NOTE 1 GENERAL AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Orgenesis Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on June 5, 2008. The Company is developing a technology that demonstrates the capacity to induce a shift in the developmental fate of cells from the liver and differentiating (converting) them into pancreatic beta cell-like insulin producing cells for patients with Type 1 Diabetes.
On October 11, 2011, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary in Israel, Orgenesis Ltd. (the Israeli Subsidiary), which is engaged in research and development. On February 2, 2012, the Israeli Subsidiary entered into an agreement with Tel Hashomer Medical Research, Infrastructure and Services Ltd (the Licensor). The Israeli Subsidiary was granted a worldwide, royalty bearing, exclusive license to certain information regarding a molecular and cellular approach directed at converting liver cells into functional insulin producing cells, as treatment for diabetes.
On July 31, 2013, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary in Maryland, Orgenesis Maryland Inc. (the U.S. Subsidiary), which is engaged in research and development.
On October 11, 2013, the Company incorporated a wholly owned subsidiary in Belgium, Orgenesis SPRL (the Belgian Subsidiary), which is engaged in development and manufacturing activities together with clinical development studies in Europe, and later on to be the Companys center for activities in Europe.
As discussed in Note 4, on March 2, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of MaSTherCell SA and Cell Therapy Holding SA (collectively MaSTherCell). MaSTherCell is a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) specializing in cell therapy development for advanced medicinal products. Cell therapy is the prevention or treatment of human disease by the administration of cells that have been selected, multiplied and pharmacologically treated or altered outside the body (ex vivo). The functional currency of MaSTherCell is the Euro (€ or Euro).
As used in this report and unless otherwise indicated, the term Company refers to Orgenesis Inc. and the Companys wholly-owned subsidiaries (Subsidiaries). Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.
Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Companys consolidated financial position as of August 31, 2015, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the three months and nine months ended August 31, 2015 and 2014, and the changes in capital deficiency and cash flows for the nine-months periods ended August 31, 2015 and 2014. The results for the three and nine months period ended August 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending November 30, 2015. These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2014.
Going Concern
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has an accumulated deficit of $19,798,998, as well as negative cash flows from operating activities. Presently, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet its plans in the twelve months following August 31, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives for operations, as the Company will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three and Nine Months Period Ended

NOTE 1 GENERAL AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION (cont.)
Management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with those initiatives.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to its common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict its future plans for developing its business and achieving commercial revenues. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations.
NOTE 2- SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies adopted are generally consistent with those of the previous financial year. Due to the acquisition of MaSTerCell new accounting policies had to be adopted as described below.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to fair value of assets and liabilities, goodwill and intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense, deferred income taxes and revenue recognition. Management bases its estimates on various assumptions, which it believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Business Combination
The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquired in-process backlog, customer relations, brand name and know how are recognized at fair value. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. Direct transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The Company includes the results of operations of the business that it has acquired in its consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition.
Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or market value with cost determined under the first-in-first-out (FIFO) cost method. The entire balance of inventory at August 31, 2015, consists of raw material.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
Annual rates of depreciation are presented in the table below:
Weighted Average | |
Useful Life (Years) | |
Good Manufacturing Practice ("GMP") unit installation | 10 |
Laboratory equipment | 5 |
Office equipment | 5 |
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets and their useful lives are as follows:
Weighted Average | Amortization recorded at | |
Useful Life (Years) | comprehensive loss line item | |
Backlog | 1.75 | Cost of revenue |
Customer Relationships | 7.75 | Amortization of intangible assets |
Brand | 9.75 | Amortization of intangible assets |
Know How | 11.75 | Amortization of intangible assets |
Intangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, which is determined by identifying the period over which the cash flows from the asset are expected to be generated.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is applied by performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. If, on the basis of qualitative factors, it is considered not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, further testing of goodwill for impairment would not be required. Otherwise, goodwill impairment is tested using a two-step approach.
The first step involves comparing the fair value of a companys reporting units to their carrying amount. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be greater than its carrying amount, there is no impairment. If the reporting units carrying amount is determined to be greater than the fair value, the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment, if any. The second step involves calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by deducting the fair value of all tangible and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, of the reporting unit from the fair value of the reporting unit as determined in step one. The implied fair value of the goodwill in this step is compared to the carrying value of goodwill. If the implied fair value of the goodwill is less than the carrying value of the goodwill, an impairment loss equivalent to the difference is recorded.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
The Company reviews its property and equipment, intangible assets subject to amortization and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset class may not be recoverable. Indicators of potential impairment include: an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset; an adverse change in the extent or manner in which the asset is used or is expected to be used, or in its physical condition; and current or forecasted operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of the asset. If indicators of impairment are present, the asset is tested for recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If the expected cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the asset is considered to be impaired and its carrying value is written down to fair value, based on the related estimated discounted cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue for services linked to cell process development and cell manufacturing services based on individual contracts in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, when the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been provided; the sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company determines that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists based on written contracts that define the terms of the arrangements. In addition, the Company determines that services have been delivered in accordance with the arrangement. The Company assesses whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. Service revenues are recognized as the services are provided.
The Company assesses cash collectability based on a number of factors, including past collection history with the client and the client's creditworthiness. If the Company determines that collectability is not reasonably assured, it defers revenue recognition until collectability becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of the cash. The Company's arrangements are generally non-cancellable, though clients typically have the right to terminate their agreement for cause if the Company materially fails to perform. Cell manufacturing services are generally distinct arrangements whereby the Company is paid for time and materials or for fixed monthly amounts. Revenue is recognized when efforts are expended or contractual terms have been met.
The Company also incurs revenue corresponding to invoicing to customers of some consumables which are incidental to the services provided as foreseen in the clinical services contracts. The company bills customers for reimbursable expenses and immediately recognizes these billings in revenue, as the revenue is deemed earned.
Fair value option
Topic 815 provides entities with an option to report certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value with subsequent changes in fair value reported in earnings. The election can be applied on an instrument by instrument basis. The company elected the fair value option to its convertible bonds. See also Note 4.
Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40), Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entitys Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. Continuation of a reporting entity as a going concern is presumed as the basis for preparing financial statements unless and until the entitys liquidation becomes imminent. Preparation of financial statements under this presumption is commonly referred to as the going concern basis of accounting. Prior to this, there was no guidance under U.S. GAAP about managements responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entitys ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this update provide that guidance.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
In doing so, the amendments reduce diversity in the timing and content of footnote disclosures. The amendments require management to assess an entitys ability to continue as a going concern by incorporating and expanding upon certain principles that are currently in U.S. auditing standards. Specifically, the amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation every reporting period including interim periods, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of managements plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of managements plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). For the period ended August 31, 2015, management evaluated the Companys ability to continue as a going concern and concluded that substantial doubt has not been alleviated about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. While the Company continues to explore further significant sources of financing, managements assessment was based on the uncertainty related to the amount and nature of such financing over the next twelve months.
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09) "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." ASU 2014-09 will supersede most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue upon the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price, and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entitys contracts with customers. The guidance is effective for the interim and annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016 (early adoption is not permitted). The guidance permits the use of either a retrospective or cumulative effect transition method On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of the new revenue standard by one year. The FASB also agreed to allow entities to choose to adopt the standard as of the original effective date.
In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-16 (ASU 2015-16) "Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement Period Adjustments". ASU 2015-16 require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments in ASU 2015-16 require that the acquirer record, in the same periods financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in ASU 2015-16 require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2015-16 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The amendments in ASU 2015-16 should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this update with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. For all other entities, the amendments in ASU 2015-16 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in ASU 2015-16 should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this update with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not yet been made available for issuance.

NOTE 2 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (cont.)
In July 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-11 (ASU 2015-11) "Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory". According to ASU 2015-11 an entity should measure inventory within the scope of this update at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method. The amendments in ASU 2015-11 more closely align the measurement of inventory in GAAP with the measurement of inventory in International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The Board has amended some of the other guidance in Topic 330 to more clearly articulate the requirements for the measurement and disclosure of inventory. However, the Board does not intend for those clarifications to result in any changes in practice. Other than the change in the subsequent measurement guidance from the lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value for inventory within the scope of ASU 2015-11, there are no other substantive changes to the guidance on measurement of inventory. For public business entities, the amendments in ASU 2015-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the amendments in ASU 2015-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The amendments in ASU 2015-11 should be applied prospectively with earlier application permitted as of the beginning of an interim or annual reporting period.
The Board decided that the only disclosures required at transition should be the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle. An entity should disclose that information in the first annual period of adoption and in the interim periods within the first annual period if there is a measurement-period adjustment during the first annual period in which the changes are effective.
NOTE 3 - FAIR VALUE PRESENTATION
The fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in the valuation of an asset or liability. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance are described below:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3 - Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

Convertible bonds | $ | 2,524,095 | $ | 2,524,095 |
* The embedded derivative is presented in the Company's balance sheets on a combined basis with the related host contract (the convertible loan).
The fair value of the embedded derivatives is determined by using a Monte Carlo simulation model. This model, in contrast to the closed form model, such as the Black-Scholes model, enables the Company to take into consideration the conversion price changes over the conversion period of the loan, and therefore is more appropriate in this case. The fair value of the convertible bonds described in Note 4 is determined by using a Binomial Model for the valuation of the embedded derivative and the fair value of the bond was calculated based on the effective rate on the valuation date (6%).
The Binomial Model used the forecast of the Company share price during the convertible bond's contractual term. Since the convertible bond is in Euro and the model is in USD, the company has used the Euro/USD forward rates for each period. In order to solve for the Embedded Derivative fair value the calculation was performed as follows:
- | Stage A - The model calculates a number of potential future share prices of the Company based on the volatility and risk-free interest rate assumptions. | |
- | Stage B - the embedded derivative value is calculated "backwards" in a way that takes into account the maximum value between holding the bonds until maturity or converting the bonds. |
The following table presents the assumptions that were used for the models as of August 31, 2015:
Embedded | Convertible | ||||||||

NOTE 4 ACQUISITION OF MASTHERCELL
Description of the Transaction
The Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") dated November 3, 2014 and addendum dated March 2, 2015 with MaSTherCell SA, Cell Therapy Holding SA (collectively MaSTherCell). According to the Share Exchange Agreement in exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of MaSTherCell, the Company issued to the shareholders of MaSTherCell an aggregate of 42,401,724 shares (the Consideration Shares) of common stock at a price of $0.58 per share for an aggregate price of $24,593,000 (the Consideration Share pricing). Out of the Consideration Shares, 8,173,483 shares may be allocated to the bondholders of MaSTherCell in case of conversion, see "MaSTherCell convertible bonds" below.
MaSTherCell SA and Cell Therapy Holding SA are companies incorporated in Belgium. Cell Therapy Holding SA currently owns 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of MaSTherCell SA. The companies were incorporated and launched in 2011. All MaSTherCell shares were purchased either through Cell Therapy Holding SA or directly through MaSTherCell.

NOTE 4 ACQUISITION OF MASTHERCELL (cont.)
MaSTherCell is a technology-driven, customer-oriented CDMO specializing in cell therapy development for advanced medicinal products. To perform its services, MaSTherCell has a production and laboratory facility (the GMP Unit) that received the good manufacturing practice (GMP) authorization for production of advanced medicinal therapeutic products (ATMP) by the Belgian Drug Agency (AFMPS).
As part of the agreement the, parties agreed on certain post closing conditions mainly post closing financing of $10 million and a valuation which meets threshold of $45 million. In the event that the company will not achieve those conditions within eight (8) months of the closing date, then MaSTherCell has an option to unwind the transaction (the Unwind Option) by delivering to the Company all of the Consideration Shares plus any amount that the company has advanced or invested in MaSTherCell, in dollars. The Consideration shares are requiring mezzanine classification and reflected on the balance sheet as redeemable common stock.
The MaSTherCell acquisition is accounted for as a business combination. The results of operations of MaSTherCell have been included in the Companys condensed consolidated statements of operations starting from March 2, 2015, the date on which the Company obtained effective control of MaSTherCell. The revenue and net loss from operations of MaSTherCell for the period from March 2, 2015, the acquisition date to August 31, 2015 was approximately $1.9 million and $1.3 million, respectively.
MaSTherCell Convertible Bonds
On September 18, 2014, MaSTherCell entered into convertible bond agreements with certain of MaSTherCells existing and new investors raising €1.6 million (the Convertible Bonds). The bonds bear interest at an annual rate of 3%. As part of the original terms, each bond can be converted into 0.36 class A common shares of MaSTherCell (the Conversion Shares). As part of the Share Exchange Agreement, the parties agreed that, in case of conversion of the Convertible Bonds upon Uplisting (listing of Orgenesis Inc shares on NASDAQ or any other national exchange in the United States of America which provides at least the same level of liquidity) within 14 months of the closing date, the bondholders will be entitled to convert to a total of 8,173,483 out of the Consideration Shares.
In case the bondholders elect not to convert the convertible bonds, or in case they are not allowed to convert in the absence of Uplisting within 14 months from the closing date and the convertible bonds remain a liability of MaSTherCell, then the Consideration shares will be reduced by the amount remaining outstanding to the bondholders. To that effect, the number of Consideration shares to be released back to the company, shall be determined by dividing the subscription amount of the outstanding convertible bonds plus interest owed thereunder (converted into USD according to the currency exchange rate applicable on the day of conversion) by the consideration and by applying the resulting quotient to actual total number of Consideration shares.
The company records the convertible bonds on its consolidated balance sheet at their fair value, see Note 3.
Fair Value of Consideration Transferred
The Company accounted for the acquisition of MaSTherCell as a business combination under the acquisition method of accounting. On the acquisition date, the fair value of the total consideration transferred to acquire MaSTherCell was as follows:
Total purchase consideration: | |||
Redeemable common stock | $ | 24,592,000 | |
Less Convertible loan * | 3,134,000 | ||
Total fair value of consideration transferred | $ | 21,458,000 |

(a) |
The allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in the recognition of other intangible assets which comprised of: Customer Relationships of $349,000, Know How of $17,037,000, Backlog of $250,000 and Brand Name of $1,341,000. These other intangible assets have a useful life between 1.75 and 11.75 years. The useful life of the other intangible assets for amortization purposes was determined considering the period of expected cash flows generated by the assets used to measure the fair value of the intangible assets adjusted as appropriate for the entity-specific factors, including legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that may limit the useful life of intangible assets. |
|
|
The fair value of the Know How was estimated using a relief of royalties approach. Under this method, the fair value of the Know How is equal to the royalty fee that the owner of the Know How could profit from if he was to license the Know How out. | |
|
|
The fair values of the Backlog was estimated using the income approach. An income and expense forecast was built based upon Backlog revenue estimates and the cost to perform each contract. On this basis, a free cash flow for the asset was derived, under several assumptions. | |
|
|
Customer Relationships and Brand Name were estimated using a discounted cash flow method with the application of the multi-period excess earnings method. Under this method, an intangible assets fair value is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to the subject intangible asset after deducting contributory asset charges. An income and expenses forecast was built based upon specific intangible asset revenue and expense estimates. | |
|
|
(b) |
The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired company and the Company and the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualifies for recognition as an intangible asset. |

NOTE 7 CONVERTIBLE LOAN AGREEMENTS
In June 2015, the Company entered into three convertible loan agreements with new investors for a total amount of $650,000 as follow:
Grant date | Maturity Date | August 31, 2015 | |||||||
Convertible loan (1) | June 9, 2015 | December 9, 2015 | $ | 50,000 | |||||
Convertible loan (2) | June 16, 2015 | December 16, 2015 | 250,000 | ||||||
Convertible loan (3) | June 24, 2015 | December 31, 2015 | 350,000 | ||||||
$ | 650,000 |
Interest is calculated at 6% annually and is payable, along with the principal on or before the maturity date.
The lenders have the right to convert all or part of the loan (principal and the accrued interest) into shares of the Companys common stock at a price per share equal to 0.75 of the Market Price (as defined below) (the "Conversion Price"), provided that the Conversion Price will not be less than $0.40 (the Floor Price). Market Price is defined as the average closing trading price for the Companys common shares on the OTCQB for the five trading days prior to the lenders notice of conversion being delivered to the Company.
The loan amount shall automatically convert into units that include one common share and one warrant exercisable into one additional common share, upon the Qualified Offering (as defined below) at the same terms as the Qualified Offering. A Qualified Offering is defined as an offering of securities of the Company with gross proceeds equal to or greater than $6 million and with a price per share of the common stock underlying such Qualified Offering equal to or greater than the Floor Price.
In the event the Company issues any common shares or securities convertible into common shares at a price less than the Floor Price (the "New Issuance Price"), the Floor Price shall be reduced for any unpaid or unconverted loan amount to the New Issuance Price.
The conversion right is detachable from the loan and classified as a derivative due to down-round protection (full ratchet and anti-dilution provisions). Therefore, the Company allocated the conversion derivative from the loan based on its fair value. The allocation of conversion right represents a discount to the loan and will be accreted until the Maturity date of the loans.
The table below presents the fair value as of the Closing Date:

(the Israeli Subsidiary), Orgenesis SPRL (the Belgian Subsidiary), Orgenesis Maryland, Inc. (the U.S. Subsidiary) and MaSTherCell SA (MaSTherCell). Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.
Corporate Overview
We are developing a technology that we are bringing to the clinical stage that demonstrates the capacity to induce a shift in the developmental fate of cells from the liver and differentiating (converting) them into pancreatic beta cell-like insulin producing cells for patients with Type 1 Diabetes. In addition, through our acquisition of MaSTherCell, we are building a fully-integrated biopharmaceutical company focused not only on developing our transdifferentiation technologies for Type 1 Diabetes, but also vertically integrating manufacturing that can optimize our abilities to scale-up our technologies for clinical trials and eventual commercialization. Furthermore, we also consider our manufacturing abilities to serve as a risk mitigant for our business since MaSTherCell is building its manufacturing business to serve other cell therapy markets in such areas as cell-based cancer immunotherapies.
The Company was incorporated in the state of Nevada on June 5, 2008 under the name Business Outsourcing Services, Inc. Effective August 31, 2011, the Company completed a merger with Orgenesis Inc., a Nevada corporation which was incorporated solely to effect a change in its name. As a result, the Company changed its name from Business Outsourcing Services, Inc. to Orgenesis Inc.
On August 5, 2011, the Company entered into a letter of intent with Prof. Sarah Ferber and Ms. Vered Caplan according to which, inter alia, Prof. Ferber has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause THM to license to the Company all of the assets associated with Methods Of Inducing Regulated Pancreatic Hormone Production and Methods of Inducing Regulated Pancreatic Hormone Production In Non-Pancreatic Islet Tissues.
Effective August 31, 2011, the Company implemented a 35 to 1 forward stock split of its authorized and issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, its authorized capital has increased from 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 to 1,750,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001. On February 27, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of Correction with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, correcting the par value of 1,750,000,000 shares of common stock that was incorrectly stated as $0.001 to 1,750,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001. Unless otherwise noted, all references in this quarterly report to number of shares, price per share or weighted average number of shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.
On October 11, 2011, the Company incorporated Orgenesis Ltd. as its wholly-owned Israeli Subsidiary under the laws of Israel. On February 2, 2012, Orgenesis Ltd. signed and closed a definitive agreement to license patents and knowhow related to the development of autologous insulin producing (AIP) cells. Based on the licensed knowhow and patents, its intention is to develop to the clinical stage a new technology for regeneration of functional insulin-producing cells, thus enabling normal glucose regulated insulin secretion, via cell therapy. By using therapeutic agent (i.e., PDX-1, and additional pancreatic transcription factors in an adenovirus-vector) that efficiently converts a sub-population of liver cells into pancreatic islets phenotype and function, this approach allows the diabetic patient to be the donor of his own therapeutic tissue. The Company believes that its major competitive advantage is in its cell transformation technology.
29
The development of AIP cells is based on the licensed patents and knowhow of THM and Prof. Ferber. This technology was licensed based on the published work of Prof. Ferber who has developed this technology, as a researcher in THM, and has established a proof of concept that demonstrates the capacity to induce a shift in the developmental fate of cells from the liver and differentiating (converting) them into pancreatic beta cell-like insulin-producing cells. Furthermore, those cells were found to be resistant to the autoimmune attack and to produce insulin in a glucose-sensitive manner.
We intend to grow our business by further developing our technology to a clinical stage. We intend to dedicate most of our capital to research and development with no expectation of revenue from product sales in the foreseeable future. We intend to devote significant resources to process development and manufacturing in order to optimize the safety and efficacy of our future product candidates, as well as our cost of goods and time to market. Our goal is to carefully manage our fixed cost structure, maximize optionality, and drive long-term cost of goods as low as possible. We believe that operating our own manufacturing facility will provide the company with enhanced control of material supply for both clinical trials and the commercial market, will enable the more rapid implementation of process changes, and will allow for better long-term margins.

As of the date of this report, the Company has not finalized the terms and revised maturity date of this loan, although it believes it will be successful in extending the agreement upon mutually agreeable terms as soon as practicable.
30
Share Exchange Agreement with MaSTherCell SA
The Company entered into a share exchange agreement (the "Share Exchange Agreement") dated November 3, 2014 and addendum dated March 2, 2015 with MaSTherCell SA, Cell Therapy Holding SA (collectively the "Target" or MaSTherCell) and each of the shareholders of the Target, which provides for the acquisition by the Company of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target from the shareholders of the Target in exchange for the issuance of $24,593,000 in value of shares of common stock in the capital of the Company (the Acquisition).
MaSTherCell SA and Cell Therapy Holding SA are companies limited by shares incorporated in Belgium. Cell Therapy Holding SA functions as a holding company and prior to the acquisition, owned 50% of the issued and outstanding shares of MaSTherCell SA. The companies were incorporated and launched in 2011. In exchange for all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Target, the Company issued to the shareholders of the Target an aggregate of 42,401,724 shares of its common stock (the Consideration Shares) at a deemed price of $0.58 per share for an aggregate deemed price of $24,593,000. The Share Exchange Agreement provided that the price of the Consideration Shares was to be calculated based on the average of all closing trading prices for the Companys common stock as traded on the OTC stock market for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the closing date, provided that the Consideration Shares were to be priced at no more than $0.80 per share and no less than $0.50 per share. The Consideration Shares were issued to 11 non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933) in an offshore transaction relying on Regulation S and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933.
Escrow Agreement
As of February 27, 2015, the Company and the shareholders and bondholders of the Target and Securities Transfer Corporation, the Companys transfer agent, entered into an escrow agreement (the Escrow Agreement) pursuant to which the shareholders of the Target agreed not to sell any of their Consideration Shares for a period of one year after the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, and thereafter 1/12th of each Target shareholder's Consideration Shares will be released and eligible for sale during each subsequent calendar month. The Share Exchange Agreement and the Escrow Agreement provide that in the event that the Company has not achieved a post-closing financing and a valuation which meets the agreed threshold within eight months of the closing date of the Share Exchange Agreement, then the shareholders of the Target may, by notice to the Company, unwind the transaction in exchange for return of all of the Consideration Shares plus any amount that the Company has advanced or invested in the Target.
The Share Exchange Agreement and the Escrow Agreement further provide that in case of conversion of MaSTherCell SAs current outstanding convertible bonds (the Convertible Bonds) (such conversion may occur at the option of the bondholders of MaSTherCell SA if the Company achieves a listing of its shares on a U.S. stock exchange within 14 months of the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement), the shareholders of the Target (other than the former bondholders of MaSTherCell SA) must (i) exchange the shares of MaSTherCell SA to be issued upon conversion of the Convertible Bonds (the Conversion Shares) for a number of Consideration Shares held by the shareholders of the Target; and (ii) transfer the Conversion Shares to the Company for no additional consideration. The Share Exchange Agreement and the Escrow Agreement further provide that in case the bondholders of MaSTherCell SA elect not to convert the Convertible Bonds, or in case the bondholders of MaSTherCell SA are not allowed to convert the Convertible Bonds in the absence of listing of the Companys shares on a U.S. stock exchange within 14 months of the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement and the Convertible Bonds remain a liability of MaSTherCell SA, then the number of the Consideration Shares will be reduced by the amount that was due at the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement to those bondholders who do not convert their Convertible Bonds. The number of Consideration Shares to be cancelled for this purpose will be determined by dividing the subscription amount of the outstanding Convertible Bonds plus interest owed thereunder by $24,593,000 and by applying the resulting quotient to the actual total number of Consideration Shares. In such a case, each shareholder of the Target, other than the bondholders of MaSTherCell SA, agreed to give up for cancellation a part of its Consideration Shares that will be proportionate to such shareholders share in the total number of Consideration Shares issued at the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement.
31
Director Appointments
Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement and effective as the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement on March 2, 2015, Chris Buyse and Hugues Bultot, two nominees of the shareholders of the Target, were appointed as directors of the Company. Messrs. Buyse and Bultot have no family relationships with each other or any other officer or director of the Company. Upon the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, Mr. Bultot received 5,050,454 of the Consideration Shares in exchange for the shares of the Target.
MaSTherCell's Business
MaSTherCell is a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) specialized in cell therapy development for advanced medicinal products. Cell therapy is the prevention or treatment of human disease by the administration of cells that have been selected, multiplied and pharmacologically treated or altered outside the body (ex vivo). In the last decade, cell therapy medicinal products have gained significant importance, particularly in the fields of ex-vivo gene therapy, immunotherapy and regenerative medicine. While academic and industrial research has led scientific development in the sector, industrialization and manufacturing expertise remains insufficient. MaSTherCell aims to fill this need by providing two types of services to its customers: (i) process and assay development services and (ii) Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) contract manufacturing services. These services offer a double advantage to MaSTherCell's customers. First, customers can continue focusing their financial and human resources on their product/therapy, while relying on a trusted partner for their process development/production. Second, it allows customers to profit from MaSTherCell's expertise in cell therapy manufacturing and all related aspects.
MaSTherCell's target customers are primarily cell therapy companies that are in pre- or early-stage clinical trials. This stems from the finding that these companies' processes have to be set up right from start in order for them to obtain approved products that have the simplest possible process and with the lowest possible cost of goods sold (COGS). Therefore, MaSTherCell's strategy is to build long term relationships with its customers in order to help them bring highly potent cell therapy products faster to the market and in cost-effective ways.
To provide these services MaSTherCell relies on a team of dedicated experts both from academic and industry backgrounds. It operates through state-of-the-art facilities located just 40 minutes from Brussels, which have received the final cGMP manufacturing authorization from the Belgian Drug Agency (AFMPS) in September 2013.
Competition
Insulin therapy is used for Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (IDDM) patients who are not controlled with oral medications, but this therapy has well-known and well-characterized disadvantages. Weight gain is a common side effect of insulin therapy, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Injection of insulin causes pain and inconvenience for patients. Patient compliance and inconvenience of self-administering multiple daily insulin injections is also considered a disadvantage of this therapy. The most serious adverse effect of insulin therapy is hypoglycemia. The global diabetes market comprising the insulin, insulin analogues and other anti-diabetic drugs has been evolving rapidly. Todays overall diabetes market is dominated by a handful of participants such as Novo Nordisk A/S, Eli Lilly and Company, Sanofi-Aventis, Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited, Pfizer Inc., Merck KgaA, and Bayer AG.
From a manufacturing standpoint, MaSTherCell competes with a number of companies both directly and indirectly. Key competitors include the following CDMOs: Lonza Group Ltd, Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC (PCT), Pharmacell BV, WuxiAppTec (WuXi PharmaTech (Cayman) Inc.), Cognate Bioservices Inc., Apceth GmbH & Co. KG, Eufets GmbH, Fraunhofer Gesellschaft, Cellforcure SASU, Cell Therapy Catapult Limited and Molmed S.p.A. Our services differ from these companies in two major aspects:
| Quality and Expertise of Our Services: Clients identify the excellence of our facility, quality system, and people as a major differentiating point compared to competitors; and |
32
| Flexible and Tailored Approach: Our philosophy is to build a true partnership with our clients and adapt ourselves to the clients needs, which entails no off-the-shelf process nor in-house technology platform, but a dedicated person in plant (of client), joint steering committees on each project and dedicated project managers. |
In addition, MaSTherCell is the only CDMO located in Belgium which logistically offers an ideal location given the high concentration of companies active in cell therapy (potential clients and companies with complementary knowhow, products and services).
Employees
We have approximately 37 full-time employees, of which 33 are dedicated to our manufacturing facilities at MaSTherCell.
Results of Operations
Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended August 31, 2015 to the Three and Nine Months Ended August 31, 2014
Revenue
The Company recognizes revenue through MaSTherCell which bills for services linked to cell process development and cell manufacturing services based on individual contracts in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. Cell manufacturing services are generally distinct arrangements whereby the Company is paid for time and materials or for fixed monthly amounts.
The Company also incurs revenue corresponding to invoicing to customers of some consumables which are incidental to the services provided as foreseen in the clinical services contracts. On a monthly basis, the Company bills customers for reimbursable expenses and immediately recognizes these billings in revenue, as the revenue is deemed earned.
For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, our total revenues were $936,215 and $1,756,635, as compared to zero for the same period last year, respectively. The increase in revenue is due to our acquisition of MaSTherCell and the revenues they recognize from services and sales of consumables.
Expenses
The Companys expenses for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015 are summarized as follows in comparison to its expenses for three and nine months ended August 31, 2014:

The decrease in salaries and related expenses and in stock based compensation in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, compared to the same period last year is mainly due to lower compensation expense for certain executives that are no longer employed by the Company. The increase in grant incomes is due to work performed under grants approved from DGO6 in the Belgian Subsidiary, TEDCO in the U.S. Subsidiary and BIRD for the Israeli Subsidiary for the Companys research and development activities. The lab expenses in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015 were due to developing our technology to a clinical stage and expanding research activities.

The increase in salaries and related expenses for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, compared to the same period last year is due to the increase in the number of employees following the acquisition of MaSTherCell. In addition, there was an increase in legal and accounting fees due to the various material transactions that occurred, mainly the acquisition of MaSTherCell. The rent and related expenses as of the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015 arise from the offices of MaSTherCell. The decrease in professional fees for the nine months ended August 31, 2015, compared to the same period last year is due to a reduction in the reliance on outside professionals as compared to the same period last year.

The increase in financial income in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, compared to the same period last year is mainly attributable to decrease in fair value of warrants, embedded derivative and convertible bonds, which is a non-cash metric that is based on the Companys share price as of the measurement date and reflects the issuance of beneficial warrants that were granted during 2014. Due to a decrease in the Companys shares price during the period, there was a resultant income impact. The funding fees to Kodiak in the nine months ended August 31, 2014, represent the fair value of 250,000 shares of common stock issued to Kodiak as part of a stock purchase agreement with Kodiak.

The increase in current assets is mainly due to an increase in accounts receivable, inventory and prepaid expenses and other receivables due to the acquisition of MaSTherCell. This was offset by a decrease in the Companys cash that was used during the nine-month period ending August 31, 2015 to fund research and development expenses.

Our cash and cash equivalents balance decreased to $0.26 million at August 31, 2015 from $1.3 million at November 30, 2014. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents during the nine months ended August 31, 2015 was primarily due to cash flows used in operating activities in an amount of $2.05 million and cash used in investing activities of $0.2 million. The decrease in cash and cash equivalents was largely offset by net cash provided by financing activities in the amount of $1.36 million which is primarily due to proceeds from loans payable.
Net cash used in operations of approximately $2.05 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2015 increased mainly due to increases in accounts receivable of $341 thousand, prepaid expenses of $785 thousand and change in fair value of convertible bonds of $705 thousand, but was offset by an increases in accounts payable of $660 thousand, accrued expenses of $294 thousand, deferred income of $875 thousand and payments on grant receivables of $431 thousand.
Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine months ended August 31, 2015 was $199 thousand and consisted primarily net of cash that was acquired as part of MaSTherCell acquisition in the amount of $305 thousand which was offset by purchase of property and equipment for the manufacturing activities of MaSTherCell in amount of $498 thousand.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the nine months ended August 31, 2015 was $1,360 thousand and consisted primarily of loans payable totaling $1,467 thousand and a short term line of credit of $538 thousand, but was offset by repayments of short and long term debt of $641 thousand.
Going Concern
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has net losses for the period from inception (June 5, 2008) through August 31, 2015 of $19,681,658, as well as negative cash flows from operating activities. Company's management estimate that the cash and cash equivalents balance as of August 31, 2015 of $264,330 will allow the Company to continue its operations and activities for a period of less than one quarter, without additional funding. Presently, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet its plans in the twelve months following August 31, 2015. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives for operations, as the Company will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets.
Management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with those initiatives.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. If the Company raises additional funds through the issuance of equity, the percentage ownership of current shareholders could be reduced, and such securities might have rights, preferences or privileges senior to its common stock. Additional financing may not be available upon acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate funds are not available or are not available on acceptable terms, the Company may not be able to take advantage of prospective business endeavors or opportunities, which could significantly and materially restrict its future plans for developing its business and achieving commercial revenues. If the Company is unable to obtain the necessary capital, the Company may have to cease operations.
Cash Requirements
The Companys plan of operation over the next 12 months is to:
| initiate regulatory activities in Europe and the United States; | |
| locate suitable facility on the U.S. for tech transfer and manufacturing scale-up; |
36
|
|
purchase equipment needed for its cell production process; |
|
hire key personnel including, but not limited to, a chief medical officer, chief science officer and chief operating officer; | |
|
|
collaborate with clinical centers and regulators to carry out clinical studies and clinical safety testing; |
|
|
identify optional technologies for scale up of the cells production process; and |
|
|
initialize efforts to validate the manufacturing process (in certified labs). |
The Company estimates its operating expenses for the next 12 months as of August 31, 2015 to be as follows:
GMP process development and validation | $ | 2,200,000 | |
Manufacturing and scale-up | 4,500,000 | ||
General and administrative | 1,300,000 | ||
Total | $ | 8,000,000 |
While the above cash requirements do contemplate the Companys expected cash needs for the scale-up of manufacturing for the Companys products in the U.S. Market in conjunction with MaSTherCell, they do not contemplate the potential cash needs of MaSTherCells current operations in their existing markets.
Future Financing
The Company will require additional funds to implement the Companys growth strategy for its business. In addition, while the Company has received various grants that have enabled the company to fund its clinical developments, these funds are largely restricted for use for other corporate operational and working capital purposes. Therefore, the Company will need to raise additional capital to both supplement the Companys clinical developments that are not covered by any grant funding and to cover the Companys operational expenses. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of the Companys shares. There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to the company when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If the Company is not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis should it be required, or generate significant material revenues from operations, the Company will not be able to meet its other obligations as they become due and will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease the Companys operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The Company has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on the Companys financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Significant Accounting Policies
Business Combination
We allocated the purchase price of business we acquired to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquired in-process backlog, customer relations, brand name and know how are recognized at fair value. The purchase price allocation process require from us to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. Direct transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. We included the results of operations of the business that we acquired in the consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition.
37
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets are recorded at acquisition cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method over their estimated period of useful life, which is determined by identifying the period over which the cash flows are expected to be generated.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of acquired businesses over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is tested for impairment at least annually at the reporting unit level or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The goodwill impairment test is applied by performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit. If, on the basis of qualitative factors, it is considered not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, further testing of goodwill for impairment would not be required. Otherwise, goodwill impairment is tested using a two-step approach.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
We are reviewing the property and equipment, intangible assets subject to amortization and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset class may not be recoverable. Indicators of potential impairment include: an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset; an adverse change in the extent or manner in which the asset is used or is expected to be used, or in its physical condition; and current or forecasted operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of the asset. If indicators of impairment are present, the asset is tested for recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If the expected cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the asset is considered to be impaired and its carrying value is written down to fair value, based on the related estimated discounted cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize the revenue for services linked to cell process development and cell manufacturing services based on individual contracts in accordance with ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, when the following criteria have been met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; delivery has occurred or services have been provided; the sellers price to the buyer is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We determine that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists based on written contracts that define the terms of the arrangements. In addition, we determine that services have been delivered in accordance with the arrangement. We assess whether the fee is fixed or determinable based on the payment terms associated with the transaction and whether the sales price is subject to refund or adjustment. Service revenues are recognized as the services are provided.
We are assesseing cash collectability based on a number of factors, including past collection history with the client and the client's creditworthiness. If we determine that collectability is not reasonably assured, we defer revenue recognition until collectability becomes reasonably assured, which is generally upon receipt of the cash. Our arrangements are generally non-cancellable, though clients typically have the right to terminate their agreement for cause if we materially fails to perform. Cell manufacturing services are generally distinct arrangements whereby we are paid for time and materials or for fixed monthly amounts. Revenue is recognized when efforts are expended or contractual terms have been met.
We also incurs revenue corresponding to invoicing to customers of some consumables which are incidental to the services provided as foreseen in the clinical services contracts. We bills customers for reimbursable expenses and immediately recognize these billings in revenue, as the revenue is deemed earned.

A comprehensive discussion of the Companys significant accounting policies is included in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2014 filed with the SEC on February 19, 2015.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Currency Exchange Risk
Due to our acquisition of MaSTherCell, currency exchange rates impact our financial performance. The majority of our balance sheet exposure relates to Euro-denominated assets and liabilities as a result of our acquisition of MaSTherCell. Further, our total revenues are in Euros and as such our results of operations are directly impacted by Euro-denominated cash flows. We will continue to monitor exposure to currency fluctuations. Instruments that may be used to protect us against future risks may include foreign currency forward and swap contracts. These instruments may be used to selectively manage risks, but there can be no assurance that we will be fully protected against material foreign currency fluctuations. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to market risks resulting from changes in interest rates due to short term-loan which bears interest of libor rate. We do not use derivative financial instruments to limit exposure to interest rate risk.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Companys reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including the Companys interim president and chief executive officer (who is the Companys principal executive officer) and the Companys chief financial officer, treasurer, and secretary (who is the Companys principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the Companys disclosure controls and procedures, the Companys management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and the Companys management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The ineffectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures was due to material weaknesses identified in the Companys internal control over financial reporting, described below.
Managements Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over the Companys financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our management, with the participation of the Companys principal executive officer and principal financial officer has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control - Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (2013). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. This assessment included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, the Companys management concluded its internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of August 31, 2015. The ineffectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small staff:
39
(i) |
inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and |
(ii) |
ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. |
Our management feels the weaknesses identified above have not had any material affect on our financial results. However, we are currently reviewing our disclosure controls and procedures related to these material weaknesses and expect to implement changes in the next fiscal year, including identifying specific areas within our governance, accounting and financial reporting processes to add adequate resources to potentially mitigate these material weaknesses.
Our management will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures and our internal controls over financial reporting on an ongoing basis and is committed to taking further action and implementing additional enhancements or improvements, as necessary and as funds allow.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended August 31, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.
Managements Remediation Plan
We plan to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes in the next fiscal year as resources allow:
(i) |
appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management and implement modifications to our financial controls to address such inadequacies; and |
(ii) |
adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. |
The remediation efforts set out in (i) is largely dependent upon our company securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Management believes that despite our material weaknesses set forth above, our condensed financial statements for the quarter ended August 31, 2015 are fairly stated, in all material respects, in accordance with US GAAP.
