In the report, the analyst notes:

"On September 24, the Company announced it received the fourth-year funding from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID), which is part of the $52 million, five-year contract for the production of HIV vaccines. For the fourth year, GNVC will reportedly receive up to $2.3 million, which will support the generation of HIV vaccine candidates with its alternate adenovirus serotype technology.

"The Company stated in its recent 10-Q filing that it will continue to look for government sponsored research collaborations and grants to help offset future anticipated losses from operations, as it expects to continue to rely on government funding for a significant portion of its revenues for the next few years and, to a lesser extent, interest income."
