Therapeutics Reports Third Quarter 2022 Financial Results
Calif.-(BUSINESS WIRE)-November 10, 2022-AgeX Therapeutics, Inc. ("AgeX"; NYSE American: AGE), a
biotechnology company developing therapeutics for human aging and regeneration, reported its financial and operating results for the
quarter ended September 30, 2022.
and Capital Resources
the first quarter of 2022, AgeX borrowed the final $0.5 million of its available credit under its 2020 Secured Convertible Facility Agreement
with Juvenescence Limited ("Juvenescence"), and entered into a new Secured Convertible Promissory Note (the "Secured
Note") pursuant to which Juvenescence has agreed to provide to AgeX a $13,160,000 line of credit for a period of 12 months. AgeX
drew an initial $8,160,000 of the line of credit and used $7,160,000 to refinance the principal and the loan origination fees under its
2019 Loan Agreement with Juvenescence. The $8.0 million principal balance outstanding under the 2020 Loan Agreement will become due and
payable upon maturity on March 30, 2023.
the three months ended September 30, 2022, AgeX borrowed an additional $1.0 million under the Secured Note, and as of November 10, 2022,
AgeX had borrowed at total of $11,660,000 with $1.5 million of funds remaining for future borrowings under the Secured Note. The remaining
line of credit available may be drawn down from time to time until February 14, 2023 subject to Juvenescence's discretion to approve
each loan draw. The outstanding principal balance of the Secured Note will become due and payable on February 14, 2024.
addition, AgeX may sell shares of its common stock in "at-the-market" transactions through a Sales Agreement with Chardan
Capital, LLC as a sales agent. The market value of common shares that AgeX may sell in any 12 month period during the term of the Sales
Agreement will be limited to one-third of aggregate market value of AgeX common stock held by stockholders who would not be considered
"affiliates" of AgeX, determined in accordance with applicable SEC rules.
Concern Considerations
required under Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (ASC 205-40), AgeX evaluates
whether conditions and/or events raise substantial doubt about its ability to meet its future financial obligations as they become due
within one year after the date its financial statements are issued. Based on AgeX's most recent projected cash flows, AgeX believes
that its cash and cash equivalents and available sources of debt and equity capital would not be sufficient to satisfy AgeX's anticipated
operating and other funding requirements for the twelve months following the filing of AgeX's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the ability of AgeX to continue as
and cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $0.5 million as of September 30, 2022.
Quarter 2022 Operating Results
following comparisons exclude the impact of the operations of AgeX's former subsidiary LifeMap Sciences, Inc. ("LifeMap Sciences")
which have been presented in AgeX's consolidated financial results as discontinued operations for all periods presented due to
the disposition of AgeX's shares of LifeMap Sciences in a cash-out merger during March 2021.
Total revenues for the third quarter of 2022 were $9,000 as compared with $24,000 for the third quarter of 2021, primarily due to
the expiration of an NIH research grant, the full amount of which was funded as of December 31, 2021. This decrease was offset to some
extent by increased sales of research products by $7,000.
expenses: Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2022 were $1.6 million as compared to $1.7 million for the
same period in 2021.
and development expenses decreased to $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 from $0.3 million during the same
period of 2021 primarily reflecting a reduction of $0.1 million in scientific consulting and outside research and services expenses under
a sponsored research agreement with a university.
and administrative expenses remained consistent at $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. An increase
of $0.1 million in professional fees for legal services was offset by $0.1 million decrease in consulting expense.
expense, net: Total other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2022 consists primarily of $0.9 million of amortization
of deferred debt issuance costs to interest expense and other debt related expenses included in interest expense offset by $35,000 of
unrealized gain on the change in fair value of warrants issued to Juvenescence in connection with borrowings under the Secured Note.
Total other expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2021 consists primarily of $0.3 million of amortization of deferred
debt issuance costs to interest expense.
