Note 1 – Organization, Operations and Basis of Presentation

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial position of Cell Source, Inc. (“CSI” or the “Company”), formerly known as Ticket To See, Inc. ("TTSI"), as of September 30, 2014 and the condensed consolidated results of its operations and cash flows for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year. It is recommended that these condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related disclosures of Cell Source Limited for the year ended December 31, 2013 which were included in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on July 1, 2014.

 

Organization and Operations

 

The Company is a Nevada corporation formed on June 6, 2012 under the name TTSI. Prior to the Share Exchange (as defined below), the Company did not have any significant assets or operations.

 

The Company is the parent company of Cell Source Limited, which was founded in Israel in 2011 in order to commercialize a suite of inventions relating to certain cancer treatments. Cell Source Limited’s target indications include treatment of lymphoma, multiple myeloma and BCLL (which is a common form of leukemia), facilitating transplantation acceptance (initially bone marrow transplantation and subsequently organ transplantation) and ultimately treating a variety of non-malignant diseases. Cell Source Limited’s lead prospective product is its patented Veto-Cell immune system management technology, which is an immune tolerance biotechnology that enables the selective blocking of immune responses. Cell Source Limited’s Veto-Cell immune system management technology is based on technologies patented, owned, and licensed to Cell Source Limited by Yeda Research and Development Company Limited, an Israeli corporation ("Yeda").

 

Share Exchange and Reorganization

 

On May 7, 2014, the Board of Directors and the majority stockholder of TTSI adopted resolutions approving an amendment (the "Amendment") of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares. Prior to the Amendment, the authorized shares of the Company consisted of 75,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value. The Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on May 20, 2014, which increased the number of shares of common stock that the Company is authorized to issue from 75,000,000 shares to 200,000,000 shares. The Company also authorized 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001, for designation in one or more series, with such designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional, or other special rights and qualifications, limitations, or restrictions thereof, as may, from time to time, be adopted by the Company's Board of Directors.

 

On June 23, 2014, the majority stockholder of TTSI adopted resolutions approving an amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation to change the name of the corporation from Ticket to See, Inc. to Cell Source, Inc. The Amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada on June 23, 2014, which changed the name of the corporation from Ticket to See, Inc. to Cell Source, Inc., effective June 26, 2014. In connection with the name change, the trading symbol of the Company’s common stock was changed from TTSE to CLCS.

 

On June 27, 2014, CSI issued five-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $0.75 per share to consultants in exchange for consulting services previously provided to the Company. The exercise price issuable upon the exercise of the warrants will be subject to adjustment in the event that the Company issues any shares of common stock at a price lower than the exercise price of the warrants. Pursuant to the provision, at the date of issuance, the Company recorded these warrants as derivative liabilities at their fair value of $730,200. Any changes in the fair value of the warrants will be recognized in the Company’s condensed statements of operations in the period in which such change occurs.

Note 1 – Organization, Operations and Basis of Presentation – Continued

 

Share Exchange and Reorganization – Continued

 

On June 30, 2014 (the “Closing Date”), CSI entered into and closed a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Share Exchange Agreement”) with Cell Source Limited and 100% of the shareholders of Cell Source Limited (the “CSL Shareholders”) whereby Cell Source Limited became the wholly-owned subsidiary of CSI (the "Share Exchange"), and whereby the CSL Shareholders, transferred to the Company all 18,245,923 outstanding shares of Cell Source Limited’s ordinary shares (“CSL Ordinary Shares”) in exchange for an aggregate of 18,245,923 newly issued shares of the Company's Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Company Common Stock” or the "Common Stock"). The aggregate of 18,245,923 shares of newly issued Company Common Stock represents 78.5% of the 23,245,923 outstanding shares of Company Common Stock following the Closing Date. In addition, outstanding five (5) year warrants to acquire 4,859,324 CSL Ordinary Shares at an exercise price of $0.75 per share (the "CSL Warrants") were exchanged for newly issued warrants to purchase shares of Company Common Stock at $0.75 per share (the “Company Warrants”), which Company Warrants contain substantially similar terms as the CSL Warrants. In addition, outstanding seven-year warrants to acquire 2,043,835 CSL Ordinary Shares at $0.001 per share were exchanged for warrants to purchase shares of Company Common Stock at $0.001 per share (the “Researcher Company Warrants”), which Researcher Company Warrants contain substantially similar terms as their warrants to acquire CSL Ordinary Shares. The aggregate of 6,903,159 Company Warrants and Researcher Company Warrants represents 77.5% of the outstanding warrants to purchase Common Stock of the Company following the Closing Date.

 

For accounting purposes, the Share Exchange will be treated as a recapitalization of the Company, the accounting acquirer, because the Company shareholders own the majority of CSI’s outstanding common stock following the transaction and exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the consolidated entity. CSI was a non-operating company prior to the share exchange. Pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the merger or acquisition of a private operating company into a non-operating public company with nominal net assets is considered a capital transaction in substance, rather than a business combination.

 

Note 2 – Going Concern

 

The Company has not generated any revenues, has recurring net losses, a working capital deficiency as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of approximately $2,221,000 and $697,000, respectively, and used cash in operations of approximately $2,935,000 and $359,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. In addition, as of September 30, 2014, the Company had an accumulated deficit of approximately $6,434,000. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the going concern basis, which assumes the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of operations. The ability of the Company to continue its operations is dependent on management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. The Company may need to incur additional liabilities with certain related parties to sustain the Company’s existence. If the Company were not to continue as a going concern, it would likely not be able to realize its assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating additional cash from equity or other sources to be used for operations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of assets and liabilities that might be necessary. Based on the Company’s current resources, the Company will not be able to continue to operate without additional immediate funding. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of its assets if necessary.

Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

For June 30, 2014 and forward, the Company’s financial statements are consolidated and include the accounts of CSI and Cell Source Limited. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

 

Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The most significant estimates, among other things, are used in accounting for allowances for deferred income taxes, contingencies, as well as the recording and presentation of its common stock and related warrant issuances. Estimates and assumptions are periodically reviewed and the effects of any material revisions are reflected in the financial statements in the period that they are determined to be necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

 

Research and Development Costs

 

Research and development costs are expensed as they are incurred and consist of salaries, benefits and other personnel related costs, fees paid to consultants, clinical trials and related clinical manufacturing costs, license and milestone fees, and facilities and overhead costs.

 

Loss Per Share

 

The Company computes basic net loss per share by dividing net loss per share available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and excludes the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted earnings per share, if presented, would include the dilution that would occur upon the exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive securities into common stock using the “treasury stock” and/or “if converted” methods as applicable. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, warrants to purchase 2,043,835 shares of common stock were included in the loss per share denominator because their exercise price was determined to be nominal.

 

The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive: 

 

   September 30, 
   2014   2013 
         
Warrants   6,459,324    - 
Convertible notes   -    2,297,487 
Total   6,459,324    2,297,487 

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on financial reporting dates and vesting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period the services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Because the Company’s common stock historically was not actively traded on a public market, the fair value of the Company’s restricted equity instruments are estimated based on the historical observations of cash prices paid for the Company's common stock.

Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

The fair value of an embedded conversion option that is convertible into a variable amount of shares and warrants that include price protection reset provision features are deemed to be “down-round protection” and, therefore, do not meet the scope exception for treatment as a derivative under ASC 815 “Derivatives and Hedging”, since “down-round protection” is not an input into the calculation of the fair value of the conversion option and warrants and cannot be considered “indexed to the Company’s own stock” which is a requirement for the scope exception as outlined under ASC 815.

 

The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the embedded conversion option and warrants at their fair values as of the inception date of the agreement and at fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. Any change in fair value is recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense for each reporting period at each balance sheet date. The Company reassesses the classification of its derivative instruments at each balance sheet date. If the classification changes as a result of events during the period, the contract is reclassified as of the date of the event that caused the reclassification.

 

The Black-Scholes option valuation model was used to estimate the fair value of the warrants and conversion options. The model includes subjective input assumptions that can materially affect the fair value estimates. The Company determined the fair value of the Binomial Lattice Model and the Black-Scholes Valuation Model to be materially the same. The expected volatility is estimated based on the most recent historical period of time equal to the weighted average life of the warrants or conversion options.

 

Conversion options are recorded as debt discount and are amortized as interest expense over the life of the underlying debt instrument.

 

Reclassifications

 

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the fiscal 2014 presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported net loss.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-10, “Development Stage Entities (Topic 915): Elimination of Certain Financial Reporting Requirements, Including an Amendment to Variable Interest Entities Guidance in Topic 810, Consolidation." This ASU removes the definition of a development stage entity from the ASC, thereby removing the financial reporting distinction between development stage entities and other reporting entities from GAAP. In addition, the ASU eliminates the requirements for development stage entities to (1) present inception-to-date information in the statements of operations, cash flows, and stockholders’ equity, (2) label the financial statements as those of a development stage entity, (3) disclose a description of the development stage activities in which the entity is engaged, and (4) disclose in the first year in which the entity is no longer a development stage entity that in prior years it had been in the development stage. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014, and interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to adopt this ASU effective with its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with SEC on July 1, 2014 and the adoption resulted in the removal of previously required development stage disclosures.

 

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period," ("ASU 2014-12"). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. The Company does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Significant Accounting Policies - Continued

 

Recent Accounting Standards - Continued

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15, which is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, extends the responsibility for performing the going-concern assessment to management and contains guidance on how to perform a going-concern assessment and when going-concern disclosures would be required under U.S. GAAP. The Company has elected to adopt ASU 2014-15 effective with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2014. The Company does not believe adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

The Company has implemented all new accounting standards that are in effect and may impact its financial statements and does not believe that there are any other new accounting standards that have been issued that might have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

 

Note 4 - Fair Value

 

The Company determines the estimated fair value of amounts presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements using available market information and appropriate methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The estimates presented in the financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current exchange between buyer and seller. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. These fair value estimates were based upon pertinent information available as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, plus December 31, 2013 and 2012, and, as of those dates, the carrying value of all amounts approximates fair value.

 

The Company has categorized its assets and liabilities at fair value based upon the following fair value hierarchy:

 

Level 1 - Inputs use quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 - Inputs use directly or indirectly observable inputs. These inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets as well as other inputs such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

 

Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable inputs, including inputs that are available in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the related asset or liability.

 

In instances where inputs used to measure fair value fall into different levels in the above fair value hierarchy, fair value measurements in their entirety are categorized based on the lowest level input that is significant to the valuation. The Company’s assessment of the significance of particular inputs to these fair measurements requires judgment and considers factors specific to each asset or liability.

 

Both observable and unobservable inputs may be used to determine the fair value of positions that are classified within the Level 3 category. As a result, the unrealized gains and losses for assets within the Level 3 category presented in the tables below may include changes in fair value that were attributable to both observable (e.g., changes in market interest rates) and unobservable (e.g., changes in historical company data) inputs.

Note 4 - Fair Value – Continued

 

The following table summarizes the valuation of the Company’s derivatives by the above fair value hierarchy levels as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets (Level 1), significant other observable inputs (Level 2), and significant unobservable inputs (Level 3):

 

       Quoted Prices         
       In Active   Significant     
       Markets for   Other   Significant 
       Identical   Observable   Unobservable 
       Liabilities   Inputs   Inputs 
   Total   (Level 1)   (Level 2)   (Level 3) 
                 
Warrant liability  $2,303,561   $-   $-   $2,303,561 
                     
Balance - September 30, 2014  $2,303,561   $-   $-   $2,303,561 
                     
Warrant liability  $231,200   $-   $-   $231,200 
                     
Balance - December 31, 2013  $231,200   $-   $-   $231,200 

 

Financial assets are considered Level 3 when their fair values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar techniques and at least one significant model assumption or input is unobservable. The Company’s Level 3 liabilities shown in the above table consist of warrants with “down-round protection”, as the Company is unable to determine if it will have sufficient authorized common stock to settle such arrangements. Earlier in 2013, the Company’s Level 3 liabilities consisted of conversion options with “down-round protection”.

 

Assumptions utilized in the valuation of Level 3 liabilities are described as follows:

 

   For the Three Months Ended   For the Nine Months Ended 
   September 30,   September 30, 
   2014   2013   2014   2013 
                 
Risk-free interest rate   1.43% - 1.68%   0.05% - 0.08%   1.43% - 1.73%   0.02% - 0.08%
Expected term (years)   4.08 - 4.84    0.00    4.08 - 5.00    0.00 - 0.50 
Expected volatility   164%   65%   164% - 168%   65% - 99%
Expected dividends   0.00%   0.00%   0.00%   0.00%

 

The expected term used is the contractual life of the instrument being valued. Since the Company’s stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficiently long period of time, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, a warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock was exercised. The warrant had an exercise date fair value of $144,439 which was credited to equity.

Note 4 - Fair Value – Continued

 

The following table provides a summary of the changes in fair value, including net transfers in and/or out, of all Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using unobservable inputs during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013:

 

   2014   2013 
         
Balance - January 1,   $231,200   $38,300 
           
Change in fair value of derivative liability   (12,400)   (64,500)
           
Value of warrants exercised   (144,439)   - 
           
Issuance of derivative liability   2,229,200    434,200 
           
Balance - September 30,   $2,303,561   $408,000 

 

The Company’s significant financial instruments such as cash, accounts payable and accrued expenses were deemed to approximate fair value due to their short term nature. 

 

Note 5 – Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

 

Accounts payable and accrued expenses consisted of the following:

 

   September 30,   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
   (unaudited)     
         
Accrued fees and expenses  $19,382   $103,705 
Accrued payroll   34,714    12,944 
Total  $54,096   $116,649 

 

Note 6 – Consulting Agreements – Related Party

 

On October 3, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive license agreement for Veto Cell technology and also an exclusive option agreement to negotiate an additional license for organ regeneration technology with Yeda Research and Development Company Limited (“Yeda”), a founder and shareholder of the Company. Yeda is the technology transfer and commercial arm of the Weizmann Institute of Science, for research conducted at the Weizmann Institute of Science for an invention comprising methods of bone marrow transplantation and cell therapy utilizing Veto-Cells. The evaluation period with respect to the option to license the organ regeneration technology originally expired on October 3, 2012 and had been previously extended to September 1, 2014. On August 15, 2014, the Company and Yeda executed an amendment to the exclusive option agreement to negotiate a license for organ regeneration technology which extends the evaluation period through December 31, 2015.

 

Under the terms of the agreement, Yeda granted the Company an exclusive worldwide license for the licensed information and the patents for the development, manufacture and sale of the products derived therefrom. In consideration for the grant of the license, the Company has paid and will pay Yeda: (1) $210,000 on October 3, 2011; (2) an annual Research budget commitment for 3 years in the amount of $800,000 for the period until October 3, 2014; (3) a non-refundable and non-creditable license fee of $50,000 per year during the terms of the agreement, commencing on the first day after the date of termination or expiry of the research period (which period has not expired and will be extended), (4) a royalty of 4% of net future sales by or on behalf of the Company or any sub licensees.

Note 6 – Consulting Agreements – Related Party - Continued

 

If the Company fails to achieve any of the milestones by the dates set forth in the agreement, Yeda is entitled to terminate the license upon written notice to the Company. To date, the Company has met all of the milestones and the next milestone in the agreement is October 3, 2016. Either Yeda or the Company may terminate the agreement and the license after the commitment of a material breach by the other party and in certain other instances as detailed in the agreement.

 

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a charge to operations of approximately $184,000 and $795,000, respectively, for this consulting arrangement. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recorded a charge to operations of approximately $200,000 and $603,000, respectively, for this consulting arrangement. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, approximately $134,000 and $442,000 has been accrued and is payable, respectively.

 

Note 7 – Stockholders’ Deficiency

 

Common Stock and Warrant Offerings

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company entered into an investment agreement with a group of investors. Pursuant to the agreement, the investors contributed to the Company aggregate net proceeds of $3,012,846 (gross proceeds of $3,067,996 less issuance costs of $55,150) in exchange for 4,090,661 units. Each unit was sold for $0.75 per unit and consisted of one share of common stock and an immediately vested five-year warrant to purchase one share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share. The warrants carried provisions that were deemed to be “down round” price protection features. As a result, during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company reclassified $1,499,000 for the fair value of the warrants to derivative liabilities and will be marked to market for each reporting period.

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

On July 7, 2014, the Board of Directors resolved to issue 100,000 shares of common stock to a service provider in connection with the June 30, 2014 completion of the Share Exchange. The Company recognized the $43,000 value of the award as stock-based compensation expense during the three months ended June 30, 2014, which was the service period. On July 29, 2014, the Company issued the 100,000 shares of common stock.

 

Stock Warrants

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company issued 233,333 shares of common stock to a warrant holder who elected to exercise a warrant to purchase 400,000 shares of common stock on a "cashless" basis under the terms of the warrant. The warrant had an exercise price of $0.75 per share and the intrinsic value of the warrant exercised was $420,000.

Note 8 – Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation 

 

Certain conditions may exist as of the date the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company, or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims, as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

 

If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable, but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.

 

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed, unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. There can be no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company has not accrued any amounts for contingencies.

 

Note 9 – Subsequent Events

 

The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would require adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements, other than as disclosed below.

 

Note Payable

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the Company issued a six-month note payable in the principal amount of $50,000 to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The note bears interest at a rate of 6% per annum payable at maturity.

Overview

 

Cell Source, Inc. is a Nevada corporation formed on June 6, 2012 under the name Ticket to See, Inc. ("TTSI").  On June 30, 2014, TTSI, Cell Source Limited and 100% of the shareholders of Cell Source Limited entered into and closed a Share Exchange Agreement pursuant to which Cell Source Limited became the wholly-owned subsidiary of TTSI (the "Share Exchange").  In connection with the Share Exchange, on June 26, 2014, TTSI changed its name to “Cell Source, Inc.”

 

Our wholly-owned subsidiary, Cell Source Limited was founded in 2011 as a privately held company located in Tel Aviv, Israel. Our business is based on over ten (10) years of prominent research at the Weizmann Institute, whose commercial arm is Yeda, from whom we license patented technology. Our exclusive, world-wide license provides us with access to certain discoveries, inventions and other intellectual property generated by Dr. Yair Reisner, Head of the Immunology Department at the Weizmann Institute, together with others. Dr. Reisner leads a team at the Weizmann Institute to continue the development of these technologies in order to facilitate the transition of those technologies from the laboratory to clinical trials. We also collaborate with Dr. Herman Einsele and Dr. Franco Aversa, leading figures in bone marrow transplantation for cancer treatment and research, both of whom plan to serve on our Scientific Advisory Board and will oversee our initial clinical trials which, when started, will focus on addressing cancer through cell therapy accompanied by bone marrow transplants.

 

Our lead prospective product is our patented Veto-Cell immune system management technology, which is an immune tolerance biotechnology that enables the selective blocking of immune responses. The Company’s target indications include lymphoma, multiple myeloma and BCLL, a form of leukemia. The treatment involves facilitating safe and successful transplantation engraftment (initially bone -marrow transplantation and subsequently organ transplantation) and ultimately effective treatment of a variety of non-malignant diseases.

Research and development expense was $313,924 and $217,202 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of $96,722, or 45%, primarily because the proceeds from our recent equity financing permitted us to expand our research and development efforts, including expenses associated with key patents entering the National Phase in a number of countries around the world.

 

Selling, General and Administrative

 

Selling, general and administrative expense was $401,374 and $106,367 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, an increase of $295,007, or 277%, primarily as a result of legal and professional fees associated with being a public company.

Liquidity and Going Concern

 

We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:

 

   September 30,   December 31, 
   2014   2013 
   (unaudited)     
         
Cash  $104,087   $28,878 
Working capital deficiency  $(2,221,409)  $(697,334)

 

We have not generated any revenues since our inception, we have recurring net losses, we have a working capital deficiency as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of approximately $2,221,000 and $697,000, respectively, and we have used cash in operations of approximately $2,935,000 and $359,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Based on our current resources, we will not be able to continue to operate without additional immediate funding.

 

Our ability to continue our operations is dependent on management’s plans, which include the raising of capital through debt and/or equity markets with some additional funding from other traditional financing sources, including term notes, until such time that funds provided by operations are sufficient to fund working capital requirements. We may need to incur additional liabilities with certain related parties to sustain our existence. If we were not to continue as a going concern, we would likely not be able to realize our assets at values comparable to the carrying value or the fair value estimates reflected in the balances set out in the preparation of our financial statements.

 

There can be no assurances that the Company will be successful in generating additional cash from equity or debt financings or other sources to be used for operations. Should the Company not be successful in obtaining the necessary financing to fund its operations, the Company would need to curtail certain or all operational activities and/or contemplate the sale of its assets if necessary.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:

 

Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

 

We experienced negative cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 in the amounts of $2,935,055 and $358,841, respectively. The net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $2,492,818, adjusted for net non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $30,840, and $473,077 of cash used to fund changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of payments to vendors due to improved cash availability. The net cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $1,476,024, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $492,657, partially offset by $624,526 of cash provided due to changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses, due to cash constraints during the period.

 

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

 

Net cash used in investing activities was $2,582 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, which was related to purchases of property and equipment.

 

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was $3,012,846 and $210,000, respectively. The net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was attributable to $3,012,846 of net proceeds from our IPO (gross proceeds of $3,067,996 less $55,150 of issuance costs). The net cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was attributable $210,000 of proceeds from the issuance of convertible notes.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to investors.

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There are no material changes from the critical accounting policies set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Current Report on Form 8-K which was filed with the SEC on July 1, 2014. Please refer to that document for disclosures regarding the critical accounting policies related to our business.

 

Recent Accounting Standards

 

In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-12, "Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide that a Performance Target Could be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period," ("ASU 2014-12"). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718, "Compensation - Stock Compensation" as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern” (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15, which is effective for annual reporting periods ending after December 15, 2016, extends the responsibility for performing the going-concern assessment to management and contains guidance on how to perform a going-concern assessment and when going-concern disclosures would be required under U.S. GAAP. We have elected to adopt ASU 2014-15 effective with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2014. We do not believe adoption of ASU 2014-15 will have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

See the Notes to the Condensed Financial Statements within our Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed with the SEC on July 1, 2014 for additional Recent Accounting Standards.

 

Significant Factors, Assumptions, and Methodologies Used in Estimating Fair Value of Common Stock

 

We performed valuations to estimate the fair value of our common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and during 2013. To determine the value of our common stock, we considered the following three possible valuation methods (1) the income approach, (2) the market approach and the (3) cost approach to estimate our enterprise value.

 

The income approach focuses on the income-producing capability of a business by estimating value based on the expectation of future cash flows that a company will generate – such as cash earnings, cost savings, tax deductions, and the proceeds from disposition. These cash flows are discounted to the present using a rate of return that incorporates the risk-free rate for the use of funds, the expected rate of inflation, and risks associated with the particular investment. The selected discount rate is generally based on rates of return available from alternative investments of similar type, quality, and risk.

 

The market approach valuation method measures the value of an asset or business through an analysis of recent sales or offerings of comparable investments or assets. When applied to the valuation of equity interests, consideration is given to the financial condition and operating performance of the entity being appraised relative to those of publicly traded entities operating in the same or similar lines of business, potentially subject to corresponding economic, environmental, and political factors and considered to be reasonable investment alternatives.

 

In addition to the income approach and market approach valuation methods, we also considered the cost approach as a valuation method. This approach measures the value of an asset by the cost to reconstruct or replace it with another of like utility.

 

We selected the Market Approach to estimate the fair value of the Common shares as the Company sold shares of Common Stock to third parties in 2014 and 2013.

 

  · During the year ended December 31, 2013, we entered into an agreement with a group of investors whereby, the investors purchased 735,327 units for cash proceeds of $551,497 at $0.75 per unit. Each unit consisted of 1 share of common stock and 1 five-year warrant, which entitles the holder to purchase 1 share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share.

 

  · During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we entered into an agreement with a group of investors whereby the investors purchased 4,090,661 units for cash proceeds of $3,067,996. Each unit was sold for $0.75 and consisted of 1 share of common stock and 1 five-year warrant, which entitles the holder to purchase 1 share of common stock at an exercise price of $0.75 per share.

 

Using an option pricing method and the relative fair values, we derived the implied equity value for the Common Stock based on the sale of the Units described above.

   Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014   Year Ended December 31, 2013 
   Common Stock   Fair   Allocation   Common Stock   Fair   Allocation 
   Equivalents   Value   %   Equivalents   Value   % 
                         
Common stock   4,090,661   $3,067,996    57%   735,327   $551,497    54%
Warrants   4,090,661   $2,320,054    43%   735,327   $470,800    46%
                               
    Relative fair value            Relative fair value         
    of the common stock   $0.43    of the common stock   $0.40 

 

There is inherent uncertainty in our forecasts and projections, and if we had made different assumptions and estimates than those described previously, the determined fair value of our common stock for either period could have been materially different.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

 

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, the Company is not required to provide the information required by this Item.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

 

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive and Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

 

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014, management, with the participation of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

 

Changes in Internal Controls

 

In preparing our financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2013, we identified control deficiencies in the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting that together constituted a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified were that we did not have adequate accounting systems and our accounting staff was inadequate both in terms of the number of personnel and their expertise in U.S. GAAP and SEC rules and regulations. As such, our controls over financial reporting were not designed or operating effectively.

 

During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, we took steps to remediate this material weakness. We have engaged the services of additional personnel with knowledge of U.S. GAAP and public company financial reporting expertise to enhance our financial management and reporting infrastructure, and further develop and document our accounting policies and financial reporting procedures.

 

Limitations of the Effectiveness of Control

 

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.
