Acquisition
of SynGen
Inc.
 
On
July 7, 2017,
Cesca, through its then wholly-owned subsidiary ThermoGenesis, entered into an Asset Acquisition Agreement (the “Asset Acquisition Agreement”) with SynGen Inc. (SynGen), and acquired substantially all of SynGen’s operating assets, including its proprietary cell processing platform technology (the “Transaction”).
 
The business acquired in the Transaction excludes certain assets and liabilities of SynGen that ThermoGenesis did
not
acquire under the Asset Acquisition Agreement, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, certain prepaid expenses and other current assets, other assets, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities. The acquisition was consummated for the purpose of enhancing the Company’s cord blood product portfolio and settling litigation between the Company and SynGen.
 
The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date.
 
The consideration for the Transaction consisted of
$1,000,000
in cash and ThermoGenesis’ issuance at closing to SynGen of an aggregate of
2,000,000
shares of its common stock, constituting a
20%
interest, which had a fair market value utilizing the income approach of
$2,528,000.
The goodwill will be deductible for tax purposes. The
2,000,000
shares of common stock were transferred to Bay City Capital Fund V, L.P. and an affiliated fund (Bay City). Bay City was granted certain minority investor rights in ThermoGenesis. These rights include board representation rights, a right of
first
refusal over sales of ThermoGenesis stock by the Company, co-sale rights with respect to any sale of ThermoGenesis stock by the Company, and supermajority protective voting rights over certain major decisions, such as a sale of ThermoGenesis, raising capital in ThermoGenesis with preferred stock, transfers of ThermoGenesis assets, or redemptions of ThermoGenesis stock.
 
Supplemental Pro Forma Data
The Company used the acquisition method of accounting to account for the SynGen acquisition and, accordingly, the results of SynGen are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the period subsequent to the date of acquisition. For the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018,
Cesca has recorded revenues of approximately
$31,000
associated with the operations of SynGen. The following unaudited supplemental pro forma data for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2017
present consolidated information as if the acquisition had been completed on
January 1, 2017.
The pro forma results were calculated by combining the results of Cesca Inc. with the stand-alone results of SynGen Inc. for the pre-acquisition periods:
