Management Commentary
Robert McNally, GeoVax's President & CEO, commented, "We are pleased with our six month financial results, including our operational expenses and cash position. Our operational expenses are minimal for a company of our size and stage of clinical trial development. We are particularly pleased with the financing strategy provided by the $10 million common stock purchase agreement with Fusion Capital Fund II, LLC. Funding from the Fusion facility will be utilized for the large Phase 2 preventative AIDS vaccine clinical trial planned to begin this fall and initiation of the therapeutic trial in HIV infected and drug-treated humans."
