NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012 (UNAUDITED)

A. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed financial statements of CEL-SCI Corporation (the Company) are unaudited and certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. While management of the Company believes that the disclosures presented are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, these interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2013.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements contain all accruals and adjustments (each of which is of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of December 31, 2013 and the results of its operations for the three months then ended. The condensed balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 is derived from the September 30, 2013 audited financial statements. Significant accounting policies have been consistently applied in the interim financial statements and the annual financial statements. The results of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Research and Office Equipment and Leasehold Improvements - Research and office equipment is recorded at cost and depreciated using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of five to seven years. Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset or the term of the lease. Repairs and maintenance which do not extend the life of the asset are expensed when incurred. The fixed assets are reviewed on a quarterly basis to determine if any of the assets are impaired.

Patents - Patent expenditures are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the shorter of the expected useful life or the legal life of the patent (17 years). In the event changes in technology or other circumstances impair the value or life of the patent, appropriate adjustment in the asset value and period of amortization is made. An impairment loss is recognized when estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset, and from its disposition, is less than the carrying value of the asset. The amount of the impairment loss would be the difference between the estimated fair value of the asset and its carrying value.

Research and Development Costs - Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.

Income Taxes - The Company uses the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating and tax loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be recognized. A full valuation allowance was recorded against the deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013.

Derivative Instruments – The Company has entered into financing arrangements that contain embedded derivative features. The Company has also issued warrants to various parties in connection with work performed by these parties. The Company accounts for these arrangements in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.” In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), derivative instruments and hybrid instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet and are measured at fair value with gains or losses recognized in earnings or other comprehensive income depending on the nature of the derivative or hybrid instruments. The Company determines the fair value of derivative instruments and hybrid instruments based on available market data using appropriate valuation models, giving consideration to all of the rights and obligations of each instrument. The derivative liabilities are remeasured at fair value at the end of each interim period as long as they are outstanding.

Deferred Rent (Asset) –Consideration paid, including deposits, related to operating leases is recorded as a deferred rent asset and amortized as rent expense over the lease term. Interest on the deferred rent is calculated at 3% on the funds deposited on the manufacturing facility and is included in deferred rent. This interest income will be used to offset future rent.

Stock-Based Compensation – Compensation cost for all stock-based awards is measured at fair value as of the grant date in accordance with the provisions of ASC 718 “Stock Compensation Expense”. The fair value of the stock options is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes model requires various judgmental assumptions including volatility and expected option life. The stock-based compensation cost is recognized on the straight line allocation method as expense over the requisite service or vesting period.

Equity instruments issued to non-employees are accounted for in accordance with ASC 505-50, “Equity-Based Payments to Non Employees.” Accordingly, compensation is recognized when goods or services are received and is measured using the Black-Scholes valuation model. The Black-Scholes model requires various judgmental assumptions regarding the fair value of the equity instruments at the measurement date and the expected life of the options.

The Company has Incentive Stock Option Plans, Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans, a Stock Compensation Plan and Stock Bonus Plans. In some cases these Plans are collectively referred to as the "Plans". All Plans have been approved by the stockholders.

Reclassification – Certain prior year items have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

B. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

There are no significant new accounting pronouncements that would impact the condensed financial statements.

C. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Stock options, stock bonuses and compensation granted by the Company as of December 31, 2013 are as follows:

Name of Plan	Total Shares Reserved Under Plans		Shares Reserved for Outstanding Options		Shares Issued as Stock Bonus		Remaining Options/Shares Under Plans
Incentive Stock Option Plans		1,960,000		1,573,597		N/A		145,703
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plans		5,680,000		3,674,544		N/A		1,443,537
Stock Bonus Plans		1,594,000		N/A		958,325		634,919
Stock Compensation Plan		1,350,000		N/A		791,145		558,855

There were zero and 1,437,466 options granted to employees and directors during the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

In December 2012, the Company offered employees and directors holding options that expire on April 1, 2013 the opportunity to forfeit these options and have new options issued with an expiration date of December 17, 2017. All twelve employees and directors eligible for this offer accepted the terms. This resulted in the cancellation of 387,466 options priced at $2.20 per share and the concurrent issuance of the same number of options at $2.80 per share. In accordance with ASC 718, the Company recorded the incremental compensation cost of the options. The incremental compensation cost is the excess of the fair value of the replacement award over the fair value of the cancelled award at the cancellation date. At the cancellation date, the incremental compensation cost was $477,879.

The Company reviews all outstanding warrants in accordance with the requirements of ASC 815. This topic provides that an entity should use a two-step approach to evaluate whether an equity-linked financial instrument (or embedded feature) is indexed to its own stock, including evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise and settlement provisions. The warrant agreements provide for adjustments to the exercise price for certain dilutive events, which includes an adjustment to the number of shares issuable upon the exercise of the warrant in the event that the Company makes certain equity offerings in the future at a price lower than the exercise prices of the warrant instruments. Under the provisions of ASC 815, the warrants are not considered indexed to the Company’s stock because future equity offerings or sales of the Company’s stock are not an input to the fair value of a “fixed-for-fixed” option on equity shares, and equity classification is therefore precluded.

In accordance with ASC 815, derivative liabilities must be measured at fair value upon issuance and re-valued at the end of each reporting period through expiration. Any change in fair value between the respective reporting dates is recognized as a gain or loss.

Series A through E Warrants

The Company accounted for the Series A through E Warrants as derivative liabilities in accordance with ASC 815. These warrants do not qualify for equity accounting and must be accounted for as derivative liabilities since the warrant agreements provide the holder with the right, at its option, to require the Company to a cash settlement of the warrants at Black-Scholes value in the event of a Fundamental Transaction, as defined in the warrant agreement. Since the occurrence of a Fundamental Transaction is not entirely within the Company's control, there exist circumstances that would require net-cash settlement of the warrants while holders of shares would not receive a cash settlement.

In June 2009, the Company issued 1,011,656 Series A warrants exercisable at $5.00 per share in connection with a financing. The cost of the warrants of $2,775,021 was recorded as a debit to additional paid-in capital and a credit to derivative liabilities. As of December 31, 2013, 130,347 of these warrants remained outstanding. As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the fair value of the remaining Series A warrants was $1,303.

In July 2009, the Company issued 16,750 warrants to a private investor. The warrants were issued with an exercise price of $5.00 per share and valued at $43,550 using the Black Scholes method. The cost of the warrants was accounted for as a debit to additional paid-in capital and a credit to derivative liabilities. As of December 31, 2013, 16,750 warrants remained outstanding. As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the fair value of the remaining warrants was $168.

In connection with a loan received and fully repaid in a prior period, the Company issued 50,000 Series B warrants with an exercise price of $6.80 per share. As of December 31, 2013, 50,000 Series B warrants remained outstanding. As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the fair value of the remaining Series B warrants was $0.

In connection with an August 2009 financing, the Company issued 539,222 Series C warrants exercisable at $5.50 per share. As of December 31, 2013, 463,487 of these warrants remained outstanding. As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the fair value of the remaining Series C warrants was $4,635.

In September 2009, the Company issued 71,428 Series E warrants with an exercise price of $17.50 per share to the placement agent in connection with a financing. As of December 31, 2013, 71,428 Series E warrants remained outstanding. As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the fair value of the remaining Series E warrants was $0.

For the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a gain of $0 and $332,436, respectively, on the Series A through E warrants.

Series N Warrants

In October 2011, the Company sold 1,333,333 shares of its common stock to private investors for $4,000,000, or $3.00 per share. This financing triggered the reset provision in the Series N warrants, which allows for adjustments in the exercise price if subsequent equity sales are offered at a lower price. As a result, the outstanding 389,078 Series N warrants issued to investors in connection with a prior year financing, were reset from $4.00 to $3.00. In addition, the investors were issued 129,693 warrants exercisable at $3.00 per share at an initial cost of $220,478. The cost was accounted for as a debit to loss on derivatives and a credit to derivative liabilities.

On October 11, 2013 and December 24, 2013, in connection with public offerings of common stock on those dates, the Company issued the Series N warrant holders 2,432,649 additional warrants as required by the warrant agreements. As of December 31, 2013, 2,951,420 Series N warrants remain outstanding. As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the values of the Series N warrants were $531,255 and $41,501, respectively.

During the three months ended December 30, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a gain on the Series F and G warrants of $0 and $640,000, respectively.

The Series R warrants may be exercised at any time before December 7, 2016 at a price of $4.00 per share. The initial cost of the warrants of $4,200,000 was recorded as a debit to additional paid-in capital and a credit to derivative liabilities.

D. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In accordance with ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements,” the Company determines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company generally applies the income approach to determine fair value. This method uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations with respect to those future amounts.

ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to active markets for identical assets and liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The Company classifies fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

●	Level 1 – Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

●

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active and amounts derived from valuation models where all significant inputs are observable in active markets

●	Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect management’s assumptions

For disclosure purposes, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety in the fair value hierarchy level based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the overall fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

The table below sets forth the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, in the condensed balance sheet at December 31, 2013:

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets or Liabilities (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total

Derivative instruments	$	-	$	-	$	6,143,278	$	6,143,278

The table below sets forth the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by input level, in the condensed balance sheet at September 30, 2013:

	Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets or Liabilities (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total

Derivative instruments	$	-	$	-	$	433,024	$	433,024

The following sets forth the reconciliation of beginning and ending balances related to fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and the year ended September 30, 2013:

	(3 month)			(12 month)
	December 31, 2013			September 30, 2013
Beginning balance	$	433,024		$	6,983,690
Issuances		7,321,071			4,200,000
Settlements		-			-
Realized and unrealized gains
recorded in earnings		(1,610,817	)		(10,750,666	)
Ending balance	$	6,143,278		$	433,024

The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments disclosed above are primarily derived from valuation models where significant inputs such as historical price and volatility of the Company’s stock as well as U.S. Treasury Bill rates are observable in active markets.

E. LOANS FROM OFFICER

T he Company’s President, and a director, Maximilian de Clara, loaned the Company $1,104,057. The loan from Mr. de Clara bears interest at 15% per year and is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Company does not have the right to prepay the loan without Mr. de Clara’s consent. The loan was initially payable at the end of March 2009, but was extended to the end of June 2009. At the time the loan was originally due, and in accordance with the loan agreement, the Company issued Mr. de Clara warrants to purchase 164,824 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $4.00 per share. The warrants are exercisable at any time prior to December 24, 2014. In June 2009, the loan with Mr. de Clara was extended for the second time to July 6, 2014. At Mr. de Clara’s option, the loan may be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. The number of shares which will be issued upon any conversion will be determined by dividing the amount to be converted by $4.00. As further consideration for the second extension, Mr. de Clara received warrants to purchase 184,930 shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $5.00 per share at any time prior to January 6, 2015. On May 13, 2011, to recognize Mr. de Clara’s willingness to agree to subordinate his note to the convertible preferred shares and convertible debt as part of the settlement agreement, the Company extended the maturity date of the note to July 6, 2015; however, Mr. de Clara may demand payment upon giving the Company a minimum 10 day notice.

During the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company paid $55,203 and $41,402 respectively in interest expense to Mr. de Clara.

F. OPERATIONS AND FINANCING

The Company has incurred significant costs since its inception in connection with the acquisition of certain patented and unpatented proprietary technology and know-how relating to the human immunological defense system, patent applications, research and development, administrative costs, construction of laboratory facilities, and clinical trials. The Company has funded such costs with proceeds from loans and the public and private sale of its common and preferred stock. The Company will be required to raise additional capital or find additional long-term financing in order to continue with its research efforts. To date, the Company has not generated any revenue from product sales. The ability of the Company to complete the necessary clinical trials and obtain US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) approval for the sale of products to be developed on a commercial basis is uncertain. Ultimately, the Company must complete the development of its products, obtain the appropriate regulatory approvals and obtain sufficient revenues to support its cost structure.

The Company is currently running a large multi-national Phase III clinical trial for head and neck cancer with its partners TEVA Pharmaceuticals and Orient Europharma. The Company believes that it has enough capital to support its operations for more than the next twelve months and believes that it has ready access to new equity capital should the need arise. During fiscal year 2013, the Company raised $9.8 million net proceeds from several institutional investors. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company raised approximately $19.4 million in net proceeds through the sale of common stock and warrants in two public offerings. These funds are expected to meet the Company’s cash requirements through 2014. To finance the study beyond the next 12 months, the Company plans to raise additional capital in the form of corporate partnerships, debt and/or equity financings. The Company believes that it will be able to obtain additional financing since Multikine is a Phase III product designed to treat cancer and because it has done so consistently in the past. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising additional funds or that funds will be available to the Company on acceptable terms or at all. If the Company does not raise the necessary amounts of money, the Company will either have to slow down or delay the Phase III clinical trial or even significantly curtail its operations until such time as it is able to raise the required funding.

Since the Company launched its Phase III trial for Multikine, the Company has spent approximately $11,300,000 as of December 31, 2013 on direct costs for the Phase III clinical trial. The total remaining cash cost of the clinical trial is estimated to be about $33,300,000. It should be noted that this estimate is based only on the information currently available in the Company’s contracts with the Clinical Research Organizations responsible for managing the Phase III trial. This number can be affected by the speed of enrollment, foreign currency exchange rates and many other factors, some of which cannot be foreseen today. It is therefore possible that the cost of the Phase III trial will be higher than currently estimated.

G. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Clinical Research Agreements

In March 2013, the Company entered into an agreement with Aptiv Solutions to provide certain clinical research services in accordance with a master service agreement. The Company will reimburse Aptiv for costs incurred. In May 2013, CEL-SCI made an advance payment of $400,000. In October 2013, CEL-SCI made the second and final advance payment of $200,000. The funds advanced will be credited back in $150,000 annual increments from December 2014 through December 2017. As of December 31, 2013, $150,000 of the deposit is classified as a current asset.

In April 2013, the Company entered into a co-development and revenue sharing agreement with Ergomed. Under the agreement, Ergomed will contribute up to $10 million towards the Company’s Phase III trial in the form of offering discounted clinical services in exchange for a single digit percentage of milestone and royalty payments, up to a specific maximum amount. The Company accounted for the co-development and revenue sharing agreement in accordance with ASC 808 “Collaborative Arrangements”. The Company determined the payments to Erogmed are within the scope of ASC 730 “Research and Development.” Therefore, the Company records the discount on the clinical services as a credit to research and development expense on its Statements of Operations. Since the Company entered into the co-development and revenue sharing agreement with Ergomed it has incurred research and development expenses of approximately $2,017,000 related to Ergomed’s services. This amount is net of Ergomed’s discount of approximately $634,000. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company recorded, net of Ergomed’s discount, approximately $1,179,000 as research and development expense related to Ergomed’s services.

In October 2013, the Company entered into two co-development and profit sharing agreements with Ergomed. One agreement supports the US Navy with the development of Multikine as a potential treatment in HIV/HPV co-infected men and women with peri-anal warts. The other agreement focuses on the development of Multikine in HIV/HPV co-infected women with cervical dysplasia. Ergomed will assume up to $3 million in clinical and regulatory costs for each study.

On October 31, 2013, the Company commenced arbitration proceedings against inVentiv Health Clinical, LLC (inVentiv, f/k/a PharmaNet, LLC), the Company’s former clinical research organization. The arbitration claim, initiated under the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association, alleges (i) breach of contract, (ii) fraud in the inducement, and (iii) common law fraud, and seeks at least $50 million in damages. The Company filed this arbitration because, among other reasons, the number of patients enrolled and treated in the study fell below the level agreed to with inVentiv. In April 2013, the Company dismissed inVentiv and replaced it with Aptiv Solutions, Inc. and Ergomed Clinical Research Ltd, as noted above.

On December 12, 2013, inVentiv filed a counterclaim, alleging breach of contract on the part of CEL-SCI and seeking at least $2 million in damages. On December 20, 2013, inVentiv moved to dismiss certain claims. Given that this matter is at a preliminary stage, the Company is not in a position to predict or assess the likely outcome of these proceedings.

Lease Agreements

In August 2007, the Company leased a building near Baltimore, Maryland. The building was remodeled in accordance with the Company’s specifications so that it can be used by the Company to manufacture Multikine for the Company’s Phase III clinical trial and sales of the drug if approved by the FDA. The lease is for a term of twenty years and requires annual base rent to escalate each year at 3%. The Company is required to pay all real and personal property taxes, insurance premiums, maintenance expenses, repair costs and utilities. The lease allows the Company, at its election, to extend the lease for two ten-year periods or to purchase the building at the end of the 20-year lease.

The Company was required to deposit the equivalent of one year of base rent in accordance with the contract. When the Company meets the minimum cash balance required by the lease, the deposit will be returned to the Company. The $1,670,917 is included in non-current assets on December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013 .

The Company subleases a portion of its rental space on a month to month term lease, which requires a 30 day notice for termination. The Company receives $5,150 per month in rent for the subleased space.

The Company leases its research and development laboratory under a 60 month lease which expires February 28, 2017. The operating lease includes escalating rental payments. The Company is recognizing the related rent expense on a straight line basis over the full 60 month term of the lease at the rate of $11,360 per month. As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company has recorded a deferred rent liability of $4,591 and $3,992, respectively.

The Company leases its office headquarters under a 36 month lease which expires June 30, 2015. The operating lease includes escalating rental payments. The Company is recognizing the related rent expense on a straight line basis over the full 36 month term of the lease at the rate $7,864 per month. As of December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2013, the Company has recorded a deferred rent liability of $11,065 and $12,412, respectively.

The Company leased office equipment under a capital lease arrangement. The term of the capital lease is 48 months and expires on September 30, 2016. The monthly lease payment is $1,025. The lease bears interest at approximately 16% per annum.

In October 2013, the Company purchased office equipment under a capital lease. The term of the capital lease is 36 months and it expires on September 30, 2016. The monthly lease payment is $299. The lease bears interest at approximately 9% per annum.

H. PATENTS

During the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded patent impairment charges of $240 and $10,223, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, amortization of patent costs totaled $9,703 and $23,905, respectively. The Company estimates that future amortization expense will be as follows:

Nine months ending September 30, 2014	$	25,252
Year ending September 30,
2015		33,795
2016		33,795

2018		33,461
2019		31,758
Thereafter		125,604
Total	$	317,460

I. NET LOSS PER SHARE

The Company’s basic and diluted loss per share are as follows: For the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the computation of dilutive net loss per share excluded options and warrants to purchase approximately 865,000 and 578,800 shares of common stock because their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.

J.	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date these financial statements were filed and determined there are no subsequent events that require disclosure.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s lead investigational therapy, Multikine ® (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection), is currently being tested in a Phase III clinical trial in advanced primary head and neck cancer. Multikine has been cleared by the regulators in eleven countries around the world, including the US. Multikine is also being used in a Phase I study with the US Naval Medical Center, San Diego under a Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) in HIV/HPV co-infected men and women with peri-anal warts.

Multikine (Leukocyte Interleukin, Injection) is the full name of this investigational therapy, which, for simplicity, is referred to in the remainder of this report as Multikine. Multikine is the trademark that the Company has registered for this investigational therapy, and this proprietary name is subject to FDA review in connection with the Company’s future anticipated regulatory submission for approval. Multikine has not been licensed or approved by the FDA or any other regulatory agency. Neither has its safety or efficacy been established for any use.

The Company also owns and is developing a pre-clinical technology called LEAPS (Ligand Epitope Antigen Presentation System).

All of the Company’s projects are under development. As a result, the Company cannot predict when it will be able to generate any revenue from the sale of any of its products.

Since inception, the Company has financed its operations through the sale of equity securities, convertible notes, loans and certain research grants. The Company’s expenses will likely exceed its revenues as it continues the development of Multikine and brings other drug candidates into clinical trials. Until such time as the Company becomes profitable, any or all of these financing vehicles or others may be utilized to assist the Company’s capital requirements.

Capital raised by the Company has been expended primarily for patent applications, debt repayment, research and development, administrative costs, and the construction of the Company’s laboratory facilities. The Company does not anticipate realizing significant revenues until it enters into licensing arrangements regarding its technology and know-how or until it receives regulatory approval to sell its products (which could take a number of years). As a result the Company has been dependent upon the proceeds from the sale of its securities to meet all of its liquidity and capital requirements and anticipates having to do so in the future.

The Company will be required to raise additional capital or find additional long-term financing in order to continue with its research efforts. The ability of the Company to complete the necessary clinical trials and obtain FDA approval for the sale of products to be developed on a commercial basis is uncertain. Ultimately, the Company must complete the development of its products, obtain the appropriate regulatory approvals and obtain sufficient revenues to support its cost structure. The Company believes that, counting its cash on hand and access to the capital markets established over the years, it will have enough capital to support its operations through year end.

The Company estimates the total cash cost of the Phase III trial, with the exception of the parts that will be paid by its licensees, Teva Pharmaceuticals and Orient Europharma, to be approximately $33,300,000. This is in addition to approximately $11,300,000 which has been paid as of December 31, 2013. This estimate is based on the information currently available in the Company’s contracts with the Clinical Research Organization responsible for managing the Phase III trial. This number can be affected by the speed of enrollment, foreign currency exchange rates and many other factors, some of which cannot be foreseen today. It is therefore possible that the cost of the Phase III trial will be higher than currently estimated.

In April 2013, the Company replaced the clinical research organization (CRO) running its Phase III clinical trial. This was necessary since the patient enrollment in the study dropped off substantially following a takeover of the CRO which caused most of the members of the CRO’s study team to leave the CRO. The Company has hired two CRO’s who will manage the global Phase III study; Aptiv Solutions and Ergomed who are both international leaders in managing oncology trials. Both CRO’s will help the Company expand the trial by 60-80 clinical sites globally. As of April 2013, the last update given by the Company, the study has enrolled 117 patients and has been conducted at 39 sites in 8 countries, including three centers in Israel where the Company’s partner Teva Pharmaceuticals has the marketing rights, and nine centers in Taiwan where the Company’s partner Orient Europhama has the marketing rights.

Under a co-development agreement, Ergomed will contribute up to $10 million towards the study where it will perform clinical services in exchange for a single digit percentage of milestone and royalty payments, up to a specified maximum amount, only from sales for head and neck cancer. Ergomed, a privately-held firm headquartered in Europe with global operations, has entered into five similar co-development agreements, including one with Genzyme (purchased by Sanofi in 2011 for over $20 billion). Ergomed will be responsible for the majority of the new patient enrollment since it has a novel model for clinical site management to accelerate patient recruitment and retention. For example, they have almost 25 physicians who can directly call on clinical sites to aid recruitment and retention. Some of the Ergomed physicians also have experience of being clinical investigators themselves. The Company believes that this interaction on a physician to physician level is what is needed to help physicians increase enrollment in the Multikine study.

During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company’s cash increased by approximately $13,452,000. Significant components of this increase include net proceeds from the sale of the Company’s stock of approximately $19,380,000 offset by net cash used to fund the Company’s regular operations, including its on-going Phase III clinical trial, of approximately $5,917,000, purchases of equipment of approximately $9,000 and payment on capital leases of approximately $3,000. During the three months ended December 31, 2012, the Company’s cash increased by approximately $6,795,000. Significant components of this increase include net proceeds from the sale of the Company’s stock of approximately $9,807,000 offset by net cash used to fund the Company’s regular operations, including its on-going Phase III clinical trial, of approximately $2,995,000, purchases of equipment of approximately $16,000 and payment on capital leases of approximately $1,000.

In December 2012, CEL-SCI sold 3,500,000 shares of its common stock for $10,500,000, or $3.00 per share, in a registered direct offering. The investors in this offering also received Series R warrants which entitle the investors to purchase up to 2,625,000 shares of CEL-SCI’s common stock. The Series R warrants may be exercised at any time before December 7, 2016 at a price of $4.00 per share. CEL-SCI paid Chardan Capital Markets, LLC, the placement agent for this offering, a cash commission of $682,500.

On October 11, 2013, the Company closed a public offering of units of common stock and Series S warrants at a price of $1.00 per unit for net proceeds of $16,400,000, net of underwriting discounts and commissions. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on October 11, 2018, and have an exercise price of $1.25. In November 2013, the underwriters purchased an additional 2,648,913 warrants pursuant to the overallotment option, for which the Company received net proceeds of $24,370.

On December 24, 2013, the Company closed a public offering of units of common stock and warrants at a price of $0.63 per unit for net proceeds of $2,790,000, net of underwriting discounts and commissions. Each unit consisted of one share of common stock and a warrant to purchase one share of common stock. The warrants are immediately exercisable and expire on October 11, 2018, and have an exercise price of $1.25. The underwriters exercised the option for the full 10% overallotment, for which the Company received net proceeds of approximately $279,000.

The Company incurred $185,508 in offering costs related to the two offerings which were charged to additional paid in capital and netted against the cash proceeds in the Statement of Cash Flows.

The October and December 2013 financings triggered the reset provision of the Series N warrants which resulted in the issuance of an additional 1,563,083 shares of common stock. The cost of additional shares issued was $1,117,447. This cost was recorded as a debit and a credit to additional paid-in capital and was deemed a dividend.

Results of Operations and Financial Condition

During the three months ended December 31, 2013, grant and other income increased by approximately $98,000 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012.

During the three months ended December 31, 2013, research and development expenses increased by approximately $1,095,000 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012. The Company is continuing the Phase III clinical trial and research and development fluctuates based on the activity level of the clinical trial.

During the three months ended December 31, 2013, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately $30,000 compared to the three months ended December 31, 2012. This decrease is primarily due to decreased costs of employee stock options.

The gain on derivative instruments of approximately $1,611,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 was the result of the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities during the period. This change was caused by fluctuations in the share price of the Company’s common stock.

Interest expense was approximately $43,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and consisted entirely of $42,000 in interest expense on the loan from the Company’s president and $1,000 in interest on capital leases. Interest expense was approximately $41,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and consisted entirely of interest expense on the loan from the Company’s president.

Research and Development Expenses

During the three month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s research and development efforts involved Multikine and LEAPS. The table below shows the research and development expenses associated with each project.

	Three months ended December 31,
	2013		2012

MULTIKINE	$	3,922,477	$	2,832,695
LEAPS		97,064		92,027

TOTAL	$	4,019,541	$	2,924,722

Clinical and other studies necessary to obtain regulatory approval of a new drug involve significant costs and require several years to complete. The extent of the Company’s clinical trials and research programs are primarily based upon the amount of capital available to the Company and the extent to which the Company has received regulatory approvals for clinical trials. The inability of the Company to conduct clinical trials or research, whether due to a lack of capital or regulatory approval, will prevent the Company from completing the studies and research required to obtain regulatory approval for any products which the Company is developing. Without regulatory approval, the Company will be unable to sell any of its products. Since all of the Company’s projects are under development, the Company cannot predict when it will be able to generate any revenue from the sale of any of its products.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations is based on its unaudited condensed financial statements. The preparation of these financial statements is based on the selection of accounting policies and the application of significant accounting estimates, some of which require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and notes. The Company believes some of the more critical estimates and policies that affect its financial condition and results of operations are in the areas of operating leases and stock-based compensation. For more information regarding the Company’s critical accounting estimates and policies, see Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s 2013 10-K report. The application of these critical accounting policies and estimates has been discussed with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

The Company has a loan from the president that bears interest at 15%. The Company does not believe that it has any significant exposures to market risk.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the direction and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, the Company has conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2013. The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its periodic reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including its principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching its desired disclosure control objectives. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2013.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management, with the participation of the Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated whether any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting occurred during the first three months of fiscal year 2014. There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2013.
