Note 1. Organization and Description of Business

 

Vyant Bio, Inc. (the “Company”, “Vyant Bio”, “VYNT” or “we”), is an innovative biotechnology company transforming drug discovery for complex neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Our central nervous system (“CNS”) drug discovery platform combines the scientific knowhow of our team coupled with the application of human-derived organoid models of brain disease, scaled biology, and machine learning. Our platform is designed to: 1) elucidate disease pathophysiology; 2) formulate key therapeutic hypotheses; 3) identify and validate drug targets, cellular assays, and biomarkers to guide candidate molecule selection; and 4) guide clinical trial patient selection and trial design. Our current programs are focused on identifying repurposed and novel small molecule clinical candidates for rare CNS genetic disorders including Rett Syndrome (“Rett”), CDKL5 Deficiency Disorders (“CDD”) and familial Parkinson’s Disease (“PD”). The Company’s management believes that drug discovery needs to progressively shift as the widely used preclinical models for predicting safe and effective drugs have under-performed, as evidenced by the time and cost of bringing novel drugs to market. As a result, Vyant Bio is focused on combining sophisticated data science capabilities with highly functional human cell derived disease models. We leverage our ability to identify validated targets and molecular-based biomarkers to screen and test thousands of small molecule compounds in human diseased 3D brain organoids in order to create a unique approach to assimilating biological data that supports decision making iteratively throughout the discovery phase of drug development to identify both novel and repurposed drug candidates.

 

As further described in Note 3, in December 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the vivoPharm Pty Ltd and related subsidiaries (“vivoPharm”) business to focus the Company on the development of neurological developmental and degenerative disease therapeutics. The Company engaged an investment banker in December 2021 to sell the vivoPharm business during 2022.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all accounts and wholly-owned subsidiaries, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) and reflect all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for the fair presentation of the results for the periods presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. In accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company has omitted footnote disclosures that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company.

 

No new accounting pronouncement issued or effective has had, or is expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Ultimate results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the entire 2022 year.

 

Dollar amounts in tables are stated in thousands of U.S. dollars.

Note 2. Cancer Genetics, Inc. Merger

 

The Company formerly known as Cancer Genetics, Inc. (“CGI”), StemoniX and CGI Acquisition, Inc. (“Merger Sub”) entered into a merger agreement on August 21, 2020, which was amended on February 8, 2021 and February 26, 2021 (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub was merged (the “Merger”) with and into StemoniX on March 30, 2021, with StemoniX surviving the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Merger qualified as a tax-free “reorganization”. Concurrent with the Merger closing, the Company changed its name to Vyant Bio, Inc. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, upon consummation of the Merger, the Company issued (i) an aggregate of 17,977,544 shares of VYNT common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) to the holders of StemoniX capital stock (after giving effect to the conversion of all StemoniX preferred shares and StemoniX 2020 Convertible Notes) and StemoniX warrants (which does not include a certain warrant (the “Investor Warrant”) issued to a certain StemoniX convertible note holder (the “Major Investor”)), (ii) options to purchase an aggregate of 891,780 shares of Common Stock to the holders of StemoniX options with exercise prices ranging from $0.66 to $4.61 per share and a weighted average exercise price of $1.46 per share, and (iii) a warrant (the “Major Investor Warrant”) to the Major Investor, expiring February 23, 2026 to purchase 143,890 shares of Common Stock at a price of $5.9059 per share in exchange for the Investor Warrant.

 

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with StemoniX being the accounting acquirer of CGI using the acquisition method of accounting.

The Company has completed valuation analyses necessary to assess the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the amount of goodwill to be recognized as of the acquisition date. Fair values were based on management’s estimates and assumptions. The Company recognized intangible assets related to the Merger, which consist of the tradename valued at $1.5 million with an estimated useful life of ten years and customer relationships valued at $8.0 million with an estimated useful life of ten years. The initial measurements of these intangible assets were classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The value of the vivoPharm tradename was determined using the relief from royalty method based on analysis of profitability and review of market royalty rates. The Company determined that a 1.0% royalty rate was appropriate given the business-to-business nature of the vivoPharm operations. The value of the vivoPharm customer relationships was determined using an excess earnings method based on projected discounted cash flows and historic customer data. Key assumptions in this analysis included an estimated 10% annual customer attrition rate based on historical vivoPharm operations, a blended U.S. federal, state and Australian income tax rate of 27.1%, a present value factor of 8.5% as well as revenue, cost of revenue and operating expense assumptions regarding the future growth, operating expenses, including corporate overhead charges, and required capital investments.

 

The following presents the unaudited pro forma combined financial information as if the Merger had occurred as of January 1, 2020:

 

   Three months ended
June 30, 2021
   Six months ended
June 30, 2021
 
Total revenue  $1,947   $3,788 
Net loss   (4,021)   (5,560)
Pro forma loss per common share, basic and diluted   (0.14)   (0.19)
Pro forma weighted average number of common shares basic and diluted   28,985,924    28,973,370 

 

The pro forma combined results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that actually would have occurred had the Merger been completed as of January 1, 2020, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results.

 

Note 3. Discontinuing Operations

 

In December 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the vivoPharm Pty Ltd and related subsidiaries (“vivoPharm”) business to focus the Company on the development of neurological developmental and degenerative disease therapeutics. In December 2021, the Company engaged an investment bank to sell the vivoPharm business which is expected to be completed 2022.

 

The Company classified the vivoPharm business as held for sale as of December 31, 2021, and, given the significance of the change in the Company’s strategy, classified this business as discontinuing operations in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Therefore, the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 have been retroactively restated to reflect the vivoPharm business as discontinuing operations. In connection with the reclassification of the vivoPharm business as held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company completed a valuation of the net carrying value of this business and recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $20.2 million. The Company valued the vivoPharm business as of December 31, 2021 equally weighting public company revenue multiples as of December 31, 2021 and comparable transaction revenue multiples, which are classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The Company updated the valuation of the vivoPharm business as of March 31, 2022 based on equally weighting public company revenue multiples as of the valuation date and comparable transaction revenue multiples. As a result of this analysis, the Company recorded an additional impairment charge of $4.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 consisting of the write-off of the remaining $2.2 million goodwill balance and reducing the cost basis of customer relationships and tradenames by $1.8 million and $0.3 million, respectively. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company received two offers for mutually exclusive components of the vivoPharm business and assessed the carrying value of each asset group using the estimated net sales proceeds based on these offers. As a result, the Company recorded a net impairment charge of $1.5 million during the second quarter of 2022.

Note 7. Income Taxes

 

The Company recognizes deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets include, among others, capitalized research and development costs, net operating loss carryforwards and research and development tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are partially offset by deferred tax liabilities arising from intangibles, fixed assets and lease assets. Realization of net deferred tax assets is dependent upon future earnings, if any, the timing and amount of which are uncertain based on the Company’s history of losses. Accordingly, the Company’s net deferred tax assets have been fully offset by a valuation allowance. Utilization of net operating loss and credit carryforwards may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to ownership change provisions of Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended and similar state provisions. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating losses and credits before utilization.

 

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s liability for gross unrecognized tax benefits (excluding interest and penalties) totaled $0 thousand and $0, respectively, in continuing operations. The Company had accrued interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits of $0 and $0 on a gross basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively in continuing operations. The Company does not currently expect significant changes in the amount of unrecognized tax benefits during the next twelve months.

For any Major Investor, the modified terms provide for a fixed conversion discount on the 2020 Convertible Notes of 20% and a common stock warrant equal to 20% of the amount invested in all 2020 Convertible Notes by such Major Investor divided by the weighted average share price of the Common Stock over the five trading days prior to the closing of the Merger. One 2020 Convertible Note holder that had previously invested $1.25 million in the offering invested an additional $3.0 million on February 23, 2021 and upon the Merger received a warrant to purchase 143,890 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $5.9059 per share (the “Major Investor Warrant”).

Note 10. Fair Value Measurements

 

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company elected to account for the $3.0 million investment in the 2020 Convertible Notes issued to the Major Investor using the fair value method. Further, the Major Investor Warrant was deemed to be a liability classified instrument due its variable settlement features. Both of these instruments were classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy.

 

The fair value of the Company’s 2020 Convertible Note issued to the Major Investor is measured as the sum of the instrument’s parts, being the underlying debt instrument and the conversion feature. The conversion feature was valued using the probability weighted conversion price discount. The instrument provided the holder the right to convert the instrument into shares of Series B Preferred Stock at a 20% discount. Given the timing of the issuance of the instrument near the Merger date, management determined that there was a 99.5% probability of the holders converting the instrument to Company shares at a 20% discount.

 

The Company valued the warrants issued with the 2020 Convertible Notes using a Black-Scholes-Merton model using the value of the underlying stock and exercise price of $2.01, along with a risk-free interest rate of 0.59% and volatility of 86%. The Company estimated the term of the warrant to be 5 years.

 

The Company’s 2020 Convertible Notes contain a share settled redemption feature (“Embedded Derivative”) that requires conversion at the lesser of specified discounts from qualified financing price per share or the fair value of the common stock at the time of conversion. The discount changes based on the passage of time between issuance of the convertible note and the conversion event. This feature is considered a derivative that requires bifurcation because it provides a specified premium to the holder of the note upon conversion. The Company measures the share-settlement obligation derivative at fair value based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market. This results in the liability classified as a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

Upon the Merger, all of the Level 3 instruments were exchanged for Vyant Bio equity classified instruments. Prior to their exchange, all of these instruments were marked to their fair market values with corresponding changes recorded in the statement of operations in the first quarter of 2021.

 

In the fourth quarter of 2021, the Company classified the vivoPharm business as discontinuing operations and applied held for sale accounting. The Company valued the vivoPharm business as of December 31, 2021 equally weighting public company revenue multiples as of December 31, 2021 and comparable transaction revenue multiples, which are classified as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The Company updated the valuation of the vivoPharm business during the quarter ending March 31, 2022 based on equally weighting public company revenue multiples and comparable transaction revenue multiples, which resulted in a $4.5 million decrease to the fair value of vivoPharm in the first quarter of 2022. The fair value of the vivoPharm business was estimated to be $11.0 million and $6.5 million as of December 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, respectively. The Company recognized an impairment charge of $4.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, which decreased vivoPharm’s net carrying value, net of estimated disposal costs from $9.2 million as of December 31, 2021 to $4.9 million. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company received two offers for mutually exclusive components of the vivoPharm business and assessed the carrying value of each asset group using the estimated net sales proceeds based on these non-binding offers. As a result, the Company recorded a net impairment charge of $1.5 million during the second quarter of 2022 resulting in a net carrying value of $3.7 million for the vivoPharm business.

 

The following tables present changes in fair value of level 3 valued instruments as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Note 11. Loss Per Share

 

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss after tax attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by including potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the period in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding. The Company did not have any dilutive securities during the periods presented; therefore, diluted loss per share is equal to basic loss per share.  

 

Presented in the table below is a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator for the basic and diluted loss per share calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Note 12. Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has two pre-Merger legacy equity incentive plans: the Cancer Genetics Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”), and the StemoniX Inc. 2015 Stock Option Plan (the “2015 Plan”, and collectively, the “Frozen Stock Option Plans”). The Frozen Stock Option Plans as well as the 2021 Plan (as defined below) are meant to provide additional incentive to officers, employees and consultants to remain in the Company’s employment. Options granted are generally exercisable for up to 10 years. Effective with the Merger, the Company is no longer able to issue options from the Frozen Stock Option Plans. Effective with the Merger, the Vyant Bio 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”) came into effect, pursuant to which the Company’s Board of Directors may grant up to 4,500,000 of equity-based instruments to officers, key employees, and non-employee consultants.

 

As StemoniX was the acquirer for accounting purposes, the pre-Merger vested stock options granted by CGI under the 2008 and 2011 Plans are deemed to have been exchanged for equity awards of the Company. The exchange of StemoniX stock options for options to purchase Company common stock was accounted for as a modification of the StemoniX stock options; however, the modification did not result in any incremental compensation expense as the modification did not increase the fair value of the stock options.

 

For StemoniX stock options issued prior to the Merger, the expected volatility was estimated based on the average historical volatility of similar entities with publicly traded shares as StemoniX’s shares historically were not publicly traded and its shares rarely traded privately. After the Merger, the Company used Vyant’s historical volatility to determine the expected volatility of post-Merger option grants. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of grant.

 

The Company uses a simplified method to determine the expected term for the valuation of employee options. This method effectively assumes that exercise occurs over the period from vesting until expiration, and therefore the expected term is the midpoint between the service period and the contractual term of the award. The simplified method is applicable to options with service conditions. For options granted to nonemployees, the contractual term is used for the valuation of the options.

 

On March 30, 2021, the Company granted 1,151,500 stock options to officers and other employees, 78,090 stock options to independent Board members and a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) of 8,676 shares to the Company’s Board chair. The options granted to officers and employees vest 25% one year from the grant date and thereafter equally over the next 36 months. The options granted to Board members vested upon grant. The Board chair RSU vested one year from the grant date.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company granted 739,801 stock options to officers and other employees and 377,714 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to the Company’s Board of Directors. The options granted to officers and employees vest over various terms based on the underlying agreement, as 606,720 contain performance vesting criteria. The RSUs granted to Board members vest one year from the grant date.

 

As of June 30, 2022, there were 2,350,674 additional shares available for the Company to grant under the 2021 Plan. The grant-date fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model. The assumptions for stock option grants during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 are provided in the following table.

 

   2022   2021 
Valuation assumptions          
Expected dividend yield   0.0%   0.0%
Expected volatility   56.3% –69.8%   119-123%
Expected term (years) – simplified method   3.06.1     5.56.1 
Risk-free interest rate   1.74% – 3.0%   0.98% – 1.12 %

 

Stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is as follows:

 

   Number of Options   Weighted average exercise price   Weighted average remaining contractual term 
Balance as of January 1, 2021   756,383   $1.82    8.7

The weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was $0.52 and $3.89, respectively.

 

The aggregate intrinsic value of options outstanding as of June 30, 2022 was $3 thousand. The intrinsic value of options exercisable as of June 30, 2022 was $2 thousand. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $1 thousand and $23 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following discussion and analysis provides information management believes is useful in understanding the operating results, cash flows and financial condition of Vyant Bio, Inc. The discussion should be read in conjunction with both the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited consolidated financial statements and related notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, each included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. This discussion contains various “Forward-Looking Statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We refer readers to the statement entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” located at the end of this Item 2.

 

Overview

 

Vyant Bio, Inc. (the “Company”, “Vyant Bio”, “VYNT” or “we”), is an innovative biotechnology company transforming drug discovery for complex neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders. Our central nervous system (“CNS”) drug discovery platform combines the scientific knowhow of our team coupled with the application of human-derived organoid models of brain disease, scaled biology, and machine learning. Our platform is designed to: 1) elucidate disease pathophysiology; 2) formulate key therapeutic hypotheses; 3) identify and validate drug targets, cellular assays, and biomarkers to guide candidate molecule selection; and 4) guide clinical trial patient selection and trial design. Our current programs are focused on identifying repurposed and novel small molecule clinical candidates for rare CNS genetic disorders including Rett Syndrome (“Rett”), CDKL5 Deficiency Disorders (“CDD”) and familial Parkinson’s Disease (“PD”). The Company’s management believes that drug discovery needs to progressively shift as the widely used preclinical models for predicting safe and effective drugs have under-performed, as evidenced by the time and cost of bringing novel drugs to market. As a result, Vyant Bio is focused on combining sophisticated data science capabilities with highly functional human cell derived disease models. We leverage our ability to identify validated targets and molecular-based biomarkers to screen and test thousands of small molecule compounds in human diseased 3D brain organoids in order to create a unique approach to assimilating biological data that supports decision making iteratively throughout the discovery phase of drug development to identify both novel and repurposed drug candidates.

 

In December 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a plan to sell the vivoPharm Pty Ltd (“vivoPharm”) business to allow the Company to focus on the development of neurological developmental and degenerative disease therapeutics. We engaged an investment banker in December 2021 to sell the vivoPharm business during 2022.

 

Recent Developments

 

In July 2022, as part of the Company’s periodic evaluation of factors that impact the Company’s execution of its business, financial and research and development plans, particularly in light of the current status of the overall biotech financial markets, the Company determined to emphasize its operational focus and capital resources on developing therapeutic candidates to treat Rett Syndrome (“Rett”). Our specific intent is to be highly focused on the validation of the power of our drug discovery platform in a planned human proof-of-concept clinical trial currently anticipated to begin in early 2023. We have identified an FDA-approved drug and several small molecules against two novel targets showing the molecules robustly and reproducibly rescue the Rett Syndrome disease phenotype in our Rett patient-derived cortical organoid model. Both the repurposed and our new chemical entities (“NCE’s”) discovery efforts present a differentiated mechanism of action (“MOA”) compared to two compounds currently in U.S. clinical trials. Upcoming milestones for the proof-of-concept program includes an Rett adult-population clinical trial expected to commence in early 2023. We have initiated a collaboration with the International Rett Syndrome Foundation to advance our repurposing candidate into a proof-of-concept clinical trial in pediatric Rett patients in the U.S. and we plan to file an IND with the FDA in 2023. We anticipate identifying our lead series of NCEs for the treatment of Rett by the end of the fourth quarter of 2022.

 

Consistent with the Company’s strategy, the Company will continue its CDD and PD programs with its teams of experts in both areas, although at a reduced pace, and expect that development milestones may be delayed as the Company preserves its capital in favor of the Rett programs.

 

Cancer Genetics, Inc. Merger

 

On March 30, 2021, Vyant Bio, Inc. (the “Company”, “Vyant Bio”, “VYNT” or “we”), formerly known as Cancer Genetics, Inc. (“CGI”), completed its business combination (the “Merger”) with StemoniX, Inc., a Minnesota corporation (“StemoniX”), in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization, dated as of August 21, 2020 (the “Initial Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, StemoniX and CGI Acquisition, Inc., a Minnesota corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto made and entered into as of February 8, 2021 (the “First Amendment”) and Amendment No. 2 thereto made and entered into as of February 26, 2021 (the “Second Amendment”) (the Initial Merger Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment and Second Amendment, the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into StemoniX, with StemoniX surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

 

22

 

 

The Merger was accounted for as a reverse acquisition with StemoniX being the accounting acquirer of CGI using the acquisition method of accounting. Under acquisition accounting, the assets and liabilities (including executory contracts, commitments and other obligations) of CGI, as of March 30, 2021, the closing date of the Merger, were recorded at their respective fair values and added to those of StemoniX. Any excess of purchase price consideration over the fair values of the identifiable net assets is recorded as goodwill. The total consideration paid by StemoniX in the Merger amounted to $59.9 million, which represents the fair value of CGI’s 11,007,186 shares of Common Stock or $50.74 million, 2,157,686 Common Stock warrants or $9.04 million and 55,907 Common Stock options outstanding on the closing date of the Merger with a fair value of $139 thousand. In addition, at the effective time of the Merger, existing StemoniX shareholders received an additional 804,711 incremental shares in accordance with the conversion ratio set forth in the Merger Agreement.

 

Business Disposals - Discontinuing Operations

 

In December 2021, vivoPharm met the criteria to be reported as discontinuing operations. Therefore, the related assets, liabilities, operating results and cash flows of the vivoPharm business are reported as discontinuing operations as of December 31, 2021, and for period from the Merger date of March 30, 2021 through December 31, 2021. See Note 3. Discontinuing Operations, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 above for additional information.

 

Revenue from Continuing Operations

 

The Company’s primary revenue sources are microOrgan plate product sales and prior to the end of the first quarter of 2022 the performance of preclinical drug testing services using our microOrgan technology, referred to as Discovery as a Service, or DaaS. The Company plans to focus its resources on internal drug discovery development programs and will wind down substantially all customer revenue generation in 2022. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, 47% and 44 %, respectively, of revenue from continuing operations was generated from customers located outside of the United States. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, 15% and 24%, respectively, of revenue from continuing operations was generated from customers located outside of the United States. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, three and six customers accounted for approximately 95% and 78%, respectively, of the consolidated revenue from continuing operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, six and five customers accounted for approximately 89% and 70%, respectively, of the consolidated revenue from continuing operations.

 

Cost of Goods Sold from Continuing Operations

 

The Company separately reports cost of goods sold for product sales and service revenue. Product revenue costs include labor and product costs such as labware, plates and reagents required to develop iPSC’s into microOrgans as well as overhead, facility and equipment costs at the Company’s Maple Grove, Minnesota facility. As the facility was designed to accommodate the Company’s long-term growth, it has historically operated at less than 25% of capacity. The Company is converting the Maple Grove facility to a research and development facility in 2022 to focus its resources on internal drug discovery programs. Cost of goods sold for service revenue includes internal labor, materials and allocated overhead costs to perform services for DaaS projects.

 

Operating Expenses from Continuing Operations

 

The Company classifies its operating expenses into three categories: research and development, selling, general and administrative as well as merger related costs. Operating expenses principally consist of personnel costs including non-cash stock-based compensation, outside services, laboratory consumables, rent, overhead, disease model development costs, and marketing program costs, legal and accounting fees.

 

Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses reflect the personnel related expenses, overhead and lab consumable costs to develop its microOrgan technology at its La Jolla, California and Maple Grove, Minnesota facilities. The Company intends to accelerate its drug discovery activities in 2022 and beyond.

 

23

 

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses consist principally of personnel-related expenses, insurance, professional fees, such as legal, accounting, occupancy costs and other general expenses including travel and entertainment expenses.

 

Merger Related Costs. Merger related costs are direct professional service and investor banker costs incurred by the Company in connection with the Merger.

 

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. Many of the Company’s customers worldwide were impacted by COVID-19 and temporarily closed their facilities which impacted revenue in the first half of 2020. While the impact of the pandemic on our business lessened in 2021, the global outbreak of COVID-19 has continued in 2022 with new variants and has impacted the way we operate our business, including remote working, including its impact on technology security risks and employee retention. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may impact the Company’s future business will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as, the duration of the outbreak, travel restrictions and social distancing in the U.S. and other countries, business closures or business disruptions, and the effectiveness of actions taken in the U.S. and other countries to contain and treat the disease.

 

The Company is actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, results of operations and financial condition. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will directly or indirectly impact the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition in the future is unknown at this time and will depend on future developments that are highly unpredictable.

 

As the Merger was consummated at the close of business on March 30, 2021, the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 includes three months and one day of operations associated with the historical CGI business. Further, as noted in Note 3. Discontinuing Operations, to the condensed consolidated financial statements included herein, the vivoPharm business has been classified as discontinuing operations commencing in the fourth quarter of 2021. Therefore, the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 have been retroactively restated to reflect the vivoPharm business as discontinuing operations.

Operating results: Comparison for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021

 

Revenue from Continuing Operations

 

Total revenue decreased 50%, or $164 thousand, to $165 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with $329 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021.

 

Total revenue decreased 12%, or $64 thousand, to $468 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with $532 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The decrease in the current-year periods were the result of our planned decrease in revenue generating activities at our Maple Grove facility as we transition its operations to an internal research and development facility in 2022. Product revenue increased in the current-year periods as compared with the prior-year periods, primarily from increased shipping volumes as we wind down our customer sales, as well as increased pricing.

 

Cost of Goods Sold from Continuing Operations

 

Cost of goods sold – service aggregated $103 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021, resulting in a cost of goods sold of 48% of service revenue. The 2021 period was negatively impacted by incremental costs incurred to achieve contract deliverables. All service revenue contracts were completed in the first quarter of 2022 resulting in no service revenue or cost of sales in the second quarter of 2022.

 

Cost of goods sold – service aggregated $38 thousand and $167 thousand, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, resulting in a cost of goods sold of 40% and 54%, respectively, of service revenue. The 2022 period was favorably impacted by a higher margin project and the 2021 period was negatively impacted by incremental costs incurred to achieve contract deliverables.

 

Cost of goods sold – product aggregated $304 thousand and $345 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, resulting in cost of goods sold gross margin deficits of $139 thousand and $229 thousand. Cost of goods sold – product aggregated $652 thousand and $741 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, resulting in respective cost of goods sold gross margin deficits of $278 thousand and $519 thousand. The decrease in cost of goods sold margin deficits in the current-year periods as compared with the prior-year periods was the result of increased revenue, a decrease in scrap materials and our focus on transforming our Maple Grove location to a research and development facility in 2022.

 

Operating Expenses from Continuing Operations

 

Research and development expenses increased by 85%, or $778 thousand, to $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from $910 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Research and development expenses increased by 87%, or $1.5 million, to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 from $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This increase is principally due to a $853 thousand increase in payroll-related and consulting expenses, a $417 thousand increase in research and development activities at our Maple Grove facility, and $230 thousand related to moving to a new facility in California in order to reduce our annual lease expense in that location.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by 8%, or $228 thousand, to $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by 33%, or $1.3 million, to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The 2021 period reflects the Company as a privately-held company during the first quarter whereas the 2022 period reflects the Company as a publicly-held company. The six months ended June 30, 2022 includes incremental $717 thousand of payroll-related expenses, including one-time severance benefits for two former employees of $437 thousand. The Company incurred $418 thousand of additional professional fees in 2022 compared to the same prior year period.

 

Merger related costs for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were $2.3 million. These professional service-related costs and investment banker fees were incurred related to the Merger.

Other Expenses, net from Continuing Operations

 

Total other income, net was not significant for the quarter ended June 30, 2022 and 2021.

 

Total other income, net was not significant for the six months ended June 30, 2022. Total other expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 was $2.9 million, which consisted of a $250 thousand mark-to-market loss for an embedded compound derivative from the 2020 Convertible Notes, $2.5 million loss on the conversion of these notes to equity upon the closing of the Merger, a $214 thousand mark to market warrant liability gain, and interest expense of $368 thousand primarily related to the 2020 Convertible Notes.

 

Discontinuing Operations

 

In connection with the Merger, the Company was deemed to be the accounting acquiror of the vivoPharm business on March 30, 2021. Therefore, the vivoPharm business is reflected in discontinued operations for three months and one day in the period ended June 30, 2021.

 

In the three months ended June 30, 2022, the vivoPharm business generated $1.7 million in revenue and incurred a $1.5 million non-cash net impairment loss. During the second quarter of 2022, the Company received two offers for mutually exclusive components of the vivoPharm business and assessed the carrying value of each asset group using the estimated net sales proceeds based on these non-binding offers.

 

In the six months ended June 30, 2022, the vivoPharm business generated $3.0 million in revenue and incurred a $6.2 million net loss. This net loss includes a goodwill impairment charge of $2.2 million and an impairment charge of $3.6 million for intangible assets arising from the Merger. The impairment loss of $5.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was the result of changes in market valuations for contract research organizations in the first quarter of March 31, 2022 as well as the consideration of the two non-binding offers received in the second quarter of 2022 for mutually exclusive components of the vivoPharm business.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

The Company’s operating activities have been primarily funded with proceeds from the sale of convertible notes and preferred stock securities. Prior to the Merger, CGI’s primary sources of liquidity had been cash collections from its customers and funds generated from debt and equity financings. The Company is expected to generate minimal revenue from the StemoniX business during 2022 as it winds down its revenue producing operations to support its internal drug discovery programs. The Company had cash and cash equivalents of $11.7 million as of June 30, 2022. The Company’s management has projected that the Company’s cash on hand, together with the net proceeds from the planned sale of the vivoPharm business during 2022 and proceeds from future sales of common stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreement with Lincoln Park Capital, LLC as well as the at-the-market financing with Canaccord Genuity, will be adequate to fund the Company’s currently planned operations into early 2024. Such estimate may prove to be wrong, and we could use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect, and/or the capital resources that we are assuming will be present could fail to materialize at the amounts we project or at all.

 

26

 

 

The Company expects to continue to incur operating losses in the future, unless and until the Company’s drug discovery efforts or other revenue from collaborators are able to demonstrate a level of success that would lead to potential out- licensing or sale of therapeutic assets. In addition, the Company will continue to incur the costs of being public, including legal and audit fees and director’s and officer’s liability insurance. These losses have had, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on the Company’s working capital, total assets and stockholders’ equity. Because of the numerous risks and uncertainties associated with drug discovery and development efforts and costs associated with being a public company, the Company is unable to predict when it will become profitable, and it may never become profitable. Even if the Company does achieve profitability, it may not be able to sustain or increase profitability on a quarterly or annual basis. The Company’s inability to achieve and then maintain profitability would negatively affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

 

Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC Agreement

 

On March 28, 2022, the Company entered into a purchase agreement, or Purchase Agreement, with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), which, subject to the terms and conditions, provides that the Company has the right to sell to Lincoln Park and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $15.0 million of its common shares. Additionally, on March 28, 2022, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with Lincoln Park, pursuant to which the Company agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), covering the resale of shares of common stock issued to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement. In addition, under the Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to issue a commitment fee of 405,953 common shares, or the Commitment Shares, as consideration for Lincoln Park entering into the Purchase Agreement. Under the Purchase Agreement, the Company may from time to time for 30 months following May 9, 2022 (the “Commencement Date”), at its discretion, direct Lincoln Park to purchase on any single business day, or a Regular Purchase, up to (i) 50,000 common shares, (ii) 75,000 common shares if the closing sale price of its common shares is not below $1.50 per share on Nasdaq or (iii) 100,000 common shares if the closing sale price of its common shares is not below $2.50 per share on Nasdaq. In addition to Regular Purchases, the Company may also direct Lincoln Park to purchase other amounts as accelerated purchases or as additional accelerated purchases on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Purchase Agreement. In any case, Lincoln Park’s commitment in any single Regular Purchase may not exceed $1.0 million absent a mutual agreement to increase such amount. The purchase price per share for each Regular Purchase will be based on prevailing market prices of the Common Stock immediately preceding the time of sale as computed in accordance with the terms set forth in the Purchase Agreement. There are no upper limits on the price per share that Lincoln Park must pay for shares of Common Stock under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement may be terminated by the Company at any time after the Commencement Date, at its sole discretion, without any cost or penalty, by giving one business day notice to Lincoln Park to terminate the Purchase Agreement.

 

At The Market Financing

 

On April 8, 2022, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with Canaccord Genuity LLC (the “Agent”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell, from time to time, shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $20,000,000 (the “Shares”), depending on market demand, with the Agent acting as an agent for sales. Sales of the Shares may be made by any method permitted by law deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415(a)(4) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including, without limitation, sales made directly on or through the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell the Shares requested by the Company to be sold on its behalf, consistent with the Agent’s normal trading and sales practices, under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Sales Agreement. The Company has no obligation to sell any of the Shares. The Company may instruct the Agent not to sell the Shares if the sales cannot be effected at or above the price designated by the Company from time to time and the Company may at any time suspend sales pursuant to the Sales Agreement. The Company will pay the Agent a commission of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of Shares by the Agent under the Sales Agreement. The Company has also agreed to reimburse the Agent for its reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and disbursements of its counsel, in the amount of $75,000. In addition, the Company has agreed to provide customary indemnification rights to the Agent. The Offering will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the issuance and sale of all Shares subject to the Sales Agreement, or (ii) the termination of the Sales Agreement as permitted therein, including by either party at any time without liability of any party.

 

27

 

 

During the next twelve months, the Company may take further steps to raise additional capital to meet our long-term liquidity needs including, but not limited to, one or more of the following: the licensing of drug candidates with existing or new collaborative partners, possible business combinations, issuance of debt, or the issuance of common stock or other securities via private placements or public offerings. Although the Company has been successful in raising capital in the past, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on acceptable terms, if at all, and its negotiating position in capital raising efforts may worsen as existing resources are used. There is also no assurance that the Company will be able to enter into collaborative relationships that will provide sources of liquidity. Additional equity financings may be dilutive to our stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict the Company’s ability to operate as a business. Licensing or strategic collaborations may result in royalties or other terms which reduce our economic potential from products under development. If the Company is unable to raise the funds necessary to meet its long-term liquidity needs, the Company may have to delay or discontinue the development of one or more discovery programs, license out programs earlier than expected, raise funds at a significant discount or on other unfavorable terms, if at all, or sell all or a part of the business.

 

In August 2022, in connection with efforts to sell its vivoPharm subsidiary, the Company determined that certain historical vivoPharm tax returns either had not been filed or were incorrectly filed with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”). As a result of this finding, the Company determined that it is more-likely-than not that the tax exposure is not significant to the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. This conclusion is based on the specific facts related to this matter and how we believe the IRS will treat these facts. We plan to file corrective tax returns with the IRS as soon as possible. In the event the IRS does not accept our position, the Company’s tax liability could aggregate up to $3.6 million plus interest and penalties.

 

The Company’s forecast of the period of time through which its current financial resources will be adequate to support its operations and its expected operating expenses are forward-looking statements and involve risks and uncertainties. Actual results could vary materially and negatively as a result of a number of factors, including those set forth below under “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Critical Accounting Policies and Significant Estimates

 

Critical accounting policies are those policies that require the application of management’s most challenging subjective or complex judgment, often as a result of the need to make estimates about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting policies involve judgments and uncertainties that are sufficiently likely to result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no significant changes in our critical accounting policies. For a detailed description of our other critical accounting policies and significant estimates, see Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations under Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

ITEM 3: QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Not applicable.

 

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

The Company evaluated, under the supervision and with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2022, the end of the period covered by this report on Form 10-Q. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer) and its Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer) have concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level at June 30, 2022 because of the material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for potential impairment of intangible assets that existed at December 31, 2021 that has not been remediated by the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, 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. Due to the inherent limitations of control systems, not all misstatements may be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. Controls and procedures can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the above objectives have been met.

 

31

 

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Other than changes related to the remediation activities discussed below, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the six months ended June 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

 

Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

A material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was reported in “Item 9A. Controls and Procedures” of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 because the Company did not have appropriate controls related to the accounting for potential impairment of intangibles assets. After the Merger, the Company implemented the following enhancements to internal controls to address this material weakness:

 

Hired a new CFO with significant experience in internal controls, US GAAP and financial forecasting;
Established a financial planning and analysis function in June 2021 to analyze, forecast and report on the Company’s operations; and
Developed a financial model to forecast vivoPharm revenue based on inputs from management.

 

We determined that the underlying revenue forecasting model to support the determination of cash flows for our vivoPharm business contained data input errors that required additional analysis and validation during the first quarter of 2022. While these data errors did not impact our assessment of the carrying value of our vivoPharm business as of December 31, 2021, the redesign of this control and ongoing testing of its operational effectiveness will not occur until later in 2022. As a result, the Company concluded that the deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting related to revenue and cash flow forecasting would give rise to the level of a material weakness as of December 31, 2021. The Company expects to remediate this control in 2022 through enhanced data validation and management review.
