NOTE 1 GENERAL AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Orgenesis Inc. (the Company), incorporated in the State of Nevada on June 5, 2008 together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Group) is engaged in the research and development of a new technology for regeneration of functional insulin-producing cells, thus, enabling normal glucose regulated insulin secretion, via cell therapy.
The Group is engaged in research and development in the biotechnology field and is considered a development stage company in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 915, Development Stage Entities.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, they do not contain all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the Companys consolidated financial position as of February 28, 2014, the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive loss, and the consolidated cash flows for the three-month periods ended February 28, 2014 and 2013 and for the period from June 5, 2008 (inception date) to February 28, 2014.
The financial data and other information disclosed in the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements related to these periods are unaudited. The results for the three-month period ended February 28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending November 30, 2014.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Companys annual report on Form 10-K the year ended November 30, 2013. The condensed consolidated balance sheet data as of November 30, 2013 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended November 30, 2013, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.
These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has net losses for the period from inception (June 5, 2008) through February 28, 2014 of $11,384,289, as well as a negative cash flows from operating activities. Presently, the Company does not have sufficient cash resources to meet its plans in the twelve months following February 28, 2014. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives, as the Company will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses in either the public or private equity markets.
These factors raise substantial doubt about the Companys ability to continue as a going concern.
Management believes that it will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders, including via future exercise of 4,055,567 warrants for a total amount of $2,130,894. See also Notes 4b and 6. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful with those initiatives.
These condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. The Companys continuation as a going concern is dependent on its ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability. If the Company is unsuccessful in raising additional financing, it may need to curtail, discontinue or cease operations.

NOTE 2 FAIR VALUE PRESENTATION
The fair value measurement guidance clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. It establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy under the fair value measurement guidance are described below:
Level 1 Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
Level 3 Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).
As of February 28, 2014, the assets or liabilities measured at Level 3 fair value comprise of warrants (see Note 6). In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible.
The fair value of each of the warrants described in Note 6 is determined by using a Monte Carlo type valuation model based on a risk neutral approach. The model takes as an input the estimated future dates when new capital will be raised, and builds a multi-step dynamic model. The first step is to model the risk neutral distribution of the share value on the new issuance dates. Then for each path to use the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the value of the warrants on the last issuance date including all the changes in exercise price and quantity along this path. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement is the future expected issuance dates.
Significant delay in this input would result a higher fair value measurement.
The following table presents the assumptions which were used for the model as of February 28, 2014:
Fair value of shares of common stock | $0.51 |
Expected volatility | 93%-108% |
Risk free interest rate | 0.12%-0.33% |
Expected term (years) | 0.75-1.59 |
Expected dividend yield | 0% |

After the SEC has declared the registration statement related to the transaction effective, the Company has the right at its sole discretion over a period of one year to sell shares of common stock under the terms set forth in the agreement in the total amount of up to $3,000,000. Proceeds from this transaction will be used to fund research and development and working capital.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as may, should, expects, plans, anticipates, believes, estimates, predicts, potential or continue or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements made in a quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes statements about:
These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including the risks in the section entitled Risk Factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2013, any of which may cause our or our industrys actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These risks include, by way of example and not in limitation:
These risks may cause our companys or our industrys actual results, levels of activity or performance to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity or performance expressed or implied by these forward looking statements.
14
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity or performance. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results.
As used in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and unless otherwise indicated, the terms we, us, our, or the company refer to Orgenesis Inc. and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, Orgenesis Ltd., (the Israeli Subsidiary) and Orgenesis SBRL (the Belgian Subsidiary). Unless otherwise specified, all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars.
Corporate Overview
We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on June 5, 2008 under the name Business Outsourcing Services, Inc.
Effective August 31, 2011, we completed a merger with our subsidiary, Orgenesis Inc., a Nevada corporation which was incorporated solely to effect a change in our name. As a result, we changed our name from Business Outsourcing Services, Inc. to Orgenesis Inc..
Effective August 31, 2011, we effected a 35 to 1 forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital has increased from 50,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001 to 1,750,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001. On February 27, 2012, we filed a Certificate of Correction with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, correcting the par value of 1,750,000,000 shares of common stock which was incorrectly stated as $0.001 to 1,750,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.0001. Unless otherwise noted, all references in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to number of shares, price per share or weighted average number of shares outstanding have been adjusted to reflect the stock split on a retroactive basis.
Our Current Business
On August 5, 2011, we entered into a letter of intent with Prof. Sarah Ferber and Ms. Vered Caplan according to which, inter alia, Prof. Ferber has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause THM to license us all of the assets associated with Methods Of Inducing Regulated Pancreatic Hormone Production and Methods of Inducing Regulated Pancreatic Hormone Production In Non-Pancreatic Islet Tissues.
On October 11, 2011, we incorporated Orgenesis Ltd. as our wholly-owned subsidiary under the laws of Israel. On February 2, 2012, Orgenesis Ltd. signed and closed a definitive agreement to license patents and knowhow related to the development of autologous insulin producing (AIP) cells.
Based on the licensed knowhow and patents, our intention is to develop to the clinical stage a new technology for regeneration of functional insulin-producing cells, thus enabling normal glucose regulated insulin secretion, via cell therapy. By using a therapeutic agent (i.e., PDX-1, or additional pancreatic transcription factors in adenovirus-vector) that efficiently converts a sub-population of liver cells into pancreatic islets phenotype and function, this approach allows the diabetic patient to be the donor of his own therapeutic tissue. The development of AIP cells is based on the licensed patents and knowhow. We believe that our major competitive advantage is in our cell transformation technology.
This technology was licensed based on the published work of Prof. Ferber. Prof. Ferber has developed this technology, as a researcher in THM, and has established a proof of concept that demonstrates the capacity to induce a shift in the developmental fate of cells in liver and convert them into pancreatic beta cell like cells. Furthermore, those cells were found to be resistant to the autoimmune attack.
We intend to develop our business by further developing the technology to a clinical stage. We intend to dedicate most of our capital to research and development with no expectation of revenue from product sales in the foreseeable future.
Recent Corporate Developments
Since the commencement of our first quarter ended February 28, 2014, we experienced the following corporate developments:
15
Private Placement
During the three months ended February 28, 2014, we issued 1,128,849 units to 13 investors in a non-brokered private placement, at a purchase price of $0.52 per unit for gross proceeds of $587,001. Each unit consisted of one share of our common stock and one non-transferable common share purchase warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to acquire one additional share of our common stock at a price of $0.52 per share for a period of three years. The units were actually issued on March 3, 2014.
We issued:
(i) |
1,032,695 of these units to 12 non-U.S. persons (as that term is defined in Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) in an offshore transaction in which we relied on the exemptions from the registration requirements provided for in Regulation S and/or Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended; and | |
(ii) |
96,152 of these units to one U.S. person, who is an accredited investor (as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), and in issuing these units to this person we relied on the exemptions from the registration requirements provided for in Rule 506 Regulation D and/or Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. |
Convertible Loans with Mediapark A.G.
On December 6, 2013, we entered into a convertible loan agreement with Mediapark A.G., a Marshall Islands company (Mediapark), pursuant to which Mediapark purchased an 8% unsecured convertible debenture (the Convertible Loan) in the aggregate principal amount of $100,000. On March 22, 2013, we entered into a similar convertible loan agreement with Mediapark in the aggregate principal amount of $250,000. The agreement states that if we complete equity financing prior to the maturity date of the loan, in an amount greater than $350,000, Mediapark would convert all our outstanding indebtedness into equity securities on the same terms as the current financing. As a result, on March 3, 2014, both loans in the aggregate amount of $370,772 (principle and interest) outstanding as of that date were converted into 713,023 shares of common stock at a price of $0.52 and 713,023 warrants to acquire additional shares of our common stock at a price of $0.52 per share for a period of three years in full payment of our indebtedness.
Former President and Chief Executive Officer
Effective December 23, 2013, Mr. Sav DiPasquale resigned as our President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. DiPasquales resignation was not as a result of any disagreement between our company or our policies. On the same date, we appointed Mr. Vered Caplan as interim President and Chief Executive Officer of our company until a replacement is named.
Effective as of January 24, 2014, we granted 368,393 stock options to Mr. DiPasquale as fully earned pursuant to his employment agreement with our company, which has now been terminated. Each stock option was exercisable at a price of $0.001 per option share until March 31, 2014, and the options are fully vested. The grant is subject to the terms of our 2012 stock option plan. On February 19, 2014, Mr. DiPasquale exercised 623,806 options at a price of $0.001 per share.
Kodiak Capital Group, LLC
In December 2013, we entered into a $3,000,000 common stock purchase agreement with Kodiak Capital Group, LLC, a Newport Beach-based institutional investor (Kodiak). On March 28, 2014, our registration statement covering the shares that may be issued to Kodiak under the terms of the common stock purchase agreement was declared effective by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), see Prospectus below. In connection with the entering of the stock purchase agreement, we have paid a commitment fee of 250,000 shares in restricted common shares of our company to Kodiak.
Our ability to put shares to Kodiak and obtain funds under the equity line is limited by the terms and conditions in the investment agreement dated December 13, 2013, including restrictions on when we may exercise our put rights, restrictions on the amount we may put to Kodiak at any one time, which is determined in part by the trading volume of our common stock, and a limitation on our ability to put shares to Kodiak. In addition, we do not expect the equity line to satisfy all of our funding needs, even if we are able and choose to take full advantage of the equity line.
16

The increase in current assets is due to the issuance of units of shares of common shares and warrants in a non-brokered private placement during the three months ended February 28, 2014, The increase in current liabilities was due to expended activities and the Mediapark Loan which was converted to equity in March 2014.

The increase in net cash used in operating activities in the three months ended February 28, 2014 is related to our expanded operations this quarter. The increase in cash provided by financing activities in the three months ended February 28, 2014 is mainly due to the $687,001 we raised during the quarter ended February 28, 2014, compared to $500,000 in the same quarter last year.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contained in Item 1 have been prepared assuming that the company will continue as a going concern. We have net losses for the period from inception (June 5, 2008) through February 28, 2014, of $ 11,384,289 as well as a negative cash flow from operating activities. Presently, we do not have sufficient cash resources to meet our plans in the 12 months following February 28, 2014. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Management is in the process of evaluating various financing alternatives, as we will need to finance future research and development activities and general and administrative expenses through fund raising in the public or private equity markets. Although there is no assurance that we will be successful with those initiatives, management believes that we will be able to secure the necessary financing as a result of ongoing financing discussions with third party investors and existing shareholders.
The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may be necessary should the company be unable to continue as a going concern. Our continuation as a going concern is dependent on our ability to obtain additional financing as may be required and ultimately to attain profitability.
Cash Requirements
Our plan of operation over the next 12 months is to:
initiate regulatory activities in Asia, Europe and the United states;
locate suitable centers and sign a collaboration agreement;
collaborate with clinical centers, specifically those performing Pancreatic Islet transplantations, in order to carry out clinical studies;
identify optional technologies for scale up of the cells production process (this activity will be carried out at subcontracted facilities of the Sheba Medical Center);
initialize efforts to validate the manufacturing process (in certified labs); and
raise sufficient capital to perform initial clinical safety testing.
We estimate our operating expenses for the next 12 months as of February 28, 2014 to be as follows:
19
Expenses | |||
Product development | $ | 3,649,083 | |
General and administrative | 605,360 | ||
Business development | 349,260 | ||
Total | $ | 4,603,703 |
Future Financing
We will require additional funds to implement our growth strategy for our new business. These funds may be raised through equity financing, debt financing, or other sources, which may result in further dilution in the equity ownership of our shares.
There can be no assurance that additional financing will be available to us when needed or, if available, that it can be obtained on commercially reasonable terms. If we are not able to obtain the additional financing on a timely basis should it be required, or generate significant material revenues from operations, we will not be able to meet our other obligations as they become due and we will be forced to scale down or perhaps even cease our operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that is material to stockholders.
Significant Accounting Policies
A comprehensive discussion of our significant accounting policies is included in the Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2013 filed with the SEC on February 19, 2014.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our interim president and chief executive officer (who is our principal executive officer) and our chief financial officer, treasurer, and secretary (who is our principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. The ineffectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures was due to material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting, described below.

Managements Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over our financial reporting. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, as required by Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer has conducted an assessment, including testing, using the criteria in Internal Control Integrated Framework, issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) (1992). Our system of internal control over financial reporting is 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. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.
Our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, conducted an evaluation of the design and operation of our internal control over financial reporting as of February 28, 2014 based on the criteria set forth in Internal Control Integrated Framework (1992) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. This evaluation included review of the documentation of controls, evaluation of the design effectiveness of controls, testing of the operating effectiveness of controls and a conclusion on this evaluation. Based on this evaluation, our management concluded our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of February 28, 2014. The ineffectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting was due to the following material weaknesses which are indicative of many small companies with small staff:
(i) |
inadequate segregation of duties consistent with control objectives; and | |
(ii) |
ineffective controls over period end financial disclosure and reporting processes. |
Our company plans to take steps to enhance and improve the design of our internal control over financial reporting. During the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we have not been able to remediate the material weaknesses identified above. To remediate such weaknesses, we plan to implement the following changes during our fiscal year ending November 30, 2014:
(i) |
appoint additional qualified personnel to address inadequate segregation of duties and ineffective risk management; and | |
(ii) |
adopt sufficient written policies and procedures for accounting and financial reporting. |
The remediation efforts set out in (i) is largely dependent upon our company securing additional financing to cover the costs of implementing the changes required. If we are unsuccessful in securing such funds, remediation efforts may be adversely affected in a material manner.
Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended February 28, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
