ITEM 1.

BUSINESS

 

(A)

Overview of Business

 

ThermoGenesis Corp. (“the Company”, “we”, “our”) incorporated in Delaware in July 1986, designs, manufactures and distributes blood processing devices and single-use, sterile blood processing disposables that enable the manufacture of therapeutic biological products. These “enabling technologies” are sold into two distinct markets: Blood Processing and Hospital/Wound Care. The therapeutic products manufactured by these compact manufacturing systems include units of hematopoietic stem cells from placental/cord blood for bone marrow rescue transplants, blood protein surgical sealants to arrest surgical bleeding, or bond excised tissue and platelet gels to accelerate the healing of damaged bones and chronic dermal wounds.

 

The Company markets and sells its products through both a direct sales force and independent distributors. The principal geographic markets are the United States, Europe, Japan and Asia-Pacific. The Company also sells its products in Canada and Latin America.

Blood Processing

The Company currently produces and markets the BioArchive® System, Sterile Disposables and Accessories and the ThermoLineTM Ultra-Rapid Plasma Thawers and Ultra-Rapid Plasma Freezers and will soon market the newly developed AutoXpress SystemTM (“AXP”).

The BioArchive System is a robotic liquid nitrogen storage system with integrated controlled rate freezer process to cryopreserve and archive units of cord blood stem cells in liquid nitrogen (-196 degree centigrade). This automated system performs this critical process without exposing the stem cell units to harmful transient warming events (“TWE”) by eliminating manual transfers through the warm ambient air of samples from the controlled rate freezer to the quarantine freezer and, finally, to storage freezers. The robotic storage and retrieval of these stem cell units reduces losses of cell viability, provides precise inventory management and minimizes the possibility of human error.

The BioArchive Accessories and Sterile Single Use Disposables include overwrap bags, sealers, expressors, a manual retrieval device, protective storage canisters, processing bags and freezing bags. The unique three dimensional 25 ml freezer bag provides consistent sample geometry (shape, size, volume) and repeatable freeze characteristics for each stem cell unit. The BioArchive System, Accessories and Disposables are sold to both Public and Private Cord Blood Banks.

The newly developed AXP is designed to provide cord blood banks a semi automated means of collecting mono-nuclear cells (a stem cell rich population) from cord blood into a fixed volume (20 ml) within a closed sterile bag set in approximately 30 minutes. Recent Alpha testing demonstrates a recovery of viable mono-nuclear cells of >95%.

The ThermoLine Ultra-Rapid Plasma Thawers are used for rapid (< 12 minute) homogeneous thawing of frozen RBC (“red blood cells”) or FFP (“fresh frozen plasma”) before their transfusion so that emergency transfusions can be quickly administrated. This unique thawer features specialized membrane pockets which encapsulate the frozen blood products during immersion in the 37 degree C heat transfer fluid which substantially reduces maintenance requirements caused by airborne contaminants.

The Ultra-Rapid Plasma Freezers optimize plasma freezing through unique liquid heat transfer and uniform freezing technologies that can freeze units of blood plasma in about 30 minutes. The snap-seal membrane pockets accommodate plasma bags of various sizes and reduce possibility of contamination.

Conventional freezing systems rely on refrigerated air as a means of removing heat from the units of blood plasma, a technology that requires 60 to 90 minutes to freeze a unit of plasma.

The market for Ultra Rapid Plasma Freezers is concentrated within the blood banks, blood transfusion centers, and plasma collection centers around the world. Another category of customer is the facilities where plasma fractionators collect blood plasma from paid donors. These customers require large, high-capacity freezers.

 

Hospital/Wound Care

 

The Company produces the CryoSeal® Fibrin Sealant (“FS”) System and the Thrombin Processing Device (“TPD”) for the Hospital/Wound Care Market.

Fibrin sealants are adhesive gels comprised of blood derived proteins which are used by surgeons as hemostatic agents (material used to control or stop bleeding) or to glue tissue together during surgery. While sutures and staples will bring tissue edges together very effectively, they do not have inherent sealing and clotting activity or certain growth factors which induce the regeneration of damaged tissue.

Conventional “first generation” fibrin sealants are sourced from “pools” of thousands of purchased units of plasma and are used for a wide variety of surgical procedures including the major blood-loss surgeries of the cardiovascular, pulmonary, and liver regions. Fibrin sealants are used to seal needle holes, pulmonary leaks, and to seal slow oozing wounds. Fibrin sealants provide excellent adhesion for skin graft, plastic surgery procedures, and sealing the dura to prevent cerebral spinal fluid leaks.

The CryoSeal FS System simultaneously produces fibrin sealant components (fibrinogen-rich cryoprecipitate and thrombin) from a single unit of autologous or single donor plasma in about one hour. The system is convenient and easy to use with minimized “hands-on” time through system automation. The system provides one or more customized fibrin sealant kits, each containing up to 13 ml of fibrin sealant.

CryoSeal FS components are prepared in a closed system, typically from autologous plasma, which eliminates the risks associated with pooled plasma products. CryoSeal FS is 100% human and contains no bovine or animal components and no synthetics.

CryoSeal FS has CE Mark approval and is available in Europe, Latin America and Canada. In the U.S., the Company has completed its enrollment for the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Phase III clinical trial required to submit its Pre-Market Approval ("PMA") for utilizing CryoSeal sealant to achieve hemostasis after liver resection surgery.

The TPD is available as part of the CryoSeal FS System and also as a stand alone product. It is a unique, sterile single use disposable, which can produce approximately 8 ml of activated thrombin from an 11 ml aliquot of the patient’s blood or blood plasma.

(B)     CLINICAL SUMMARY STATUS

 

Other than initial filing of applications, completion of patient enrollment and final agency approval of such applications, the Company does not comment on the day-to-day details of ongoing clinical activities.

 

CryoSeal FS System:

 

 

(1)

As of July 15, 2001 the Company successfully completed the pre-clinical studies designed to characterize CryoSeal Fibrin Sealant for our Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”) submission to the FDA:

 

 

Chemical Characterization of the Thrombin and Fibrinogen and Protein-rich Cryoprecipitate. In vitro assays were performed to demonstrate the reproducibility of the system and its performance across a significant sampling of donor plasmas, the impact of system variables on system performance, including fresh vs. frozen plasma, starting plasma volume and the type of anticoagulant present, the protein composition as well as the short and long term stability of the final thrombin and cryoprecipitate preparations.

 

 

Determination of Tensile Strength of the Thrombin and Fibrinogen-rich Cryoprecipitate. In vitro tensile (mechanical) strength measurements were performed on CryoSeal Fibrin Sealant, as well as a commercial fibrin sealant, using equipment designed for such purpose.

 

 

Demonstration of Pre-Clinical Efficacy of CryoSeal Fibrin Sealant during Pig Liver Resectioning. An in vivo animal model, pig liver resectioning, was performed to refine the technique of applying the CryoSeal Fibrin Sealant to the surgical site, determination of the time to hemostasis.  

 

 

(2)

In March of 2001, the right to affix the CE Mark to the CryoSeal FS System was granted by the Company’s European Notified Body, thus allowing initiation of commercial activities within the European Community. A number of European clinical studies have taken place and others are planned during fiscal year 2006 to demonstrate the product’s efficacy with a wide array of surgical procedures in different countries.

 

 

(3)

In August 2001, an IDE was filed with the FDA requesting approval to initiate Phase III human clinical trials testing CryoSeal sealant as an adjunct to hemostasis on a resected liver.

 

 

(4)

On July 31, 2002, the Company announced that an independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (“DSMB”), comprised of surgeons, a biostatician and an ethicist, recommended proceeding with the multi-center pivotal trial for the CryoSeal FS System after completing an interim analysis of the safety data.

 

 

(5)

As of June 22, 2005, the Company completed enrollment of the 150 patients into the Phase III clinical study at multiple US teaching hospitals. FDA approval of a Pre-Market Approval Application (“PMAA”) containing the Phase III clinical trial results will enable the Company to immediately initiate commercial activities for the CryoSeal FS System in the United States.

Non-US Clinical Studies

 

 

(1)

Bellaria-Maggiore Hospital in Bologna, conducted a study titled, “Production and Use of Fibrin Glue at Blood Transfusion Service of Bellaria-Maggiore Hosptial Bologna”. The authors report on a retrospective controlled evaluation of the efficacy and safety of autologous CryoSeal FS Fibrin Sealant. The thirty (30) patients receiving CryoSeal FS had a significantly lower number of blood units transfused and were significantly less anemic at discharge. In addition, the evaluation shows shorter hospital stay in the group receiving CryoSeal FS.

 

 

(2)

St. Michael’s Hospital, University of Toronto Canada compared the quantity of additional allogenic blood needed for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (“CABG”) procedures in cases where the CryoSeal FS System was used versus the use of pre-operative autologous donation (“PAD”) alone. There were 21 patients included in the study. They found that using PAD and CryoSeal compared with using PAD only decreased the usage of allogenic blood from 2.5 units to 1.25 units/transfused patient.

 

 

(3)

Mercuriali et al., study titled, “Efficacy of ‘Home-Made’ Fibrin Glue in Reducing Bleeding in Liver Resections”, reported a comparison of using CryoSeal FS and commercial fibrin sealant on patients undergoing liver resections. The results show that using CryoSeal FS gives similar outcomes compared with Tisseel from Baxter. There were 30 patients included in the study.

 

 

(4)

Ottawa Civic Hospital is conducting a randomized trial to evaluate hemostasis in surgical procedures for ear, nose and throat using the CryoSeal FS System. The study involves one-hundred (100) patients and is on-going.

 

 

(5)

Asahi Medical Ltd. has completed and submitted its PMA resulting from the CryoSeal FS clinical study in Japan. The study evaluated the hemostatic ability of the CryoSeal Fibrin Sealant during multiple surgical procedures. There were 70 patients included in the study. Asahi filed the equivalent of a PMA with the data in March 2005 with the Japanese Ministry of Health.

 

 

(6)

Giessen University Hospital in Germany is conducting a blinded, randomized trial to study the reduction of blood loss in Total Knee Replacement Surgery when using CryoSeal autologous fibrin sealant. The study involves 40 study patients (treated with CryoSeal fibrin sealant) and 40 control patients (no fibrin sealant used). This study is a follow-up to the pilot clinical study that was conducted in Giessen, where patients treated with CryoSeal FS had 50% less blood loss than the control patients.

 

 

(7)

Nijmegen Hospital in the Netherlands, where clinical tests are to be carried out in order to obtain clinical data for the reduction of perioperative loss of blood in total hip surgery, achieved by the use of autologous fibrin glue (“AFG”). The study involves 40 patients (treated with CryoSeal fibrin sealant) and 40 control patients (no fibrin sealant used).

(C)     Competition

 

Blood Processing

 

 

Cord Blood Banking and Cell Therapy

 

The competition for the BioArchive System is limited to manufacturers of individual cryogenic components (dewars, controlled rate freezers, etc.) of conventional systems, such as Taylor Wharton and MVE.

The Company anticipates greater demand for the BioArchive System and compatible disposables as cell therapy companies work to develop blood cell therapy products that are individually prepared for the end patient and provide the manufacturer with greater logistical flexibility. This could lead to other competitors emerging to provide various products which deliver one or more of the needed enabling technologies for the future growth of the cell therapy industry.

 

 

Freezers: North American Competitors

 

In North America, the major manufacturers of Plasma Freezers are the Company and Forma Scientific, Revco and Hereus brands owned by Thermoelectron. ThermoGenesis Corp. utilizes a liquid heat transfer freezing method while the competitive products freeze products with refrigerated air.

 

Thawers: North American Competitors

 

In North America, the major manufacturers of Plasma Thawers are the Company, Helmer, Cytotherm and Genesis.

Hospital/Wound Care Market

 

 

Commercial Fibrin Sealants

 

The Company is aware of six companies which have developed or are developing commercial fibrin glues: Angiotech Biomaterials, Baxter, Hemacure, Aventis, Vivolution and Omrix Pharmaceuticals (“Omrix”). To date, Angiotech Biomaterials, Baxter, Hemacure, and Omrix have received FDA approval to market their products in the U.S.

The main competitor is Baxter, which markets Tisseel/Tissucol in the U.S., Europe, South America, Japan and other countries in Asia.

Aventis markets Beriplast in Europe and Japan, Beriplast is not available in the U.S.

 

TPD

 

The only competition for the ThermoGenesis TPD in the U.S. is bovine thrombin.

 

 

7

 

 



 

In Europe, two companies, Medtronic and Harvest Technologies offer a thrombin processing device which is integrated in their platelet gel systems.

 

(D)

Research and Development

 

The Company is focused on the development of new products that support the blood processing and hospital/wound care markets, as well as on improvements and line extensions to existing products. The future research and development activities of the Company will be devoted to complete the development, and launch of the AXP System, completion of the clinical trial data analysis and PMA submission to the FDA for the CryoSeal FS System and additional products or significant upgrades to existing products associated with the BioArchive and CryoSeal product platforms. Research and Development expense reflects the cost of these activities, as well as the costs to obtain regulatory approvals of new products and processes and to maintain the highest quality standards with respect to existing products. The Company’s research and development expenses were $5,673,000 or 56% of net revenues in 2005, $3,472,000 or 30% of net revenues in 2004 and $2,937,000 or 29% of net revenues in 2003. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”

Description of Device Manufacturing  

 

The Company is currently manufacturing or assembling all major instruments and equipment sold by the Company, as well as manufacturing a limited number of its disposable products (Thrombin Reagent and the BioArchive Overwrap Bag). The manufacturing site is compliant to the FDA’s Quality System Regulations (“QSR”), the European ISO 9001 and ISO 13485. The Company believes that vendors used by the Company are capable of producing sufficient quantities of all required components. Products manufactured or sold by the Company are warranted against defect in manufacture for major instrument equipment for a period of 12 months from shipment or installation, as applicable, when used for the equipment’s intended purpose, which warranties exclude consequential damages to the extent allowed by law.

 

Instrument Manufacturing- The Company manufactures the BioArchive instrument, CryoSeal System, Ultra Rapid Plasma Freezers and Ultra Rapid Plasma Thawers at its ISO 9001 and FDA Compliant Rancho Cordova, CA facility. The Company also intends to manufacture the AXP at this same facility. The Company assembles the hardware from multiple subassemblies supplied by a wide base of skilled suppliers. However, the Company manufactures certain sub-assemblies, e.g., the BioArchive robotic, barcode-reading periscope, in their entirety at the Rancho Cordova facility. All parts and subassemblies are procured from pre-approved and qualified suppliers. Trained ThermoGenesis employees inspect incoming parts and sub-assemble products and perform final QC release based on performance criteria. All processes conform to QSR standards and are either verified or validated to internal protocol to ensure products meet their specification.

 

Disposables Manufacturing- The Company utilizes qualified and pre-approved contract manufacturers with FDA registered facilities that we believe have the technical capability and production capacity to manufacture our CryoSeal and BioArchive disposables. However, there are two disposables that we manufacture in house.

 

Thrombin Reagent and BioArchive Overwrap Bag Manufacturing- The manufacturing process for the Thrombin Reagent occurs at two different facilities, ThermoGenesis Corp. and at a contract manufacturer. We perform the initial manufacturing processes at our manufacturing facilities. After filling and sealing the syringes at our facility, the syringes are shipped to our contract manufacturer where they are sterilized, individually labeled and packaged. Our Quality Assurance Department determines if the product meets its manufacturing standards, allowing final product release. All

 

 

8

 

 



 

processes associated with the manufacture of the BioArchive overwrap-bag occur at the Company’s manufacturing facility.

 

The majority of the materials used to produce the Company’s products are readily available from various sources. Based upon current information from manufacturers, the Company does not anticipate any shortage of supply. In the event that it becomes necessary for us to obtain raw materials from an alternative supplier, we would first be required to qualify the quality assurance systems and product of that alternative supplier.

 

We, as well as any contract manufacturers of our products, are subject to inspections by the FDA and other regulatory agencies for compliance with applicable good manufacturing practices, codified in the QSR’s which include requirements relating to manufacturing conditions, extensive testing, control documentation and other quality assurance procedures. Our facilities have undergone an ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 and Medical Device Directives (“MDD”) inspection, in preparation for obtaining a CE Mark on our products, in addition to an FDA and State Food and Drug inspections. Failure to obtain or maintain necessary regulatory approval to market our products would have a material adverse impact on our business. See “Factors Affecting Operating Results.”

 

(F)

Government Regulation

 

The product development, pre-clinical and clinical testing, manufacturing, labeling, distribution, sales, marketing, advertising and promotion of the Company’s research, investigational, and medical devices are subject to extensive government regulation in the United States, and also in other countries. These national agencies and other federal, state and local entities regulate, among other things, development activities and the testing (in vitro and in clinical trials), manufacture, safety, effectiveness, labeling, storage, record keeping, approval, advertising and promotion of our products.

 

The extent of the process required by the FDA before a medical device may be marketed in the United States depends on the classification of device. If the medical device is a Class III such as the CryoSeal FS System, the process includes the following:

 

Extensive pre-clinical laboratory and animal testing;

 

Submission and approval of an IDE application;

 

Human clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the medical device for the intended indication; and

 

Submission and approval of a PMA to the FDA.

 

Pre-clinical tests include laboratory evaluation of product chemistry/biochemistry and animal studies to assess the potential safety of the product. Safety testing includes tests such as biocompatibility, package integrity and stability. Pre-clinical tests must be performed by laboratories that comply with the FDA’s Good Laboratory Practices (“GLP”) regulations. The results of the pre-clinical tests are submitted to the FDA as part of an IDE application and are reviewed by the FDA before human clinical trials can begin. Human clinical trials begin when IDE approval is granted.

 

Clinical trials involve the application of the medical device or biologic produced by the medical device to patients by a qualified medical investigator according to an approved protocol and approval from an Institutional Review Board (“IRB”). Clinical trials are conducted in accordance with FDA regulations

 

 

9

 

 



 

and an approved protocol that detail the objectives of the study, the parameters to be used to monitor participant safety and efficacy or other criteria to be evaluated. Each protocol is submitted to the FDA as part of the IDE. Each clinical study is conducted under the approval of an IRB. The IRB considers, among other things, ethical factors, the potential risks to subjects participating in the trial and the possible liability of the institution. The IRB also approves the consent form signed by the trial participants.

 

Medical device clinical trials are typically conducted as a phase III clinical trial. A safety pilot trial may be performed prior to initiating the phase III clinical trial to determine the safety of the product for specific targeted indications to determine dosage tolerance, optimal dosage and means of application and to identify possible adverse effects and safety risks. Phase III trials are undertaken to confirm the clinical efficacy and safety of the product within an expanded patient population at geographically dispersed clinical study sites. The FDA, the clinical trial sponsor, the investigators or the IRB may suspend clinical trials at any time if any one of them believes that study participants are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk.

 

The results of product development, pre-clinical studies and clinical studies are submitted to the FDA as a PMA for approval of the marketing and commercial shipment of the medical device in the United States. The FDA may deny a PMA if applicable regulatory criteria are not satisfied or may require additional clinical testing. Even if the appropriate data is submitted, the FDA may ultimately decide the PMA does not satisfy the criteria for approval. Product approvals, once obtained, may be withdrawn if compliance with regulatory standards is not maintained or if safety concerns arise after the product reaches the market. The FDA may require post-marketing testing and surveillance programs to monitor the effect of the medical devices that have been commercialized and has the power to prevent or limit future marketing of the product based on the results of such programs.

 

Each domestic manufacturing establishment in California must be registered with the FDA and the California State Food and Drug Branch. Domestic manufacturing establishments are subject to biennial inspections by the FDA and annual inspections by the State of California for compliance with the QSRs. We are also subject to U.S. federal, state, and local regulations regarding workplace safety, environmental protection and hazardous materials and controlled substance regulations, among others. The Company has a California Environmental Protection Agency Identification number for the disposal of biohazardous waste from its research and development biological lab.

 

Some of our products which have a lower potential safety risk to the intended user or patient, and which have similar, competitive products previously cleared by the FDA for the same intended indication, may utilize a simpler and shorter regulatory path called a Premarket Notification or a 510(k) application to gain commercial access to the marketplace. This regulatory process requires that the Company demonstrate substantial equivalence to a product which was on the market prior to May 29, 1976, or which has been found substantially equivalent after that date.

 

Some of our products that have minimal risk to the intended user and do not involve direct patient interaction may be deemed by the FDA as being exempt from FDA review. These products still require compliance with QSRs.

 

Failure to comply with applicable FDA requirements can result in fines, injunctions, civil penalties, recall or seizure of products, total or partial suspension of production, distribution, sales and marketing, or refusal of the FDA to grant approval of a PMA or clearance of a 510(k). Actions by the FDA might also include withdrawal of marketing clearances and criminal prosecution. Such actions could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, and results of operation.

 

 

 

10

 

 



 

 

(G)        Patents and Proprietary Rights

 

The Company believes that patent protection is important for products and potential segments of its current and proposed business. In the United States, the Company currently holds nineteen (19) patents, and has seven (7) patents pending to protect the designs of products which the Company intends to market. There can be no assurance, however, as to the breadth or degree of protection afforded to the Company or the competitive advantage derived by the Company from current patents and future patents, if any. Although the Company believes that its patents and the Company’s existing and proposed products do not infringe upon patents of other parties, it is possible that the Company’s existing patent rights may be challenged and found invalid or found to violate proprietary rights of others. In the event any of the Company’s products are challenged as infringing, the Company would be required to modify the design of its product, obtain a license or litigate the issue. There is no assurance that the Company would be able to finance costly patent litigation, or that it would be able to obtain licenses or modify its products in a timely manner. Failure to defend a patent infringement action or to obtain a license or implementation of modifications would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s continued operations.

 

While patents have been issued or are pending, the Company realizes (a) that the Company will benefit from patents issued only if it is able to market its products in sufficient quantities of which there is no assurance; (b) that substitutes for these patented items, if not already in existence, may be developed; (c) that the granting of a patent is not a determination of the validity of a patent, such validity can be attacked in litigation or the Company or owner of the patent may be forced to institute legal proceedings to enforce validity; and (d) that the costs of such litigation, if any, could be substantial and could adversely affect the Company.

 

(H)

Factors Affecting Future Results

 

We Have Incurred Net Losses since Our Inception and Expect Losses to Continue. Except for net income of $11,246 for fiscal 1994, we have not been profitable since our inception. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, we had a net loss of $8,220,000, and an accumulated deficit at June 30, 2005, of $67,710,000. We will continue to incur significant costs as we continue our efforts to develop and market our current systems and related applications. Although we are executing on our business plan to develop and market launch new products, continuing losses may impair our ability to fully meet our objectives for new product sales.

 

We May Need to Raise Additional Capital in the Future to Fund Our Operations. We May be Unable to Raise Funds When Needed or on Acceptable Terms. During the year ended June 30, 2005, our operating activities used cash of $7,931,000. As of June 30, 2005, we had cash on hand of $9,568,000. Based on our cash balance, historical trends, planned cost reductions and future projections, we believe our current funds are sufficient to provide for our projected needs to maintain operations for at least the next 12 months. However, if actual sales do not meet expectations, or product development, marketing, production and clinical trial costs increase significantly, we may need to seek additional financing. Any additional equity financings may be dilutive to our existing stockholders.

 

We Have Limited Testing Data and Must Complete Further Testing Successfully in Order to Gain FDA Approval Required to Market our CryoSeal Fibrin Sealant System in the United States. The Company is completing the pivotal trial of its CryoSeal FS System in the United States. While these studies provide a basis to achieve regulatory permission to promote these systems for some of the indications that management believes can be achieved, they do not provide a basis to achieve all of the indications. Further clinical studies must be performed. There can be no assurance that the clinical studies can be successfully completed within the Company’s expected time frame and budget, or that the Company’s

 

 

11

 

 



 

products will prove effective in the required clinical trials. If the Company is unable to conclude successfully the clinical trials of its products in development, the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.

 

Our Failure to Develop New Products Will Adversely Affect Our Future Growth. Historically, substantially all of our sales have been from products related to freezing, thawing, and storing of blood plasma. Because we expect this segment of the blood plasma market to have limited growth potential, new products for the biotechnology market will have to be successfully developed and marketed for future growth. Recently, the BioArchive product line has been a significant contributor to our revenues. We are currently focused on increasing our BioArchive product line revenues, marketing novel blood processing systems such as the CryoSeal FS System for the automated production of autologous or allogeneic blood components used as fibrin sealants and developing stand-alone disposable products in each product line such as the TPD and AXP. Although the CryoSeal product and the stand-alone disposables use technology related to our core competencies, they also represent a departure from our former core blood plasma business. Further, although we have had discussions with experts in areas of application for these products, they are still in the development and/or initial market phase. No assurance can be given that potential products can be successfully developed, and if developed, that a market will also accept them.

 

Our Business is Heavily Regulated, Resulting in Increased Costs of Operations and Delays in Product Sales. Most of our products require FDA approval to sell in the U.S and will require clearance from comparable agencies to sell our products in foreign countries. These clearances may limit the U.S. or foreign market in which our products may be sold or circumscribe applications for U.S. or foreign markets in which our products may be sold. Although the majority of our products related to freezing blood components are currently exempt from the requirement to file a 510(k) pre-market application, that situation may change in the future as the FDA moves to regulate cell therapy products being processed by the BioArchive System and/or AXP. In anticipation of possible future regulation by the FDA, the Company has filed, and is maintaining, a Master File on the BioArchive System and intends to file a Master file on the AXP prior to market release. However, currently the BioArchive and the ThermoLine products are being marketed and sold worldwide. Further, our products must be manufactured under principals of our quality system for continued CE Marking that allows our products to be marketed and sold in Europe, which are similar to the quality system regulations of both the FDA and California Department of Health. Failure to comply with those quality system requirements and regulations may subject the Company to delays in production while it corrects any deficiency found by either the FDA, the State of California or the Company’s Notifying European Body during any audit of our quality system. With limited working capital and resources there is no assurance that we will not be found to be out of compliance, resulting in warning letters or even temporarily shut down in manufacturing while the non-conformances are rectified.

 

We are Dependent on our Suppliers and Manufacturers to Meet Existing Regulations. Certain of our suppliers and manufacturers are subject to heavy government regulations, including FDA approval in the operation of their facilities, products and manufacturing processes. Any adverse action by the FDA against our suppliers or manufacturers could delay supply or manufacture of component products required to be integrated or sold with our products. There are no assurances we will be successful in locating an alternative supplier or manufacturer to meet product shipment or launch deadlines. As a result, our sales, contractual commitments and financial forecasts may be significantly affected by any such delays.

 

Influence By the Government and Insurance Companies May Adversely Impact Sales of Our Products. Our business may be materially affected by continuing efforts by government, third party payers such as Medicare, Medicaid, and private health insurance plans, to reduce the costs of healthcare. For example, in certain foreign markets the pricing and profit margins of certain healthcare products are subject to

 

 

12

 

 



 

government controls. In addition, increasing emphasis on managed care in the U.S. will continue to place pressure on the pricing of healthcare products. As a result, continuing effort to contain healthcare costs may result in reduced sales or price reductions for our products. To date, we are not aware of any direct impact on our pricing or product sales due to such efforts by governments to contain healthcare costs, and we do not anticipate any immediate impact in the near future.

 

Our Inability to Protect Our Patents, Trademarks, and Other Proprietary Rights could Adversely Impact Our Competitive Position. We believe that our patents, trademarks, and other proprietary rights are important to our success and our competitive position. Accordingly, we devote substantial resources to the establishment and protection of our patents, trademarks, and proprietary rights. We currently hold patents for products, and have patents pending for additional products that we market or intend to market. However, our actions to establish and protect our patents, trademarks, and other proprietary rights may be inadequate to prevent imitation of our products by others or to prevent others from claiming violations of their trademarks and proprietary rights by us. If our products are challenged as infringing upon patents of other parties, we will be required to modify the design of the product, obtain a license, or litigate the issues, all of which may have an adverse business effect on us.

 

Failure to Protect Our Trade Secrets May Assist Our Competitors. We use various methods, including confidentiality agreements with employees, vendors, and customers, to protect our trade secrets and proprietary know-how for our products. However, such methods may not provide complete protection and there can be no assurance that others will not obtain our know-how, or independently develop the same or similar technology. We prepare and file for patent protection on aspects of our technology which we think will be integrated into final products early in design phases, thereby attempting to mitigate the potential risks.

 

Competition in Our Industry is Intense and Will Likely Involve Companies with Greater Resources than We Have. We hope to develop a competitive advantage in the medical applications of our products, but there are many competitors that are substantially larger and who possess greater financial resources and personnel than we have. Our current principal market is the users of ultra-rapid blood plasma freezing and thawing equipment and cord blood banks. There are companies that sell freezers to the blood plasma freezing industry that are larger and possess greater financial and other resources than we do. The CryoSeal System may face competition from major plasma fractionators that currently sell fibrin glue sourced from pooled plasma outside the U.S. With regard to the BioArchive System, numerous larger and better-financed medical device manufacturers may choose to enter this market as it develops.

 

We Have a Limited Marketing and Sales Force for New Products Which May Delay Our Goal of Increased Sales Levels. We currently sell our existing medical devices through a direct sales and marketing force, and our foreign distribution network. Although we have entered into exclusive distribution agreements for our two new platform products and we continue to seek strategic partners, there are no assurances that the distributors will produce significant sales of the systems.

 

Our Lack of Production Experience May Delay Producing Our New Products. We have manufactured our Blood Plasma Thawers, Freezers and BioArchive Systems for a number of years. Although we have redesigned our manufacturing facility to accommodate the BioArchive System and the CryoSeal System, we do not have significant experience in manufacturing the CryoSeal System or in the manufacture of disposables. There can be no assurance that our current resources and manufacturing facility could handle a significant increase in orders for either the BioArchive System or the CryoSeal System. If we are unable to meet demand for sales of the new systems, we would need to contract with third-party manufacturers for the backlog, and no assurances can be made that such third-party manufacturers can be retained, or retained on terms favorable to us and our pricing of the equipment. Inability to have products

 

 

13

 

 



 

manufactured by third parties at a competitive price will erode anticipated margins for such products, and negatively impact our profitability.

 

Our New Products Are at Initial Market Introduction, and We Are Not Sure the Market Will Accept Them. The market acceptance of our new products in development will depend upon the medical community and third-party payers accepting the products as clinically useful, reliable, accurate, and cost effective compared to existing and future products or procedures. Market acceptance will also depend on our ability to adequately train technicians on how to use the CryoSeal System and the BioArchive System. Even if our new product systems are clinically adopted, the use may not be recommended by the medical profession or hospitals unless acceptable reimbursement from health care and third party payers is available. Failure of either of these new systems to achieve significant market share could have material adverse effects on our long term business, financial condition, and results of operation.

 

Failure to Keep Our Key Personnel May Adversely Affect Our Operations. Failure to retain skilled personnel could hinder our operations. Our future success partially depends upon the continued services of key technical and senior management personnel. Our future success also depends on our continuing ability to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified managerial and technical personnel. The inability to retain or attract qualified personnel could have a significant negative effect upon our efforts and thereby materially harm our business and financial condition. We have entered into employment agreements with each member of our senior management. Specifically, we are dependent upon the experience and services of Philip H. Coelho, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Kevin Simpson, our President and Chief Operating Officer. We have obtained key man life insurance covering Mr. Coelho in the amount of $2,000,000 as some protection against the risk.

 

Product Liability and Uninsured Risks May Adversely Affect the Continuing Operations. We may be liable if any of our products cause injury, illness, or death. We also may be required to recall certain of our products should they become damaged or if they are defective. We are not aware of any material product liability claim against us. Further, we maintain a general liability policy that includes product liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 per year in the aggregate. However, a product liability claim against us could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition.

 

Dependence on Suppliers for Custom Components may Impact the Production Schedule. The Company obtains certain custom components from a limited number of suppliers. If the supplier raises the price of the component or discontinues production, the Company will have to find another qualified supplier to provide the component. In the event that it becomes necessary for us to find another supplier, we would first be required to qualify the quality assurance systems and product of that alternative supplier. Any transfer between qualified suppliers may impact the production schedule, therefore delaying revenues, and may cause the price of the key components to increase.

 

A Significant Portion of our Sales is to Customers in Foreign Countries. We may Lose Revenues, Market Share, and Profits due to Exchange Rate Fluctuations and Other Factors related to our Foreign Business. In the year ended June 30, 2005, sales to customers in foreign countries comprised approximately 67% of our revenues. Our foreign business is subject to economic, political and regulatory uncertainties and risks that are unique to each area of the world. Fluctuations in exchange rates may also affect the prices that our foreign customers are willing to pay, and may put us at a price disadvantage compared to other competitors. Potentially volatile shifts in exchange rates may negatively affect our financial condition and operations.

 

All of our Operations are Conducted at a Single Location. Any Disruption at our Facility could Delay Revenues or Increase our Expenses. All of our operations are conducted at a single location although we

 

 

14

 

 



 

do contract our manufacturing of certain disposables and components. We take precautions to safeguard our facility, including insurance, health and safety protocols, and off-site storage of computer data. However, a natural disaster, such as a fire, flood or earthquake, could cause substantial delays in our operations, damage or destroy our manufacturing equipment or inventory, and cause us to incur additional expenses. The insurance we maintain against fires, floods, and other natural disasters may not be adequate to cover our losses in any particular case.

 

The Preparation of our Financial Statements in Accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Requires Us to Make Estimates, Judgments, and Assumptions that may Ultimately Prove to be Incorrect. The accounting estimates and judgments that management must make in the ordinary course of business affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. If the underlying estimates are ultimately proven to be incorrect, subsequent adjustments could have a material adverse effect on our operating results for the period or periods in which the change is identified. Additionally, subsequent adjustments could require us to restate our financial statements. Restating financial statements could result in a material decline in the price of our stock.

Licenses and Distribution Rights

 

On March 29, 2005, the Company entered into a Supply Agreement with Cell Factors Technologies, Inc., an Indiana corporation and an affiliate of Biomet, Inc. ("CFT"). Under the agreement, the Company will manufacture a thrombin disposable and reagent for the Clotalyst System. Clotalyst is CFT's autologous clotting factor device and blood processing disposables. The Company assumes the role of manufacturer for CFT of the Clotalyst device and blood processing disposals for a term of five years. The agreement requires CFT, upon FDA clearance, to purchase a minimum quantity of 20,000 devices. CFT has paid a one time advance fee for engineering and development of the product.

 

On March 28, 2005, the Company entered into a five-year Distribution and License Agreement with Asahi Kasei Medical Co., Ltd. ("Asahi"). Under the agreement, the Company granted Asahi exclusive rights to sell the CryoSeal System in Japan. This agreement replaces the parties' prior Distribution and Manufacturing License Agreement for the CryoSeal System. The agreement also granted Asahi the right to manufacture the processing disposables and thrombin reagent for production of thrombin ("Thrombin Activation Device") in Japan. Asahi paid a non-refundable fee upon signing the agreement. Asahi will have the non-exclusive right to manufacture and sell the Thrombin Activation Device (“TAD”) Stand Alone in Japan.

 

In January 2002, the Company entered into a five year OEM supply agreement with Interpore Cross International ("ICI") for a modified version of the TAD for spinal surgery applications. In accordance with the agreement, ICI paid the Company $300,000 for worldwide license and distribution rights and development fees.

 

In March 1997, the Company and New York Blood Center (“NYBC”), as licensors, entered into a license agreement with Pall Medical, a subsidiary of Pall Corporation, as Licensees through which Pall Medical became the exclusive worldwide manufacturer (excluding Japan) for a system of sterile, disposable containers developed by the Company and NYBC for the processing of hematopoietic stem cells sourced

 

 

15

 

 



 

from placental cord blood (“PCB”). The system is designed to simplify and streamline the harvesting of stem cell rich blood from detached placental cords and the concentration, cryopreservation (freezing) and transfusion of the PCB stem cells while maintaining the highest stem cell population and viability from each PCB donation. In May of 1999, the Company and Pall Medical amended the original agreement, and the Company regained the rights to distribute the bag sets outside North America & Europe under the Company’s name, and in May of 2000, the Company negotiated rights to directly co-market the bag sets in Europe in exchange for an additional royalty fee, while continuing to utilize Pall Europe’s distribution centers.

 

In June 1995, the Company granted the Japanese distribution rights to its BioArchive System to Air Water, Japan. The Company received $350,000 for the distribution rights and access to the necessary technology. In May of 1999, the Company granted development, manufacturing and distribution (Japan and Asia) rights to Air Water for a downsized version of the BioArchive System. The Company received $300,000 for the technology rights and retained the rights to manufacture and sell the new “mini” BioArchive System in the non-Asia marketplace.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

CERTAIN STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION AND OTHER PARTS OF THIS REPORT ON FORM 10-K WHICH ARE NOT HISTORICAL FACTS ARE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS AND ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. THE COMPANY’S ACTUAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER SIGNIFICANTLY FROM THE PROJECTED RESULTS DISCUSSED IN THE FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS. FACTORS THAT MIGHT AFFECT ACTUAL RESULTS INCLUDE, BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE DISCUSSED IN ITEM 1 – BUSINESS – UNDER THE SUBSECTION ENTITLED “FACTORS AFFECTING OPERATING RESULTS,” AND OTHER FACTORS IDENTIFIED FROM TIME TO TIME IN THE COMPANY’S REPORTS FILED WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements contained in this report.

 

(a)

Overview

 

The Company designs and manufactures medical devices and disposables used for the distributed manufacturing of biologic products such as concentrated stem cells from umbilical cord blood, fibrin sealant and thrombin from blood plasma and other related blood components. Initially the Company developed its ThermoLine products for ultra rapid freezing and thawing of blood components, which the Company distributes to blood banks and hospitals. After extensive research and development, two new technology platforms (the BioArchive System and the CryoSeal System) have evolved products which provide new biologic products to patients in need. We believe our future continued growth will be predicated at large by the developing increased therapeutic benefits and the corresponding market acceptance of our newer products. We believe that our continuing research and development efforts are also a key to maintaining our market share and future growth of our market share where our products are sold and utilized.

 

Beginning in late 1993, and with accelerated research and development efforts from 1996 to 1999, the Company completed development of the BioArchive and CryoSeal technology platforms, each of which will give rise to multiple medical products targeted at a number of different surgical and transplant indications. To achieve completion of these research projects, pursue regulatory clearance for the developed products and add experienced executive talent to launch the products and move the Company to new levels of growth and revenues, considerable capital resources were used.

 

 

 

20

 

 



 

 

Prior to the development and market launch of our BioArchive and CryoSeal technology, our revenue was derived principally from the sale of our blood plasma freezers and thawers. With the launch of our BioArchive System, we have realized significant revenue increases due to the sale of that equipment and more recently increases in revenue due to the recurring sale of disposables used in the BioArchive that is commensurate with an ever increasing installed base of BioArchive Systems worldwide. As disclosed in Item 1, “Factors Affecting Future Results”, the increasing revenues of disposables are dependent on our suppliers and manufacturers to meet existing regulations. We anticipate similar revenue increases from disposable sales related to the CryoSeal System when the installed base of units increases, however there is no assurance that this will occur.

 

Our BioArchive Systems and related products are purchased predominantly by specialized cord blood stem cell banks and stem cell research facilities. The sales of BioArchive devices have been dependent on start up and funding costs associated with new stem cell banks as the science evolved. In more recent periods governmental funding of cord blood banks, as well as more recognized therapeutic benefits from this stem cell treatment appear to be increasing demand for cord blood stem cell transplants. Consistent with the perception that governmental backing and funding will accelerate the demand for the products, the Company has incurred expenses to promote federal financing to increase the inventory of high quality cord blood units manufactured by a network of FDA-approved cord blood banks. Although legislation appropriating $19.4 million has passed and additional authorizing legislation is pending, there is no certainty that the authorizing legislation will ultimately pass or that if it passes, it will result in a corresponding increase in our revenues due to cord blood banks who receive the funds deciding to purchase our BioArchive System.

 

Our CryoSeal System is still in U.S. clinical trials, and sales in the U.S. are limited pending completion of the trial and the required FDA approval following PMA submission. The Company completed enrollment for the 150-patient trial in June 2005. The Company has received CE approval for the system enabling its sale and use in Europe, although sales into individual countries under cost reimbursement structures often requires some supporting clinical usage. We have, through our distribution partner in Europe, undertaken many of those clinical studies and, upon completion, will pursue a more aggressive marketing plan. In Japan, our distributor, Asahi, has completed enrollment in their pivotal clinical trials and filed their PMA equivalent in March 2005. In Canada, field trials are underway to provide a cost justification for federal reimbursement to hospitals that use the product. In Brazil, field trials have begun to establish training and demonstration with selected customers. Several similar field trials are at various stages throughout Europe.

 

The Company’s new product development efforts are focused on two products this year, the AXP for semi-automated separation of blood into components and the TPD. The TPD is a stand-alone disposable which produces autologous thrombin from approximately 12ml of the patient’s plasma. Thrombin is used for topical hemostasis and releasing growth factors from platelets. The Company anticipates sales of the TPD in Europe in the first quarter of fiscal 2006.

 

A significant focus during the past year has been on decreasing manufacturing costs and overhead to drive operations towards profitability, while also pursuing required improvements in our operations required for compliance with new regulatory pronouncements, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”) and FDA Quality System Regulations.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

The Company believes the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its financial statements.

Revenue Recognition:

The Company recognizes revenue including multiple element arrangements, in accordance with the provisions of Staff Accounting Bulletin ("SAB") No. 104 and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 00-21. Revenue arrangements with multiple elements are divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items. Revenue is recognized as specific elements indicated in sales contracts are executed. If an element is essential to the functionality of an arrangement, the entire arrangement’s revenue is deferred until that essential element is delivered. The fair value of each undelivered element that is not essential to the functionality of the system is deferred until performance or delivery occurs. The fair value of an undelivered element is based on vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence of fair value as appropriate. If an undelivered element exists, the Company will determine the fair value of the undelivered element and subtract the fair value of the undelivered element from the total consideration under the arrangement. The residual amount is the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the delivered element. Costs associated with inconsequential or perfunctory elements in multiple element arrangements are accrued at the time of revenue recognition. The Company accounts for training and installation as a separate element of a multiple element arrangement. The Company therefore recognizes the fair value of training and installation services upon their completion when the Company is obligated to perform such services. For licensing agreements pursuant to which the Company receives up-front licensing fees for products or technologies that will be provided by the Company over the term of the arrangements, the Company defers the up-front fees and recognizes the fees as revenue on a straight-line method over the term of the respective contracts.

 

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts:

The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required, which would be charged against earnings.

 

Warranty:

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers, the Company’s warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from the Company’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

 

Inventory Reserve:

The Company plans inventory procurement and production based on orders received, forecasted demand and supplier requirements. The Company writes down its inventories for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventories equal to the difference between the cost of inventories and its net realizable value based upon estimates about future demand from our customers and distributors and market conditions. Because some of the Company’s products are highly dependent on government and third-party funding, current customer use and validation, and completion of regulatory and field trials, there is a risk that we will forecast incorrectly and purchase or produce excess inventories. As a result, actual demand may differ from forecasts, and such a difference may have a material adverse effect on future results of operations due to required write-offs of excess or obsolete inventory. This inventories risk may be further compounded for the CryoSeal family of products because they are at initial market introduction and market acceptance will depend upon the customer accepting the products as clinically useful, reliable, accurate and cost effective compared to existing and future products and completion of required clinical or field acceptance trials.

Results of Operations

 

The following is Management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected the Company’s financial condition and results of operations during the periods included in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Results of Operations for the Year Ended June 30, 2005 as Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2004

 

Net Revenues:

Revenues for year ended June 30, 2005 were $10,177,000 compared to $11,646,000 for fiscal 2004, a decrease of $1,469,000 or 13%. Revenues from the BioArchive product line were $7,130,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005, compared to $7,745,000 for the corresponding fiscal 2004 period, a decrease of $615,000 or 8%. The Company sold 21 devices in the year ended June 30, 2005 versus 26 in the year ended June 30, 2004. The sale of BioArchive devices outside the U.S. is heavily dependent on government funding, which can be erratic. Included in the 26 devices shipped in the prior year were five units to Japan. There were no BioArchive units shipped to Japan in fiscal 2005. Included in the BioArchive product line revenues noted above was $2,570,000 generated from the sales of disposables for fiscal 2005, compared to $2,316,000 for fiscal 2004, an increase of 11%. Revenues generated by the CryoSeal product line for the year ended June 30, 2005 were $360,000 versus $393,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004. The decrease is due to a decrease in sales of the TAD, which is sold exclusively to ICI. ICI purchased a large quantity of TADs at the end of fiscal 2004 which also satisfied their product demand for fiscal 2005. Therefore, ICI did not place an order in fiscal 2005, however, it is expected to in early fiscal 2006 when the TPD is released. Revenues from ThermoLine services were $140,000 in fiscal 2005, compared to $830,000 in fiscal 2004, a decrease of $690,000 or 83%. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in freezer units covered under a service contract with ZLB, formerly Aventis and then the termination of the service contract as of October 31, 2004.

 

The following represents the Company’s cumulative BioArchive devices in the following geographies:

Cost of Revenues:

Cost of revenues as a percent of revenues was 70% for the year ended June 30, 2005, as compared to 67% for the corresponding fiscal 2004 period. Cost of product revenues as a percentage of product revenues was consistent from fiscal 2004 to fiscal 2005 at 68%. The cost of service revenues was the primary driver in the Company’s total costs of revenues percentage increase. Although there was some reduction in costs as a result of the termination of the ThermoLine service contract, the remaining service revenue was not sufficient to absorb the fixed service costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $5,837,000 for the year ended June 30, 2005, compared to $5,174,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004, an increase of $663,000 or 13%. The increase is due to year to year increases in salary and related benefits, an increase in professional fees due to outside accounting and consulting fees in connection with the SOX and sales and marketing consultants.

 

Research and Development Expenses:

Research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2005 were $5,673,000 compared to $3,472,000 for the corresponding fiscal 2004 period, an increase of $2,201,000 or 63%. Approximately $799,000 of the increase is due to an increase in personnel, specifically, engineering and scientific affairs, including the new Vice President of Research and Development and design and development services for new product development of the AXP. The Company spent approximately $900,000 with outside contractors during fiscal 2005 versus $300,000 in fiscal 2004 in development of the AXP. Management expects these costs to significantly decrease in fiscal 2006. The costs associated with the CryoSeal FS human clinical trials were $1,840,000, an increase of $585,000 or 47% from $1,255,000 in fiscal 2004.

 

Management believes that product development and refinement is essential to maintaining the Company’s market position. Therefore, the Company considers these costs as continuing costs of doing business. No assurances can be given that the products or markets recently developed or under development will be successful.

 

Results of Operations for the Year Ended June 30, 2004 as Compared to the Year Ended June 30, 2003

 

Revenues:

Revenues for year ended June 30, 2004 were $11,646,000 compared to $10,187,000 for the fiscal 2003 period, an increase of $1,459,000 or 14%. BioArchive revenues were $7,745,000 for the year ended June 30, 2004, compared to $5,448,000 for the corresponding fiscal 2003 period, an increase of $2,297,000 or 42%. The Company sold 26 devices in the year ended June 30, 2004 versus 20 in the year ended June 30, 2003. The increase is due to the infusion of government funding in Japan and Moscow and the growth of private cord blood banking in Asia. Revenues generated by the CryoSeal product line for the year ended June 30, 2004 were $393,000 versus $575,000 for the year ended June 30, 2003. The decrease is due to the sales of four CryoSeal devices and the related disposables during the first quarter of fiscal 2003, to our distributor in Japan to initiate clinical trials. As the trials in Japan were in progress, the distributor purchased CryoSeal disposables in fiscal 2004, but no devices. Also, we experienced lower than expected sales from our distributor in Europe who underwent a significant internal reorganization earlier this year. Revenues generated from the ThermoLine Freezers decreased $700,000 or 50% from the prior year primarily due to significantly raising the price on the smallest model, the MP500, which resulted in a higher gross margin but lower revenues and eight of our largest freezer model were sold to our distributor in the U.K. for the National Blood Services tender. Only one freezer was sold under this tender in fiscal 2004.

 

Cost of Revenues:

Cost of revenues as a percent of revenues was 67% for the year ended June 30, 2004, as compared to 78% for the corresponding fiscal 2003 period. The primary drivers behind the cost of revenues percentage decrease were the cost reduction programs that were implemented in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003, an increase in Average Standard Price ("ASP") of the BioArchive device and ThermoLine Freezers and the volume increase of the BioArchive product line. The cost reduction programs included reducing manufacturing overhead costs and consolidating operations into one facility. The programs resulted in a $241,000 decrease in the manufacturing overhead pool for the year ended June 30, 2004. The ASP for the BioArchive device increased 6% and the ThermoLine Freezers ASP increased 40% for the year ended June 30, 2004 versus the prior year. The increase in the ASPs increased gross margin by approximately $405,000. The

 

 

24

 

 



 

products in the BioArchive product line have a higher gross profit margin than the other product lines, ranging from 30% to greater than 50%. The amount of BioArchive product line revenues as a percent of total Company revenues increased 14% for the year ended June 30, 2004 as compared to the year ended June 30, 2003.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:

Selling, general and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent year to year, increasing $160,000 or 3%. The increase is due to the commissions paid to the Company’s agent in Japan. Also, the increase in professional and consulting fees associated with the SOX, was offset by a decrease in professional fees from the comparable prior year paid in connection with the executive search for a new President and Chief Operating Officer and to promote federal financing of a National Cord Blood Stem Cell Bank Network.

 

Research and Development Expenses:

Research and development expenses for the year ended June 30, 2004 were $3,472,000 compared to $2,937,000 for the corresponding fiscal 2003 period, an increase of $535,000 or 18%. The increase in research and development is due to the costs associated with new product development, primarily the AXP and proprietary disposable. The costs associated with the CryoSeal FS human clinical trials were $1,255,000 a decrease from $1,310,000 in fiscal 2003.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

At June 30, 2005, the Company had a cash balance of $9,568,000 and working capital of $13,085,000. This compares to a cash balance of $16,612,000 and working capital of $19,798,000 at June 30, 2004. The cash was used to fund operations and other cash needs of the Company. This was partially offset by cash received related to the exercise of stock options and warrants of $1,136,000. In addition to product revenues, the Company has primarily financed operations through the private placement of equity securities and has raised approximately $73 million, net of expenses, through common and preferred stock financings and option and warrant exercises. As of June 30, 2005, the Company had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

 

Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended June 30, 2005 was $7,931,000, primarily due to the net loss of $8,220,000. Inventories utilized $970,000 of cash as a result of a lower volume of revenue than forecasted. Deferred revenue provided $222,000 of cash due to signing of a license agreements in which up front fees were received. Other assets provided $357,000 of cash due to the amortization of certain prepaid assets during the year.

 

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had a cash balance of $9,568,000. We expect the negative cash flows to continue in fiscal 2006 primarily due to the personnel and infrastructure in place to ensure compliance with financial and quality regulations. The Company believes that it has developed a viable plan in which our current cash and any cash generated from our operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures into 2006 and the foreseeable future. The plan includes the realization of revenues from the commercialization of new products and the reduction of certain operating expenses as required. If existing cash and any cash generated from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity securities. Any additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, or at all.

The Company generally does not require extensive capital equipment to produce or sell its current products. However, when significant capital equipment is required, the Company purchases from a vendor base. In fiscal 2003, the Company spent $92,000 primarily for computers, equipment used in research and development and a truck for field service personnel. In fiscal 2004, the Company spent $849,000, which consisted of leasehold improvements, furniture, phone and security systems as a result of moving to a consolidated facility in the first quarter of fiscal 2004 and the purchase of an Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP") System. In fiscal 2005, the Company spent $232,000, primarily for computers, website development and additional costs associated with the ERP System prior to the implementation on November 1, 2004. Future capital expenditures are anticipated, and the Company believes that the amounts expended will be consistent with the fiscal 2005 amounts.

 

At June 30, 2005, the Company has approximately $420,000 outstanding in cancelable orders to purchase inventories, supplies and services for use in normal business operations. Additionally, the Company has a contract with an OEM vendor to purchase 190,000 units or $8.7 million of inventory through fiscal 2009.

 

At June 30, 2005, the Company had three customers that individually account for 16%, 16% and 12% of accounts receivable. At June 30, 2004, the Company had four customers that individually accounted for 16%, 13%, 12% and 12% of accounts receivable. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2005, revenues from two significant customers totaled $2,374,000 or 23% of net revenues. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2004, revenues from two significant customers totaled $2,523,000 or 22% of net revenues. During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2003, revenues from two significant customers totaled $2,547,000 or 25% of net revenues. The Company manages the concentration of credit risk with these customers through a variety of methods including, letters of credit with financial institutions, pre-shipment deposits, credit reference checks and credit limits. Although management believes that these customers are sound and creditworthy, a severe adverse impact on their business operations could have a corresponding material effect on their ability to pay timely and therefore on our net revenues, cash flows and financial condition.

ITEM 7A.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

All sales, domestic and foreign, are made in U.S. dollars and therefore currency fluctuations are believed to have no impact on the Company’s net revenues. The Company has no material long-term investments or debt, other than a note payable, and therefore is not subject to interest rate risk. Management does not believe that inflation has had or will have a significant impact on the Company’s results of operations. The Company is not exposed to any market risk involving activities in derivative financial instruments, other financial instruments or derivative commodity instruments.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of ThermoGenesis Corp.

 

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of ThermoGenesis Corp. as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2005. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15.(a)(2). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.

 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of ThermoGenesis Corp. at June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2005, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.

 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of ThermoGenesis’ internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated August 26, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Organization and Business

 

The Company was incorporated in Delaware in July 1986. The Company designs, manufactures and markets automated devices and single-use processing disposables that enable hospitals and blood banks to manufacture a therapeutic dose of stem cells, wound healing proteins or growth factors from a single unit of cord blood or the patient’s own blood in less than one hour. Initially, the Company developed medical devices for ultra rapid freezing and thawing of blood components, which the Company manufactures and distributes to blood banks and hospitals.

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue including multiple element arrangements, in accordance with the provisions of SAB No. 104 and EITF 00-21. Revenue arrangements with multiple elements are divided into separate units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the delivered item has value to the customer on a stand-alone basis and whether there is objective and reliable evidence of the fair value of the undelivered items. Revenue is recognized as specific elements indicated in sales contracts are executed. If an element is essential to the functionality of an arrangement, the entire arrangement’s revenue is deferred until that essential element is delivered. The fair value of each undelivered element that is not essential to the functionality of the system is deferred until performance or delivery occurs. The fair value of an undelivered element is based on vendor specific objective evidence or third party evidence of fair value as appropriate. If an undelivered element exists, the Company will determine the fair value of the undelivered element and subtract the fair value of the undelivered element from the total consideration under the arrangement. The residual amount is the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the delivered element. Costs associated with inconsequential or perfunctory elements in multiple element arrangements are accrued at the time of revenue recognition. The Company accounts for training and installation as a separate element of a multiple element arrangement. The Company therefore recognizes the fair value of training and installation services upon their completion when the Company is obligated to perform such services. For licensing agreements pursuant to which the Company receives up-front licensing fees for products or technologies that will be provided by the Company over the term of the arrangements, the Company defers the up-front fees and recognizes the fees as revenue on a straight-line method over the term of the respective contracts.

Revenue Recognition (Continued)

 

Revenues from the sale of the Company’s products are recognized upon transfer of title. The Company generally ships products F.O.B. shipping point at its office. There is no conditional evaluation on any product sold and recognized as revenue. All foreign sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. The Company’s foreign sales are generally through distributors. There is no right of return provided for distributors. For sales of products made to distributors, the Company considers a number of factors in determining whether revenue is recognized upon transfer of title to the distributor, or when the distributor places the product with an end-user. These factors include, but are not limited to, whether the payment terms offered to the distributor are considered to be non-standard, the distributor history of adhering to the terms of its contractual arrangements with the Company, the level of inventories maintained by the distributor, whether the Company has a pattern of granting concessions for the benefit of the distributor, or whether there are other conditions that may indicate that the sale to the distributor is not substantive. The Company currently recognizes revenue on the sell-in method with its distributors. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in product and other revenues, while the related costs are included in cost of product and other revenues. Service revenue generated from contracts for providing maintenance of equipment is amortized over the life of the agreement. All other service revenue is recognized at the time the service is completed. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Short Term Investments

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Short term investments are comprised of certificates of deposit with maturities greater than 90 days, but not exceeding one year.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

Carrying amounts of financial instruments held by the Company, which include cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate fair value due to their short duration.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company’s receivables are recorded when billed and represent claims against third parties that will be settled in cash. The carrying value of the Company’s receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts represents their estimated net realizable value. The Company estimates its allowance for doubtful accounts based on historical collection trends, age of outstanding receivables and existing economic conditions. If events or changes in circumstances indicate that a specific receivable balance may be impaired, further consideration is given to the collectibility of those balances and the allowance is adjusted accordingly. A customer’s receivable balance is considered past-due based on its contractual terms. Past-due receivable balances are written-off when the Company’s internal collection efforts have been unsuccessful in collecting the amount due.

 

Inventories

 

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and include the cost of material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Cost is determined on the first-in, first-out basis.

 

Suppliers

 

The Company obtains certain custom components from a limited number of suppliers. If the supplier raises the price of the component or discontinues production, the Company's gross margin may be negatively impacted or the Company will have to find another qualified supplier to provide the component. In the event that it becomes necessary for us to find another supplier, we would first be required to qualify the quality assurance systems and product of that alternative supplier. Any transfer between qualified suppliers may impact the production schedule, therefore delaying revenues, and may cause the price of the key components to increase.

 

Equipment

 

Equipment is recorded at cost. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Depreciation for office, computer, machinery and equipment is computed under the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives. Leasehold improvements are depreciated under the straight line method over their estimated useful lives or the remaining lease period, whichever is shorter.

Warranty

 

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers, the Company’s warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from the Company’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability could have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, cash flows or results of operations.

 

Stock Based Compensation

 

The Company has three stock-based compensation plans, which are described more fully in Note 6. The Company has adopted the disclosure provision for stock-based compensation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure”, which was released in December, 2002 as an amendment of SFAS No 123, but continues to account for such items using the intrinsic value method as outlined under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. Stock-based compensation associated with employee stock-based awards is recognized over the vesting period using the straight line method.

 

The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the equity instruments issued (which were determined to be more reliably measurable than the fair value of consideration received) using the stock price and other measurement assumptions as of the date a commitment for performance by the counterparty to earn the equity instrument was reached. The fair value of the equity instruments issued is recognized in the same period as if the Company had paid cash for the services.

 

The Black-Scholes-Merton option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options and includes assumptions regarding dividend yields, expected volatility, expected lives and risk-free interest rates. The assumptions used in option valuation models (see below) are highly subjective, particularly the expected stock price volatility of the underlying stock.

 

The expense related to stock-based employee compensation included in the determination of net loss is less than that which would have been recognized if the fair value method had been applied to all awards granted after the original effective date of SFAS No. 123. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of the options is amortized over the options’ vesting periods using the straight-line method.

These assumptions reflect management’s best estimates, but these items involve inherent uncertainties based on market conditions generally outside of the control of the Company.

If management uses different assumptions in future periods, stock-based compensation expense could be materially impacted in future years.

 

The weighted average grant date fair value of options granted during the years ended June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was $2.83, $2.29 and $1.23, respectively.

Credit Risk

 

The Company manufactures and sells thermodynamic devices principally to the blood component processing industry and performs ongoing evaluations of the credit worthiness of its customers. The Company believes that adequate provisions for uncollectible accounts have been made in the accompanying financial statements.

 

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates in a single segment providing medical devices and disposables to hospitals and blood banks throughout the world which utilize the equipment to process blood components.

 

Income Taxes

 

The liability method is used for accounting for income taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are scheduled to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company used the flow-through method to account for income tax credits.

 

Net Loss per Share

 

Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is the same for all periods presented, as the effect of the potential common stock equivalents is antidilutive due to the Company’s net loss position for all periods presented. Antidilutive securities, which consist of stock options, warrants, common stock restricted awards and the Series A convertible preferred stock, that were not included in diluted net loss per common share, common stock restricted awards were 3,017,115, 3,437,272 and 7,591,249 as of June 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In November 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 151 (“SFAS 151”), “Inventory Costs, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (“ARB”) No. 43, Chapter 4.” SFAS 151 amends the guidance in ARB No. 43, Chapter 4, “Inventory Pricing,” to clarify that abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs, and wasted material should be recognized as current period charges and requires the allocation of fixed production overheads to inventory based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. SFAS 151 is effective for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. Early adoption is permitted for inventory costs incurred during fiscal years beginning after the date SFAS 151 was issued. SFAS 151 should be applied prospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

 

On December 16, 2004, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 123 (“Statement 123(R)”), (revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment,” which is a revision of FASB Statement No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.” Statement 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and amends FASB Statement No. 95, “Statement of Cash Flows.” Generally, the approach in Statement 123(R) is similar to the approach described in Statement 123.   As permitted by Statement 123, the Company currently accounts for share-based payments to employees using Opinion 25’s intrinsic value method and, as such, generally recognizes no compensation cost for employee stock options.   However, Statement 123(R) requires all share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the statement of operations based on their fair values. Pro forma disclosure is no longer an alternative. Statement 123(R) must be adopted no later than July 1, 2005.  The Company will adopt SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 and apply the standard using the modified prospective method, which requires compensation expense to be recorded for new and modified awards.  For any unvested portion of previously issued and outstanding awards, compensation expense is required to be recorded based on the previously disclosed SFAS 123 methodology and amounts.  Prior periods presented are not required to be restated.  Accordingly, the adoption of Statement 123(R) fair value method will have an impact on the Company's results of operations, although it will have no impact on the Company's overall cash position.  The Company has not yet determined the impact of the adoption of SFAS 123(R) on its results of operations and financial position.

Note Payable  

 

The Company entered into a note payable with a financial institution to purchase a vehicle for field service personnel in January 2003 for $36. The note bears interest at 9.90%, requires monthly payments of principal and interest of $1 and matures on January 5, 2008.

 

Contingencies

 

In the normal course of operations, the Company may have disagreements or disputes with customers, employees or vendors. These disputes are seen by the Company’s management as a normal part of business, and there are no pending actions currently or no threatened actions that management believes would have a significant material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.

 

Warranty

 

The Company offers a one-year warranty for parts only on all of its products. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred under its basic limited warranty and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of installed units, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and cost per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

 

Changes in the Company’s product liability which is included in accrued liabilities during the period are as follows:

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company’s management with the participation of principal executive and financial officers evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as defined by Rule 13a-15(c) of the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. The Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis. Based upon their evaluation, the Company’s principal executive and financial officers concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective to accumulate and communicate to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure.

 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, the Company’s management concluded that its internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 30, 2005.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.

 

The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm has issued an attestation report on management’s assessment of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, which appears on the following page of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

 

The Board of Directors and Stockholders of ThermoGenesis Corp.

 

We have audited management’s assessment, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Controls over Financial Reporting, that ThermoGenesis Corp. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). ThermoGenesis’ management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management’s assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’ assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, management’s assessment that ThermoGenesis Corp. maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, ThermoGenesis Corp. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 30, 2005, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the balance sheets of ThermoGenesis Corp. as of June 30, 2005 and 2004, and the related statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended June 30, 2005 of ThermoGenesis Corp. Our audits also included the financial statement schedule listed in the Index of Item 15.(a)(2). Our report dated August 26, 2005 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
