PROSPECTUS SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights information set forth in greater detail elsewhere in this prospectus. It may not contain all the information that may be important to you. You should read this entire prospectus carefully, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4, the financial statements and the notes to the financial statements. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company,” “Generex,” “we,” “our,” and “us,” refer to Generex Biotechnology Corporation and its subsidiaries.

 

Our Company

 

We are engaged primarily in the research and development of drug delivery systems and technologies. Our primary focus at the present time is our proprietary technology for the administration of formulations of large molecule drugs to the oral (buccal) cavity using a hand-held aerosol applicator. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigen, we have expanded our focus to include immunomedicines incorporating proprietary vaccine formulations.

 

We believe that our buccal delivery technology is a platform technology that has application to many large molecule drugs and provides a convenient, non-invasive, accurate and cost-effective way to administer such drugs. We have identified several large molecule drugs as possible candidates for development, including estrogen, heparin, monoclonal antibodies, human growth hormone and fertility hormones, but to date have focused our development efforts primarily on one pharmaceutical product, Generex Oral-lyn™, an insulin formulation administered as a fine spray into the oral cavity using our proprietary hand-held aerosol spray applicator known as RapidMist™.

 

Our subsidiary, Antigen Express, concentrates on developing proprietary vaccine formulations that work by stimulating the immune system to either attack offending agents (i.e., cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses) or to stop attacking benign elements (i.e. self proteins and allergens). Our immunomedicine products are based on two platform technologies and are in the early stages of development. We continue clinical development of Antigen’s synthetic peptide vaccines designed to stimulate a potent and specific immune response against tumors expressing the HER-2/neu oncogene for patients with HER-2/neu positive breast cancer in a Phase II clinical trial and patients with prostate cancer and against avian influenza in two Phase I clinical trials. We also initiated an additional Phase I clinical trial in patients with either breast or ovarian cancer.  The synthetic vaccine technology has certain advantages for pandemic or potentially pandemic viruses, such as the H5N1 avian and H1N1 swine flu.  In addition to developing vaccines for pandemic influenza viruses, we have vaccine development efforts underway for seasonal influenza virus, HIV, HPV, melanoma, ovarian cancer, allergy and Type I diabetes mellitus. We have established collaborations with clinical investigators at academic centers to advance these technologies.

 

To date, we have received regulatory approval in Ecuador, India (subject to further study), Lebanon and Algeria for the commercial marketing and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™. We have previously submitted regulatory dossiers for Generex Oral-lyn™ in a number of other countries, including Bangladesh, Kenya, Jordan and Armenia. While we believe these countries will ultimately approve our product for commercial sale, we do not anticipate recognizing revenues in any of these jurisdictions in the next twelve months. No dossier related activities or product shipments have taken place during 2014, nor are any expected to these countries during the remainder of 2015.

 

In March 2008, we initiated Phase III clinical trials for this product in the U.S. with the first patient screening for such trials at a clinical study site in Texas in April 2008. Approximately 450 patients were enrolled at approximately 70 clinical sites around the world, including sites in the United States, Canada, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine and Ecuador. The final subjects completed the trial in August 2011. After appropriate validation, the data from approximately 450 patients was tabulated, reviewed and analyzed. Those results from the Phase III trial along with a comprehensive review and supplemental analyses of approximately 40 prior Oral-lyn clinical studies were compiled and submitted to the FDA in late December 2011 in a comprehensive package including a composite metanalysis of all safety data. We continue to have discussions with the FDA with respect to the pathway for regulatory approval, including any additional clinical or pharmacological studies that might be required to support regulatory approval or enhance marketing success. We do not currently plan to expend significant resources on additional clinical trials of Oral-lyn™ until after such time that we secure additional financing.

 

-1-

We are a development stage company. From inception through July 31, 2015, we have received only limited revenues from operations. We did not generate any revenue in fiscal 2015 or 2014.

 

As of July 31, 2015, our current cash position is not sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months. To continue operations, we will require additional funds to support our working capital requirements and any development activities, or will need to suspend operations. To continue operations, we will require additional funds to support our working capital requirements and any development activities, or will need to suspend operations. We are seeking various alternatives to ensure that we can meet some of our operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placement of our common stock, preferred stock offerings and offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments as well as through merger or acquisition opportunities. In addition, we are actively seeking strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures. We have sold non-essential real estate assets which were classified as Assets Held for Investment to augment its cash position. We cannot provide any assurance that we will obtain the required funding. Our inability to obtain required funding in the near future or our inability to obtain funding on favorable terms will have a material adverse effect on our operations and our strategic development plan for future growth. If we cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement our strategic development plan, our liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.

 

We operate in only one segment: the research and development of drug delivery systems and technologies for metabolic and immunological diseases.

 

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1997.  Our principal offices are located at 555 Richmond Street West, Suite 604, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, M5V 3B1. Our telephone number is (416) 364-2551 and our Internet address is www.generex.com. Information contained in, or accessible through, our website does not constitute a part of this prospectus.   Copies of our current and periodic reports filed with the SEC are available at the SEC Public Reference Room at 450 Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, and online at www.sec.gov.

RISK FACTORS

 

Investment in our company involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risks, together with the financial and other information contained in this prospectus. Each of the risks described in these sections and documents could adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects, and could result in a complete loss of your investment. This prospectus contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks mentioned above.

 

Our business and results of operations are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and other factors that you should be aware of, some of which are described below. The risks, uncertainties and other factors described below are not the only ones facing our company. Additional risks, uncertainties and other factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business operations.

 

Any of the risks, uncertainties and other factors could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations and could cause the trading price of our common stock to decline substantially.

 

Risks Related to Our Financial Condition

 

We will require additional financing to continue our operations.

 

As of April 30, 2015, our current cash position is not sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months based on the pace of our planned activities. To continue operations, we will require additional funds to support our working capital requirements and any expansion or other activities, or will need to significantly reduce our clinical trials and other planned activities or suspend operations. Management is seeking various alternatives to ensure that we can meet some of our operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placement of our common stock, preferred stock offerings and offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments as well as through merger or acquisition opportunities. The securities purchase agreement that we entered into on June 24, 2015 with certain investors limits the financing activities that we may undertake in the near future as it prohibits us from (i) issuing additional equity securities until 60 days after the effective date of a registration statement covering the resale of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and conversion of the preferred stock sold in each transaction and (ii) issuing additional debt or equity securities with a variable conversion or exercise price until June 24, 2016. In addition, management is actively seeking strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures. Management has sold non-essential real estate assets which were classified as Assets Held for Investment to augment its cash position.

 

We cannot provide any assurance that we will obtain the required funding. Our inability to obtain required funding in the near future or our inability to obtain funding on favorable terms will have a material adverse effect on our operations and our strategic development plan for future growth. If we cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement our strategic development plan, our liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.

 

We have a history of losses and will incur additional losses.

 

We are a development stage company with a limited history of operations, and do not expect sufficient revenues to support our operation in the immediately foreseeable future. We do not expect to receive significant revenues in Ecuador, Algeria and Lebanon where we have been approved for commercial sale in the next twelve months. While we have entered into a licensing and distribution agreement with a leading Indian-based pharmaceutical company and insulin distributor, we do not anticipate recognizing revenue from sales of Generex Oral-lyn™ in India in 2015, as our partner has to receive approval from the Indian regulatory authority before the product can be offered for commercial sale in India.

-4-

 

To date, we have not been profitable and our accumulated net loss available to shareholders was $371,806,772 at April 30, 2015. Our losses have resulted principally from costs incurred in research and development, including clinical trials, and from general and administrative costs associated with our operations. While we seek to attain profitability, we cannot be sure that we will ever achieve product and other revenue sufficient for us to attain this objective.

 

With the exception of Generex Oral-lyn™, which has received regulatory approval in Ecuador, India (subject to regulatory approval of a 2012 in-country study), Lebanon and Algeria, our product candidates are in research or early stages of pre-clinical and clinical development. We will need to conduct substantial additional research, development and clinical trials. We will also need to receive necessary regulatory clearances both in the United States and foreign countries and obtain meaningful patent protection for and establish freedom to commercialize each of our product candidates. We must also complete further clinical trials and seek regulatory approvals for Generex Oral-lyn™ in countries outside of Ecuador, India, Lebanon and Algeria. We cannot be sure that we will obtain required regulatory approvals, or successfully research, develop, commercialize, manufacture and market any other product candidates. We expect that these activities, together with future general and administrative activities, will result in significant expenses for the foreseeable future.

 

Our independent auditors have expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern as of July 31, 2014.

 

To date, we have not been profitable and our accumulated net loss available to shareholders was $371,806,772 at April 30, 2015, and our consolidated balance sheet reflected a stockholders’ deficiency of $7,721,676 at that date. We received a report from our independent auditors for the year ended July 31, 2014 that includes an explanatory paragraph describing an uncertainty as to Generex’s ability to continue as a going concern. We must secure financing to continue our operations.

 

Due to material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, our internal controls were determined not to be effective for the prior fiscal year ended July 31, 2012. Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls over financial reporting may not be effective in future periods as a result of existing or newly identified material weaknesses in internal controls.

 

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports and to effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide reasonable assurance with respect to our financial reports and effectively prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results could be harmed. Pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we are required to furnish a report by management on internal control over financial reporting, including management’s assessment of the effectiveness of such control. Internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements because of its inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error, the circumvention or overriding of controls, or fraud. Therefore, even effective internal controls can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. If we fail to maintain the adequacy of our internal controls, including any failure to implement required new or improved controls, or if we experience difficulties in their implementation, our business and operating results could be adversely impacted, we could fail to meet our reporting obligations, and our business and stock price could be adversely affected.

 

At July 31, 2012, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) and concluded that, subject to the inherent limitations identified in Item 9A of Part II of the Form 10-K filed on October 15, 2012, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the existence of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting because of inadequate segregation of duties over authorization, review and recording of transactions, as well as the financial reporting of such transactions. Our independent auditors issued an adverse attestation report regarding the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting at July 31, 2012.

 

We believe we have taken appropriate and reasonable steps to make the necessary improvements to remediate these deficiencies, however we cannot be certain that our remediation efforts will ensure that our management designs, implements and maintains adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future or that the changes made will be sufficient to address and eliminate the material weaknesses previously identified. Our

-5-

inability to remedy any additional deficiencies or material weaknesses that may be identified in the future could, among other things, have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition, as well as impair our ability to meet our quarterly, annual and other reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in a timely manner, and require us to incur additional costs or to divert management resources.

 

Our research and development and commercialization efforts may depend on entering into agreements with corporate collaborators.

 

Because we have limited resources, we have sought to enter into collaboration agreements with other pharmaceutical companies that will assist us in developing, testing, obtaining governmental approval for and commercializing products using our buccal delivery and immunomedicine technologies. We may be unable to achieve commercialization of any of our products until we obtain a large pharmaceutical partner to assist us in such commercialization efforts. To date, we have not entered into any such collaborative arrangements. Any collaborator with whom we may enter into such collaboration agreements may not support fully our research and commercial interests since our program may compete for time, attention and resources with such collaborator's internal programs. Therefore, these collaborators may not commit sufficient resources to our program to move it forward effectively, or that the program will advance as rapidly as it might if we had retained complete control of all research, development, regulatory and commercialization decisions.

 

Risks Related to Our Technologies

 

With the exception of Generex Oral-lyn™, our technologies and products are at an early stage of development and we cannot expect significant revenues in respect thereof in the foreseeable future.

 

We have no products approved for commercial sale at the present time with the exception of Generex Oral-lyn™ in Ecuador, Lebanon, Algeria and India (subject to regulatory approval of a 2012 in-country study). To be profitable, we must not only successfully research, develop and obtain regulatory approval for our products under development, but also manufacture, introduce, market and distribute them once development is completed or find a partner that can perform these activities on our behalf. We have yet to manufacture, market and distribute these products on a large-scale commercial basis, and we do not expect to receive revenues from product sales in the next twelve months. We may not be successful in one or more of these stages of the development or commercialization of our products, and/or any of the products we develop may not be commercially viable. Until we can establish that they are commercially viable products, we will not receive significant revenues from ongoing operations.

 

Until we receive regulatory approval to sell our pharmaceutical products in additional countries, our ability to generate revenues from operations may be limited and those revenues may be insufficient to sustain operations. Many factors impact our ability to obtain approvals for commercially viable products.

 

Our only pharmaceutical product that has been approved for commercial sale by drug regulatory authorities is our oral insulin spray formulation, and that approval was obtained in Ecuador, Lebanon, Algeria and India (subject to regulatory approval of a 2012 in-country study). We have initiated late stage clinical trials of Generex Oral-lyn™ at clinical trial sites in North America and other countries according to the initial Phase III clinical plan. The final subjects completed the trial in August 2011. After appropriate validation, the data from approximately 450 patients was tabulated, reviewed and analyzed. Those results from the Phase III trial along with a comprehensive review and supplemental analyses of approximately 40 prior Oral-lyn clinical studies were compiled and submitted to the FDA in late December 2011 in a comprehensive package including a composite metanalysis of all safety data. We continue to have discussions with the FDA with respect to the pathway for regulatory approval, including any additional clinical or pharmacological studies that might be required to support regulatory approval or enhance marketing success. We do not currently plan to expend significant resources on additional clinical trials of Oral-lyn™ until after such time that we secure additional financing.

 

Our immunomedicine products are in the pre-clinical stage of development, with the exception of a Phase II trial in human patients with stage II HER-2/neu positive breast cancer (U.S.), a Phase I trial in human patients with prostate cancer (Athens, Greece) completed in August 2009, a Phase I trial in human patients with breast or ovarian cancer (U.S.) and a Phase I trial in human volunteers of a peptide vaccine for use against the H5N1 avian influenza virus

-6-

(Beirut, Lebanon). Preliminary results from the Phase II breast cancer trial suggest a 46% reduction in breast cancer recurrence in low HER2 expressing tumors, together with an excellent safety profile. While preliminary results are promising, they are not statistically significant and final results could deviate. We announced completion of enrollment in the trial in January 2014 and expect completion of the trial and end-of-trial analysis to occur in the first calendar quarter of 2015.

 

Pre-clinical and clinical trials of our products, and the manufacturing and marketing of our technologies, are subject to extensive, costly and rigorous regulation by governmental authorities in the United States, Canada and other countries. The process of obtaining required regulatory approvals from the FDA and other regulatory authorities often takes many years, is expensive and can vary significantly based on the type, complexity and novelty of the product candidates. For these reasons, it is possible we will not receive regulatory approval for any prescription pharmaceutical product candidate in any countries other than Ecuador, Lebanon, Algeria and India.

 

In addition, we cannot be sure when or if we will be permitted by regulatory agencies to undertake additional clinical trials or to commence any particular phase of clinical trials. Because of this, statements in this prospectus or our reports filed with the SEC regarding the expected timing of clinical trials cannot be regarded as actual predictions of when we will obtain regulatory approval for any "phase" of clinical trials.

 

Delays in obtaining United States or other foreign approvals for our oral insulin product could result in substantial additional costs to us, and, therefore, could adversely affect our ability to continue operations. If regulatory approval is ultimately granted in any countries other than Ecuador, Lebanon, Algeria and India, the approval may place limitations on the intended use of the product we wish to commercialize, and may restrict the way in which we are permitted to market the product.

 

Due to legal and factual uncertainties regarding the scope and protection afforded by patents and other proprietary rights, we may not have meaningful protection from competition.

 

Our long-term success will substantially depend upon our ability to protect our proprietary technologies from infringement, misappropriation, discovery and duplication and avoid infringing the proprietary rights of others. Our patent rights and the patent rights of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies in general, are highly uncertain and include complex legal and factual issues. Because of this, our pending patent applications may not be granted. These uncertainties also mean that any patents that we own or will obtain in the future could be subject to challenge, and even if not challenged, may not provide us with meaningful protection from competition. Due to our financial uncertainties, we may not possess the financial resources necessary to enforce our patents. Patents already issued to us or our pending applications may become subject to dispute, and any dispute could be resolved against us.

 

Because a substantial number of patents have been issued in the field of alternative drug delivery and because patent positions can be highly uncertain and frequently involve complex legal and factual questions, the breadth of claims obtained in any application or the enforceability of our patents cannot be predicted. Consequently, we do not know whether any of our pending or future patent applications will result in the issuance of patents or, to the extent patents have been issued or will be issued, whether these patents will be subject to further proceedings limiting their scope, will provide significant proprietary protection or competitive advantage, or will be circumvented, invalidated or expire.

 

Also because of these legal and factual uncertainties, and because pending patent applications are held in secrecy for varying periods in the United States and other countries, even after reasonable investigation we may not know with certainty whether any products that we (or a licensee) may develop will infringe upon any patent or other intellectual property right of a third party. For example, we are aware of certain patents owned by third parties that such parties could attempt to use in the future in efforts to affect our freedom to practice some of the patents that we own or have applied for. Based upon the science and scope of these third-party patents, we believe that the patents that we own or have applied for do not infringe any such third-party patents; however, we cannot know for certain whether we could successfully defend our position, if challenged. We may incur substantial costs if we are required to defend our intellectual property in patent suits brought by third parties. These legal actions could seek damages and seek to enjoin testing, manufacturing and marketing of the accused product or process. In addition to potential liability for significant damages, we could be required to obtain a license to continue to manufacture or market the accused product or process.

Risks Related to Marketing of Our Potential Products

 

We may not become, or stay, profitable even if our pharmaceutical products are approved for sale.

 

Even if we obtain regulatory approval to market our oral insulin product outside of Ecuador, India, Lebanon and Algeria or to market any other prescription pharmaceutical product candidate, many factors may prevent the product from ever being sold in commercial quantities. Some of these factors are beyond our control, such as:

 

   • acceptance of the formulation or treatment by health care professionals and diabetic patients;
   • the availability, effectiveness and relative cost of alternative diabetes or immunomedicine treatments that may be developed by competitors; and
   • the availability of third-party (i.e. insurer and governmental agency) reimbursements.

 

We will not receive significant revenues from Generex Oral-lyn™ or any of our other pharmaceuticals products that may receive regulatory approval until we can successfully manufacture, market and distribute them in the relevant markets.

 

We have to depend upon others for marketing and distribution of our products, and we may be forced to enter into contracts limiting the benefits we may receive and the control we have over our products. We intend to rely on collaborative arrangements with one or more other companies that possess strong marketing and distribution resources to perform these functions for us. We may not be able to enter into beneficial contracts, and we may be forced to enter into contracts for the marketing and distribution of our products that substantially limit the potential benefits to us from commercializing these products. In addition, we will not have the same control over marketing and distribution that we would have if we conducted these functions ourselves.

 

We may not be able to compete with treatments now being marketed and developed, or which may be developed and marketed in the future by other companies.

 

Our products will compete with existing and new therapies and treatments. We are aware of a number of companies currently seeking to develop alternative means of delivering insulin, as well as new drugs intended to replace insulin therapy at least in part. We are also aware of a number of companies currently seeking to develop alternative means of enhancing and suppressing peptides. In the longer term, we also face competition from companies that seek to develop cures for diabetes and other malignant, infectious, autoimmune and allergic diseases through techniques for correcting the genetic deficiencies that underlie some of these diseases.

 

Numerous pharmaceutical, biotechnology and drug delivery companies, hospitals, research organizations, individual scientists and nonprofit organizations are engaged in the development of alternatives to our technologies. Some of these companies have greater research and development capabilities, experience, manufacturing, marketing, financial and managerial resources than we do. Collaborations or mergers between large pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies with competing drug delivery technologies could enhance our competitors’ financial, marketing and other resources. Developments by other drug delivery companies could make our products or technologies uncompetitive or obsolete. Accordingly, our competitors may succeed in developing competing technologies, obtaining FDA approval for products or gaining market acceptance more rapidly than we can.

 

Some of our most significant competitors, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Novo Nordisk, have discontinued development and/or sale of their inhalable forms of insulin. Unlike inhaled insulin formulations, Generex Oral-lyn™ is a buccally absorbed formulation with no residual pulmonary deposition.

 

If government programs and insurance companies do not agree to pay for or reimburse patients for our pharmaceutical products, our success will be impacted.

 

Sales of our oral insulin formulation in Ecuador, Lebanon, Algeria and India and our other potential pharmaceutical products in other markets will depend in part on the availability of reimbursement by third-party payers such as government health administration authorities, private health insurers and other organizations. Third-party payers

-8-

often challenge the price and cost-effectiveness of medical products and services. Governmental approval of health care products does not guarantee that these third-party payers will pay for the products. Even if third-party payers do accept our product, the amounts they pay may not be adequate to enable us to realize a profit. Legislation and regulations affecting the pricing of pharmaceuticals may change before our products are approved for marketing and any such changes could further limit reimbursement.

 

Risks Related to Potential Liabilities

 

We face significant product liability risks, which may have a negative effect on our financial condition.

 

The administration of drugs or treatments to humans, whether in clinical trials or commercially, can result in product liability claims whether or not the drugs or treatments are actually at fault for causing an injury. Furthermore, our pharmaceutical products may cause, or may appear to have caused, serious adverse side effects (including death) or potentially dangerous drug interactions that we may not learn about or understand fully until the drug or treatment has been administered to patients for some time. Product liability claims can be expensive to defend and may result in large judgments or settlements against us, which could have a severe negative effect on our financial condition. We maintain product liability insurance in amounts we believe to be commercially reasonable for our current level of activity and exposure, but claims could exceed our coverage limits. Furthermore, due to factors in the insurance market generally and our own experience, we may not always be able to purchase sufficient insurance at an affordable price. Even if a product liability claim is not successful, the adverse publicity and time and expense of defending such a claim may interfere with our business.

 

Risks Related to the Market for Our Common Stock

 

Our stock price is below $5.00 per share and is treated as a “penny stock”, which places restrictions on broker-dealers recommending the stock for purchase.

 

Our common stock is defined as “penny stock” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which we refer to as the Exchange Act, and the rules promulgated thereunder. The SEC has adopted regulations that define “penny stock” to include common stock that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. These rules include the following requirements:

 

broker-dealers must deliver, prior to the transaction a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market;
broker-dealers must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer and its registered representative;
broker-dealers must disclose current quotations for the securities;
if a broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealers presumed control over the market; and
a broker-dealer must furnish its customers with monthly statements disclosing recent price information for all penny stocks held in the customer’s account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

 

Additional sales practice requirements are imposed on broker-dealers who sell penny stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors. For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and must have received the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to sale. If our common stock remains subject to these penny stock rules these disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity in the secondary market for our common stock. As a result, fewer broker-dealers may be willing to make a market in our stock, which could affect a shareholder’s ability to sell their shares.

 

The price of our common stock may be affected by a limited trading volume, may fluctuate significantly and may not reflect the actual value of our business.

 

There may be a limited public market for our common stock on the OTCQB market, and there can be no assurance that an active trading market will continue. An absence of an active trading market could adversely affect our stockholders’ ability to sell our common stock in short time periods, or at all. Our common stock has experienced,

-9-

and is likely to experience in the future, significant price and volume fluctuations that could adversely affect the market price of our common stock without regard to our operating performance. In addition, we believe that factors, such as our sale of securities in connection with capital raising activities, could cause the price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Thus, the price at which shares of our common stock may trade from time to time may not reflect the actual value of our business or the actual value of our common stock.

 

From time to time, we may hire companies to assist us in pursuing investor relations strategies to generate increased volumes of investment in our common stock. Such activities may result, among other things, in causing the price of our common stock to increase on a short-term basis.

 

Furthermore, the stock market generally and the market for stocks of companies with lower market capitalizations and small biopharmaceutical companies, like us, have from time to time experienced, and likely will again experience significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of a particular company.  

 

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock

 

If an exemption under state securities laws is not available for resales of shares of common stock, state securities regulators have the authority to seek rescission of such resales and, in some instances, may seek restitution or disgorgement of amounts received on such resales.

 

Because the shares of common stock registered under our S-1 registration statements have not been registered or qualified for resale under the securities laws of any state, an exemption from registration or qualification under state law is necessary for compliance with state securities laws. Generex has taken no steps to register or qualify, nor seek an exemption for, the resale of the shares of common stock under the securities laws of any state. The availability of exemptions will depend on the laws of the particular state in which a holder of the shares resides and the circumstances under which such holder seeks to sell the shares. If an exemption is not available but a resale of the shares is effected, state securities laws give state securities regulators authority to seek rescission (or cancellation) of transactions involving sales of securities that are not registered, qualified or exempted and, in some instances, authority to require restitution or disgorgement of profits from the sales of such securities and to impose statutory interest or penalties on disgorged amounts. While we are not aware of any state securities regulator taking action with respect to the resales of shares of our common stock, we cannot provide any assurance that regulators will refrain from taking such action in the future.

 

Provisions of our Restated Certificate of Incorporation could delay or prevent the acquisition or sale of our business.

 

Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation permits our Board of Directors to designate new series of preferred stock and issue those shares without any vote or action by our stockholders. Such newly authorized and issued shares of preferred stock could contain terms that grant special voting rights to the holders of such shares that make it more difficult to obtain stockholder approval for an acquisition of our business or increase the cost of any such acquisition.

 

Provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may prohibit us from making required payments with respect to our Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock, which default may constitute a violation of our certificate of incorporation or a breach of our contractual obligations to the holders of our preferred stock.

 

We are incorporated in the State of Delaware and are subject to the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). Section 170 of the DGCL provides, among other things, that a Delaware corporation may declare and pay dividends upon shares of its capital stock out of its surplus, as defined in and computed in accordance with Sections 154 and 244 of the DGCL.  As of the date hereof, we have 500 shares of our Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock outstanding. As of the date hereof, we have sufficient surplus to make dividend payments with respect to our outstanding Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock, as well as sufficient surplus to make the make-whole payments that may be due to the holders of our Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock, should such make-whole payments be deemed a dividend

-10-

under the DGCL.  However, our surplus will decrease as we spend our capital on operational activities, unless our spending is offset by capital-raising transactions. If our surplus is less than then-due dividend payments, including make-whole payments if they are deemed a dividend under the DGCL, we will be prohibited by the DGCL from making the dividend or make-whole payment, which may constitute a violation of our certificate of incorporation or a breach of our contractual obligations to the holders of our Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Our recent equity financing will dilute current stockholders and could prevent the acquisition or sale of our business.

 

The equity financing transactions into which we have recently entered have and will dilute current stockholders. At June 30, 2015, there were 512,911,037 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants that we issued in a private placement in March 2008, and in the registered direct offerings in February 2012, August 2012, December 2012, June 2013, January 2014, March 2014 and June 2015. In addition, in connection with the private placements that closed on June 17, 2013, March 27, 2014 and June 24, 2015, an additional 79,666,666 shares of common stock are issuable upon conversion of the remaining Series E, F and G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock at June 30, 2015. Together the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the above-mentioned warrants and preferred stock represent approximately 72% of the shares of common stock outstanding at June 30, 2015. Assuming the holders of the warrants convert and exercise all of the warrants into shares of common stock, the number of shares of issued and outstanding common stock will increase significantly, and current stockholders will own a smaller percentage of the outstanding common stock of Generex. The issuance of shares of common stock pursuant to the warrants will also have a dilutive effect on earnings per share and may adversely affect the market price of the common stock.

 

In addition, the issuance of shares of common stock upon exercise of the warrants issued in the March 2008 private placement and the private placements in February 2012, August 2012, December 2012, June 2013, January 2014, March 2014 and June 2015, could have an anti-takeover effect because such issuance will make it more difficult for, or discourage an attempt by, a party to obtain control of Generex by tender offer or other means. The issuance of common stock upon the exercise of the warrants or conversion of convertible preferred stock will increase the number of shares entitled to vote, increase the number of votes required to approve a change of control of the company, and dilute the interest of a party attempting to obtain control of the company.

 

If we raise funds through one or more additional equity financings in the future, it will have a further dilutive effect on existing holders of our shares by reducing their percentage ownership. The shares may be sold at a time when the market price is low because we are in need of the funds. This will dilute existing holders more than if our stock price was higher. In addition, equity financings normally involve shares sold at a discount to the current market price. Most of our outstanding warrants have price protection provisions, which decrease the exercise price of the warrant and increase the number of shares which may be purchased upon exercise of the warrants, if we sell additional equity at an effective price per common share less than the current exercise price of the warrant. Therefore, equity financings at a low price per share will result in even more dilution to existing shareholders.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock in this offering. However, we may receive up to approximately $4.1 million upon exercise of the 273,122,185 warrants covered by this prospectus that have an exercise price of $0.015 per share, in the event the warrants are exercised for cash. We intend to use any proceeds from the exercise of warrants for general corporate and working capital purposes.

 

SELLING SECURITY HOLDERS

 

This prospectus relates to the resale of our common stock issued to certain consultants and placement agents, issuable upon exercise, of certain warrants issued in the June 24, 2015 offering, issuable upon conversion of shares of preferred stock issued in the June 24, 2015 offering, and issuable in lieu of the cash payment of dividends and “make-whole” payments on such preferred stock payable through June 24, 2018.

 

-12-

The following table, based upon information currently known by us, sets forth as of July 15, 2015: (i) the number of shares held of record or beneficially by the Selling Security Holders as of such date and assuming conversion or exercise (as the case may be) of all warrants held by the Selling Security Holders as of such date, (ii) the number of shares that may be offered under this prospectus, and (iii) a footnote reference to any material relationship between us and the Selling Security Holder. In addition, the sum of the shares listed in the “Shares That May Be Offered and Sold Hereby” column reflects the additional 22,410,000 shares of common stock which may be issued as payment for dividends on the Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock through June 24, 2018 and “make-whole payments” upon conversion of the Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock prior to June 24, 2018 each in an amount equal to $270 per $1,000 of stated value of such preferred stock, less the amount of all prior quarterly dividends paid thereon before the relevant conversion date.

 

Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC and includes voting or investment power with respect to shares of common stock. Unless otherwise indicated below, to our knowledge, all persons named in the table have sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock and other securities beneficially owned by them. The inclusion of any securities in this table does not constitute an admission of beneficial ownership for the person named below.

(1) Includes all shares beneficially owned by the Selling Security Holders as of July 15, 2015.  In certain cases, some of the shares may be deemed to be held by more than one of the Selling Security Holders and in such cases, these shares have only been included once in the totals at the bottom of the table above, such that the total of the columns “Beneficial Ownership Prior to this Offering” and “Beneficial Ownership After this Offering” are less than the sum of the individual line items in these columns.  See footnote 20 below.

 

(2) Includes shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants in connection with the June 24, 2015 offering and issuable upon conversion of the Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock issued on June 24, 2015.  The warrants and preferred stock contain exercise and conversion limitations providing that a holder thereof may not exercise or convert (as the case may be) to the extent (but only to the extent) that, if after giving effect to such conversion or exercise (as the case may be), the holder or any of its affiliates would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% or 9.99%, as applicable (the “Maximum Percentage”) of the outstanding

-13-

shares of common stock immediately after giving effect to such exercise or conversion (as the case may be). To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether a warrant or share of preferred stock shall be exercisable or convertible (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the holder) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to Generex for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be).

Accordingly, the number of shares of common stock set forth in the table as being registered for a Selling Security Holder may exceed the number of shares of common stock that the Selling Security Holder could own beneficially at any given time through its ownership of the warrants and preferred stock.  Additionally, for purposes of calculating the “Beneficial Ownership After This Offering,” the registered shares are being treated as though they were all sold on the same day, and therefore because of the foregoing conversion and exercise limitations, the number of shares reflected as being owned after the sale of the registered shares may be less than the shares underlying other remaining warrants, if any, held by the Selling Security Holder.  The number of shares offered by the Selling Security Holders in the table above reflects the estimated maximum number of shares issuable for dividends and "make-whole payments" on the Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock.   In the event such additional shares become issuable, the additional shares shall be allocated among the Selling Security Holders holding such warrants proportionally with their current holdings.  As there was only one security holder (Alpha Capital Anstalt) which participated in the Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock financing, all 11,250,000 additional dividend and “make-whole payment” shares have been allocated to this security holder. The incremental shares required for dividends and "make-whole payments" on the Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock due to the ratchet provisions on those securities have been allocated as follows in the table below, based on the current proportional holdings of the respective security holders:

Selling Security Holder Estimated maximum number of shares issuable for dividends and "make-whole payments"
Alpha Capital Anstalt 9,000,595
Momona Capital LLC 1,691,410
Lane Ventures, Inc.  832,864
Assameka Capital Inc.  9,686
Great North Capital Consultants, Inc.  617,524
Isles Capital, LLC  617,524
Zeiger Tower LLC  84,779
Michael Caridi  945,833
Total 13,800,215

(3) Assumes that the Selling Security Holders dispose of all the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus and do not acquire or dispose of any additional shares of common stock. The Selling Security Holders are not representing, however, that any of the shares covered by this prospectus will be offered for sale, and the Selling Security Holders reserve the right to accept or reject, in whole or in part, any proposed sale of shares.  We have entered into registration rights agreements with certain of the Selling Security Holders pursuant to we are required to file a resale registration statement for the shares underlying the warrants and Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock to enable the resale of such shares by such Selling Security Holder on a delayed or continuous basis under Rule 415 of the Securities Act. Pursuant to the terms of the Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock, we also may make dividend and “make-whole” payments with shares of our common stock.

(4) Includes 2,666,667 shares issued to Joseph Moscato (“Moscato”) pursuant to a finder’s fee agreement, as well as 1,350,000 shares of common stock held by or issuable to Moscato which were earned under a consulting agreement or previous finder’s fee agreements, as well as 4,471,525 shares of common stock held by or issuable to Seahawk Capital Partners Inc. (“Seahawk”) which were earned under a consulting agreement or previous finder’s fee agreements. Joseph Moscato and Michael Caridi are the principals of Seahawk and, as such, have voting and investment control over the securities beneficially owned by Seahawk.

Penny Stock

 

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Our stock is currently a “penny stock.” Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities’ laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in

-18-

such form as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide to the customer, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitably statement.  These disclosure requirements may have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock.

BUSINESS AND PROPERTY

 

Corporate History and Structure

 

We were incorporated in Delaware in September 1997 for the purpose of acquiring Generex Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Canadian corporation formed in November 1995 to engage in pharmaceutical and biotechnological research and development and other activities. Our acquisition of Generex Pharmaceuticals was completed in October 1997 in a transaction in which the holders of all outstanding shares of Generex Pharmaceuticals exchanged their shares for shares of our common stock.

 

In January 1998, we participated in a "reverse acquisition" with Green Mt. P. S., Inc., an inactive Idaho corporation formed in 1983. As a result of this transaction, our shareholders (the former shareholders of Generex Pharmaceuticals) acquired a majority (approximately 90%) of the outstanding capital stock of Green Mt., we

-19-

became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Green Mt., Green Mt. changed its corporate name to Generex Biotechnology Corporation ("Generex Idaho"), and we changed our corporate name to GB Delaware, Inc. Because the reverse acquisition resulted in our shareholders becoming the majority holders of Generex Idaho, we were treated as the acquiring corporation in the transaction for accounting purposes. Thus, our historical financial statements, which essentially represented the historical financial statements of Generex Pharmaceuticals, were deemed to be the historical financial statements of Generex Idaho.

 

In April 1999, we completed a reorganization in which we merged with Generex Idaho. In this transaction, all outstanding shares of Generex Idaho were converted into our shares, Generex Idaho ceased to exist as a separate entity, and we changed our corporate name back to "Generex Biotechnology Corporation." This reorganization did not result in any material change in our historical financial statements or current financial reporting.

 

Subsidiaries

 

Following our reorganization in 1999, Generex Pharmaceuticals Inc., which is incorporated in Ontario, Canada, remained as our wholly-owned subsidiary. All of our Canadian operations are performed by Generex Pharmaceuticals. Generex Pharmaceuticals is the 100% owner of 1097346 Ontario Inc., which is also incorporated in Ontario, Canada. In August 2003, we acquired Antigen Express, Inc., a Delaware incorporated company. Antigen is engaged in the research and development of technologies and immunomedicines for the treatment of malignant, infectious, autoimmune and allergic diseases. Antigen also does business under the names Generex Oncology and Generex Infectious Diseases.

 

We formed Generex (Bermuda), Inc., which is organized in Bermuda, in January 2001 in connection with a joint venture with Elan International Services, Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Elan Corporation, plc, to pursue the application of certain of our and Elan's drug delivery technologies, including our platform technology for the buccal delivery of pharmaceutical products. In December 2004, we and Elan agreed to terminate the joint venture. Under the termination agreement, we retained all of our intellectual property rights and obtained full ownership of Generex (Bermuda). Generex (Bermuda) does not currently conduct any business activities. We have additional subsidiaries incorporated in the U.S. and Canada which are dormant and do not carry on any business activities.

 

Overview of Business

 

We are engaged primarily in the research and development of drug delivery systems and technologies. Our primary focus at the present time is our proprietary technology for the administration of formulations of large molecule drugs to the oral (buccal) cavity using a hand-held aerosol applicator. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigen, we have expanded our focus to include immunomedicines incorporating proprietary vaccine formulations.

 

We believe that our buccal delivery technology is a platform technology that has application to many large molecule drugs and provides a convenient, non-invasive, accurate and cost-effective way to administer such drugs. We have identified several large molecule drugs as possible candidates for development, including estrogen, heparin, monoclonal antibodies, human growth hormone and fertility hormones, but to date have focused our development efforts primarily on one pharmaceutical product, Generex Oral-lyn™, an insulin formulation administered as a fine spray into the oral cavity using our proprietary hand-held aerosol spray applicator known as RapidMist™.

 

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigen, concentrates on developing proprietary vaccine formulations that work by stimulating the immune system to either attack offending agents (i.e., cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses) or to stop attacking benign elements (i.e., self proteins and allergens). Our immunomedicine products are based on two platform technologies and are in the early stages of development. We continue clinical development of Antigen’s synthetic peptide vaccines designed to stimulate a potent and specific immune response against tumors expressing the HER-2/neu oncogene for patients with HER-2/neu positive breast cancer in a Phase II clinical trial and patients with prostate cancer and against avian influenza in two Phase I clinical trials. We also initiated an additional Phase I clinical trial in patients with either breast or ovarian cancer.  The synthetic vaccine technology has certain advantages for pandemic or potentially pandemic viruses, such as the H5N1 avian and H1N1 swine flu.  In addition to developing vaccines for pandemic influenza viruses, we have vaccine development efforts underway for seasonal influenza virus, HIV, HPV, melanoma, ovarian cancer, allergy and Type I diabetes mellitus. We have established collaborations with clinical investigators at academic centers to advance these technologies.

To date, we have received regulatory approval in Ecuador, India (subject to regulatory approval of a 2012 in-country study), Lebanon and Algeria for the commercial marketing and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™. We have previously submitted regulatory dossiers for Generex Oral-lyn™ in a number of other countries, including Bangladesh, Kenya, Jordan and Armenia. While we believe these countries will ultimately approve our product for commercial sale, we do not anticipate recognizing revenues in any of these jurisdictions in the next twelve months. No dossier related activities or product shipments have taken place during fiscal 2014 or 2015, nor are any expected to these countries during the remainder of calendar year 2015. In March 2008, we initiated Phase III clinical trials for this product in the U.S. with the first patient screening for such trials at a clinical study site in Texas in April 2008. Approximately 450 patients were enrolled at approximately 70 clinical sites around the world, including sites in the United States, Canada, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine and Ecuador. The final subjects completed the trial in August 2011. After appropriate validation, the data from approximately 450 patients was tabulated, reviewed and analyzed. Those results from the Phase III trial along with a comprehensive review and supplemental analyses of approximately 40 prior Oral-lyn clinical studies were compiled and submitted to the FDA in late December 2011 in a comprehensive package including a composite metanalysis of all safety data. We continue to have discussions with the FDA with respect to the pathway for regulatory approval, including any additional clinical or pharmacological studies that might be required to support regulatory approval or enhance marketing success. We do not currently plan to expend significant resources on additional clinical trials of Oral-lyn™ until after such time that we secure sufficient additional financing. However, we have initiated a project with the University Health Network of the University of Toronto, and the University of Guelph, Ontario to enhance the formulation of Generex Oral-lyn™ in order to reduce the number of puffs required for prandial use. Early results in an animal study have been encouraging and we expect to release the final results in the third quarter of 2015.

 

In November 2008 we, together with our marketing partner Shreya Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., officially launched Generex Oral-lyn™ in India under marketing name of Oral Recosulin™. Each package of Oral Recosulin™ contains two canisters of our product along with one actuator. The product received regulatory price approval in India in January 2009. Per the requirements of the regulatory approval in India, an in-country clinical study must be completed in India with Oral Recosulin™ before commercial sales can commence. The field portion of the study was completed in the third calendar quarter of 2012.  Shreya has advised Generex that the dossier was submitted in December of 2012 to the Drugs Controller General (India) (DCGI), Central Drugs Standard Control Organization, Director General of Health Services, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Generex has provided additional, detailed scientific data to support the Shreya submission. We have not recognized any revenues from the sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ in India through fiscal year ended July 31, 2015.

 

In December 2008, we, together with our marketing partner Benta S.A., received an approval to market Generex Oral-lyn™ in Lebanon. The official product launch in Lebanon took place in May 2009. In May 2009, the Algerian health authorities granted us permission to import and sell Generex Oral-lyn™ for the treatment of diabetes in Algeria. The official product launch in Algeria took place in October 2009. To date, we have not recognized any revenue from the sales of Generex Oral-lyn™ in Algeria and very minimal revenues in Lebanon. We do not anticipate any revenues to be recognized from these jurisdictions in the next twelve months.

 

We face competition from other providers of alternate forms of insulin. Some of our most significant competitors, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Novo Nordisk, have discontinued development and/or sale of their inhalable forms of insulin. MannKind introduced a new pulmonary insulin which was approved by the FDA in 2014, and MannKind subsequently partnered with sanofi-aventis to market the product under the tradename of Afrezza.

 

Generex Oral-lyn™ is not an inhaled insulin; rather, it is a buccally absorbed formulation with no pulmonary deposition. We believe that our buccal delivery technology offers several advantages, including the ease of use, portability, avoidance of pulmonary inhalation and safety profile. Furthermore, insulin administered through the Generex Oral-lyn™ RapidMist™ technology is absorbed directly into the blood stream and not only acts rapidly, but returns to baseline quickly, thereby minimizing the chance of developing hypoglycemia.

 

Large pharmaceutical companies, such as Merck & Co., Inc., GlaxoSmithKline PLC, Novartis, Inc., MedImmune Inc. (a subsidiary of Astra-Zeneca, Inc.) and others, also compete against us in the oncology, immunomedicine and vaccine markets. These companies have competing experience and expertise in securing government contracts and grants to support research and development efforts, conducting testing and clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals to market products, as well as manufacturing and marketing approved products. As such, they are also considered significant competitors in these fields of pharmaceutical products and therapies. There are also many smaller companies which are pursuing similar technologies in these fields who are considered to be competitors of Generex.

We are a development stage company with a limited history of operations, and do not expect sufficient revenues to support our operation in the immediately foreseeable future. To date, we have not been profitable and our accumulated net loss available to shareholders was $371,806,772 at April 30, 2015. As of April 30, 2015, our current cash position is not sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months. To continue operations, we will require additional funds to support our working capital requirements and any development activities, or will need to suspend operations. Management is seeking various alternatives to ensure that we can meet some of our operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placement of our common stock, preferred stock offerings and offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments as well as through merger or acquisition opportunities. In addition, management is actively seeking strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures. Management has sold its non-essential real estate assets which were classified as Assets Held for Investment to augment its cash position. We cannot provide any assurance that we will obtain the required funding. Our inability to obtain required funding in the near future or our inability to obtain funding on favorable terms will have a material adverse effect on our operations and our strategic development plan for future growth. If we cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement our strategic development plan, our liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.

 

We operate in only one segment: the research and development of drug delivery systems and technologies for metabolic and immunological diseases.

 

Our Business Strategy

 

Our business model focuses on the research and development of diabetes, oncology and infectious diseases drugs.  This business model leverages the expertise of our management team, scientific advisory board and the history of our company. Our goal is to develop next generation drugs for diabetes, oncology and infectious disease by leveraging our buccal delivery technology to administer large and small molecule drugs, including insulin, and proprietary vaccine formulations based upon two Antigen platform technologies to provide innovative biopharmaceutical products that offer the potential for superior efficacy and safety over existing products.  To achieve these goals, the key elements of our strategy include:

 

  Completing any additional studies or clinical trials of Generex Oral-lyn™, which may be required in order to obtain regulatory approval in major and other jurisdictions;
     
 

Enhancing the formulation for Generex Oral-lyn™ to increase effectiveness and to improve the potential for new financing for additional clinical trials.

 

  Developing a proprietary portfolio of products for the treatment of diabetes through strategic partnerships licensing and acquisitions;

 

  A keystone of Generex’s strategy, announced at the annual meeting of stockholders in June 2011 is the proposed spin-out of Antigen Express as a separate company from Generex.  Management believes that this action would allow Antigen to establish value for its immunotherapeutic vaccine technologies separate from the Generex buccal drug delivery platform technologies.  The spin-out would be accomplished by the issuance of one or more dividends of Antigen Express stock to Generex stockholders;

 

  Completing the ongoing Phase II clinical trials of Antigen’s synthetic peptide vaccines designed to stimulate a potent and specific immune response against tumors expressing the HER-2/neu oncogene for patients with HER-2/neu positive breast cancer, conducting a Phase II prostate cancer trial and a Phase I trial in patients with breast or ovarian cancer;

 

  Conducting  further clinical trials of Antigen’s synthetic peptide vaccines against avian (H5N1) influenza and initiating clinical trial of such vaccines against swine (H1N1) influenza; and

  Exploring other applications for our RapidMist platform buccal technology; morphine, LWH, fentanyl (all of which have undergone Phase I clinical studies), as well as cell therapy for late stage diabetes.

 

Buccal Delivery Technology and Products

 

Our buccal delivery technology involves the preparation of proprietary formulations in which an active pharmaceutical agent is placed in a solution with a combination of absorption enhancers and other excipients classified “generally recognized as safe” ("GRAS") by the United States Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA") when used in accordance with specified quantities and other limitations. The resulting formulations are aerosolized with a pharmaceutical grade chemical propellant and are administered to patients using our proprietary RapidMist™ brand metered dose inhaler. The device is a small, lightweight, hand-held, easy-to-use aerosol applicator comprised of a container for the formulation, a metered dose valve, an actuator and dust cap. Using the device, patients self-administer the formulations by spraying them into the mouth. The device contains multiple applications, the number being dependent, among other things, on the concentration of the formulation. Absorption of the pharmaceutical agent occurs in the buccal cavity, principally through the inner cheek walls. In clinical studies of our flagship oral insulin product Generex Oral-lyn™, insulin absorption in the buccal cavity has been shown to be efficacious and safe.

 

Buccal Insulin Product – Generex Oral-Lyn™

 

Insulin is a hormone that is naturally secreted by the pancreas to regulate the level of glucose, a type of sugar, in the bloodstream. The term “diabetes” refers to a group of disorders that are characterized by the inability of the body to properly regulate blood glucose levels. When glucose is abundant, it is converted into fat and stored for use when food is not available. When glucose is not available from food, these fats are broken down into free fatty acids that stimulate glucose production. Insulin acts by stimulating the use of glucose as fuel and by inhibiting the production of glucose. In a healthy individual, a balance is maintained between insulin secretion and glucose metabolism.

 

There are two major types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes (juvenile onset diabetes or insulin dependent diabetes) refers to the condition where the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 5-10 percent of diabetes cases. It often occurs in children and young adults. Type 1 diabetics must take daily insulin injections, typically three to five times per day, to regulate blood glucose levels. Generex Oral-lyn™ provides a needle-free means of delivering insulin for these patients.

 

In Type 2 diabetes (adult onset or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus), the body does not produce enough insulin, or cannot properly use the insulin produced. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of the disease and accounts for 90-95 percent of diabetes cases. In addition to insulin therapy, Type 2 diabetics may take oral drugs that stimulate the production of insulin by the pancreas or that help the body to more effectively use insulin. Generex Oral-lyn™ provides a simple means of delivering needed insulin to this major cohort of individuals.

 

Studies in diabetes have identified a condition closely related to and preceding diabetes, called impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). People with IGT do not usually meet the criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus. They have normal fasting glucose levels but two hours after a meal their blood glucose level is far above normal. With the increase use of glucose tolerance tests the number of people diagnosed with this pre-diabetic condition is expanding exponentially. Per the 2013 Diabetes Atlas Update, published by the International Diabetes Federation (IDF), approximately 40 million people in the United States and more than 316 million people world-wide suffer from IGT. Generex Oral-lyn™ is an ideal solution to providing meal-time insulin to the millions of IGT sufferers. This therapeutic area is currently being investigated.

 

If not treated, diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney disease, nerve disease, amputations, heart disease and stroke. Each year, between 12,000 and 24,000 people suffer vision impairment or complete blindness because of diabetes. Diabetes is also the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (kidney failure), accounting for about 40 percent of new cases.

 

In addition, about 60-70 percent of people with diabetes have mild to severe forms of diabetic nerve damage, which, in severe forms, can lead to lower limb amputations. Diabetics are also two to four times more likely to have heart disease, which is present in 75 percent of diabetes-related deaths, and are two to four times more likely to suffer a stroke.

-23-

 

There is no known cure for diabetes. The IDF estimates that there are currently approximately 382 million diabetics worldwide per their 2013 Diabetes Atlas Update and is expected to affect over 592 million people by the year 2035. There are estimated to be over 37 million people suffering from diabetes in North America alone and diabetes is the second largest cause of death by disease in North America.

 

A substantial number of large molecule drugs (i.e., drugs composed of molecules with a high molecular weight and fairly complex and large spatial orientation) have been approved for sale in the United States or are presently undergoing clinical trials as part of the process to obtain such approval, including various proteins, peptides, monoclonal antibodies, hormones and vaccines. Unlike small molecule drugs, which generally can be administered by various methods, large molecule drugs historically have been administered predominately by injection. The principal reasons for this have been the vulnerability of large molecule drugs to digestion and the relatively large size of the molecule itself, which makes absorption into the blood stream through the skin inefficient or ineffective. The RapidMist technology provides a recognized and proved drug delivery system for the delivery of large molecules directly into the blood stream with the attendant advantages.

 

In May 2005, we received approval from the Ecuadorian Ministry of Public Health for the commercial marketing and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ for treatment of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. We have successfully completed the delivery and installation of a turnkey Generex Oral-lyn™ production operation at the facilities of PharmaBrand in Quito, Ecuador. The first commercial production run of Generex Oral-lyn™ in Ecuador was completed in May, 2006. While Ecuador production capability may be sufficient to meet the needs of South America, it is believed to be insufficient for worldwide production for future commercial sales and clinical trials.

 

On the basis of the test results in Ecuador and other pre-clinical data, we made an IND submission to Health Canada (Canada's equivalent to the FDA) in July 1998, and received permission from the Canadian regulators to proceed with clinical trials in September 1998. We filed an Investigational New Drug application with the FDA in October 1998, and received FDA approval to proceed with human trials in November 1998. Annual reports have been filed with the FDA each year since that time.

 

We began our clinical trial programs in Canada and the United States in January 1999. Between January 1999 and September 2000, we conducted clinical trials of our insulin formulation involving approximately 200 subjects with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and healthy volunteers. The study protocols in most trials involved administration of two different doses of our insulin formulation following either a liquid Sustacal meal or a standard meal challenge. The objective of these studies was to evaluate our insulin formulation's efficacy in controlling post-prandial (meal related) glucose levels. These trials demonstrated that our insulin formulation controlled post-prandial hyperglycemia in a manner comparable to injected insulin. In April 2003, a Phase II-B clinical trial protocol was approved in Canada. In September 2006, a Clinical Trial Application relating to our Generex Oral-lyn™ protocol for late-stage trials was approved by Health Canada. The FDA’s review period for the protocol lapsed without objection in July 2007.

 

In late April 2008, we initiated Phase III clinical trials in North America for Generex Oral-lyn™ with the first subject screening in Texas. Other clinical sites participating in the study were located in the United States (Texas, Maryland, Minnesota and California), Canada (Alberta), European Union (Romania, Poland and Bulgaria), Eastern Europe (Russia and Ukraine),) and Ecuador. Approximately 450 subjects were enrolled in the program at approximately 70 clinical sites around the world. The Phase III protocol called for a six-month trial with a six-month follow-up with the primary objective to compare the efficacy of Generex Oral-lyn™ and the RapidMist™ Diabetes Management System with that of standard regular injectable human insulin therapy as measured by HbA1c, in patients with Type-1 diabetes mellitus. The final subjects completed the trial in August 2011. After appropriate validation, the data from approximately 450 patients was tabulated, reviewed and analyzed. Those results from the Phase III trial along with a comprehensive review and supplemental analyses of approximately 40 prior Oral-lyn clinical studies were compiled and submitted to the FDA in late December 2011 in a comprehensive package including a composite metanalysis of all safety data. We continue to have discussions with the FDA with respect to the pathway for regulatory approval, including any additional clinical or pharmacological studies that might be required to support regulatory approval or enhance marketing success. We do not currently plan to expend significant resources on additional clinical trials of Oral-lyn™ until after such time that we secure additional financing. However we have undertaken a formulation enhancement project with the University Health Network at the University of Toronto and the University of Guelph, Ontario to increase the amount of insulin reaching the blood stream. Preliminary results from an animal study are encouraging,

-24-

 

We engaged a global clinical research organization to provide many study related site services, including initiation, communication with sites, project management and documentation; a global central lab service company to arrange for the logistics of kits and blood samples shipment and testing; an Internet-based clinical electronic data management company to assist us with global data entry, project management and data storage/processing of the Phase III clinical trial and regulatory processes. We contracted with our third-party manufacturers to produce sufficient quantities of the RapidMist™ components, the insulin, and the raw material excipients required for the production of clinical trial batches of Generex Oral-lyn™.

 

As described above, we have obtained regulatory approval for the commercial marketing and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ in Ecuador, India (subject to regulatory approval of a 2012 in-country study), Lebanon and Algeria.

 

Other Potential Buccal Products

 

We have currently ongoing discussions regarding possible research collaborations with various pharmaceutical companies concerning use of our large molecule drug delivery technology with other compounds Memorandums of Understanding have been signed with two companies for the testing of RapidMist technology with both Leuprolide and medical marijuana and clinical work is expected to commence in the latter half of 2015.

 

Immunomedicine Technology and Products

 

Our wholly-owned subsidiary Antigen Express is developing proprietary vaccine formulations based upon two platform technologies that were discovered by its founder, the Ii-Key hybrid peptides and Ii-Suppression. These technologies are applicable for either antigen-specific immune stimulation or suppression, depending upon the dosing and formulation of its products. Using active stimulation, we are focusing on major diseases such as breast, prostate and ovarian cancer, melanoma, influenza (including H5N1 avian and H1N1 swine flu) and HIV. Autoimmune diseases such as diabetes and multiple sclerosis are the focus of our antigen-specific immune suppression work.

 

Antigen’s immunotherapeutic vaccine AE37 is currently in Phase II clinical trials for patients with HER-2/neu positive breast cancer. The trial is being conducted with the United States Military Cancer Institute's (USMCI) Clinical Trials Group and will examine the rate of relapse in patients with node-positive or high-risk node-negative breast cancer after two years. The study is randomized and will compare patients treated with AE37 plus the adjuvant GM-CSF versus GM-CSF alone. The Phase II trial follows a Phase I trial that demonstrated safety, tolerability, and immune stimulation of the AE37 vaccine in breast cancer patients.

 

Based on positive results in trials of the AE37 vaccine in breast cancer patients, we entered into an agreement in August 2006 with the Euroclinic, a private center in Athens, Greece, to commence clinical trials with the same compound as an immunotherapeutic vaccine for prostate cancer. A Phase I trial involving 29 patients was completed in August 2009, which similarly showed safety, tolerability and induction of a specific immune response. Agreements, as well as a protocol, are in place for initiation of a Phase II clinical trial once additional funding is available.

 

The same technology used to enhance immunogenicity is being applied in the development of a synthetic peptide vaccine for H5N1 avian influenza and the 2009 H1N1 swine flu. In April 2007, a Phase I clinical trial of Antigen’s proprietary peptides derived from the hemagglutinin protein of the H5N1 avian influenza virus was initiated in healthy volunteers in the Lebanese-Canadian Hospital in Beirut, Lebanon. We have completed the first portion of the Phase I trial. Modified peptide vaccines for avian influenza offer several advantages over traditional egg-based or cell-culture based vaccines. Modified peptide vaccines can be manufactured by an entirely synthetic process which reduces cost and increases both the speed and quantity of vaccine relative to egg- or cell-culture based vaccines. Another advantage is that the peptides are derived from regions of the virus that are similar enough in all H5N1 and H1N1 virus strains such that they would not have to be newly designed for the specific strain to emerge in a pandemic.

-25-

 

A Physician’s Investigational New Drug (“IND”) application for the Phase I and Phase II trials in patients with stage II HER-2/neu positive breast cancer has been filed with the FDA. The Phase I trial was completed at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and the Phase II trial is taking place at 13 sites, including 11 in the U.S., one in Germany and one in Greece. A Physician’s Investigational New Drug application for a Phase I trial in patients with breast or ovarian cancer also has been filed with the FDA and this Phase I trial is being conducted in Dallas, Texas at the Mary Crowley Cancer Center. Applications were filed and approvals obtained for a Phase I prostate cancer trial using AE37 in Athens, Greece from the Hellenic Organization of Drugs, and this Phase I trial was completed in August 2009. The Ministry of Health in Lebanon gave approval for Phase I trial of our experimental H5N1 prophylactic vaccine in Beirut, Lebanon following submission of an application. All other immunomedicine products are in the pre-clinical stage of development.

 

Government Regulation

 

Our research and development activities and the manufacturing and marketing of our pharmaceutical products are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA in the United States, Health Canada in Canada and comparable designated regulatory authorities in other countries. Among other things, extensive regulations require us to satisfy numerous conditions before we can bring products to market. While these regulations apply to all competitors in our industry, having a technology that is unique and novel extends the requisite review period by the various divisions within the FDA and other regulators. Also, other companies in our industry are not limited primarily to products which still need to be approved by government regulators, as we are now.

 

If requisite regulatory approvals are not obtained and maintained, our business will be substantially harmed. In many cases, we expect that extant and prospective development partners will participate in the regulatory approval process. The following discussion summarizes the principal features of food and drug regulation in the United States and other countries as they affect our business.

 

United States

 

All aspects of our research, development and foreseeable commercial activities relating to pharmaceutical products are subject to extensive regulation by the FDA and other regulatory authorities in the United States. United States federal and state statutes and regulations govern, among other things, the testing, manufacturing, safety, efficacy, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of pharmaceutical products. The regulatory approval process, including clinical trials, usually takes several years and requires the expenditure of substantial resources. If regulatory approval of a product is granted, the approval may include significant limitations on the uses for which the product may be marketed.

 

The steps required before a pharmaceutical product may be marketed in the United States include:

 

  • Conducting appropriate pre-clinical laboratory evaluations, including animal studies, in compliance with the FDA’s Good Laboratory Practice (“GLP”) requirements, to assess the potential safety and efficacy of the product, and to characterize and document the product’s chemistry, manufacturing controls, formulation and stability;

 

  • Submitting the results of these evaluations and tests to the FDA, along with manufacturing information, analytical data, and protocols for clinical studies, in an IND Application, and receiving approval from the FDA that the clinical studies proposed under the IND are allowed to proceed;

 

  • Obtaining approval of Institutional Review Boards (“IRBs”) to administer the product to humans in clinical studies; conducting adequate and well-controlled human clinical trials in compliance with the FDA’s Good Clinical Practice (“GCP”) requirements that establish the safety and efficacy of the product candidate for the intended use;

 

  • Developing manufacturing processes which conform to the FDA’s current Good Manufacturing Practices, or cGMPs, as confirmed by FDA inspection;

 

-26-

  • Submitting to the FDA the results of pre-clinical studies, clinical studies, and adequate data on chemistry, manufacturing and control information to ensure reproducible product quality batch after batch, in an NDA or Biologics License Application (“BLA”); and

 

  • Obtaining FDA approval of the NDA, including inspection and approval of the product manufacturing facility as compliant with cGMP requirements, prior to any commercial sale or shipment of the pharmaceutical agent.

 

Quality and pre-clinical tests and studies include: laboratory evaluation of Drug Substance and Drug Product chemistry, formulation/manufacturing, and stability profiling, as well as a large number of animal studies to assess the potential safety and efficacy of each product. Typically, the pre-clinical studies consist of the following:

 

Pharmacology

 

• Primary and Secondary Pharmacodynamics

• Safety Pharmacology

• Other Pharmacodynamics

 

Pharmacokinetics (“PK”)

 

Single and Multiple Dose Kinetics

• Tissue Distribution

Metabolism

PK Drug Interactions

Other PK studies

 

Toxicology

 

• Single and Multiple Dose Toxicity

• Genotoxicity

• Carcinogenicity

• Reproduction Toxicity

• Other Toxicity

 

The results of the quality and pre-clinical tests/studies, in addition to any non-clinical pharmacology, are submitted to the FDA along with the initial clinical study protocol (see descriptive of process below) as part of the initial IND and are reviewed by the FDA before the commencement of human clinical trials. Unless the FDA objects to it, the IND becomes effective 30 days following its receipt by the FDA. The FDA reviews all protocols, protocol amendments, adverse event reports, study reports, and annual reports in connection with a new pharmacological product.

 

The IND for our oral insulin formulation became effective in November 1998. Amendments are also subsequently filed as new Clinical Studies and their corresponding Study Protocols are proposed. In July 2007, we received a no objection clearance to initiate our Phase III study protocol for our oral insulin product. The Physician’s Investigational New Drug Application for the Phase 1 and Phase II trial of AE37, Antigen’s synthetic peptide vaccine designed to stimulate a potent and specific immune response against tumors expressing the HER-2/neu oncogene, in patients with stage II HER-2/neu positive breast cancer became effective in March 2006. 

 

Clinical trials involve the administration of a new drug to humans under the supervision of qualified investigators. The protocols for the trials must be submitted to the FDA as part of the IND. Also, each clinical trial must be approved and conducted under the auspices of an IRB, which considers, among other things, ethical factors, the safety of human subjects, and the possible liability of the institution conducting the clinical trials.

 

Clinical trials are typically conducted in three sequential phases (Phase I, Phase II, and Phase III), but the phases may overlap. Phase I clinical trials test the drug on healthy human subjects for safety and other aspects, but usually not effectiveness. Phase II clinical trials are conducted in a limited patient population to gather evidence about the

-27-

efficacy of the drug for specific purposes, to determine dosage tolerance and optimal dosages, and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks. When a compound has shown evidence of efficacy and acceptable safety in Phase II evaluations, Phase III clinical trials are undertaken to evaluate and confirm clinical efficacy and to test for safety in an expanded patient population at clinical trial sites in different geographical locations.  The FDA and other regulatory authorities require that the safety and efficacy of therapeutic product candidates be supported through at least two adequate and well-controlled Phase III clinical trials (known as “Pivotal Trials”).  The successful completion of Phase III clinical trials is a mandatory step in the approval process for the manufacturing, marketing, and sale of products.

 

In the United States, the results of quality, pre-clinical studies and clinical trials, if successful, are submitted to the FDA in an NDA to seek approval to market and commercialize the drug product for a specified use. The NDA is far more specific than the IND and must also include proposed labeling and detailed technical sections based on the data collected. The FDA is governed by the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (“PDUFA”) regarding response time to the application, which is generally 12 months (and shorter for a priority application). It may deny a NDA if it believes that applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied. The FDA also may require additional clarifications on the existing application or even additional testing for safety and efficacy of the drug. We cannot be sure that any of our proposed products will receive FDA approval. The multi-tiered approval process means that our products could fail to advance to subsequent steps without the requisite data, studies, and FDA approval along the way. Even if approved by the FDA, our products and the facilities used to manufacture our products will remain subject to review and periodic inspection by the FDA.

 

To supply drug products for use in the United States, foreign and domestic manufacturing facilities must be registered with, and approved by, the FDA. Manufacturing facilities must also comply with the FDA's cGMPs, and such facilities are subject to periodic inspection by the FDA. Products manufactured outside the United States are inspected by regulatory authorities in those countries under agreements with the FDA.  To comply with cGMPs, manufacturers must expend substantial funds, time and effort in the area of production and quality control.  The FDA stringently applies its regulatory standards for manufacturing. Discovery of previously unknown problems with respect to a product, manufacturer or facility may result in consequences with commercial significance. These include restrictions on the product, manufacturer or facility, suspensions of regulatory approvals, operating restrictions, delays in obtaining new product approvals, withdrawals of the product from the market, product recalls, fines, injunctions and criminal prosecution.

 

One final hurdle that is closely associated with the cGMP inspections is the pre-approval inspection that the FDA carries out prior to the issuance of a marketing license. FDA inspectors combine cGMP compliance with a review of research and development documents that were used in the formal NDA. A close inspection of historic data is reviewed to confirm data and to demonstrate that a company has carried out the activities as presented in the NDA. This is generally a long inspection and requires a team of individuals from the company to “host” the FDA inspector(s).

 

Foreign Countries

 

Before we are permitted to market any of our products outside of the United States, those products will be subject to regulatory approval by foreign government agencies similar to the FDA.  These requirements vary widely from country to country. Generally, however, no action can be taken to market any drug product in a country until an appropriate application has been submitted by a sponsor and approved by the regulatory authorities in that country. Again, similar to the FDA, each country will mandate a specific financial consideration for the Marketing Application dossiers being submitted. Although an important consideration, FDA approval does not assure approval by other regulatory authorities. The current approval process varies from country to country, and the time spent in gaining approval varies from that required for FDA approval. The Canadian regulatory process is substantially similar to that of the United States. To date, we have received the following foreign regulatory approval for our product candidates:

 

We obtained regulatory approval to begin clinical trials of our oral insulin formulation in Canada in November 1998. In April 2003, we received approval of an Oral-lyn™ Phase II-B clinical trial protocol in Canada. In September 2006 Health Canada approved our Clinical Trial Application in respect of our proposed Generex Oral-lyn™ protocol for late-stage trials; we expect to use the data collected from these trials in the New Drug Submission that will be prepared concurrently with the progression of the late-stage trials.

 

-28-

We obtained regulatory approval in Canada to begin clinical trials of our buccal morphine product in March 2002 and our fentanyl product in October 2002. 

 

In May 2005, we received approval from the Ecuadorian Ministry of Public Health for the commercial marketing and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ for treatment of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. To date we have not recognized any revenue from the sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ in Ecuador and we are not currently expending any resources to further commercialization in this country.

 

In November 2007, we obtained approval for the importation and commercial marketing and sale in India of Generex Oral-lyn™ under the marketing name of Oral Recosulin™ from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), Directorate General of Health Services, Government of India, which is responsible for authorizing marketing approval of all new pharmaceutical products in India. Per the requirements of the approval, an in-country clinical study must be completed in India with Oral Recosulin™ before commercial sales can commence. The field portion of the study was completed in the third calendar quarter of 2012.  Shreya has advised Generex that the dossier was submitted in December of 2012 to the Drugs Controller General (India) (DCGI), Central Drugs Standard Control Organization, Director General of Health Services, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Generex has provided additional, detailed scientific data to support the Shreya submission. Generex and Shreya are awaiting a meeting with the DCGI.

 

Applications were filed and approvals obtained in May 2007 for a Phase I prostate cancer trial using AE37 in Athens, Greece from the Hellenic Organization of Drugs. This Phase I trial was completed in August 2009.

 

The Ministry of Health in Lebanon gave approval for the Phase I trial of our experimental H5N1 prophylactic vaccine in Beirut, Lebanon following submission of an application. In December 2008, we, together with our marketing partner Benta SA., received an approval to market Generex Oral-lyn™ in Lebanon. The official product launch in Lebanon took place in May 2009. We are not currently expending any resources to further commercialization in this country.

 

In May 2009, the Algerian health authorities granted us permission to import and sell Generex Oral-lyn™ for the treatment of diabetes in Algeria. To date we have not recognized any revenue from the sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ in Algeria and we are not currently expending any resources to further commercialization in this country.

 

Marketing and Distribution

 

We market our products through collaborative arrangements with companies that have well-established pharmaceutical marketing and distribution capabilities, including expertise in the regulatory approval processes in their respective jurisdictions.

 

We have entered into licensing and distribution agreements with a number of multinational distributors to assist us with the process of gaining regulatory approval for the registration, marketing, distribution, and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ in countries throughout the world, including:

 

Shreya Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd. for India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar;

 

Adcock Ingram Limited and Adcock Ingram Healthcare (Pty) Ltd. for South Africa, Lesotho, Swaziland, Bostwana; Nambia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe;

E&V Alca Distribution Corp. for Albania, Montenegro, and Kosovo;

-29-

SciGen Ltd. for China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam;

Pharmaris Perus S.A.C. for Peru;
MediPharma SA for Argentina;
PMG S.A. for Chile;
Dong Sung Pharm. Co. Ltd. for South Korea; and
 Benta S.A. for Lebanon.

 

Under these licensing and distribution agreements excluding the one with Dong Sung Pharm Co., we will not receive an upfront license fee, but the distributor will bear any and all costs associated with the procurement of governmental approvals for the sale of Generex Oral-Lyn™, including any clinical and regulatory costs. We possess the worldwide marketing rights to our oral insulin product. We do not currently plan to expend significant resources on additional clinical trials or to further the commercialization of Generex Oral-lyn™ until after such time that we secure additional financing.

 

Manufacturing

 

In December 2000, we completed a pilot manufacturing facility for Generex Oral-lyn™ in Toronto, Canada in the same commercial complex in which our laboratories were located. In the first quarter of fiscal year 2006, we initiated a scale-up commercial production run of several thousand canisters of Generex Oral-lyn™ at this facility. We have sold the property which housed the manufacturing and laboratory facility in July 2012 and expect to engage contract manufacturers in order to manufacture any product in significant quantities for any future commercial sales and clinical trials.

 

In March 2006, we successfully completed the delivery and installation of a turnkey Generex Oral-lyn™ filling operation at the facilities of PharmaBrand, in Quito, Ecuador for the purposes of commercial supply and sales in Ecuador and other countries that can procure registrations and import licenses. We do not currently have a manufacturing agreement with PharmaBrand and are not currently manufacturing product at this facility.

 

In anticipation of undertaking late-stage clinical trials of Generex Oral-lyn™ in Canada, we entered into an agreement with Cardinal Health PTS, LLC, now known as Catalent Pharma Solutions (Catalent), in June 2006, pursuant to which Catalent manufactured clinical trial batches of Generex Oral-lyn™. Pursuant to pre-extant supply arrangements, our third-party suppliers had been manufacturing the quantities of the RapidMist™ brand metered dose inhaler components (valves, canisters, actuators, and dust caps), the insulin, and the formulary excipients that were required for the Catalent production. In addition, our Regulatory Affairs, Quality Control and R&D personnel have worked with Catalent to prepare and validate the Catalent production processes. We are not currently manufacturing product under this agreement and we expect that any agreements regarding the manufacturing of Generex Oral-lyn™ for any future trials or commercial sales will need to be renegotiated at such time.

 

Our subsidiary Antigen leases office space in Worcester, Massachusetts, which is sufficient for its present needs.

 

Raw Material Supplies

 

The excipients used in our formulation are available from numerous sources in sufficient quantities for clinical purposes, and we believe that they will be available in sufficient quantities for commercial purposes when required, although we have not yet attempted to secure a guaranteed commercial supply of any such products. Components suitable for our RapidMist™ brand metered dose inhaler are available from a limited number of potential suppliers, as is the chemical propellant used in the device. The components which now comprise the device are expected to be used in the commercial version of our insulin product in Ecuador, India, Lebanon and Algeria. We have secured supply arrangements with manufacturers for each of the components and the propellant that we presently use in our RapidMist™ brand metered dose inhaler for commercial quantities of such components. All such suppliers are prominent, reputable and reliable suppliers to the pharmaceutical industry. Because we now have a single supplier for many of these, however, we are more vulnerable to supply interruptions than would be the case if we had multiple suppliers for each component. We do not believe that the risk of supply for proprietary raw materials or device components is unusual in the pharmaceutical industry.

Insulin is available worldwide from multiple sources. We do not currently have any agreements for the long-term supply of insulin, but we expect that we will be readily able to negotiate such an agreement before further clinical trials or commercial sales commence.

 

Intellectual Property

 

We hold a number of patents in the United States and foreign countries covering our buccal and other delivery technologies. We also have developed brand names and trademarks for products in appropriate areas. We consider the overall protection of our patent, trademark and other intellectual property rights to be of material value and acts to protect these rights from infringement.

 

Patents are a key determinant of market exclusivity for most branded pharmaceutical products. Protection for individual products or technologies extends for varying periods, in accordance with the expiration dates of patents in the various countries. The protection afforded, which may also vary from country to country, depends upon the type of patent, its scope of coverage and the availability of meaningful legal remedies in the country.

 

We currently have five issued U.S. patents and one pending U.S. patent applications pertaining to various aspects of drug delivery technology, including oral administration of macromolecular formulations (such as insulin) as well as pain relief medications such as morphine and fentanyl. We currently hold eleven issued Canadian patents and one pending Canadian patent applications also relating to various aspects of drug delivery technology. We also hold eleven issued patents and one pending patent applications covering our drug delivery technology in jurisdictions other than the U.S. and Canada, including Brazil, Argentina, Israel, Australia and Europe.

 

The expiration dates of the U.S. issued patents range from 2016 to 2022. The expiration dates of the patents issued in Canada range from 2015 to 2021. The expiration dates of the patents issued in other jurisdictions range from 2015 to 2028.

 

Our subsidiary Antigen Express currently holds nine issued U.S. patents and twenty-two other foreign patents.  There are also four pending patent applications worldwide concerning technology for modulating the immune system via activation of antigen-specific helper T lymphocytes. Dr. Robert Humphreys, a retired officer of Antigen, is the listed inventor or co-inventor on many of these patents and patent applications.

 

The expiration dates of the Antigen U.S. issued patents range from 2016 to 2031.  The expiration dates of the patents issued in other jurisdictions range from 2017 to 2023.

 

We possess the worldwide manufacturing and marketing rights to our oral insulin product.

 

Our long-term success will substantially depend upon our ability to obtain patent protection for our technology and our ability to protect our technology from infringement, misappropriation, discovery and duplication. We cannot be sure that any of our pending patent applications will be granted, or that any patents which we own or obtain in the future will fully protect our position. Our patent rights and the patent rights of biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies in general, are highly uncertain and include complex legal and factual issues. We believe that our existing technology and the patents which we hold or for which we have applied do not infringe anyone else's patent rights. We believe our patent rights will provide meaningful protection against others duplicating our proprietary technologies. We cannot be sure of this, however, because of the complexity of the legal and scientific issues that could arise in litigation over these issues. See the discussion under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “Legal Proceedings” in this prospectus.

 

We also rely on trade secrets and other unpatented proprietary information. We seek to protect this information, in part, by confidentiality agreements with our employees, consultants, advisors and collaborators.

 

Competition

 

We expect that products based upon our buccal delivery technology and any other products that we may develop will compete directly with products developed by other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, universities, government agencies and public and private research organizations.

-31-

 

Products developed by our competitors may use a different active pharmaceutical agent or treatment to treat the same medical condition or indication as our product or may provide for the delivery of substantially the same active pharmaceutical ingredient as our products using different methods of administration. For example, a number of pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are engaged in various stages of research, development and testing of alternatives to insulin therapy for the treatment of diabetes, as well as new methods of delivering insulin. These methods, including nasal, transdermal, needle-free (high pressure) injection and pulmonary, may ultimately successfully deliver insulin to diabetic patients. Some biotechnology companies also have developed different technologies to enhance the presentation of peptide antigens. Some of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater scientific research and product development capabilities, as well as financial, marketing and human resources, than we do.

 

Where the same or substantially the same active ingredient is available using alternative delivery means or the same or substantially the same result is achievable with a different treatment or technology, we expect that competition among products will be based, among other things, on product safety, efficacy, ease of use, availability, price, marketing and distribution. When different active pharmaceutical ingredients are involved, these same competitive factors will apply to both the active agent and the delivery method.

 

We consider other drug delivery and biotechnology companies to be direct competitors for the cooperation and support of major drug and biotechnology companies that own or market proprietary pharmaceutical compounds and technologies, as well as for the ultimate patient market. Of primary concern to us are the competitor companies that are known to be developing delivery systems for insulin and other pharmaceutical agents that we have identified as product candidates and technologies to enhance the presentation of peptide antigens.

 

Large pharmaceutical companies, such as Merck & Co., Inc., GlaxoSmithKline PLC, Novartis, Inc., MedImmune Inc. (a subsidiary of Astra-Zeneca, Inc.) and others, also compete in the oncology, immunomedicine and vaccine markets. These companies have greater experience and expertise in securing government contracts and grants to support research and development efforts, conducting testing and clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals to market products, as well as manufacturing and marketing approved products. As such, they are also considered significant competitors in these fields of pharmaceutical products and therapies. There are also many smaller companies which are pursuing similar technologies in these fields and are considered to be competitors of Generex.

 

The following descriptions of our competitors and their products were obtained from their filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, information available on their web sites and industry research reports.

 

Buccal Insulin Product

 

• MannKind Corporation’s product candidates include AFREZZA®, a mealtime insulin therapy being studied for use in adult patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. It is a drug-device combination product which administers insulin through inhalation to the lungs. MannKind submitted an NDA to the FDA requesting approval to market AFREZZA® in May 2009. In January 2011, MannKind announced that it had received a complete response letter from the FDA for AFREZZA®. In August 2011, MannKind announced that it has confirmed with the FDA the design of the two additional Phase III studies which are required for AFREZZA®. In August 2013, MannKind announced positive late-stage data on its inhaled insulin AFREZZA® from the two additional Phase III studies on Type 1 and Type 2diabetes and has resubmitted a new drug application to the FDA in October 2013 seeking approval for the marketing of AFREZZA®. MannKind received FDA approval in June 2014 and the product is now commercially available in the United States.

 

• Amylin Pharmaceuticals, Inc. received FDA approval in January 2012 for Bydureon, an extended-release injectable formulation, which is the first once-a-week therapy for the treatment of type 2 diabetes.

 

• There are several companies that are working on developing products which involve the oral delivery of analogs of insulin. Oramed Pharmaceuticals is developing an orally ingestible insulin capsule which is currently in Phase II clinical trials. Biocon Limited has developed IN-105, a tablet for the oral delivery of insulin, which is currently in phase II trials. Diabetology has developed Capsulin IR, an insulin capsule which is currently in Phase II clinical trials. Access Pharmaceuticals has developed Cobalamin, an oral insulin which is currently in pre-clinical trials. Dance Pharmaceuticals is developing an inhaled insulin product based on Aerogen’s proprietary OnQ Aerosol Generator technology.

-32-

 

There are also a number of companies developing alternative means of delivering insulin in the form of oral pills, transdermal patches, and intranasal methods, which are at early stages of development. In addition to other delivery systems for insulin, there are numerous products, such as sulfonylureas (Amaryl®and Glynase®), biguanides (branded and generic metformin products), thiazolidinediones (Avandia®and Actos®), glucagon-like peptide 1 (Byetta®and Victoza®), and dipeptidyl peptidase IV inhibitors (Januvia® and Onglyza™), which have been approved for use in the treatment of Type 2 diabetics in substitution of, or in addition to, insulin therapy. These products may also be considered to compete with insulin products.

 

Immunomedicine Technology and Products

 

Bavarian Nordic, Inc. employs a DNA vector-based technology platform to design and develop immunotherapeutic vaccines for different cancers. Their most advanced compound, PROSTVAC, is in a pivotal Phase III trial in patients with prostate cancer. Additionally they have a HER2 vaccine in a Phase I/II trial in patients with breast cancer. They have recently presented data on studies combining their MVA-BN-HER2 cancer vaccine with different immune checkpoint inhibitors.

 

Advaxis, Inc. uses a proprietary technique to bioengineer Listeria bacteria to create a specific antigen that can stimulate an immune response after recognition by the recipient’s immune system.  Advaxis’ most advanced product candidate is ADXS-HPV, which is in Phase II trials for HPV-associated CIN (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia) and recurrent cervical cancer. The company has recently partnered with MedImmune to initiate combination studies utilizing their most advanced ADXS-HPV with MedImmune’s anti-PD-L1 immune checkpoint inhibitor in patients with advanced, recurrent or refractory human papillomavirus (HPV)-associated cervical or head and neck cancer.

 

Amgen Inc.’s BiTE® technology uses the body’s cell destroying T cells to attack tumor cells. Amgen’s lead product candidate blinatumomab (MT103) has completed a Phase II clinical trial in patients with minimal residual disease positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

 

Sanofi Pasteur Inc., the vaccine division of sanofi-aventis and one of the largest vaccines companies in the world, has product candidates including inoculations against 20 varieties of infectious diseases.  It received FDA approval for an H5N1 avian influenza vaccine in April 2007 and for an H1N1 vaccine in September 2009.

 

Galena Biopharma’s (formerly Rxi Pharmaceuticals Corporation) NeuVax™, is currently in Phase III clinical trials to evaluate NeuVax™ for the treatment of early stage, HER2-positive breast cancer. Clinical trials are currently underway to test NeuVax™ as a treatment for prostate cancer, and to use NeuVax™ in combination with Herceptin® to target breast cancer.

 

Cell Genesys, Inc. was developing products for the treatment of prostate cancer using the GVAX™ cancer treatments, which are composed of tumor cells that are genetically modified to secrete an immune-stimulating cytokine and are irradiated for safety.  Cell Genesys and Takeda Pharmaceutical Co. entered into an exclusive licensing agreement for GVAX in March 2008.  In late 2008, Cell Genesys announced it was terminating the Phase III trials for the GVAX™ prostate cancer products.  In May 2010, BioSante Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that development of the GVAX vaccine for the treatment of prostate cancer has been reinitiated and is in Phase II human clinical trials.  In addition to GVAX prostate product, BioSante has several other cancer vaccines which are in Phase II clinical development including vaccines for leukemia, breast cancer and pancreatic cancer and has vaccines in Phase I clinical development including vaccines for colorectal cancer and melanoma.

 

-33-

CEL-SCI Corporation’s main product is Multikine® an immunotherapeutic agent being developed as a cancer treatment. Multikine®’s goal is to harness the body's natural ability to fight tumors.  Multikine® has been cleared in the U.S. and Canada for study in a global Phase III clinical trial in advanced primary (not yet treated) head and neck cancer patients.

 

In addition to the companies listed above, there are a number of companies which are pursuing cancer treatments using immunotherapy technologies which have products in various clinical trial stages.  Some of these companies are Argos Therapeutics Inc., Celldex Therapeutics Inc., Northwest Therapeutics Inc., Immatics Biotechnology GmbH, Immunocellular Therapeutics Ltd., TVAX Biomedical Inc. and Newlink Genetics Corporation.  These companies can also be considered to be competitors.

 

Environmental Compliance

 

Our manufacturing, research and development activities involve the controlled use of hazardous materials and chemicals. We believe that our procedures for handling and disposing of these materials comply with all applicable government regulations. However, we cannot eliminate the risk of accidental contamination or injury from these materials. If an accident occurred, we could be held liable for damages, and these damages could severely impact our financial condition. We are also subject to many environmental, health and workplace safety laws and regulations, particularly those governing laboratory procedures, exposure to blood-borne pathogens, and the handling of hazardous biological materials. Violations and the cost of compliance with these laws and regulations could adversely affect us. However, we do not believe that compliance with the United States, Canadian or other environmental laws will have a material effect on us in the foreseeable future.

 

Research and Development Expenditures

 

A substantial portion of our activities to date have been in research and development. We expended $854,706 in the three quarters ended April 30, 2015, $1,382,995 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014, $2,192,724 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013 and $4,987,236 in the year ended July 31, 2012 on research and development. Research and development activities decreased in 2013 and again in 2014 from 2012, as we have not initiated any new trials after the completion of the global Phase III clinical trial of our oral insulin product due to lack of available funding.

 

Financial Information About Geographic Areas

 

The regions in which we had identifiable assets and revenues and the amounts of such identifiable assets and revenues for each of the last three fiscal years are presented in Note 14 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in this registration statement. Identifiable assets are those that can be directly associated with a geographic area.

 

Employees

 

At July 15, 2015, we had eight full-time employees, including our employees at Antigen. Five of our employees are executive and administrative, two are scientific and technical personnel who engage primarily in development activities and in preparing formulations for testing and clinical trials, and one is engaged in corporate and product promotion. We believe our employee relations are good. None of our employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

 

We will continue to need qualified scientific personnel and personnel with experience in clinical testing, government regulation and manufacturing. We may have difficulty in obtaining qualified scientific and technical personnel as there is strong competition for such personnel from other pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as universities and research institutions. Our business could be materially harmed if we are unable to recruit and retain qualified scientific, administrative and executive personnel to support our expanding activities, or if one or more members of our limited scientific and management staff were unable or unwilling to continue their association with us. We have fixed-term agreements with only certain members of our key management and scientific staff, Mark Fletcher, President, President and CEO and Eric von Hofe, President of Antigen.

 

We use non-employee consultants to assist us in formulating research and development strategy, in preparing regulatory submissions, in developing protocols for clinical trials, and in designing, equipping and staffing our

-34-

manufacturing facilities. We also use non-employee consultants to assist us in business development. These consultants and advisors usually have the right to terminate their relationship with us on short notice. Loss of some of these key advisors could interrupt or delay development of one or more of our products or otherwise adversely affect our business plans.

 

Properties.

 

Our executive and principal administrative offices occupy approximately 2,300 square feet of office space in in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada which we rent at an annual rent of approximately $80,000 under a lease that runs to September 2019.

 

We lease approximately 546 square feet of office space in Worcester, Massachusetts which we rent under a lease agreement which runs on a month-to-month basis, which Antigen uses for its regulatory and clinical activities at an annual rent of approximately $18,000. This space is sufficient for Antigen’s present activities.

 

We do not expect to need manufacturing capabilities in Canada related to our insulin product, as it is likely that we will contract out the manufacturing of product requirements for any future clinical trials and commercial sales.

 

Legal Proceedings.

 

Subash Chandarana et al. v. Generex Biotechnology Corporation. In February 2001, a former business associate of Pankaj Modi ("Modi") (a former officer of Generex) and an entity called Centrum Technologies Inc. ("CTI") commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against us and Modi seeking, among other things, damages for alleged breaches of contract and tortious acts related to a business relationship between this former associate and Modi that ceased in July 1996. The plaintiffs’ statement of claim also seeks to enjoin the use, if any, by us of three patents allegedly owned by CTI. The three patents are entitled Liquid Formulations for Proteinic Pharmaceuticals, Vaccine Delivery System for Immunization, Using Biodegradable Polymer Microspheres, and Controlled Releases of Drugs or Hormones in Biodegradable Polymer Microspheres. It is our position that the buccal drug delivery technologies which are the subject matter of our research, development, and commercialization efforts, including Generex Oral-lyn™ and the RapidMist™ Diabetes Management System, do not make use of, are not derivative of, do not infringe upon, and are entirely different from the intellectual property identified in the plaintiffs’ statement of claim. On July 20, 2001, we filed a preliminary motion to dismiss the action of CTI as a nonexistent entity or, alternatively, to stay such action on the grounds of want of authority of such entity to commence the action. The plaintiffs brought a cross motion to amend the statement of claim to substitute Centrum Biotechnologies, Inc. ("CBI") for CTI. CBI is a corporation of which 50 percent of the shares are owned by the former business associate and the remaining 50 percent are owned by us. Consequently, the shareholders of CBI are in a deadlock. The court granted our motion to dismiss the action of CTI and denied the plaintiffs’ cross motion without prejudice to the former business associate to seek leave to bring a derivative action in the name of or on behalf of CBI. The former business associate subsequently filed an application with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for an order granting him leave to file an action in the name of and on behalf of CBI against Modi and us. We opposed the application. In September 2003, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted the request and issued an order giving the former business associate leave to file an action in the name of and on behalf of CBI against Modi and us. A statement of claim was served in July 2004. Since that time, the plaintiffs have not taken any steps in furtherance of the proceeding. We are not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.

 

In December 2011, a vendor of the Company commenced an action against the Company and its subsidiary, Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice claiming damages for unpaid invoices including interest in the amount of $429,000, in addition to costs and further interest. The Company responded to this statement of claim and also asserted a counterclaim in the proceeding for $200,000 arising from the vendor’s breach of contract and detinue, together with interest and costs. On November 16, 2012, the parties agreed to settle this action and the Company has agreed to pay the plaintiff $125,000, following the spinout of its subsidiary Antigen, from the proceeds of any public or private financing related to Antigen subsequent to such spinout. Each party agreed to execute mutual releases to the claim and counterclaim to be held in trust by each party’s counsel until payment of the settlement amount. Following payment to the plaintiff, the parties agree that a Consent Dismissal Order without costs will be filed with the court. If the Company fails to make the payment following completion of any post-spinout financing related to Antigen or any other subsidiaries, the Plaintiffs may take out a judgment in the amount of the claim plus interest of 3% per annum and costs fixed at $25,000.

Disputes with Former Officer

 

On May 20, 2011, our former Chief Financial Officer, Rose Perri filed a statement of claim (subsequently amended) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, naming as defendants the Company and certain directors of the Company, Mr. Barratt, Ms. Masterson, Mr. McGee, and Mr. Fletcher. In this action, Ms. Perri has alleged that defendants engaged in discrimination, harassment, bad faith and infliction of mental distress in connection with the termination of her employment with the Company. Ms. Perri is seeking damages in this action in excess of $7,000,000 for, among other things, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of the Ontario Human Rights Code and aggravated and punitive damages. On September 20, 2011, the defendants filed a statement of defense and counterclaim, also naming Time Release Corp., Khazak Group Consulting Corp., and David Khazak, C.A. as defendants by counterclaim, and seeking damages of approximately $2.3 million in funds that the defendants allege Ms. Perri wrongly caused the Company to pay to third parties in varying amounts over several years and an accounting of certain third-party payments, plus interests and costs. The factual basis for the counterclaim involves payments made by the Company to third parties believed to be related to Ms. Perri. The Company intends to defend this action and pursue its counterclaim vigorously and is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.

 

On June 1, 2011, Golden Bull Estates Ltd. filed a claim (subsequently amended) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, naming the Company, 1097346 Ontario, Inc. and Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as defendants. The plaintiff, Golden Bull Estates, is controlled by Ms. Perri. The plaintiff alleges damages in the amount of $550,000 for breach of contract, $50,000 for punitive damages, plus interest and costs. The plaintiff’s claims relate to an alleged contract between the plaintiff and the Company for property management services for certain Ontario properties owned by the Company. The Company terminated the plaintiff’s property management services in April 2011. Following the close of pleadings, the Company served a motion for summary judgment. The plaintiff responded by amending its statement of claim to include a claim to the Company’s interest in certain of its real estate holdings. The plaintiff moved for leave to issue and register a Certificate of Pending Litigation in respect of this real estate. The motion was not successful in respect of any current real estate holdings of the Company. The Company is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.

 

We are involved in certain other legal proceedings in addition to those specifically described herein. Subject to the uncertainty inherent in all litigation, we do not believe at the present time that the resolution of any of these legal proceedings is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

With respect to all litigation matters, as additional information concerning the estimates used by us becomes known, we reassess each matter’s position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures.

The following should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere herein. Certain numbers in this section have been rounded for ease of analysis.

 

The following discussion and analysis by management provides information with respect to our financial condition and results of operations for the fiscal years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the three quarters ended April 30, 2015. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the information in the consolidated financial statements and the notes pertaining thereto and under the caption “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Overview of Business

 

We are engaged primarily in the research and development of drug delivery systems and technologies. Our primary focus at the present time is our proprietary technology for the administration of formulations of large molecule drugs to the oral (buccal) cavity using a hand-held aerosol applicator. Through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigen, we have expanded our focus to include immunomedicines incorporating proprietary vaccine formulations.

 

We believe that our buccal delivery technology is a platform technology that has application to many large molecule drugs and provides a convenient, non-invasive, accurate and cost-effective way to administer such drugs. We have identified several large molecule drugs as possible candidates for development, including estrogen, heparin, monoclonal antibodies, human growth hormone and fertility hormones, but to date have focused our development efforts primarily on one pharmaceutical product, Generex Oral-lyn™, an insulin formulation administered as a fine spray into the oral cavity using our proprietary hand-held aerosol spray applicator known as RapidMist™.

 

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigen, concentrates on developing proprietary vaccine formulations that work by stimulating the immune system to either attack offending agents (i.e., cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses) or to stop attacking benign elements (i.e., self proteins and allergens). Our immunomedicine products are based on two platform technologies and are in the early stages of development. We continue clinical development of Antigen’s synthetic peptide vaccines designed to stimulate a potent and specific immune response against tumors expressing the HER-2/neu oncogene for patients with HER-2/neu positive breast cancer in a Phase II clinical trial and patients with prostate cancer and against avian influenza in two Phase I clinical trials. We also initiated an additional Phase I clinical trial in patients with either breast or ovarian cancer.  The synthetic vaccine technology has certain advantages for pandemic or potentially pandemic viruses, such as the H5N1 avian and H1N1 swine flu.  In addition to developing vaccines for pandemic influenza viruses, we have vaccine development efforts underway for seasonal influenza virus, HIV, HPV, melanoma, ovarian cancer, allergy and Type I diabetes mellitus. We have established collaborations with clinical investigators at academic centers to advance these technologies.

 

To date, we have received regulatory approval in Ecuador, India (subject to regulatory approval of a 2012 in-country study), Lebanon and Algeria for the commercial marketing and sale of Generex Oral-lyn™. We have previously submitted regulatory dossiers for Generex Oral-lyn™ in a number of other countries, including Bangladesh, Kenya, Jordan and Armenia. While we believe these countries will ultimately approve our product for commercial sale, we do not anticipate recognizing revenues in any of these jurisdictions in the next twelve months. No dossier related activities or product shipments have taken place during fiscal 2014 or 2015, nor are any expected to these countries during the remainder of calendar year 2015. In March 2008, we initiated Phase III clinical trials for this product in the U.S. with the first patient screening for such trials at a clinical study site in Texas in April 2008. Approximately 450 patients were enrolled at approximately 70 clinical sites around the world, including sites in the United States, Canada, Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Russia, Ukraine and Ecuador. The final subjects completed the trial in August 2011. After appropriate validation, the data from approximately

450 patients was tabulated, reviewed and analyzed. Those results from the Phase III trial along with a comprehensive review and supplemental analyses of approximately 40 prior Oral-lyn clinical studies were compiled and submitted to the FDA in late December 2011 in a comprehensive package including a composite metanalysis of all safety data. We continue to have discussions with the FDA with respect to the pathway for regulatory approval, including any additional clinical or pharmacological studies that might be required to support regulatory approval or enhance marketing success. We do not currently plan to expend significant resources on additional clinical trials of Oral-lyn™ until after such time that we secure sufficient additional financing. However, we have initiated a project with the University Health Network of the University of Toronto, and the University of Guelph, Ontario to enhance the formulation of Generex Oral-lyn™ in order to reduce the number of puffs required for prandial use. Early results in an animal study have been encouraging and we expect to release the final results in the third quarter of 2015.

 

In November 2008 we, together with our marketing partner Shreya Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., officially launched Generex Oral-lyn™ in India under marketing name of Oral Recosulin™. Each package of Oral Recosulin™ contains two canisters of our product along with one actuator. The product received regulatory price approval in India in January 2009. Per the requirements of the regulatory approval in India, an in-country clinical study must be completed in India with Oral Recosulin™ before commercial sales can commence. The field portion of the study was completed in the third calendar quarter of 2012.  Shreya has advised Generex that the dossier was submitted in December of 2012 to the Drugs Controller General (India) (DCGI), Central Drugs Standard Control Organization, Director General of Health Services, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India. Generex has provided additional, detailed scientific data to support the Shreya submission. We have not recognized any revenues from the sale of Generex Oral-lyn™ in India through fiscal year ended July 31, 2015.

 

In December 2008, we, together with our marketing partner Benta S.A., received an approval to market Generex Oral-lyn™ in Lebanon. The official product launch in Lebanon took place in May 2009. In May 2009, the Algerian health authorities granted us permission to import and sell Generex Oral-lyn™ for the treatment of diabetes in Algeria. The official product launch in Algeria took place in October 2009. To date, we have not recognized any revenue from the sales of Generex Oral-lyn™ in Algeria and very minimal revenues in Lebanon. We do not anticipate any revenues to be recognized from these jurisdictions in the next twelve months.

 

We face competition from other providers of alternate forms of insulin. Some of our most significant competitors, Pfizer, Eli Lilly, and Novo Nordisk, have discontinued development and/or sale of their inhalable forms of insulin. MannKind introduced a new pulmonary insulin which was approved by the FDA in 2014, and MannKind subsequently partnered with sanofi-aventis to market the product under the tradename of Afrezza.

 

Generex Oral-lyn™ is not an inhaled insulin; rather, it is a buccally absorbed formulation with no pulmonary deposition. We believe that our buccal delivery technology offers several advantages, including the ease of use, portability, avoidance of pulmonary inhalation and safety profile. Furthermore, insulin administered through the Generex Oral-lyn™ RapidMist™ technology is absorbed directly into the blood stream and not only acts rapidly, but returns to baseline quickly, thereby minimizing the chance of developing hypoglycemia.

 

Large pharmaceutical companies, such as Merck & Co., Inc., GlaxoSmithKline PLC, Novartis, Inc., MedImmune Inc. (a subsidiary of Astra-Zeneca, Inc.) and others, also compete against us in the oncology, immunomedicine and vaccine markets. These companies have competing experience and expertise in securing government contracts and grants to support research and development efforts, conducting testing and clinical trials, obtaining regulatory approvals to market products, as well as manufacturing and marketing approved products. As such, they are also considered significant competitors in these fields of pharmaceutical products and therapies. There are also many smaller companies which are pursuing similar technologies in these fields who are considered to be competitors of Generex.

 

We are a development stage company with a limited history of operations, and do not expect sufficient revenues to support our operation in the immediately foreseeable future. To date, we have not been profitable and our accumulated net loss available to shareholders was $371,806,772 at April 30, 2015. As of April 30, 2015, our current cash position is not sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months. To continue operations, we will require additional funds to support our working capital requirements and any development

-39-

activities, or will need to suspend operations. Management is seeking various alternatives to ensure that we can meet some of our operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placement of our common stock, preferred stock offerings and offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments as well as through merger or acquisition opportunities. In addition, management is actively seeking strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures. Management has sold its non-essential real estate assets which were classified as Assets Held for Investment to augment its cash position. We cannot provide any assurance that we will obtain the required funding. Our inability to obtain required funding in the near future or our inability to obtain funding on favorable terms will have a material adverse effect on our operations and our strategic development plan for future growth. If we cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement our strategic development plan, our liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.

 

We operate in only one segment: the research and development of drug delivery systems and technologies for metabolic and immunological diseases.

 

Accounting for Research and Development Projects

 

Our major research and development projects are the refinement of our platform buccal delivery technology, our buccal insulin project (Generex Oral-lyn™) and Antigen’s peptide immunotherapeutic vaccines.

 

During the nine-month period ended April 30, 2015 and the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014, we expended resources on the clinical testing of our buccal insulin product, Generex Oral-lyn™. The completion of further late-stage trials in Canada and the United States may require significantly greater funds than we currently have on hand.

 

During the nine-month period ended April 30, 2015 and the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014, we expended resources on research and development relating to Antigen’s peptide immunotherapeutic vaccines and related technologies. One Antigen vaccine is currently in Phase II clinical trials in the United States involving patients with HER-2/neu positive breast cancer, and we have completed a Phase I clinical trial for an Antigen vaccine for H5N1 avian influenza which was conducted at the Lebanese-Canadian Hospital in Beirut. Antigen’s prostate cancer vaccine based on AE37 has been tested in a completed (August 2009) Phase I clinical trial in Greece.

 

Because of various uncertainties, we cannot predict the timing of completion and commercialization of our buccal insulin or Antigen’s peptide immunotherapeutic vaccines or related technologies. These uncertainties include the success of current studies, our ability to obtain the required financing and the time required to obtain regulatory approval even if our research and development efforts are completed and successful, our ability to enter into collaborative marketing and distribution agreements with third-parties, and the success of such marketing and distribution arrangements. For the same reasons, we cannot predict when any products may begin to produce net cash inflows.

 

Most of our buccal delivery research and development activities to date have involved developing our platform technology for use with insulin. As a result, we have not made significant distinctions in the accounting for research and development expenses among products, as a significant portion of all research has involved improvements to the platform technology in connection with insulin, which may benefit all of our potential buccal products. During the nine months ended April 30, 2015, approximately 42% of our $854,706 in research and development expenses was attributable to insulin and platform technology development.  During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014, approximately 26% of our $1,382,995 in research and development expenses was attributable to insulin and platform technology development. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, approximately 24% of our $2,192,724 in research and development expenses was attributable to insulin and platform technology development.  

 

During the nine months ended April 30, 2015, approximately 58% of our $854,706 in research and development expenses was attributable to Antigen's immunomedicine products. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014, approximately 74% of our $1,382,995 in research and development expenses was attributable to Antigen's immunomedicine products. During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, approximately 76%, or $1,658,731 of our research and development expenses was attributable to Antigen's immunomedicine products.

-40-

 

Because these products are in initial phases of clinical trials or early, pre-clinical stage of development (with the exception of the Phase II clinical trials of Antigen HER-2/neu positive breast cancer vaccine that are underway), all of the expenses were accounted for as basic research and no distinctions were made as to particular products. Due to the early stage of development, we cannot predict the timing of completion of any products arising from this technology, or when products from this technology might begin producing revenues.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial statements which have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. It requires management to make estimates 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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

We consider certain accounting policies related to impairment of long-lived assets, intangible assets and accrued liabilities to be critical to our business operations and the understanding of our results of operations:

 

Going Concern.  As shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have not been profitable and have reported recurring losses from operations.  These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue to operate in the normal course of business.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary should we be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

Revenue Recognition. Net sales of our over-the-counter consumer products are generally recognized in the period in which the products are delivered. Delivery of the products generally completes the criteria for revenue recognition for us. In the event where the customers have the right of return, sales are deferred until the right of return lapses, the product is sold to a third party or a provision for returns can be reasonably estimated based on historical experience.

 

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Management reviews for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of property and equipment may not be recoverable under the provisions of accounting for the impairment of long-lived assets. If it is determined that an impairment loss has occurred based upon expected future cash flows, the loss is recognized in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. As of April 30, 2015, there were no indications of any impairment of our long-lived assets.

 

Intangible Assets. We have intangible assets related to patents. The determination of the related estimated useful lives and whether or not these assets are impaired involves significant judgments. In assessing the recoverability of these intangible assets, we use an estimate of undiscounted operating income and related cash flows over the remaining useful life, market conditions and other factors to determine the recoverability of the asset. If these estimates or their related assumptions change in the future, we may be required to record impairment charges against these assets. In the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, we recorded a write down of $440,780 on certain patents. There were no patent write downs or disposals in the fiscal years ended July 31, 2013 or 2014 or in the first three quarters of fiscal 2015.

 

Estimating accrued liabilities, specifically litigation accruals. Management's current estimated range of liabilities related to pending litigation is based on management's best estimate of future costs. While the final resolution of the litigation could result in amounts different than current accruals, and therefore have an impact on our consolidated financial results in a future reporting period, management believes the ultimate outcome will not have a significant effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

Share-based compensation. Management determines value of stock-based compensation to employees in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Management determines value of stock-based compensation to non-employees and consultants in accordance with and ASC 505, Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees.

 

Derivative warrant liability.  FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, requires all derivatives to be recorded on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008.  As a result, certain derivative warrant liabilities (namely those with a price protection feature) are now separately valued as of August 11

-41-

, 2009 and accounted for on our balance sheet, with any changes in fair value recorded in earnings.  On our consolidated balance sheets as of April 30, 2015, July 31, 2014 and July 31, 2013, we used the binomial lattice model to estimate the fair value of these warrants. Key assumptions of the binomial lattice option-pricing model include the market price of our stock, the exercise price of the warrants, applicable volatility rates, risk-free interest rates, expected dividends and the instrument’s remaining term.  These assumptions require significant management judgment.  In addition, changes in any of these variables during a period can result in material changes in the fair value (and resultant gains or losses) of this derivative instrument.

 

Results of Operations

 

Nine months ended April 30, 2015 compared to nine months ended April 30, 2014

 

We had a net loss for the nine months ended April 30, 2015 of $1,858,450 versus a net loss of $2,385,273 in the corresponding nine months of the prior fiscal year. The loss in this year’s fiscal nine months was caused primarily by our operating expenses of $2,595,217, partially offset by the gain due to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $665,491, while in the prior year the loss was due primarily to operating expenses of $3,696,761. Our operating loss for the nine months ended April 30, 2015 decreased to $2,595,217 compared to $3,696,761 in the same fiscal period of 2014. The decrease in operating loss resulted from a decrease in research and development expenses (to $854,706 from $1,097,877) and a decrease in in general and administrative expenses (to $1,740,511 from $2,598,884). We did not have revenue in either of the nine-month periods ended April 30, 2015 or 2014.

 

The decrease in research and development expenses in the current fiscal quarter versus the comparative quarter in the previous fiscal year is primarily due to there being no installments to the contract research organization for the Antigen Phase II clinical trial, offset partially by expenditures related to the reformulation of our buccal insulin product. In the general and administrative expense category, a reduction in professional services expenses of approximately $580,000, a decrease in rent of approximately $153,000 due to downsizing our office space in Massachusetts, in addition to small decreases in other categories, accounted for the majority of the reduction in this category as compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2014.

 

Our interest expense in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $256,574 compared to the previous year’s fiscal nine months at $243,506. Change in fair value of derivative liabilities contributed a gain of $665,491 in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 compared to a gain of $1,360,818 in the first nine months of fiscal 2014. We did not have any income from assets held for investment (net of expense) in the first three quarters of fiscal 2015 compared to $193,607 in the same period of the previous fiscal year, as we sold all these properties in the prior fiscal year. In the nine months ended April 30, 2015 we had a gain on extinguishment of debt of $327,839 related to the final settlement of a previously owed balance to a vendor.

 

Our net income available to shareholders was decreased by $1,828,329 in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 relating to a preferred stock dividend as a result of the accounting treatment of our convertible preferred stock financings in January 2014 and March 2014. We did not have any deemed dividends in the fiscal 2015 period.

 

Year Ended July 31, 2014 Compared to Year Ended July 31, 2013

 

We had a net loss for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 (fiscal 2014) of $1,417 versus a net loss of $8,554,322 in the prior fiscal year (fiscal 2013). The loss this year was caused primarily by operating expenses of $4,399,679, offset by a gain due to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $4,525,739, while in the prior year operating expenses were $6,129,359 with a loss due to the change in fair value of the derivative liabilities of $3,140,259. Our operating loss for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 decreased to $4,399,679 compared to $6,129,359 in fiscal 2013.  The decrease in operating loss resulted from a decrease in research and development expenses (to $1,382,995 from $2,192,724) and a decrease in general and administrative expenses (to $3,016,684 from $3,936,635). We did not have any revenues in either fiscal 2014 or 2013.

 

The decrease in research and development expenses in the current fiscal year versus the comparative period in the previous fiscal year is primarily due to there being no installments due to the contract research organization for the Antigen Phase II clinical trial in the last three quarters of fiscal 2014. Our efforts to significantly reduce expenses in all categories also contributed to the decrease in this category. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is related to a decrease in professional services expenses, including legal and consulting services of approximately

-42-

$700,000, in addition to a decrease in payroll related expenses of approximately $56,000 and a decrease in office related expenses of approximately $100,000 in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014, as compared to fiscal 2013. We also incurred reductions of expenses in most other categories due to our efforts to conserve cash until we complete the strategic development plan announced by management on March 30, 2011.

 

Our interest expense in fiscal 2014 was $321,670 compared to the previous year’s fiscal period at $530,222 due to the lower fees and costs associated with the November 2012 property refinancing, as well as lower penalties incurred upon the early discharge of the mortgages on the sale of our properties held for investment.   We recognized lower income from assets held for investment (net of expense) of $193,607 in fiscal 2014 compared to $1,245,165 in fiscal 2014 due to the almost $1.0 million accounting gain on the aforementioned property sale in the fiscal 2013 period. Change in fair value of derivative liabilities contributed a gain of $4,525,739 in fiscal 2014 compared to a loss of $3,140,259 in fiscal 2013.

 

Our net income available to shareholders was decreased by $2,058,329 in fiscal 2014 relating to a preferred stock dividend as a result of the accounting treatment of our convertible preferred stock financings in January and March 2014 versus a preferred stock dividend of $1,722,474 in fiscal 2013, also related to financings. These amounts represent deemed dividends to the investors as a result of the accounting treatment for financings in fiscal 2014 (March 2014 and January 2014) and fiscal 2013 (June 2013 and August 2012), as further described in Note 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Resources

 

Sources of Liquidity

 

To date we have financed our development stage activities primarily through private placements of our common stock and securities convertible into our common stock.

 

As of April 30, 2015 and the date of this prospectus, our current cash position is not sufficient to meet our working capital needs for the next twelve months. Therefore, we will require additional funds to support our working capital requirements and any development or other activities, or will need to curtail our clinical trials and other planned activities or suspend operations.

 

While we have financed our development stage activities to date primarily through private placements of our common stock and securities convertible into our common stock and raised approximately $5.3 million during fiscal 2014 (including proceeds from warrant exercises and the net proceeds from the sale of our properties held for investment)), our cash balances have been low thus far in fiscal 2015.

 

On March 30, 2011, our realigned management team announced its strategic development plan for Generex’s future growth. The plan included the spin-out of Antigen Express, a reverse stock split for Generex and a rights offering to Generex stockholders. As proposed, we would spin out Antigen Express as a separate DTC-eligible company, register its shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and seek to list its shares on a national securities exchange. Management believes that the spin-out would increase value for stockholders and provide Antigen Express with ready access to capital markets to finance its on-going clinical and regulatory initiatives. Management further believes that the spin-out would benefit Generex, by allowing Generex to hold a controlling interest in a publicly-traded company while continuing to focus on maximizing opportunities for its buccal drug delivery platform. The spin-out would be accomplished by the issuance of one or more dividends of Antigen Express stock to Generex stockholders. No determination has been made as to the timing of the proposed spin-out. This plan does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities.

 

Our stockholders approved a reverse split proposal at our annual general meeting held on May 22, 2014, which approval allows the Board to implement a reverse split in its discretion and is not contingent upon listing our common stock on a national stock exchange, and we are asking our stockholders to renew this approval at our August 19, 2105 annual meeting. However, the terms of the securities purchase agreements that we entered into on January 14, 2014, March 27, 2014 and June 24, 2015 prohibit us from undertaking a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of our common stock except for a reverse stock split made in conjunction with a listing of the common stock on a national securities exchange.

 

-43-

Management may seek to meet all or some of our operating cash flow requirements through financing activities, such as private placement of our common stock, preferred stock offerings and offerings of debt and convertible debt instruments as well as through merger or acquisition opportunities.

 

Upon the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K on October 14, 2011, we were no longer eligible to use Form S-3 to register shares sold to investors, as the aggregate market value of our outstanding voting and non-voting common equity held by non-affiliates was less than $75 million. As we are required under the registration rights agreements that we entered into on January 31, 2012, August 8, 2012, December 10, 2012, June 17, 2013, January 14, 2014, March 27, 2014 and June 24, 2015 with certain investors to register shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of the securities purchased by the investors, we filed the respective registration statements on Form S-1. We incurred additional legal and accounting fees in connection with the preparation of these Form S-1 registration statements.

 

In addition, management is actively pursuing financial and strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures, industry collaboration activities, and potential strategic partners. Management has sold, and is also seeking further sales of, non-essential real estate assets which are classified as Assets Held for Investment to augment its cash position and reduce its long-term debt.

 

We believe that the successful commercial launch of Oral-lyn™ in countries where we have approval would enhance our ability to access additional sources of funding. We will continue to require substantial funds to continue research and development, including preclinical studies and clinical trials of our product candidates, further clinical trials for Oral-lyn™ and to commence sales and marketing efforts if the FDA or other regulatory approvals are obtained.

 

Unforeseen problems with the conduct or results of Phase III clinical trials for Oral-lyn™ or further negative developments in general economic conditions could interfere with our ability to raise additional capital as needed, or materially adversely affect the terms upon which such capital is available. We cannot provide any assurance that we will obtain the required funding. Our inability to obtain required funding in the near future or our inability to obtain funding on favorable terms will have a material adverse effect on our operations and our strategic development plan for future growth. If we cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement our strategic development plan, our liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected and we may have to cease operations.

 

Equity Financings

 

Following is a summary of the equity financing activities that we have completed since the beginning of the 2014 calendar year.

 

Financing – June 2015

Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants

 

On June 24, 2015, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which we agreed to sell an aggregate of 500 shares of our newly designated non-voting Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 100% of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock. The purchase closed on June 25, 2015. We sold the convertible preferred stock and warrants in units, with each unit consisting of one share of convertible preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 100% of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of such share of convertible preferred stock. Each unit was sold at a negotiated price of $1,000, for an aggregate purchase price of $500,000. An aggregate of 33,333,333 shares of our common stock are issuable upon conversion of, or exercise of, the convertible preferred stock and warrants. We received net proceeds of approximately $475,000 from this transaction.

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Series G convertible preferred stock will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of our common stock at an effective conversion price of $0.015 per share, and will accrue a 9% dividend until June 24, 2018 and, beginning on June 24, 2018 and on each one year anniversary thereafter, such dividend rate will increase by an additional 3%. The dividend will be payable quarterly on September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30, beginning on the first such date after the original issue date and

-44-

on each conversion date in cash, or at our option, in shares of common stock. In the event that the convertible preferred stock is converted prior to June 24, 2018, we will pay the holder of the converted preferred stock an amount equal to $270 per $1,000 of stated value of the convertible preferred stock, less the amount of all prior quarterly dividends paid on such converted preferred stock before the relevant conversion date. Such “make-whole payment” may be made in cash or, at our option, in shares of our common stock. In addition, beginning June 24, 2018, we will pay dividends on shares of preferred stock equal to (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) and in the same form as dividends (other than dividends in the form of common stock) actually paid on shares of the common stock when, as and if such dividends are paid. We will incur a late fee of 18% per annum on unpaid dividends.

 

The conversion price of the Series G convertible preferred stock will be subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The conversion price will also be adjusted if we sell or grant any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then conversion price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by us pro rata to the holders of our common stock to the same extent as if such holders had converted all of their shares of convertible preferred stock. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive, upon conversion of their shares, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of our common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction.

 

We may become obligated to redeem the Series G convertible preferred stock in cash upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, including, material breach of certain contractual obligations to the holders of the convertible preferred stock, the occurrence of a change in control of Generex, the occurrence of certain insolvency events relating to Generex, or the failure of our common stock to continue to be listed or quoted for trading on one or more specified United States securities exchanges or regulated quotation service. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, each holder of convertible preferred stock will have the option to redeem such holder’s shares of convertible preferred stock for a redemption price payable in shares of common stock or receive an increased dividend rate of 18% on all of such holder’s outstanding convertible preferred stock. Late fees will apply on all redemption amounts not paid within five trading days of the payment date.

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the warrants will be exercisable at any time after their date of issuance and on or before the fifth-year anniversary thereafter at an exercise price of $0.015 per share of common stock. The exercise price of the warrants and, in some cases, the number of shares issuable upon exercise, are subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise will also be adjusted if we sell or grant any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then exercise price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by us pro rata to the holders of our common stock to the same extent as if such holders had exercised all of their warrants. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of their warrants, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction.

 

The securities purchase agreement and the certificate of designation authorizing the Series G convertible preferred stock include certain agreements and covenants for the benefit of the holders of the convertible preferred stock, including restrictions on our ability to amend the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, pay cash dividends or distributions with respect to our common stock or other junior securities, repurchase more than a de minimis number of shares of our common stock or other junior securities.

 

With very limited exceptions, the investors will have a pro rata right of first refusal in respect of participation in any private debt or equity financings undertaken by us during the 12 months following the closing of the transaction.

 

We offered these securities privately pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. We entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the public resale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock, issuable as dividends on the preferred stock, issuable upon exercise of the warrants and issued as a finders’ fee.

-45-

 

We agreed to file the registration statement within 25 days of the closing of the transaction and to use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 75 days after the filing date.

 

In addition, until the first anniversary date of the securities purchase agreement, each investor could, in its sole determination, elect to purchase, severally and not jointly with the other investors, in one or more purchases, in the ratio of such investor's original subscription amount to the original aggregate subscription amount of all investors, additional units consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants at a purchase price of $1,000 per unit with an aggregate subscription amount thereof of up to $500,000, which units would be identical to the units of convertible preferred stock and warrants issued in connection with the June 2015 closing. We do not have sufficient authorized shares of common stock to reserve for issuance if the investors exercise this right in full. We are asking our stockholders to approve an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation at our annual meeting on August 19, 2015 which would increase our authorized shares of common stock.

 

In addition, if, during the six-month period after the issuance of the warrants and continuing until such time that all of the securities may be sold without our meeting the current public information requirement under Securities Act rule 144(c)(1), we fail to meet such requirement, we will pay liquidate damages equal to 2.0% of the purchase price paid by each investor, payable in cash every 30 days until current public information for Generex is available or is no longer required for the investors to rely on Rule 144 to transfer the securities (including underlying securities) acquired under the securities purchase agreement.

Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock and Warrants

 

On March 27, 2014, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain investors, pursuant to which we agreed to sell an aggregate of 2,075 shares of our newly designated non-voting Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 100% of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible preferred stock. The purchase closed on March 28, 2014. We sold the convertible preferred stock and warrants in units, with each unit consisting of one share of convertible preferred stock and a warrant to purchase 100% of the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of such share of convertible preferred stock. Each unit was sold at a negotiated price of $1,000, for an aggregate purchase price of $2,075,000. An aggregate of 138,333,334 shares of our common stock are issuable upon conversion of, or exercise of, the convertible preferred stock and warrants. We received net proceeds of approximately $2,020,000 from this transaction.

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the Series F convertible preferred stock will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of our common stock at an effective conversion price of $0.03 per share, and will accrue a 9% dividend until March 27, 2017 and, beginning on March 27, 2017 and on each one year anniversary thereafter, such dividend rate will increase by an additional 3%. The dividend will be payable quarterly on September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30, beginning on the first such date after the original issue date and on each conversion date in cash, or at our option, in shares of common stock. In the event that the convertible preferred stock is converted prior to March 27, 2017, we will pay the holder of the converted preferred stock an amount equal to $270 per $1,000 of stated value of the convertible preferred stock, less the amount of all prior quarterly dividends paid on such converted preferred stock before the relevant conversion date. Such “make-whole payment” may be made in cash or, at our option, in shares of our common stock. In addition, beginning March 27, 2016, we will pay dividends on shares of preferred stock equal to (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) and in the same form as dividends (other than dividends in the form of common stock) actually paid on shares of the common stock when, as and if such dividends are paid. We will incur a late fee of 18% per annum on unpaid dividends.

 

The conversion price of the Series F convertible preferred stock will be subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The conversion price will also be adjusted if we sell or grant any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the

-46-

then conversion price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by us pro rata to the holders of our common stock to the same extent as if such holders had converted all of their shares of convertible preferred stock. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive, upon conversion of their shares, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of our common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction.

 

We may become obligated to redeem the Series F convertible preferred stock in cash upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, including, material breach of certain contractual obligations to the holders of the convertible preferred stock, the occurrence of a change in control of Generex, the occurrence of certain insolvency events relating to Generex, or the failure of our common stock to continue to be listed or quoted for trading on one or more specified United States securities exchanges or regulated quotation service. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, each holder of convertible preferred stock will have the option to redeem such holder’s shares of convertible preferred stock for a redemption price payable in shares of common stock or receive an increased dividend rate of 18% on all of such holder’s outstanding convertible preferred stock. Late fees will apply on all redemption amounts not paid within five trading days of the payment date.

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the warrants will be exercisable at any time after their date of issuance and on or before the fifth-year anniversary thereafter at an exercise price of $0.03 per share of common stock. The exercise price of the warrants and, in some cases, the number of shares issuable upon exercise, are subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise will also be adjusted if we sell or grant any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then exercise price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by us pro rata to the holders of our common stock to the same extent as if such holders had exercised all of their warrants. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of their warrants, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction.

 

The securities purchase agreement and the certificate of designation authorizing the Series F convertible preferred stock include certain agreements and covenants for the benefit of the holders of the convertible preferred stock, including restrictions on our ability to amend the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, pay cash dividends or distributions with respect to our common stock or other junior securities, repurchase more than a de minimis number of shares of our common stock or other junior securities.

 

With very limited exceptions, the investors will have a pro rata right of first refusal in respect of participation in any private debt or equity financings undertaken by us during the 12 months following the closing of the transaction.

 

We offered these securities privately pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. We entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the public resale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock, issuable as dividends on the preferred stock, issuable upon exercise of the warrants and issued as a finders’ fee.

 

We agreed to file the registration statement within 25 days of the closing of the transaction and to use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 75 days after the filing date. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on April 16, 2014.

 

In addition, until the first anniversary date of the securities purchase agreement, each investor could, in its sole determination, elect to purchase, severally and not jointly with the other investors, in one or more purchases, in the ratio of such investor's original subscription amount to the original aggregate subscription amount of all investors, additional units consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants at a purchase price of $1,000 per unit with an aggregate subscription amount thereof of up to $2,075,000, which units would be identical to the units of convertible preferred stock and warrants issued in connection with the March 2014 closing. These additional exercise rights expired without being exercised in March 2015.

In addition, if, during the six-month period after the issuance of the warrants and continuing until such time that all of the securities may be sold without our meeting the current public information requirement under Securities Act rule 144(c)(1), we fail to meet such requirement, we will pay liquidate damages equal to 2.0% of the purchase price paid by each investor, payable in cash every 30 days until current public information for Generex is available or is no longer required for the investors to rely on Rule 144 to transfer the securities (including underlying securities) acquired under the securities purchase agreement.

Under the June 17, 2013 securities purchase agreement, for a period of up to one year, each investor may, in its sole determination, elect to purchase, in one or more purchases, additional units consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants at a purchase price in the amount originally purchased by such investor (the “Greenshoe”). The units purchased in the Greenshoe will be identical to the units of convertible preferred stock and warrants originally issued pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

The purchase closed on January 15, 2014. Each unit was sold at a negotiated price of $1,000, for an aggregate purchase price of $800,000. An aggregate of 53,333,336 shares of the Company’s common stock are initially issuable upon conversion of, or exercise of, the convertible preferred stock and warrants.

 

With very limited exceptions, the investors will have a pro rata right of first refusal in respect of participation in any private debt or equity financings undertaken by us during the 12 months following the closing of the transaction.

 

We offered these securities privately pursuant to Rule 506(b) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933. This offering is subject to the registration rights agreement dated June 17, 2013 with the investors pursuant to which we agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC covering the public resale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the preferred stock, issuable as dividends on the preferred stock, issuable upon exercise of the warrants and issued as a finders’ fee.

 

We agreed to file the registration statement within 25 days of the closing of the transaction and to use our best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 75 days after the filing date. The registration statement was declared effective by the SEC on February 7, 2014.

 

In addition, if, during the six-month period after the issuance of the warrants and continuing until such time that all of the securities may be sold without our meeting the current public information requirement under Securities Act rule 144(c)(1), we fail to meet such requirement, we will pay liquidate damages equal to 2.0% of the purchase price paid by each investor, payable in cash every 30 days until current public information for Generex is available or is no longer required for the investors to rely on Rule 144 to transfer the securities (including underlying securities) acquired under the securities purchase agreement.

*Upon issuance of securities at a price per share of common stock less than the then applicable exercise price, the warrants are subject to anti-dilution adjustment of the exercise price and to the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each warrant such that the aggregate exercise price payable upon exercise of the warrant will be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. Due to the anti-dilution adjustment provision of these warrants, they have been reclassified on Generex’s balance sheet as a liability under the caption “Derivative Warrant Liability” with any changes in fair value at each reporting period recorded in earnings in accordance with ASC 815.

 

In addition, we may receive additional proceeds from the exercise of warrants issued in connection with the securities purchase agreement and related documents that we entered into on March 31, 2008 with existing institutional investors relating to a private placement of 8% secured convertible notes (the “Notes”) and warrants (the “Series Warrants”) for aggregate gross proceeds to us of $20,650,000.  As of June 1, 2009, the outstanding principal balance and accrued interest on the Notes were satisfied in full.

 

-49-

The Series Warrants issued in connection with the March 2008 securities purchase agreement included:

 

(i)Series A and A-1 Warrants, which are exercisable for a period of 7 years into an aggregate of 75% of the number of shares of our common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes, with the Series A Warrants being exercisable into 5,257,729 shares immediately upon issuance and the Series A-1 warrants being exercisable into 7,541,857 shares as of October 1, 2008;

 

(ii)Series B Warrants, which became exercisable on October 1, 2008 into 100% of the shares of our common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes (initially 17,066,166 shares) and remain exercisable for a period of 18 months after the registration statement covering the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion or exercise of the Notes and Warrants was declared effective by the SEC; and

 

(iii)Series C Warrants, which are exercisable for a period of 7 years as of October 1, 2008, but only to the extent that the Series B Warrant are exercised and only in the same percentage that the Series B Warrants are exercised, up to a maximum percentage of 75% of the number of shares of our common stock initially issuable upon conversion of the Notes (initially a maximum of 12,799,580 shares).

 

The initial exercise price of each Series Warrant was $1.21.  The Series Warrants include a cashless exercise feature. The exercise price of the Series Warrants was subsequently reduced initially to $0.50, then to $0.33, to $0.25, to $0.15, to $0.08, to $0.03 and currently to $0.015 as a result of a price protection provision triggered by our offering of stock in private placements in May 2009, January and July 2011 and February, August 2012, December 2012 and June 2015.  This price protection feature allows for the reduction in the exercise price of the Series Warrants in the event we subsequently issue common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, such as options and warrants, at a price per share less than the Series Warrant exercise price then in effect. In addition, with any reduction to the Series Warrant exercise price, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each Series Warrant will be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate Series Warrant exercise price payable for the adjusted number of shares issuable upon exercise will be the same as the aggregate Series Warrant exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. We account for these warrants with price protection in accordance with ASC 815 as described in Note 10 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this registration statement.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding the elimination of the reporting requirement for development stage entities and removed the definition of development stage entity from the Accounting Standards Codification. We adopted this guidance effective for the Company’s annual fiscal year ended July 31, 2014. The adoption of this new accounting guidance resulted in the elimination of the inception-to-date financial information in the consolidated statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ deficiency and statements of cash flows, as well as the removal of the subheading “A Development Stage Company” from the consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. The guidance will be effective for our first quarter of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on our consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance will be effective for our annual fiscal year ended July 31, 2017 and subsequent interim periods. We are currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on our consolidated financial statements.

 

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to market risks associated with changes in the exchange rates between U.S. and Canadian currencies and with changes in the interest rates related to our fixed rate debt. We do not believe that any of these risks will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

At the present time, we maintain our cash in short-term government or government guaranteed instruments, short-term commercial paper, and interest bearing bank deposits or demand bank deposits which do not earn interest. A substantial majority of these instruments and deposits are denominated in U.S. dollars, with the exception of funds denominated in Canadian dollars on deposit in Canadian banks to meet short-term operating needs in Canada. We do not presently employ any hedging or similar strategy intended to mitigate against losses that could be incurred as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rates between U.S. and Canadian currencies.

 

As of April 30, 2015, we did not have any fixed rate debt. We have neither issued nor own any long-term debt instruments, or any other financial instruments, for trading purposes to which we would be subject to material market risks.

 

We have warrants outstanding with price protection provisions that allow for the reduction in the exercise price of the warrants in the event we subsequently issue common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, such as options and warrants, at a price per share less than the warrant exercise price then in effect. In addition, with any reduction to the warrant exercise price, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each warrant will be increased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate warrant exercise price payable for the adjusted number of shares issuable upon exercise will be the same as the aggregate warrant exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. We account for the warrants with price protection in accordance with FASB ASC 815. We recognize the warrants with price protection in our consolidated balance sheet as liabilities. The warrant liability is revalued at each reporting period and changes in fair value are recognized currently in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption Change in fair value of derivative warrant liability. While the change in fair value of the derivative warrant liability has no effect on our cash flows, the gains or losses can have a significant impact on non-operating income and expenses and thus the net income or loss. As of April 30, 2015, there were 239,788,852 warrants outstanding subject to price protection provisions with an estimated fair value of $2,689,240 or $0.011 per warrant. If the estimated fair value of the warrants increases, there will be a corresponding non-operating expense equal to the change in the value of the liability. Likewise, if the estimated fair value of the warrants decreases, there will be a corresponding non-operating gain equal to the change in the value of the liability. There is a directly proportional relationship between the fair value of the warrants and the market price of the stock; therefore increases or decreases in the market price will lead to corresponding increases or decreases in the value of the warrant liability and result in losses or gains, respectively, on our consolidated statements of operations.

Director and Officer Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings

 

There are no material proceedings to which any director, executive officer or affiliate of the Company, any owner of record or beneficial owner of more than five percent of any class of voting securities of the Company, or any associate of any such director, executive officer, affiliate or security holder is a party adverse to the Company or has a material interest adverse to the Company. There are no family relationships between any of the Company’s executive officers or directors and there are no arrangements or understandings between a director and any other person pursuant to which such person was elected as director. There were no material changes to the procedures by which shareholders may recommend nominees to the Board since the Company’s last disclosure of such policies.

 

To the best of our knowledge, none of the following events have occurred during the past ten years that are material to an evaluation of the ability or integrity of any director, director nominee or executive officer of the Company:

 

  any bankruptcy petition filed by or against, or any appointment of a receiver, fiscal agent or similar Officer for, the business or property of such person, or any partnership in which such person was a general partner or any corporation of which such person was an executive officer either, in each case, at the time of the filing for bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;

 

  any conviction in a criminal proceeding or being subject to a pending criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations and other minor offenses);

 

  being subject to any order, judgment, or decree, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any court of competent jurisdiction, permanently or temporarily enjoining such person from, or otherwise limiting, the following activities:

 

(i)  acting as a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator, floor broker, leverage transaction merchant, any other person regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or an associated person of any of the foregoing, or as an investment adviser, underwriter, broker or dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director or employee of any investment company, bank, savings and loan association or insurance company, or

-57-

 

(ii)  engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with such activity;

 

(iii) engaging in any type of business practice; or engaging in any activity in connection with the purchase or sale of any security or commodity or in connection with any violation of federal or state securities laws or federal commodities laws.

 

  being found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action, the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission to have violated a federal or state securities or federal commodities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the SEC or the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated;

 

  being the subject of, or a party to, any federal or state judicial or administrative order, judgment, decree or finding, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, relating to an alleged violation of any federal or state securities or commodities law or regulation, any law or regulation respecting financial instructions or insurance companies, including, but not limited to, a temporary or permanent injunction, order of disgorgement or restitution, civil money penalty or temporary or permanent cease-and-desist order, or removal or prohibition order, or any law or regulation prohibiting mail or wire fraud or fraud in connection with any business entity; or

 

  being the subject of, or a party to, any sanction or order, not subsequently reversed, suspended or vacated, of any self-regulatory organization (as defined in Section 3(a) (26) of the Exchange Act), any registered entity (as defined in Section 1(a) (29) of the Commodity Exchange Act), or any equivalent exchange, association, entity or organization that has disciplinary authority over its members or person associated with a member.

 

Director Independence

 

The Board of Directors currently consists of four members, two of whom are “independent” as defined under applicable rules of the SEC and The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC. The two independent members of the Board of Directors are Brian T. McGee and James H. Anderson.

 

For a director to be considered independent, the Board must determine that the director has no relationship which, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

 

All members of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee must be independent directors under NASDAQ rules. Members of the Audit Committee also must satisfy a separate SEC independence requirement, which provides that they may not accept directly or indirectly any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the Company or any of its subsidiaries other than their directors’ compensation. In addition, under SEC rules, an Audit Committee member who is an affiliate of the issuer (other than through service as a director) cannot be deemed to be independent.

 

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

 

Compensation, Discussion & Analysis

 

Compensation Philosophy

 

We are a development stage company focused on research, development, and commercialization of our proprietary drug delivery platform for administration of large molecule drugs to the oral cavity through a hand-held aerosol spray applicator. We are in the process of developing proprietary formulations of drugs that can be delivered through an oral spray thereby eliminating the need for injections and have focused on our Oral-lyn™ insulin formulation, which is administered as a spray into the oral cavity. We also have a subsidiary, Antigen Express, which focuses on developing proprietary immunomedicines.

 

-58-

As a development stage company, our future depends on the ability of our executives to obtain necessary regulatory approvals to launch Oral-lyn™ in key markets such as the United States, Canada, and Europe, as well as furthering the development of other products in our pipeline through the clinical trial and regulatory process. Attracting, retaining, and motivating key executives who can lead Generex through this process is critical to our success. We have a small executive team that works together closely. Our executives perform multiple roles and need to be able to respond to changing market dynamics quickly.

 

For these reasons, we seek to ensure that our compensation programs are competitive with similarly sized companies with which we compete for executive talent. The goals of our executive compensation program are to attract and retain top executives, to motivate executives to achieve our business objectives, to align executive and shareholder interests, and to recognize individual contributions and overall business success.

 

During the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors evaluated the types and amounts of compensation that it believed were appropriate for our President and Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Operating Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, who are considered Generex’s policy making executives and who are listed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 63. We refer herein to these executives as the “named executives.”

 

In addition to the compensation of our named executives, the Compensation Committee also reviews and approves the compensation of members of our senior management, including the President of our subsidiary, Antigen Express, Inc.

 

The three members of the Compensation Committee served throughout fiscal 2014. During fiscal 2014, the Compensation Committee convened three times to evaluate and discuss compensation for the named executives.

 

Historically, the key components of our executive compensation have been base salary, cash bonuses, and equity incentives, including stock bonuses, restricted stock, and stock options awarded at the discretion of our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors. As a development stage company, we have reviewed compensation of our named executives annually and at the discretion of the Compensation Committee as warranted by our financial condition and achievement of our business goals. While the elements of compensation are considered separately, the Compensation Committee ultimately considers the value of the total compensation package provided to the individual named executive.

 

The Compensation Committee believes the company’s compensation program must take into account the following factors:

 past levels of compensation adjustments;
the expected transition of the company from a development stage company to an operating company;
the nature of the regulatory approval process for the company’s products; and
 the Potential for growth of the company in the event that regulatory approvals are obtained.

 

In fiscal 2014, the Compensation Committee reviewed, but did not implement any changes to base salaries for any of the named executives and did not award any equity incentive awards or cash bonuses to the named executives during fiscal 2014 for fiscal 2013 performance and contributions. The Compensation Committee has not made any determinations as to compensation or equity awards for the named executives with respect to performance or contributions for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014, but the Compensation Committee expects to consider the matter in the future during fiscal 2015.

 

In administering the executive compensation program, our Compensation Committee has relied upon market data provided on a periodic basis by external consultants, as well as its own understanding and assessment of executive compensation trends. In its consideration of compensation for the named executives, the Compensation Committee has reviewed compensation data for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the past, market data provided by external compensation consultants, compensation data compiled by a third-party compensation data firm and publicly available executive compensation data for publicly traded companies.

-59-

 

Use of Compensation Consultant and Benchmarking

 

In the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014, the Compensation Committee did not engage any compensation consultants or engage in benchmarking activities. The Compensation Committee last undertook a comprehensive review of compensation and engaged a compensation consultant in November 2009, but expects to do so again in the future before any significant changes are made to compensation for the named executives.

 

Determination of Compensation

 

The Compensation Committee typically makes compensation determinations, including any increases in base salary for the next calendar year and any bonuses in respect of the prior fiscal year, before or during the first calendar quarter of each year. The Compensation Committee follows such a schedule in order to eliminate the need to award retroactive salary increases. In addition, the Compensation Committee has typically reviewed compensation arrangements in the first calendar quarter to ensure that compensation levels are appropriate in light of Generex’s financial position and performance at that time. Due to the current financial position of the company, the Committee did not follow such a schedule in fiscal 2014, as there were no salary changes or bonus awards made.

 

In considering whether to award bonuses in respect of fiscal year 2013 or to make changes to base compensation for calendar year 2014, the Compensation Committee primarily considered the Company’s current financial position, and no increases were made to base salary, nor were any cash bonuses or stock incentive awards granted to the named executives during fiscal 2014.

 

Components of Compensation

 

Base Salary

 

Base salary provides a fixed amount of compensation necessary to retain key executives. It is guaranteed compensation to the named executives for performance of core duties. Base salaries for the named executives may be adjusted upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee and ratification by the Board of Directors. Historically, annual base salaries for the named executives have been reviewed periodically relative to the base pay levels for each executive’s position based on the peer group. The Compensation Committee last undertook such a review in November 2009. Levels of base salary are generally targeted at the market’s second quartile (51% – 75%), but also reflect the compensation goals adopted by the Compensation Committee, operational goals determined by management, the named executive’s individual performance, contribution of the named executive to overall corporate performance, and the level of responsibility of the named executive with respect to his or her specific position. The level of base salary also reflects multiple titles and additional responsibilities of the named executives driven by the operational needs of the company.

 

Salary adjustments for the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer were last made to base salary compensation in September 2010 and March 2011, respectively. In determining the levels of the base salary adjustments for the named executives, the Compensation Committee primarily considered the respective executive’s new positions and responsibilities.

 

In September 2010, our Executive Vice President and General Counsel was appointed to interim President and Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, a base salary adjustment of $150,000 or 46% to $475,000 effective immediately. The increase was considered appropriate in relation to the assumption of the additional duties and responsibilities of the new role, in addition to his duties as General Counsel, as well as based on the comparison to peer companies prepared by the compensation consultant in fiscal 2010. For fiscal 2014, Mr. Fletcher received only $435,115 of his base salary in cash, agreeing to defer the remainder of his salary. As discussed below and described in detail in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the full Board of Directors approved, the issuance of options to purchase shares of our common stock in lieu of cash payment of such deferred salary.

 

In March 2011, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Special Committee of the Board of Directors approved a base salary adjustment of 12.5% for our VP Finance from $200,000 to $225,000, effective retroactive to January 1, 2011, in connection with his appointment to Chief Financial Officer. The increase was considered appropriate in relation to the assumption of the additional duties and responsibilities of the new role. For fiscal 2014, Mr. Fellows received only $206,250 of his base salary in cash, agreeing to defer the remainder of his salary. As discussed below and described in detail in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table, the

-60-

Compensation Committee recommended, and the full Board of Directors approved, the issuance of options to purchase shares of our common stock in lieu of cash payment of such deferred salary.

 

In March 2011, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Special Committee of the Board of Directors approved, the hiring and appointment of our Chief Operating Officer at an annual base salary of $225,000 effective immediately. The base salary was considered appropriate in relation to the salaries of our other executives and the responsibilities of the role of Chief Operating Officer. For fiscal 2014, Mr. Brusegard received only $206,250 of his base salary in cash, agreeing to defer the remainder of his salary. As discussed below and described in detail in the footnotes to the Summary Compensation Table, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the full Board of Directors approved, the issuance of options to purchase shares of our common stock in lieu of cash payment of such deferred salary.

 

Cash Bonuses

 

Performance-based compensation is a key component of our compensation philosophy. Historically, cash bonuses have been provided to attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified executives on a competitive basis and provide financial incentives that promote company success. From time to time in the past, the Compensation Committee has granted bonuses to reward achievement relative to specific performance objectives. In awarding bonuses, the Compensation Committee considers various factors, including the named executive’s position within Generex, attainment of specific business objectives and performance milestones, and the named executive’s individual contributions thereto. The Committee exercises discretion with respect to the weight that it gives to these and other factors in determining bonuses. The Compensation Committee also retains discretion with respect to whether any bonuses are paid to the named executives, the amounts of any such bonuses, and the form of any such bonuses.

 

The Compensation Committee did not grant or accrue any bonuses in fiscal 2014, with respect to the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, in consideration of the current financial position of the company.

 

Long-Term Incentives and Equity Awards

 

Our compensation program also includes long-term incentive compensation in the form of equity grants subject to a vesting schedule. We believe such incentive compensation further aligns the interests of management with those of stockholders and enhances shareholder value. Currently, we do not have any long-term cash incentive programs in place for the named executives.

 

Long-term equity incentive grants are discretionary. In determining whether such grants are warranted, the Compensation Committee considers our compensation strategy, market practice concerning long-term incentives provided to executives at peer companies and within the broader market, and the named executive’s specific roles within Generex. At the present, equity incentive awards are subject to vesting over a period of time and are not tied to specific performance measures.

 

Equity grants have historically been made through stock options under our various plans, including Generex’s 2001 Stock Option Plan, as amended, and the Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Plan, which also allows grants of restricted stock. We consider the costs to the company of granting stock options under Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 123(R) as compared to the costs to named executives of higher income tax liabilities associated with the granting of restricted stock.

 

There were no discretionary awards of options to purchase shares of our common stock to our named executives in fiscal 2014 with the exception of the following: the Company granted options to purchase, in the aggregate, 3,945,624 shares of our common stock to the named executives in full and final payment of obligations to pay such individuals deferred salary accrued during the period from July 1, 2013 through October 31, 2013. The options were issued in lieu of cash payment of deferred compensation amounts due to such individuals. The number of options granted to each individual was equal to the dollar amount of deferred salary or fees due to such individual divided by the closing price of the Company's common stock on October 30, 2013 ($0.03). The stock options had an exercise price equal to $0.001 per share and were made pursuant to the terms of the Company's 2006 Stock Plan. The options were fully vested at January 1, 2014 and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. The grants were valued at the amount of deferred compensation owed to each such individual.

-61-

 

The number of options that the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved, in respect of the above salary deferrals to the named executives described above were as follows:

 

 

Named Executive

No. of Shares

Underlying Options

Mr. Fletcher 2,254,640
Mr. Fellows 845,492
Dr. Brusegard 845,492

 

Benefits and Perquisites

 

Named executives may participate in benefit plans that are offered generally to salaried employees such as short and long term disability, health and welfare benefits, and paid time off.

 

We provide very limited perquisites. During fiscal 2014, we provided our President and Chief Executive Officer a car allowance with an estimated value of $800 per month to compensate use of his car for business purposes.

 

We do not offer deferred compensation plans, defined benefit plans, supplemental executive retirement plans, supplemental life insurance, benefit restoration plans, or tax gross-ups on change-in-control benefits.

 

Employment and Severance Agreements

 

During fiscal 2014, we had terms of employment covering our President and Chief Executive Officer, as described in “Employment Agreements and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-In-Control”, which clarify the terms and conditions of his employment. These terms provide clarity concerning the employment relationship and provide a competitive benefit level to the executive, thus promoting stability at the President and Chief Executive Officer position.

 

We have agreed to provide severance benefits to the President and Chief Executive Officer as set forth in the terms of his employment. The intent of such severance is to provide the President and Chief Executive Officer with financial security in the event of a covered termination (including change in control) and to thus support executive retention. To be eligible for certain benefits, including cash payments, under these arrangements, a named executive must experience a covered termination, which may include a change in control, a material reduction in executive compensation, a material change in duties, or a material breach in the agreement by Generex, The benefits payable to our President and Chief Executive Officer upon a change in control of Generex require two conditions, or “double triggers,” to be satisfied: the change in control must occur, and the named executive’s employment must be terminated, voluntarily or involuntarily, as a result of such event. Under the terms of employment, our President and Chief Executive Officer would receive a benefit upon a change in control only if he terminates his employment in connection with such event.

 

As of the end of fiscal 2014, each of the current named executive officers held stock options or restricted stock granted pursuant to either the 2001 Stock Option Plan or the 2006 Stock Plan. The 2001 Plan provides that outstanding options will become immediately exercisable and vested upon a change in control, unless the Board of Directors or its designee determines otherwise. In the event that Generex will not be the surviving corporation, the Board or its designee has flexibility under the 2001 Plan to determine how to treat stock options. The 2001 Plan does not condition the acceleration and vesting of stock options in such an event upon an option holder’s termination of employment; however, the terms of the 2001 Plan provide that, unless otherwise provided by the Board or its designee, an option holder can exercise outstanding options after the date of his or her termination of employment only if the option holder voluntarily terminated employment with Generex or was terminated without cause by Generex. Under the terms of the 2006 Plan, unvested stock options and restricted stock will become exercisable or unrestricted, as applicable, thirty days prior to the change-in-control event and such acceleration is not conditioned upon the termination of a participant’s employment with Generex. The 2006 Plan further provides that if Generex is not the surviving corporation as a result of a change in control, all outstanding options that are not exercised will be assumed by, or replaced with comparable options or rights by, the surviving corporation, and outstanding grants of restricted stock will be converted to similar grants of equity in the surviving corporation.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

 

The Compensation Committee considers implications of tax and accounting requirements impacting compensation programs from the perspective of the company and the individual named executive officers. The Compensation Committee may also consider sections of the tax code which impact Generex or individual taxpayers. For U.S. taxpayers, the Committee structures its programs to comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

Given the high individual income tax liabilities which result from the awarding of restricted stock to our executives who are all tax residents of Canada, the Compensation Committee expects to grant future equity awards in the form of stock options for the foreseeable future.

 

Compensation Committee Report

The number of options granted to Mr. Fletcher on June 6, 2013 was equal to the dollar amount of his deferred salary ($50,000) divided by the closing price of the Company's common stock on June 4, 2013 ($0.0325), less the option exercise price of $0.001 per share.

Compensation Elements; Employment Agreements and Agreements Providing Payments Upon Retirement, Termination or Change in Control for Named Executives

 

Historically, the key components of our executive compensation have been base salary, cash bonuses, and equity incentives, including stock bonuses, restricted stock, and stock options awarded at the discretion of our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors. As a development stage company, we have reviewed compensation of our executive management team from time to time and at the discretion of the Compensation Committee when warranted by our financial condition and achievement of our business goals.

 

Set forth below are the material terms of employment for the President and Chief Executive Officer as of the end of fiscal 2014. The terms of employment provide for certain payments upon retirement, termination or change in control. Such benefits are in addition to benefits available generally to salaried employees who joined the company prior to 2013, such as distributions under the 401(k) savings plan, disability and death benefits and accrued vacation pay.

 

Terms of Employment for Mr. Fletcher

 

On March 17, 2003, our Board of Directors approved the terms and conditions of Mr. Fletcher’s employment, prior to his joining Generex on or about April 21, 2003. Pursuant to the terms of his employment, Mr. Fletcher holds the position of Executive Vice President and General Counsel. Subject to termination in accordance with the terms and conditions of his employment, Mr. Fletcher's term of service extends through March 16, 2008, which term has not been formally extended to date. Mr. Fletcher is entitled to receive annual base compensation and may receive additional cash bonuses at the discretion of the Board of Directors.

-65-

 

On September 29, 2010, Generex and Mr. Fletcher agreed to amend the terms of Mr. Fletcher’s employment to provide that the replacement of Ms. Gluskin as a director or Chief Executive Officer will not constitute a “change of control” and to provide for an increase in Mr. Fletcher’s base salary (to $475,000) upon his appointment as interim Chief Executive Officer.  Under the terms of his employment with Generex, Mr. Fletcher is entitled to receive annual base compensation and may receive additional cash bonuses at the discretion of the Board.

 

The terms of his employment provide that Mr. Fletcher will be bound by standard restrictive covenants prohibiting him from disclosing confidential information about Generex. Either party may give at least 12 months’ notice of non-renewal of the term; if such notice is not given, the term of employment will be indefinite.

 

Generex may terminate its obligations with respect to Mr. Fletcher’s employment as follows:

   (i) upon 30 days written notice;
   (ii) for “cause”;

   (iii) in the event of Mr. Fletcher’s disability;
   (iv) in the event of Mr. Fletcher’s death; or

   (v) in the event of Mr. Fletcher voluntarily resigning.

 

Mr. Fletcher may terminate his obligations upon 30 days written notice upon:

 

   (a) a material change in his duties,
   (b) a material reduction in compensation,
   (c) a material breach or default by Generex, or
   (d) a change in control of Generex.

 

In the event that Mr. Fletcher terminates his employment voluntarily (and not under the circumstances described in (a), (b), (c) or (d) above) or Generex terminates his employment under the circumstances described in (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) above, Mr. Fletcher will be entitled only to that portion of his base salary due and owing as of his last day worked, less any amounts owed to Generex. Under these circumstances, he will not be entitled to any bonus or incentive compensation.

 

If Generex terminates Mr. Fletcher’s employment under the circumstance described in (i) above (and not for cause, disability or death) or Mr. Fletcher gives notice of termination pursuant to (a), (b), (c) or (d) above, Mr. Fletcher will be entitled to receive a lump sum severance payment on the termination date in an amount equal to 18 months of base salary plus the average annual bonus paid to him during each fiscal year of the term of his employment and he will be entitled to participate in and receive benefits for 18 months after the termination date. Mr. Fletcher will have 90 days after the eighteenth month anniversary of the termination date to exercise vested options, and all unvested options that he holds will accelerate and fully vest on the termination date. He has no duty to mitigate his damages based on the termination of employment.

 

 

Outstanding Equity Awards at 2014 Fiscal Year-End

 

The following table provides information on the current holdings of stock option by the named executives. This table includes unexercised and unvested option awards as of July 31, 2014. Each equity grant is shown separately for each named executive. The vesting schedule for each outstanding award is set forth in the footnotes to the table. We do not have any current “stock awards” or “equity incentive plans” as defined in Regulation S-K Item 402(a)(6)(iii); thus, the columns relating to stock awards and equity incentive awards are not included in the table below.

(1) Effective October 1, 2011, Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Fellows and Dr. Brusegard agreed to defer a portion of their salaries and their respective base salaries were reduced. In June 2012, March 2013, June 2013 and October 2013, the Company granted the named executives stock options in full and final payment of obligations to pay their deferred salary amounts covering the periods from October 1, 2011 to May 31, 2012, June 1, 2012 to March 31, 2013, April 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013 and July 1 to October 31, 2013, respectively. The options were issued in lieu of cash payment of the deferred compensation amount. The number of options granted to each named executive on October 31, 2013 was equal to the dollar amount of deferred salary divided by the closing price of the Company's common stock on October 30, 2013 ($0.03), less the option exercise price of $0.001 per share. The number of options granted to each named executive on June 6, 2013 was equal to the dollar amount of deferred salary divided by the closing price of the Company's common stock on June 4, 2013 ($0.0325), less the option exercise price of $0.001 per share. The number of options granted to each named executive on April 1, 2013 was equal to the dollar amount of deferred salary divided by the closing price of the Company's common stock on March 5, 2013 ($0.034), less the option exercise price of $0.001 per share. The number of options granted on June 6, 2012 was equal to the dollar amount of the deferred salary for each named executive divided by the closing price of the Company's common stock on June 6, 2012 ($0.0925), less the option exercise price of $0.001 per share. The stock options were granted pursuant to the terms of the Company's 2006 Stock Plan. The options were fully vested at the dates of grant (except for the October 31, 2013 grant which vested on January 1, 2014) and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the dates of grant. Mr. Fellows exercised some of his options on June 18, 2013 (2,524,164) and June 25, 2012 (546,448). See footnotes (2) and (6) to the “Summary Compensation Table” above for further description of these option grants.

The exercise price per share is equal to the closing price of Generex common stock on March 25, 2011. These options were exercisable immediately upon their grant

 

-67-

(3) These options were granted on March 8, 2010. The grants were made pursuant to the terms of our 2006 Stock Plan.

The options vested as follows: 33% of the options were exercisable on the date of grant; 33% of the options became exercisable on August 1, 2010, and the remaining 33% of the options became exercisable on August 1, 2011.

 

(4) These stock options were approved by the Board of Directors on April 5, 2005 with an effective grant date of December 13, 2004. The exercise price per share is equal to the closing price of Generex common stock on December 13, 2004. These options were exercisable immediately upon their grant. The fair value of Generex common stock on April 5, 2005 was $0.56 per share. The expiry date of these options was extended in October 2009 to October 26, 2014.

 

(5) These options were granted to Mr. Fletcher representing a bonus of $200,000 awarded to Mr. Fletcher on April 5, 2005. The number of shares awarded was calculated using the closing price of the common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market on December 13, 2004 ($0.61 per share). The options were immediately exercisable on the date of grant. They were issued under the 2001 Plan. The fair value of Generex common stock on April 5, 2005 was $0.56 per share. The expiry date of these options was extended in October 2009 to October 26, 2014.

 

(6) These options were issued to Mr. Fletcher on April 5, 2005 in satisfaction of retroactive salary adjustment as of August 1, 2004 and unpaid salary amounts accrued through March 31, 2005 ($80,000). The number of shares was calculated using the closing price of the common stock on the NASDAQ Capital Market on April 4, 2005 ($0.56 per share). The options were immediately exercisable on the date of grant and were issued under the 2001 Plan. The expiry date of these options was extended in October 2009 to October 26, 2014.

 

(7) These options were granted on October 10, 2009. The grants were made pursuant to the terms of our 2006 Stock Plan.

The options vest equally over a four-year period starting with the first anniversary of the grant on October 10, 2010.

The following table shows potential payments to our named executives under existing employment agreements, plans or arrangements, whether written or unwritten, for various scenarios involving termination of employment or a change in control, assuming termination on July 31, 2014 and, if applicable, based upon the closing stock price of Generex common stock on that date. These benefits are in addition to benefits available generally to salaried employees who joined the company prior to 2014, such as distributions under the 401(k) savings plan, disability and death benefits and accrued vacation pay.

 

The following table provides the intrinsic value (that is, the value based upon Generex’s stock price, and in the case of options minus the exercise price) of equity awards that would become exercisable or vested if the named executive had died or become disabled or been terminated as of July 31, 2014.

 

The terms of employment for Mr. Fletcher do not provide specific definitions for the various termination events. For the purposes of the table, below are the standard definitions for certain termination events as defined in the Amended Generex 2001 Stock Option Plan, which we refer to as the “2001 Plan,” and the Amended and Restated 2006 Stock Plan, which refer to as the “2006 Plan.”

-68-

 

"Cause" means that a named executive has:

 

  (i) breached his or her employment or service contract with Generex;
  (ii) engaged in disloyalty to Generex, including, without limitation, fraud, embezzlement, theft, commission of a felony or proven dishonesty in the course of his or her employment or service;

  (iii) disclosed trade secrets or confidential information of Generex to persons not entitled to receive such information;
  (iv) breached any written confidentiality, non-competition or non-solicitation agreement between the named executive and Generex; or

  (v) has engaged in such other behavior detrimental to the interests of Generex as determined by the Compensation Committee.

“Change in Control” means any of the following:

 

  (i) a liquidation or dissolution of Generex,
  (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of Generex’s assets,

  (iii) a merger in which Generex’s stockholders hold less than a majority of the voting stock in the surviving corporation, or
  (iv) when a person or group acquires control of a significant percentage of the voting stock without the approval of the Board of Directors (20% under the 2001 Plan and 50% or more under the 2006 Plan).

 

“Disability" means being unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment which can be expected to result in death or which has lasted or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12 months.

 

There are no existing employment agreements, plans or arrangements, whether written or unwritten, for various scenarios involving termination of employment or a change in control governing Mr. Fellows’ and Dr. Brusegard’s employment. There are no benefits made available to them which are in addition to benefits available generally to salaried employees who joined the company prior to 2013 and as such neither Mr. Fellows, nor Dr. Brusegard are included in the table below.

 

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control for Named Executives as of July 31, 2014

Name Benefit   Cause   Without Cause/Non-Renewal   Voluntary Termination by Executive   Breach by Generex (1)   Change in Control   Disability   Death

(1) This termination event includes a material change in duties or material reduction in remuneration of such named executive.
(2) The options granted on April 5, 2005 (including those effective as of December 13, 2004) survive termination of the named executive’s employment. Other options granted to the named executive pursuant to the 2001 Plan and any options granted pursuant to the 2006 Plan would terminate immediately - and shares underlying such options forfeited - upon the named executive’s termination for cause.
(3) The 2001 and 2006 Plans permit a named executive who voluntarily terminates employment with Generex or whose employment is terminated without cause to exercise vested options outstanding at the date of termination for a period of up to 90 days thereafter or the expiration date of the option, whichever is earlier.
-69-
(4) Pursuant to his employment arrangement, if Generex terminates Mr. Fletcher’s employment upon written notice (and not for cause, disability or death) or Mr. Fletcher gives notice of termination pursuant to a material change in duties, reduction of remuneration, material default or breach by Generex or change in control of Generex, Mr. Fletcher will be entitled to receive a lump sum severance payment on the termination date in an amount equal to 18 months of base salary plus the average annual bonus paid to him during each fiscal year of the term of his employment and he will be entitled to participate in and receive benefits for 18 months after the termination date.
(5) The 2001 and 2006 Plans permit a named executive to exercise vested options outstanding at the time of the named executive’s cessation of employment due to disability for a period of up to one year thereafter or the expiration of the option, whichever is earlier.
(6) The 2001 and 2006 Plans permit a named executive’s beneficiary to exercise vested options outstanding at the time of the named executive’s death for a period of up to one year after death or the expiration date of the option, whichever is earlier.
(7) The named executive would be entitled to receive health benefits for a period of 18 months after termination of employment. Since these benefits are widely available to salaried employees of Generex, they are excluded from the table above. The total aggregate value of these benefits in each case is below $8,000.
(8) Upon a change of control, the 2001 and 2006 Plan provide for the acceleration of exercisability and vesting of any outstanding options and removal of all restrictions and conditions on outstanding restricted stock awards, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors or its designee. We have assumed for purposes of this column that the named executive will exercise all of his fully exercisable and vested options and will receive all shares underlying restricted stock awards in connection with a change of control of Generex, which we have assumed occurred on July 31, 2014.
(9) Pursuant to the terms of his employment with Generex, if Generex terminates Mr. Fletcher’s employment upon written notice (and not for cause, disability or death) or Mr. Fletcher gives notice of termination pursuant to a material change in duties, reduction of remuneration, material default or breach by Generex or change in control of Generex, Mr. Fletcher will have 90 days after the eighteenth month anniversary of the termination date to exercise vested options.
(10) The named executive is entitled to receive monthly disability payments and his survivor(s) are entitled to receive a lump sum payment upon such named executive’s death, in either case up to an amount equal to his annual base salary or $100,000, whichever is less. Insurance premiums are paid by Generex and such insurance coverage is widely available to all salaried employees at Generex. Thus, the amounts payable upon the disability or death of the named executive (as well as the premiums paid by Generex) are excluded from the table above.
(11) The restricted stock award agreement with the named executive officer provides that in the event the named executive ceases to be employed by, or provide service to us, any unvested shares of restricted stock will be immediately forfeited.  There was no unvested restricted stock as of July 31, 2014.

(1)Includes the annual retainer and additional fees earned for directors who chair a Board committee or who serve on a Board committee or as chairman. Effective October 1, 2011, the directors agreed to defer payment of their board fees due to the current financial position of the company. In October 2013, the Company granted the directors stock options in full and final payment of obligations to pay their deferred board fee amounts covering the period from June 1, 2013 to October 31, 2013. The options were issued in lieu of cash payment of the deferred compensation amount. The number of options granted was equal to the dollar amount of the deferred board fees for each director divided by the closing price of the Company's common stock on October 30, 2013 ($0.03), less the option exercise price of $0.001 per share. The stock options were granted pursuant to the terms of the Company's 2006 Stock Plan. The options were fully vested as of January 1, 2014 and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant. The deferred board fee amounts paid in stock options and number of stock options granted are listed below.

(3)There were no incentive stock options granted to the directors in fiscal 2014. A portion of deferred board fees were repaid by the issuance of stock options which were granted in lieu of cash payment of the deferred compensation amount as described in footnote (1) directly above. At fiscal year end, the total number of stock options, inclusive of the stock options related to the salary deferrals in the tables above, held by each non-employee director was as follows: Mr. Barratt (4,869,531), Mr. McGee (2,755,327) and Dr. Anderson (2,845,950). Dr. von Hofe, who is an employee of our subsidiary Antigen, held 3,920,769 options at fiscal year-end.

The Company granted Dr. von Hofe 988,029 options in total on October 31, 2013 in full and final payment of obligations to pay Dr. von Hofe’s deferred salary amount covering the periods from July 1, 2013 to October 31, 2013. The options were issued in lieu of cash payment of the deferred compensation amount. The number of options granted to Dr. von Hofe was equal to the dollar amount of his deferred salary ($28,653) divided by the respective closing prices of the Company's common stock on October 30, 2013 ($0.03), less the option exercise price of $0.001 per share. The stock options were granted pursuant to the terms of the Company's 2006 Stock Plan. The options were fully vested as of January 1, 2014 and will expire on the fifth anniversary of the dates of grant. The remainder of the compensation was paid in cash.

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS

 

Changes in Control

 

We know of no arrangements, including any pledge by any person of our securities, the operation of which may at a subsequent date result in the change in control of Generex.

 

Review of Related Party Transactions

 

We presently have a policy requiring approval by stockholders or by a majority of disinterested directors of transactions in which one of our directors has a material interest apart from such director's interest in Generex. We also have a policy requiring the approval by the Audit Committee for any transactions in which a director or an executive officer has a material interest apart from such director's or officer’s interest in Generex.

 

Related Transactions

 

We are not aware of any transactions or arrangements falling within the scope of the above-mentioned policy on related party transactions.

 

Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management

 

The table on the following pages sets forth information regarding the beneficial ownership of the common stock by our directors and named executive officers (including persons who served as principal executive officer and principal financial officer during a portion of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014) and all the named executives and directors as a group. We are not aware of any person or group that beneficially owns more than five percent of our outstanding shares of common stock.

 

The information contained in this table is as of June 30, 2015. At that date, we had 819,940,304 shares of common stock outstanding. Mr. Barratt resigned from the board of directors on April 30, 2014, but has been included in the table below, as he served as a director throughout the fiscal year ended 2014.

 

A person is deemed to be a beneficial owner of shares if he has the power to vote or dispose of the shares. This power can be exclusive or shared, direct or indirect. In addition, a person is considered by SEC rules to beneficially own shares underlying options or warrants that are presently exercisable or that will become exercisable within sixty (60) days.

 

Except as otherwise indicated, the address of each person named in the table below is c/o Generex Biotechnology Corporation, 555 Richmond Street West, Suite 604, Toronto, Canada M5V 3B1.

Description of Our Capital Stock

See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

-73-

Common Stock

 

Holders of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share owned as of record on all matters on which shareholders may vote.  Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights in the election of directors.  Therefore, the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares can elect the entire Board of Directors.  The holders of common stock are entitled, upon liquidation or dissolution of the Company, to receive pro rata all remaining assets available for distribution to stockholders after payment to any preferred shareholders who may have preferential rights.  The common stock has no preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no conversion rights or redemption provisions. All outstanding shares of common stock are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

 

Series G Preferred Stock

 

The Series G convertible preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of common stock at a conversion ratio determined by dividing the stated value of the Series G convertible preferred stock, or $1,000, by a conversion price of $0.015 per share. As of July 15, 2015, an aggregate of 33,333,333 shares of our common stock are issuable upon conversion of the Series G convertible preferred stock all of which are being registered on this registration statement. The conversion price of the Series G convertible preferred stock will be subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The conversion price will also be adjusted if we sell or grant any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then conversion price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of the Series G convertible preferred stock will not have the right to convert any portion of its Series G convertible preferred stock if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to its conversion.

 

In addition, the holders of Series G convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by us pro rata to the holders of our common stock to the same extent as if such holders had converted all of their shares of Series G convertible preferred stock. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the holders of Series G convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive, upon conversion of their shares, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of our common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction.

We may become obligated to redeem the Series G convertible preferred stock in cash upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, including the failure to provide an effective registration statement covering shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series G convertible preferred stock, material breach of certain contractual obligations to the holders of the Series G convertible preferred stock, the occurrence of a change in control of the Company, the occurrence of certain insolvency events relating to the Company, or the failure of our common stock to continue to be listed or quoted for trading on one or more specified United States securities exchanges or regulated quotation service. Upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, each holder of Series G convertible preferred stock will have the option to redeem such holder’s shares of Series G convertible preferred stock for a redemption price payable in shares of common stock or receive an increased dividend rate of 18% on all of such holder’s outstanding Series G convertible preferred stock. Late fees will apply on all redemption amounts not paid within five trading days of the payment date.

The Series G convertible preferred stock will accrue a 9% dividend until June 24, 2018 and, beginning on June 24, 2018 and on each one year anniversary thereafter, such dividend rate will increase by an additional 3%. The dividend will be payable quarterly on September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30, beginning on the first such date after the original issue date and on each conversion date in cash, or at our option, in shares of common stock. In the event that the Series G convertible preferred stock is converted prior to June 24, 2018, we will pay the holder of the converted Series G convertible preferred stock an amount equal to $270 per $1,000 of stated value of the Series G convertible preferred stock, less the amount of all prior quarterly dividends paid on such converted Series G convertible preferred stock before the relevant conversion date. Such “make-whole payment” may be made in cash or, at our option, in shares of common stock.

-74-

Except as required by law, holders of the Series G convertible preferred stock are not entitled to voting rights, except that the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series G convertible preferred stock is required to take certain actions that may adversely affect the rights or preferences of the holders of Series G convertible preferred stock.

 

The securities purchase agreement and the certificate of designation authorizing the Series G convertible preferred stock include certain agreements and covenants for the benefit of the holders of the Series G convertible preferred stock, including restrictions on our ability to amend our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, pay cash dividends or distributions with respect to our common stock or other junior securities, repurchase more than a de minimis number of shares of our common stock or other junior, securities, issue additional equity securities for a period of 60 days after the initial closing, issue additional debt or equity securities with variable a conversion or exercise price for a period of 12 months after the initial closing, and undertake a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of our common stock (unless such reverse split is made in conjunction with the listing of the common stock on a national securities exchange), and a requirement to use our reasonable best efforts to maintain the listing or trading of our common stock on one or more specified United States securities exchanges or regulated quotation service.

 

We are also registering 36,133,549 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E & Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock at a price of $0.015 per share due to the triggering of ratchet provisions, including 9,733,934 shares issuable in lieu of the cash payment of dividends on the Series E & Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock; The terms of the Series E and Series F Convertible Preferred Stock are substantially the same as the Series G Convertible Preferred Stock.

 

Undesignated Preferred Stock

 

Our Board of Directors has the authority to issue up to 984,400 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and fix the number of shares constituting any such series, the voting powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including the dividend rights, dividend rate, terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), redemption price or prices, conversion rights and liquidation preferences of the shares constituting any series, without any further vote or action by the stockholders. For example, the Board of Directors is authorized to issue a series of preferred stock that would have the right to vote, separately or with any other series of preferred stock, on any proposed amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, or on any other proposed corporate action, including business combinations and other transactions.

 

The terms of any particular series of preferred stock will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of shares of that particular series of preferred and may include, among other things:

 

  the title and stated value;
  the number of shares authorized;
  the liquidation preference per share;
  the purchase price;
  the dividend rate, period and payment date, and method of calculation (including whether cumulative or non-cumulative);
  terms and amount of any sinking fund;
  provisions for redemption or repurchase, if applicable, and any restrictions on the ability of the company to exercise such redemption and repurchase rights;
  conversion rights and rates, if applicable, including the conversion price and how and when it will be calculated and adjusted;
  voting rights, if any;
  preemptive rights, if any;
  restrictions on sale, transfer and assignment, if any;
  the relative ranking and preferences of the preferred stock; and
  any other specific terms, rights or limitations of, or restrictions on, such preferred stock.

Warrants

 

An aggregate of 33,333,333 shares of our common stock are issuable upon exercise of the warrants issued on June 25, 2015 in connection with the issuance of the Series G convertible preferred stock.

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the warrants will be exercisable at any time after their date of issuance and on or before the fifth-year anniversary thereafter at an exercise price of $0.015 per share of common stock. The exercise price of the warrants and, in some cases, the number of shares issuable upon exercise, are subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise will also be adjusted if we sell or grant any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then exercise price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by us pro rata to the holders of our common stock to the same extent as if such holders had exercised all of their warrants. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of their warrants, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction. Any successor to us or surviving entity shall assume the obligations under the warrants.

 

The warrant holders must surrender payment in cash of the aggregate exercise price of the shares being acquired upon exercise of the warrants. If at any time after the six month anniversary of the initial exercise date (June 25, 2015), there is no effective registration statement registering, or no current prospectus available for the resale of the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants, then the warrants may only be exercised on a “net” or “cashless” basis. No fractional shares of common stock will be issued in connection with the exercise of a warrant. In lieu of fractional shares, we will pay the holder an amount in cash equal to the fractional amount multiplied by the exercise price.

 

We are also registering an aggregate 239,788,852 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise previously issued warrants at a price of $0.015 per share due to the triggering of ratchet provisions, The terms of the previously issued warrants are substantially the same as the warrants issued in connection with the Series G financing.

 

Anti-Takeover Provisions

 

We are not aware of any pending takeover attempt or interest in making such an attempt. Our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and Amended and Restated Bylaws contain certain provisions which may be deemed to be "anti-takeover" in that they may deter, discourage or make more difficult the assumption of control of Generex by another corporation or person through a tender offer, merger, proxy contest or similar transaction or series of transactions.

 

Authorized but Unissued Shares: The authorized but unissued shares of our common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval. The Board of Directors may set the rights, preferences and terms of new preferred stock, without shareholder approval. Shares of preferred stock could be issued quickly without shareholder approval, with terms calculated to delay or prevent a change in control of Generex. Our stockholders do not have preemptive rights with respect to the purchase of these shares. Therefore, such issuance could result in a dilution of voting rights and book value per share of the common stock.

 

Advance Notice Requirements for Stockholder Proposals and Director Nominations: Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that a stockholder seeking to bring business before an annual meeting of stockholders, or to nominate candidates for election as directors, must provide timely notice of such stockholder’s intention in writing. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice must be received not less than 60 days nor more than 90 days prior to the meeting at which such proposal or candidate is to be considered. However, if we do not give prior notice or make public disclosure of the date of the meeting at least 70 days prior to the meeting date, notice by the stockholder is considered timely if it is received no later than the close of business on the 10th day following the day on which such notice was mailed or public disclosure was made. If a stockholder desires to have a proposal included in Generex’s proxy statement, notice of such proposal must be received not less than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of Generex’s notice of the previous year’s annual meeting. These advance notice provisions may preclude stockholders from bringing matters before a meeting or from making nominations for directors.

 

-76-

Special Meetings of Stockholders: Our Amended and Restated Bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board or the President, and may be called by the Board upon the request of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock of the company entitled to vote at the meeting. Further, business transacted at any special meeting of stockholders is limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of meeting.

 

General Effect of Anti-Takeover Provisions: The overall effect of these provisions may be to deter a future tender offer or other takeover attempt that some stockholders might view to be in their best interests at that time. In addition, these provisions may have the effect of assisting our current management in retaining its position and place it in a better position to resist changes which some stockholders may want to make if dissatisfied with the conduct of our business.

 

Stockholder Rights Plan

 

On May 30, 2006, our stockholders approved the adoption of a stockholder rights plan that will allow our Board of Directors to declare a dividend of one share purchase right for each outstanding share of our common stock. Our Board of Directors has considered adoption of this plan but has not yet approved its adoption. We expect that any stockholder rights plan adopted by our Board will contain terms substantially as described below:

 

The terms of the rights plan will provide for a dividend distribution of one preferred share purchase right, which we refer to as a “Right,” for each outstanding share of our common stock. The dividend will be payable on a date established by the Board to the stockholders of record on that date. Each Right will entitle the registered holder to purchase from Generex one one-hundredth of a share of preferred stock (each a “Preferred Share” and, collectively, the “Preferred Shares”) at a price of $.01 per one one-hundredth of a share of preferred stock, subject to certain adjustments. Each Preferred Share will have designations and powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions which make its value approximately equal to the value of one share of our common stock.

 

The Rights will not be exercisable until the earlier to occur of:

 

  (i) the date of a public announcement that a person, entity or group of affiliated or associated persons have acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of our outstanding shares of common stock, which we refer to as an "Acquiring Person", or

 

  (ii) 10 business days (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Board of Directors prior to such time as any person or entity becomes an Acquiring Person) following the commencement of, or announcement of an intention to commence, a tender offer or exchange offer the consummation of which would result in any person or entity becoming an Acquiring Person (the earlier of such dates being called the "Distribution Date").

 

Until the Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferable with and only with shares of our common stock. The Rights will expire ten years after adoption of the stockholders rights plan unless the Rights are earlier redeemed or exchanged by Generex.

 

Preferred Shares purchasable upon exercise of the Rights will not be redeemable. Each Preferred Share will be entitled to a minimum preferential quarterly dividend payment of $1.00 but will be entitled to an aggregate dividend of 100 times the dividend declared per share of common stock. In the event of liquidation, the holders of the Preferred Shares would be entitled to a minimum preferential liquidation payment of $100 per share, but would be entitled to receive an aggregate payment equal to 100 times the payment made per share of common stock. Each Preferred Share will have 100 votes, voting together with the common stock. Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which shares of common stock are exchanged, each Preferred Share will be entitled to receive 100 times the amount of consideration received per share of common stock. These rights will be protected by customary anti-dilution provisions. Because of the nature of the Preferred Shares' dividend and liquidation rights, the value of one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share should approximate the value of one share of common stock. The Preferred Shares would rank junior to any other series of our preferred stock.

 

-77-

In the event that any person or group of affiliated or associated persons becomes an Acquiring Person, proper provision will be made so that each holder of a Right, other than Rights beneficially owned by the Acquiring Person and its associates and affiliates (which will thereafter be void), will for a 60-day period have the right to receive upon exercise that number of shares of Preferred Stock having a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right (or, if such number of shares is not and cannot be authorized, Generex may issue Preferred Shares, cash, debt, stock or a combination thereof in exchange for the Rights). This right will terminate 60 days after the date on which the Rights become nonredeemable (as described below), unless there is an injunction or similar obstacle to exercise of the Rights, in which event this right will terminate 60 days after the date on which the Rights again become exercisable.

 

The rights plan will contain certain exceptions to the characterization of a person or group as an "Acquiring Person." That term shall not be deemed to include:

 

  Generex,

 

  a subsidiary of Generex,

 

  any employee benefit or compensation plan of Generex,

 

  any entity holding shares of common stock for or pursuant to the terms of any such employee benefit or compensation plan or

 

  any officer, director or current 5% holder as of the date the rights plan is implemented.

 

The rights plan may also except certain institutional shareholders from the definition of “Acquiring Person.” In addition, except under limited circumstances, no person or entity shall become an Acquiring Person as the result of the acquisition of shares of common stock by Generex which, by reducing the number of shares outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such person or entity to 20% or more of the shares of common stock then outstanding.

 

The stockholders rights plan may also contain what is commonly known as a “flip-over” provision. In the event that Generex is acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction or 50% or more of its consolidated assets or earning power are sold to an Acquiring Person, its associates or affiliates or certain other persons in which such persons have an interest, the plan will require that proper provision be made so that each holder of a Right will thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current exercise price of the Right, that number of shares of common stock of the acquiring company which at the time of such transaction will have a market value of two times the exercise price of the Right.

 

At any time after an Acquiring Person becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such Acquiring Person of 50% or more of the outstanding shares of Generex’s common stock, our Board of Directors may exchange the Rights (other than Rights owned by such person or group which have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock, or one one-hundredth of a Preferred Share, per Right (or, at our election, Generex may issue cash, debt, stock or a combination thereof in exchange for the Rights), subject to adjustment.

 

At any time prior to the earliest of (i) the day of the first public announcement that a person has become an Acquiring Person or (ii) the final expiration date of the rights, our Board of Directors may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.001 per Right. Following the expiration of the above periods, the Rights become nonredeemable. Immediately upon any redemption of the Rights, the right to exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the redemption price.

 

The Rights would have certain anti-takeover effects. The Rights would cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to acquire Generex on terms not approved by our Board of Directors. The Rights should not interfere with any merger or other business combination approved by our Board of Directors since the Rights could be amended to permit such acquisition or redeemed by us at $.001 per Right prior to the earliest of (i) the time that a person or group has acquired beneficial ownership of 20% or more of our shares of common stock or (ii) the final expiration date of the rights.

Dividend Policy

 

Holders of our common stock are entitled to receive such dividends as the Board of Directors may from time to time declare. The Board may declare dividends only when dividends are legally available. Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Board may only declare dividends out of our capital surplus (generally the amount of its paid-in capital above the par value of the outstanding stock) or out of net profits for the fiscal year with respect to which the dividends are paid.  We have never paid any dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying dividends on the common stock in the foreseeable future. The Certificates of Designation pertaining to our Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock impose certain restrictions on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. For information about these restrictions, see the discussion under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “Financial Condition, Liquidity and Resources” and the subheadings “Financing – June 2015”, “Financing – March 2014” and “Financing – January 2014” in this prospectus. The dividends payable on our Series G 9% Convertible Preferred Stock are described under the caption “Description of Securities To Be Registered” under the heading “Description of Our Capital Stock” and the “Series G Preferred Stock.”

 

Transfer Agent

 

Broadridge Corporate Issuer Solutions, Inc. (formerly StockTrans, Inc.), 1717 Arch St. Suite 1300 Philadelphia, PA  19103, is the transfer agent and registrar for our common stock.

 

Quotation

 

Our common stock is quoted on the OTCQB under the symbol "GNBT."

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

Each Selling Stockholder (the “Selling Stockholders”) of the securities and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest may, from time to time, sell any or all of their securities covered hereby on the OTCQB or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the securities are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling securities:

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;
block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the securities as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;
purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;
an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;
privately negotiated transactions;
settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part;
in transactions through broker-dealers that agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number of such securities at a stipulated price per security;
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
-79-
a combination of any such methods of sale; or
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of securities, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

In connection with the sale of the securities or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the securities in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell securities short and deliver these securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the securities to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or create one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of securities offered by this prospectus, which securities such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

The Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in selling the securities may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the securities.

 

The Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the securities. The Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

We agreed to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the securities may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and without regard to any volume or manner-of-sale limitations by reason of Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the securities have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect. The resale securities will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale securities covered hereby may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied with.

Under applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale securities may not simultaneously engage in market making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act). 

We will pay all expenses of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $20,000 in total, including, without limitation, SEC filing fees; provided, however, that a

-80-

Selling Security Holder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions, if any. We will indemnify the Selling Security Holders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the Selling Security Holders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified by the Selling Security Holders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any written information furnished to us by the Selling Security Holders specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the related registration rights agreements, or we may be entitled to contribution.

 

Once sold under the registration statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable under U.S. federal securities laws in the hands of persons other than our affiliates.

 

LEGAL MATTERS

 

The validity of the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus will be passed upon for us by Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, LLC, Two Liberty Place, 50 South 16th Street, 22nd Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19102.  Certain members of the firm of Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, LLC own additional shares (less than one percent in total) that they purchased from time to time for cash, either from us or in the public market.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board or Directors and Shareholders of Generex Biotechnology Corporation

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Generex Biotechnology Corp. (a Development Stage Company) and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ (deficiency)/equity and cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013. Our audit also includes the financial statement schedule listed in the index under Item 15. Generex Biotechnology Corp.’s management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements and the financial statement schedule listed in the index under Item 15. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. Generex Biotechnology Corp. is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Generex Biotechnology Corp.’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Generex Biotechnology Corp. as of July 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company’s experience of negative cash flows from operations since inception and its dependency upon future financing, which is uncertain due to the limitations imposed by previous financings on future financings, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

Generex Biotechnology Corporation and Subsidiaries

(A Development Stage Company)

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Generex Biotechnology Corporation (a Development Stage Company) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of July 31, 2012 and 2011 and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholders’ (deficiency)/equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended July 31, 2012, and for the period November 2, 1995 (date of inception) to July 31, 2012. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the index under Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Generex Biotechnology Corporation and subsidiaries as of July 31, 2012 and 2011 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three year period ended July 31, 2012, and for the period November 2, 1995 (date of inception) to July 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also, in our opinion, such financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1, the Company’s experience of negative cash flows from operations since inception and its dependency upon future financing, which is uncertain due to the limitations imposed by previous financings on future financings, raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) and our report dated October 15, 2012 expressed an adverse opinion thereon.

Note 1 - Organization and Business and Going Concern:

 

Generex Biotechnology Corporation (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. are engaged in the research and development of drug delivery systems and technology. Since its inception, the Company has devoted its efforts and resources to the development of a platform technology for the oral administration of large molecule drugs, including proteins, peptides, monoclonal antibodies, hormones and vaccines, which historically have been administered by injection, either subcutaneously or intravenously. Oral-lynTM the first product based on this platform technology, is in various stages of regulatory approval in different jurisdictions around the world.

 

The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Antigen Express, Inc. (Antigen), is engaged in research and development of technologies and immunomedicines for the treatment of malignant, infectious, autoimmune and allergic diseases.  The Company’s immunomedicine products work by stimulating the immune system to either attack offending agents (i.e., cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses) or to stop attacking benign elements (i.e., self proteins and allergens). The immunomedicine products are based on two platform technologies that were discovered by an executive officer of Antigen, the Ii-Key hybrid peptides and Ii-Suppression. These technologies are expected to greatly boost immune cell responses which diagnose and treat the ailments and conditions.

 

The Company has a limited history of operations and limited revenue to date. The Company has several product candidates that are in various research or early stages of pre-clinical and clinical development. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining regulatory clearance for the sale of existing or any future products or that any of the Company’s products will be commercially viable.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $370 million and a working capital deficiency of approximately $4.8 million at July 31, 2014. The Company has funded its activities to date almost exclusively from debt and equity financings, as well as the recent sales of non-essential real estate assets in fiscal 2012, fiscal 2013 and the first quarter of fiscal 2014 (see Note 3).

 

The Company will continue to require substantial funds to continue research and development, including pre-clinical studies and clinical trials of its product candidates, and to commence sales and marketing efforts, if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other regulatory approvals are obtained.  Management’s plans in order to meet its operating cash flow requirements include financing activities such as private placements of its common stock, preferred stock offerings, issuances of debt and convertible debt instruments.  Management will be limited in the financing activities that the Company undertakes in the near future as the securities purchase agreements that the Company entered into on January 14, 2014 and March 27, 2014 with certain investors prohibit the Company from (i) issuing additional equity securities until 60 days after the effective date of a registration statement covering the resale of the common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and conversion of the preferred stock sold in those transactions; and (ii) issuing additional debt or equity securities with variable conversion or exercise prices until January 14, 2015 and March 27, 2015, respectively. Management is also actively pursuing financial and strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures, industry collaboration activities and strategic partners.  Management has sold its non-essential real estate assets which were classified as Assets Held for Investment to augment its cash position.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved and that it will succeed in its future operations. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. The Company’s inability to obtain required funding in the near future or its inability to obtain funding on favorable terms will have a material adverse effect on its operations and strategic development plan for future growth. If the Company cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement its strategic development plan, its liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected, and the Company may have to cease operations.

 

 

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

 

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained. For those consolidated subsidiaries where the Company ownership is less than 100 percent, the outside stockholders’ interests are shown as minority interests. Effective December 17, 2004, the Company’s ownership in all consolidated subsidiaries is 100 percent. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

F-8

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

 

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to thirty years. Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the statement of operations in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred.

 

Assets Held for Investment

Property held for investment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets of thirty years. Gains and losses on depreciable assets retired or sold are recognized in the statement of operations in the year of disposal. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred.

 

Patents

Capitalized patent costs represent legal costs incurred to establish patents and a portion of the acquisition price paid attributed to patents upon the acquisition of Antigen in August 2003.  When patents reach a mature stage, any associated legal costs are comprised mostly of maintenance fees and costs of national applications and are expensed as incurred.  Capitalized patent costs are amortized on a straight line basis over the remaining life of the patent.  As patents are abandoned, the net book value of the patent is written off. In the fiscal year ended July 31, 2012, the Company recorded a write down of $440,780 on certain patents. There were no write downs or disposals in the fiscal years ended July 31, 2014 and 2013.

 

Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets and Intangibles

The Company assesses the impairment of long-lived assets under FASB ASC Topic 360 whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposal of the asset. In the fiscal years ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company sold, wrote off or disposed of certain long-lived assets with net book values of $706,590, $745,172 and $2,945,079, respectively.

 

Derivative Warrant Liability

The Company’s derivative warrant instruments are measured at fair value using the binomial valuation model which takes into account, as of the valuation date, factors including the current exercise price, the expected life of the warrant, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the warrant.  The liability is revalued at each reporting period and changes in fair value are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Change in fair value of derivative warrant liability.” See Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities.

 

Revenue Recognition and Deferred Revenue

Revenues from the sale of commercial products are recognized at the time title of goods passes to the buyer and the buyer assumes the risks and rewards of ownership. Certain product sales are made to retailers under agreements allowing for a right to return unsold products. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605, recognition of revenue on all sales to these retailers is deferred until the right of return expires, the product is sold to a third party or a provision for returns can be reasonably estimated based on historical experience. The cost of inventory under these sales is considered to be consigned inventory until the revenue is recognized. Sales are reported net of estimated returns and allowances, discounts, mail-in rebate redemptions and credit card chargebacks. If actual sales returns, allowances, discounts, mail-in rebate redemptions or credit card chargebacks are greater than estimated by management, additional expense may be incurred. At July 31, 2014, we have $223,662 of deferred revenue for which a provision for returns cannot be reasonably estimated and thus the balance is included in Deferred Revenue on our consolidated balance sheets. The corresponding cost of sales has been previously written off and is not included in inventory as of July 31, 2014 as the timing of the recognition of the revenue cannot be reasonably estimated.

 

Grant revenue is recognized as the Company provides the services stipulated in the underlying grant based on the time and expenditures incurred. Amounts received in advance of services provided are recorded as deferred revenue and amortized as revenue when the services are provided. There was no grant revenue in fiscal 2014, 2013 or 2012.

 

Included in miscellaneous income are fees received under licensing agreements. Nonrefundable fees received under licensing agreements are recognized as revenue when received if the Company has no continuing obligations to the other party.

 

Rental income is recognized as revenue in the period in which the related rental space is occupied.

 

F-9

Research and Development Costs

Expenditures for research and development are expensed as incurred and include, among other costs, those related to the production of experimental drugs, including payroll costs, and amounts incurred for conducting clinical trials. Amounts expected to be received from governments under research and development tax credit arrangements are offset against current research and development expense.

 

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method prescribed by FASB ASC Topic 740. These standards require a company to determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination based upon the technical merits of the position.  If the more likely than not threshold is met, a company must measure the tax position to determine the amount to recognize in the financial statements. Deferred income taxes are recorded for temporary differences between financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the tax rates expected to be in effect for the years in which the differences are expected to reverse. A valuation allowance is provided if it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. At July 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company had a full valuation allowance equal to the amount of the net deferred tax asset.

 

The Company adopted the FASB guidance concerning accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which clarifies the accounting and disclosure for uncertainty in tax positions, as of August 1, 2007. The guidance requires that the Company determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will not be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority. If a tax position does not meet the more likely than not recognition criterion, the guidance requires that the tax position be measured at the largest amount of benefit greater than 50 percent not likely of being sustained upon ultimate settlement. Based on the Company’s evaluation, management has concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the consolidated financial statements.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 718 which requires that new, modified and unvested share-based payment transactions with employees, such as grants of stock options and restricted stock, be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value at the grant date and recognized as compensation expense over their vesting periods. The Company estimates the fair value of stock options as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and restricted stock based on the quoted market price or the value of the services provided, whichever is more readily determinable. The Company also follows the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 505 for equity based payments to non-employees for equity instruments issued to consultants and other non-employees.

 

Net Loss per Common Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing income (loss) available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share gives effect to all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. The computation of diluted earnings per share does not assume conversion, exercise or contingent exercise of securities that would have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings. Refer to Note 13 for methodology for determining net loss per share.

 

Comprehensive Income/(Loss)

Other comprehensive income/(loss), which includes only foreign currency translation adjustments, is shown in the Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity.

 

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash balances, at times, with financial institutions in excess of amounts insured by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation and the U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. Management monitors the soundness of these institutions and has not experienced any collection losses with these financial institutions.

 

Foreign Currency Translation

Foreign denominated assets and liabilities of the Company are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates in effect at the end of the reporting period. Income statement accounts are translated at a weighted average of exchange rates which were in effect during the period. Translation adjustments that arise from translating the foreign subsidiary’s financial statements from local currency to U.S. currency are recorded in the other comprehensive loss component of stockholders’ equity.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined under FASB ASC Topic 820 as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for an asset or liability in an orderly transaction between participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The standard describes a fair value hierarchy based on the levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last unobservable, that may be used to measure fair value. The levels are as follows:

 

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the value of the assets or liabilities

 

F-10

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, other current assets, long-term debt, accounts payable and accrued expenses, as well as derivative warrant liabilities and derivative additional investment rights. All of these items, except for the derivative warrant liabilities and derivative additional investment rights, were determined to be Level 1 fair value measurements. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, other current assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their respective fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments. Long-term debt balances were determined to approximate their fair value as we believe the borrowing rates reflect the prevailing market rates available for similar debt instruments.

 

The Company has determined its derivative warrant liability and its derivative additional investment rights liability to be Level 2 fair value measurements and has used the binomial lattice model valuation method to calculate the fair value of the derivative warrant liability and the derivative additional investment rights liability at July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. See Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities.

 

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

 

The Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debts, long lived assets (including patents) impairment valuations, debt obligations, derivatives, convertible preferred shares, long-term contracts, and contingencies and litigation, on an ongoing basis. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

 

Critical accounting estimates are reviewed and discussed with the audit committee of the board of directors. The Company considers an accounting estimate to be critical if it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, if changes in the estimate or if different estimates that could have been selected would have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

 

Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding the elimination of the reporting requirement for development stage entities and removed the definition of development stage entity from the Accounting Standards Codification. The Company has adopted this guidance effective for the Company’s annual fiscal year ended July 31, 2014. The adoption of this new accounting guidance resulted in the elimination of the inception-to-date financial information in the consolidated statements of operations, statements of changes in stockholders’ deficiency and statements of cash flows, as well as the removal of the subheading “A Development Stage Company” from the consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s annual fiscal year ended July 31, 2017 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 5 - Income Taxes:

The Company has incurred losses since inception, which have generated net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. The NOL carryforwards arise from both United States and Canadian sources. Pretax income/(losses) arising from domestic operations (United States) were $1,274,619, $(8,025,582) and $(8,040,033) for the years ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Pretax losses arising from foreign operations (Canada) were $1,276,036, $528,741 and $1,450,244 for the years ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of July 31, 2014, the Company has NOL carryforwards in Generex Biotechnology Corporation of approximately $202 million, which expire in 2018 through 2034, in Generex Pharmaceuticals Inc. of approximately $44 million, which expire in 2015 through 2034, and in Antigen Express, Inc. of approximately $25 million, which expire in 2016 through 2034. These loss carryforwards are subject to limitation due to the acquisition of Antigen and may be limited in future years due to certain structural ownership changes which have occurred over the last several years, related to the Company’s equity and convertible debenture financing transactions.

For the years ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate principally due to net operating losses and other temporary differences for which no benefit was recorded.

The preceding data reflects existing leases and does not include replacements upon their expiration. In the normal course of business, operating leases are generally renewed or replaced by other leases.

 

Supply Agreements and Purchase Obligations

On December 7, 2009, the Company entered into a long-term agreement with sanofi-aventis Deutschland GmbH (“sanofi”). Under this agreement, sanofi will manufacture and supply recombinant human insulin to the Company in the territories specified in the agreement. Through this agreement, the Company will procure recombinant human insulin crystals for use in the production of Generex Oral-lyn™. The terms of the supply agreement required the Company to make certain minimum purchases of insulin from sanofi through the period ended December 31, 2011. To date, the Company has not met the minimum purchase commitments under this agreement. After December 31, 2011, sanofi may terminate the agreement due to the Company’s failure to meet such purchase commitments. Upon termination, the Company would be obligated to pay sanofi for all materials and components that it has acquired or ordered to manufacture insulin based on the Company’s forecasts or minimum purchase commitments, all related work-in-progress (at cost) and all finished insulin in inventory. To date, the Company has not provided forecasts to sanofi for the purchase of insulin and sanofi has not terminated the agreement.

 

The Company has a supply agreement with Presspart Manufacturing Limited (“Presspart”), whereby the Company will purchase its entire requirements for products to use in the administration of insulin through the buccal mucosa and shall not purchase the products or any metal containers competitive to the products from any other person in exchange for an exclusive non-transferable royalty-free irrevocable license to use the products. The contract shall continue for a minimum period of four contract years from the end of the first contract year in which the total quantity of products purchased by the Company from Presspart exceeds 10,000,000 units, and thereafter, shall continue until terminated by either party by giving twelve months written notice. As of July 31, 2014, the Company has not yet completed a contract year in which the total quantity has exceeded 10,000,000 units and as such the expiration date of this contract cannot be determined.

 

Pending Litigation

In February 2001, a former business associate of the former Vice President of Research and Development (“VP”) of the Company and an entity known as Centrum Technologies Inc. (“CTI”) commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the Company and the VP seeking, among other things, damages for alleged breaches of contract and tortious acts related to a business relationship between this former associate and the VP that ceased in July 1996. The plaintiffs’ statement of claim also seeks to enjoin the use, if any, by the Company of three patents allegedly owned by CTI. The three patents are entitled Liquid Formulations for Proteinic Pharmaceuticals, Vaccine Delivery System for Immunization, Using Biodegradable Polymer Microspheres, and Controlled Releases of Drugs or Hormones in Biodegradable Polymer Microspheres. It is the Company’s position that the buccal drug delivery technologies which are the subject matter of the Company’s research, development, and commercialization efforts, including Generex Oral-lyn™ and the RapidMist™ Diabetes Management System, do not make use of, are not derivative of, do not infringe upon, and are entirely different from the intellectual property identified in the plaintiffs’ statement of claim. On July 20, 2001, the Company filed a preliminary motion to dismiss the action of CTI as a nonexistent entity or, alternatively, to stay such action on the grounds of want of authority of such entity to commence the action. The plaintiffs brought a cross motion to amend the statement of claim to substitute Centrum Biotechnologies, Inc. (“CBI”) for CTI. CBI is a corporation of which 50 percent of the shares are owned by the former business associate and the remaining 50 percent are owned by the Company. Consequently, the shareholders of CBI are in a deadlock. The court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the action of CTI and denied the plaintiffs’ cross motion without prejudice to the former business associate to seek leave to bring a derivative action in the name of or on behalf of CBI. The former business associate subsequently filed an application with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for an order granting him leave to file an action in the name of and on behalf of CBI against the VP and the Company. The Company opposed the application. In September 2003, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted the request and issued an order giving the former business associate leave to file an action in the name of and on behalf of CBI against the VP and the Company. A statement of claim was served in July 2004. The Company is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.

 

F-15

On May 20, 2011, Ms. Perri filed a statement of claim (subsequently amended) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, naming as defendants the Company and certain directors of the Company, Mr. Barratt, Ms. Masterson, Mr. McGee, and Mr. Fletcher. In this action, Ms. Perri has alleged that defendants engaged in discrimination, harassment, bad faith and infliction of mental distress in connection with the termination of her employment with the Company. Ms. Perri is seeking damages in this action in excess of $7,000,000 for, among other things, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of the Ontario Human Rights Code and aggravated and punitive damages. On September 20, 2011, the defendants filed a statement of defense and counterclaim, also naming Time Release Corp., Khazak Group Consulting Corp., and David Khazak, C.A. as defendants by counterclaim, and seeking damages of approximately $2.3 million in funds that the defendants allege Ms. Perri wrongly caused the Company to pay to third parties in varying amounts over several years and an accounting of certain third-party payments, plus interests and costs. The factual basis for the counterclaim involves payments made by the Company to third parties believed to be related to Ms. Perri. The Company intends to defend this action and pursue its counterclaim vigorously and is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.

 

On June 1, 2011, Golden Bull Estates Ltd. filed a claim (subsequently amended) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, naming the Company, 1097346 Ontario, Inc. and Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as defendants. The plaintiff, Golden Bull Estates, is controlled by Ms. Perri. The plaintiff alleges damages in the amount of $550,000 for breach of contract, $50,000 for punitive damages, plus interest and costs. The plaintiff’s claims relate to an alleged contract between the plaintiff and the Company for property management services for certain Ontario properties owned by the Company. The Company terminated the plaintiff’s property management services in April 2011. Following the close of pleadings, the Company served a motion for summary judgment. The plaintiff responded by amending its statement of claim to include a claim to the Company’s interest in certain of its real estate holdings. The plaintiff moved for leave to issue and register a Certificate of Pending Litigation in respect of this real estate. The motion was not successful in respect of any current real estate holdings of the Company. The Company is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.

 

In August 2011, the estate of Antonio Perri, the late father of Ms. Perri, commenced an action against Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., the law firm of Brans, Lehun, Baldwin LLP and William Lehun in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice claiming that the estate is entitled to the proceeds of sale (approximately $1,730,000) received by the Company on its sale of two properties to Golden Bull Estates Ltd., a company controlled by Ms. Perri. The suit alleges that no consideration was received when the Company purchased the two properties from Antonio Perri in 1998. The Company responded to this statement of claim. On May 6, 2014, the Company received a court order which dismissed this action for delay as the plaintiff has not brought this action to conclusion or set it down for trial within the time prescribed by the laws of Ontario.

 

In December 2011, a vendor of the Company commenced an action against the Company and its subsidiary, Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice claiming damages for unpaid invoices including interest in the amount of $429,000, in addition to costs and further interest.  The Company responded to this statement of claim and also asserted a counterclaim in the proceeding for $200,000 arising from the vendor’s breach of contract and detinue, together with interest and costs. On November 16, 2012, the parties agreed to settle this action and the Company has agreed to pay the plaintiff $125,000, following the spinout of its subsidiary Antigen, from the proceeds of any public or private financing related to Antigen subsequent to such spinout.  Each party agreed to execute mutual releases to the claim and counterclaim to be held in trust by each party’s counsel until payment of the settlement amount.  Following payment to the plaintiff, the parties agree that a Consent Dismissal Order without costs will be filed with the court.  If the Company fails to make the payment following completion of any post-spinout financing related to Antigen or any other subsidiaries, the Plaintiffs may take out a judgment in the amount of the claim plus interest of 3% per annum and costs fixed at $25,000.

 

The Company is involved in certain other legal proceedings in addition to those specifically described herein. Subject to the uncertainty inherent in all litigation, the Company does not believe at the present time that the resolution of any of these legal proceedings is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

With respect to all litigation, as additional information concerning the estimates used by the Company becomes known, the Company reassesses its position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures.

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the convertible preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective conversion price of $0.03 per share, and will accrue a 9% dividend until the third year anniversary of the issuances. On each one year anniversary thereafter, such dividend rate will increase by an additional 3%. The dividend is payable quarterly on September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30, beginning on June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively, and on each conversion date in cash, or at the Company’s option, in shares of common stock. In the event that the Series E and F convertible preferred stock is converted prior to June 17, 2016 and March 27, 2017, respectively, the Company will pay the holder of the converted preferred stock an amount equal to $270 per $1,000 of stated value of the convertible preferred stock, less the amount of all prior quarterly dividends paid on such converted preferred stock before the relevant conversion date. Such “make-whole payment” may be made in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of its common stock. In addition, beginning on the third anniversary date of the issuances, the Company will pay dividends on shares of preferred stock equal to (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) and in the same form as dividends (other than dividends in the form of common stock) actually paid on shares of the common stock when, and if such dividends are paid. The Company will incur a late fee of 18% per annum on unpaid dividends.

 

The conversion price of the convertible preferred stock is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The conversion price will also be adjusted if the Company sells or grants any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then conversion price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by the Company pro rata to the holders of its common stock to the same extent as if such holders had converted all of their shares of convertible preferred stock. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive, upon conversion of their shares, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction.

 

F-18

In conjunction with the issuance of the Series E convertible preferred stock in June 2013 and January 2014 and the issuance of the Series F convertible preferred stock in June 2014, , the Company also issued 40,833,335, 26,666,668 and 69,166,667 warrants, respectively to the investors. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the warrants will be exercisable at any time after their respective dates of issuance and on or before the fifth-year anniversary thereafter at an exercise price of $0.03 per share of common stock. The exercise price of the warrants and, in some cases, the number of shares issuable upon exercise, are subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise will also be adjusted if the Company sells or grants any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then exercise price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by the Company pro rata to the holders of its common stock to the same extent as if such holders had exercised all of their warrants. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of their warrants, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction. These warrants have been classified as derivative liabilities and are described further in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities.

 

In addition, until the first anniversary date of the June 2013 and March 2014 securities purchase agreements, each investor may, in its sole determination, elect to purchase, severally and not jointly with the other investors, in one or more purchases, in the ratio of such investor's original subscription amount to the original aggregate subscription amount of all investors, additional units consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants at a purchase price of $1,000 per unit with an aggregate subscription amount thereof of up to $1,225,000 and $2,075,000, respectively, which units will have terms identical to the units of convertible preferred stock and warrants issued in connection with the June 2013 and March 2014 closings. These additional investment rights of the investors have been classified as derivative liabilities and are described further in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities. On January 15, 2014, certain investors exercised 800 of the 1,225 shares of convertible preferred stock and related warrants available under the additional investment rights. The remaining June 2013 additional investment rights expired on June 17, 2014. The March 2014 additional investment rights expire on March 27, 2015 and none have been exercised to date.

There were 28,333,331 shares of common stock issued upon the conversion of the Series F convertible preferred stock and 7,861,623 shares of common stock issued as “make-whole payments” on such conversions.

 

Accounting for proceeds from the Series E convertible preferred stock financing

 

The net proceeds from the initial Series E convertible preferred stock financing in June 2013 were $1,165,000. The proceeds from the financing were allocated first to the warrants that were issued in the financing, second to the additional investment rights associated with the financing and third to the make whole payments. As the assigned fair values were greater than the net cash proceeds from the transaction, the excess was treated as a “deemed dividend” for accounting purposes and was reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended July 31, 2013 under the caption “Preferred Stock Dividend”. The calculation methodologies for the fair values of the derivative warrant liability and the derivative additional investment rights liability are described in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities below. The fair values assigned to each component and the calculation of the amount of the deemed dividend are as follows:

 

Accounting allocation of initial proceeds
Net proceeds $ 1,165,000
Derivative warrant liability fair value   (1,189,744)
Derivative additional investment rights fair value   (1,264,683)
Make whole payments liability   (330,750)
Deemed dividend $ (1,620,177)

 

The initial “make-whole payments” of $330,750 on the Series E convertible preferred stock were accrued as of the date of the financing and the remaining balance of $6,750 (after conversions) is included in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses (see Note 6) at July 31, 2014.

 

The initial net cash proceeds from the Series E convertible preferred stock financing in January 2014 were $750,000. The proceeds from the financing were allocated first to the warrants that were issued in the financing and then to the make whole payments and subsequent issuance costs. As the assigned fair values were greater than the net cash proceeds from the transaction, the excess was treated as a “deemed dividend” for accounting purposes and was reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended January 31, 2014 under the caption “Preferred Stock Dividend”. The calculation methodologies for the fair values of the derivative warrant liability and the derivative additional investment rights liability are described in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities below. The fair values assigned to each component and the calculation of the amount of the deemed dividend are as follows:

Other issuance costs (Finders’ fee)   (64,000)
Make whole payments liability   (216,000)
Deemed dividend $ (472,279)

 

The initial “make-whole payments” of $216,000 on the Series E convertible preferred stock were accrued as of the date of the financing, all of which have been converted as of July 31, 2014.

 

Accounting for proceeds from the Series F convertible preferred stock financing

 

The initial net cash proceeds from the Series F convertible preferred stock financing in March 2014 were $2,020,000. The proceeds from the financing were allocated first to the warrants that were issued in the financing, second to the additional investment rights associated with the financing and then to the make whole payments and subsequent issuance costs. As the assigned fair values were greater than the net cash proceeds from the transaction, the excess was treated as a “deemed dividend” for accounting purposes and was reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 under the caption “Preferred Stock Dividend”. The calculation methodologies for the fair values of the derivative warrant liability and the derivative additional investment rights liability are described in Note 10 – Derivative Liabilities below. The fair values assigned to each component and the calculation of the amount of the deemed dividend are as follows:

 

Accounting allocation of initial proceeds
Net proceeds $ 2,020,000
Derivative warrant liability fair value   (2,016,064)
Derivative additional investment rights fair value   (863,735)
Other issuance costs (Finders’ fee)   (166,000)
Make whole payments liability   (560,250)
Deemed dividend $ (1,586,050)

 

The initial “make-whole payments” of $560,250 on the Series F convertible preferred stock were accrued as of the date of the financing and the remaining balance of $330,750 (after conversions) is included in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses (see Note 6) at July 31, 2014.

 

 

Note 10 - Derivative Liabilities:

 

Derivative warrant liability

The Company has warrants outstanding with price protection provisions that allow for the reduction in the exercise price of the warrants in the event the Company subsequently issues stock or securities convertible into stock at a price lower than the exercise price of the warrants. Simultaneously with any reduction to the exercise price, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each of these warrants shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable for the adjusted number of warrants shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

Accounting for Derivative Warrant Liability

The Company’s derivative warrant instruments have been measured at fair value at July 31, 2014 and 2013 using the binomial lattice model. The Company recognizes all of its warrants with price protection in its consolidated balance sheets as a liability. The liability is revalued at each reporting period and changes in fair value are recognized currently in the consolidated statements of operations. The initial recognition and subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative warrant liability have no effect on the Company’s consolidated cash flows.

 

The derivative warrants outstanding at July 31, 2014 are all currently exercisable with a weighted-average remaining life of 3.3 years.

 

The revaluation of the warrants at each reporting period, as well as the charges associated with issuing additional warrants due to the price protection features, resulted in the recognition of a gain of $3,362,497 within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 and a loss of $3,148,782 for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2013, which is included in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities”.

F-20

 

The fair value of the warrants at July 31, 2014 and 2013 was $2,635,643 and $5,234,293, respectively, which is reported on the consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Derivative Warrant Liability”. The following summarizes the changes in the value of the derivative warrant liability from August 1, 2012 until July 31, 2014:

                Value    No. of Warrants 
Balance at August 1, 2012 – Derivative warrant liability  $4,081,627    55,148,530 
Additional warrants issued in August 2012 financing   624,797    9,375,000

Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Warrant Liability

The Company has determined its derivative warrant liability to be a Level 2 fair value measurement and has used the binominal lattice pricing model to calculate the fair value as of July 31, 2014 and 2013. The binomial lattice model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Because the warrants contain the price protection feature, the probability that the exercise price of the warrants would decrease as the stock price decreased was incorporated into the valuation calculations. The key inputs used in the July 31, 2014 and 2013 fair value calculations were as follows:

 

      July 31, 2014   July 31, 2013
Current exercise price   $ 0.03   $ 0.03  
Time to expiration     3.3 years     3.5 years  
Risk-free interest rate     1.02 %   0.49 %
Estimated volatility     80 %   85 %
Dividend     -0-     -0-  
Stock price at period end date   $ 0.021   $ 0.035  

 

 

Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Additional Investment Rights Liability

The Company has determined the derivative additional investment rights liability to be a Level 2 fair value measurement and has used the binominal lattice pricing model to measure the fair value. The fair value of the derivative liability associated with the additional investment rights was determined to be $719,088 and $1,256,160 at July 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The key inputs used in the fair value calculation at July 31, 2014 were as follows:

 

 

      July 31, 2014   July 31, 2013
Underlying number of units of convertible preferred stock   2,075   1,225  
Underlying number of warrants     69,166,667     40,833,335  
Current exercise price of warrants   $ 0.03 $ 0.03
Current conversion price of preferred stock   $ 0.03 $ 0.03
Time to expiration     0.65 years     0.88 years  
Risk-free interest rate   0.09 % 0.11 %
Estimated volatility     61 %   114 %
Dividend     -0-     -0-  
Stock price   $ 0.021   $ 0.035  

 

The revaluation of the additional investment rights in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 and 2013, resulted in the recognition of a gain of $1,163,242 and $8,523, respectively within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, which is included in the totals under the caption “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities”.

* Subject to price protection provisions as described below.

 

The outstanding warrants at July 31, 2014 have a weighted average exercise price of $0.085 per share and have a weighted average remaining life of 3.1 years.

 

As of July 31, 2014, the Company has 239,788,852 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 which have price protection provisions that allow for the reduction in the current exercise price upon the occurrence of certain events, including the Company’s issuance of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, such as options and warrants, at a price per share less than the exercise price then in effect. For instance, if the Company issues shares of its common stock or options exercisable for or securities convertible into common stock at an effective price per share of common stock less than the exercise price then in effect, the exercise price will be reduced to the effective price of the new issuance. Simultaneously with any reduction to the exercise price, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each of these warrants shall be increased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable for the adjusted number of warrants shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. There are a limited number of permitted types of stock and equity instrument issuances for each series of warrants which will not invoke the price protection provisions of these warrants.

 

The Company accounts for the warrants with price protection provisions in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815 as described in Note 10 - Derivative Liabilities above. As of July 31, 2014, there were a total of 239,788,852 warrants with an estimated fair value of $2,635,643, which are identified on the consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Derivative Warrant Liability”.

 

Preferred Stock

The Company has authorized 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of one-tenth of a cent ($.001) per share. The preferred stock may be issued in various series and shall have preference as to dividends and to liquidation of the Company. The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to establish the specific rights, preferences, voting privileges and restrictions of such preferred stock, or any series thereof. At July 31, 2014, 25 shares of the Company’s non-voting Series E 9% Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,225 shares of the Company’s non-voting Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. At July 31, 2013, 930 shares of the Company’s non-voting Series E 9% Convertible Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. See Note 9 - Series A, B, C, D, E and F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock above.

 

Equity Instruments Issued for Services Rendered

During the years ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company issued stock options, warrants and shares of common stock in exchange for services rendered to the Company. The fair value of each stock option and warrant was valued using the Black Scholes pricing model which takes into account as of the grant date the exercise price and expected life of the stock option or warrant, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock and the risk free interest rate for the term of the stock option or warrant. Shares of common stock are valued at the quoted market price on the date of grant. The fair value of each grant was charged to the related expense in the consolidated statement of operations for the services received (see Note 12).

Note 12 – Stock-Based Compensation:

 

Stock Option Plans

As of July 31, 2014, the Company had two stockholder-approved stock incentive plans under which shares and options exercisable for shares of common stock have been or may be granted to employees, directors, consultants and advisors. A total of 12,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2001 Stock Option Plan (the 2001 Plan) and 135,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2006 Stock Plan as amended (the 2006 Plan). At July 31, 2014, there were 1,353,916 and 81,300,576 shares of common stock reserved for future awards under the 2001 Plan and 2006 Plan, respectively. The Company issues new shares of common stock from the shares reserved under the respective Plans upon conversion or exercise of options and issuance of restricted shares.

 

The 2001 and 2006 Plans (the Plans) are administered by the Board of Directors (the Board). The Board is authorized to select from among eligible employees, directors, advisors and consultants those individuals to whom options are to be granted and to determine the number of shares to be subject to, and the terms and conditions of the options. The Board is also authorized to prescribe, amend and rescind terms relating to options granted under the Plans. Generally, the interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plans or any options granted hereunder is within the discretion of the Board.

 

The Plans provide that options may or may not be Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Only employees of the Company are eligible to receive ISOs, while employees and non-employee directors, advisors and consultants are eligible to receive options which are not ISOs, i.e. “Non-Qualified Options.” The options granted by the Board in connection with its adoption of the Plans were Non-Qualified Options. In addition, the 2006 Plan also provides for restricted stock grants.

 

Share-based employee compensation related to stock options for the years ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $262,871, $837,753 and $602,384 for each year and were charged to the consolidated statements of operations.  Share-based employee compensation related to common stock grants for the years ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted to $130,000, $0 and $130,544, respectively, and were charged to the consolidated statements of operations.

 

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or the value of the services provided, whichever is more readily determinable. The Black-Scholes option pricing model takes into account, as of the grant date, the exercise price and expected life of the option, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was not used to estimate the fair value any option grants in the fiscal years ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.

Note 13 - Net Loss per Share:

 

Basic loss per share (“EPS”) and Diluted EPS for the years ended July 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 have been computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for each respective period by the weighted average shares outstanding during that period. All outstanding options, warrants, non-vested restricted stock and shares to be issued upon conversion of the outstanding convertible preferred stock, representing approximately 336,962,311, 298,931,138 and 94,643,712 incremental shares, have been excluded from the respective 2014, 2013 and 2012 computation of diluted EPS as they are anti-dilutive due to the losses generated during the respective years.

 

 

Note 14 - Segment Information:

 

The Company follows FASB ASC Topic 815 which establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises report information about operating segments in annual financial statements and requires that those enterprises report selected information about operating segments in interim financial reports. This Topic also establishes standards for related disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers.

 

This Topic uses a management approach for determining segments. The management approach designates the internal organization that is used by management for making operating decisions and assessing performance as the source of the Company’s reportable segments. The Company’s management reporting structure provides for only one segment: the research, development and commercialization of drug delivery systems and technologies for metabolic and immunological diseases.

Note 1 – Basis of Presentation:

 

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements (“interim statements”) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations for reporting on Form 10-Q. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements are not included herein. The interim statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. The results for the three and nine-month periods ended April 30, 2015 may not be indicative of the results for the entire year.

 

Interim statements are subject to possible adjustments in connection with the annual audit of the Company’s accounts for fiscal year 2015. In the Company’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of these interim statements have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature.

 

The Company has a limited history of operations and limited revenue to date. The Company has several product candidates that are in various research or early stages of pre-clinical and clinical development. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining regulatory clearance for the sale of existing or any future products or that any of the Company’s products will be commercially viable.

 

Going Concern

The accompanying interim statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The Company has experienced negative cash flows from operations since inception and has an accumulated deficit of approximately $372 million and a working capital deficiency of approximately $6.9 million at April 30, 2015. The Company has funded its activities to date almost exclusively from debt and equity financings, as well as the sale of non-essential real estate assets in fiscal 2012 through the first quarter of fiscal 2014 (see Note 9).

 

The Company will continue to require substantial funds to continue research and development, including pre-clinical studies and clinical trials of its product candidates, and to commence sales and marketing efforts, if the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or other regulatory approvals are obtained.  Management’s plans in order to meet its operating cash flow requirements include financing activities such as private placements of its common stock, preferred stock offerings, issuances of debt and convertible debt instruments.  Management is also actively pursuing financial and strategic alternatives, including strategic investments and divestitures, industry collaboration activities and strategic partners.  Management has sold its non-essential real estate assets which were classified as Assets Held for Investment to augment its cash position.

 

These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There are no assurances that such additional funding will be achieved and that the Company will succeed in its future operations. The interim statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or amounts of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue in existence. The Company’s inability to obtain required funding in the near future or its inability to obtain funding on favorable terms will have a material adverse effect on its operations and strategic development plan for future growth. If the Company cannot successfully raise additional capital and implement its strategic development plan, its liquidity, financial condition and business prospects will be materially and adversely affected, and the Company may have to cease operations.

 

Note 2 – Effects of Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding the elimination of the reporting requirement for development stage entities and removed the definition of development stage entity from the Accounting Standards Codification. The Company has adopted this guidance effective for the Company’s annual fiscal year ended July 31, 2014. The adoption of this new accounting guidance resulted in the elimination of the inception-to-date financial information in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, statements of changes in stockholders’ deficiency and statements of cash flows, as well as the removal of the subheading “A Development Stage Company” from the interim statements and the notes to the interim statements.

 

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding Determining Whether the Host Contract in a Hybrid Financial Instrument Issued in the Form of a Share Is More Akin to Debt or to Equity. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of the fiscal year ended July 31, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

 

F-29

In August 2014, the FASB issued guidance regarding disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The guidance will be effective for the Company’s fiscal year ended July 31, 2017 and subsequent interim periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this accounting standard update on its consolidated financial statements.

 

Note 3 – Stock-Based Compensation:

 

As of April 30, 2015, the Company had two stockholder-approved stock incentive plans under which shares and options exercisable for shares of common stock have been or may be granted to employees, directors, consultants and advisors. A total of 12,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2001 Stock Option Plan (the 2001 Plan) and 135,000,000 shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the 2006 Stock Plan as amended (the 2006 Plan). At April 30, 2015, there were 2,338,916 and 81,530,576 shares of common stock reserved for future awards under the 2001 Plan and 2006 Plan, respectively. The Company issues new shares of common stock from the shares reserved under the respective Plans upon conversion or exercise of options and issuance of restricted shares.

 

The 2001 and 2006 Plans (the Plans) are administered by the Board of Directors (the Board). The Board is authorized to select from among eligible employees, directors, advisors and consultants those individuals to whom options are to be granted and to determine the number of shares to be subject to, and the terms and conditions of the options. The Board is also authorized to prescribe, amend and rescind terms relating to options granted under the Plans. Generally, the interpretation and construction of any provision of the Plans or any options granted hereunder is within the discretion of the Board.

 

The Plans provide that options may or may not be Incentive Stock Options (ISOs) within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code. Only employees of the Company are eligible to receive ISOs, while employees and non-employee directors, advisors and consultants are eligible to receive options which are not ISOs, i.e. “Non-Qualified Options.” The options granted by the Board in connection with its adoption of the Plans were Non-Qualified Options. In addition, the 2006 Plan also provides for restricted stock grants.

 

The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model or the value of the services provided, whichever is more readily determinable. The Black-Scholes option pricing model takes into account, as of the grant date, the exercise price and expected life of the option, the current price of the underlying stock and its expected volatility, expected dividends on the stock and the risk-free interest rate for the term of the option. The Black-Scholes option pricing model was not used to estimate the fair value any option grants in the three quarters ended April 30, 2015 or in the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014.

 

The following is a summary of the common stock options granted, forfeited or expired and exercised under the Plans for the nine months ended April 30, 2015:

 

   Options  Weighted Average Exercise Price per Share  Aggregate Intrinsic Value
                
Outstanding, August 1, 2014   37,964,390   $0.061      
Less: Forfeited or expired   1,215,000    0.716      
Less: Exercised   6,416,316    0.001    129,908 
Outstanding, April 30, 2015   30,333,074   $0.048   $567,236 
Exercisable, April 30, 2015   30,333,074   $0.048   $567,236 

 

The 30,333,074 outstanding options at April 30, 2015 had a weighted average remaining contractual term of 2.8 years. Options typically vest over a period of two to four years and have a contractual life of five to ten years.

 

There were no non-vested common stock options granted, vested or forfeited under the Plan for the nine months ended April 30, 2015. There was no unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Plans at April 30, 2015.

Note 4 – Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses:

 

Accounts payable and accrued expenses consist of the following:

   April 30, 2015  July 31, 2014
Accounts Payable and Accruals – General and Administrative  $3,127,111   $3,208,069 
Accounts Payable and Accruals – Research and Development   3,699,158    3,955,543 
Accounts Payable and Accruals – Selling and Marketing   326,586    327,067 
Accrued Make-whole Payments on Convertible Preferred Stock (see Note 7)   233,077    337,500 
Executive Compensation and Directors’ Fees Payable   236,547    205,943 
Total  $7,622,479   $8,034,122 

 

In the nine months ended April 30, 2015 the Company had a gain on extinguishment of debt of $327,839 related to the final settlement of a previously owed balance to a vendor. This is reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of comprehensive income under the caption “Gain on extinguishment of debt” and is included in the changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses category in the consolidated statement of cash flows.

 

 

Note 5 – Commitments and Contingencies:

 

Pending Litigation

In February 2001, a former business associate of the former Vice President of Research and Development (“VP”) of the Company and an entity known as Centrum Technologies Inc. (“CTI”) commenced an action in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice against the Company and the VP seeking, among other things, damages for alleged breaches of contract and tortious acts related to a business relationship between this former associate and the VP that ceased in July 1996. The plaintiffs’ statement of claim also seeks to enjoin the use, if any, by the Company of three patents allegedly owned by CTI. The three patents are entitled Liquid Formulations for Proteinic Pharmaceuticals, Vaccine Delivery System for Immunization, Using Biodegradable Polymer Microspheres, and Controlled Releases of Drugs or Hormones in Biodegradable Polymer Microspheres. It is the Company’s position that the buccal drug delivery technologies which are the subject matter of the Company’s research, development, and commercialization efforts, including Generex Oral-lyn™ and the RapidMist™ Diabetes Management System, do not make use of, are not derivative of, do not infringe upon, and are entirely different from the intellectual property identified in the plaintiffs’ statement of claim. On July 20, 2001, the Company filed a preliminary motion to dismiss the action of CTI as a nonexistent entity or, alternatively, to stay such action on the grounds of want of authority of such entity to commence the action. The plaintiffs brought a cross motion to amend the statement of claim to substitute Centrum Biotechnologies, Inc. (“CBI”) for CTI. CBI is a corporation of which 50 percent of the shares are owned by the former business associate and the remaining 50 percent are owned by the Company. Consequently, the shareholders of CBI are in a deadlock. The court granted the Company’s motion to dismiss the action of CTI and denied the plaintiffs’ cross motion without prejudice to the former business associate to seek leave to bring a derivative action in the name of or on behalf of CBI. The former business associate subsequently filed an application with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice for an order granting him leave to file an action in the name of and on behalf of CBI against the VP and the Company. The Company opposed the application. In September 2003, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted the request and issued an order giving the former business associate leave to file an action in the name of and on behalf of CBI against the VP and the Company. A statement of claim was served in July 2004. The Company is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.

 

On May 20, 2011, Ms. Perri filed a statement of claim (subsequently amended) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, naming as defendants the Company and certain directors of the Company, Mr. Barratt, Ms. Masterson, Mr. McGee, and Mr. Fletcher. In this action, Ms. Perri has alleged that defendants engaged in discrimination, harassment, bad faith and infliction of mental distress in connection with the termination of her employment with the Company. Ms. Perri is seeking damages in this action in excess of $7,000,000 for, among other things, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, violations of the Ontario Human Rights Code and aggravated and punitive damages. On September 20, 2011, the defendants filed a statement of defense and counterclaim, also naming Time Release Corp., Khazak Group Consulting Corp., and David Khazak, C.A. as defendants by counterclaim, and seeking damages of approximately $2.3 million in funds that the defendants allege Ms. Perri wrongly caused the Company to pay to third parties in varying amounts over several years and an accounting of certain third-party payments, plus interests and costs. The factual basis for the counterclaim involves payments made by the Company to third parties believed to be related to Ms. Perri. The Company intends to defend this action and pursue its counterclaim vigorously and is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.

 

F-31

On June 1, 2011, Golden Bull Estates Ltd. filed a claim (subsequently amended) in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, naming the Company, 1097346 Ontario, Inc. and Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as defendants. The plaintiff, Golden Bull Estates, is controlled by Ms. Perri. The plaintiff alleges damages in the amount of $550,000 for breach of contract, $50,000 for punitive damages, plus interest and costs. The plaintiff’s claims relate to an alleged contract between the plaintiff and the Company for property management services for certain Ontario properties owned by the Company. The Company terminated the plaintiff’s property management services in April 2011. Following the close of pleadings, the Company served a motion for summary judgment. The plaintiff responded by amending its statement of claim to include a claim to the Company’s interest in certain of its real estate holdings. The plaintiff moved for leave to issue and register a Certificate of Pending Litigation in respect of this real estate. The motion was not successful in respect of any current real estate holdings of the Company. The Company is not able to predict the ultimate outcome of this legal proceeding at the present time or to estimate an amount or range of potential loss, if any, from this legal proceeding.

 

In December 2011, a vendor of the Company commenced an action against the Company and its subsidiary, Generex Pharmaceuticals, Inc., in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice claiming damages for unpaid invoices including interest in the amount of $429,000, in addition to costs and further interest.  The Company responded to this statement of claim and also asserted a counterclaim in the proceeding for $200,000 arising from the vendor’s breach of contract and detinue, together with interest and costs. On November 16, 2012, the parties agreed to settle this action and the Company has agreed to pay the plaintiff $125,000, following the spinout of its subsidiary Antigen, from the proceeds of any public or private financing related to Antigen subsequent to such spinout.  Each party agreed to execute mutual releases to the claim and counterclaim to be held in trust by each party’s counsel until payment of the settlement amount.  Following payment to the plaintiff, the parties agree that a Consent Dismissal Order without costs will be filed with the court.  If the Company fails to make the payment following completion of any post-spinout financing related to Antigen or any other subsidiaries, the Plaintiffs may take out a judgment in the amount of the claim plus interest of 3% per annum and costs fixed at $25,000.

 

The Company is involved in certain other legal proceedings in addition to those specifically described herein. Subject to the uncertainty inherent in all litigation, the Company does not believe at the present time that the resolution of any of these legal proceedings is likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, operations or cash flows.

 

With respect to all litigation, as additional information concerning the estimates used by the Company becomes known, the Company reassesses its position both with respect to accrued liabilities and other potential exposures.

 

 

Note 6 – Net Income (Loss) Per Share (“EPS”):

 

Basic EPS and Diluted EPS for the three and nine-month periods ended April 30, 2015 have been computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average shares outstanding during each period. All outstanding stock options, non-vested restricted stock, warrants and common stock underlying convertible preferred stock, representing 306,666,176 incremental shares at April 30, 2015, have been excluded from the respective computations of Diluted EPS as they are anti-dilutive, due to the losses generated during these periods.

 

Basic EPS and Diluted EPS for the three-month period ended April 30, 2014 have been computed by dividing the net loss available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average shares outstanding during that period. All outstanding stock options, non-vested restricted stock, warrants and common stock underlying convertible preferred stock, representing 357,628,977 incremental shares at April 30, 2014, have been excluded from the respective computations of Diluted EPS as they are anti-dilutive, due to the losses generated during those periods.

Warrants

There are 239,788,852 warrants outstanding as of April 30, 2015. During the nine months ended April 30, 2015, 17,542,402 warrants, which had an average exercise price of $0.84 per warrant, expired. There were no warrants issued, or exercised for the nine months ended April 30, 2015. The outstanding warrants at April 30, 2015 have a weighted average exercise price of $0.03 per share and have a weighted average remaining life of 2.56 years.

 

As of April 30, 2015, the Company has 239,788,852 warrants with a current exercise price of $0.03 which have price protection provisions that allow for the reduction in the current exercise price upon the occurrence of certain events, including the Company’s issuance of common stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, such as options and warrants, at a price per share less than the exercise price then in effect. For instance, if the Company issues shares of its common stock or options exercisable for or securities convertible into common stock at an effective price per share of common stock less than the exercise price then in effect, the exercise price will be reduced to the effective price of the new issuance. Simultaneously with any reduction to the exercise price, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each of these warrants shall be increased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable for the adjusted number of warrants shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment. There are a limited number of permitted types of stock and equity instrument issuances for each series of warrants which will not invoke the price protection provisions of these warrants.

 

The Company accounts for the warrants with price protection provisions in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815 as described in Note 8 - Derivative Liabilities below. As of April 30, 2015, there were a total of 239,788,852 warrants with an estimated fair value of $2,689,240, which are identified on the interim consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Derivative Warrant Liability”.

 

Series A, B, C and D 9% Convertible Preferred Stock

All of the Company’s Series A, B, C and D 9% Convertible Preferred Stock was converted prior to the beginning of the Company’s 2014 fiscal year.

 

Series E and F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock

 

The Company has authorized 2,450 shares of Series E 9% Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of one thousand ($1,000) per share. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated June 17, 2013, the Company sold an aggregate of 1,225 shares of Series E convertible preferred stock, as well as accompanying warrants to purchase 40,833,335 shares of common stocks. An aggregate of 40,833,335 shares of the Company’s common stock are issuable upon conversion of the Series E convertible preferred stock which was issued at the initial closing on June 17, 2013. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated January 14, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of 800 shares of Series E convertible preferred stock, as well as accompanying warrants to purchase 26,666,668 shares of common stocks. An aggregate of 26,666,668 shares of the Company’s common stock are issuable upon conversion of the Series E convertible preferred stock which was issued at the closing on January 15, 2014.

 

F-33

The Company has authorized 4,150 shares of Series F 9% Convertible Preferred Stock with a stated value of one thousand ($1,000) per share. Pursuant to a securities purchase agreement dated March 27, 2014, the Company sold an aggregate of 2,075 shares of Series F convertible preferred stock, as well as accompanying warrants to purchase 69,166,667 shares of common stock. An aggregate of 69,166,667 shares of the Company’s common stock are issuable upon conversion of the Series F convertible preferred stock which was issued at the closing on March 27, 2014.

 

Subject to certain ownership limitations, the convertible preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective conversion price of $0.03 per share, and will accrue a 9% dividend until the third year anniversary of the issuances. On each one year anniversary thereafter, such dividend rate will increase by an additional 3%. The dividend is payable quarterly on September 30, December 31, March 31 and June 30, beginning on June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2014, respectively, and on each conversion date in cash, or at the Company’s option, in shares of common stock. In the event that the Series E and F convertible preferred stock is converted prior to June 17, 2016 and March 27, 2017, respectively, the Company will pay the holder of the converted preferred stock an amount equal to $270 per $1,000 of stated value of the convertible preferred stock, less the amount of all prior quarterly dividends paid on such converted preferred stock before the relevant conversion date. Such “make-whole payment” may be made in cash or, at the Company’s option, in shares of its common stock. In addition, beginning on the third anniversary date of the issuances, the Company will pay dividends on shares of preferred stock equal to (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) and in the same form as dividends (other than dividends in the form of common stock) actually paid on shares of the common stock when, and if such dividends are paid. The Company will incur a late fee of 18% per annum on unpaid dividends.

 

The conversion price of the convertible preferred stock is subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The conversion price will also be adjusted if the Company sells or grants any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then conversion price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by the Company pro rata to the holders of its common stock to the same extent as if such holders had converted all of their shares of convertible preferred stock. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the holders of convertible preferred stock will be entitled to receive, upon conversion of their shares, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction.

 

In conjunction with the issuance of the Series E convertible preferred stock in June 2013 and January 2014 and the issuance of the Series F convertible preferred stock in March 2014, the Company also issued 40,833,335, 26,666,668 and 69,166,667 warrants, respectively to the investors. Subject to certain ownership limitations, the warrants will be exercisable at any time after their respective dates of issuance and on or before the fifth-year anniversary thereafter at an exercise price of $0.03 per share of common stock. The exercise price of the warrants and, in some cases, the number of shares issuable upon exercise, are subject to adjustment in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares, similar recapitalization transactions and certain pro-rata distributions to common stockholders. The exercise price and number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise will also be adjusted if the Company sells or grants any shares of common stock or securities convertible into, or rights to acquire, common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then exercise price, except in the event of certain exempt issuances. In addition, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive any securities or rights to acquire securities or property granted or issued by the Company pro rata to the holders of its common stock to the same extent as if such holders had exercised all of their warrants. In the event of a fundamental transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all assets and similar reorganizations or recapitalizations, the warrant holders will be entitled to receive, upon exercise of their warrants, any securities or other consideration received by the holders of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the fundamental transaction. These warrants have been classified as derivative liabilities and are described further in Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities.

 

In addition, until the first anniversary date of the June 2013 and March 2014 securities purchase agreements, each investor could, in its sole determination, elect to purchase, severally and not jointly with the other investors, in one or more purchases, in the ratio of such investor's original subscription amount to the original aggregate subscription amount of all investors, additional units consisting of convertible preferred stock and warrants at a purchase price of $1,000 per unit with an aggregate subscription amount thereof of up to $1,225,000 and $2,075,000, respectively, which units would have terms identical to the units of convertible preferred stock and warrants issued in connection with the June 2013 and March 2014 closings. These additional investment rights of the investors were classified as derivative liabilities and are described further in Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities. On January 15, 2014, certain investors exercised 800 of the 1,225 shares of convertible preferred stock and related warrants available under the additional investment

F-34

rights. The remaining June 2013 additional investment rights expired on June 17, 2014. The March 2014 additional investment rights expired on March 27, 2015 and none were exercised prior to the expiry date.

 

As of April 30, 2015, 2,000 of the 2,025 originally issued shares of Series E convertible preferred stock had been converted to common stock. There were 66,666,666 shares of common stock issued upon the conversion of the Series E convertible preferred stock and 18,585,193 shares of common stock issued as “make-whole payments” on such conversions. As of April 30, 2015, 1,237 of the 2,075 originally issued shares of Series F convertible preferred stock had been converted to common stock. There were 41,224,999 shares of common stock issued upon the conversion of the Series F convertible preferred stock and 13,048,644 shares of common stock issued as “make-whole payments” on such conversions.

 

Accounting for proceeds from the Series E convertible preferred stock financing

 

The initial net cash proceeds from the Series E convertible preferred stock financing in January 2014 were $750,000. The proceeds from the financing were allocated first to the warrants that were issued in the financing and then to the make whole payments and subsequent issuance costs. As the assigned fair values were greater than the net cash proceeds from the transaction, the excess was treated as a “deemed dividend” for accounting purposes and was reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 under the caption “Preferred Stock Dividend”. The calculation methodologies for the fair values of the derivative warrant liability and the derivative additional investment rights liability are described in Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities below. The fair values assigned to each component and the calculation of the amount of the deemed dividend are as follows:

 

     Accounting allocation of initial proceeds   
Net proceeds  $750,000 
Derivative warrant liability fair value   (942,279)
Other issuance costs (finders’ fee)   (64,000)
Make whole payments liability   (216,000)
Deemed dividend  $(472,279)

 

The initial “make-whole payments” of $216,000 on the Series E convertible preferred stock were accrued as of the date of the financing and the remaining balance of $6,750 (after conversions) is included in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses (see Note 4) at April 30, 2015.

 

Accounting for proceeds from the Series F convertible preferred stock financing

 

The initial net cash proceeds from the Series F convertible preferred stock financing in March 2014 were $2,020,000. The proceeds from the financing were allocated first to the warrants that were issued in the financing, second to the additional investment rights associated with the financing and then to the make whole payments and subsequent issuance costs. As the assigned fair values were greater than the net cash proceeds from the transaction, the excess was treated as a “deemed dividend” for accounting purposes and was reported on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended July 31, 2014 under the caption “Preferred Stock Dividend”. The calculation methodologies for the fair values of the derivative warrant liability and the derivative additional investment rights liability are described in Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities below. The fair values assigned to each component and the calculation of the amount of the deemed dividend are as follows:

     Accounting allocation of initial proceeds   
Net proceeds  $2,020,000 
Derivative warrant liability fair value   (2,016,064)
Derivative additional investment rights fair value   (863,735)
Other issuance costs (finders’ fee)   (166,000)
Make whole payments liability   (560,250)
Deemed dividend  $(1,586,050)

 

The initial “make-whole payments” of $560,250 on the Series F convertible preferred stock were accrued as of the date of the financing and the remaining balance of $233,078 (after conversions) is included in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses (see Note 4) at April 30, 2015.

Note 8 – Derivative Liabilities:

 

Derivative warrant liability

The Company has warrants outstanding with price protection provisions that allow for the reduction in the exercise price of the warrants in the event the Company subsequently issues stock or securities convertible into stock at a price lower than the exercise price of the warrants. Simultaneously with any reduction to the exercise price, the number of shares of common stock that may be purchased upon exercise of each of these warrants shall be increased or decreased proportionately, so that after such adjustment the aggregate exercise price payable for the adjusted number of warrants shall be the same as the aggregate exercise price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.

 

Accounting for Derivative Warrant Liability

The Company’s derivative instruments have been measured at fair value at April 30, 2015 and July 31, 2014 using the binomial lattice model. The Company recognizes all of its warrants with price protection in its consolidated balance sheets as a liability. The liability is revalued at each reporting period and changes in fair value are recognized currently in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The initial recognition and subsequent changes in fair value of the derivative warrant liability have no effect on the Company’s consolidated cash flows.

 

The derivative warrants outstanding at April 30, 2015 are all currently exercisable with a weighted-average remaining life of 2.56 years.

 

The revaluation of the warrants at the end of the respective reporting periods resulted in the recognition of a loss of $53,597 within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended April 30, 2015 and a loss of $298,370 within the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the nine months ended April 30, 2014, which are included in the consolidated statement of operations under the caption “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities”. The fair values of the warrants at April 30, 2015 and July 31, 2014 were $2,689,240 and $2,635,643, respectively, which are reported on the consolidated balance sheets under the caption “Derivative Warrant Liability”. The following summarizes the changes in the value of the derivative warrant liability from August 1, 2013 until April 30, 2015:

 

   Value    No. of Warrants 
Balance at August 1, 2013 – Derivative warrant liability  $5,234,293    220,687,537 
Exercise of warrants   (2,194,496)   (76,732,020)
Additional warrants issued in January 2014 financing   942,279    26,666,668 
Additional warrants issued in March 2014 financing   2,016,064    69,166,667 
Decrease in fair value of derivative warrant liability   (3,362,497)                    n/a  
Balance at July 31, 2014 – Derivative warrant liability  $2,635,643    239,788,852 
Increase in fair value of derivative warrant liability   53,597                     n/a  
Balance at April 30, 2015 – Derivative warrant liability  $2,689,240    239,788,852 

 

Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Warrant Liability

The Company has determined its derivative warrant liability to be a Level 2 fair value measurement and has used the binominal lattice pricing model to calculate the fair value as of April 30, 2015 and July 31, 2014. The binomial lattice model requires six basic data inputs: the exercise or strike price, time to expiration, the risk free interest rate, the current stock price, the estimated volatility of the stock price in the future, and the dividend rate. Because the warrants contain the price protection feature, the probability that the exercise price of the warrants would decrease as the stock price decreased was incorporated into the valuation calculations. The key inputs used in the April 30, 2015 and July 31, 2014 fair value calculations were as follows:

 

    April 30, 2015    July 31, 2014 
Current exercise price  $0.03   $0.03 
Time to expiration   2.6 years    3.3 years 
Risk-free interest rate   0.91%   1.02%
Estimated volatility   79%   80%
Dividend   -0-    -0- 
Stock price at period end date  $0.0225   $0.0210 

 

Fair Value Assumptions Used in Accounting for Derivative Additional Investment Rights Liability

The Company has determined the derivative additional investment rights liability to be a Level 2 fair value measurement and has used the binominal lattice pricing model to measure the fair value. The additional investment rights expired in March 2015 and the value at April 30, 2015 is zero. The fair value of the derivative liability associated with the additional investment rights was determined to be $719,088 at July 31, 2014.

 

F-36

The key inputs used in the fair value calculation at July 31, 2014 were as follows:

 

    July 31, 2014 
Underlying number of units of convertible preferred stock   2,075 
Underlying number of units of warrants   69,166,667 
Current exercise price of warrants  $0.03 
Current conversion price of preferred stock  $0.03 
Time to expiration   0.65 years 
Risk-free interest rate   0.09%
Estimated volatility   61%
Dividend   -0- 
Stock price at period end date  $0.021 

 

The partial exercise of the additional investment rights in the quarter ended April 30, 2014, resulted in a transfer from the derivative liability to additional paid in capital of $237,566, which was the estimated fair value of the additional investment rights exercised as of the date of exercise on January 15, 2014. The revaluation of the additional investment rights in the nine-month period ended April 30, 2015, resulted in the recognition of a gain of $719,088 and in the nine-month period ended April 30, 2014, the revaluation resulted in the recognition of a gain of $1,062,448. The gains are recorded within the Company’s consolidated statements of comprehensive income under the caption “Change in fair value of derivative liabilities”.

 

 

Note 9 – Income from Assets Held for Investment, net:

 

In August 2013, the Company sold a property which was held for investment for gross proceeds after real estate commissions of $883,780. This property had a net book value of $694,911, resulting in an accounting gain of $188,869 which is included in income from assets held for investment, net on the interim consolidated statement of operations. The property was secured by a mortgage which was discharged upon the sale. After the discharge of the mortgage ($606,806), as well as legal fees, interest, penalties and other costs ($73,628 in aggregate), the sale resulted in net cash proceeds to the Company of $203,346.

 

Note 10 – Subsequent Events:

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events occurring after the balance sheet date through the date the interim statements were issued and determined that there are no events requiring financial statement disclosure.

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

   

General Corporation Law of Delaware

 

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law authorizes a corporation to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or other agents in terms sufficiently broad to permit indemnification (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) under certain circumstances for liabilities arising under the Securities Act. Our Amended and Restated By-Laws provide indemnification of our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

By-Laws

 

Article V of our Amended and Restated By-Laws provides that Generex shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (collectively, a "proceeding"), by reason of the fact such person is or was (a) a director or executive officer of Generex or a constituent corporation absorbed in a consolidation or merger (hereinafter, a "constituent corporation"), or, (b) is or was serving at the request of Generex or a constituent corporation as a director, officer, partner, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture or other enterprise or entity, or (c) is or was a director or officer of Generex serving at its request as an administrator, trustee or other fiduciary of one or more of the employee benefit plans, if any, of Generex or another entity which may be in effect from time to time, against all expenses, liability and loss actually and reasonably incurred or suffered by such person in connection with such proceeding, whether or not the indemnified liability arises or arose from any proceeding by or in the right of Generex, to the extent that such person is not otherwise indemnified and to the extent that such indemnification is not prohibited by law as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended. We shall advance all expenses reasonably incurred by a person entitled to indemnification as provided above in defending a proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding, and may, but shall not be obligated to, advance expenses of other persons entitled to indemnification pursuant to any other agreement or provision of law. To determine whether any indemnification under Article V of our Amended and Restated By-Laws is permissible, our Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors not parties to such proceeding may, and on request of a person seeking indemnification shall be required to, determine in each case whether the applicable standards in any applicable statute have been met, or such determination shall be made by independent legal counsel if such quorum is not obtainable, or, even if obtainable, a majority vote of a quorum of disinterested directors so directs. If a claim for indemnification under Article V of our Amended and Restated By-Laws

II-2

is not paid in full within ninety (90) days after a written claim therefore has been received by us, the claimant may file suit to recover the unpaid amount of such claim, and we shall have the burden of proving that the claimant was not entitled to the requested indemnification under applicable law. The reasonable expenses of any person in prosecuting a successful claim for indemnification thereunder, and the fees and expenses of any independent legal counsel engaged to determine permissibility of indemnification, shall be borne by us. For purposes of Article V of our Amended and Restated By-Laws, "independent legal counsel" means legal counsel other than that regularly or customarily engaged by or on behalf of Generex. Notwithstanding any other provision of Article V, we shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a proceeding initiated by such person only if the proceeding was authorized by the Board of Directors.

 

Article V of our Amended and Restated By-Laws further provides that indemnification provided therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other right to which one seeking indemnification may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-Laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any such person. Any modification or repeal of any provision of Article V of our Amended and Restated By-Laws shall not adversely affect any right or protection of an authorized representative existing thereunder with respect to any act or omission occurring prior to such modification or repeal.

 

Pursuant to Article V of our Amended and Restated By-Laws, our Board of Directors has the power to (i) authorize the company to purchase and maintain, at the company’s expenses, insurance on behalf of the company and on behalf of others to the extent that power to do so has not been prohibited by applicable law, and (ii) give other indemnification to the extent not prohibited by applicable law. We currently maintain insurance under which the insurers will reimburse us for amounts that it has paid to its directors and officers as indemnification for claims against such persons in their official capacities. The insurance also covers such persons as to amounts paid by them as a result of claims against them in their official capacities that are not reimbursed by us. The insurance is subject to certain limitations and exclusions.

Item 17. Undertakings

 

(a)         The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

 

(1)          To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

(i)           To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;

 

(ii)          To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

 

(iii)         To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

 

(2)          That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

(3)          To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

(4)          That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

 

(i)           If the registrant is relying on Rule 430B:

 

(A)         Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and 

 

(B)          Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date. 

 

(5)          That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities, in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

 

(i)           Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

 

(ii)          Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

 

(iii)         The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

 

(iv)         Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

 

(b)          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than a payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
