Notes to Financial Statements
Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]	1. Description of Company and Basis of Presentation GeoVax Labs, Inc. (“GeoVax” or the “Company”), is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing innovative human vaccines using our novel DNA/MVA platform technology. Our primary focus is to develop vaccines that prevent and fight Human Immunodeficiency Virus (“HIV”) infections, and we have recently expanded our research and development efforts to include vaccines to prevent Ebola virus infection. We have exclusively licensed from Emory University (“Emory”) certain vaccine technology which was developed in collaboration with the National Institutes of Health (“NIH”) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”). GeoVax is incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware and our principal offices are located in Smyrna, Georgia (metropolitan Atlanta area). Our goal is to build a profitable company by generating income from products we develop and commercialize, either alone or with one or more potential strategic partners. Our most advanced vaccines under development address the clade B subtype of the HIV virus that is most prevalent in the United States and western Europe. Our preventive clade B HIV vaccine has successfully completed Phase 2a clinical trials and we are currently planning the next stage of human clinical testing. We are also planning clinical trials to evaluate our clade B HIV vaccine as an immunotherapy agent for individuals already infected with HIV. We have begun preclinical studies to develop HIV vaccine candidates for the clade C subtype of HIV prevalent in the developing world. Our Ebola vaccine development efforts have recently been initiated and we expect to begin preclinical animal studies during 2015, with the goal of beginning human clinical testing in 2016. Our activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. We have neither received regulatory approval for any of our vaccine candidates, nor do we have any commercialization capabilities; therefore, it is possible that we may never successfully derive significant product revenues from any of our existing or future development programs or product candidates. We have funded our activities to date from government grants and clinical trial assistance, and from sales of our equity securities. We believe that our existing cash resources, combined with the proceeds from the NIH grants discussed in Note 8 and the warrant exercises discussed in Note 10, will be sufficient to fund our operations into the second quarter of 2015. We will require additional funds to continue our planned operations beyond that date. We are currently seeking sources of non-dilutive capital through government grant programs and clinical trial support, and we also intend to conduct additional offerings of our equity securities. However, additional funding may not be available on favorable terms or at all and if we fail to obtain capital when needed, we may be required to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our research and development programs as well as reduce our general and administrative expenses. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements at September 30, 2014 and for the three month and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 are unaudited, but include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring entries, which we believe to be necessary for a fair presentation of the dates and periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. We expect our operating results to fluctuate for the foreseeable future; therefore, period-to-period comparisons should not be relied upon as predictive of the results in future periods. We disclosed in Note 2 to our financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 those accounting policies that we consider significant in determining our results of operations and financial position. There have been no material changes to, or in the application of, the accounting policies previously identified and described in the Form 10-K.
