NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 and 2020
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
a. | General |
Orgenesis Inc., a Nevada corporation, is a global biotech company working to unlock the potential of cell and gene therapies (“CGTs”) in an affordable and accessible format.
CGTs can be centered on autologous (using the patient’s own cells) or allogenic (using master banked donor cells) and are part of a class of medicines referred to as advanced therapy medicinal products (“ATMP”). The Company mostly focusses on autologous therapies, with processes and systems that are developed for each therapy using a closed and automated processing system approach that is validated for compliant production near the patient at their point of care for treatment of the patient. This approach has the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional commercial manufacturing methods that do not translate well to commercial production of advanced therapies due to their cost prohibitive nature and complex logistics to deliver the treatments to patients (ultimately limiting the number of patients that can have access to, or can afford, these therapies).
To achieve these goals, the Company has developed a Point of Care Platform comprised of three enabling components: a pipeline of licensed POCare Therapies that are designed to be processed and produced in closed, automated POCare Technology systems and a collaborative POCare Network. Via a combination of science, technology, engineering, and networking, the Company is working to provide a more efficient and scalable pathway for advanced therapies to reach patients more rapidly at lowered costs. The Company also draws on extensive medical expertise to identify promising new autologous therapies to leverage within the POCare Platform either via ownership or licensing.
The POCare Network brings together patients, doctors, industry partners, research institutes and hospitals worldwide with a goal of achieving harmonized, regulated clinical development and production of the therapies.
Over time, the Company has worked to develop and validate POCare Technologies that can be combined within mobile production units for advanced therapies. The Company has made significant investments in the development of several types of Orgenesis Mobile Processing Units and Labs (“OMPULs”) with the expectation of use and/or distribution through our POCare Network of partners, collaborators, and joint ventures. As of the date of this report, the OMPULs are still in the development stage.
OMPULs are designed for the purpose of validation, development, performance of clinical trials, manufacturing and/or processing of potential or approved cell and gene therapy products in a safe, reliable, and cost-effective manner at the point of care, as well as the manufacturing of such CGTs in a consistent and standardized manner in all locations. The design delivers a potential industrial solution for the Company to deliver CGTs to practically any clinical institution at the point of care.
Until December 31, 2019, the Company operated the POCare Platform as one of two business separate business segments.
Historically, the second separate business segment was operated as a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (“CDMO”) platform, providing contract manufacturing and development services for biopharmaceutical companies (the “CDMO Business”). The CDMO platform was historically operated mainly through majority-owned Masthercell Global (which consisted of the following two subsidiaries: MaSTherCell S.A. in Belgium (“MaSTherCell”), and Masthercell U.S., LLC in the United States (“Masthercell U.S.”) (collectively, the “Masthercell Global Subsidiaries”)).
9 |
In February 2020, the Company sold its entire equity interests in Masthercell Global Inc. (the “Masthercell Business”), which comprised the majority of the Company’s Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (“CDMO”) business, to Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. (the “Masthercell Sale”). The Company determined that the Masthercell Business (“Discontinued Operation”) met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation as of the first quarter of 2020. The Discontinued Operation includes the vast majority of the previous CDMO Business, including majority-owned Masthercell, including MaSTherCell, Masthercell U.S. and all of the Masthercell Global Subsidiaries (See Note 3).
The Company has continued to grow its infrastructure and expand its processing sites into new markets and jurisdictions. In addition, the Company has been investing manpower and financial resources to focus on developing, manufacturing and rolling out several types of OMPULs to be used and/or distributed through our POCare Network of partners, collaborators, and joint ventures.
The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is the Company’s chief operating decision-maker who reviews financial information prepared on a consolidated basis. Effective from the first quarter of 2020, all of the Company’s continuing operations are in one segment, being the point-of-care business via our POCare Platform. Therefore, no segment report has been presented.
The Company currently conducts its core CGT business operations through itself and its subsidiaries which are all wholly-owned except as otherwise stated (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). The Subsidiaries are as follows:
● | United States: Orgenesis Maryland Inc. (the “U.S. Subsidiary”) is the center of activity in North America currently focused on setting up of the POCare Network. |
● | Koligo Therapeutics Inc. (“Koligo”) is a Kentucky corporation that was acquired in 2020 and is currently focused on developing the POCare network and therapies. |
● | European Union: Orgenesis Belgium SRL (the “Belgian Subsidiary”) is the center of activity in Europe currently focused on process development and preparation of European clinical trials. |
● | Orgenesis Switzerland Sarl (the “Swiss subsidiary) incorporated in October 2020 is currently focused on providing management services to the Company. |
● | Israel: Orgenesis Ltd. (the “Israeli Subsidiary”) is a provider of regulatory, clinical and pre-clinical services, and Orgenesis Biotech Israel Ltd. (“OBI”) is a provider of cell-processing services in Israel. |
● | Korea: Orgenesis Korea Co. Ltd. (the “Korean Subsidiary”), is a provider of processing and pre-clinical services in Korea. The Company owns 94.12% of the Korean Subsidiary. |
These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orgenesis Inc. and its subsidiaries (2020 including the Discontinued Operation).
The Company’s common stock, par value $ per share (the “Common Stock”) is listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ORGS.”
As used in this report and unless otherwise indicated, the term “Company” refers to Orgenesis Inc. and its Subsidiaries. Unless otherwise specified, all amounts are expressed in United States Dollars.
b. | Liquidity |
As of March 31, 2021, the Company has accumulated losses of approximately $89 Million.
Based on its current cash resources and commitments, the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development activities and expected level of expenditures for at least 12 months from the date of the issuance of these financial statements. If there are further increases in operating costs for facilities expansion, research and development, commercial and clinical activity or decreases in revenues from customers, the Company may decide to seek additional financing.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION
a. | Basis of presentation |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to fairly state the financial position and results of operations of the Company. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2020, but not all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) are included.
b. | Significant accounting policies |
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year except as described below:
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, judgments and methodologies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities and equity, the amount of revenues and expenses and determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or a purchase of asset. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments that are uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat COVID-19, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers and markets. We examined the impact of COVID-19 on our financial statements, and although there is currently no major impact, there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no net effect on previously reported results of operations.
Revision of Previously Reported Consolidated Financial Statements
In connection with the preparation of the company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, the Company identified an immaterial error originating in the first quarter of 2020 related to the gain calculation on the sale of MastherCell, which was consummated in February 2020. The Company did not adjust the gain calculation for the reversal of previously-recorded accretion adjustments to the carrying amount of the Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest (NCI) in the amount of $5,574. The Company has revised its financial statements presented herein for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to correct the error. The revision resulted in an increase to additional paid-in capital and a decrease in net income from discontinued operations, net of tax. There is no impact on net loss from continuing operations or earning per share. In addition, there is no impact on the Company’s balance sheet or statement of cash flows.
The following table summarizes the impact of the revision on additional paid-in capital and net income from discontinued operations, net of tax for the three months ended March 31, 2020:
As reported | Adjustment | As revised | ||||||||||

Corporate Overview
Orgenesis Inc., a Nevada corporation, is a global biotech company working to unlock the potential of cell and gene therapies (“CGTs”) in an affordable and accessible format.
CGTs can be centered on autologous (using the patient’s own cells) or allogenic (using master banked donor cells) and are part of a class of medicines referred to as advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs). We mostly focus on autologous therapies, with processes and systems that are developed for each therapy using a closed and automated processing system approach that is validated for compliant production near the patient at their point of care for the treatment of patients. This approach has the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional commercial manufacturing methods that do not translate well to commercial production of advanced therapies due to their cost prohibitive nature and complex logistics to deliver the treatments to patients (ultimately limiting the number of patients that can have access to, or can afford, these therapies).
To achieve these goals, we have developed a Point of Care Platform comprised of three enabling components: a pipeline of licensed POCare Therapies that are designed to be processed and produced in closed, automated POCare Technology systems and a collaborative POCare Network. Via a combination of science, technology, engineering, and networking, we are working to provide a more efficient and scalable pathway for advanced therapies to reach patients more rapidly at lowered costs. We also draw on extensive medical expertise to identify promising new autologous therapies to leverage within the POCare Platform either via ownership or licensing.
The POCare Network brings together patients, doctors, industry partners, research institutes and hospitals worldwide with a goal of achieving harmonized, regulated clinical development and production of the therapies.
POCare Platform Operations via Subsidiaries
We currently conduct our core business operations ourselves and through our subsidiaries, which are all wholly-owned except as otherwise stated below (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). The Subsidiaries are as follows:
United States
● | Orgenesis Maryland Inc. (the “U.S. Subsidiary”) is the center of activity in North America and is currently focused on setting up the POCare Network. |
● | Koligo Therapeutics Inc. (“Koligo”) is a Kentucky corporation that we acquired in 2020 and is currently focused on developing the POCare network and therapies. |
Europe
● | Orgenesis Belgium SRL (the “Belgian Subsidiary”) is the center of activity in Europe and is currently focused on process development and the preparation of European clinical trials. |
● | Orgenesis Switzerland Sarl (the “Swiss Subsidiary”), was incorporated in October 2020, and is currently focused on providing management services to us. |
Asia
● | Orgenesis Ltd. in Israel (the “Israeli Subsidiary”) is a provider of regulatory, clinical and pre-clinical services. |
● | Orgenesis Biotech Israel Ltd. (“OBI”), is a provider of cell-processing services in Israel. |
● | Orgenesis Korea Co. Ltd. (the “Korean Subsidiary”), is a provider of processing and pre-clinical services in Korea. We own 94.12% of the Korean Subsidiary. |

Business Strategy
Our aim is to provide a pathway to bring Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (“ATMPs”) in the cell and gene therapy industry from research to patients worldwide through our POCare Platform. We define point of care as a process of collecting, processing, and administering cells within the patient care environment, namely through academic partnerships in a hospital setting. We believe that this approach is an attractive proposition for personalized medicine because of our strategic partnerships with suppliers that help us to customize closed systems into effective mobile clean room facilities. This will potentially help to minimize or eliminate the need for cell transportation, which is a high-risk and costly aspect of the supply chain.
We aim to build value in various aspects of our company ranging from supply related processes including development and distribution systems, clinical and regulatory services, engineering and devices such as OMPULs discussed below, delivery systems, therapies including immuno-oncology, anti-aging, anti-viral, metabolic, nephrology, dermatology, orthopedic, as well as regenerative technologies.
Over time, we have worked to develop and validate POCare Technologies that can be combined within mobile production units for advanced therapies. We made significant investments in the development of several types of Orgenesis Mobile Processing Units and Labs (“OMPULs”) with the expectation of use and/or distribution through our POCare Network of partners, collaborators, and joint ventures. We anticipate distributing and using the OMPULS through our POCare Network of partners, collaborators, and joint ventures.
OMPULs are designed for the purpose of validation, development, performance of clinical trials, manufacturing and/or processing of potential or approved cell and gene therapy products in a safe, reliable, and cost-effective manner at the point of care, as well as the manufacturing of such CGTs in a consistent and standardized manner in all locations. The design delivers a potential industrial solution for us to deliver CGTs to most clinical institutions at the point of care.
Revenue Model and Business Development
Our Point of Care (“POCare”) Platform is comprised of three enabling components: a multitude of licensed cell based POCare Therapeutics that are produced in closed, automated POCare Technology systems and a collaborative POCare Network. Our therapies include, but are not limited to, autologous, cell-based immunotherapies, therapeutics for metabolic diseases, anti-viral diseases, and tissue regeneration. We are establishing and positioning the business to bring point-of-care therapies to patients in a scalable way working directly with hospitals and through regional joint venture partners (“JVs”) and JVs active in autologous cell therapy product development, including facilities in various countries in North America, Europe, Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia. The POCare Platform’s goal is to enable a rapid, globally harmonized pathway for these therapies to reach large numbers of patients at lowered costs through efficient and decentralized production. The POCare Network brings together industry partners, research institutes and hospitals worldwide to achieve harmonized, regulated clinical development and production of the therapies.
We are focused on technology in-licensing and therapeutic collaborations, and we out-license therapies marketing rights and manufacturing rights to partners and / or to the JVs. In many cases, the JVs are responsible for the preparation of clinical trials, local regulatory approvals and regional marketing activities. Such licensing includes exclusive or nonexclusive, sublicensable, royalty bearing rights and license to the Orgenesis Background IP as required solely to manufacture, distribute and market and sell Orgenesis Products within the relevant territories. In consideration of the rights and the licenses so granted, we receive a royalty in the range of ten percent of the net sales generated by the JVs and/or its sublicensees (as applicable) with respect to the Orgenesis Products.
In addition, in many cases, once the JVs become profitable, we are entitled (in addition to any of its rights as holder of the JVs and prior to any other distributions of dividends by the JVs to shareholders of the JVs) to certain royalties pursuant to an Orgenesis License Agreement, to receive from the JVs royalties at a range of 10 to 15 percent of the JV’s audited U.S. GAAP profit, after tax.
17 |
We currently generate revenues from POCare services and sales which is comprised of:
● | R&D services provided to out licensing partners |
The Company has signed POCare Master Services Agreements (“MSAs”) with our JV partners. In terms of the MSAs, we provide certain broadly defined development services that relate to our licensed therapies designed to develop or enhance the therapy with the objective of preparing it for clinical use. Such services, per therapy, include regulatory services, pre-clinical studies, intellectual property services, development services, and GMP process translation.
● | Hospital supply |
Hospital services includes the sale or lease of products and the performance of processing services to our POCare hospitals or other medical providers. We either work directly with hospitals or receive payments through our regional JV partnerships.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was approximately $1 million, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of approximately $103 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The change was mainly due to the proceeds from Masthercell in the first quarter of 2020. Net cash used in investing activities was primarily for related activates under our CGT Biotech Platform.
Liquidity & Capital Resources Outlook
We believe that our current cash balance as well as revenues from our current operations results will provide sufficient liquidity to fund our operating needs for at least the next 12 months. However, there are factors that can impact our ability to continue to fund our operating needs, including:
● | restrictions on our ability to expand sales volume from our CGT Biotech Platform; and |
● | the need for us to continue to invest in operating activities to remain competitive or acquire other businesses and technologies and to complement our products, expand the breadth of our business, enhance our technical capabilities or otherwise offer growth opportunities. |
If there are further increases in operating costs in general and administrative expenses for facilities expansion, funding for some of our collaborations and joint ventures, research and development, commercial and clinical activity or decreases in revenues from customers, we may decide to seek additional financing.
