ImmunoCellular Therapeutics, Ltd. ("ImmunoCellular") (NYSE MKT: IMUC) today announced financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

For the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of $3.8 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $600,000, or $0.02 per basic and diluted share during the quarter ended September 30, 2012. The net loss in the current quarter reflects a charge of $1.4 million related to the Company's revaluation of its warrant derivatives. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a gain of $2.8 million related to the revaluation of its warrant derivatives. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company incurred a net loss of $8.9 million, or $0.17 per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $15.0 million or $0.38 per basic and diluted share. The net loss for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, reflects a charge of $2 million related to the Company's revaluation of its warrant derivatives. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a charge of $5 million related to the revaluation of its warrant derivatives.

The Company reported that its cash used in operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $6.1 million compared to $9.2 million during the same period in 2012. The decrease primarily reflects a reduction in research and development costs during 2013. During the third quarter of 2012, the Company completed its patient enrollment of its phase II trial of ICT-107. As a significant amount of patient treatment costs are incurred near the time of patient enrollment, there were significantly less patient treatment costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared to 2012. The Company continues to incur costs related to its preclinical trial of ICT-140.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company received $4.3 million from the exercise of warrants and $4.9 million net proceeds from shares issued pursuant to its controlled equity offering. As a result of the controlled equity offering, the Company issued an aggregate of 1.8 million shares at an average per share price of $2.81 before commissions and other offering costs.

"We are pleased with our progress this year in meeting important goals around operating and positioning the company for success," said Andrew Gengos, ImmunoCellular Chief Executive Officer. "Our expectations concerning the timelines for our development programs remain as previously disclosed. Following the anticipated conclusion of the ICT-107 phase II trial this year, and the time required to analyze the data, we expect to announce top-line results in the fourth quarter of 2013 or first quarter of 2014. We continue to be optimistic that the phase II results can warrant advancing to a registration program, following appropriate discussions with the regulatory agencies. Our ICT-121 clinical trial in patients with recurrent glioblastoma is progressing, as is planning for initiation of our ICT-140 program in patients with ovarian cancer in the first quarter of 2014. We are focusing on ensuring that we have the resources and readiness to manage the maturation of our clinical pipeline, including upgrading our manufacturing processes and operational capabilities. We believe that our cancer vaccine platform has the potential to be transformative in the treatment of cancer, and to create value for all our stakeholders."
