AgeX Therapeutics Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results

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 March 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

2020 Loan Agreement

On January 31, 2022, AgeX borrowed an additional and final $0.5 million of its available credit under a Secured Convertible Facility Agreement, dated March 30, 2020 and as amended July 21, 2020 and November 12, 2020, with Juvenescence Limited (“Juvenescence”). AgeX has now drawn the full amount of the credit available under the 2020 Loan Agreement. The outstanding principal balance of the loans under the 2020 Loan Agreement will become due and payable on March 30, 2023.

2022 Secured Convertible Promissory Note and Security Agreement

On February 14, 2022, AgeX and Juvenescence entered into a 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 pay the outstanding principal and other amounts due as loan origination fees under its 2019 Loan Facility Agreement, as amended, with Juvenescence. The remaining $5 million of the line of credit may be drawn down from time to time through the first anniversary date subject to Juvenescence’s discretion to approve each loan draw. AgeX may not draw more than $1 million in any subsequent single draw. The outstanding principal balance of the Secured Note will become due and payable on February 14, 2024.

Going Concern Considerations

As 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 months ended March 31, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt regarding the ability of AgeX to continue as a going concern.

Balance Sheet Information

Cash, and cash equivalents, and restricted cash totaled $0.5 million as of March 31, 2022. Since April 1, 2022, AgeX has received an additional $1 million of cash through a loan from Juvenescence.

First Quarter 2022 Operating Results

Revenues: Total Revenues for the first quarter of 2022 were $5,000 as compared with $56,000 in the same period in 2021.

Operating expenses: Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were $2 million, as compared with $2.3 million for the same period in 2021.

Research and development expenses increased by approximately $0.1 million to $0.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 from $0.3 million during the same period in 2021. The net increase was primarily attributable to $0.1 million in scientific consulting, outside research and service expenses under a sponsored research agreement with a university.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased by $0.3 million to $1.7 million as compared to $2.0 million during the same period in 2021. The net decrease is primarily attributable to decreases of $0.3 million in professional fees for legal services and $0.2 million for consulting expenses. These decreases were offset to some extent by a $0.1 million increase in noncash stock-based compensation expense to consultants and directors and $0.1 million in insurance expense and certain non-recurring general office expenses incurred in 2022.

Other income (expense), net: Other expense, net in 2022 consists primarily of $544,000 amortization of deferred debt cost to interest expense, $20,000 other debt related expenses included in interest expense and $87,000 unrealized loss on change in fair value of warrants issued to Juvenescence in connection with borrowings under the Secured Note. Other income, net in 2021 consists primarily of $437,000 from forgiveness of a Paycheck Protection Program loan including accrued interest on February 19, 2021, offset by approximately $267,000 of amortization of deferred debt cost to interest expense.
