The Company

Oragenics, Inc. (formerly known as Oragen, Inc.) (the “Company” or “we”) was incorporated in November 1996; however, operating activity did not commence until 1999. The Company is focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of a variety of technologies associated with oral health, broad spectrum antibiotics and other general health benefits.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (audited) and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the interim period March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2012 or any future period.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 16, 2012. The Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception. To date the Company has not generated significant revenues from operations. The Company generated revenues of $380,527, incurred a net loss of $1,616,908 and used cash of $1,143,100 in its operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2012 the Company had an accumulated deficit of $42,612,824. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During 2011 and 2012, the Company’s primary source of debt and equity funding was provided by its largest shareholder, the Koski Family Limited Partnership (the “KFLP”). The Company expects to incur substantial expenditures to further develop each of its technologies. The Company believes the working capital at March 31, 2012, together with access to the Loan Agreement with the KFLP will be sufficient to meet the business objectives as presently structured through June 2012. Management recognizes that the Company must generate additional capital resources or consider modifications to its technology development plans to enable it to continue as a going concern. Management’s plans include seeking financing, alliances or other partnership agreements with entities interested in the Company’s technologies, or other business transactions that would generate sufficient resources to assure continuation of the Company’s operations and research and development programs.

The Company intends to seek additional funding through sublicensing arrangements, joint venturing or partnering, sales of rights to technology, government grants and public or private financings. The Company’s future success depends on its ability to raise capital and ultimately generate revenue and attain profitability. The Company cannot be certain that additional capital, whether through selling additional debt or equity securities or obtaining a line of credit or other loan, will be available to it or, if available, will be on terms acceptable to the Company. If the Company issues additional securities to raise funds, these securities may have rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of its common stock, and the Company’s current shareholders may experience dilution. If the Company is unable to obtain funds when needed or on acceptable terms, the Company may be required to curtail their current development programs, cut operating costs and forego future development and other opportunities. Without sufficient capital to fund their operations, the Company will be unable to continue as a going concern. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
