Note 1. Basis of Presentation and Nature of Operations
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial information of Oragenics, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Oragenics Australia Pty Ltd (collectively, the “Company”), is unaudited and has been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) applicable to interim financial reporting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the interim period presented have been included in consolidation. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, has been derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on March 16, 2026.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2026.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Nature of Operations
Oragenics, Inc. (the “Company”) is a development-stage biopharmaceutical company dedicated to the research and development of nasally delivered pharmaceutical therapies targeting neurological conditions and infectious diseases. The Company is currently focused on advancing the development and commercialization of its lead product candidate, ONP-002, a novel formulation intended for the treatment of mild traumatic brain injury (“mTBI” or “concussion”). ONP-002 is being developed as a potential first-in-class therapeutic targeting the unmet medical need for effective concussion treatment. The Company is progressing ONP-002 through Phase IIa clinical trials in Australia, with U.S. Phase IIb trials planned to follow. The Company believes its intranasal delivery platform has potential applications across multiple neurological conditions.
Going Concern
Considering our recurring losses, accumulated deficit, and negative cash flows, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm on our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, included an explanatory paragraph raising substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We have incurred operating losses and negative cash flow from operations since inception. To date, we have not generated significant revenues from our operations. We incurred a net loss of $2.2 million and used $2.2 million cash resources in operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2026. As of March 31, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $228.8 million and cash and cash equivalents of $6.1 million.
We expect to continue to incur substantial expenses as we advance the development of ONP-002, our lead product candidate for the treatment of mild traumatic brain injury and explore potential acquisitions. Success in the biopharmaceutical and product development industry relies on the continuous development of novel product candidates. Most product candidates do not make it past the clinical development stage, which forces companies to look externally for innovation. Accordingly, we expect, from time to time, to seek strategic opportunities through various forms of business development, which can include strategic alliances, licensing deals, joint ventures, collaborations, equity or debt-based investments, dispositions, mergers, and acquisitions. We view these business development activities as a necessary component of our strategies, and we seek to enhance shareholder value by evaluating business development opportunities both within and complementary to our current business, as well as opportunities that may be new and separate from the development of our existing product candidates.
Based on our lack of revenues, anticipated uses of cash and historical recurring cash losses from operating activity, and cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2026, we believe our current working capital will be sufficient to fund planned operations through December 31, 2026, depending on the timing and scope of our development activities and other strategic decisions. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.
We plan to pursue additional financing to mitigate liquidity risk; however, substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern remains unless and until we obtain sufficient capital to fund operations beyond the current planning horizon. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on acceptable terms, or at all. If we are unable to raise sufficient capital in the future, we may be forced to delay, reduce, or eliminate our research and development programs and future acquisition and commercialization efforts, which would adversely affect our business prospects and ability to continue as a going concern. Based on these factors, there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
