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.
Cleveland BioLabs, Inc. (the “Registrant”) was not, without unreasonable effort or expense, able to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 by the applicable due date due to the Company not having resolved an issue pertaining to the accounting treatment of certain cost overrun amounts under certain of its contracts. The Registrant continues to discuss these matters and assess their materiality with the Registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm and intends to file the Form 10-K within the 15-day extension period provided by Rule 12b-25.
PART IV — OTHER INFORMATION

Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification |
| Christopher Zosh | (716) | 849-6810 | ||||
| (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 ☒ 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 ☒ 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. |
Due to the ongoing work of the Registrant in determining the effect of the error on its current and prior-period financial results described in Part III above, the Registrant is unable to make a reasonable estimate of any changes in results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 until such work is completed. However, the Company expects to report that operating results for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019 will reflect (i) a decrease in revenue due to a decrease in revenue from the Registrant’s Incuron service contract and from its Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program contract for preclinical studies, partially offset by an increase in revenues under its Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program contract due to the commencement of preparatory activities for a clinical study, (ii) a decrease in research and development expenses due to reductions of funds spent on entolimod for biodefense due to reduced preclinical development activity in connection with delays related to the biocomparability study and (iii) a reduction in net loss.
