Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. Reports Third Q
Post# of 22759
Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE MKT VCT) (http://www.pvct.com), a development-stage oncology and dermatology biopharmaceutical company (“Provectus”), today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2014.
Third Quarter Results and Balance Sheet Highlights
At September 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents were $17,773,680 compared to $15,696,243 at December 31, 2013. The increase of approximately $2.1 million was due primarily to $4.3 million cash received from warrant and stock option exercises and $7.5 million net proceeds from the sale of our common stock in the nine months ended September 30, 2014, offset by $9.7 million of operating cash expenses.
Therefore, our ability to continue as a going concern is reasonably assured due to our cash and cash equivalents on hand at September 30, 2014. Given our current rate of expenditures and our ability to curtail or defer certain controllable expenditures, we do not anticipate needing to raise additional capital to further develop PV-10 on our own to treat locally advanced cutaneous melanoma, cancers of the liver, recurrent breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and other indications because we plan to strategically monetize PV-10 through appropriate regional license transactions, co-development partnerships, and license PH-10 for psoriasis and other related indications described as inflammatory dermatoses.
Shareholders’ equity at September 30, 2014 was $19,539,425. This compares to shareholders’ equity at December 31, 2013 of $6,628,666.

These statements reflect management’s current knowledge, assumptions, beliefs, estimates, and expectations and express management’s current views of future performance, results, and trends and may be identified by their use of terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “will,” and other similar terms. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to materially differ from those described in the forward-looking statements. Readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Such statements are made as of the date hereof, and we undertake no obligation to update such statements after this date.
Risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results to materially differ from those described in forward-looking statements include those discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (including those described in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, and in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014, and September 30, 2014), and the following:
• our determination, based on guidance from the FDA, whether to proceed with or without a partner with a phase 3 trial of PV-10 to treat locally advanced cutaneous melanoma and the costs associated with such a trial if it is necessary;
• our determination whether to license PV-10, our melanoma drug product candidate, and other solid tumors such as liver cancer, if such licensure is appropriate considering the timing and structure of such a license, or to commercialize PV-10 on our own to treat melanoma and other solid tumors such as liver cancer;
• our ability to license our dermatology drug product candidate, PH-10, on the basis of our phase 2 atopic dermatitis and psoriasis results, which are in the process of being further developed in conjunction with mechanism of action studies; and
• our ability to raise additional capital if we determine to commercialize PV-10 and/or PH-10 on our own, although our expectation is to be acquired by a prospective pharmaceutical or biotech concern prior to commercialization.
