1. Business Organization, Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation

Provectus Biopharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, “Provectus” or the “Company”), is a clinical-stage biotechnology company that is developing a new class of drugs for oncology, hematology, and dermatology based on an entire, wholly-owned, family of small molecules called halogenated xanthenes:

●	Oncology: Intralesional (aka intratumoral) PV-10, a cancer immunotherapy, is undergoing clinical study for adult solid tumor cancers, like melanoma and gastrointestinal (“GI”) tumors (including hepatocellular carcinoma, metastatic colorectal cancer, metastatic neuroendocrine tumors, and metastatic uveal melanoma, among others). Orphan drug designation status has been granted to PV-10 by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) for the treatments of metastatic melanoma in 2006, hepatocellular carcinoma in 2011, and ocular melanoma (including uveal melanoma) in 2019.
	PV-10 is also undergoing preclinical study for pediatric solid tumor cancers (including neuroblastoma, Ewing sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma, and osteosarcoma). Orphan drug designation status has been granted to PV-10 by the FDA for neuroblastoma in 2018.
●	Hematology. PV-10 is also undergoing preclinical study for pediatric blood cancers (including leukemia).
●	Dermatology: Topical PH-10, an immuno-dermatology agent, is undergoing clinical study for inflammatory dermatoses, like psoriasis and atopic dermatitis.

To date, the Company has not generated any revenues from planned principal operations. The Company’s activities are subject to significant risks and uncertainties, including failing to successfully develop and license or commercialize the Company’s prescription drug candidates.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information pursuant to Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be reviewed in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 7, 2019. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019.
