State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

 

AmpliPhi Biosciences Corporation (the “Registrant”) is unable to file, without unreasonable effort or expense, its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. Additional time is needed due to the Registrant’s continuing review of the accounting treatment of the Registrant’s Series B Preferred Stock, certain promissory notes, and certain warrants issued in June, July and December 2013, which are classified as derivative instruments, as well as the valuation of intangible assets in connection with previous acquisitions and the classification of expenses in connection with financing activities.

 

PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

 

(1) Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification

 

Philip J. Young   (804)   205-5069
(Name)   (Area Code)   (Telephone Number)

 

(2) Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed ? If answer is no, identify report(s).          Yes þ   No ¨  

 

(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?          Yes þ   No ¨

 

If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.

 

The Registrant expects that the classification of the Registrant’s Series B Preferred Stock, promissory notes and warrants as derivative instruments would cause a materially greater net loss than the corresponding period for the last fiscal year.
