Revolving Credit Agreement
On
March 6, 2017,
Cesca entered into the Credit Agreement with Boyalife Investment Fund II, Inc., which later merged into Boyalife Asset Holding II, Inc. (the “Lender”). The Lender is a wholly owned subsidiary of Boyalife Group Inc. The Credit Agreement and subsequent amendments, grants to the Company the right to borrow up to
$10,000,000
from Lender (the “Loan”) at any time prior to
March 6, 2022 (
the “Maturity Date”). The Company has drawn down a total of
$7,200,000
as of
June 30, 2018.
 
The Credit Agreement and the Convertible Promissory Note issued thereunder (the “Note”) provide that the principal and all accrued but unpaid interest under the Loan will be due and payable on the Maturity Date, with payments of interest-only due on the last day of each calendar year. The Loan bears interest at
22%
per annum, simple interest. The Note can be prepaid in whole or in part by the Company at any time without penalty.
 
The Credit Agreement and Note were amended on
April 16, 2018. 
The First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“the Amended Credit Agreement”) contained the following provisions:
 
 
The Lender was granted the right to convert, at any time, outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest under the Credit Agreement into shares of Common Stock at a conversion price equal to
$1.61
per share, subject to customary adjustments for stock splits, reverse stock splits, and the like (the “Fixed Conversion Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Note is converted after the Maturity Date, the conversion price of the Note will be the lower of the Fixed Conversion Price or an amount equal to
90%
of the average volume-weighted average price of Common Stock during the
10
trading days immediately prior to the Maturity Date. Prior to the
April 2018
amendment, the principal and accrued interest was convertible by the Lender only upon maturity of the obligation.
 
If the Company after
April 16, 2018
issues shares of Common Stock, or is deemed to issue shares of Common Stock, prior to the full payment or conversion of the Note for a price per share lower than the Fixed Conversion Price then in effect, the Fixed Conversion Price will be reduced to the price per share paid in the future issuance, with certain customary exceptions for equity plan issuances and issuances pursuant to certain strategic transactions.
 
 
The Company has been granted the right to defer payment of the
$657,000
interest payment that was originally due on
December 31, 2017
until
December 31, 2018,
or if earlier, the date on which the Company completes a debt or equity financing transaction resulting in gross proceeds of
$5.0
million or more.
 
On
May 7, 2018,
the Company entered into an Amendment
No.
1
to the Amended Credit Agreement with Boyalife Asset Holding II, Inc.  The Amendment
No.
1
amends the Company’s revolving line of credit facility by adding a provision securing it with a security interest in the Company’s shares of common stock of ThermoGenesis Corp.
 
On
May 18, 2018,
the Company completed a public offering of its Common Stock for a purchase price of
$0.60
per unit.  This offering lowered the effective Fixed Conversion Price from
$1.61
to
$0.60.
 
The Maturity Date of the Amended Credit Agreement is subject to acceleration at the option of the Lender upon customary events of default, which include a breach of the Loan documents, termination of operations, or bankruptcy. The Lender’s obligation to make advances under the Loan is subject to the Company’s representations and warranties in the Amended Credit Agreement continuing to be true at all times and there being
no
continuing event of default under the Note.   
No
default has occurred through the date of filing.
 
The Company accounted for the Amended Credit Agreement as a loan modification.  As discussed in Note
2,
The Company has adopted ASU
2017
-
11
Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Down Round Features”.
  The Company performed an analysis of the Amended Credit Agreement, including the adoption of ASU
2017
-
11
in the analysis.  It determined that the embedded conversion option contained within the Amended Credit Agreement does
not
require bifurcation and should
not
be classified as a derivative liability.  Additionally, it was concluded that the conversion option does
not
contain a beneficial conversion feature.  As of
June 30, 2018,
the lowered Fixed Conversion Price of
$0.60
was
not
“in the money”.  Consequently,
no
separate entry or adjustment is recorded for the embedded conversion option as of
June 30, 2018.
 
The Company recorded interest expense of
$382,000
and
$742,000
during the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2018,
and
$103,000
and
$122,000
for the
three
and
six
months ended
June 30, 2017,
respectively, and had an interest payable balance of
$742,000
and
$657,000
at
June 30, 2018
and
December 31, 2017, 
respectively.

August 21, 2017,
ThermoGenesis entered into an International Distributor Agreement with Boyalife W.S.N. Under the terms of the agreement, Boyalife W.S.N. was granted the exclusive right, subject to existing distributors and customers (if any), to develop, sell to, and service a customer base for ThermoGenesis’ AXP
