13. U.S. Government Contracts and Grants

In June 2020, the Company was awarded $4.7 million from the U.S. Army Medical Research & Development Command (“USAMRDC”) to fund its Phase 1/2 clinical trial of T-COVID. The competitive award was granted by USAMRDC in collaboration with the Medical Technology Enterprise Consortium (“MTEC”), a 501(c)(3) biomedical technology consortium working in partnership with the Department of Defense (“DoD”). Under the contract, MTEC paid the Company a firm fixed fee based upon the achievement of certain milestones for conduct and completion of a Phase 1/2 study and research and development work on the replication-deficient adenovirus 5 (“RD-Ad5”) vector vaccine platform. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has recognized $0.5 million and $4.2 million of grant revenue under this contract, respectively.

In July 2016, the Company signed a five-year contract with Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (“BARDA”). The contract, as amended, has a total value of up to $136.8 million and is used to fund clinical development of NasoShield. Under the contract, BARDA paid the Company a fixed fee and reimburses certain costs for the research and development of an Ad5-vectored, protective antigen-based intranasal anthrax vaccine through cGMP manufacture and conduct of a Phase 1 clinical trial dose ranging assessment of safety and immunogenicity. The contract consisted of an initial base performance period providing approximately $30.9 million in funding for the period July 2016 through December 2021. BARDA had seven options to extend the contract to fund certain continued development and manufacturing activities for the anthrax vaccine, including Phase 2 clinical studies. Each option, if exercised by BARDA, would have provided additional funding ranging from approximately $1.1 million to $34.4 million for a three-year period beginning in 2021. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company has recognized $3.7 million and $3.1 million of grant revenue under the current BARDA contract, respectively. At December 31, 2021, BARDA had not elected to extend the contract.

The Company accounts for these contracts as a government grant which analogizes with International Accounting Standards 20 (“IAS 20”), Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government Assistance.
