Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Provectus” or “the Company”), is a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing immunotherapy medicines for different diseases. Our drug product candidates are based on bioactive, synthetic, small molecule rose bengal sodium (“RBS”), which is a member of a class of molecules called halogenated xanthenes (“HXs”).
The Company’s proprietary, patented, pharmaceutical-grade RBS is the active pharmaceutical ingredient (“API”) in all our clinical development and non-clinical research programs. The Company is the first entity to advance RBS into clinical trials for the treatment of disease. The Company is also the first entity, and currently the only one, to date to make pharmaceutical-grade RBS API consistently at a purity of nearly 100%.
RBS can be delivered by different routes of administration. RBS may concurrently display stimulatory and inhibitory effects and may target disease in a bifunctional multi-modal manner. Direct contact by RBS with disease may lead to cell death or repair by one or more targeting mechanisms, depending on the disease being treated and the concentration of RBS being utilized in the formulation. Multivariate innate and adaptive immune activation, signaling, and response may follow.
The Company’s RBS drug platform and pipeline comprise drug product candidates and non-clinical formulations that use different amounts of RBS and are delivered by different routes of administration specific to each disease area, including:
| ● | Clinical: Development programs in oncology (intratumoral administration), dermatology (topical), and ophthalmology (topical), |
| ● | In vivo: Proof-of-concept programs in oncology (oral), hematology (oral), wound healing (topical), and canine cancers (intratumoral), |
| ● | In vitro: Early discovery programs in infectious diseases and tissue regeneration and repair, and |
| ● | In silico: Computer modeling of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and other disease targets. |
Risks and Uncertainties
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.
Changes in U.S. Trade Policies Could Adversely Affect Our Operations
Ongoing uncertainty around U.S. trade policies, tariffs, and international agreements may impact the cost and availability of materials, supplies, and equipment used in our operations or those of our partners. Any disruptions or increased costs resulting from these changes could negatively affect our business, financial condition, results of operations, and the market price of our common stock.
Basis of Presentation
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, 2024 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2025. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025.
2. Liquidity and Going Concern
To date, the Company has not generated any revenues or profits from planned principal operations.
The Company’s cash was $72,479 at September 30, 2025. The Company’s working capital deficit was $6,193,668 and $5,998,712 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $4,265,809 and $2,365,241, respectively, and cash used in operations was $2,456,438 and $2,372,083 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, 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 HX-based drug products, and to raise additional capital.
The Company plans to access capital resources through possible public or private equity offerings, including the 2025 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 clinical-stage drug candidates, PV-10, PH-10, and PV-305 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 there can be no assurance 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.
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 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 2025 and beyond. We anticipate that these funds will otherwise come from the proceeds of private placement transactions, including the 2025 Financing, exercise of 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.
As of September 30, 2025, cash requirements for our current liabilities include approximately $4,049,213 for accounts payable and other accrued expenses (including lease liabilities) and $105,860 for a note payable related to our financing of our commercial insurance policies and purchased insurance. Principal and interest in the aggregate amount of $2,316,583 owed in connection with 2021, 2024, and 2025 Notes convert automatically to preferred stock at maturity and are only subject to repayment in the event of a change of control or event of default. The Company intends to meet its cash requirements from its current cash balance and from future financing.
The aforementioned factors indicate that management’s plans do not alleviate the substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of one year from the issuance of these financial statements.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values.
3. Significant Accounting Policies
Since the date the Company’s December 31, 2024 consolidated financial statements were issued in its 2024 Annual Report on March 28, 2025, there have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the consolidated results of Provectus, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and its majority-owned subsidiary, VisiRose (see Note 12). The interests of non-controlling shareholders in VisiRose are presented as net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and as noncontrolling interest in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, accrued liabilities and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of a grant award received from the State of Tennessee. Restricted cash available as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 is $0 and $182,284, respectively.
Cash Concentrations
Cash 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 September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and restricted cash balances in excess of FDIC insurance limits of $0 and $239,726, respectively.
Equipment and Furnishings, net
Equipment and furnishings are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation of equipment is provided for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Computers and office equipment are being depreciated over five years; furniture and fixtures are being depreciated overten years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the lesser of (a) the useful life of the asset; or (b) the remaining lease term. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. The Company capitalizes cost attributable to the betterment of property and equipment when such betterment extends the useful life of the assets.
Long-Lived Assets
The Company reviews the carrying values of its long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever an event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Any long-lived assets held for disposal are reported at the lower of their carrying amounts or fair value less cost to sell. Management has determined there to beno impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Grant Revenue
Grant revenue is recognized when qualifying costs are incurred and there is reasonable assurance that the conditions of the grant have been met. Cash received from grants in advance of incurring qualifying costs is recorded as unearned grant revenue and recognized as grant revenue when qualifying costs are incurred.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are charged to expense when incurred. An allocation of payroll expenses to research and development is made based on a percentage estimate of time spent. The research and development costs include the following: payroll, consulting and contract labor, lab supplies and pharmaceutical preparations, insurance, rent and utilities, and depreciation and amortization.
Patent Costs
The Company expenses all costs as incurred in connection with patent applications (including direct application fees, and the legal and consulting expenses related to making such applications) and such costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Leases
The Company leases properties under operating leases. The Company recognizes a liability to make lease payments, the “lease liability”, and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term, the “right-of-use asset” upon the commencement of a lease. The lease liability is measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The right-of-use asset is measured at the amount of the lease liability adjusted for the remaining balance of any lease incentives received, any cumulative prepaid or accrued rent if the lease payments are uneven throughout the lease term, any unamortized initial direct costs, and any impairment of the right-of-use-asset. Operating lease expense consists of a single lease cost calculated so that the remaining cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis, variable lease payments not included in the lease liability, and any impairment of the right-of-use asset.
Convertible Instruments
The Company evaluates its convertible instruments to determine if those contracts or embedded components 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 of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record qualifying embedded conversion options and any related freestanding instruments at their fair values as 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 classified as derivative liabilities, and any related equity classified freestanding instruments are recorded as a discount to the host 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 equity.
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 issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:
| September 30, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Options | 53,873,102 | 3,075,000 |
| Convertible preferred stock | 140,713,365 | 131,075,215 |
| 2021 unsecured convertible notes and accrued interest | 550,121 | 517,451 |
| 2022 unsecured convertible notes and accrued interest | - | 7,641,022 |
| 2024 unsecured convertible notes and accrued interest | 2,061,612 | 1,578,423 |
| 2025 unsecured convertible notes and accrued interest | 5,482,550 | - |
| Total potentially dilutive shares | 202,680,750 | 143,887,111 |
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. The fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and then is recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. The Company computes the fair value of equity-classified options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions including the expected volatility factor of the market price of the Company’s common stock which is determined by reviewing its historical public market closing prices.
Segment
The Company hasone operating and reporting segment (namely, clinical stage biotechnology), namely, for the development of immunotherapy medicines. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), who is the Company’s chief executive officer, utilizes the Company’s financial information on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions, allocating resources and assessing financial performance, as well as for making strategic operations decisions and managing the organization. The CODM is not regularly provided with disaggregated expense information, other than the expense information included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed balance sheet as total assets.
