Specifically, the ASU eliminated the need for the Company to assess whether a contract on the entity’s own equity (20191-) permits settlement in unregistered shares, (122 removes certain exceptions) whether counterparty rights rank higher than shareholder’s rights, and (3) whether collateral is required. The Company recognized a cumulative effect of $9,739,000 of initially applying the ASU as an adjustment to the general principlesJanuary 1, 2022 opening balance of accumulated deficit.  Due to the recombination of the equity conversion component of our convertible debt outstanding, additional paid in Topic capital and the debt discounts of the convertible promissory notes were reduced $10,681,000 and $942,000, respectively.

The Note includes a down round provision that lowers its conversion price if the Company sells shares of common stock at a lower price per share. In February 2022, the Company sold shares of common stock at a price lower than the conversion price of the Note, resulting in a down round triggering event lowering the conversion price of the Note to $0.64 per share.  The Company determined that the triggering event created incremental value of $213,000 which was treated as a debt discount and amortized over the remaining term of the Note.  A Black-Scholes pricing model was utilized to determine the change in the before and after incremental value of the conversion option with the following inputs:

The Company amortized $213,000 and $827,000 of debt discount to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition to the amortization, the Company also recorded interest expense of $550,000 for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The interest payable balance as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 was $153,000 and $2,231,000, respectively.

On March 4, 2022, the Company amended the Credit Agreement and the Note to extend the due date by one year to March 6, 2023.  No other terms of the Note were changed as a part of the extension.  The Company performed a debt extinguishment vs. modification analysis.  The analysis determined that the extension would be considered an extinguishment from an accounting standpoint, due to the change in the value of the conversion option.  However, no gain or loss was recorded to the consolidated statement of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 as it was determined that the fair value of the Note was $10,000,000 both before and after the extension.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

HealthBanks Biotech (USA) Inc.

On November 26, 2019 the Company entered into an agreement with HealthBanks Biotech (USA) Inc. (“HealthBanks”) to form a new company called ImmuneCyte, Inc. (“ImmuneCyte”) to commercialize the Company’s proprietary cell processing platform, CAR-TXpress™, for use in immune cell banking as well as for cell-based contract development and manufacturing services (CMO/CDMO). Under the terms of the agreement, ImmuneCyte was initially owned 80% by HealthBanks and 20% by the Company. Healthbanks is a subsidiary of the Boyalife Group (USA), Inc. which is owned by Dr. Xiaochun (Chris) Xu, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors. Due to the significant influence the Company has over ImmuneCyte’s operations, the investment was accounted for by the Company using the equity method.

Between November 26, 2019 and September 30, 2020, ImmuneCyte closed on a series of investments with a private institution and qualified investors. After the investments, ImmuneCyte was owned 75.16% by HealthBanks, 18.79% by the Company and 6.05% by the private investors.

In March 2021, ImmuneCyte completed an acquisition to acquire Boyalife’s Cellular Therapy Division, for 12,000,000 shares in ImmuneCyte and Shangai KDWinfo Technology Co. Ltd. For 500,000 shares in ImmuneCyte.  Following the acquisitions, the Company’s ownership percentage in ImmuneCyte decreased from 18.79% to 8.64%.  The Company performed an analysis of the transaction and noted that none of the factors supporting significant influence changed as a result of the acquisition.  Therefore, it was concluded that significant influence remains and the Company will continue to account for the transaction using the equity method.  The Company recognized a dilution gain of $262,000 representing its share of the net assets acquired by ImmuneCyte.  However, at the time of the acquisition, the Company had accumulated losses of $428,000 in its investment in ImmuneCyte.  As the accumulated losses were greater than the dilution gain, no entry was recorded by the Company for its investment in ImmuneCyte for the quarter ended March 31, 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, the value of the Company’s investment in ImmuneCyte on its Balance Sheet is $0. For the quarter ended September 30, 2021, ImmuneCyte had a consolidated net loss of $750,000; its current assets were $3,283,000 and current liabilities were $2,970,000.

LEASES

 

The Company leases an approximately 28,0007. square foot facility located in Rancho Cordova, California for its corporate offices and in-house manufacturing. The lease was renewed in the first quarter of 2019 and is accounted for as an operating lease. The lease expires in May 2024.

Operating LeasesRevenue

Operating lease assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date. Operating lease liabilities represent the present value of lease payments not yet paid. Operating lease assets represent our right to use an underlying asset and are based upon the operating lease liabilities adjusted for prepayments or accrued lease payments, initial direct costs, lease incentives, and impairment of operating lease assets. To determine the present value of lease payments not yet paid, we use the Company’s cost of capital based on existing debt instruments. Our material leases typically contain rent escalations over the lease term. We recognize expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Planned Expansion of Business-- Contract Development and Manufacturing Services for Cell and Cell-Based Gene Therapies

In March 2022, our Board of Directors approved the planned expansion of the Company’s business to include contract development and manufacturing services for cell and cell-based gene therapies.  The Company plans to develop and build-out the capabilities to become a world-class Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (“CDMO”) for cell and cell-based gene therapies by partnering with Boyalife Genomics Tianjin Ltd., a China-based CDMO (“Boyalife Genomics”), to in-license certain know-how and other intellectual property from Boyalife Genomics, and by leasing and building out a cell manufacturing facility in Sacramento, California.  We intend to leverage our existing technology and combine it with the in-licensed technologies to develop a proprietary manufacturing platform for cell manufacturing activities.

The Company plans to develop and operate its planned CDMO business through a newly formed division named TG BiosynthesisTM.  It is anticipated that TG Biosynthesis will provide high-quality development and manufacturing capabilities, cell and tissue processing development, quality systems, regulatory compliance, and other cell manufacturing solutions for clients with therapeutic candidates in various stages of development.

We are targeting the launch of our CDMO services to customers by the end of 2022.  The successful development and launch of TG Biosynthesis will require us to raise additional capital, acquire various equipment for the planned operations, hire certain personnel needed to launch the operation, and timely complete the build-out of our leased Sacramento facility.  There is no assurance that we will be able to successfully obtain such additional capital resources, as such capital may not be available on reasonable terms, or available at all.  We will need to hire, train, and retain additional employees who have experiences in the cell manufacturing field in order for our CDMO business to be successful.

COVID-19

We believe that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a material negative impact on the Company’s business and results of operations. The pandemic had a significant impact on the cord blood industry, with fewer cord blood units being stored globally after the start of the pandemic. The continued impact of the pandemic on the Company’s business and results of operations will depend on future developments relating to the pandemic in general and the cord blood industry in particular, and such future developments are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Such developments may include the continued geographic spread of the virus, the severity of the disease, the duration of the outbreak, the actions that may be taken by various governmental authorities in response to the outbreak, and the possible continued impact on the U.S. or global economy and supply chains. As a result, at the time of this filing, it is impossible to predict the continued impact of the pandemic on the Company’s business, liquidity, capital resources and financial results.

Critical Accounting Policies

Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations is based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a full discussion of our accounting estimates and assumptions that have been identified as critical in the preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, please refer to ThermoGenesis Holdings’ Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
