Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Organization and Basis of Presentation	Organization and Basis of Presentation Cesca Therapeutics Inc. (the Company, we or our) is focused on the research, development, and commercialization of autologous cell-based therapeutics for use in regenerative medicine. We are a leader in developing and manufacturing automated blood and bone marrow processing systems that enable the separation, processing and preservation of cell and tissue therapy products.
Liquidity	Liquidity At December 31, 2014, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8,357 and working capital of $11,811. This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $14,811 and working capital of $18,947 at June 30, 2014. The Company has primarily financed operations through the private and public placement of equity securities. Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2014 was $5,869 compared to $4,333 for the six months ended December 31, 2013. Based on our cash balance, historical trends, expected outflows for our clinical trial programs and projections for revenues, we anticipate needing to raise capital to invest in the strategic business plan through equity, debt, strategic development partners, licenses or grants, depending on market conditions. Should we require additional funding, such as additional capital investments, we may need to raise the required additional funds through bank borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities. We cannot assure that such funding will be available in needed quantities or on terms favorable to us, if at all. If we are unable to generate sufficient revenues or to obtain additional funds for our working capital needs, we may need to scale-back operations or slow down our clinical trial programs.
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cesca Therapeutics Inc., and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, TotipotentRX Cell Therapy, Pvt. Ltd. and TotipotentSC Scientific Product Pvt. Ltd. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Interim Reporting	Interim Reporting The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations and accounting principles applicable for interim periods. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Events subsequent to the balance sheet date have been evaluated for inclusion in the accompanying condensed financial statements through the date of issuance. Operating results for the six month period ended December 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2015. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2014.
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenues from the sale of our products and services are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or services have been rendered), the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured. We generally ship products F.O.B. shipping point. There is no conditional evaluation on any product sold and recognized as revenue. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. Our sales are generally through distributors. There is no right of return provided for distributors. For sales of products made to distributors, we consider a number of factors in determining whether revenue is recognized upon transfer of title to the distributor, or when payment is received. 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 us, the level of inventories maintained by the distributor, whether we have a pattern of granting concessions for the benefit of the distributor, and whether there are other conditions that may indicate that the sale to the distributor is not substantive. We currently recognize revenue primarily on the sell-in method with our distributors. Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the deliverable item(s) has (have) value to the customer on a stand-alone basis. Revenue for each unit of accounting is recognized as the unit of accounting is delivered. Arrangement consideration is allocated to each unit of accounting based upon the relative estimated selling prices of the separate units of accounting contained within an arrangement containing multiple deliverables. Estimated selling prices are determined using vendor specific objective evidence of value (VSOE), when available, or an estimate of selling price when VSOE is not available for a given unit of accounting. Significant inputs for the estimates of the selling price of separate units of accounting include market and pricing trends and a customer’s geographic location. We account for training and installation, and service agreements and the collection, processing and testing of the umbilical cord blood and the storage as separate units of accounting. Service revenue generated from contracts for providing maintenance of equipment is amortized over the life of the agreement. Revenue generated from storage contracts is deferred and recorded ratably over the life of the agreement, up to 21 years. All other service revenue is recognized at the time the service is completed. Revenues are net of normal discounts. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net revenues, while the related costs are included in cost of revenues.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments	Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short duration. At December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $334 in cash equivalents classified as Level 1 assets, which are based on quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, we did not have any Level 2 or 3 financial instruments.
Segment Reporting	Segment Reporting We have one reportable business segment: the research, development and commercialization of autologous cell-based therapeutics for use in regenerative medicine.
Net Loss per Share	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 anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss position for all periods presented. Anti-dilutive securities, which consist of stock options, common stock restricted awards and warrants, that were not included in diluted net loss per common share, were 8,069,444 and 2,263,671 as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 respectively.
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation We estimate the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.
Acquired In-Process Research and Develpment	Acquired In-Process Research and Development Acquired in-process research and development (“clinical protocols”) that the Company acquires through business combinations represents the fair value assigned to incomplete research projects which, at the time of acquisition, have not reached technological feasibility. The amounts are capitalized and are accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets, subject to impairment testing until completion or abandonment of the projects. Upon successful completion of each project, we will make a determination as to the then useful life of the intangible asset, generally determined by the period in which the substantial majority of the cash flows are expected to be generated, and begin amortization. The Company tests clinical protocols for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators exist, by first assessing qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the clinical protocols intangible asset is less than its carrying amount. If the Company concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount, a quantitative test that compares the fair value of the clinical protocol intangible asset with its carrying value is performed. If the fair value is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in operating results.
Patent Costs	Patent Costs The costs incurred in connection with patent applications and in defending and maintaining intellectual property rights are expensed as incurred.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update, ASU 2013-11, “Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists”. This amendment requires entities to present an unrecognized tax benefit or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward or a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward, unless certain conditions exist. We adopted ASU 2013-11 effective July 1, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition. In March 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, “Foreign Currency Matters” (Topic 830) which provides guidance on a parent’s accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon de-recognition of a subsidiary or group of assets within a foreign entity. This new guidance requires that the parent release any related cumulative translation adjustment into net income only if the sale or transfer results in the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which the subsidiary or group of assets had resided. The new guidance was effective for us beginning July 1, 2014. The adoption of ASU 2013-05 did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”. ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. For all entities, the ASU is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company has not adopted this standard as of December 31, 2014. We are currently assessing the potential impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2014-15 may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12 “Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period”. A performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation. As a result, the target is not reflected in the estimation of the award’s grant date fair value. Compensation cost would be recognized over the required service period, if it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the potential impact, if any, the adoption of ASU 2014-15 may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” which provides comprehensive guidance for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets. The core principle of the guidance provides that a company should recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016, using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective method of adoption. We are currently evaluating the transition method we will adopt and the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
