NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

Advaxis is a biotechnology company developing the next generation of immunotherapies for cancer and infectious diseases. Our platform technology is designed to generate a comprehensive immune response by serving as its own adjuvant, directing antigen presentation, increasing tumor infiltrating killer T-cells, and decreasing Tregs/MDSCs in the tumor. Today, the Company has over fifteen distinct constructs in various stages of development, directly developed by the Company and through strategic collaborations.

Since the Company’s inception in 2002, it has focused its initial development efforts upon immunotherapies targeting cervical cancer, its predecessor condition, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, head and neck cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and other cancers and infectious diseases. Although no products have been commercialized to date, research and development and investment continue to be placed behind the pipeline and the advancement of this technology. Pipeline development entails risk and expense. It is anticipated that ongoing operational costs for the Company will continue to increase significantly due to several ongoing clinical trials in this fiscal year.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim period. The October 31, 2011 balance sheet is derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 (the “Form 10-K’). These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 included in the Form 10-K. The Company believes these financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that are necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. There is a working capital deficiency, a shareholders’ deficiency and recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amount and classification of recorded assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue operations.  Management’s plans are to continue to raise additional funds through the sales of debt or equity securities. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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 and the differences could be material. The most significant estimates impact the following transactions or account balances: stock compensation, liabilities (including the embedded derivative liability), warrant valuation, impairment of intangibles and projected operating results.

7

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts (checking) that at times exceed federally insured limits.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets primarily consist of legal and filing costs associated with obtaining patents and licenses. The license and patent costs capitalized primarily represent the value assigned to the Company’s 20-year exclusive worldwide license agreement with Penn, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful lives which are estimated to be twenty years from the effective date of Penn Agreement dated July 1, 2002. The value of the license and patents are based on management’s assessment regarding the ultimate recoverability of the amounts paid and the potential for alternative future uses.

We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset might not be recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is based upon estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Net assets are recorded on the balance sheet for patents and licenses related to ADXS-HPV, ADXS-PSA and ADXS-HER2 and other products that are in development. However, if a competitor were to gain FDA approval for a treatment before us or if future clinical trials fail to meet the targeted endpoints, we would likely record an impairment related to these assets. In addition, if an application is rejected or fails to be issued we would record an impairment of its estimated book value.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include but are not limited to clinical trial and related manufacturing costs, payroll and personnel expenses, lab expenses, facilities and related overhead costs.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model (hereinafter referred to as the “BSM model”) and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The BSM model requires various assumptions including volatility, forfeiture rates and expected option life. If any of the assumptions used in the BSM model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period. See Note 9 for information on stock-based compensation expense incurred in the three months ending January 31, 2012.

Warrants/Embedded Derivatives

The Company has outstanding Warrants in conjunction with its convertible promissory notes (junior unsubordinated convertible promissory notes (“Bridge Notes”) and the May 2011, October 2011 and December 2011 Notes).  The Company has two classifications of warrants: liability or equity. The liability warrants are recorded at fair value at issuance, using the Black-Scholes valuation model (BSM Model), and will continue to be recorded at fair value each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in value between reporting periods will be recorded on the statement of operations at each reporting date. The liability warrants will remain until such time as they are exercised or expire at which time they will be adjusted to fair value and reclassified from liabilities to equity. The equity warrants are recorded at their relative fair values at issuance, using the Relative Fair Value Method.

The Company has convertible features (embedded derivatives) in its convertible promissory notes (junior unsubordinated convertible promissory notes (“Bridge Notes”), the May 2011, October 2011 and December 2011 Notes and our long-term convertible promissory notes). The embedded derivatives are recorded at fair value and classified as liabilities on the balance sheet. The embedded derivatives will continue to be recorded at fair value each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in value between reporting periods will be recorded on the statement of operations at each reporting date. These embedded derivatives will remain until such time as they are exercised or expire at which time they will be adjusted to fair value and reclassified from liabilities to equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

3. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net income or basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share give effect to dilutive options, warrants, convertible debt and other potential common stock outstanding during the period. Therefore, in the case of a net loss the impact of the potential common stock resulting from warrants, outstanding stock options and convertible debt are not included in the computation of diluted loss per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. In the case of net income the impact of the potential common stock resulting from these instruments that have intrinsic value are included in the diluted earnings per share. 

The table sets forth the number of potential shares of common stock that have been excluded from diluted net loss per share: 

	As of January 31 ,
	2012		2011
Warrants		140,976,812		97,165,981
Stock Options		45,057,424		26,517,424
Convertible Debt (using as-if converted method)		46,155,102		13,275,133
Total		232,189,338		136,958,538

4. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The following is a summary of intangible assets as of the end of the following fiscal periods:

	(Unaudited)
	January 31, 2012			October 31, 2011
License	$	651,992		$	651,992
Patents		2,243,880			2,117,505
Total intangibles		2,895,872			2,769,497
Accumulated Amortization		(548,054	)		(512,645	)
Intangible Assets	$	2,347,818		$	2,256,852

The expirations of the existing patents range from 2014 to 2023 but the expirations can be extended if market approval is granted and/or based on existing laws and regulations. Amortization expense amounted to $35,409 and $32,265 for the three months ended January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2011, respectively.

5. ACCOUNTS PAYABLE AND ACCRUED EXPENSES:

6. NOTES PAYABLE - CONVERTIBLE PROMISSORY NOTES

Junior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes

We refer to all Junior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes as “Bridge Notes”.

The Bridge Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed exercise price. For every dollar invested in our Bridge Notes, each Investor received warrant coverage ranging from approximately 23% to 75%, subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events as more particularly described below and in the form of Warrant.

Long-term Convertible Promissory Notes

On April 28, 2011, Advaxis, Inc. issued and sold to an accredited investor a convertible promissory note of the Company (“Long-term Convertible Promissory Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (together with the related ancillary documents, the “ A-Note ”) in return for the payment in cash from the Investor of $500,000.  The A-Note bears interest in the form of a one-time interest charge of 8% of the principal amount of the A-Note, payable with the A-Note’s aggregate principal amount outstanding on the maturity date, April 28, 2014.  The A-Note is convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value. at a per share conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the two lowest trade prices for the Common Stock in the 20 trading days previous to the effective date of each such conversion, subject to a conversion floor of $0.15.  The A-Note may be prepaid by the Company without penalty beginning twelve months after issue date of the A-Note.  To the extent the Investor does not elect to convert the A-Note as described above, the principal amount of the A-Note not so converted shall be payable in cash on the maturity date.

On April 28, 2011, the Company also issued and sold to the same accredited investor a convertible promissory note of the Company (“Long-term Convertible Promissory Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000 (together with the related ancillary documents, the “ B-Note ” and together with the A-Note, the “ Company Notes ”). The B-Note bears interest in the form of a one-time interest charge of 8% of the principal amount of the B-Note, payable with the B-Note’s aggregate principal amount outstanding on the maturity date, April 28, 2014.  All or any portion of the aggregate principal and interest outstanding under the B-Note is convertible, at the option of the Investor from time to time (subject to the prior pre-payment of the such principal amount of the C-Note (as defined below) equal to the such principal amount of the B-Note subject to such conversion), into shares of Common Stock, at a per share conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the two lowest trade prices for the Common Stock in the 20 trading days previous to the effective date of each such conversion, subject to a conversion floor of $0.15.

11

Concurrently with the issuance of the B-Note, the Investor issued and delivered to the Company a secured and collateralized promissory note (together with the related ancillary documents, the “ C-Note ”), which served as the sole consideration paid to the Company for the Company’s issuance of the B-Note to the Investor.  The C-Note was issued in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000, bears interest in the form of a one-time interest charge of 8% of the principal amount of the C-Note, payable with the C-Note’s aggregate principal amount outstanding on the maturity date, April 28, 2014.  The C-Note is to be secured by $800,000 of an unspecified money market fund, or other assets, having a value of at least $800,000.

Immediately after the purchase by the Investor of the B-Note for the C-Note, the Investor delivered to the Company the sum of $80,000 in cash as a pre-payment on the principal amount outstanding under the C-Note.  In September 2011, the investor delivered another $80,000 under a separate C-Note.  While no further mandatory principal or interest payments are due on the C-Note until its maturity date, the C-Note contemplates (but does not require) further voluntary pre payments by the Investor on the C-Note to the Company.

Additionally, the Investor may purchase up to an additional $3.0 million in aggregate principal amount of notes in the form of the B-Note from the Company (each, an “ Additional B-Note s”).  The purchase price for each such Additional B-Note issued to the Investor will be paid by the issuance by the Investor to the Company of an additional note in the form of the C-Note (each, an “ Additional C-Note ”), with such Additional B-Notes and Additional C-Notes containing the same terms and provisions described above.

We refer to all convertible promissory notes, with a maturity date greater than one year collectively as “Long-term Convertible Notes”

During the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company converted $540,000 of principal on these long-term convertible promissory notes into 3,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Since the note contains a conversion feature that allows for a variable number of shares, these notes are valued at fair value at each reporting date. The Company recorded noncash income of approximately $76,000 due to changes in the fair value of the long-term convertible promissory notes for the three months ended January 31, 2012. As of January 31, 2012, the outstanding principal to be repaid on these notes was $172,800 and the fair value of these notes was $108,610.

7. NOTES PAYABLE –OFFICER

On September 22, 2008, Advaxis entered into an agreement (the “Moore Agreement”) with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Moore, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell senior promissory notes to Mr. Moore, from time to time (“the Moore Notes”). The terms and maturity date of the Moore Notes have been amended from time to time to change maturity dates and repayment provisions. Currently, under the terms of the amended and restated Moore Notes: (i) the maturity date is the earlier of (x) the date of consummation of an equity financing by us in an amount of $6.0 million or more and (y) the occurrence of any event of default as defined in the Moore Notes, (ii) Mr. Moore may elect, at his option, to receive accumulated interest thereon on or after April 15, 2011, (iii) we will make monthly installment payments of $100,000 on the outstanding principal amount beginning on June 15, 2011, and (iv) we may retain, at the option of Mr. Moore, $200,000 of the repayment amount for investment in our next equity financing.

In addition, Mr. Moore acquired a Note in the October 2011 Offering in exchange for the cancellation of $400,000 of outstanding indebtedness owed by the Company under the Moore Notes. As an investor in the October 2011 Offering, Mr. Moore received 1,568,627 warrants at an exercise price of $0.15. These warrants expire in October 2014.

For the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company paid Mr. Moore $35,000 in principal.  As of January 31, 2012, the Company was not in default under the terms of the Moore Agreement.  As of January 31, 2012, the Company owed Mr. Moore approximately $381,000, inclusive of accrued interest in the amount of approximately $143,000 in the form of a Note Payable –Officer and approximately $471,000 in the form of the October 2011 Notes.

Warrant Liability/Embedded Derivative Liability

Warrant Liability

As of January 31, 2012, the Company had approximately 103 million of its total 141 million outstanding warrants classified as liabilities (liability warrants). The Company utilizes the BSM Model to calculate the fair value of these warrants at issuance and at each subsequent reporting date. For those warrants with exercise price reset features (anti-dilution provisions), the Company computes multiple valuations, each quarter, using an adjusted BSM model, to account for the various possibilities that could occur due to changes in the inputs to the BSM model as a result of contractually-obligated changes (for example, changes in strike price to account for down-round provisions). The Company effectively weights each calculation based on the likelihood of occurrence to determine the value of the warrants at the reporting date. Approximately 45 million or our 103 million liability warrants are subject to anti-dilution provisions. A certain number of liability warrants contain a cash settlement provision in the event of a fundamental transaction (as defined in the common stock purchase warrant). Any changes in the fair value of the warrant liability (i.e. - the total fair value of all outstanding liability warrants at the balance sheet date) between reporting periods will be reported on the statement of operations.

At January 31, 2012, the fair value of the warrant liability was approximately $5.5 million. For the three months ended January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2011, the Company reported income of approximately $923,000 and $3.8 million, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of the warrant liability.

Embedded Derivative Liability

The Company has convertible features (Embedded Derivatives) in its outstanding convertible promissory notes (which include our Bridge Notes, May 2011 Notes, October 2011 Notes and December 2011 Notes).  The Embedded Derivatives are recorded as liabilities at issuance.  These Embedded Derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes Model (BSM Model) and are subject to revaluation at each reporting date. Any change in fair value between reporting periods will be reported on the statement of operations.

At January 31, 2012, the fair value of the Embedded Derivative Liability was approximately $741,000. For the three months ended January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2011, the Company reported expense of approximately $160,000 and income of approximately $52,000, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of the Embedded Derivative Liability.

9. ACCOUNTING FOR STOCK BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The Company records compensation expense associated with stock options based on the estimated fair value of each option award that was granted using the Black-Scholes option valuation model.

The table below summarizes compensation expenses from share-based payment awards:

	For the three months ending January 31,
	2012		2011
Research and development	$	135,673	$	96,168
General and Administrative		164,511		144,414
Total stock compensation expense recognized	$	300,184	$	240,582

Total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to non-vested stock options granted and outstanding as of January 31, 2011 was approximately $2.8 million which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 2.5 years.

No options were exercised over the three month period ended January 31, 2012. For the three month period ended January 31, 2012, the Company granted 17,740,000 options at an exercise price of approximately $0.15. The Company utilized the following assumptions in the Black-Scholes valuation model to arrive at a fair value of $0.1448 per option granted during the three months ended January 31, 2012:

Exercise Price:	$0.148
Stock Price:	$0.148
Days to Maturity:	3,650 days (10-year life for all options granted)
Risk-free Rate:	2.10%
Volatility:	143%

A summary of changes in the stock option plan for three months ended January 31, 2012 is as follows:

	Number of		Weighted-Average
	Options		Exercise Price

2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Our board of directors adopted the Advaxis, Inc. 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, which we refer to as the ESPP, on August 22, 2011, and our stockholders approved the ESPP on September 27, 2011. The ESPP allows employees to purchase common stock of the Company at an 85% discount to the market price on designated exercise dates. Employees were eligible to participate in the ESPP beginning December 30, 2011. 5,000,000 shares of our common stock are reserved for issuance under the ESPP.

During the three months ended January 31, 2012, approximately $2,200 was withheld from employees, on an after-tax basis, in order to purchase 15,862 shares of our common stock in February 2012.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

University of Pennsylvania

On May 10, 2010, we entered into a second amendment to the Penn license agreement pursuant to which we acquired exclusive licenses for an additional 27 patent applications related to our proprietary Listeria vaccine technology.   As part of this amendment we exercised our option for the rights to seven additional patent dockets, including 23 additional patent applications, at an option exercise fee payable in the form of $35,000 in cash and $70,000 in our common stock (approximately 388,889 shares of our common stock based on a price of $0.18 per share) and agreed to pay historical patent costs incurred by the University of Pennsylvania at a cost of approximately $462,000.

15

On December 12, 2011, we entered into a third amendment to the Penn license agreement pursuant to which we acquired an exclusive worldwide license agreement for additional patent applications from the laboratory of Dr. Yvonne Paterson at an option exercise fee of $20,000.

As of January 31, 2012, the Company owed approximately $455,000 to Penn under all licensing agreements.

Other

Pursuant to a Clinical Research Service Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Pharm–Olam International for service fees related to our Phase I clinical trial. As of January 31, 2012, the Company has an outstanding balance of $223,620 on this agreement.

On June 19, 2009 we entered into a Master Agreement and on July 8, 2009 we entered into a Project Agreement with Numoda, a leading clinical trial and logistics management company, to oversee Phase II clinical activity with ADXS11-001 for the treatment of invasive cervical cancer and CIN.  Numoda will be responsible globally for integrating oversight and logistical functions with the clinical research organizations, contract laboratories, academic laboratories and statistical groups involved.  The scope of this agreement covers over three years and is estimated to cost approximately $12.2 million for both trials. Per the agreement, the Company is permitted to pay a portion of outstanding charges to Numoda in the form of the Company’s common stock and during May 2010, the Company issued 3,500,000 shares of its common stock to an affiliate of Numoda in satisfaction of $350,000 in services rendered by Numoda to the Company under the Master Agreement. The Company has recorded a deferred expense on the balance sheet for this amount and amortizes this amount to expense over the life of the agreement. As the Company is billed by Numoda on a monthly basis, these costs are capitalized to deferred expenses. As the clinical trials progress in terms of patient enrollment and time, the Company reduces the deferred expense balance and recognizes clinical trials expense on the statement of operations. From inception through January 31, 2012, the Company has paid Numoda approximately $7.2 million.

Office & Laboratory Lease

In April 2011, the Company entered into a Sublease Agreement and relocated the current offices and laboratory to a 9,143 square foot leased facility in Princeton, NJ approximately 12 miles south of its former location.  The agreement is for a period of approximately twenty months at the rate of approximately $15,600 per month plus utilities. Utility costs are estimated to be $7,200 per month and are capped at approximately $10,700 per month. Under the current lease, the Company expects to spend approximately $288,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.  As an inducement to enter into the agreement, the company will receive rent abatement for a specified number of months through July 31, 2011. The agreement has a termination date of November 29, 2012 and the Company is in discussions with building owner for lease terms beyond this date.

As a result of the rent abatement period, the Company recorded differences between actual rent payments and straight-line rent expense to a deferred liability account.  As of January 31, 2012, this amount was approximately $48,000.

11. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Series B Preferred Stock Financing

On April 4, 2011,the   Company and Optimus  entered into an amendment to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated July 19, 2010  between the Company and Optimus.  Under the amendment Optimus  remains obligated, from time to time until July 19, 2013, to purchase up to an additional 284 shares of non-convertible, redeemable Series B Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “ Series B Preferred Stock ”) at a purchase price of $10,000 per share upon notice from the Company to the Investor, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

In order to satisfy certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement that would allow the Company to require the Investor to purchase the remaining shares of Series B Preferred Stock under the Purchase Agreement, the Amendment provides that, among other things, the Company will issue to the Holder a three-year warrant (the “ Additional Warrant ”) to purchase up to an additional 25,560,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial exercise price of $0.15 per share, subject to adjustment as described below.  The Additional Warrant will become exercisable on the earlier of (i) the date on which a registration statement registering for resale the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the Additional Warrant (the “ Warrant Shares ”) becomes effective and (ii) the first date on which such Warrant Shares are eligible for resale without limitation under Rule 144 (assuming a cashless exercise of the Additional Warrant).  The Additional Warrant consists of and is exercisable in tranches, with a separate tranche being created upon each delivery of a tranche notice under the Purchase Agreement.  On each tranche notice date, that portion of the Additional Warrant equal to 135% of the tranche amount will vest and become exercisable, and such vested portion may be exercised at any time during the exercise period on or after such tranche notice date.  On and after the first tranche notice date and each subsequent tranche notice date, the exercise price of the Additional Warrant will be adjusted to the closing sale price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the applicable tranche notice date.  The exercise price of the Additional Warrant may be paid (at the option of the Investor) in cash or by the Investor’s issuance of a four-year, full-recourse promissory note (each, a “ Promissory Note ”), bearing interest at 2% per annum, and secured by specified portfolio of assets.  However, no Promissory Note will be due or payable at any time that (a) the Company is in default of any preferred stock purchase agreement for Series B Preferred Stock or any warrant issued pursuant thereto, any loan agreement or other material agreement or (b) there are any shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.  The Additional Warrant also provides for cashless exercise in certain circumstances. If a “Funding Default” (as such term is defined in the Additional Warrant) occurs and the Additional Warrant has not previously been exercised in full, the Company has the right to demand surrender of the Additional Warrant (or any remaining portion thereof) without compensation, and the Additional Warrant will automatically be cancelled.

On April 4, 2011, the Company and the Holder also entered into an Amended and Restated Security Agreement to ensure that any Promissory Note issued upon exercise of the Additional Warrant will be entitled to the benefits of the security and collateral provisions of the Security Agreement dated as of July 19, 2010.

17

For the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company did not issue and sell any shares of non-convertible, redeemable Series B Preferred Stock to Optimus pursuant to the terms of a Preferred Stock Purchase. 

As of January 31, 2012, the Company continued to have 284 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock available for sale to Optimus at a gross purchase price of $10,000 per share in addition to 25,560,000 warrants remaining outstanding. These warrants may vest and become exercisable only if the Company delivers a tranche notice. During December 2011, the Company unreserved common shares related to these warrants.  In addition, under the terms of each of the May, October and December 2011 Notes, the Company may issue Optimus securities only to the extent the net proceeds of such issuance are used to repay May, October and December 2011 Noteholders.

Warrants

During the three months ending January 31, 2012, investors in the Company exercised 2,745,097 warrants at a price of $0.15 per share, resulting in total proceeds to the Company of approximately $412,000.  In addition, in an effort to reduce the number of the warrants outstanding from the October 17, 2007 private placement by Advaxis, Inc. (the “ Company ”), the Company has entered into exchange agreements with certain of the holders of such warrants pursuant to which such holders received shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), and/or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock in amounts that were determined in such negotiations. For the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company exchanged October 2007 warrants to purchase 4,791,337 shares of Common Stock for new warrants to purchase 6,388,449 shares of Common Stock. The new warrants issued pursuant to the exchanges are identical to the October 2007 warrants, except that such warrants do not contain any economic anti-dilution adjustment. The Company recorded noncash expense of approximately $25,000 to the changes in fair value account resulting from this exchange for the three months ended January 31, 2012. As of January 31, 2012, the Company had approximately 44.6 million warrants subject to anti-dilution provisions. Therefore, any future financial offering or instrument issuance below $0.15 per share of the Company’s common stock or warrants will cause further anti-dilution and/or repricing provisions in these 44.6 million warrants.

At January 31, 2012, the Company had approximately 38 million of its total 141 million outstanding warrants classified as equity (equity warrants). At issuance, equity warrants are recorded at their relative fair values, using the Relative Fair Value Method, in the stockholders equity section of the balance sheet. Our equity warrants can only be settled through the issuance of shares and are not subject to anti-dilution provisions. 

12.    FAIR VALUE

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value 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 the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii)knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance 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 which are the following:

·   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 or 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

The following table provides the liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2012:

January 31, 2012	Level 1		Level 2	Level 3		Total
Common stock warrant liability, warrants exercisable at $.15 - $0.17 from August 2012 through November 2015	$	-	$	$	5,527,591	$	5,527,591
Embedded derivative liability, convertible at $0.15 from May 2012 through January 2013	$	-	$	$	741,496	$	741,496

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

The Company has included in this Quarterly Report certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 concerning the Company’s business, operations and financial condition. “Forward-looking statements” consist of all non-historical information, and the analysis of historical information, including the references in this Quarterly Report to future revenues, collaborative agreements, future expense growth, future credit exposure, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, future profitability, anticipated cash resources, anticipated capital expenditures, capital requirements, and the Company’s plans for future periods. In addition, the words “could”, “expects”, “anticipates”, “objective”, “plan”, “may affect”, “may depend”, “believes”, “estimates”, “projects” and similar words and phrases are also intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Such factors include the risk factors included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 and other factors discussed in connection with any forward-looking statement.

Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the Company’s forward-looking statements due to numerous known and unknown risks and uncertainties, including, among other things, the Company’s ability to raise capital unanticipated technological difficulties, the length, scope and outcome of our clinical trial, costs related to intellectual property, cost of manufacturing and higher consulting costs, product demand, changes in domestic and foreign economic, market and regulatory conditions, the inherent uncertainty of financial estimates and projections, the uncertainties involved in certain legal proceedings, instabilities arising from terrorist actions and responses thereto, and other considerations described as “Risk Factors” in other filings by the Company with the SEC. Such factors may also cause substantial volatility in the market price of the Company’s Common Stock. All such forward-looking statements are current only as of the date on which such statements were made. The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which any such statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

General

Our common stock trades on the Over-the-Counter Marketplace under the ticker symbol ADXS.OB.

We are a development stage biotechnology company with the intent to develop safe and effective cancer vaccines that utilize multiple mechanisms of immunity. We are developing a live Listeria vaccine technology under license from the University of Pennsylvania (“Penn”) which secretes a protein sequence containing a tumor-specific antigen. We believe this vaccine technology is capable of stimulating the body’s immune system to process and recognize the antigen as if it were foreign, generating an immune response able to attack the cancer. We believe this to be a broadly enabling platform technology that can be applied to the treatment of many types of cancers, infectious diseases and auto-immune disorders.  In addition, this technology supports among other things the immune response by altering tumors to make them more susceptible to immune attack stimulating the development of specific blood cells that underlie a strong therapeutic immune response.

We have no customers. Since our inception in 2002, we have focused our development efforts upon understanding our technology and establishing a product development pipeline that incorporates this technology in the therapeutic cancer vaccines area targeting cervical, head and neck, prostate, breast, and a pre-cancerous indication of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, which we refer to as CIN. Although no products have been commercialized to date, research and development and investment continues to be placed behind the pipeline and the advancement of this technology. Pipeline development and the further exploration of the technology for advancement entail risk and expense. We anticipate that our ongoing operational costs will increase significantly as we continue our four Phase II clinical trials that started this fiscal year.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JANUARY 31, 2012 AND 2011

Revenue

We did not record any revenue for the three months ended January 31, 2012 and 2011. 

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development expenses increased by approximately $225,000 or 11% to approximately $2,213,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2012 as compared with approximately $1,988,000 for the same period a year ago principally attributable to clinical trial expenses increasing significantly resulting from the continuation of our clinical trials in the United States and India as well as expenses related to the initiation of clinical trial studies related to cervical and prostate cancer. In addition, overall compensation expense was higher in the current period resulting from additional employees, increased stock-based compensation and increases in salaries.

We anticipate continued increases in R&D expenses as a result of expanded development efforts primarily related to clinical trials and product development. In addition, expenses will be incurred in the development of strategic and other relationships required to license, manufacture and distribute our product candidates.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $49,000 or 5%, to approximately $1,031,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2012 as compared with approximately $982,000 for the same period a year ago. This was the result of higher overall compensation expense resulting from increased stock-based compensation, severance paid to a former employee and higher office and related expenses in the current period resulting from the relocation of the Company’s operations to Princeton, NJ in April 2011. These increases were offset by a decrease in noncash warrant expense in the current period when compared with the same period a year ago.

Interest Expense

For the three months ended January 31, 2012, interest expense increased to approximately $1,617,000 from approximately $532,000 primarily due to the sale of convertible promissory notes in May, October and December 2011.  Additionally, the debt discounts related to the original fair values of both warrants and embedded derivatives are amortized to interest expense over the life of these convertible promissory notes.

 Other Expense/ Income

Interest Income was $0 as compared with approximately $54,000 in the same period a year ago. We record all interest earned on Optimus promissory notes to equity in accordance with ASC 505 10-45. The Optimus promissory notes are classified in the equity section of the balance sheet as a promissory note receivable.

Other income was approximately $7,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2012 as compared with other expenses of approximately $17,000 in the same period a year ago as a result of favorable changes in foreign exchange rates relating to transactions with certain vendors.

Gain on Note Retirement

For the three months ended January 31, 2012, we recorded a charge to income of approximately $86,000 resulting from the exchange by an investor of 2007 warrants that contained anti-dilution provisions, for a larger number of warrants with no anti-dilution provisions in addition to the conversion of some bridge notes into shares of the Company’s common stock

Changes in Fair Values

 For the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company recorded income from changes in the fair value of the warrant liability and embedded derivative liability of approximately $840,000 compared with income of approximately $3.8 million in same period a year ago. In the current period, the increase in income of approximately $840,000 resulted from a decrease in the Black-Scholes value of each liability warrant due to a smaller range of share prices used in the calculation of the BSM Model volatility input somewhat offset by a slight increase in our share price over the three months ended January 31, 2012.

For the three months ended January 31, 2011, the Company recorded income resulting from a decrease in the Black-Scholes value of each liability warrant due to a smaller range of share prices used in the calculation of the BSM Model volatility input in addition to a slight decrease in our share price for the three months ended January 31, 2011.

21

Potential future increases or decreases in our stock price will result in increased or decreased warrant and embedded derivative liabilities, respectively, on our balance sheet and therefore increased or decreased expenses being recognized in our statement of operations in future periods.

Income Tax Benefit

In the three months ended January 31, 2012, the income tax benefit was approximately $347,000 due to the receipt of a NOL tax credit from the State of New Jersey tax program compared to approximately $379,000 in NOL tax credits received from the State of New Jersey tax program in the three months ended January 31, 2011.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since our inception through January 31, 2012, the Company has reported accumulated net losses of approximately $39.3 million and recurring negative cash flows from operations. We anticipate that we will continue to generate significant losses from operations for the foreseeable future.

Cash used in operating activities, for the three months ending January 31, 2012, was approximately $2.1 million, primarily as a result of the following: increased R&D spending on clinical trials and higher general and administrative spending.

Cash used in investing activities, for the three months ended January 31, 2012, was approximately $126,000 resulting from spending in support of our intangible assets (patents) and costs paid to the University of Pennsylvania for patents.

Cash provided by financing activities, for the three months ended January 31, 2012, was approximately $1.7 million, resulting from net proceeds received from the sale of convertible promissory notes ($1.3 million) and the exercise of warrants (approximately $412,000).

  Notes Payable

The Company issued convertible promissory notes (December 2011 Offering) in the aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.2 million (net cash received of approximately $1 million) during the three months ended January 31, 2012. During the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company paid approximately $53,000 in principal value on its Bridge Notes. (See Note #6)

During the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company repaid $35,000 in principal on a convertible secured debenture from an Officer of the Company.

22

Our limited capital resources and operations to date have been funded primarily with the proceeds from public and private equity and debt financings, NOL tax sales and income earned on investments and grants.  We have sustained losses from operations in each fiscal year since our inception, and we expect losses to continue for the indefinite future, due to the substantial investment in research and development. As of January 31, 2012 and October 31, 2011, we had an accumulated deficit of $39,286,059 and $35,531,740, respectively and shareholders’ deficiency of $11,058,318 and $12,279,713, respectively.

During the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company sold $1.2 million of Convertible promissory notes for a net purchase price of $1.0 million and received cash from warrant exercises in the amount of approximately $412,000.  The cash was used to reduce overdue payables and finance day to day operations.

Based on our available cash, we do not have adequate cash on hand to cover our anticipated expenses for the next 12 months. If we fail to raise a significant amount of capital, we may need to significantly curtail operations in the near future. These conditions raised substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Consequently, the audit report prepared by our independent public accounting firm relating to our financial statements for the year ended October 31, 2011 included a going concern explanatory paragraph.

Our business will require substantial additional investment that we have not yet secured, and our failure to raise capital and/or pursue partnering opportunities will materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We expect to spend substantial additional sums beyond our recent capital raises on the continued administration and research and development of proprietary products and technologies, including conducting clinical trials for our product candidates, with no certainty that our products will become commercially viable or profitable as a result of these expenditures.  Further, we will not have sufficient resources to develop fully any new products or technologies unless we are able to raise substantial additional financing on acceptable terms or secure funds from new partners. We cannot be assured that additional financing will be available at all. Any additional investments or resources required would be approached, to the extent appropriate in the circumstances, in an incremental fashion to attempt to cause minimal disruption or dilution.  Any additional capital raised through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities will result in dilution to our existing stockholders.  However, no assurances can be given, however, that we will be able to achieve these goals or that we will be able to continue as a going concern

We are pursuing additional investments, grants, partnerships as well as collaborations and exploring other financing options, with the objective of minimizing dilution and disruption.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of January 31, 2012, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting and New Accounting Pronouncements

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures in the financial statements. Management considers an accounting estimate to be critical if:

· It requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made, and

· Changes in the estimate of difference estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Actual results could differ from those estimates and the differences could be material. The most significant estimates impact the following transactions or account balances: stock compensation, liabilities, warrant valuation, impairment of intangibles and fixed assets and projected operating results.

Share-Based Payments - We record compensation expense associated with stock options in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, Stock Compensation (formerly, FASB Statement 123R). We adopted the modified prospective transition method provided under SFAS No. 123R. Under this transition method, compensation expense associated with stock options recognized in the first quarter of fiscal year 2007, and in subsequent quarters, includes expense related to the remaining unvested portion of all stock option awards granted prior to April 1, 2006, the estimated fair value of each option award granted was determined on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS No. 123.

We estimate the value of stock options awards on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The determination of the fair value of the share-based payment awards on the date of grant is affected by our stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables. These variables include our expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, expected term, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and expected forfeiture rates. The forfeiture rate is estimated using historical option cancellation information, adjusted for anticipated changes in expected exercise and employment termination behavior. Our outstanding awards do not contain market or performance conditions; therefore we have elected to recognize share based employee compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

23

If factors change and we employ different assumptions in the application of ASC 718 in future periods, the compensation expense that we record under ASC 718 relative to new grants may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. There is a high degree of subjectivity involved when using option-pricing models to estimate share-based compensation under ASC 718. Consequently, there is a risk that our estimates of the fair values of our share-based compensation awards on the grant dates may bear little resemblance to the actual values realized upon the exercise, expiration, early termination or forfeiture of those share-based payments in the future. Employee stock options may expire worthless or otherwise result in zero intrinsic value as compared to the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements. Alternatively, value may be realized from these instruments that are significantly in excess of the fair values originally estimated on the grant date and reported in our financial statements.

Warrants

Warrants were issued in connection with the equity financings completed in October 2007, the preferred equity financing with Optimus, our Bridge Notes issued from June 2009 through May 2011 and convertible promissory notes issued in the May, October and December 2011 offerings. At issuance, we estimate the fair value of these instruments using the Black-Scholes model, which takes into account a variety of factors, including historical stock price volatility, risk-free interest rates, remaining term and the closing price of our common stock. For those warrants classified as liabilities on the balance sheet, we estimate their fair value at each subsequent balance sheet date. Changes in assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these derivative instruments could result in a material change in the fair value of the instruments. We believe the assumptions used to estimate the fair values of the warrants are reasonable.

As of January 31, 2012, we had outstanding warrants (including 25,560,000 warrants owned by Optimus as part of the Series B purchase agreement) to purchase 140,976,812 shares of our common stock (adjusted for anti-dilution provisions to-date).  Approximately 102.6 million of these warrants (including Optimus) are classified as liabilities on the balance sheet. Approximately 38.3 million of these warrants are classified as equity on the balance sheet. Substantially all warrants have an exercise price of $0.15 per share.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

There have been no material changes in our risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 31, 2011.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

During the period covered by this report, we have issued unregistered securities to the persons as described below. None of these transactions involved any underwriters, underwriting discounts or commissions, except as specified below, or any public offering, and we believe that each transaction was exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 by virtue of Section 3(a)(9) or Section 4(2) thereof and/or Regulation D promulgated there under. All recipients had adequate access to information about us. We have not furnished information under this item to the extent that such information previously has been included under Item 3.02 in a Current Report on Form 8-K.

In November 2011, the registrant entered into exchange agreements with certain of the holders of the warrants outstanding from its October 17, 2007 private placement, pursuant to which such holders received warrants to purchase shares of the registrant’s common stock in amounts that were determined in such negotiations. During the first quarter of 2012, the registrant has exchanged October 2007 warrants to purchase 4,791,337 shares of its common stock in return new warrants to purchase 6,388,449 shares of its common stock. The new warrants issued pursuant to the exchanges are substantially identical to the October 2007 warrants, except that such warrants do not contain any economic anti-dilution adjustment rights.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

3 Months Ended

Jan. 31, 2012

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles required management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures 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 and the differences could be material. The most significant estimates impact the following transactions or account balances: stock compensation, liabilities (including the embedded derivative liability), warrant valuation, impairment of intangibles and projected operating results.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts (checking) that at times exceed federally insured limits.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets primarily consist of legal and filing costs associated with obtaining patents and licenses. The license and patent costs capitalized primarily represent the value assigned to the Company’s 20-year exclusive worldwide license agreement with Penn, which are amortized on a straight-line basis over their remaining useful lives which are estimated to be twenty years from the effective date of Penn Agreement dated July 1, 2002. The value of the license and patents are based on management’s assessment regarding the ultimate recoverability of the amounts paid and the potential for alternative future uses.

We review our long-lived assets for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset might not be recoverable and its carrying amount exceeds its fair value, which is based upon estimated undiscounted future cash flows. Net assets are recorded on the balance sheet for patents and licenses related to ADXS-HPV, ADXS-PSA and ADXS-HER2 and other products that are in development. However, if a competitor were to gain FDA approval for a treatment before us or if future clinical trials fail to meet the targeted endpoints, we would likely record an impairment related to these assets. In addition, if an application is rejected or fails to be issued we would record an impairment of its estimated book value.

Research and Development Expenses

Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and include but are not limited to clinical trial and related manufacturing costs, payroll and personnel expenses, lab expenses, facilities and related overhead costs.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model (hereinafter referred to as the “BSM model”) and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The BSM model requires various assumptions including volatility, forfeiture rates and expected option life. If any of the assumptions used in the BSM model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that recorded in the current period. See Note 9 for information on stock-based compensation expense incurred in the three months ending January 31, 2012.

Warrants/Embedded Derivatives

The Company has outstanding Warrants in conjunction with its convertible promissory notes (junior unsubordinated convertible promissory notes (“Bridge Notes”) and the May 2011, October 2011 and December 2011 Notes).  The Company has two classifications of warrants: liability or equity. The liability warrants are recorded at fair value at issuance, using the Black-Scholes valuation model (BSM Model), and will continue to be recorded at fair value each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in value between reporting periods will be recorded on the statement of operations at each reporting date. The liability warrants will remain until such time as they are exercised or expire at which time they will be adjusted to fair value and reclassified from liabilities to equity. The equity warrants are recorded at their relative fair values at issuance, using the Relative Fair Value Method.

The Company has convertible features (embedded derivatives) in its convertible promissory notes (junior unsubordinated convertible promissory notes (“Bridge Notes”), the May 2011, October 2011 and December 2011 Notes and our long-term convertible promissory notes). The embedded derivatives are recorded at fair value and classified as liabilities on the balance sheet. The embedded derivatives will continue to be recorded at fair value each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in value between reporting periods will be recorded on the statement of operations at each reporting date. These embedded derivatives will remain until such time as they are exercised or expire at which time they will be adjusted to fair value and reclassified from liabilities to equity.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting standards if currently adopted would have a material effect on the accompanying financial statements.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block]

1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Nature of Operations

Advaxis is a biotechnology company developing the next generation of immunotherapies for cancer and infectious diseases. Our platform technology is designed to generate a comprehensive immune response by serving as its own adjuvant, directing antigen presentation, increasing tumor infiltrating killer T-cells, and decreasing Tregs/MDSCs in the tumor. Today, the Company has over fifteen distinct constructs in various stages of development, directly developed by the Company and through strategic collaborations.

Since the Company’s inception in 2002, it has focused its initial development efforts upon immunotherapies targeting cervical cancer, its predecessor condition, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, head and neck cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer, and other cancers and infectious diseases. Although no products have been commercialized to date, research and development and investment continue to be placed behind the pipeline and the advancement of this technology. Pipeline development entails risk and expense. It is anticipated that ongoing operational costs for the Company will continue to increase significantly due to several ongoing clinical trials in this fiscal year.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements include all adjustments (consisting only of those of a normal recurring nature) necessary for a fair statement of the results of the interim period. The October 31, 2011 balance sheet is derived from the audited balance sheet included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 (the “Form 10-K’). These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements and notes for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2011 included in the Form 10-K. The Company believes these financial statements reflect all adjustments and reclassifications that are necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and results of operations for the periods presented.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. There is a working capital deficiency, a shareholders’ deficiency and recurring losses from operations that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The financial statements do not include any adjustments to the carrying amount and classification of recorded assets and liabilities should the Company be unable to continue operations.  Management’s plans are to continue to raise additional funds through the sales of debt or equity securities. Results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Text Block]

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

University of Pennsylvania

On May 10, 2010, we entered into a second amendment to the Penn license agreement pursuant to which we acquired exclusive licenses for an additional 27 patent applications related to our proprietary Listeria vaccine technology.   As part of this amendment we exercised our option for the rights to seven additional patent dockets, including 23 additional patent applications, at an option exercise fee payable in the form of $35,000 in cash and $70,000 in our common stock (approximately 388,889 shares of our common stock based on a price of $0.18 per share) and agreed to pay historical patent costs incurred by the University of Pennsylvania at a cost of approximately $462,000.

On December 12, 2011, we entered into a third amendment to the Penn license agreement pursuant to which we acquired an exclusive worldwide license agreement for additional patent applications from the laboratory of Dr. Yvonne Paterson at an option exercise fee of $20,000.

As of January 31, 2012, the Company owed approximately $455,000 to Penn under all licensing agreements.

Other

Pursuant to a Clinical Research Service Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay Pharm–Olam International for service fees related to our Phase I clinical trial. As of January 31, 2012, the Company has an outstanding balance of $223,620 on this agreement.

On June 19, 2009 we entered into a Master Agreement and on July 8, 2009 we entered into a Project Agreement with Numoda, a leading clinical trial and logistics management company, to oversee Phase II clinical activity with ADXS11-001 for the treatment of invasive cervical cancer and CIN.  Numoda will be responsible globally for integrating oversight and logistical functions with the clinical research organizations, contract laboratories, academic laboratories and statistical groups involved.  The scope of this agreement covers over three years and is estimated to cost approximately $12.2 million for both trials. Per the agreement, the Company is permitted to pay a portion of outstanding charges to Numoda in the form of the Company’s common stock and during May 2010, the Company issued 3,500,000 shares of its common stock to an affiliate of Numoda in satisfaction of $350,000 in services rendered by Numoda to the Company under the Master Agreement. The Company has recorded a deferred expense on the balance sheet for this amount and amortizes this amount to expense over the life of the agreement. As the Company is billed by Numoda on a monthly basis, these costs are capitalized to deferred expenses. As the clinical trials progress in terms of patient enrollment and time, the Company reduces the deferred expense balance and recognizes clinical trials expense on the statement of operations. From inception through January 31, 2012, the Company has paid Numoda approximately $7.2 million.

Office & Laboratory Lease

In April 2011, the Company entered into a Sublease Agreement and relocated the current offices and laboratory to a 9,143 square foot leased facility in Princeton, NJ approximately 12 miles south of its former location.  The agreement is for a period of approximately twenty months at the rate of approximately $15,600 per month plus utilities. Utility costs are estimated to be $7,200 per month and are capped at approximately $10,700 per month. Under the current lease, the Company expects to spend approximately $288,000 for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2012.  As an inducement to enter into the agreement, the company will receive rent abatement for a specified number of months through July 31, 2011. The agreement has a termination date of November 29, 2012 and the Company is in discussions with building owner for lease terms beyond this date.

As a result of the rent abatement period, the Company recorded differences between actual rent payments and straight-line rent expense to a deferred liability account.  As of January 31, 2012, this amount was approximately $48,000.

SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Stockholders Equity Note [Abstract]

Stockholders' Equity Note Disclosure [Text Block]

11. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Series B Preferred Stock Financing

On April 4, 2011,the   Company and Optimus  entered into an amendment to the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement dated July 19, 2010  between the Company and Optimus.  Under the amendment Optimus  remains obligated, from time to time until July 19, 2013, to purchase up to an additional 284 shares of non-convertible, redeemable Series B Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “ Series B Preferred Stock ”) at a purchase price of $10,000 per share upon notice from the Company to the Investor, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

In order to satisfy certain conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement that would allow the Company to require the Investor to purchase the remaining shares of Series B Preferred Stock under the Purchase Agreement, the Amendment provides that, among other things, the Company will issue to the Holder a three-year warrant (the “ Additional Warrant ”) to purchase up to an additional 25,560,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, at an initial exercise price of $0.15 per share, subject to adjustment as described below.  The Additional Warrant will become exercisable on the earlier of (i) the date on which a registration statement registering for resale the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon exercise of the Additional Warrant (the “ Warrant Shares ”) becomes effective and (ii) the first date on which such Warrant Shares are eligible for resale without limitation under Rule 144 (assuming a cashless exercise of the Additional Warrant).  The Additional Warrant consists of and is exercisable in tranches, with a separate tranche being created upon each delivery of a tranche notice under the Purchase Agreement.  On each tranche notice date, that portion of the Additional Warrant equal to 135% of the tranche amount will vest and become exercisable, and such vested portion may be exercised at any time during the exercise period on or after such tranche notice date.  On and after the first tranche notice date and each subsequent tranche notice date, the exercise price of the Additional Warrant will be adjusted to the closing sale price of a share of the Company’s common stock on the applicable tranche notice date.  The exercise price of the Additional Warrant may be paid (at the option of the Investor) in cash or by the Investor’s issuance of a four-year, full-recourse promissory note (each, a “ Promissory Note ”), bearing interest at 2% per annum, and secured by specified portfolio of assets.  However, no Promissory Note will be due or payable at any time that (a) the Company is in default of any preferred stock purchase agreement for Series B Preferred Stock or any warrant issued pursuant thereto, any loan agreement or other material agreement or (b) there are any shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock issued or outstanding.  The Additional Warrant also provides for cashless exercise in certain circumstances. If a “Funding Default” (as such term is defined in the Additional Warrant) occurs and the Additional Warrant has not previously been exercised in full, the Company has the right to demand surrender of the Additional Warrant (or any remaining portion thereof) without compensation, and the Additional Warrant will automatically be cancelled.

On April 4, 2011, the Company and the Holder also entered into an Amended and Restated Security Agreement to ensure that any Promissory Note issued upon exercise of the Additional Warrant will be entitled to the benefits of the security and collateral provisions of the Security Agreement dated as of July 19, 2010.

For the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company did not issue and sell any shares of non-convertible, redeemable Series B Preferred Stock to Optimus pursuant to the terms of a Preferred Stock Purchase. 

As of January 31, 2012, the Company continued to have 284 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock available for sale to Optimus at a gross purchase price of $10,000 per share in addition to 25,560,000 warrants remaining outstanding. These warrants may vest and become exercisable only if the Company delivers a tranche notice. During December 2011, the Company unreserved common shares related to these warrants.  In addition, under the terms of each of the May, October and December 2011 Notes, the Company may issue Optimus securities only to the extent the net proceeds of such issuance are used to repay May, October and December 2011 Noteholders.

Warrants

During the three months ending January 31, 2012, investors in the Company exercised 2,745,097 warrants at a price of $0.15 per share, resulting in total proceeds to the Company of approximately $412,000.  In addition, in an effort to reduce the number of the warrants outstanding from the October 17, 2007 private placement by Advaxis, Inc. (the “ Company ”), the Company has entered into exchange agreements with certain of the holders of such warrants pursuant to which such holders received shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), and/or warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock in amounts that were determined in such negotiations. For the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company exchanged October 2007 warrants to purchase 4,791,337 shares of Common Stock for new warrants to purchase 6,388,449 shares of Common Stock. The new warrants issued pursuant to the exchanges are identical to the October 2007 warrants, except that such warrants do not contain any economic anti-dilution adjustment. The Company recorded noncash expense of approximately $25,000 to the changes in fair value account resulting from this exchange for the three months ended January 31, 2012. As of January 31, 2012, the Company had approximately 44.6 million warrants subject to anti-dilution provisions. Therefore, any future financial offering or instrument issuance below $0.15 per share of the Company’s common stock or warrants will cause further anti-dilution and/or repricing provisions in these 44.6 million warrants.

At January 31, 2012, the Company had approximately 38 million of its total 141 million outstanding warrants classified as equity (equity warrants). At issuance, equity warrants are recorded at their relative fair values, using the Relative Fair Value Method, in the stockholders equity section of the balance sheet. Our equity warrants can only be settled through the issuance of shares and are not subject to anti-dilution provisions.

12.    FAIR VALUE

The authoritative guidance for fair value measurements defines fair value 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 the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Market participants are buyers and sellers in the principal market that are (i) independent, (ii)knowledgeable, (iii) able to transact, and (iv) willing to transact. The guidance 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 which are the following:

·   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 or 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

The following table provides the liabilities carried at fair value measured on a recurring basis as of January 31, 2012:

January 31, 2012	Level 1		Level 2	Level 3		Total

Warrant Liability/Embedded Derivative Liability

Warrant Liability

As of January 31, 2012, the Company had approximately 103 million of its total 141 million outstanding warrants classified as liabilities (liability warrants). The Company utilizes the BSM Model to calculate the fair value of these warrants at issuance and at each subsequent reporting date. For those warrants with exercise price reset features (anti-dilution provisions), the Company computes multiple valuations, each quarter, using an adjusted BSM model, to account for the various possibilities that could occur due to changes in the inputs to the BSM model as a result of contractually-obligated changes (for example, changes in strike price to account for down-round provisions). The Company effectively weights each calculation based on the likelihood of occurrence to determine the value of the warrants at the reporting date. Approximately 45 million or our 103 million liability warrants are subject to anti-dilution provisions. A certain number of liability warrants contain a cash settlement provision in the event of a fundamental transaction (as defined in the common stock purchase warrant). Any changes in the fair value of the warrant liability (i.e. - the total fair value of all outstanding liability warrants at the balance sheet date) between reporting periods will be reported on the statement of operations.

At January 31, 2012, the fair value of the warrant liability was approximately $5.5 million. For the three months ended January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2011, the Company reported income of approximately $923,000 and $3.8 million, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of the warrant liability.

Embedded Derivative Liability

The Company has convertible features (Embedded Derivatives) in its outstanding convertible promissory notes (which include our Bridge Notes, May 2011 Notes, October 2011 Notes and December 2011 Notes).  The Embedded Derivatives are recorded as liabilities at issuance.  These Embedded Derivatives are valued using the Black-Scholes Model (BSM Model) and are subject to revaluation at each reporting date. Any change in fair value between reporting periods will be reported on the statement of operations.

At January 31, 2012, the fair value of the Embedded Derivative Liability was approximately $741,000. For the three months ended January 31, 2012 and January 31, 2011, the Company reported expense of approximately $160,000 and income of approximately $52,000, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of the Embedded Derivative Liability.

Junior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes

We refer to all Junior Subordinated Convertible Promissory Notes as “Bridge Notes”.

The Bridge Notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a fixed exercise price. For every dollar invested in our Bridge Notes, each Investor received warrant coverage ranging from approximately 23% to 75%, subject to adjustments upon the occurrence of certain events as more particularly described below and in the form of Warrant. As of January 31, 2012, substantially all of the Bridge Warrants have an exercise price of $.15 per share. The Bridge Notes may be prepaid in whole or in part at the option of the Company without penalty at any time prior to the Maturity Date. The warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis under certain circumstances.

During the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company paid approximately $53,000 in principal on its Bridge Notes. In addition, the Company converted approximately $169,000 of principal on these Bridge Notes into 1,126,667 shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.15 per share.

October 2011 Note Financing

On October 28, 2011, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, which we refer to as the October 2011 Notes, with certain accredited investors, including Thomas A. Moore, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Mark J. Rosenblum, our Chief Financial Officer, (Mr. Rosenblum acquired a note in the principal amount of approximately $59,000 for an aggregate purchase price of $50,000) whereby the investors acquired approximately $2.3 million of our convertible promissory notes for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $2.0 million in a private placement, which we refer to as the October 2011 offering. The October 2011 Notes purchased in the October 2011 offering were paid for in cash or, with respect to Notes acquired by Mr. Moore, in exchange for the cancellation of $400,000 of outstanding indebtedness owed by us to Mr. Moore.

December 2011 Note Financing

On December 29, 2011, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, which we refer to as the December 2011 Notes, with certain accredited investors, whereby the investors acquired approximately $1.2 million of our convertible promissory notes for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.0 million in a private placement, which we refer to as the December 2011 offering. The December 2011 Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 15%. Each investor paid $0.85 for each $1.00 of principal amount of Notes purchased at the closing of the December 2011 offering. The Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock, at a per share conversion price equal to $0.15. Additionally, each investor received a warrant, which we refer to as the Warrants, to purchase such number of shares of our common stock equal to 50% of such number of shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Note at an exercise price of $0.15 per share.  

The Notes mature on January 9, 2013. We may redeem the Notes under certain circumstances. The Warrants are exercisable at any time on or before January 9, 2015. The Warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis under certain circumstances.

To the extent an investor does not elect to convert its Notes as described above, the principal amount of the Notes not so converted on or prior to the maturity date shall be payable in cash on the maturity date.

The Notes may be converted by the investors, at the option of such investor, in whole or in part.  However, except as otherwise provided in the Notes, only 85% of the initial principal amount of each Note is convertible prior to maturity.  The Notes and Warrants include a limitation on conversion or exercise, which provides that at no time will an investor be entitled to convert any portion of the Notes or exercise any of the Warrants, to the extent that after such conversion or exercise, such investor (together with its affiliates) would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of such date.

In connection with the December 2011 offering, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the investors.  Pursuant to such agreement, we agree with the investors to provide certain rights to register under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the shares of our common stock issuable upon any conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants, and agree to file a registration statement within 7 business days of the closing of the December 2011 offering to register the offering of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and the exercise of the Warrants.

At January 31, 2012, all $1.2 million in principal on the December 2011 Notes remained outstanding.

Rodman & Renshaw, LLC acted as the exclusive placement agent in connection with each of the May, October and December 2011 offerings and received compensation of cash placement fees equal to amounts ranging from 6% to 7% of the aggregate purchase price paid by investors and Warrants to purchase 3,328,625 shares of our common stock (approximately 4% of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of all the Notes), which warrants are exercisable at $0.15 per share and shall expire on dates ranging from May 12, 2014 to January 9, 2015.

Long-term Convertible Promissory Notes

On April 28, 2011, Advaxis, Inc. issued and sold to an accredited investor a convertible promissory note of the Company (“Long-term Convertible Promissory Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (together with the related ancillary documents, the “ A-Note ”) in return for the payment in cash from the Investor of $500,000.  The A-Note bears interest in the form of a one-time interest charge of 8% of the principal amount of the A-Note, payable with the A-Note’s aggregate principal amount outstanding on the maturity date, April 28, 2014.  The A-Note is convertible, in whole or in part, into shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value. at a per share conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the two lowest trade prices for the Common Stock in the 20 trading days previous to the effective date of each such conversion, subject to a conversion floor of $0.15.  The A-Note may be prepaid by the Company without penalty beginning twelve months after issue date of the A-Note.  To the extent the Investor does not elect to convert the A-Note as described above, the principal amount of the A-Note not so converted shall be payable in cash on the maturity date.

On April 28, 2011, the Company also issued and sold to the same accredited investor a convertible promissory note of the Company (“Long-term Convertible Promissory Notes”) in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000 (together with the related ancillary documents, the “ B-Note ” and together with the A-Note, the “ Company Notes ”). The B-Note bears interest in the form of a one-time interest charge of 8% of the principal amount of the B-Note, payable with the B-Note’s aggregate principal amount outstanding on the maturity date, April 28, 2014.  All or any portion of the aggregate principal and interest outstanding under the B-Note is convertible, at the option of the Investor from time to time (subject to the prior pre-payment of the such principal amount of the C-Note (as defined below) equal to the such principal amount of the B-Note subject to such conversion), into shares of Common Stock, at a per share conversion price equal to 80% of the average of the two lowest trade prices for the Common Stock in the 20 trading days previous to the effective date of each such conversion, subject to a conversion floor of $0.15.

Concurrently with the issuance of the B-Note, the Investor issued and delivered to the Company a secured and collateralized promissory note (together with the related ancillary documents, the “ C-Note ”), which served as the sole consideration paid to the Company for the Company’s issuance of the B-Note to the Investor.  The C-Note was issued in the aggregate principal amount of $800,000, bears interest in the form of a one-time interest charge of 8% of the principal amount of the C-Note, payable with the C-Note’s aggregate principal amount outstanding on the maturity date, April 28, 2014.  The C-Note is to be secured by $800,000 of an unspecified money market fund, or other assets, having a value of at least $800,000.

Immediately after the purchase by the Investor of the B-Note for the C-Note, the Investor delivered to the Company the sum of $80,000 in cash as a pre-payment on the principal amount outstanding under the C-Note.  In September 2011, the investor delivered another $80,000 under a separate C-Note.  While no further mandatory principal or interest payments are due on the C-Note until its maturity date, the C-Note contemplates (but does not require) further voluntary pre payments by the Investor on the C-Note to the Company.

Additionally, the Investor may purchase up to an additional $3.0 million in aggregate principal amount of notes in the form of the B-Note from the Company (each, an “ Additional B-Note s”).  The purchase price for each such Additional B-Note issued to the Investor will be paid by the issuance by the Investor to the Company of an additional note in the form of the C-Note (each, an “ Additional C-Note ”), with such Additional B-Notes and Additional C-Notes containing the same terms and provisions described above.

We refer to all convertible promissory notes, with a maturity date greater than one year collectively as “Long-term Convertible Notes”

During the three months ended January 31, 2012, the Company converted $540,000 of principal on these long-term convertible promissory notes into 3,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock.  Since the note contains a conversion feature that allows for a variable number of shares, these notes are valued at fair value at each reporting date. The Company recorded noncash income of approximately $76,000 due to changes in the fair value of the long-term convertible promissory notes for the three months ended January 31, 2012. As of January 31, 2012, the outstanding principal to be repaid on these notes was $172,800 and the fair value of these notes was $108,610.

NET LOSS PER SHARE

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share [Text Block]

3. NET LOSS PER SHARE

Basic net income or basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings per share give effect to dilutive options, warrants, convertible debt and other potential common stock outstanding during the period. Therefore, in the case of a net loss the impact of the potential common stock resulting from warrants, outstanding stock options and convertible debt are not included in the computation of diluted loss per share, as the effect would be anti-dilutive. In the case of net income the impact of the potential common stock resulting from these instruments that have intrinsic value are included in the diluted earnings per share. 

The table sets forth the number of potential shares of common stock that have been excluded from diluted net loss per share: 

	As of January 31 ,
	2012		2011
Warrants		140,976,812		97,165,981
Stock Options		45,057,424		26,517,424
Convertible Debt (using as-if converted method)		46,155,102		13,275,133
Total		232,189,338		136,958,538
