U.S. Government Contracts

As of September 30, 2013, the Company had completed all of its contracts with the DoD except for the Marburg portion of the July 2010 contract for the development of therapeutics against Ebola and Marburg viruses.

July 2010 Contract (Ebola and Marburg Intravenous administration)

On July 14, 2010, the Company was awarded a DoD contract managed by the Joint Project Manager Transformational Medical Technologies (JPM-TMT) Project Management Office, a component of the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical and Biological Defense, for the advanced development of the Company’s hemorrhagic fever virus therapeutic candidates, AVI-6002 and AVI-6003,

against the Ebola and Marburg viruses, respectively. In February 2012, the Company announced that it received permission from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to proceed with a single oligomer from AVI-6003, AVI-7288, as the lead product candidate against Marburg virus infection.

On August 2, 2012, the Company received a stop-work order related to the Ebola virus portion of the contract and, on October 2, 2012, the DoD terminated the Ebola portion of the contract for the convenience of the government due to government funding constraints.

The remaining Marburg portion of the contract is structured into four segments and has an aggregate remaining period of performance spanning approximately four years if the DoD exercises its options for all segments. Activities under the first segment began in July 2010 and include Phase I studies in healthy volunteers as well as preclinical studies.

After completion of the first segment, and each successive segment, the DoD has the option to proceed to the next segment. If the DoD exercises its options for segments II, III and IV, the Company’s contract activities would include all clinical and licensure activities necessary to obtain FDA regulatory approval for the therapeutic candidate against the Marburg virus. The funding for segments II, III and IV of the Marburg virus portion of the contract is estimated to be approximately $84.4 million.

August 2012 Contract (Intramuscular administration)

On August 29, 2012, the Company was awarded a contract from the DoD, which is also managed by the JPM-TMT. The contract was awarded for approximately $3.9 million to evaluate the feasibility of an intramuscular (IM) route of administration using AVI-7288, the Company’s candidate for treatment of Marburg virus. The period of performance of this contract concluded in the third quarter of 2013.

Other Agreements

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2013, Other Agreements includes $0.4 million in additional revenue from a former US government contract of the Company related to H1N1 influenza.

European Union SKIP-NMD Agreement

In November 2012, the Company entered into an agreement for a collaborative research project partially funded by the EC Health Innovation. The agreement provides for reimbursement of costs of approximately $2.5 million for research in certain development and study related activities for a DMD therapeutic and is expected to last approximately three years.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company received $1.3 million in advance payments and recognized $0.6 million of these payments as revenue. Deferred revenue related to the agreement as of September 30, 2013 was $0.7 million. The remaining balance of deferred revenue relates to the Company’s sponsored research agreement with Charley’s Fund from prior years.

Children’s National Medical Center (CNMC) Agreement

In July 2013, the Company entered into an agreement totaling $1.3 million to provide drug product to CNMC to conduct research related to the Company’s DMD program. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company has recognized $0.7 million as revenue under the agreement.
