ORGENESIS INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

 

a. General

 

Orgenesis Inc. (the “Company”) 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, or ATMPs. The Company is mostly focused on the development of autologous therapies that can be manufactured under processes and systems that are developed for each therapy using a closed and automated approach that is validated for compliant production near the patient for treatment of the patient at the point of care, or POCare.

 

In connection with the investment by an affiliate of Metalmark Capital Partners (“Metalmark” or “MM) in the Company’s subsidiary Morgenesis LLC (“Morgenesis”) in November 2022 (“the Metalmark Investment”), the Company separated its operations into two operating segments: the operations of Morgenesis LLC (the “Morgenesis” or “Octomera” segment) and therapies related activities (the “Therapies” segment).

 

On June 30, 2023, in connection with an additional $1 million investment in Morgenesis, the Company and MM entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement Amendment”) to change the name of Morgenesis to “Octomera LLC” and to amend Morgenesis’ board composition. Pursuant to the LLC Agreement Amendment, the board of managers of Octomera (the “Octomera Board”) will be comprised of five managers, two of which will be appointed by the Company, one of which will be an industry expert appointed by MM, and two of which will be appointed by MM. The change was effective immediately. However, as a result of the amendment to the composition of the Octomera Board pursuant to the LLC Agreement Amendment described above, the Company deconsolidated Octomera from its consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023 (“effective date of deconsolidation”) and recorded its equity interest in Octomera as an equity method investment, see note 3

 

The Company currently owns approximately 75% of Octomera LLC.

 

These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orgenesis Inc. and its subsidiaries.

 

The Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 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

 

Through June 30, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $130 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 the Company incurred negative cash flows from operating activities of $13.2 million. The Company’s activities have been funded primarily by generating revenue, offerings of the Company’s securities and convertible loans. There is no assurance that the Company’s business will generate sustainable positive cash flows to fund its business operations.

 

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 will need to use mitigating actions such as to seek additional financing or postpone expenses that are not based on firm commitments. In addition, in order to fund the Company’s operations until such time that the Company can generate sustainable positive cash flows, the Company may need to raise additional funds.

 

11
 

 

Current and projected cash resources and commitments, as well as the other factors mentioned above, raise a substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern to meet the Company’s current operations for the next 12 months. Management plans include raising additional capital to fund the Company’s operations and to repay the Company’s outstanding loans when they become due, as well as exploring additional avenues to increase revenue and reduce capital expenditures. If the Company is unable to raise sufficient additional capital or meet revenue targets, it may have to curtail certain activities.

 

The estimation and execution uncertainty regarding the Company’s future cash flows and management’s judgments and assumptions in estimating these cash flows is a significant estimate. Those assumptions include reasonableness of the forecasted revenue, operating expenses, and uses and sources of cash.

 

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, 2022, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 22, 2023. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2022, but not all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

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 the determination of the fair value of the retained interest of equity investment. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

 

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance is effective for Smaller Reporting Companies (SRCs, as defined by the SEC) for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2023, including interim periods within that year. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance results in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. The guidance is to be applied prospectively to acquisitions that occur on or after the effective date. The guidance is currently effective for fiscal years that began after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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.

 

NOTE 3 – REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST AND DECONSOLIDATION

 

Metalmark Investment in Octomera LLC

 

On May 5, 2023, the Company and MM entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Unit Purchase Agreement dated November 4, 2022 (the “UPA”). Pursuant to Amendment No 1, MM agreed to pay $5,000,000 in cash in exchange for 500,000 Class A Preferred Units of Morgenesis to support the continued expansion of Orgenesis’ POCare Services (the “Subsequent Investment”). The investment amount of the First Future Investment (as defined in the UPA) was reduced by the amount of the Subsequent Investment.

 

On June 30, 2023, the Company and MM entered into Amendment No. 2 (the “Amendment”) to the UPA (“Amendment No. 2”). Pursuant to Amendment No. 2, MM agreed to pay $1,000,000 in cash in exchange for 100,000 Class A Preferred Units of Octomera to support the continued expansion of Orgenesis’ POCare Services. The investment amount of the First Future Investment (as defined in the UPA) was further reduced by the amount of this additional investment.

As a result of the deconsolidation (see note 1a), the Company recorded a net profit of $411 thousand, representing the difference between the fair value of the retained interest in Octomera and the net assets deconsolidated in the transaction as follows:

 

 

   (in thousands) 
     
Fair value of the retained interest in Octomera  $31,442 
Net assets deconsolidated   32,551 
Other related items deconsolidated, net   (1,520)
Net profit  $411 

 


The change in board composition does not constitute a strategic shift from the Company’s perspective and therefore the Company did not treat the deconsolidation as a discontinued operation.

 

Following the Amendment No. 2, the Company accounts for its investment in Octomera according to the equity method in accordance with ASC Topic 323, as it has retained the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control the entity. The Company thus recognized an equity method investment in a total amount of $31.4 million comprised of the assumed fair value of the Octomera shares held by the Company. Following the deconsolidation the Company recognized related parties balances that are disclosed on the face of the Company’s balance sheet.

 

13
 

 

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price (“PPA”) to net assets acquired and liability assumed resulted in the recognition of intangible asset of $6.2 million and other net assets of $25.2 million. The value assigned to intangible assets is amortized over a period of 10 years and the related amortization will be included under share in net losses (profits) from associated companies. The estimated fair value is preliminary and based on the information that was available as of June 30, 2023. Thus, the measurement of fair value reflected is subject to change and such change could be significant.

 

In evaluating the fair value of the Octomera Equity Investment under the income approach, the Company used a discounted cash flow model of the business, adjusted to the Company’s share in the investment. Key assumptions used to determine the estimated fair value included: (a) internal cash flows forecasts for 5 years following the assessment date, including expected revenue growth, costs to produce, operating profit margins and estimated capital needs; (b)an estimated terminal value using a terminal year long-term future growth determined based on the growth prospects of the reporting units; and (c) a discount rate which reflects the weighted average cost of capital adjusted for the relevant risk associated with the Company’s reporting unit operations and the uncertainty inherent in the Company’s internally developed forecasts. The allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in the recognition of other intangible assets, net which comprised of technology. The useful life of the technology 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 following table represents the deconsolidated amounts from the Company’s Balance Sheet:

 

      
ASSETS:     
Cash and cash equivalents   973 
Other current assets   47,217 
Non-current assets   29,443 
TOTAL ASSETS   77,633 
      
LIABILITIES:     
Current liabilities   6,566 
Long-term liabilities   2,313 
TOTAL LIABILITIES   8,879 
      
REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST   36,203 
      
NET ASSETS DECONSOLIDATED   32,551 

 

NOTE 4 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

The Morgenesis operations segment, which has been renamed to the Octomera segment following the change of name of Morgenesis LLC to Octomera LLC includes mainly POCare Services, while the therapies related segment includes the Company’s therapeutic development operations. The segment information includes all the results of the Octomera segment up to the effective date of deconsolidation.

 

Because the Company conducted all its operations as one segment prior to the Metalmark Investment, the above changes were reflected through retroactive revision of prior period segment information based on the subsidiaries that were transferred to Octomera. Certain activities of these subsidiaries have changed after they were transferred to Octomera operations segment.

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), who is the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), reviews financial information prepared on a consolidated basis, accompanied by disaggregated information about revenues and contributed profit by the two identified reportable segments to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and assess their performance.

 

The Company does not review assets by segment. Therefore, the measure of assets has not been disclosed for each segment.

NOTE 5 – EQUITY

 

On February 23, 2023, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “Purchaser”) relating to the issuance and sale of 1,947,368 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and warrants to purchase up to 973,684 shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) at a purchase price of $1.90 per share of Common Stock and accompanying Warrants in a registered direct offering (the “Offering”). The Offering closed on February 27, 2023 (the “Closing Date”).

 

The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.90 per share, are exercisable immediately and will expire five years following the date of issuance. The Warrants have an alternate cashless exercise option (beginning on or after the earlier of (a) the thirty-day anniversary of the date of the Purchase Agreement and (b) the date on which the aggregate composite trading volume of Common Stock following the public announcement of the pricing terms exceeds 13,600,000 shares), to receive an aggregate number of shares equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issuable upon a cash exercise and (y) 1.0. The aggregate gross proceeds to the Company from the Offering was $3.7 million, before deducting placement agent cash fees equal to 7.0% of the gross proceeds received and other expenses from the Offering payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the Company’s therapy related activities.

 

As of June 30, 2023, all of the warrants were exercised using the alternate cashless exercise option described above.

Convertible Loans Entered into in 2023

 

On January 10, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), the Company entered into the following agreements: (i) a convertible loan agreement (the “NewTech Convertible Loan Agreement”) with NewTech Investment Holdings, LLC (the “NewTech Lender”), pursuant to which the NewTech Lender loaned the Company $4,000,000 (the “NewTech Loan Amount”), and (ii) a convertible loan agreement (the “Malik Convertible Loan Agreement”, together with the NewTech Convertible Loan Agreement, the “Convertible Loan Agreements”) with Ariel Malik (the “Malik Lender”, together with the NewTech Lender, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Malik Lender loaned the Company $1,000,000 (the “Malik Loan Amount”, together with the NewTech Loan Amount, the “Loan Amount”).

 

The terms of the NewTech Convertible Loan Agreement and the Malik Loan Agreement are identical. Interest is calculated at 8% per annum (based on a 365-day year); provided, that if an Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Loan Agreements) has occurred and is continuing, the Outstanding Amount (as defined herein) will be calculated at 15.0% per annum. The Loan Amount and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon (collectively, the “Outstanding Amount”) shall either (i) be repaid in cash or (ii) convert to shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Company on the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Maturity Date”). The Maturity Date may be extended by the Lender upon the written consent of the Lender. The Outstanding Amount may be prepaid by the Company in whole or in part at any time with the prior approval of the Lender.

 

At any time prior to or on the Maturity Date, any Lender may provide the Company with written notice to convert all or part of the Outstanding Amount into shares of our Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Outstanding Amount by (y) a price equal to $2.464 per share (subject to adjustment for certain capital events, such as stock splits) (the “Conversion Price”).

 

17
 

 

The Convertible Loan Agreements contain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including a minimum share reserve, transactions with affiliates, and restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt. Each Lender’s obligation to fund its respective Loan Amount is subject to customary closing conditions and deliverables.

 

Under the terms of the Convertible Loan Agreements, the Company will use the proceeds from the Loan Amount to (i) redeem the loan amount from the previously disclosed Convertible Loan Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2022 between Orgenesis and Ricky Steven Neumann, as amended by the previously disclosed certain Convertible Loan Extension Agreement, dated as of October 23, 2022, by and between Orgenesis and Ricky Steven Neumann, and (ii) for general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the terms, the Company repaid said loan upon receipt of the Loan Amount. The use of proceeds from any Additional Loan Amount (as defined in the Convertible Loan Agreements) will be to redeem existing indebtedness; provided, that $3,000,000 of the Additional Loan Amount may be used for general corporate purposes.

 

In connection with such loan, the Company agreed to issue the NewTech Lender warrants representing the right to purchase 405,844 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share and the Malik Lender warrants representing the right to purchase 101,461 shares of Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share. Such Warrants will be exercisable at any time beginning six months and one day after closing and ending 36 months after the closing date.

 

Koligo Convertible Loan

 

On March 27, 2023, the Company’s subsidiary Koligo Therapeutics Inc. (“Borrower”), entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Convertible Loan Agreement”) with Yehuda Nir (the “Lender,” and together with the Borrower, the “Parties”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to loan the Borrower up to $5,000,000 (the “Loan Amount”). Interest is calculated at 8% per annum (based on a 365-day year) and is payable, along with the principal, on or before January 1, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”). The Maturity Date may be extended by the Lender in the Lender’s sole and absolute discretion and any such extension(s) shall be in writing signed by the Parties. The Loan Amount may be prepaid by the Borrower in whole or in part at any time with the prior written approval of the Lender.

 

If prior to December 31, 2023, the Borrower issues equity securities (“Equity Securities”) in a transaction or series of related transactions resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Borrower of at least $5,000,000 (excluding conversion of the Loan Amount) (a “Qualified Financing”), then the outstanding principal amount of the Loan Amount, and any and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon (collectively, the “Outstanding Amount”), will automatically convert into such Equity Securities issued pursuant to the Qualified Financing at a price per share equal to fifty percent (50%) of the price per share paid for each share of the Equity Securities purchased for cash by the investors in the Qualified Financing (the “Mandatory Conversion”). The per share price for the Mandatory Conversion shall be calculated on a fully diluted basis (including equity underlying all outstanding options, warrants, and other convertible securities, but excluding the Equity Securities issuable upon the Mandatory Conversion).

 

The Parties agreed that the Lender shall have the option to assign $1,500,000 of the Loan Amount due to the Lender under that certain convertible loan agreement between the Lender and the Company dated April 21, 2022, as amended, (collectively the “Original Loan”), to the Borrower (the “Loan Assignment”). The terms of the Loan Assignment will be the same as under the Original Loan, including a maturity date of January 31, 2026 and an annual interest rate of 10%. The Loan Assignment will be subject to the Mandatory Conversion as described above. As of the date of the issue of these financial statements, said assignment did not occur.

Extension of Existing Loan Agreements

 

On January 12, 2023, the Company entered into (i) a Convertible Credit Line and Unsecured Convertible Note Extension #2 Agreement with Yosef Dotan (the “Dotan Extension Agreement”), (ii) a Convertible Credit Line Extension Agreement with Aharon Lukach (the “Lukach Extension Agreement”) and (iii) a Convertible Loans and Unsecured Convertible Notes Extension #2 Agreement with Yehuda Nir (the “Nir Extension Agreement”), each which extended the maturity date of the convertible loans under their respective loan agreements (as described below) to January 31, 2026. The aggregate principal amount of loans extended was $12 million and the interest rate on the extended loans varied between 2% and 10%. In consideration for the extensions, (i) the interest rate on such principal amount of such loans was increased to 10% per annum commencing on February 1, 2023 (except for the Nir Convertible Loan Agreement dated as of April 12, 2022, which already had a 10% per annum interest rate), (ii) the conversion price of the loans was reduced from $7.00 to $2.50 (except for the Nir Convertible Loan Agreement dated as of April 12, 2022, which already had a $2.50 conversion price), (iii) the exercise price of the warrants issuable upon conversion of the 2% Notes and the Nir Convertible Loan Agreement dated as of May 17, 2019 was reduced to $2.50 per share and the term of such warrants was extended to January 31, 2026.

 

The Dotan Extension Agreement related to a Convertible Credit Line Agreement dated as of October 3, 2019, as amended, of which $750,000 principal amount plus interest is outstanding, and 2% Notes purchased from the Company on November 3, 2018, of which $250,000 principal amount plus interest is outstanding. Based on its analysis, the Company concluded that the change in terms referred to Convertible Credit Line Agreement and the 2% Notes should be accounted for as a modification and an extinguishment respectively.

 

The Lukach Extension Agreement related to a Convertible Credit Line Agreement dated as of October 3, 2019, as amended, of which $750,000 principal amount plus interest is outstanding. Based on its analysis, the Company concluded that the change in terms referred to above should be accounted for as a modification.

 

The Nir Extension Agreement related to 2% Notes purchased from the Company on November 3, 2018, as amended, of which $500,000 principal amount plus interest is outstanding, a Convertible Loan Agreement dated as of May 17, 2019, of which $5,000,000 principal amount plus interest is outstanding, and a Convertible Loan Agreement dated as of April 12, 2022, as amended, of which $5,000,000 principal amount plus interest is outstanding. Based on its analysis, the Company concluded that the change in terms referred to the 2% Notes and Convertible Loan Agreement should be accounted for as an extinguishment and a modification respectively.

Corporate Overview

 

We are a global biotech company working to unlock the potential of 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, or ATMPs. We are mostly focused on the development of autologous therapies that can be manufactured under processes and systems that are developed for each therapy using a closed and automated approach that is validated for compliant production near the patient for treatment of the patient at the point of care, or POCare. 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 such 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 collaborative worldwide network of research institutes and hospitals who are engaged in the POCare model, or our POCare Network, and a pipeline of licensed POCare advanced therapies that can be processed and produced under such closed and automated processes and systems, or POCare Therapies. We are developing our pipeline of advanced therapies and with the goal of entering into out-licensing agreements for these therapies. Our cellular therapies, though defined as drug products, conceptually differ from other drug modalities in that they are based on reprogramming of cells sourced from the patient or from a donor. In most cases, they are individually produced per patient in a highly sterile and controlled environment, and their efficacy is optimized when administered a short time following production as fresh product.

 

To advance the execution of our goal of bringing such therapies to market, we have designed and built our POCare Platform - a scalable infrastructure of technology and services that ensures a central quality system, replicability and standardization of infrastructure and equipment, and centralized monitoring and data management. The platform is constructed on POCare Centers that serve as hubs that locally implement our quality system, Good Manufacturing Practices, training procedures, quality control testing, incoming supply of materials and oversee the actual production in the Orgenesis Mobile Processing Units & Labs, or OMPULs.

 

In connection with the investment by an affiliate of Metalmark Capital Partners (“Metalmark” or “MM”) in November 2022, we separated our operations into two operating segments: the operations of Morgenesis LLC (the “Morgenesis” segment which we have renamed to the “Octomera” segment following the change of name of Morgenesis LLC to Octomera LLC) and therapies related activities (the “Therapies” segment). Prior to that, we conducted all our operations as one single segment. The Octomera segment includes mainly POCare Services and include the results of the subsidiaries transferred to Octomera and all of the operations of Octomera LLC. The Therapies segment includes our therapeutic development operations. The segment information presented in note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflects the results of the subsidiaries that were transferred to Octomera.

 

On June 30, 2023, in connection with an additional $1 million investment in Octomera, we and MM entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (the “LLC Agreement Amendment”) to change the name of Morgenesis to “Octomera LLC” and to amend Octomera’s board composition. Pursuant to the LLC Agreement Amendment, the board of managers of Octomera (the “Octomera Board”) will be comprised of five managers, two of which will be appointed by us, one of which will be an industry expert appointed by MM, and two of which will be appointed by MM. However, as a result of the amendment to the composition of the Octomera Board pursuant to the LLC Agreement Amendment described above, we deconsolidated Octomera from our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2023 (the “effective date of deconsolidation”) and recorded our equity interest in Octomera as an equity method investment.

 

We currently own approximately 75% of Octomera LLC.

Therapies segment (POCare Therapies)

 

While the biotech industry struggles to determine the best way to lower cost of goods and enable CGTs to scale, the scientific community continues to advance and push the development of such therapies to new heights. Clinicians and researchers are excited by all the new tools (new generations of industrial viruses, big data analysis for genetic and molecular data) and technologies (CRISPR, mRNA, etc.) available (often at a low cost) to perform advanced research in small labs. Most new therapies arise from academic institutes or small spinouts from such institutes. Though such research efforts may manage to progress into a clinical stage, utilizing lab based or hospital-based production solutions they lack the resources to continue the development of such drugs to market approval.

 

Historically, drug/therapeutic development has required investments of hundreds of millions of dollars to be successful. One significant cause for the high cost is that each therapy often requires unique production facilities and technologies that must be subcontracted or built. Further the cost of production during the clinical stage is extremely expensive, and the cost of the clinical trial itself is very high. Given these financial restraints, researchers and institutes hope to out- license their therapeutic products to large biotech companies or spin-out new companies and raise large fundraising rounds. However, in many cases they lack the resources and the capability to de-risk their therapeutic candidates enough to be attractive for such fundings or partnership.

 

Our POCare Network is an alternative to the traditional pathway of drug development. We collaborate with academic institutions and entities that have been spun out from such institutions. We are in close contact with researchers who are experts in the field of the drug and also partners with leading hospitals and research institutes. Based on such collaborations, we enter into in-licensing agreements with relevant institutions for promising therapies with the aim of adapting them to a point-of-care setting through regional or strategic biological partnerships. Based on the results of the collaboration, we are then able to out-license our own therapeutic developments, as well as those therapies developed from in-licensing agreements to out-licensing partners at preferred geographical regions.

 

The ability to produce these products at low cost, allows for an expedited development process and the partnership with hospitals around the globe enables joint grants and lower cost of clinical development. The POCare Therapies division reviews many therapies available for out licensing and select the ones which they believe have the highest market potential, can benefit the most from a point of care approach and have the highest chance of clinical success. It assesses such issues by utilizing its global POCare Network and its internal knowhow accumulated over a decade of involvement in the field.

The goal of this in-licensing is to quickly adapt such therapies to a point-of- care approach through regional partnerships, and to out-license the products for market approval in preferred geographical regions. This approach lowers overall development cost, through minimizing pre-clinical development costs incurred by us, and through receiving of the additional funding from grants and/or payments by regional partners.

 

Our therapies development subsidiaries are:

 

Koligo Therapeutics, Inc., a Kentucky corporation, which is a regenerative medicine company, specializing in developing personalized cell therapies. It is currently focused on commercializing its metabolic pipeline via the POCare Network throughout the United States and in international markets.
Orgenesis CA, Inc. a Delaware corporation, which is currently focused on development of technologies and therapies in California.
Orgenesis Belgium SRL which is currently focused on product development. Since its incorporation, the subsidiary been awarded grants in excess of 18 million Euro from the Walloon region for several projects (DGO6 grants).
Orgenesis Switzerland Sarl, which is currently focused on providing group management services.
MIDA Biotech BV, which is currently focused on research and development activities, was granted a 4 million Euro grant under the European Innovation Council Pathfinder Challenge Program which supports cutting-edge science and technology. The grant is for technologies enabling the production of autologous induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) using microfluidic technologies and artificial intelligence (AI).
  Orgenesis Italy SRL which is currently focused on R&D activities.
Orgenesis Ltd., an Israeli subsidiary which is focused on R&D and a provider of R&D management services for out licenced products. Israel as a hub for biotech research and pioneers in this field.
Orgenesis Austria GmbH, an Austrian subsidiary, which is focused on R&D activities.

Octomera segment (mainly POCare Services)

 

Octomera LLC (“Octomera” or “Morgenesis”) is responsible for most of our POCare services platform. The POCare Services platform is utilized by parties such as biotech companies and hospitals for the supply of their products. Octomera’s services include adapting the process to the platform and supplying the products, or POCare Services. These are services for third party companies and for CGTs that are not necessarily based on our POCare Therapies. POCare services that we and our affiliated entities perform include:

 

Process development of therapies, process adaptation, and optimization inside the OMPULs, or “OMPULization”
Adaptation of automation and closed systems to serviced therapies;
Incorporation of the serviced therapies compliant with GMP in the OMPULs that we design and built;
Tech transfers and training of local teams for the serviced therapies at the POCare Centers;
Processing and supply of the therapies and required supplies under GMP conditions within our POCare Network, including required quality control testing; and
Contract Research Organization services for clinical trials.

 

The POCare Services are performed in decentralized hubs that provide harmonized and standardized services to customers, or POCare Centers. We are working to expand the number and scope of our POCare Centers with the intention of providing an efficient and scalable pathway for CGT therapies to reach patients rapidly at lowered costs. Our POCare Services are designed to allow rapid capacity expansion while integrating new technologies to bring together patients, doctors and industry partners with a goal of achieving standardized, regulated clinical development and production of therapies.

Developments During the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023

 

On January 10, 2023 (“Effective date”), we entered into convertible loan agreements (the “CLAs”) with lenders pursuant to which we received convertible loans totaling $5 million. Interest on the CLAs is calculated at 8% per annum (based on a 365-day year); provided, that if an Event of Default (as defined in the Convertible Loan Agreements) has occurred and is continuing, the Outstanding Amount (as defined herein) will be calculated at 15.0% per annum. The Loan Amount and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon (collectively, the “Outstanding Amount”) shall either (i) be repaid in cash or (ii) convert to shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), on the third anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Maturity Date”). At any time prior to or on the Maturity Date, Lender may provide us with written notice to convert all or part of the Outstanding Amount into shares of our Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the Outstanding Amount by (y) a price equal to $2.464 per share (subject to adjustment for certain capital events, such as stock splits) (the “Conversion Price”).

Under the terms of the CLAs, we may use the proceeds from the Loan Amount to (i) redeem the loan amount from the previously disclosed Convertible Loan Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2022 between Orgenesis and Ricky Steven Neumann, as amended by the previously disclosed certain Convertible Loan Extension Agreement, dated as of October 23, 2022, by and between Orgenesis and Ricky Steven Neumann, and (ii) for general corporate purposes. Pursuant to the terms, we repaid said loan upon receipt of the Loan Amount. In connection with the CLAs, we agreed to issue Lender warrants representing the right to purchase 507,305 shares of our Common Stock, at an exercise price of $2.50 per share.

 

On February 23, 2023, we entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain institutional and accredited investors relating to the issuance and sale of 1,947,368 shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share and warrants to purchase up to 973,684 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $1.90 per share of Common Stock and accompanying Warrants in a registered direct offering. The offering closed on February 27, 2023 and the Company received approximately $3.7 million, before deducting the placement agent’s cash fee equal to 7% of the proceeds. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering for working capital and general corporate purposes, including the Company’s therapy related activities. The offering was made pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-254806), as previously filed with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 7, 2021, a base prospectus included as part of the registration statement, and a final prospectus supplement filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

 

On March 27, 2023, our subsidiary Koligo Therapeutics Inc. (“Borrower”), entered into a convertible loan agreement (the “Convertible Loan Agreement”) with Yehuda Nir (the “Lender,”), pursuant to which the Lender agreed to loan the Borrower up to $5,000,000 (the “Loan Amount”). Interest is calculated at 8% per annum (based on a 365-day year) and is payable, along with the principal, on or before January 1, 2024.

 

If prior to December 31, 2023, the Borrower issues equity securities (“Equity Securities”) in a transaction or series of related transactions resulting in aggregate gross proceeds to the Borrower of at least $5,000,000 (excluding conversion of the Loan Amount) (a “Qualified Financing”), then the outstanding principal amount of the Loan Amount, and any and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, will automatically convert into such Equity Securities issued pursuant to the Qualified Financing at a price per share equal to fifty percent (50%) of the price per share paid for each share of the Equity Securities purchased for cash by the investors in the Qualified Financing.

 

As of June 30, 2023, we borrowed $485 thousand pursuant to the Convertible Loan Agreement, and borrowed an additional $175 thousand in July 2023.

 

In January 2023, we entered into updated joint venture (JV) agreements (the “JVAs”) with Theracell Advanced Biotechnology SA, Broaden Bioscience and Technology Corp, Image Securities FZC, Cure Therapeutics, and Med Centre for Gene and Cell Therapy FZ-LLC and assigned certain rights and obligations under its JVAs to Texas Advanced Therapies LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability company (“Texas AT”) not related to us. Texas AT will receive our option to require the incorporation of the JV Entity, our share in the JV Entity if and when the latter are incorporated, an option to invest additional funding in the JV Entity, and board and veto rights on certain critical decisions in the JV Entity. We have retained the call option to acquire the JV partner’s share in the JVE, to receive a royalty and a right to conclude the Manufacturing and Service Agreement with the JV entity. We have no further obligation to provide any additional funding to the JV entities. As of June 30, 2023, no JV entities were incorporated as per the JVAs.

Revenues

 

During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized revenue in the amount of $6,975 thousand, as compared to $7,201 during the three months ended June 30, 2022, representing a decrease of 3%. This was mainly attributable to:

 

  An increase in POC cell processing revenue in the amount of $379 thousand as a result of new signed cell processing contracts in the Octomera segment; and
  An increase in cell process development and hospital services revenue in the amount of $5,669 thousand, offset by a decline in POC development services of $6,274 thousand, mainly in the Octomera segment. This is a result of progression in our revenue model, where, following the completion of POCare development services performance obligations, we entered into cell processing agreements with certain customers. The third-party customers now retain the ownership of any intellectual property created. We have completed the performance obligations under all of the POCare development services contracts concluded in prior years.

Net cash used in investing activities   (2,802)   (4,863)
Net cash provided by financing activities   10,796    10,906 
Decrease in cash and cash equivalents  $(5,160)  $(3,163)

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we funded our operations from existing funds, and equity and loan financings.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $13.2 million, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. This is mainly attributable to increased revenues in the Octomera segment which have not yet been collected.

 

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was approximately $2.8 million, as compared to net cash used in investing activities of approximately $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. The decrease was mainly due to loans granted to associated entities last year and reduced investments in OMPULs.

 

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was approximately $10.8 million, as compared to net cash provided by financing activities of approximately $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 we raised equity investments in the net amount of $3.3 million (see Note 4), raised proceeds from loans in the amount of $5.5 million (see Note 5), raised proceeds from MM in the amount of $5 million see note 3 and repaid convertible loans in the amount of $3 million (see Note 5).

 

Liquidity & Capital Resources Outlook

 

Our activities have been funded by generating revenue, proceeds from convertible loan agreements, and through offerings of our securities. There is no assurance that our business will generate sustainable positive cash flows to fund our operations.

 

If there are further increases in operating costs for facilities expansion, research and development, commercial and clinical activity or decreases in revenues from customers, we will need to use mitigating actions such as to seek additional financing, refinance or amend the terms of existing convertible loans or postpone expenses that are not based on firm commitments. In addition, in order to fund our operations until such time that we can generate sustainable positive cash flows, we will need to raise additional funds.

 

Our current and projected cash resources and commitments, as well as other factors mentioned above, raise a substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We are planning to raise additional capital to continue our operations and repay our outstanding loans when they become due, as well as to explore additional avenues to increase revenues and reduce expenditures. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

 

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation and subject to the foregoing, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to accomplish their objectives at the reasonable assurance level.

 

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
