital resource requirements. The Company believes it has adequate cash resources to meet it's working capital requirements for the next twelve months. In June 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with Bio Science Contract Production Corp. ("BSCP") whereby BSCP agreed to provide the Company with a facility which will allow the Company to manufacture Multikine in accordance with the Good Manufacturing Practices regulations of the FDA. Company personnel will staff this facility. The Company has the right to extend the term of its agreement with BSCP until December 31, 2006. Results of Operations Interest income during the three months ending December 31, 2000 was higher than it was during the same quarter in 1999 as a result of the Company's larger cash position. Research and development expenses were significantly higher because of the expenses incurred in the validation of the new manufacturing facilities at BSCP (see above). While the expenses during the next fiscal quarter are expected to be high again for the same reason, the Company's cash outflow will decrease significantly in the next quarter since the majority of the expenses at BSCP are prepaid ($1,750,000 at December 31, 2000). General and administrative expenses have increased mostly because of the significantly higher bills from the Company's auditors and higher salaries. Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS The Company's cash flow and earnings are subject to fluctuations due to changes in interest rates in its investment portfolio of debt securities, to the fair value of equity instruments held, and, to an immaterial extent, to foreign currency exchange rates. The Company maintains an investment portfolio of various issuers, types and maturities. These securities are generally classified as available-for-sale and, consequently, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains or losses reported as a separate component of stockholders' equity. Other-than-temporary losses are recorded against earnings in the same period the loss was deemed to have occurred. The Company does not currently hedge this exposure and there can be no assurance that other-than-temporary losses will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's results of operations in the future. PART II Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds During the quarter ended December 31, 2000, 19,565 shares of common stock were issued by the Company as its contribution to the Company's 401(K) Plan. These shares were registered by means of a registration statement on Form S-8. Item 6. (a) Exhibits No exhibits are filed with this report. (b) Reports on Form 8-K The Company did not file any reports on Form 8-K during the quarter ended December 31, 2000. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned thereunto duly authorized.
