Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial information of Oragenics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Oragenics Australia Pty Ltd (collectively, the “Company”), is unaudited and has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim period presented have been included in consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2026.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Nature of Operations
Oragenics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a development-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the research and development of nasally delivered pharmaceutical therapies targeting neurological conditions and infectious diseases. The Company is currently focused on advancing the development and commercialization of its lead product candidate, ONP-002, a novel formulation intended for the treatment of mild traumatic brain injury (“mTBI” or “concussion”). ONP-002 is being developed as a potential first-in-class therapeutic targeting the unmet medical need for effective concussion treatment. The Company is progressing ONP-002 through Phase IIa clinical trials in Australia, with U.S. Phase IIb trials planned to follow. The Company believes its intranasal delivery platform has potential applications across multiple neurological conditions.
Going Concern
Considering our recurring losses, accumulated deficit, and negative cash flows, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included an explanatory paragraph raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception. To date, we have not generated significant revenues from our operations. We incurred a net loss of $2.2 million and used $2.2 million cash resources in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $228.8 million and cash and cash equivalents of $6.1 million.
We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses as we advance the development of ONP-002, our lead product candidate for the treatment of mild traumatic brain injury and explore potential acquisitions. Success in the biopharmaceutical and product development industry relies on the continuous development of novel product candidates. Most product candidates do not make it past the clinical development stage, which forces companies to look externally for innovation. Accordingly, we expect, from time to time, to seek strategic opportunities through various forms of business development, which can include strategic alliances, licensing deals, joint ventures, collaborations, equity or debt-based investments, dispositions, mergers, and acquisitions. We view these business development activities as a necessary component of our strategies, and we seek to enhance shareholder value by evaluating business development opportunities both within and complementary to our current business, as well as opportunities that may be new and separate from the development of our existing product candidates.
Based on our lack of revenues, anticipated uses of cash and historical recurring cash losses from operating activity, and cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, we believe our current working capital will be sufficient to fund planned operations through December 31, 2026, depending on the timing and scope of our development activities and other strategic decisions. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
We plan to pursue additional financing to mitigate liquidity risk; however, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern remains unless and until we obtain sufficient capital to fund operations beyond the current planning horizon. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate our research and development programs and future acquisition and commercialization efforts, which would adversely affect our business prospects and ability to continue as a going concern. Based on these factors, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Note 2. New Accounting Pronouncements
ASU 2024-03
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 related to the disaggregation of certain income statement expenses. The amendments in this update require public entities to disclose incremental information related to purchases of inventory, team member compensation and depreciation, which will provide investors with the ability to better understand entity expenses and make their own judgements about entity performance. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026. We plan to adopt this pronouncement and make the necessary updates to our disclosures for the year ending December 31, 2027, and, aside from these disclosure changes, we do not expect the amendments to have a material effect on our financial statements.
Note 3. Prepaid Expenses and Other Current Assets
Prepaid expenses and other current assets were $1.4 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $1.6 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of insurance premium financing related to our new policy renewals and advance payments related to research and development service agreements associated with the ONP-002 program.
The Company’s prepaid balances typically consist of insurance premiums, research and development service agreements, and other vendor advances aligned with ongoing clinical, manufacturing, and regulatory activities.
Note 4. Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
Accounts payable and accrued expenses totaled $1.3 million as of March 31, 2026, compared to $1.6 million as of December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the timing of vendor invoicing and payments and higher accrued research and development expenses related to ongoing ONP-002 program activities during the quarter.
These liabilities consist primarily of account payables to research and development vendors, payroll and benefits accruals, professional service fees, and other general corporate obligations.
Note 5. Short-Term Notes Payable
Short-term notes payable consisted of the following:
| March 31, | December 31, | |
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |
| Insurance premium financing of $506,190, due in monthly installments of $58,314, which includes principal and annual interest at 8.75% through April 2026 | $56,134 | $227,348 |
| Total short-term notes payable | $56,134 | $227,348 |

Note 7. Warrants

The shares of Series H Preferred Stock (including those issuable upon exercise of the Series H Warrants) are convertible into the number of shares of our common stock obtained by dividing the Stated Value of the shares to be converted by the Conversion Price. The Certificate of Designation for our Series H Preferred Stock contains anti-dilution provisions, which provisions require the lowering of the current $2.50 Conversion Price on any unconverted Series H Preferred Stock to the price of future issuances by us (subject to certain exclusions). Effective as of March 13, 2026, as a result of the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock to Dawson James in payment of advisory fees pursuant to an Engagement Agreement dated as of March 13, 2026, at a price of $1.00 per share, the Conversion Price of the Series H Preferred Stock was reduced to $1.00.

Note 8. Shareholders’ Equity
We currently have 350,000,000 authorized shares of common stock and 50,000,000 shares of authorized preferred stock.
At-The-Market Sales Agreement with Dawson James

(“Dawson James”) pursuant to which are allowed to issue and sell, from time to time, shares of our common stock (the “Shares”). Dawson James uses its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the shares requested by us to be sold, consistent with their normal trading and sales practices. We may instruct Dawson James not to sell the shares if the sales cannot be affected at or above the price designated by us and we may suspend sales pursuant to the ATM Agreement at any time.

Pursuant to General Instruction I.B.6 of Form S-3, we may not sell our securities in a public primary offering with a value exceeding one-third of our public float in any 12-month period unless our public float subsequently rises to $75.0 million or more.

Series H Preferred Stock and Warrants
On July 2, 2025, the Company completed a public offering of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase additional shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, resulting in gross proceeds of approximately $16.5 million and net proceeds of approximately $15.2 million, after deducting placement agent fees and offering expenses. In connection with the offering, the Company issued 660,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock, each with a stated value of $25.00, and 660,000 warrants to purchase an equal number of Series H Preferred Shares at an exercise price of $25.00 per warrant. Each share of Series H Preferred Stock is convertible into Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $2.50 per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, combinations, dividends, and similar events. The warrants are exercisable immediately and expire on July 2, 2030.
The shares of Series H Preferred Stock (including those issuable upon exercise of the Series H Warrants) are convertible into the number of shares of our common stock obtained by dividing the Stated Value of the shares to be converted by the Conversion Price. The Certificate of Designation for our Series H Preferred Stock contains anti-dilution provisions, which provisions require the lowering of the current $2.50 Conversion Price on any unconverted Series H Preferred Stock to the price of future issuances by us (subject to certain exclusions). Effective as of March 13, 2026, as a result of the Company’s issuance of shares of Common Stock to Dawson James in payment of advisory fees pursuant to an Engagement Agreement dated as of March 13, 2026, at a price of $1.00 per share, the Conversion Price of the Series H Preferred Stock was reduced to $1.00.
The holders of our Series H Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends, payable in shares of Common Stock, at the rate per share of 9% per annum of the Stated Value per share from the date of issuance of such Preferred Stock until July 2, 2030 (the fifth anniversary of the date of closing of the Offering),provided, however, that dividends on shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the exercise of Series H Warrants shall accrue and be cumulative from the date of the exercise of such Series H Warrant. The dividends become payable in shares of Common Stock, (i) upon any conversion of the Preferred Stock, (ii) on each such other date as the Company’s board of directors may determine, subject to written consent of the holders of Preferred Stock holding a majority of the then issued and outstanding Preferred Stock, (iii) upon the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and (iv) upon occurrence of a fundamental transaction, including any merger or consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of our assets, exchange or conversion of all of our Common Stock by tender offer, exchange offer or reclassification; provided, however, that if Preferred Stock is converted into shares of Common Stock at any time prior to July 2, 2030 (the fifth anniversary of the closing of the offering), the holder will receive a make-whole payment in an amount equal to all of the dividends that, but for the early conversion, would have otherwise accrued on the applicable shares of Preferred Stock being converted for the period commencing on the conversion date and ending on July 2, 2030 (the fifth anniversary of the date of closing of this offering), less the amount of all prior dividends paid on such converted Preferred Stock before the date of conversion. Make-whole payments are payable in shares of Common Stock. With respect to any dividends and make-whole payments paid in shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to a holder of Preferred Stock will be an amount equal to the quotient of (i) the amount of the dividend payable to such holder divided by (ii) the conversion price then in effect.
In the event of the Company’s liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would be entitled to receive with respect to such shares of Preferred Stock if such shares had been converted to shares of Common Stock immediately prior to such event, subject to the preferential rights of holders of any class or series of our capital stock specifically ranking by its terms senior to the Preferred Stock as to distributions of assets upon such event, whether voluntarily or involuntarily.
The holders of the Preferred Stock have no voting rights, except as required by law. There is no established public trading market for the Preferred Stock and the Company does not intend to list the Preferred Stock on any national securities exchange or nationally recognized trading system.
As of March 31, 2026,428,291 shares of Series H Preferred Stock remained outstanding, and 1,000 shares had been converted into 14,500 shares of common stock. All conversions were made in accordance with the stated conversion terms, and no additional Series H warrants had been exercised as of the reporting date.
Note 9. Net Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted net loss per share is the same for all periods presented, as the inclusion of potentially dilutive securities would have been anti-dilutive.
The following potentially dilutive securities were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been antidilutive:
