BUSINESS Business Overview PART I Orgenesis Inc., a Nevada corporation, is a global biotech company working to unlock the potential of cell and gene therapies (“CGTs”) in an affordable and accessible format. CGTs can be centered on autologous (using the patient’s own cells) or allogenic (using master banked donor cells) and are part of a class of medicines referred to as advanced therapy medicinal products (“ATMP”). We are mostly focused on autologous therapies, with processes and systems that are developed for each therapy using a closed and automated processing system approach that is validated for compliant production near the patient for treatment of the patient at the point of care (“POCare”). This approach has the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional commercial manufacturing methods that do not translate well to commercial production of advanced therapies due to their cost prohibitive nature and complex logistics to deliver such treatments to patients (ultimately limiting the number of patients that can have access to, or can afford, these therapies). To achieve these goals, we have developed a Point of Care Platform (“POCare Platform”) comprised of three enabling components: (i) a pipeline of licensed POCare advanced therapies that are designed to be processed and produced, (ii) automated closed POCare technology systems, and (iii) a collaborative worldwide network of POCare research institutes and hospitals (“POCare Network”). The POCare Platform relies, in particular, on the development of its own production capacity, known as “POCare Services”, the goal of which is to ensure that therapies are accessible at the point of treatment (the “POCare Center”). POCare Services, which have been expanding worldwide, are based on a global approach and local adaptation that allows replication and expansion. Global harmonization of the POCare Services is ensured by a central quality system, replicability of infrastructure and equipment and centralized monitoring and data management. The POCare Services include: ● ● ● ● ● ● Process development of therapies that are intended for use of the POCare Network; Adaptation of automation and closed systems to such therapies; Incorporation of the processing systems and the Good Manufacturing Practices (“GMP”) in the Orgenesis Mobile Processing Units and Labs (“OMPULs”); Tech transfers to required POCare Centers and training of local teams; Processing and supply of the therapies and required supplies under GMP conditions by the various POCare Centers, including required quality control testing; and Contract Research Organization (“CRO”) services for clinical trials. POCare Centers are the decentralized hubs that provide harmonized services to customers and partners. We are working to provide a more efficient and scalable pathway for advanced therapies to reach patients more rapidly at lowered costs. The workflow of a POCare Center is designed to allow rapid capacities expansion while integrating new technologies. We also draw upon extensive medical expertise to identify promising new autologous therapies to leverage within the POCare Platform either via ownership or licensing. 5 The POCare Network brings together patients, doctors and industry partners with a goal of achieving harmonized, regulated clinical development and production of POCare advanced therapies. We have worked to develop and validate POCare technologies that can be combined within mobile production units for advanced therapies. We have made significant investments in the development of several types of OMPULs with the expectation of use and/or distribution through our POCare Network and/or partners, collaborators, and regional distributors. As of the date of this report, the OMPULs have been adapted for processing of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy (“CAR-T”), tumor infiltrating lymphocyte (“TIL”) TILS and mesenchymal stem cell (“MSC”) based products and are in the qualification stage for clinical use in various locations. Additional OMPULs are still in the development stage. OMPULs are designed for the purpose of validation, development, performance of clinical trials, manufacturing and/or processing of potential or approved advanced therapy products in a safe, reliable, and cost-effective manner at the point of care, as well as the manufacturing of such CGTs in a consistent and standardized manner in all locations. The OMPUL design delivers a potential industrial solution for us to deliver CGTs to practically any clinical institution at the point of care. We have continued to grow our infrastructure and expand our processing sites into new markets and jurisdictions. In addition, we have continued investing manpower and financial resources to focus on developing, processing and rolling out several types of OMPULs to be used and/or distributed through our POCare Network and/or partners, collaborators, and regional distributors. POCare Platform Operations via Subsidiaries We currently conduct our core business operations ourselves and through our subsidiaries which are all wholly-owned except as otherwise stated below (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). The Subsidiaries are as follows: United States ● ● ● Orgenesis Maryland Inc. (the “U.S. Subsidiary”) is the center of activity in North America and is currently focused on setting up and providing POCare Services to the POCare Network. Koligo Therapeutics, Inc. (“Koligo”) is a Kentucky corporation that we acquired in 2020. Koligo is a regenerative medicine company, specializing in developing personalized cell therapies. It is currently focused on commercializing its metabolic pipeline via the POCare network throughout the United States and in international markets. Orgenesis CA, Inc. (the “California subsidiary”) is a Californian subsidiary incorporated in 2021 and is currently focused on development of our technologies and therapies in California. 6 Europe ● ● ● Asia ● ● ● Orgenesis Belgium SRL (the “Belgian Subsidiary”) is currently focused on expanding our POCare network in Europe, process development and the preparation of European clinical trials. Orgenesis Switzerland Sarl (the “Swiss Subsidiary”), was incorporated in October 2020, and is currently focused on providing management services to us. Orgenesis Germany GmbH (incorporated in 2021) (the “German subsidiary”) is currently focused on providing CRO services to the POCare Network. Korea: Orgenesis Korea Co. Ltd. (the “Korean Subsidiary”), is a provider of processing and pre-clinical services in Korea. We own 94.12% of the Korean Subsidiary. Orgenesis Ltd. in Israel (the “Israeli Subsidiary”) is a provider of regulatory, clinical and pre-clinical services in Israel. Orgenesis Biotech Israel Ltd. (“OBI”) is a provider of process development and cell-processing services in Israel. Discontinued Operations In February 2020, we and GPP-II Masthercell LLC (“GPP”) sold 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Masthercell Inc. (the “Masthercell Business”), which comprised the majority of our CDMO Business, to Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. We determined that the Masthercell Business (“Discontinued Operations”) met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation as of the first quarter of 2020. The Discontinued Operation includes the vast majority of the previous CDMO Business, including majority-owned Masthercell Inc and its subsidiaries. Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products Overview ATMP means one of any of the following medicinal products that are developed and commercialized for human use: ● ● ● A somatic cell therapy medicinal product (“STMP”) that contains cells or tissues that have been manipulated to change their biological characteristics or cells or tissues not intended to be used for the same essential functions in the body. A tissue engineered product (“TEP”) that contains cells or tissues that have been modified so that they can be used to repair, regenerate, or replace human tissue. A gene therapy medicinal product (“GTMP”) that engineers genes that lead to a therapeutic, prophylactic, or diagnostic effect and, in many cases, work by inserting “recombinant” genes into the body, usually to treat a variety of diseases, including genetic disorders, cancer, or long-term diseases. In this case, a recombinant gene is a stretch of DNA that is created in the laboratory, bringing together DNA from different sources. It is important to note that although STMPs and GTMPs currently dominate the market, in order to access the market potential and trends in the future, other cell products are likely to be essential in all of these categories. We believe that autologous therapies represent a substantial segment of the ATMP market. Autologous therapies are produced from a patient’s own cells versus allogeneic therapies that are mass-cultivated from donor cells via the construction of master and working cell banks, are then produced on a large scale. Developers and manufacturers of ATMPs (both autologous and allogeneic) currently rely heavily on production using traditional centralized supply chains and manufacturing sites. 7 CGTs are costly and complex to produce. We also refer to CGTs as “living” drugs since they are based on maintaining the cells vitality. Therefore, there is no possibility to sterilize the products, since such a process involves killing any living organism. Many of these therapies require sourcing of the patient’s cells, engineering them in a sterile environment and then transplanting them back to the patient (so-called “autologous” CGT). This presents multiple logistic challenges as each patient requires its own production batch, and the current processes involve complex laboratory-based types of manipulations requiring highly trained lab technicians. We are leveraging a unique approach to therapy production using the POCare Platform to potentially overcome some of the development and supply chain challenges of affordably bringing autologous therapies to patients. Allogeneic therapies are costly and complex to produce because autologous therapies are derived from the treated patient and manufactured through a defined protocol before re-administration. We are leveraging a unique approach to therapy production using the POCare Platform to potentially overcome some of the development and supply chain challenges of bringing autologous therapies to patients affordably.

KYSLECEL® (Autologous Pancreatic Islets) KYSLECEL is made from a patient’s own pancreatic islets – the cells that make insulin to regulate blood sugar. KYSLECEL is intended to preserve insulin secretory capacity in chronic or acute recurrent pancreatitis patients after total pancreatectomy (TP-IAT). KYSLECEL is a minimally manipulated autologous cell-based product available in the United States and regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). KYSLECEL is produced according to current good tissue practices (cGTP) and in compliance with federal and state regulations. We are planning on initiating an observational study in the US to gain insight into KYSLECEL patient outcomes. Substantial efforts are being invested in promoting the process development and the marketing of KYSLECEL in the European Union. In May 2021 we submitted a request for classification to Committee for Advanced Therapies (CAT) to the European Medicines Agency (EMA), who classified KYSLECEL as not being an Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMP). We have identified relevant Key Opinion Leaders (KOL) and established contact with islet transplantation/pancreas surgery centers in Germany and Switzerland. We are adjusting the KYSLECEL Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) for European requirements for the initiation for the first clinical application. We are also monitoring the Chinese market for potential partners. Furthermore, we are training teams who will manage introduction into new markets by supporting the KYSLECEL tech transfer, as well as working on the OMPUlization process so as to manufacture via automated closed systems. 2. Tissue Genesis Icellator® for Cell Assisted Lipotransfer The Tissue Genesis Icellator is a point-of-care medical device that isolates stromal and vascular fraction cells (“SVF”) from a patient’s own (autologous) adipose tissue (fat). The Icellator is commercially available in Korea through a medical device distributor. The SVF obtained from the Icellator is for use in cell-assisted lipotransfer, a plastic surgery procedure intended to improve fat engraftments. 3. Cartil-S Autologous Products for the Treatment of Osteoarthritis Cartil-S is a cell therapy for Osteoarthritis. This product is produced by performing a minimally invasive biopsy of adipose (fat) tissue from a patient, followed by isolation and expansion of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs), to be injected arthroscopically. The autologous injectable product helps delay/stop the progression of osteoarthritis, involving the patient’s own stem cells. 4. Chondroseal Autologous Products for the Treatment of Cartilage Defects (Osteoarthritis) Chondroseal is a cell therapy for cartilage defects. Following collection of adipose tissue by minimally invasive biopsy that is composed of ADSCs, the cells are combined with a natural gel serving as a scaffold for local cartilage regeneration in the joint. Products in Clinical Trials 5. RanTop, Ranpirnase Topical Formulation We are currently developing a novel topical formulation of an active RNA-degrading enzyme, called Ranpirnase. Ranpirnase combats viral infections by targeting double-stranded RNA including miRNA precursors, via RNA degradation catalysis. It acts through a dual mechanism: 1) Inhibition of viral replication; and 2) induction of host cell apoptosis. Topical Ranpirnase demonstrated good tolerability and preliminary clinical efficacy in the treatment of HPV-associated external anogenital warts (EGW) in a Phase 2a clinical study conducted in Bolivia. 9 During 2021 we prepared a detailed pre-IND briefing package and received positive pre-IND feedback from the FDA on the development plan and proposed clinical study under an IND of topical Ranprinase for the treatment of EGW. The FDA generally confirmed that the proposed preclinical development plan should support a Phase 2b study of topical Ranprinase in EGW. The proposed plan included a dermal toxicology study using the gel formulation. We have demonstrated in laboratory experiments the feasibility of Ranprinase encapsulation in the Orgenesis Bioxome delivery platform. Encapsulation enhanced Ranprinase anti-viral activity in an in-vitro test. We have also shown feasibility of producing an active recombinant Ranprinase. Recombinant production could in the future replace the sourced Ranprinase to improve manufacturing scalability, eliminate dependence on procurement of rana pipiens frog oocytes and potentially decrease production cost. 6. Tissue Geneseis Icellator® for Erectile Dysfunction and COVID-19 (SVF-CLI-ED) The safety of the Tissue Genesis Icellator, and use of SVF produced by the Icellator, has previously been tested in a number of pilot clinical trials in the United States. Orgenesis has prioritized the clinical development of the Icellator for potential use in the treatment of erectile dysfunction and COVID-19 related respiratory complications. In 2021, the FDA approved our investigational device exemption (IDE) for a Pilot Clinical Trial of the Tissue Genesis Icellator to treat Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) resulting from COVID-19 infection. The Tissue Genesis Icellator is also being used by research collaborators in FDA-regulated clinical trials to test the use of SVF during rotator cuff surgery. Products in IND Enabling Studies 7. Generation of Autologous Insulin-Producing Cells (AIPs) from Adult Liver Cells (“trans-differentiation technology”) Orgenesis Ltd. has trans-differentiation in-vitro technology that has demonstrated in animal models the capacity to induce a shift in the developmental fate of cells from the liver or other tissues, transdifferentiating them into “pancreatic beta cell-like” AIP cells for patients with Type 1 Diabetes (“T1D”), acute pancreatitis and other insulin deficient diseases. For the treatment of diabetes, cells are derived from the liver or other adult tissue and are trans-differentiated to become AIP cells. This technology has shown in relevant animal models that the human derived AIP cells produce insulin in a glucose-sensitive manner. No adverse effects were observed in any of the animal studies. This trans-differentiation technology is licensed by the Israeli Subsidiary and is based on the work of Prof. Sarah Ferber, a researcher at Tel Hashomer Medical Research Infrastructure and Services Ltd. (“THM”) in Israel. The development plan calls for conducting additional pre-clinical safety and efficacy studies with respect to diabetes and other potential indications prior to initiating human clinical trials. With respect to the trans-differentiation technology, we have exclusive rights to eight (8) United States and twenty four (24) foreign issued patents, two (2) pending patent applications in the United States, eleven (11) pending patent applications in foreign jurisdictions, including, Brazil, Canada, Europe, Israel, Panama, South Korea, and Singapore. These patents and patent applications relate, among others, to the trans-differentiation of cells (including hepatic cells) to cells having pancreatic β-cell-like phenotype and function and to their use in the treatment of degenerative pancreatic disorders, including diabetes, pancreatic cancer and pancreatitis. On June 11, 2019, the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation for our AIP cells as a cell replacement therapy for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia-prone diabetes resulting from total pancreatectomy (“TP”) due to chronic pancreatitis. On April 29, 2019, we received Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) approval to collect liver biopsies from patients at Rambam Medical Center located in Haifa, Israel for a planned study to confirm the suitability of liver cells for personalized cell replacement therapy for patients with insulin-dependent diabetes resulting from total or partial pancreatectomy. The first patients were enrolled during 2020. The goal of the proposed study, entitled “Collection of Human Liver Biopsy and Whole Blood Samples from Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), Total or Partial Pancreatectomy Patients for Potential use as an Autologous Source for Insulin Producing Cells in Future Clinical Studies,” is to confirm the suitability of the liver cells for personalized cell replacement therapy, as well as eligibility of patients to participate in a future clinical study, as defined by successful AIP cell production from their own liver biopsy. The secondary objective of the study is to evaluate patients’ immune response to AIPs based on the patient’s blood samples and followed by subcutaneous implantation into the patients’ arm which would represent the first human trial. 10 We have invested substantial efforts in the feasibility of upscaling the manufacturing process for expansion of liver cells to the number required for clinical application (i.e. approximately two billion cells). We were successful in developing the expansion protocols while maintaining the liver cells’ viability. However, the resulting cell expansion hampered the ability of the cells to efficiently transdifferentiate, as was determined in pre-clinical studies. Furthermore, combining the liver cells with alginate-based 3D scaffold failed to present significant potential of the scaffolds to support the cells’ survival in pre-clinical studies. We will consider if other indications require a lower number of cells. To date, we have not been successful in in identification of such other relevant therapies. The trans-differentiation technology is from a licensing agreement entered into as of February 2, 2012 by the Israeli Subsidiary and THM pursuant to which the Israeli Subsidiary, Orgenesis Ltd, was granted a worldwide royalty bearing and exclusive license (the “THM License Agreement”). By using therapeutic agents that efficiently convert 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. While we believe that this provides a major competitive advantage to the cell transformation technology of the Israeli Subsidiary, we also believe that our expanded focus to other therapies and business activities may continue to prompt THM to inquire of such activities as they may relate to our compliance with the terms or direction of the THM License Agreement. While we have not received any notice of cancellation of the THM License Agreement, we have received an allegation regarding the scope of the rights by THM that may present future challenges for our Israeli Subsidiary to continue to develop, manufacture, sell and market the products pursuant to the milestones and time schedule specified in the development plan of the THM License Agreement. In addition, THM has filed a complaint against us in the Tel Aviv District Court relating to the scope of such THM License and the royalties and other payments that THM is entitled to thereunder. See “Legal Proceedings” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. 8. CAR-T CD19 ORG-CAR19, Autologous anti CD19 CAR-T Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (known as CAR-T cells) are genetically engineered to express an artificial T-cell receptor for cancer immunotherapy. The promise of CAR-T immunotherapy is to engineer T cells to effectively recognize a specific antigen present on cancer cells to destroy those cells. CAR-T cells can be either derived from the patient’s own T cells (autologous) or from T cells of a healthy donor (allogeneic). Once isolated from a person, these T cells are genetically engineered to express a specific CAR, which programs them to target an antigen present on the surface of tumors. After CAR-T cells are infused into a patient, they act as a “living drug” against cancer cells expressing the target antigen. We are developing a new anti-CD19 CAR-T therapy for treating patients with B-cell malignancies including acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Malignant B cells of these patients express the CD19 protein on their surface that is targeted by the CAR-T cells. Orgenesis anti-CD19 CAR-T is based on a clinically used CAR-T therapy licensed from Kecellitics Biotech. 9. Dual Cellular vaccine (DUVAC), Therapy for Pancreatic Cancer The DUVAC cell-based immunotherapy, licensed from Columbia University, is based on autologous dendritic cells and macrophages. These cells are key coordinators of the innate and adaptive immune system and have critical roles in the induction of antitumor immunity. The cells are exposed to whole cancer cells and constitute the most comprehensive source of cancer antigens, which may boost the patient immune system and direct it against the tumor. We believe that a vaccine based on DUVAC vaccine can potentially be developed for a wide range of solid tumors, but our initial focus is on pancreatic cancer. We have signed a Material Transfer Agreement with a leading medical center in the US for their clinical grade pancreatic tumor cell lines to be used for proof-of concept 11 10. Metabolically Optimized T-Cells (MOTC): Therapy for melanoma and lung cancer In the early stages of cancer, some lymphocytes successfully attack and infiltrate the tumor microenvironment, surround the tumor cells, and mount an anti-tumor response. TIL therapy is a clinically validated personalized cancer treatment based on infusion of autologous TILs expanded ex vivo from tumors. Once expanded, the TILs are infused back into the patient where they attack the cancer cells with a high degree of specificity. We have recently licensed new technology to optimize the manufacturing process from the Yeda Research and Development Company Limited. The technology was developed as a synthetic immune niche technology. The technology will support and accelerate the expansion and function of TILs, Products in Pre-Clinical Studies 11. Autologous Cell-Based Vaccine for protecting against SARS-CoV-2 We continue working on developing a cell-based vaccine platform for the prevention of viral diseases. The initial target for the platform is SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, the causative agent of COVID-19). This cell-based vaccine platform utilizes an autologous approach. The goal is to enable the COVID-19 engineered cells will have the ability to activate an endogenous immune response and induce the production of neutralizing antibodies as well as cellular response. 12. Bioxomes Exosomes are small, membrane-enclosed extracellular vesicles implicated in cell-to-cell communication. Exosomes may serve as a valuable therapeutic modality because of their ability to transfer a wide variety of therapeutic payloads among cells that can influence a cell in multiple ways, and they can be designed to reach specific cell types. Natural cell membranes (biomimetics) have recently emerged as a new source of materials for molecular delivery systems. Because cell membrane-derived vesicles contain the intrinsic functionalities and signaling networks of their parent cells, they can overcome various obstacles encountered by synthetic liposomes in vivo (including immunogenecity concerns) To this end, we have developed a proprietary manufacturing process for preparation of the natural exosome-mimetic/liposome, termed BioxomeTM, a large-scale GMP-compatible production protocol that will potentially allow us to obtain Bioxome from various cell types, including human adipose cells, fibroblasts, blood cells, as well as plant cells. Various therapeutic cargos (including modified mRNA) can be encapsulated into the Bioxome during its manufacture. Once injected systemically, Bioxomes naturally fuse with the cell membrane and release therapeutic cargo. In 2021, we assessed Bioxome biodistribution of the non-loaded Bioxome upon its systemic administration in rodents. This study had demonstrated a rapid and preferential uptake of the Bioxome by the liver, followed (to a lesser extent) by the kidney and lungs. Further biodistribution studies with Bioxome-encapsulated RNAse and Bioxome-encapsulated mRNA are planned for 2022. In addition, accelerated anti-COVID19 efficacy was demonstrated for Bioxome-incorporated Ranprinase in an in vitro COVID-19 infection model, and we will conduct further studies to determine if Bioxome can be a vehicle for effective delivery of antiviral compounds. 13. .Mesenchymal stem cell Psoriasis (“MSCP”) We are developing a personalized cell-based therapy product for wound healing and psoriasis. The product is based on allogeneic Adipose-Derived Stem Cells (ADSCs). Following expansion, the ADSCs are used for the extraction of BioxomeTM. We have established a process for encapsulation of Topiramate, a well-known substrate used in other indications, during the Bioxome manufacture. The Bioxome-encapsulated Topiramate (Biox-Top) will be further formulated in commercially available hyaluronic acid (HA), a well-known dermal filler, for topical application. Regulatory approval is required for this process. The developed manufacture-encapsulation protocol is currently being scaled-up for the future production of the clinical grade Biox- Top for topical administration. Promising anti-inflammatory efficacy of the Biox-Top was demonstrated in the human skin explants that were subjected to inflammation. After demonstrating in vivo efficacy in the animal models of psoriasis, we plan to further advance this product to clinical development. 12 14. Muscle-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Human Regenerative Medicine An innovative and patented technology licensed from a licensing partner that enables the isolation of pluripotent adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) from a minimally invasive muscle micro-biopsy. The isolated autologously undifferentiated muscle-derived MSCs are developed for local administration into the muscle to correct muscle-related clinical indications, such as Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). In 2021, promising results were obtained in an in-vivo model of SUI demonstrating robust therapeutic efficacy of locally injected human muscle-derived MSCs (MD-MSCs) in reversing the development of SUI in nude rats. Moreover, both nerve regeneration and functional restoration of the muscle tissue was observed. In addition, we are working to establish the regulatory path and are preparing all relevant documentation for potential clinical implementation of MD-MSCs. 15. Kidney Disease We are also developing multiple proprietary cell and cell derived products therapies for treating kidney failure and End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD). We have made progress in the establishment of the enrichment process of extracellular vesicles (EV) replacement therapy for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. 16. KT-DM-103 and KT-CP-203 (3D-Printed Pancreatic Islets) We, through our Koligo acquisition, have exclusively licensed patents and technology from the University of Louisville Research Foundation related to the revascularization and 3D printing of cell and tissue for transplant (“3D-V” technology platform). We are developing this technology for potential autologous and allogeneic pancreatic islet transplant to treat type 1 diabetes (KT-DM-103) and chronic pancreatitis (KT-CP-203). The 3D-V technology platform may also support improved transplantation of other cell and tissue types in additional to pancreatic islets. POCare Platform Strategy 13 Our aim is to provide a pathway to bring ATMPs in the cell and gene therapy industry from research to patients worldwide through our POCare Platform. We define point of care as a process of collecting, processing, and administering cells as close as possible to the clinical setting. We believe that this approach is an attractive proposition for personalized medicine because of our strategic partnerships with suppliers that help us to customize closed systems into effective mobile clean room facilities. This will potentially help to minimize or eliminate the need for cell transportation, which is a high-risk and costly aspect of the supply chain, further allowing flexible production and patient treatment. The POCare Platform is a unique globally harmonized and decentralized CGT-processing infrastructure that offers cost-effective processing capacities with ease for scalability and reproducibility. By producing personalized cell and gene therapies (CGTs) at the point of care, we are able to add new capacity within months instead of years. Local decentralization: POCare Centers are set up in preferred regions, based on nearby hospitals’ capacity needs, and support the POCare model by providing POCare Services for the POCare Network. Global harmonization: the POCare Platform overcomes conventional processing challenges by enabling high quality standards and sterile, scalable onsite processing of CGTs orchestrated by the POCare centers to service local hospitals. Processing infrastructure is harmonized and reproducible using the Orgenesis Mobile Processing Unit and Lab technology (“OMPUL”). The use of an OMPUL can shorten implementation time from approximately 18-24 months to approximately 3-9 months, offers a more cost-effective environment and enables local scalability by connecting additional OMPULs. The network structure is supported and connected by the centralization of the harmonized best industry practices and standards to meet the highest quality standards (“QMS”, Quality Management System). Further global harmonization is implemented through standardization of the training programs, centralized data management and a unified supply chain. OMPULization of therapies: strong process development capabilities are critical for any CGT to scale. All therapeutic candidates must undergo some level of process development to move from the discovery phase to the clinical phase, if only to establish the same protocols under GMP. The POCare Platform takes process development to the next level, implementing a process we call OMPULization. OMPULization includes unitizing the process to the exact specifications of the OMPUL so it can be rapidly implemented in OMPULs around the world. In addition, OMPULization incorporates the latest technology solutions to close and automate the process whenever possible. Integrated closed and automated processing systems require fewer Full Time Employees (“FTEs”) to produce GMP batches, resulting in lower COGs and a process that has the ability to scale in sync with market demand. Full automation may not be necessary for all clinical phases, but it is important to plan for future incorporation. To this end, we have invested time and capital into evaluating relevant technology for CGT processing and have developed proprietary equipment that did not exist in the marketplace. We aim to build value in various aspects of our company ranging from supply related processes including development and distribution systems, clinical and regulatory services, engineering and devices such as OMPULs discussed below, delivery systems, therapies including immuno-oncology, anti-aging, anti-viral, metabolic, nephrology, dermatology, orthopedic, as well as regenerative technologies. Over time, we have worked to develop and validate POCare Technologies that can be combined within mobile production units for advanced therapies. We have made significant investments in the development of several types of OMPULs and have made significant progress in the validation, risk analysis, regulatory and other related tasks relating to the OMPULs. We anticipate distributing and using the OMPULs through our POCare Network of partners, collaborators, and regional partners. OMPULs are designed for the purpose of validation, development, performance of clinical trials, manufacturing and/or processing of potential or approved cell and gene therapy products in a safe, reliable, and cost-effective manner at the point of care, as well as the manufacturing of such CGTs in a consistent and standardized manner in all locations. The design delivers a potential industrial solution for us to deliver CGTs to most clinical institutions at the point of care. 14 Above is a diagram of an OMPUL and partial interior for illustrative purposes only We have finalized or are in the process of finalizing the development of several POCare centers and, with the assistance of our partners, we are adapting the local requirements of each partner with the target of achieving a capacity to process and supply CGTs per our existing manufacturing contracts. As we expand operations, we expect that the OMPUL setup costs will decline over time. Most of our POC revenue to date is in support of the implementation of our technologies and therapies in our partners’ POC activities, which we expect will be the basis for future royalties and supply revenues. We have embarked on a strategy of collaborative arrangements with strategically situated regional distributor partners around the world. We believe that these partners have the expertise, experience and strategic location to advance our POCare Platform. Strategic CGT Therapeutics Collaborations Collaborations, partnerships, joint ventures and license agreements are a key component of our POC strategy. Our POC technology collaborators and partners include Ori Biotech, Accelix, Columbia University in the City of New York, Caerus Therapeutics Corporation, UC Davis, The Johns Hopkins University, The Weizman Institute of Science and others.

The subsidiary supports quality assurance and supply activities for the global POCare network. Notable 2021 Activities In 2021, we have focused on setting up our regional POCare activities. This included the setup of POCare Centers that oversee regional development and GMP services, local OMPUL deployment and supply of products to the local clinical centers. We are in the process of setting up POCare Centers in Maryland, Boston, California, Belgium, Greece, Slovenia, Israel, Italy, Spain and Korea. Future set-up plans include potential sites in the U.S. and EU where we already have initial activity such as in Germany and Texas, as well as in Australia and China. As part of our POCare Services, we have developed the relevant GMP processes for a variety of therapies such as CAR-T, TILs, NK and MSC based therapies. We have developed OMPULs with the required systems for production of CAR-T, TILs and MSC products, and are working on several other therapies intended for clinical testing. We have worked closely with technology partners to adapt various systems for closed system production of the above products and continue our collaboration efforts to develop fully automated systems for integration in the OMPULs. We expanded our collaboration with UC Davis and have completed the first production batch of GMP grade lentivirus to be utilized for clinical grade production of CAR-Ts. We have expanded our partnership with Johns Hopkins University and are setting up a GMP facility with the support of a grant from Maryland. We are providing products to several hospitals in the U.S., are working closely with leading hospitals in Spain and Italy and are working closely with clinicians from hospitals in Israel, where we have deployed our OMPULs to set up additional clinical sites where we can provide POCare Services for our customers and partners. Based on the requests of our customers and partners, we have expanded our POCare Services to include CRO services. We have collaborated closely with our Greek partner, Theracell, and have set up a partnership in Greece focusing on delivering advanced therapies to Greek hospitals. The Greek government has granted our Greek joint venture entity a “fast track” status and a supportive financial grant. Our POCare Services are expanding to additional geographies, and we are providing services to the U.S., EU, and Asia. Revenue Model, Business Development and Licenses The Orgenesis Point of Care (POCare) Platform is comprised of three enabling components: a multitude of licensed cell based POCare Therapeutics to be produced in closed, automated POCare Technology systems across a collaborative POCare Network. Our therapies include, but are not limited to, autologous, cell-based immunotherapies, therapeutics for metabolic diseases, anti-viral diseases, and tissue regeneration. We are establishing and positioning the business to bring point-of-care therapies to patients in a scalable way working directly with hospitals and through regional JV partners and JVs active in autologous cell therapy product development, including facilities in various countries in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia. The POCare Platform’s goal is to enable a rapid, globally harmonized pathway for these therapies to reach large numbers of patients at lowered costs through efficient, and decentralized production. The POCare Network brings together industry partners, research institutes and hospitals worldwide to achieve harmonized, regulated clinical development and production of the therapies. 17 We are focused on technology in licensing and therapeutic collaborations, and we out license therapies marketing rights and manufacturing rights to partners and/or to the JVs. In many cases, the JVs are responsible for the preparation of clinical trials, local regulatory approvals and regional marketing activities. Such licensing includes exclusive or nonexclusive, sublicensable, royalty bearing rights and license to the Orgenesis Background IP as required to manufacture, distribute and market and sell Orgenesis products within the relevant territories. In consideration of the rights and the licenses so granted, we receive a royalty in the range of ten percent of the net sales generated by the JV Entity and/or its sublicensees (as applicable) with respect to the Orgenesis products. In addition, in many cases, once the JV entities become profitable, we are entitled (in addition to any of its rights as holder of the JV Entity and prior to any other distributions of dividends by the JV Entity to shareholders of the JV Entity) and in addition to any royalties to which we may be entitled pursuant to a Orgenesis License Agreement, to receive from the JV entity royalties at a range of 10 to 15 percent of the JV entity’s audited US GAAP profit after tax. Further to revenues generated from out licenses we generate revenues from POCare Services and sales which is comprised of: ● R&D services provided to out-licensing partners We have signed POCare Master Services Agreements (“MSAs”) with our JV partners. In terms of the MSAs, we provide certain broadly defined development services that relate to our licensed therapies designed to develop or enhance the therapy with the objective of preparing it for clinical use. Such services, per therapy, include regulatory services, pre-clinical studies, intellectual property services, development services, and GMP process translation. We also provide support services to our customers. ● Hospital supply Hospital services includes the sale or lease of products and the performance of processing services to our POCare hospitals or other medical providers. We either work directly with hospitals or receive payments through our regional JV partnerships. ● Cell process development revenue We provide cell process development services in some regions to third party customers. Those services are unique to the customers who retain the ownership of the intellectual property created through the process. Our POCare therapy revenue is as follows: Revenue stream: POC and hospital services (Mainly POC) Cell process development services Total Years Ended December 31, 2020 2021 (in thousands) 32,819 $ 2,683 35,502 $ 6,068 1,584 7,652 $ $ Cost of Services and other Research and Development Expenses, net We incurred $ 36,644and $83,986 thousand in cost of services and other research and development expenses, net in the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, of which $196 thousand was covered by grant funding in the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. Part of the expense was funded by share issues. Our research and development scope was expanded to the evaluation and development of new cell therapies related technologies in the field of immuno-oncology, liver pathologies and tissue regeneration. 18 Competition in the Cell Therapy Field The biopharmaceutical industry is intensely competitive. There is continuous demand for innovation and speed, and as the cell-based therapies market evolves, there is always the risk that a competitor may be able to develop other compounds or drugs that are able to achieve similar or better results for indications. Potential competition includes major multinational pharmaceutical companies, established biotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies, universities, and other research institutions. Many of these competitors have substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources, such as larger research and development staff and experienced marketing and manufacturing organizations with established sales forces. Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large, established companies. Currently, we are not aware of any other companies pursuing a business model similar to what we are developing under our POCare Platform. However, our competitors in the CGT field who are significantly larger and better capitalized than us could undertake strategies similar to what we are pursuing and even develop them at a much more rapid rate. These potential competitors include the same multinational pharmaceutical companies, established biotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies, universities, and other research institutions that are operating in the CGT field. In that respect, smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large, established companies. Intellectual Property We will be able to protect our technology and products from unauthorized use by third parties only to the extent it is covered by valid and enforceable claims of our patents or is effectively maintained as trade secrets. Patents and other proprietary rights are thus an essential element of our business. Our success will depend in part on our ability to obtain and maintain proprietary protection for our product candidates, technology, and know-how, to operate without infringing on the proprietary rights of others, and to prevent others from infringing our proprietary rights. Our policy is to seek to protect our proprietary position by, among other methods, filing U.S. and foreign patent applications related to our proprietary technology, inventions, and improvements that are important to the development of our business. We also rely on trade secrets, know-how, continuing technological innovation, and in-licensing opportunities to develop and maintain our proprietary position. In addition, we own or have exclusive rights to thirty-two (32) United States patents, fifty-seven (57) foreign-issued patents, twenty- six (26) pending patent applications in the United States, fifty-four (54) pending patent applications in foreign jurisdictions, including Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Europe, Hong Kong, India, Israel, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, and South Korea, and six (6) international Patent Cooperation Treaty (“PCT”) patent applications.

Our and our customers’ products must undergo pre-clinical and clinical evaluations relating to product safety and efficacy before they are approved as commercial therapeutic products. The regulatory authorities that have jurisdiction in the countries in which our and our customers’ products are intended to be marketed may delay or put on hold clinical trials, delay approval of a product or determine that the product is not approvable. The regulatory agencies can delay approval of a drug if our manufacturing facilities or OMPULs are not able to demonstrate compliance with cGTPs, pass other aspects of pre-approval inspections (i.e., compliance with filed submissions) or properly scale up to produce commercial supplies. The government authorities having jurisdiction in the countries in which our customers intend to market their products have the authority to withdraw product approval or suspend manufacture if there are significant problems with raw materials or supplies, quality control and assurance or the product is deemed adulterated or misbranded. In addition, if new legislation or regulations are enacted or existing legislation or regulations are amended or are interpreted or enforced differently, we may be required to obtain additional approvals or operate according to different manufacturing or operating standards or pay additional fees. This may require a change in our manufacturing techniques or additional capital investments in our facilities. Certain products manufactured by us involve the use, storage and transportation of toxic and hazardous materials. Our operations are subject to extensive laws and regulations relating to the storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of materials into the environment and the maintenance of safe working conditions. We maintain environmental and industrial safety and health compliance programs and training at our facilities. 21 Prevailing legislation tends to hold companies primarily responsible for the proper disposal of their waste even after transfer to third party waste disposal facilities. Other future developments, such as increasingly strict environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, and enforcement policies, could result in substantial costs and liabilities to us and could subject the handling, manufacture, use, reuse or disposal of substances or pollutants at our facilities to more rigorous scrutiny than at present. Our development operations involve the controlled use of hazardous materials and chemicals. Although we believe that our procedures for using, handling, storing and disposing of these materials comply with legally prescribed standards, we may incur significant additional costs to comply with applicable laws in the future. Also, even if we are in compliance with applicable laws, we cannot completely eliminate the risk of contamination or injury resulting from hazardous materials or chemicals. As a result of any such contamination or injury, we may incur liability or local, city, state or federal authorities may curtail the use of these materials and interrupt our business operations. In the event of an accident, we could be held liable for damages or penalized with fines, and the liability could exceed our resources. Compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations is expensive, and current or future environmental regulations may impair our contract manufacturing operations, which could materially harm our business, financial condition and results of operations. The costs associated with complying with the various applicable local, state, national and international regulations could be significant and the failure to comply with such legal requirements could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Development and Regulatory Approval of Our Therapies and Product Candidates — Extensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our business, especially our product development, manufacturing and distribution capabilities.” for additional discussion of the costs associated with complying with the various regulations. POCare Therapies Portfolio Our therapeutic portfolio pipeline is diverse and addresses various unmet clinical needs. It is predominantly comprised of personalized autologous cell therapies, implying that patients receive cells that originate from their own body, virtually eliminating the risk of an immune response and rejection and thus easing various regulatory hurdles. In addition, by leveraging Orgenesis’ vast experience and proven track record in developing and optimizing cell processing, these selective therapies are adapted to be produced in closed, automated systems, reducing the need for high grade cleanroom environments. The systems enable each stage of the manufacturing process (cell sorting, expansion, genetic modifications, quality control) to be optimized in order to substantially reduce the cost burden for patients and making the therapies widely accessible. Notably, our therapeutic pipeline is developed by researchers from our network and are subsequently out-licensed and validated in multi-center clinical trials conducted across point of care partner sites leveraging the robustness of the Orgenesis network. Once approved these therapies are distributed to leading medical institutions globally within our network and thus granting the inventors a royalty-based commercialization horizon. Regulatory Process in the United States Our potential product candidates are subject to regulation as a biological product under the Public Health Service Act and the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act. The FDA generally requires the following steps for pre-market approval or licensure of a new biological product: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Pre-clinical laboratory and animal tests conducted in compliance with Good Laboratory Practice, or GLP, requirements to assess a drug’s biological activity and to identify potential safety problems, and to characterize and document the product’s chemistry, manufacturing controls, formulation, and stability; Submission to the FDA of an Investigational New Drug, or IND, application, which must become effective before clinical testing in humans can start; Obtaining approval of Institutional Review Boards, or IRBs, of research institutions or other clinical sites to introduce biologic drug candidates into humans in clinical trials; Conducting adequate and well-controlled clinical trials to establish the safety and efficacy of the product for its intended indication conducted in compliance with Good Clinical Practice, or GCP, requirements; Compliance with current GMP regulations and standards; Submission to the FDA of a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) for marketing that includes adequate results of pre- clinical testing and clinical trials; The FDA reviews the marketing application in order to determine, among other things, whether the product is safe, effective and potent for its intended uses; and Obtaining FDA approval of the BLA, including inspection and approval of the product manufacturing facility as compliant with GMP requirements, prior to any commercial sale or shipment of the pharmaceutical agent. The FDA may also require post marketing testing and surveillance of approved products or place other conditions on the approvals. 22 Regulatory Process in Europe In the European Union (“EU”) somatic cell and gene therapy products are called Advanced Therapy Medicinal Product (ATMPs). Since January 2022 the Clinical Trial Regulation (EU) 536/2014 regulates the application of medicinal products including ATMPs to humans immediately effective in all member states. In conjunction with Regulation 536/2014 the EU commission has released two delegated acts regulating manufacturing of investigational as well as marketed AMPs. For products that are regulated as an ATMP, the EU Regulation requires: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Compliance with current GMP regulations and standards, as described in the delegated acts Filing a Clinical Trial Application (“CTA”) in EU member states and EEA countries according to regulation 536/2014 via CTIS (Clinical Trial Information System) allowing a harmonized approval process among all member states (including multinational clinical trials) Obtaining approval by ethic committees responsible for medical institutions; Adequate and well-controlled clinical trials according to GCP standards protecting the well-being of a study participant and establishing the safety and efficacy of the product for its intended use; Centralized submission procedure for ATMPs via EMA for Marketing Authorization (“MA”); and Review and approval of the MAA (“Marketing Authorization Application”). As in the U.S., prior to the general regulatory process of a new biologic products, we will prosecute an Orphan Drug Designation for treatment of patients with Established “Diabetes Mellitus” (“DM”) Induced by Total pancreatectomy. In the EU, in order to be qualified, the prevalence must be below 5 per 10,000 of the EU population, except where the expected return on investment is insufficient to justify the investment. Authorized orphan medicines benefit from 10 years of protection from market competition with similar medicines with similar indications once they are approved. Companies applying for designated orphan medicines pay reduced fees for regulatory activities. This includes reduced fees for protocol assistance, marketing-authorization applications, inspections before authorization, applications for changes to marketing authorizations made after approval, and reduced annual fees. Exemption from the centralized procedure was introduced into the ATMP Regulation to allow marketing of certain ATMPs in individual EU member states. The so-called “hospital exemption” can only be applied for custom-made ATMPs used in a hospital setting for a specific patient by a treating physician. In addition, a competent authority must authorize hospital exemption for ATMPs. Hospital exemption products must comply with the same national requirements concerning quality, traceability and pharmacovigilance that apply to authorized medicinal products. The “hospital exemption” has to be applied for individually in each EU member state according to national procedures and control measures. 23 Clinical Trials Typically, both in the U.S. and the EU, clinical testing involves a three-phase process, although the phases may overlap. In Phase I, clinical trials are conducted with a small number of healthy volunteers or patients and are designed to provide information about product safety and to evaluate the pattern of drug distribution and metabolism within the body. In Phase II, clinical trials are conducted with groups of patients afflicted with a specific disease in order to determine preliminary efficacy, optimal dosages and expanded evidence of safety. In some cases, an initial trial is conducted in diseased patients to assess both preliminary efficacy and preliminary safety and patterns of drug metabolism and distribution, in which case it is referred to as a Phase I/II trial. Phase III clinical trials are generally large-scale, multi-center, comparative trials conducted with patients afflicted with a target disease in order to provide statistically valid proof of efficacy, as well as safety and potency. In some circumstances, the FDA or EMA may require Phase IV or post-marketing trials if it feels that additional information needs to be collected about the drug after it is on the market. During all phases of clinical development, regulatory agencies require extensive monitoring and auditing of all clinical activities, clinical data, as well as clinical trial investigators. An agency may, at its discretion, re-evaluate, alter, suspend, or terminate the testing based upon the data that have been accumulated to that point and its assessment of the risk/benefit ratio to the patient. Monitoring all aspects of the study to minimize risks is a continuing process. All adverse events must be reported to the FDA or EMA. The FDA has granted Orphan Drug designation for our AIP cells as a cell replacement therapy for the treatment of severe hypoglycemia-prone diabetes resulting from TP due to chronic pancreatitis. The FDA’s Orphan Drug Designation Program provides orphan status to drugs and biologics which are defined as those intended for the safe and effective treatment, diagnosis or prevention of rare diseases/disorders that affect fewer than 200,000 people in the United States. Orphan designation qualifies the sponsor of the drug for various development incentives, including eligibility for seven years of market exclusivity upon regulatory approval, exemption from FDA application fees, tax credits for qualified clinical trials, and other potential assistance in the drug development process. Employees As of December 31, 2021, we had an aggregate of 151 employees working at our company and subsidiaries. In addition, we retain the services of outside consultants for various functions including clinical work, finance, accounting and business development services. Most of our senior management and professional employees have had prior experience in pharmaceutical or biotechnology companies. None of our employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements. We believe that we have good relations with our employees.

RISK FACTORS Summary of Risk Factors Below is a summary of the principal factors that make an investment in our common stock speculative or risky. This summary does not address all of the risks that we face. Additional discussion of the risks summarized in this risk factor summary, and other risks that we face, can be found below under the heading “Risk Factors” and should be carefully considered, together with other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other filings with the SEC, before making an investment decision regarding our common stock. ● ● Our POC business has a limited operating history and an unproven business model and faces significant challenges as the cell therapy industry is rapidly evolving. Our prospects may be considered speculative and any failure to execute our business strategy could adversely impact our business. Our research and development efforts on novel technology using cell-based therapy and our future success is highly dependent on the successful development of that technology. 24 ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● We have entered into collaborations and may form or seek collaborations or strategic alliances or enter into additional licensing arrangements in the future, and we may not realize the benefits of such alliances or licensing arrangements. Our success will depend on strategic collaborations with third parties to develop and commercialize therapeutic product candidates, and we may not have control over a number of key elements relating to the development and commercialization of any such product candidate. Our business is affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and may be significantly adversely affected as the pandemic continues or if other events out of our control disrupt our business or that of our third party partners. Our success depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property and our proprietary technologies. Third parties may initiate legal proceedings alleging that we are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating their intellectual property rights, the outcome of which would be uncertain and could have a material adverse effect on the success of our business. Our success depends on our ability to develop and roll out our OMPULs. If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, we may incur substantial liabilities and may be required to limit commercialization of our product candidates. We are increasingly dependent on information technology and our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including cybersecurity and data storage risks. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop in-house sales and commercial distribution capabilities or establish or maintain relationships with third-party collaborators to successfully commercialize any product in the United States or overseas, and as a result, we may not be able to generate product revenue. Our product candidates may cause undesirable side effects or have other properties that could halt their clinical development, prevent their regulatory approval, limit their commercial potential, or result in significant negative consequences. Our product candidates are biologics and the manufacture of our product candidates is complex and we may encounter difficulties in production, particularly with respect to process development or scaling-out of our manufacturing capabilities. Cell-based therapies rely on the availability of reagents, specialized equipment, and other specialty materials, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. For some of these reagents, equipment, and materials, we rely or may rely on sole source vendors or a limited number of vendors, which could impair our ability to manufacture and supply our products. We currently have no marketing and sales organization and have no experience in marketing therapeutic products. If we are unable to establish marketing and sales capabilities or enter into agreements with third parties to market and sell our product candidates, we may not be able to generate product revenue. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop in-house sales and commercial distribution capabilities or establish or maintain relationships with third-party collaborators to successfully commercialize any product in the United States or overseas, and as a result, we may not be able to generate product revenue. 25 ● ● ● ● We face significant competition from other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, many of which have substantially greater financial, technical and other resources, and our operating results will suffer if we fail to compete effectively. We are highly dependent on key personnel who would be difficult to replace, and our business plans will likely be harmed if we lose their services or cannot hire additional qualified personnel. Extensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our business, especially our product development, manufacturing and distribution capabilities. Third parties to whom we may license or transfer development and commercialization rights for products covered by intellectual property rights may not be successful in their efforts and, as a result, we may not receive future royalty or other milestone payments relating to those products or rights. Risk Factors An investment in our common stock involves a number of very significant risks. You should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties in addition to other information in this report in evaluating our company and its business before purchasing shares of our company’s common stock. Our business, operating results and financial condition could be seriously harmed due to any of the following risks. You could lose all or part of your investment due to any of these risks. Risks Related to Our Company and POC Business Our POC business has a limited operating history and an unproven business model and faces significant challenges as the cell therapy industry is rapidly evolving. Our prospects may be considered speculative and any failure to execute our business strategy could adversely impact our operations and the price of our common stock. Our POC business has a limited operating history and an unproven business model. Our plans to continue to grow our POC cell therapy business and to further the development of ATMPs are subject to significant challenges. Although we have sufficient capital resources for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future, we may not be able to implement our POC business or commence clinical trials or respond to competitive pressures due to other non-financial factors beyond our control. Our failure to effectively execute our business strategy could adversely affect our ability to successfully grow our POC business and develop cell therapy product candidates, which could cause the value of your investment in our common stock to decline. We are not profitable as of December 31, 2021, have limited cash flow and, unless we increase revenues and take advantage of any commercial opportunities that arise to expand our POC business, the perceived value of our company may decrease and our stock price could be affected accordingly. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021 and as of the date of this report, we assessed our financial condition and concluded that we have sufficient resources for the next 12 months from the date of this report. Our auditor’s report for the year ended December 31, 2021 does not include a going concern opinion on the matter. However, management is unable to predict if and when we will be able to generate significant revenues or achieve profitability. Our plan regarding these matters is to continue improving the net results in our POC business into fiscal year 2022. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in increasing revenues, improving our POC results or that the perceived value of our company will increase. In the event that we are unable to generate significant revenues in our POC business, our stock price could be adversely affected. 26 Our research and development programs are based on novel technologies and are inherently risky. We are subject to the risks of failure inherent in the development of products based on new technologies. The novel nature of our cell therapy technology creates significant challenges with respect to product development and optimization, manufacturing, government regulation and approval, third-party reimbursement and market acceptance. For example, the FDA and EMA have relatively limited experience with the development and regulation of cell therapy products and, therefore, the pathway to marketing approval for our cell therapy product candidates may accordingly be more complex, lengthy and uncertain than for a more conventional product candidate. The indications of use for which we choose to pursue development may have clinical effectiveness endpoints that have not previously been reviewed or validated by the FDA or EMA, which may complicate or delay our effort to ultimately obtain FDA or EMA approval. Because this is a new approach to treating diseases, developing and commercializing our product candidates subjects us to a number of challenges, including: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● obtaining regulatory approval from the FDA, EMA and other regulatory authorities that have very limited experience with the commercial development of our technology for treating different diseases; developing and deploying consistent and reliable processes for removing the cells from the patient engineering cells ex vivo and infusing the engineered cells back into the patient; developing processes for the safe administration of these products, including long-term follow-up for all patients who receive our products; sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our products; developing a manufacturing process and distribution network with a cost of goods that allows for an attractive return on investment; establishing sales and marketing capabilities after obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance; and maintaining a system of post marketing surveillance and risk assessment programs to identify adverse events that did not appear during the drug approval process. Our efforts to overcome these challenges may not prove successful, and any product candidate we seek to develop may not be successfully developed or commercialized. Kyslecel may not achieve patient or market acceptance, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. Our commercialization strategy for Kyslecel relies on medical specialists, medical facilities and patients adopting TP-IAT with Kyslecel as an accepted treatment for chronic pancreatitis. However, medical specialists are historically slow to adopt new treatments, regardless of perceived merits, when older treatments continue to be supported by established providers. Overcoming such resistance often requires significant marketing expenditure or definitive product performance and/or pricing superiority. The cost of allocating resources for such requirements might severely impact the potential for profitability of Kyslecel. There is no guarantee that physician or patient acceptance of TP-IAT with Kyslecel will be substantial. Further, there is no guarantee that Koligo will be able to achieve patient acceptance or obtain enough customers (clinical providers) to meet its sales objectives. If we do not meet our sales objectives, our business prospects and financial performance will be materially and adversely affected. Further, we are partially reliant on published clinical trials and scientific research conducted by third parties to justify the patient benefit and safety of TP-IAT with Kyslecel and, as such, we rely, in part, on the accuracy and integrity of those third-parties to have reported the results and correctly collected and interpreted the data from all clinical trials conducted to date. If published data turn out to later be incorrect or incomplete, our business prospects and financial performance may be materially and adversely affected. The therapeutic efficacy of Ranpirnase and our other product candidates is unproven in humans, and we may not be able to successfully develop and commercialize Ranpirnase or any of our other product candidates. Ranpirnase and our other product candidates are novel compounds and their potential benefit as antiviral drugs or immunotherapies is unproven. Ranpirnase and our other product candidates may not prove to be effective against the indications for which they are being designed to act and may not demonstrate in clinical trials any or all of the pharmacological effects that have been observed in preclinical studies. As a result, our clinical trial results may not be indicative of the results of future clinical trials. 27 Ranpirnase and our other product candidates may interact with human biological systems in unforeseen, ineffective or harmful ways. If Ranpirnase or any of our other product candidates is associated with undesirable side effects or have characteristics that are unexpected, we may need to abandon the development of such product candidate or limit development to certain uses or subpopulations in which the undesirable side effects or other characteristics are less prevalent, less severe or more acceptable from a risk-benefit perspective. Because of these and other risks described herein that are inherent in the development of novel therapeutic agents, we may never successfully develop or commercialize Ranpirnase or any of our other product candidates, in which case our business will be harmed. We will need to grow the size and capabilities of our organization, and we may experience difficulties in managing this growth. As of December 31, 2021, we had 151 employees. As our development and commercialization plans and strategies develop, we must add a significant number of additional managerial, operational, sales, marketing, financial, and other personnel. Future growth will impose significant added responsibilities on members of management, including: ● ● ● identifying, recruiting, integrating, maintaining, and motivating additional employees; managing our internal development efforts effectively, including the clinical and FDA review process for our product candidates, while complying with our contractual obligations to contractors and other third parties; and improving our operational, financial and management controls, reporting systems, and procedures. Our future financial performance and our ability to commercialize our product candidates will depend, in part, on our ability to effectively manage any future growth, and our management may also have to divert a disproportionate amount of its attention away from day-to-day activities in order to devote a substantial amount of time to managing these growth activities. This lack of long-term experience working together may adversely impact our senior management team’s ability to effectively manage our business and growth. We currently rely, and for the foreseeable future will continue to rely, in substantial part on certain independent organizations, advisors and consultants to provide certain services. There can be no assurance that the services of these independent organizations, advisors and consultants will continue to be available to us on a timely basis when needed, or that we can find qualified replacements. In addition, if we are unable to effectively manage our outsourced activities or if the quality or accuracy of the services provided by consultants is compromised for any reason, our clinical trials may be extended, delayed, or terminated, and we may not be able to obtain regulatory approval of our product candidates or otherwise advance our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to manage our existing consultants or find other competent outside contractors and consultants on economically reasonable terms, if at all. If we are not able to effectively expand our organization by hiring new employees and expanding our groups of consultants and contractors, we may not be able to successfully implement the tasks necessary to further develop and commercialize our product candidates and, accordingly, may not achieve our research, development, and commercialization goals. We may require additional capital to support our business, and this capital may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. We intend to continue to make investments to support our business growth and may require additional funds to respond to business challenges and to grow our POC cell therapy business and to further the development of ATMPs. Accordingly, we may need to engage in equity or debt financings to secure additional funds. Capital and credit market conditions, adverse events affecting our business or industry, the tightening of lending standards, rising interest rates, negative actions by regulatory authorities or rating agencies, or other factors also could negatively impact our ability to obtain future financing on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate financing or financing on terms satisfactory to us when we require it, our ability to support our business growth and respond to business challenges could be significantly limited. In addition, the terms of any additional equity or debt issuances may adversely affect the value and price of our common stock, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. 28 If we raise additional funds through further issuances of equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders could suffer significant dilution, and any new securities we issue could have rights, preferences and privileges superior to those of holders of our common stock. Any financing secured by us in the future could include restrictive covenants relating to our capital raising activities and other financial and operational matters, which may make it more difficult for us to obtain additional capital and to pursue business opportunities, including potential acquisitions. In addition, on February 24, 2022, Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. The conflict may adversely impact macroeconomic conditions and increase volatility in and affect our ability to access capital markets and external financing sources on acceptable terms or at all. Our operations may be adversely affected by ongoing developments in the Ukraine and Russia. The Company has signed agreements with a company whose principal place of business is in Russia that include collaboration in point of care development in Russia, as well as the development and commercialization of potential key technologies for the Company’s clinical development and manufacturing projects. The United States, EU, UK, Canada and Japan have imposed sanctions against and export controls involving Russia, and other potential retaliatory measures could be taken by the United States and other countries. At this time, we cannot predict the outcome of developments in Russian and the Ukraine on these agreements. Currency exchange fluctuations may impact the results of our operations. The results of our operations are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates in both sourcing and selling locations. Our results of operations may still be impacted by foreign currency exchange rates, primarily, the euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate. In recent years, the euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate has been subject to substantial volatility which may continue, particularly in light of recent political events regarding the European Union, or EU. Because we do not hedge against all of our foreign currency exposure, our business will continue to be susceptible to foreign currency fluctuations. We have entered into collaborations and joint ventures and may form or seek collaborations or strategic alliances or enter into additional licensing arrangements in the future, and we may not realize the benefits of such alliances or licensing arrangements. We have entered into collaborations and joint ventures and may form or seek strategic alliances, create joint ventures or collaborations, or enter into additional licensing arrangements with third parties that we believe will complement or augment our development and commercialization efforts with respect to our product candidates and any future product candidates that we may develop. Any of these relationships may require us to incur non-recurring and other charges, increase our near and long-term expenditures, issue securities that dilute our existing stockholders, or disrupt our management and business. In addition, we face significant competition in seeking appropriate strategic partners for which the negotiation process is time-consuming and complex. Moreover, we may not be successful in our efforts to establish a strategic partnership or other alternative arrangements for our product candidates because they may be deemed to be at too early of a stage of development for collaborative effort and third parties may not view our product candidates as having the requisite potential to demonstrate safety and efficacy. Further, collaborations involving our product candidates, such as our collaborations with third-party research institutions, are subject to numerous risks, which may include the following: ● ● ● ● ● collaborators have significant discretion in determining the efforts and resources that they will apply to a collaboration; collaborators may not perform their obligations as expected; collaborators may not pursue development and commercialization of our product candidates or may elect not to continue or renew development or commercialization programs based on clinical trial results, changes in their strategic focus due to the acquisition of competitive products, availability of funding, or other external factors, such as a business combination that diverts resources or creates competing priorities; collaborators may delay clinical trials, provide insufficient funding for a clinical trial, stop a clinical trial, abandon a product candidate, repeat or conduct new clinical trials, or require a new formulation of a product candidate for clinical testing; collaborators could fail to make timely regulatory submissions for a product candidate; 29 ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● collaborators may not comply with all applicable regulatory requirements or may fail to report safety data in accordance with all applicable regulatory requirements; collaborators could independently develop, or develop with third parties, products that compete directly or indirectly with our products or product candidates; product candidates developed in collaboration with us may be viewed by our collaborators as competitive with their own product candidates or products, which may cause collaborators to cease to devote resources to the commercialization of our product candidates; a collaborator with marketing and distribution rights to one or more products may not commit sufficient resources to their marketing and distribution; collaborators may not properly maintain or defend our intellectual property rights or may use our intellectual property or proprietary information in a way that gives rise to actual or threatened litigation that could jeopardize or invalidate our intellectual property or proprietary information or expose us to potential liability; disputes may arise between us and a collaborator that cause the delay or termination of the research, development or commercialization of our product candidates, or that result in costly litigation or arbitration that diverts management attention and resources; collaborations may be terminated and, if terminated, may result in a need for additional capital to pursue further development or commercialization of the applicable product candidates; and collaborators may own or co-own intellectual property covering our products that results from our collaborating with them and, in such cases, we would not have the exclusive right to commercialize such intellectual property. As a result, if we enter into collaboration agreements and strategic partnerships or license our products or businesses, we may not be able to realize the benefit of such transactions if we are unable to successfully integrate them with our existing operations and company culture, which could delay our timelines or otherwise adversely affect our business. The success of our existing and future collaboration arrangements and strategic partnerships, which include research and development services by our collaborators to improve our intellectual property, will depend heavily on the efforts and activities of our collaborators and may not be successful. We also cannot be certain that, following a strategic transaction or license, we will achieve the revenue or specific net income that justifies such transaction. Any delays in entering into new collaborations or strategic partnership agreements related to our product candidates could delay the development and commercialization of our product candidates in certain geographies for certain indications, which would harm our business prospects, financial condition, and results of operations. Our success will depend on strategic collaborations with third parties to develop and commercialize therapeutic product candidates, and we may not have control over a number of key elements relating to the development and commercialization of any such product candidate. A key aspect of our strategy is to seek collaborations with partners, such as a large pharmaceutical organization, that are willing to further develop and commercialize a selected product candidate. To date, we have entered into a number of collaborative arrangements with cell therapy organizations. By entering into any such strategic collaborations, we may rely on our partner for financial resources and for development, regulatory and commercialization expertise. Our partner may fail to develop or effectively commercialize our product candidate because they: ● ● ● ● ● do not have sufficient resources or decide not to devote the necessary resources due to internal constraints such as limited cash or human resources; decide to pursue a competitive potential product developed outside of the collaboration; cannot obtain the necessary regulatory approvals; determine that the market opportunity is not attractive; or cannot manufacture or obtain the necessary materials in sufficient quantities from multiple sources or at a reasonable cost. We may not be able to enter into additional collaborations on acceptable terms, if at all. We face competition in our search for partners from other organizations worldwide, many of whom are larger and are able to offer more attractive deals in terms of financial commitments, contribution of human resources, or development, manufacturing, regulatory or commercial expertise and support. If we are not successful in attracting a partner and entering into a collaboration on acceptable terms, we may not be able to complete development of or commercialize any product candidate. In such event, our ability to generate revenues and achieve or sustain profitability would be significantly hindered and we may not be able to continue operations as proposed, requiring us to modify our business plan, curtail various aspects of our operations or cease operations. 30 Our business is affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and may be significantly adversely affected as the pandemic continues or if other events out of our control disrupt our business or that of our third party partners. While the extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and financial results is uncertain, a continued and prolonged public health crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic could have a material negative impact on our business, financial condition and operating results. We have experienced and may in the future experience disruptions from COVID-19 to our business in a number of ways, including: ● Delays in supply chain and manufacturing, including the suspension of cell transport, limitations on transfer of technology, shutdown of manufacturing facilities and delays in delivery of supplies and reagents; ● Delays in discovery and preclinical efforts; ● Changes to procedures or shut down, or reduction in capacity, of clinical trial sites due to limited availability of clinical trial staff, reduced number of inpatient intensive care unit beds for patients receiving cell therapies, diversion of healthcare resources away from clinical trials and other business considerations; ● Limited patient access, enrollment and participation due to travel restrictions and safety concerns, as well as housing and travel difficulties for out of town patients and relatives; and ● Changes in regulatory and other requirements for conducting preclinical studies and clinical trials during the pandemic. We may be required to develop and implement additional clinical trial policies and procedures designed to help protect subjects from the COVID-19 virus. For example, in March 2020, the FDA issued a guidance on conducting clinical trials during the pandemic, which was updated in July 2020, January 2021 and August 2021. The guidance describes a number of considerations for sponsors of clinical trials impacted by the pandemic, including the requirement to include in the clinical trial report (or as a separate document) contingency measures implemented to manage the trial and any disruption of the trial as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; a list of all subjects affected by the COVID-19 pandemic-related trial disruptions by unique subject identifier and by investigational site and a description of how the individual’s participation was altered; and analyses and corresponding discussions that address the impact of implemented contingency measures (e.g., participant discontinuation from investigational product and/or trial, alternative procedures used to collect critical safety and/or efficacy data) on the safety and efficacy results reported for the trial. In its most recent update to this guidance, the FDA addressed questions received from clinical practitioners who are adapting their operations in a pandemic environment. These questions focused on, among other things, when to suspend, continue or initiate a trial and how to submit changes to protocols for INDs and handle remote site monitoring visits. There is no assurance that this guidance governing clinical trials during the pandemic will remain in effect or, even if it does, that it will help address the risks and challenges enumerated above. Other potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ongoing clinical trials include patient dosing and trial monitoring, which may be paused or delayed due to changes in policies at various clinical sites, federal, state, local or foreign laws, rules and regulations, including quarantines or other travel restrictions, prioritization of healthcare resources toward pandemic efforts, including diminished attention of physicians serving as our clinical trial investigators and reduced availability of site staff supporting the conduct of our clinical trial, interruption or delays in the operations of the FDA, or other reasons related to the COVID-19 pandemic. 31 If the COVID-19 pandemic continues, other aspects of our ongoing clinical trial and future planned clinical trials may be adversely affected, delayed or interrupted, including, for example, site initiation, patient recruitment and enrollment, availability of clinical trial materials, clinical trial site data monitoring and efficacy, safety and translational data collection, and data analysis. Some patients and clinical investigators may not be able to comply with clinical trial protocols and patients may choose to withdraw from our trials or we may have to pause enrollment or we may choose to or be required to pause enrollment and/or patient dosing in our ongoing or planned clinical trials in order to preserve health resources and protect trial participants. It is unknown how long these pauses or disruptions could continue. Patients may need to withdraw due to COVID-19 infections or experience increased adverse events and deaths in our clinical trials due to COVID-19 related infections, which may result in increased complications due to immune suppression in some of the patients being treated. In addition, we currently rely on third parties to, among other things, manufacture raw materials, manufacture our product candidates for our clinical trials, ship investigation drugs and clinical trial samples, perform quality testing and supply other goods and services to run our business. If any such third party in our supply chain for materials is adversely impacted by effects from the COVID-19 pandemic, including staffing shortages, production slowdowns and disruptions in delivery systems, our supply chain may be disrupted and our costs could be increased, limiting our ability to manufacture our product candidates for our clinical trials and planned future clinical trials and conduct our research and development operations as planned. We previously closed our offices and requested that most of our personnel, including all of our administrative employees, work remotely, restricted on-site staff to only those personnel and contractors who must perform essential activities that must be completed on-site and limited the number of staff in any given research and development laboratory. Our increased reliance on personnel working from home may negatively impact productivity, or disrupt, delay, or otherwise adversely impact our business. In addition, this could increase our cyber security risk, create data accessibility concerns, and make us more susceptible to communication disruptions, any of which could adversely impact our business operations or delay necessary interactions with local and federal regulators, ethics committees, manufacturing sites, research or clinical trial sites and other important agencies and contractors. Further, we and our third-party service providers, the clinical trial sites, our manufacturers and suppliers, may experience staffing shortages. Our employees and contractors conducting research and development activities may not be able to access our laboratory for an extended period of time as a result of the closure of our offices and the possibility that governmental authorities further modify current restrictions. In addition, when our facilities are open, we could encounter delays in connection with implementing precautionary measures to mitigate the risk of exposing our facilities and employees to COVID-19 or otherwise in connection with addressing an actual or potential exposure to COVID-19 (for example, temporarily closing all or a portion of a facility or disinfecting all or a portion of a facility that may have been exposed to COVID-19). As a result, this could delay timely completion of preclinical activities, including completing IND/Clinical Trial Application (CTA)-enabling studies or our ability to select future development candidates, and initiation of additional clinical trials for our other development programs. Health regulatory agencies globally may experience disruptions in their operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The FDA or foreign health authorities may have slower response times or be under-resourced to continue to monitor our ongoing clinical trial and, as a result, review, inspection, and other timelines may be materially delayed. It is unknown how long these disruptions could continue, were they to occur. Any elongation or de-prioritization of our clinical trial or delay in regulatory review resulting from such disruptions could materially affect the development of our product candidates. The trading prices for shares of other biopharmaceutical companies have been highly volatile as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, we may face difficulties raising capital through sales of our common stock or such sales may be on unfavorable terms. In addition, a recession, depression or other sustained adverse market event resulting from the spread of the COVID-19 could materially and adversely affect our business and the value of our common stock. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve. The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business operations is highly uncertain and subject to change and will depend on future developments, which cannot be accurately predicted, including the duration of the pandemic, additional or modified government actions, and the actions taken to contain COVID-19 or address its impact, among others. We do not yet know the full extent of potential delays or impacts on our business, our clinical trials, our research programs, healthcare systems or the global economy. We will continue to monitor the situation closely. 32 In addition, our business could be significantly adversely affected by other business disruptions to us or our third party partners or collaborators that could seriously harm our potential future revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses. Our operations, and those of our partners and collaborators, contract manufacturing organizations (CMOs) and other contractors, consultants, and third parties could be subject to other global pandemics, earthquakes, power shortages, telecommunications failures, water shortages, floods, hurricanes, typhoons, fires, extreme weather conditions, medical epidemics and other natural or man-made disasters or business interruptions, for which we are predominantly self-insured. The occurrence of any of these business disruptions could seriously harm our operations and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses. We rely on third-party manufacturers to produce and process our product candidates. Our ability to obtain clinical supplies of our product candidates could be disrupted if the operations of these suppliers are affected by a man-made or natural disaster or other business interruption. Our success depends on our ability to protect our intellectual property and our proprietary technologies. Our commercial success depends in part on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection and trade secret protection for our product candidates, proprietary technologies, and their uses as well as our ability to operate without infringing upon the proprietary rights of others. We can provide no assurance that our patent applications or those of our licensors will result in additional patents being issued or that issued patents will afford sufficient protection against competitors with similar technologies, nor can there be any assurance that the patents issued will not be infringed, designed around or invalidated by third parties. Even issued patents may later be found unenforceable or may be modified or revoked in proceedings instituted by third parties before various patent offices or in courts. The degree of future protection for our proprietary rights is uncertain. Only limited protection may be available and may not adequately protect our rights or permit us to gain or keep any competitive advantage. Composition-of-matter patents on the biological or chemical active pharmaceutical ingredients are generally considered to offer the strongest protection of intellectual property and provide the broadest scope of patent protection for pharmaceutical products, as such patents provide protection without regard to any method of use or any method of manufacturing. While we have issued patents in the United States we cannot be certain that the claims in our issued patent will not be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged. We cannot be certain that the claims in our issued United States methods of use patents will not be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged. We cannot be certain that the pending applications covering among others the bioconjugates comprising sulfated polysaccharides; Ranpirnase and other ribonucleases for treating viral diseases; therapeutic compositions comprising exosomes, bioxomes, and redoxomes; bioreactors for cell culture, automated devices for supporting cell therapies, and point-of-care systems; immune cells, ribonucleases, or antibodies for treating COVID-19; or chimeric antigen receptors (CARs); will be considered patentable by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), and courts in the United States or by the patent offices and courts in foreign countries, nor can we be certain that the claims in our issued patents will not be found invalid or unenforceable if challenged. Even if our patent applications covering these inventions issue as patents, the patents protect specific products and may not be enforced against competitors making and marketing a product that has the same activity. Method-of-use patents protect the use of a product for the specified method or for treatment of a particular indication. These types of patents may not be enforced against competitors making and marketing a product that provides the same activity but is used for a method not included in the patent. Moreover, even if competitors do not actively promote their product for our targeted indications, physicians may prescribe these products “off-label.” Although off-label prescriptions may infringe or contribute to the infringement of method-of-use patents, the practice is common and such infringement is difficult to prevent or prosecute. 33 The patent application process is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, and there can be no assurance that we or any of our future development partners will be successful in protecting our product candidates by obtaining and defending patents. These risks and uncertainties include the following: ● ● ● ● ● ● the USPTO and various foreign governmental patent agencies require compliance with a number of procedural, documentary, fee payment and other provisions during the patent process. There are situations in which noncompliance can result in abandonment or lapse of a patent or patent application, resulting in partial or complete loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. In such an event, competitors might be able to enter the market earlier than would otherwise have been the case; patent applications may not result in any patents being issued; patents that may be issued or in-licensed may be challenged, invalidated, modified, revoked, circumvented, found to be unenforceable or otherwise may not provide any competitive advantage; our competitors, many of whom have substantially greater resources and many of whom have made significant investments in competing technologies, may seek or may have already obtained patents that will limit, interfere with or eliminate our ability to make, use, and sell our potential product candidates; there may be significant pressure on the U.S. government and international governmental bodies to limit the scope of patent protection both inside and outside the United States for disease treatments that prove successful, as a matter of public policy regarding worldwide health concerns; and countries other than the United States may have patent laws less favorable to patentees than those upheld by U.S. courts, allowing foreign competitors a better opportunity to create, develop and market competing product candidates. In addition, we rely on the protection of our trade secrets and proprietary know-how. Although we have taken steps to protect our trade secrets and unpatented know-how, including entering into confidentiality agreements with third parties, and confidential information and inventions agreements with employees, consultants and advisors, we cannot provide any assurances that all such agreements have been duly executed, and third parties may still obtain this information or may come upon this or similar information independently. Additionally, if the steps taken to maintain our trade secrets are deemed inadequate, we may have insufficient recourse against third parties for misappropriating its trade secrets. If any of these events occurs or if we otherwise lose protection for our trade secrets or proprietary know-how, our business may be harmed. Third parties may initiate legal proceedings alleging that we are infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating their intellectual property rights, the outcome of which would be uncertain and could have a material adverse effect on the success of our business. Our commercial success depends upon our ability and the ability of our collaborators to develop, manufacture, market and sell our product candidates and use our proprietary technologies without infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating the intellectual property and proprietary rights of third parties. There is considerable patent and other intellectual property litigation in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. We may become party to, or threatened with, adversarial proceedings or litigation regarding intellectual property rights with respect to our technology and product candidates, including interference proceedings, post grant review, inter partes review, and derivation proceedings before the USPTO and similar proceedings in foreign jurisdictions such as oppositions before the European Patent Office. The legal threshold for initiating litigation or contested proceedings is low, so that even lawsuits or proceedings with a low probability of success might be initiated and require significant resources to defend. Litigation and contested proceedings can also be expensive and time-consuming, and our adversaries in these proceedings may have the ability to dedicate substantially greater resources to prosecuting these legal actions than we can. The risks of being involved in such litigation and proceedings may increase if and as our product candidates near commercialization. Third parties may assert infringement claims against us based on existing patents or patents that may be granted in the future, regardless of merit. We may not be aware of all such intellectual property rights potentially relating to our technology and product candidates and their uses, or we may incorrectly conclude that third party intellectual property is invalid or that our activities and product candidates do not infringe such intellectual property. Thus, we do not know with certainty that our technology and product candidates, or our development and commercialization thereof, do not and will not infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate any third party’s intellectual property. 34 Third parties may assert that we are employing their proprietary technology without authorization. There may be third-party patents or patent applications with claims to materials, formulations or methods, such as methods of manufacture or methods for treatment, related to the discovery, use or manufacture of the product candidates that we may identify or related to our technologies. Because patent applications can take many years to issue, there may be currently pending patent applications which may later result in issued patents that the product candidates that we may identify may infringe. In addition, third parties may obtain patents in the future and claim that use of our technologies infringes upon these patents. Moreover, as noted above, there may be existing patents that we are not aware of or that we have incorrectly concluded are invalid or not infringed by our activities. If any third-party patents were held by a court of competent jurisdiction to cover, for example, the manufacturing process of the product candidates that we may identify, any molecules formed during the manufacturing process or any final product itself, the holders of any such patents may be able to block our ability to commercialize such product candidate unless we obtained a license under the applicable patents, or until such patents expire. Generally, conducting clinical trials and other development activities in the United States is not considered an act of infringement. If and when products are approved by the FDA, that certain third party may then seek to enforce its patents by filing a patent infringement lawsuit against us or our licensee(s). In such lawsuit, we or our licensees may incur substantial expenses defending our rights or our licensees rights to commercialize such product candidates, and in connection with such lawsuit and under certain circumstances, it is possible that we or our licensees could be required to cease or delay the commercialization of a product candidate and/or be required to pay monetary damages or other amounts, including royalties on the sales of such products. Moreover, any such lawsuit may also consume substantial time and resources of our management team and board of directors. The threat or consequences of such a lawsuit may also result in royalty and other monetary obligations being imposed on us, which may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. Parties making claims against us may obtain injunctive or other equitable relief, which could effectively block our ability to further develop and commercialize the product candidates that we may identify. Defense of these claims, regardless of their merit, would involve substantial litigation expense and would be a substantial diversion of employee resources from our business. In the event of a successful claim of infringement against us, we may have to pay substantial damages, including treble damages and attorneys’ fees for willful infringement, pay royalties, redesign our infringing products or obtain one or more licenses from third parties, which may be impossible or require substantial time and monetary expenditure. We may choose to take a license or, if we are found to infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate a third party’s intellectual property rights, we could also be required to obtain a license from such third party to continue developing, manufacturing and marketing our technology and product candidates. However, we may not be able to obtain any required license on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Even if we were able to obtain a license, it could be non-exclusive, thereby giving our competitors and other third parties access to the same technologies licensed to us and could require us to make substantial licensing and royalty payments. We could be forced, including by court order, to cease developing, manufacturing and commercializing the infringing technology or product. In addition, we could be found liable for significant monetary damages, including treble damages and attorneys’ fees, if we are found to have willfully infringed a patent or other intellectual property right and could be forced to indemnify our customers or collaborators. A finding of infringement could prevent us from commercializing our product candidates or force us to cease some of our business operations, which could materially harm our business. In addition, we may be forced to redesign our product candidates, seek new regulatory approvals and indemnify third parties pursuant to contractual agreements. Claims that we have misappropriated the confidential information or trade secrets of third parties could have a similar material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. 35 If product liability lawsuits are brought against us, we may incur substantial liabilities and may be required to limit commercialization of our product candidates. We face an inherent risk of product liability as a result of the clinical testing of our product candidates and will face an even greater risk if we commercialize any products. For example, we may be sued if our product candidates cause or are perceived to cause injury or are found to be otherwise unsuitable during clinical testing, manufacturing, marketing or sale. Any such product liability claims may include allegations of defects in manufacturing, defects in design, a failure to warn of dangers inherent in the product, negligence, strict liability or a breach of warranties. Claims could also be asserted under state consumer protection acts. If we cannot successfully defend ourselves against product liability claims, we may incur substantial liabilities or be required to limit commercialization of our product candidates. Even a successful defense would require significant financial and management resources. Regardless of the merits or eventual outcome, liability claims may result in: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● decreased demand for our products; injury to our reputation; withdrawal of clinical trial participants and inability to continue clinical trials; initiation of investigations by regulators; costs to defend the related litigation; a diversion of management’s time and our resources; substantial monetary awards to trial participants or patients; product recalls, withdrawals or labeling, marketing or promotional restrictions; loss of revenue; exhaustion of any available insurance and our capital resources; the inability to commercialize any product candidate; and a decline in our share price. Because most of our products have not reached commercial stage, we do not currently need to carry clinical trial or extensive product liability insurance. In the future, our inability to obtain additional sufficient product liability insurance at an acceptable cost to protect against potential product liability claims could prevent or inhibit the commercialization of products we develop, alone or with collaborators. Such insurance policies may also have various exclusions, and we may be subject to a product liability claim for which we have no coverage. It may be difficult to enforce a U.S. judgment against us, our officers and directors and the foreign persons named in this Annual Report on Form 10-K in the United States or in foreign countries, or to assert U.S. securities laws claims in foreign countries or serve process on our officers and directors and these experts. While we are incorporated in the State of Nevada, currently a majority of our directors and executive officers are not residents of the United States, and the foreign persons named in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are located outside of the United States. The majority of our assets are located outside the United States. Therefore, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to enforce a U.S. court judgment based upon the civil liability provisions of the U.S. federal securities laws against us or any of these persons in a U.S. or foreign court, or to effect service of process upon these persons in the United States. Additionally, it may be difficult for an investor, or any other person or entity, to assert U.S. securities law claims in original actions instituted in foreign countries in which we operate. Foreign courts may refuse to hear a claim based on a violation of U.S. securities laws on the grounds that foreign countries are not necessary the most appropriate forum in which to bring such a claim. Even if a foreign court agrees to hear a claim, it may determine that foreign law and not U.S. law is applicable to the claim. If U.S. law is found to be applicable, the content of applicable U.S. law must be proved as a fact, which can be a time-consuming and costly process. Certain matters of procedure will also be governed by foreign countries law. There is little binding case law in foreign countries addressing the matters described above. We may be subject to numerous and varying privacy and security laws, and our failure to comply could result in penalties and reputational damage. We are subject to laws and regulations covering data privacy and the protection of personal information, including health information. The legislative and regulatory landscape for privacy and data protection continues to evolve, and there has been an increasing focus on privacy and data protection issues which may affect our business. In the U.S., numerous federal and state laws and regulations, including state security breach notification laws, state health information privacy laws, and federal and state consumer protection laws, govern the collection, use, disclosure, and protection of personal information. Each of these laws is subject to varying interpretations by courts and government agencies, creating complex compliance issues for us. If we fail to comply with applicable laws and regulations we could be subject to penalties or sanctions, including criminal penalties if we knowingly obtain or disclose individually identifiable health information from a covered entity in a manner that is not authorized or permitted by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996, as amended by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act, or HIPAA. 36 Numerous other countries have, or are developing, laws governing the collection, use and transmission of personal information as well. The EU and other jurisdictions have adopted data protection laws and regulations, which impose significant compliance obligations. In the EU, for example, effective May 25, 2018, the GDPR replaced the prior EU Data Protection Directive (95/46) that governed the processing of personal data in the European Union. The GDPR imposes significant obligations on controllers and processors of personal data, including, as compared to the prior directive, higher standards for obtaining consent from individuals to process their personal data, more robust notification requirements to individuals about the processing of their personal data, a strengthened individual data rights regime, mandatory data breach notifications, limitations on the retention of personal data and increased requirements pertaining to health data, and strict rules and restrictions on the transfer of personal data outside of the EU, including to the U.S. The GDPR also imposes additional obligations on, and required contractual provisions to be included in, contracts between companies subject to the GDPR and their third-party processors that relate to the processing of personal data. The GDPR allows EU member states to make additional laws and regulations further limiting the processing of genetic, biometric or health data. Adoption of the GDPR increased our responsibility and liability in relation to personal data that we process and may require us to put in place additional mechanisms to ensure compliance. Any failure to comply with the requirements of GDPR and applicable national data protection laws of EU member states, could lead to regulatory enforcement actions and significant administrative and/or financial penalties against us (fines of up to Euro 20,000,000 or up to 4% of the total worldwide annual turnover of the preceding financial year, whichever is higher), and could adversely affect our business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. We are increasingly dependent on information technology and our systems and infrastructure face certain risks, including cybersecurity and data storage risks. Significant disruptions to our information technology systems or breaches of information security could adversely affect our business. In the ordinary course of business, we collect, store and transmit confidential information, and it is critical that we do so in a secure manner in order to maintain the confidentiality and integrity of such confidential information. Our information technology systems are potentially vulnerable to service interruptions and security breaches from inadvertent or intentional actions by our employees, partners, vendors, or from attacks by malicious third parties. Maintaining the secrecy of this confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret information is important to our competitive business position. While we have taken steps to protect such information and invested in information technology, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent service interruptions or security breaches in our systems or the unauthorized or inadvertent wrongful access or disclosure of confidential information that could adversely affect our business operations or result in the loss, dissemination, or misuse of critical or sensitive information. A breach of our security measures or the accidental loss, inadvertent disclosure, unapproved dissemination or misappropriation or misuse of trade secrets, proprietary information, or other confidential information, whether as a result of theft, hacking, or other forms of deception, or for any other cause, could enable others to produce competing products, use our proprietary technology and/or adversely affect our business position. Further, any such interruption, security breach, loss or disclosure of confidential information could result in financial, legal, business, and reputational harm to us and could have a material effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and/or cash flow. There can be no assurance that we will be able to develop in-house sales and commercial distribution capabilities or establish or maintain relationships with third-party collaborators to successfully commercialize any product in the United States or overseas, and as a result, we may not be able to generate product revenue. A variety of risks associated with operating our business internationally could materially adversely affect our business. We plan to seek regulatory approval of our product candidates outside of the United States and, accordingly, we expect that we, and any potential collaborators in those jurisdictions, will be subject to additional risks related to operating in foreign countries, including: ● ● ● ● ● differing regulatory requirements in foreign countries, unexpected changes in tariffs, trade barriers, price and exchange controls, and other regulatory requirements; economic weakness, including inflation, or political instability in particular foreign economies and markets; compliance with tax, employment, immigration, and labor laws for employees living or traveling abroad; foreign taxes, including withholding of payroll taxes; foreign currency fluctuations, which could result in increased operating expenses and reduced revenue, and other obligations incident to doing business in another country; 37 ● ● ● ● ● ● difficulties staffing and managing foreign operations; workforce uncertainty in countries where labor unrest is more common than in the United States; potential liability under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or comparable foreign laws; challenges enforcing our contractual and intellectual property rights, especially in those foreign countries that do not respect and protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the United States; production shortages resulting from any events affecting raw material supply or manufacturing capabilities abroad; and business interruptions resulting from geo-political actions, including war, and terrorism or disease outbreaks (such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19, or the novel coronavirus). These and other risks associated with our planned international operations may materially adversely affect our ability to attain or maintain profitable operations. If we are unable to integrate acquired businesses effectively, our operating results may be adversely affected. From time to time, we seek to expand our business through acquisitions. We may not be able to successfully integrate acquired businesses and, where desired, their product portfolios into ours, and therefore we may not be able to realize the intended benefits. If we fail to successfully integrate acquisitions or product portfolios, or if they fail to perform as we anticipate, our existing businesses and our revenue and operating results could be adversely affected. If the due diligence of the operations of acquired businesses performed by us and by third parties on our behalf is inadequate or flawed, or if we later discover unforeseen financial or business liabilities, acquired businesses and their assets may not perform as expected. Additionally, acquisitions could result in difficulties assimilating acquired operations and, where deemed desirable, transitioning overlapping products into a single product line and the diversion of capital and management’s attention away from other business issues and opportunities. The failure to integrate acquired businesses effectively may adversely impact our business, results of operations or financial condition. Risks Related to Our OMPULs We may not be able to operate our OMPULs in all cities or desired locations and the sizes and use of our laboratories in such OMPULs may be restricted due to zoning, environmental, medical waste, or other licensing regulations. We may be subject to local zoning ordinances or other similar restrictions that may limit where the OMPULs can be located and the extent of their size and use. In addition, international, federal, state and local environmental and other administrative and licensing regulations could restrict the ability of the OMPULs to connect with local power, water, sewer, and other infrastructure. Our success depends on our ability to develop and roll out our OMPULs which may become more difficult or more expensive by such applicable regulations. Changes in any of these regulations could require us to close or move our OMPULs which would affect our ability to conduct and grow our business. If our existing OMPULs facilities become damaged or inoperable or if we are required to vacate our existing facilities, our ability to perform our tests and pursue our research and development efforts may be jeopardized. We currently perform a majority of tests relating to our POCare services out of our OMPULs. Our facilities and equipment could be harmed or rendered inoperable by natural or man-made disasters, including war, fire, earthquake, power loss, communications failure or terrorism, which may render it difficult or impossible for us to operate for some period of time. In addition, since there is no lengthy history of use of OMPULs and the OMPULs are still in the development stage, we are unable to predict the normal wear and tear on such OMPULs or how many years each OMPUL will remain operational. The inability to perform our tests or to reduce the backlog that could develop if our facilities are inoperable, for even a short period of time, may result in the loss of customers or harm to our reputation, and we may be unable to regain those customers or repair our reputation. Furthermore, our OMPUL facilities and the equipment we use to perform our research and development work could be unavailable or costly and time-consuming to repair or replace. It would be difficult, time-consuming and expensive to rebuild our facilities, or to locate and qualify new facilities. We carry insurance for damage to our property and disruption of our business, but this insurance may not cover all of the risks associated with damage or disruption to our facility and business, may not provide coverage in amounts sufficient to cover our potential losses and may not continue to be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all. 38 Changes in the price and availability of our raw materials could be detrimental to our OMPUL operations. Supply chain issues, including limited supply of certain raw material or supply interruptions, delays or shortages of material may disrupt our daily operations as the OMPULs may be unable to retain an inventory of materials required to maintain operations or to build or repair OMPULs. We are dependent on skilled human capital for our OMPULs. Our ability to innovate and execute is dependent on the ability to hire, replace, and train skilled personnel. The employment market suffers from shortage of candidates that may continue in future years and cause delays and inabilities to execute our plans. Additionally, based on current trends in the US labor market, there could be a shortage of available trained staff for the OMPULs in the United States. Staff retention could also be a significant operational issue. If we are unable to successfully secure our locations and premises, we may be unable to operate out of our OMPULs or keep our employees and laboratory equipment safe. In certain cities and urban markets, homelessness, rising crime rates and decreased police funding, could impact the security of the OMPULs and the safety of employees and patients. If we are unable to successfully secure our OMPULs, our research and development could be negatively impacted. Our OMPULs are operated in a heavily regulated industry, and changes in regulations or violations of regulations may, directly or indirectly, reduce our revenue, adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition, and harm our business. The clinical laboratory testing industry is highly regulated, and there can be no assurance that the regulatory environment in which we operate will not change significantly and adversely to us in the future. Areas of the regulatory environment that may affect our ability to conduct our OMPUL business include, without limitation: ●federal and state laws governing laboratory testing, including CLIA, and state licensing laws; ● federal and state laws and enforcement policies governing the development, use and distribution of diagnostic medical devices, including laboratory developed tests, or LDTs; ●federal, state and local laws governing the handling and disposal of medical and hazardous waste; ●federal and state Occupational Safety and Health Administration rules and regulations; and ● European Union GMP approvals, which may be delayed because of the use OMPULs which could then delay manufacturing for clinical trials. Risks Related to Our Trans-Differentiation Technologies for Diabetes and the THM License Agreement THM is entitled to cancel the THM License Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the THM License Agreement with THM, Orgenesis Ltd, the Israeli Subsidiary, must develop, manufacture, sell and market the products pursuant to the milestones and time schedule specified in the development plan. In the event the Israeli Subsidiary fails to fulfill the terms of the development plan under the THM License Agreement, THM shall be entitled to terminate the THM License Agreement by providing the Israeli Subsidiary with written notice of such a breach and if the Israeli Subsidiary does not cure such breach within one year of receiving the notice. THM may also terminate the THM License Agreement if the Israeli Subsidiary breaches an obligation contained in the THM License Agreement and does not cure it within 180 days of receiving notice of the breach. We also run the risk that THM may attempt cancel or, at the very least challenge, the License Agreement with Orgenesis Ltd. as we continue to expand our focus to other therapies and business activities. We believe that our expanded focus to such other therapies and business activities may continue to prompt THM to inquire of such activities as they may relate to our compliance with the terms or direction of resources toward the THM License Agreement. While we have not received any notice of cancellation of the THM License Agreement, we have received an allegation regarding the scope of the rights by THM that may present future challenges for our Israeli Subsidiary to continue to develop, manufacture, sell and market the products pursuant to the milestones and time schedule specified in the development plan of the THM License Agreement. In addition, THM has filed a complaint against us in the Tel Aviv District Court relating to the scope of such THM license and the royalties and other payments that THM is entitled to thereunder. See “Legal Proceedings” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Such complaint may lead to further risk of cancellation of the THM License Agreement. 39 Orgenesis Ltd. licensed a technology that demonstrates the capacity to induce a shift in the developmental fate of cells from the liver and differentiating (converting) them into “pancreatic beta cell-like” insulin-producing cells for patients with diabetes. Our intention is to develop our technology to the clinical stage for regeneration of functional insulin-producing cells, thus enabling normal glucose regulated insulin secretion, via cell therapy. By using therapeutic agents that efficiently convert a sub-population of liver cells into pancreatic islets phenotype and function, this approach allows the diabetic patient to be the donor of his/her own therapeutic tissue and to start producing his/her own insulin in a glucose-responsive manner, thereby eliminating the need for insulin injections. Because this is a new approach to treating diabetes, developing and commercializing our product candidates subjects us to a number of challenges, including: ● obtaining regulatory approval regulatory authorities that have very limited experience with the commercial development of the trans-differentiating technology for diabetes; ● developing and deploying consistent and reliable processes for engineering a patient’s liver cells ex vivo and infusing the engineered cells back into the patient; ● developing processes for the safe administration of these products, including long-term follow-up for all patients who receive our products; ● sourcing clinical and, if approved, commercial supplies for the materials used to manufacture and process our products; ● developing a manufacturing process and distribution network with a cost of goods that allows for an attractive return on investment; ● establishing sales and marketing capabilities after obtaining any regulatory approval to gain market acceptance; and ● maintaining a system of post marketing surveillance and risk assessment programs to identify adverse events that did not appear during the drug approval process. Risks Related to Development and Regulatory Approval of Our Therapies and Product Candidates Research and development of biopharmaceutical products is inherently risky. We may not be successful in our efforts to use and enhance our technology platform to create a pipeline of product candidates and develop commercially successful products. Furthermore, we may expend our limited resources on programs that do not yield a successful product candidate and fail to capitalize on product candidates or diseases that may be more profitable or for which there is a greater likelihood of success. If we fail to develop additional product candidates, our commercial opportunity will be limited. Even if we are successful in continuing to build our pipeline, obtaining regulatory approvals and commercializing additional product candidates will require substantial additional funding and are prone to the risks of failure inherent in medical product development. Investment in biopharmaceutical product development involves significant risk that any potential product candidate will fail to demonstrate adequate efficacy or an acceptable safety profile, gain regulatory approval, and become commercially viable. We cannot provide you any assurance that we will be able to successfully advance any of these additional product candidates through the development process. Our research programs may initially show promise in identifying potential product candidates, yet fail to yield product candidates for clinical development or commercialization for many reasons, including the following: ● ● our platform may not be successful in identifying additional product candidates; we may not be able or willing to assemble sufficient resources to acquire or discover additional product candidates; 40 ● ● ● ● ● ● ● our product candidates may not succeed in preclinical or clinical testing; a product candidate may on further study be shown to have harmful side effects or other characteristics that indicate it is unlikely to be effective or otherwise does not meet applicable regulatory criteria; competitors may develop alternatives that render our product candidates obsolete or less attractive; product candidates we develop may nevertheless be covered by third parties’ patents or other exclusive rights; the market for a product candidate may change during our program so that the continued development of that product candidate is no longer reasonable; a product candidate may not be capable of being produced in commercial quantities at an acceptable cost, or at all; and a product candidate may not be accepted as safe and effective by patients, the medical community or third- party payers, if applicable. If any of these events occur, we may be forced to abandon our development efforts for a program or programs, or we may not be able to identify, discover, develop, or commercialize additional product candidates, which would have a material adverse effect on our business and could potentially cause us to cease operations. Extensive industry regulation has had, and will continue to have, a significant impact on our business, especially our product development, manufacturing and distribution capabilities. All pharmaceutical companies are subject to extensive, complex, costly and evolving government regulation. For the U.S., this is principally administered by the FDA and to a lesser extent by the Drug Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) and state government agencies, as well as by varying regulatory agencies in foreign countries where products or product candidates are being manufactured and/or marketed. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the Controlled Substances Act and other federal statutes and regulations, and similar foreign statutes and regulations, govern or influence the testing, manufacturing, packing, labeling, storing, record keeping, safety, approval, advertising, promotion, sale and distribution of our future products. Under these regulations, we may become subject to periodic inspection of our facilities, procedures and operations and/or the testing of our future products by the FDA, the DEA and other authorities, which conduct periodic inspections to confirm that we are in compliance with all applicable regulations. In addition, the FDA and foreign regulatory agencies conduct pre-approval and post-approval reviews and plant inspections to determine whether our systems and processes are in compliance with current GMP and other regulations. Following such inspections, the FDA or other agency may issue observations, notices, citations and/or warning letters that could cause us to modify certain activities identified during the inspection. FDA guidelines specify that a warning letter is issued only for violations of “regulatory significance” for which the failure to adequately and promptly achieve correction may be expected to result in an enforcement action. We may also be required to report adverse events associated with our future products to FDA and other regulatory authorities. Unexpected or serious health or safety concerns would result in labeling changes, recalls, market withdrawals or other regulatory actions. The range of possible sanctions includes, among others, FDA issuance of adverse publicity, product recalls or seizures, fines, total or partial suspension of production and/or distribution, suspension of the FDA’s review of product applications, enforcement actions, injunctions, and civil or criminal prosecution. Any such sanctions, if imposed, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows. Under certain circumstances, the FDA also has the authority to revoke previously granted drug approvals. Similar sanctions as detailed above may be available to the FDA under a consent decree, depending upon the actual terms of such decree. If internal compliance programs do not meet regulatory agency standards or if compliance is deemed deficient in any significant way, it could materially harm our business. The European Medicines Agency (“EMA”) will regulate our future products in Europe. Regulatory approval by the EMA will be subject to the evaluation of data relating to the quality, efficacy and safety of our future products for its proposed use. The time taken to obtain regulatory approval varies between countries. Different regulators may impose their own requirements and may refuse to grant, or may require additional data before granting, an approval, notwithstanding that regulatory approval may have been granted by other regulators. 41 Regulatory approval may be delayed, limited or denied for a number of reasons, including insufficient clinical data, the product not meeting safety or efficacy requirements or any relevant manufacturing processes or facilities not meeting applicable requirements. Further trials and other costly and time-consuming assessments of the product may be required to obtain or maintain regulatory approval. Medicinal products are generally subject to lengthy and rigorous pre-clinical and clinical trials and other extensive, costly and time-consuming procedures mandated by regulatory authorities. We may be required to conduct additional trials beyond those currently planned, which could require significant time and expense. In addition, even after the technology approval, both in the U.S. and Europe, we will be required to maintain post marketing surveillance of potential adverse and risk assessment programs to identify adverse events that did not appear during the clinical studies and drug approval process. All of the foregoing could require an investment of significant time and expense. We have generated limited revenue from therapeutic product sales, and our ability to generate any significant revenue from product sales and become profitable depends significantly on our success in a number of factors. We have a limited number of therapeutic products approved for commercial sale, and we have generated only limited revenue from product sales. Our ability to generate revenue of more significant scale and achieve profitability depends significantly on our success in many factors, including: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● completing research regarding, and nonclinical and clinical development of, our product candidates; obtaining regulatory approvals and marketing authorizations for product candidates for which we complete clinical studies; developing a sustainable and scalable manufacturing process for our product candidates, including establishing and maintaining commercially viable supply relationships with third parties and establishing our own manufacturing capabilities and infrastructure; launching and commercializing product candidates for which we obtain regulatory approvals and marketing authorizations, either directly or with a collaborator or distributor; obtaining market acceptance of our product candidates as viable treatment options; addressing any competing technological and market developments; identifying, assessing, acquiring and/or developing new product candidates; negotiating favorable terms in any collaboration, licensing, or other arrangements into which we may enter; maintaining, protecting, and expanding our portfolio of intellectual property rights, including patents, trade secrets, and know-how; and attracting, hiring, and retaining qualified personnel. Even if more of the product candidates that we develop are approved for commercial sale, we anticipate incurring significant costs associated with commercializing any approved product candidate. Our expenses could increase beyond expectations if we are required by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, or the FDA, or other regulatory agencies, domestic or foreign, to change our manufacturing processes or assays, or to perform clinical, nonclinical, or other types of studies in addition to those that we currently anticipate. If we are successful in obtaining regulatory approvals to market more of our product candidates, our revenue will be dependent, in part, upon the size of the markets in the territories for which we gain regulatory approval, the accepted price for the product, the ability to get reimbursement at any price, and whether we own the commercial rights for that territory. If the number of our addressable disease patients is not as significant as we estimate, the indication approved by regulatory authorities is narrower than we expect, or the reasonably accepted population for treatment is narrowed by competition, physician choice or treatment guidelines, we may not generate significant revenue from sales of such products, even if approved. If we are not able to generate revenue from the sale of any approved products, we may never become profitable. 42 When we commence any clinical trials, we may not be able to conduct our trials on the timelines we expect. Clinical testing is expensive, time consuming, and subject to uncertainty. We cannot guarantee that any clinical studies will be conducted as planned or completed on schedule, if at all. We cannot be sure that we will be able to submit an IND, and we cannot be sure that submission of an IND will result in the FDA allowing clinical trials to begin. Moreover, even if these trials begin, issues may arise that could suspend or terminate such clinical trials. A failure of one or more clinical studies can occur at any stage of testing, and our future clinical studies may not be successful. Events that may prevent successful or timely completion of clinical development include: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● the inability to generate sufficient preclinical or other in vivo or in vitro data to support the initiation of clinical studies; delays in reaching a consensus with regulatory agencies on study design; delays in establishing CMC (Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls) which is a cornerstone in clinical study submission and later on, the regulatory approval; the FDA not allowing us to use the clinical trial data from a research institution to support an IND if we cannot demonstrate the comparability of our product candidates with the product candidate used by the relevant research institution in its clinical studies; delays in obtaining required Institutional Review Board, or IRB, approval at each clinical study site; imposition of a temporary or permanent clinical hold by regulatory agencies for a number of reasons, including after review of an IND application or amendment, or equivalent application or amendment; a result of a new safety finding that presents unreasonable risk to clinical trial participants; a negative finding from an inspection of our clinical study operations or study sites; developments on trials conducted by competitors for related technology that raises FDA concerns about risk to patients of the technology broadly; if the FDA finds that the investigational protocol or plan is clearly deficient to meet its stated objectives; delays in recruiting suitable patients to participate in our clinical studies; difficulty collaborating with patient groups and investigators; failure to perform in accordance with the FDA’s current good clinical practices, or cGCPs, requirements, or applicable regulatory guidelines in other countries; delays in having patients complete participation in a study or return for post-treatment follow-up; patients dropping out of a study; occurrence of adverse events associated with the product candidate that are viewed to outweigh its potential benefits; changes in regulatory requirements and guidance that require amending or submitting new clinical protocols; changes in the standard of care on which a clinical development plan was based, which may require new or additional trials; the cost of clinical studies of our product candidates being greater than we anticipate; clinical studies of our product candidates producing negative or inconclusive results, which may result in our deciding, or regulators requiring us, to conduct additional clinical studies or abandon product development programs; and delays in manufacturing, testing, releasing, validating, or importing/exporting sufficient stable quantities of our product candidates for use in clinical studies or the inability to do any of the foregoing. Any inability to successfully complete preclinical and clinical development could result in additional costs to us or impair our ability to generate revenue. In addition, if we make manufacturing or formulation changes to our product candidates, we may be required to, or we may elect to conduct additional studies to bridge our modified product candidates to earlier versions. Clinical study delays could also shorten any periods during which our products have patent protection and may allow our competitors to bring products to market before we do, which could impair our ability to successfully commercialize our product candidates and may harm our business and results of operations. 43 Our clinical trial results may also not support approval, whether accelerated approval, conditional marketing authorizations, or regular approval. The results of preclinical and clinical studies may not be predictive of the results of later-stage clinical trials, and product candidates in later stages of clinical trials may fail to show the desired safety and efficacy despite having progressed through preclinical studies and initial clinical trials. In addition, our product candidates could fail to receive regulatory approval for many reasons, including the following: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may disagree with the design or implementation of our clinical trials; the population studied in the clinical program may not be sufficiently broad or representative to assure safety in the full population for which we seek approval; we may be unable to demonstrate that our product candidates’ risk-benefit ratios for their proposed indications are acceptable; the results of clinical trials may not meet the level of statistical significance required by the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities for approval; we may be unable to demonstrate that the clinical and other benefits of our product candidates outweigh their safety risks; the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may disagree with our interpretation of data from preclinical studies or clinical trials; the data collected from clinical trials of our product candidates may not be sufficient to the satisfaction of the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities to obtain regulatory approval in the United States or elsewhere; the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may fail to approve the manufacturing processes, our own manufacturing facilities, or our third-party manufacturers’ facilities with which we contract for clinical and commercial supplies; and the approval policies or regulations of the FDA or comparable foreign regulatory authorities may significantly change in a manner rendering our clinical data insufficient for approval. Further, failure to obtain approval for any of the above reasons may be made more likely by the fact that the FDA and other regulatory authorities have very limited experience with commercial development of our cell therapy for the treatment of Type 1 Diabetes. Our product candidates may cause undesirable side effects or have other properties that could halt their clinical development, prevent their regulatory approval, limit their commercial potential, or result in significant negative consequences. As with most biological drug products, use of our product candidates could be associated with side effects or adverse events which can vary in severity from minor reactions to death and in frequency from infrequent to prevalent. Any of these occurrences may materially and adversely harm our business, financial condition and prospects. Our product candidates are biologics and the manufacture of our product candidates is complex and we may encounter difficulties in production, particularly with respect to process development or scaling-out of our manufacturing capabilities. If we encounter such difficulties, our ability to provide supply of our product candidates for clinical trials or our products for patients, if approved, could be delayed or stopped, or we may be unable to maintain a commercially viable cost structure. Our product candidates are biologics and the process of manufacturing our products is complex, highly regulated and subject to multiple risks. As a result of the complexities, the cost to manufacture biologics is generally higher than traditional small molecule chemical compounds, and the manufacturing process is less reliable and is more difficult to reproduce. Our manufacturing process will be susceptible to product loss or failure due to logistical issues associated with the collection of liver cells, or starting material, from the patient, shipping such material to the manufacturing site, shipping the final product back to the patient, and infusing the patient with the product, manufacturing issues associated with the differences in patient starting materials, interruptions in the manufacturing process, contamination, equipment or reagent failure, improper installation or operation of equipment, vendor or operator error, inconsistency in cell growth, failures in process testing and variability in product characteristics. Even minor deviations from normal manufacturing processes could result in reduced production yields, product defects, and other supply disruptions. If for any reason we lose a patient’s starting material or later-developed product at any point in the process, the manufacturing process for that patient will need to be restarted and the resulting delay may adversely affect that patient’s outcome. If microbial, viral, or other contaminations are discovered in our product candidates or in the manufacturing facilities in which our product candidates are made, such manufacturing facilities may need to be closed for an extended period of time to investigate and remedy the contamination. Because our product candidates are manufactured for each particular patient, we will be required to maintain a chain of identity and tractability of all reagents and viruses involved in the process with respect to materials as they move from the patient to the manufacturing facility, through the manufacturing process, and back to the patient. Maintaining such a chain of identity is difficult and complex, and failure to do so could result in adverse patient outcomes, loss of product, or regulatory action including withdrawal of our products from the market. Further, as product candidates are developed through preclinical to late stage clinical trials towards approval and commercialization, it is common that various aspects of the development program, such as manufacturing methods, are altered along the way in an effort to optimize processes and results. Such changes carry the risk that they will not achieve these intended objectives, and any of these changes could cause our product candidates to perform differently and affect the results of planned clinical trials or other future clinical trials. 44 Although we are working to develop commercially viable processes, doing so is a difficult and uncertain task, and there are risks associated with scaling to the level required for advanced clinical trials or commercialization, including, among others, cost overruns, potential problems with process scale-out, process reproducibility, stability issues, lot consistency, and timely availability of reagents or raw materials. We may ultimately be unable to reduce the cost of goods for our product candidates to levels that will allow for an attractive return on investment if and when those product candidates are commercialized. In addition, the manufacturing process for any products that we may develop is subject to FDA and foreign regulatory authority approval process, and we will need to contract with manufacturers who can meet all applicable FDA and foreign regulatory authority requirements on an ongoing basis. If we are unable to reliably produce products to specifications acceptable to the FDA or other regulatory authorities, we may not obtain or maintain the approvals we need to commercialize such products. Even if we obtain regulatory approval for any of our product candidates, there is no assurance that either we or our subsidiaries and joint ventures will be able to manufacture the approved product to specifications acceptable to the FDA or other regulatory authorities, to produce it in sufficient quantities to meet the requirements for the potential launch of the product, or to meet potential future demand. Any of these challenges could delay completion of clinical trials, require bridging clinical trials or the repetition of one or more clinical trials, increase clinical trial costs, delay approval of our product candidate, impair commercialization efforts, increase our cost of goods, and have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and growth prospects. The manufacture of biological drug products is complex and requires significant expertise and capital investment, including the development of advanced manufacturing techniques and process controls. Manufacturers of biologic products often encounter difficulties in production, particularly in scaling up or out, validating the production process, and assuring high reliability of the manufacturing process (including the absence of contamination). These problems include logistics and shipping, difficulties with production costs and yields, quality control, including stability of the product, product testing, operator error, availability of qualified personnel, as well as compliance with strictly enforced federal, state and foreign regulations. Furthermore, if contaminants are discovered in our supply of our product candidates or in the manufacturing facilities, such manufacturing facilities may need to be closed for an extended period of time to investigate and remedy the contamination. We cannot assure you that any stability failures or other issues relating to the manufacture of our product candidates will not occur in the future. Additionally, our manufacturers may experience manufacturing difficulties due to resource constraints or as a result of labor disputes or unstable political environments. If our manufacturers were to encounter any of these difficulties, or otherwise fail to comply with their contractual obligations, our ability to provide our product candidate to patients in clinical trials would be jeopardized. Any delay or interruption in the supply of clinical trial supplies could delay the completion of clinical trials, increase the costs associated with maintaining clinical trial programs and, depending upon the period of delay, require us to begin new clinical trials at additional expense or terminate clinical trials completely. Cell-based therapies rely on the availability of reagents, specialized equipment, and other specialty materials, which may not be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. For some of these reagents, equipment, and materials, we rely or may rely on sole source vendors or a limited number of vendors, which could impair our ability to manufacture and supply our products. Manufacturing our product candidates will require many reagents and viruses, which are substances used in our manufacturing processes to bring about chemical or biological reactions, and other specialty materials and equipment, some of which are manufactured or supplied by small companies with limited resources and experience to support commercial biologics production. We currently depend on a limited number of vendors for certain materials and equipment used in the manufacture of our product candidates. Some of these suppliers may not have the capacity to support commercial products manufactured under GMP by biopharmaceutical firms or may otherwise be ill-equipped to support our needs. We also do not have supply contracts with many of these suppliers and may not be able to obtain supply contracts with them on acceptable terms or at all. Accordingly, we may experience delays in receiving key materials and equipment to support clinical or commercial manufacturing. 45 For some of these reagents, viruses, equipment, and materials, we rely and may in the future rely on sole source vendors or a limited number of vendors. An inability to continue to source product from any of these suppliers, which could be due to regulatory actions or requirements affecting the supplier, adverse financial or other strategic developments experienced by a supplier, labor disputes or shortages, unexpected demands, or quality issues, could adversely affect our ability to satisfy demand for our product candidates, which could adversely and materially affect our product sales and operating results or our ability to conduct clinical trials, either of which could significantly harm our business. As we continue to develop and scale our manufacturing process, we expect that we will need to obtain rights to and supplies of certain materials and equipment to be used as part of that process. We may not be able to obtain rights to such materials on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and if we are unable to alter our process in a commercially viable manner to avoid the use of such materials or find a suitable substitute, it would have a material adverse effect on our business. There can be no assurance that we will be able to further develop in-house sales and commercial distribution capabilities or establish or maintain relationships with third-party collaborators to successfully commercialize any product in the United States or overseas, and as a result, we may not be able to generate product revenue. A variety of risks associated with operating our business internationally could materially adversely affect our business. We plan to seek regulatory approval of our product candidates outside of the United States and, accordingly, we expect that we, and any potential collaborators in those jurisdictions, will be subject to additional risks related to operating in foreign countries, including: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● differing regulatory requirements in foreign countries, unexpected changes in tariffs, trade barriers, price and exchange controls, and other regulatory requirements; economic weakness, including inflation, or political instability in particular foreign economies and markets; compliance with tax, employment, immigration, and labor laws for employees living or traveling abroad; foreign taxes, including withholding of payroll taxes; foreign currency fluctuations, which could result in increased operating expenses and reduced revenue, and other obligations incident to doing business in another country; difficulties staffing and managing foreign operations; workforce uncertainty in countries where labor unrest is more common than in the United States; potential liability under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or comparable foreign laws; challenges enforcing our contractual and intellectual property rights, especially in those foreign countries that do not respect and protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as the United States; production shortages resulting from any events affecting raw material supply or manufacturing capabilities abroad; and business interruptions resulting from geo-political actions, including war and terrorism. These and other risks associated with our planned international operations may materially adversely affect our ability to attain or maintain profitable operations. We face significant competition from other biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, and our operating results will suffer if we fail to compete effectively. The biopharmaceutical industry, and the rapidly evolving market for developing cell-based therapies is characterized by intense competition and rapid innovation. Our competitors may be able to develop other compounds or drugs that are able to achieve similar or better results. Our potential competitors include major multinational pharmaceutical companies, established biotechnology companies, specialty pharmaceutical companies, universities, and other research institutions. Many of our competitors have substantially greater financial, technical and other resources, such as larger research and development staff and experienced marketing and manufacturing organizations as well as established sales forces. Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large, established companies. Mergers and acquisitions in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries may result in even more resources being concentrated in our competitors. Competition may increase further as a result of advances in the commercial applicability of technologies and greater availability of capital for investment in these industries. Our competitors, either alone or with collaborative partners, may succeed in developing, acquiring or licensing on an exclusive basis drug or biologic products that are more effective, safer, more easily commercialized, or less costly than our product candidates or may develop proprietary technologies or secure patent protection that we may need for the development of our technologies and products. 46 We are highly dependent on our key personnel, and if we are not successful in attracting, motivating and retaining highly qualified personnel, we may not be able to successfully implement our business strategy. Our ability to compete in the highly competitive biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries depends upon our ability to attract, motivate and retain highly qualified managerial, scientific and medical personnel. We are highly dependent on our senior management, particularly our Chief Executive Officer, Vered Caplan. The loss of the services of any of our executive officers, other key employees, and other scientific and medical advisors, and our inability to find suitable replacements, could result in delays in product development and harm our business. Competition for skilled personnel is intense and the turnover rate can be high, which may limit our ability to hire and retain highly qualified personnel on acceptable terms or at all. To induce valuable employees to remain at our company, in addition to salary and cash incentives, we have provided stock option grants that vest over time. The value to employees of these equity grants that vest over time may be significantly affected by movements in our stock price that are beyond our control and may at any time be insufficient to counteract more lucrative offers from other companies. Although we have employment agreements with our key employees, most these employment agreements provide for at-will employment, which means that any of our employees could leave our employment at any time, with or without notice. We do not maintain “key man” insurance policies on the lives of all of these individuals or the lives of any of our other employees. If we issue additional shares in the future, it will result in the dilution of our existing stockholders. Risks Related to our Common Stock Our articles of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 145,833,334 shares of our common stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share. Our Board of Directors may choose to issue some or all of such shares to acquire one or more companies or products and to fund our overhead and general operating requirements. The issuance of any such shares will reduce the book value per share and may contribute to a reduction in the market price of the outstanding shares of our common stock. If we issue any such additional shares, such issuance will reduce the proportionate ownership and voting power of all current stockholders. Further, such issuance may result in a change of control of our company. Our stock price and trading volume may be volatile, which could result in losses for our stockholders. The equity trading markets have recently experienced high volatility resulting in highly variable and unpredictable pricing of equity securities. If the turmoil in the equity trading markets continues, the market for our common stock could change in ways that may not be related to our business, our industry or our operating performance and financial condition. In addition, the trading volume in our common stock may fluctuate and cause significant price variations to occur. Some of the factors that could negatively affect our share price or result in fluctuations in the price or trading volume of our common stock include: ● ● ● ● ● ● actual or anticipated quarterly variations in our operating results; changes in expectations as to our future financial performance or changes in financial estimates, if any; announcements relating to our business; conditions generally affecting the biotechnology industry; the success of our operating strategy; and the operating and stock performance of other comparable companies. 47 Many of these factors are beyond our control, and we cannot predict their potential effects on the price of our common stock. In addition, the stock market is subject to extreme price and volume fluctuations. During the past 52 weeks ended December 31, 2021, our stock price has fluctuated from a low of $2.61 to a high of $8.08. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market price of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance and could have the same effect on our common stock. No assurance can be provided that a purchaser of our common stock will be able to resell their shares of common stock at or above the price that they acquired those shares. We can provide no assurances that the market price of common stock will increase or that the market price of common stock will not fluctuate or decline significantly. We do not intend to pay dividends on any investment in the shares of stock of our company. We have never paid any cash dividends, and currently do not intend to pay any dividends for the foreseeable future. The Board of Directors has not directed the payment of any dividends and does not anticipate paying dividends on the shares for the foreseeable future and intends to retain any future earnings to the extent necessary to develop and expand our business. Payment of cash dividends, if any, will depend, among other factors, on our earnings, capital requirements, and the general operating and financial condition, and will be subject to legal limitations on the payment of dividends out of paid-in capital. Because we do not intend to declare dividends, any gain on an investment in our company will need to come through an increase in the stock’s price. This may never happen, and investors may lose all of their investment in our company. ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS Not applicable. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES We do not own any real property. A description of the leased premises we utilize in several of our facilities is as follows: Entity Property Description Orgenesis Inc.

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS On January 18, 2022, a complaint (the “Complaint”) was filed in the Tel Aviv District Court (the “Court”) against us and our subsidiary Orgenesis Ltd., Prof. Sarah Ferber, Vered Caplan and Dr. Efrat Asa Kunik (collectively, the “defendants”) by plaintiffs the State of Israel, as the owner of Chaim Sheba Medical Center at Tel HaShomer (“Sheba”), and Tel Hashomer Medical Research, Infrastructure and Services Ltd. (collectively, the “plaintiffs”). In the Complaint, the plaintiffs are seeking that the Court issue a declaratory remedy whereby the defendants are required to pay royalties to the plaintiffs at the rate of 7% of the sales and 24% of any and all revenues in consideration for sublicenses related to any product, service or process that contain know-how and technology of Sheba and any and all know-how and technology either developed or supervised by Prof. Ferber in the field of cell therapy, including in the category of the point-of-care platform and any and all services and products in relation to the defendants’ CDMO activity. In addition, the plaintiffs seek that the defendants provide financial statements and pay NIS 10 million to the plaintiffs due to the royalty provisions of the license agreement, dated February 2, 2012, between Orgenesis Ltd. and Tel Hashomer Medical Research, Infrastructure and Services Ltd. (the “License Agreement”). The Complaint alleges that Orgenesis Inc. and Orgenesis Ltd. used know-how and technology of Sheba and know-how and technology either developed or supervised by Prof. Ferber while employed by Sheba in the field of cell therapy, including in the category of the point-of-care platform and the services and products in relation to the defendants’ CDMO activity and are entitled to the payment of certain royalties pursuant to the terms of the License Agreement. The defendants are required to file their statement of defense responding to this Complaint by March 20, 2022. We believe that the allegations in this Complaint are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against the claims. Except as described above, we are not involved in any pending material legal proceedings. ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES Not applicable. 48 PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES Market Information Until March 13, 2018, our common shares were traded under OTC Market Group’s OTCQB. Since March 13, 2018, our common stock has been listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq CM”) under the symbol “ORGS.” As of March 30, 2022, there were 185 holders of record of our common stock, and the last reported sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq CM on March 29, 2022 was $3.35. A significant number of shares of our common stock are held in either nominee name or street name brokerage accounts, and consequently, we are unable to determine the total number of beneficial owners of our common stock. Dividend Policy To date, we have paid no dividends on our common stock and do not expect to pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We plan to retain all earnings to provide funds for the operations of our company. In the future, our Board of Directors will decide whether to declare and pay dividends based upon our earnings, financial condition, capital requirements, and other factors that our Board of Directors may consider relevant. We are not under any contractual restriction as to present or future ability to pay dividends. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities On December 31, 2021, we issued 25,000 shares of common stock to a service provider. We relied upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) thereof and/or Regulation S promulgated by the SEC under the Act with respect to the issuance of such shares in exchange for service provided to us. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities On May 14, 2020, our Board of Directors approved the stock repurchase plan (the “Stock Repurchase Plan”) pursuant to which we may, from time to time, purchase up to $10 million of our outstanding shares of common stock. The shares may be repurchased from time to time in privately negotiated transactions or the open market, including pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plans, and in accordance with applicable regulations of the SEC. The timing and exact amount of any repurchases will depend on various factors including, general and business market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, share price, alternative investment opportunities and other factors.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is intended to provide information necessary to understand our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and highlight certain other information which, in the opinion of management, will enhance a reader’s understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of operations. In particular, the discussion is intended to provide an analysis of significant trends and material changes in our financial position and the operating results of our business during the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020. This discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and related notes included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. These historical financial statements may not be indicative of our future performance. This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contains numerous forward-looking statements, all of which are based on our current expectations and could be affected by the uncertainties and risks described throughout this filing, particularly in “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” See below for a discussion on the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition. Corporate Overview Orgenesis Inc., a Nevada corporation, is a global biotech company working to unlock the potential of cell and gene therapies (“CGTs”) in an affordable and accessible format. CGTs can be centered on autologous (using the patient’s own cells) or allogenic (using master banked donor cells) and are part of a class of medicines referred to as advanced therapy medicinal products (“ATMP”). We are mostly focused on autologous therapies, with processes and systems that are developed for each therapy using a closed and automated processing system approach that is validated for compliant production near the patient for treatment of the patient at the point of care (“POCare”). This approach has the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional commercial manufacturing methods that do not translate well to commercial production of advanced therapies due to their cost prohibitive nature and complex logistics to deliver such treatments to patients (ultimately limiting the number of patients that can have access to, or can afford, these therapies). To achieve these goals, we have developed a Point of Care Platform (“POCare Platform”) comprised of three enabling components: (i) a pipeline of licensed POCare advanced therapies that are designed to be processed and produced, (ii) automated closed POCare technology systems, and (iii) a collaborative worldwide network of POCare research institutes and hospitals (“POCare Network”). The POCare Platform relies in particular on the development of its own production capacity, known as “POCare Services”, whose goal is to ensure that therapies are accessible at the point of treatment (the “POCare Center”). POCare Services, which have been expanding worldwide, are based on a global approach and local adaptation that allows replication and expansion. Global harmonization of the POCare Services is ensured by a central quality system, replicability of infrastructure and equipment and centralized monitoring and data management. POCare Centers are the decentralised hubs that provide harmonized services to customers and partners. We are working to provide a more efficient and scalable pathway for advanced therapies to reach patients more rapidly at lowered costs. The workflow of a POCare Center is designed to allow rapid capacities expansion while integrating new technologies. We also draw on extensive medical expertise to identify promising new autologous therapies to leverage within the POCare Platform either via ownership or licensing. The POCare Network brings together patients, doctors and industry partners with a goal of achieving harmonized, regulated clinical development and production of POCare advanced therapies. 50 We have worked to develop and validate POCare technologies that can be combined within mobile production units for advanced therapies. We have made significant investments in the development of several types of Orgenesis Mobile Processing Units and Labs (“OMPULs”) with the expectation of use and/or distribution through our POCare Network and/or partners, collaborators, and regional distributors. As of the date of this report, the OMPULs have been adapted for processing of CAR-T, TILS and MSC based products and are in the qualification stage for clinical use in various locations. Additional OMPULs are still in the development stage. OMPULs are designed for the purpose of validation, development, performance of clinical trials, manufacturing and/or processing of potential or approved advanced therapy products in a safe, reliable, and cost-effective manner at the point of care, as well as the manufacturing of such CGTs in a consistent and standardized manner in all locations. The OMPUL design delivers a potential industrial solution for us to deliver CGTs to practically any clinical institution at the point of care. The Chief Executive Officer is our chief operating decision-maker who reviews financial information prepared on a consolidated basis. All of our operations are in one segment, being the point-of-care business via our POCare Platform. Therefore, no segment information has been presented. POCare Platform Operations via Subsidiaries We currently conduct our core business operations ourselves and through our subsidiaries which are all wholly owned except as otherwise stated below (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). The Subsidiaries are listed in this annual report in Item 8. Discontinued Operations Until December 31, 2019, we operated the POCare Platform as one of two business separate business segments. The second separate business segment was operated as a Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (“CDMO”) platform, providing third party contract manufacturing and development services for biopharmaceutical companies (the “CDMO Business”). The CDMO platform was historically operated mainly through majority owned Masthercell Global Inc. In February 2020, we and GPP-II Masthercell LLC (“GPP”) sold 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Masthercell (the “Masthercell Business”), which comprised the majority of our CDMO Business, to Catalent Pharma Solutions, Inc. for an aggregate nominal purchase price of $315 million, subject to customary adjustments (the “Masthercell Sale”). We determined that the Masthercell Business (“Discontinued Operations” or “Discontinued Operation”) meets the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation as of the first quarter of 2020. The Discontinued Operation includes the vast majority of the previous CDMO Business, including majority owned Masthercell, including MaSTherCell, Masthercell U.S. and all of the Masthercell Global Subsidiaries. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic continues to present substantial public health and economic challenges around the world, and to date has led to the implementation of various responses, including government-imposed quarantines, stay-at-home orders, travel restrictions, mandated business closures and other public health safety measures. We continue to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business, including how it has and will continue to impact our operations and the operations of our suppliers, vendors and business partners, and may take further precautionary and preemptive actions as may be required by federal, state or local authorities. In addition, we have taken steps to minimize the current environment’s impact on our business and strategy, including devising contingency plans and securing additional resources from third party service providers. For the safety of our employees and families, we have introduced enhanced safety measures in our facilities. 51 Beyond the impact on our product development efforts, the extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which remain highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of the outbreak, the emergence of new variants, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 or the effectiveness of actions taken to contain COVID-19 or treat its impact, including vaccination campaigns, among others. If we or any of the third parties with whom we engage, however, were to experience any additional shutdowns or other prolonged business disruptions, our ability to conduct our business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materially or negatively affected, which could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Although to date, our business has not been materially impacted by COVID-19, it is possible that our clinical development timelines could be negatively affected by COVID-19, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. See “Risk Factors” for additional discussion of the potential adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Developments During Fiscal 2021 License, Collaboration and Joint Venture Agreements During 2021, we executed several license, collaboration and joint venture agreements, the most significant of which are summarized below.

Theracell Laboratories Grant In November 2021, Theracell Laboratories (“Theracell”), our joint venture entity in Greece, was designated as a “Priority Investment of Strategic National Importance” by Enterprise Greece, the official Greek national investment and trade promotion agency, which is responsible for the allocation of Greek government funding. As a result of this designation, Theracell will be inducted into Greece’s fast-track licensing and approval process. This is expected to help advance development and clinical use of Theracell’s CGT at POCare, subject to regulatory requirements. 52 Theracell has been approved to receive a grant of up to €32 million from the Greek government subject to compliance with budgetary conditions, spread over five years. The proceeds are expected to be used for: ● Installation of OMPULs throughout Greece (Point of Care Mode), which includes the completion of industrial research for the operation and automation of OMPULs intended for mass production of cell and gene therapies and experimental development of novel therapies through clinical trials towards regulatory approval. ● Clinical development, production and distribution of novel cell and gene therapies such as immunological therapies, CAR-T genetic modification therapies and Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) based therapies. Revacel Joint Venture During 2021, we, together with our joint venture partner, Revitas SA, incorporated our joint venture entity Revacel Srl in Belgium. Revacel will develop products in the field of muscle-derived mesenchymal stem/progenitor cells. Results of Operations Comparison of the Year Ended December 31, 2021 to the Year Ended December 31, 2020. Our financial results for the year ended December 31, 2021 are summarized as follows in comparison to the year ended December 31, 2020: Revenues Revenues from related party Total revenues Cost of services and other research and development expenses, net Amortization of intangible assets Selling, general and administrative expenses Operating loss Other income Loss from extinguishment in connection with convertible loan (see note 7 a of Item 8) Financial expense, net Share in income of associated company Loss from continuing operation before income taxes Tax (income) expense Net loss from continuing operation Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax Net loss (income) 53 Years Ended December 31, 2020 2021 $ (in thousands) 31,646 $ 3,856 35,502 36,644 948 14,710 16,800 (2,278) 1,865 1,292 272 17,951 108 18,059 - $ 18,059 $ 6,177 1,475 7,652 83,986 478 18,973 95,785 (4) - 1,061 (106) 96,736 (1,609) 95,127 (95,706) (579) Revenues The following table shows our revenues by major revenue streams: Revenue stream: POC and hospital services (Mainly POC) Cell process development services Total Years Ended December 31, 2020 2021 (in thousands) $ $ 32,819 $ 2,683 35,502 $ 6,068 1,584 7,652 Our revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $35,502 thousand, as compared to $7,652 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020, representing an increase of 364%. The increase in revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 was attributable to the increase in point-of-care services revenue as a result of increased activity under master service agreements with our customers. POC services are mainly the result of agreements between us and our joint venture partners (See note 11 in Item 8). Pursuant to the agreements, we provide certain services in support of our joint venture partners’ activity. Of such $32,819 thousand of revenue during the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized $3,856 thousand of point-of-care development service revenue from a related party as compared to $1,475 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2020, representing an increase of 161%. The increase is attributable to expanded activities and additional services provided in the territory. A breakdown of the revenues per customer that constituted at least 10% of revenues is as follows: Revenue earned: Customer A (Korea) Customer B (United Arab Emirates) Customer C (China) Customer D (India) – related party Customer E (Greece) Cost of services and other research and development expenses Salaries and related expenses Stock-based compensation Subcontracting, professional and consulting services Lab expenses Tamir Purchase Agreement (See Note 4) Depreciation expenses, net Other research and development expenses Less – grant Total Years Ended December 31, 2020 2021 (in thousands) 7,703 $ 6,969 6,491 3,856 4,693 2,857 - 1,577 1,475 1,412 Years Ended December 31, 2020 2021 (in thousands) 10,977 $ 729 12,796 3,513 - 874 7,755 - 36,644 $ 5,175 481 3,463 2,348 19,225 603 52,887 (196) 83,986 $ $ $ Cost of services and other research and development expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $36,644 thousand, as compared to $83,986 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020, representing a decrease of 56%. The changes contributing to the net decrease were mainly attributable to the following: ● We experienced a significant decrease (in the amount of $45.3 million) in other research and development expenses during 2021. In 2020, we made significant investments in the development of several types of OMPULs, accounted for in other research and development expenses, with the expectation of use and/or distribution through our POCare Network of partners, collaborators, and joint ventures. The majority of our OMPUL development work was completed in 2021 and we expect that such OMPULs will be placed into service during 2022. 54 ● Salaries and related expenses increased by $5,802 thousand, as a result of additional staff hired to continue the development of our CGT product pipeline as we expand our POC operations globally. We continue to invest in the development of automated processing units and processes, owned and licensed advanced therapies to enable commercial production, and additional work with partners that address POCare needs. ● We experienced an increase in subcontracting, professional and consulting services of $9,333 thousand. As indicated above, we continue to invest in the development of automated processing units and processes, owned and licensed advanced therapies to enable commercial production, and additional work with partners that address POCare needs. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Salaries and related expenses Stock-based compensation Accounting and legal fees Professional fees Rent and related expenses Business development Depreciation expenses, net Other general and administrative expenses Total Years Ended December 31, 2020 2021 (in thousands) 6,277 $ 945 3,293 1,107 249 577 42 2,220 14,710 $ 3,379 1,915 6,946 1,571 407 3,477 101 1,177 18,973 $ $ Selling, general and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $14,710 thousand, as compared to $18,973 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020, representing a decrease of 22%. The decrease for the year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily attributable to: ● A decrease in accounting and legal fees as a result of decreased corporate investment activities in 2021 compared to 2020; and ● A decrease in business development of $2,900 thousand as a result of reduced business development expenditures in 2021 Such decreases were countered by an increase in salaries and related expenses of $2,898 thousand, mainly as a result of a discretionary bonus to our Chief Executive Officer, Vered Caplan, in the amount of $3.6 million pursuant to the discretionary bonus provisions of the Personal Employment Agreement between Ms. Caplan and Orgenesis Services Sàrl Financial Expenses, net Interest expense on convertible loans and loans Foreign exchange loss, net Other income Total $ 55 Years Ended December 31, 2020 2021 (in thousands) 943 574 (225) 1,292 $ 1,254 160 (353) 1,061 Financial expenses, net for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $1,292 thousand, as compared to $1,061 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020, representing an increase of 22%.

The increase for the year ended December 31, 2021 is primarily attributable due to the release of a tax asset up to the amount of Koligo’s net tax liability in the year ended December 31, 2020. Discontinued Operations Discontinued operations relate to the Masthercell Business. The following table presents the financial results associated with the Masthercell Business operation as reflected in our Consolidated Comprehensive loss: OPERATIONS Revenues Cost of revenues Cost of services and other research and development expenses, net Amortization of intangible assets Selling, general and administrative expenses Operating loss Other expenses, net Financial income, net Loss before income taxes Tax income Net loss from discontinuing operation, net of tax Year Ended December 31, 2020 (in thousands) $ $ 2,556 1,482 7 137 1,896 966 305 (29) 1,242 (30) 1,212 Revenues are attributable to the extension of existing customer service contracts with biotechnology clients and from revenues generated from existing manufacturing agreements. Cost of revenues were in line with the growth in revenues and employment of additional operational staff. Selling, general and administrative expenses included additional managerial appointments, increased professional fees, additional rental space including in the U.S., and an increase of business development expenses. Working Capital Current assets Current liabilities Working capital December 31, 2021 2020 (in thousands) $ $ $ 25,758 $ 15,365 $ 10,393 $ 50,077 16,285 33,792 56 Current assets decreased by $24,319 thousand between December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021, which was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents as the we continued to invest in the expansion of our POC operations globally and in the development of our CGT product pipeline and development of automated processing units and processes, and owned and licensed advanced therapies to enable commercial production; and an increase in accounts receivable as a result of increased POC revenues. Current liabilities decreased by $920 thousand between December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021, which was primarily attributable to the following: (i) an decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses due to the reduction of certain expenses; and (ii) an increase in current maturities of convertible loans. Liquidity and Capital Resources Years Ended December 31, 2020 2021 (in thousands) Net loss $ (18,059) $ 579 Net cash used in operating activities Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities Net change in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash $ (26,866) (12,384) (106) (39,356) $ (78,046) 105,610 5,881 33,445 During year ended December 31, 2021, we funded our operations from existing funds. Net cash used in operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $27 million, as compared to net cash used in operating activities of approximately $78 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. Since the Masthercell Sale, and particularly in the year ended December 31, 2020, we entered into new joint venture agreements with new partners in various jurisdictions that allowed us to grow our infrastructure and expand our processing sites into new markets and jurisdictions. In addition, we engaged some of these joint venture partners to perform research and development services to further develop and adapt our systems and devices for specific purposes. We invested manpower and financial resources to focus on developing, manufacturing and rolling out several types of OMPULs to be used and/or distributed through our POCare Network of partners, collaborators, and joint ventures. Net cash used in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was approximately $12 million, as compared to net cash provided by investing activities of approximately $106 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The net cash provided in the year ended December 31, 2020 was mainly attributable to the Masthercell Sale. Liquidity and Capital Resources Outlook Through December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $106.4 million as of December 31, 2021 and negative operating cashflows of $26.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company’s activities have been funded by generating revenue, through offerings of the Company’s securities and selling its Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (“CDMO”) business. There is no assurance that the Company’s business will generate sustainable positive cash flows to fund its business. See also note 21 with respect to an investment agreement in the amount of approximately $14.8 million (before deducting related offering expenses), which has been entered into subsequent to December 31, 2021. Based on its current cash resources and commitments, including such investment agreement discussed in note 21, the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development activities and expected level of expenditures for at least 12 months from the date of the issuance of these financial statements, although no assurance can be given that it will not need additional funds prior to such time. 57 If there are further increases in operating costs for facilities expansion, research and development, commercial and clinical activity or decreases in revenues from customers, the Company will need to use mitigating actions as to seek additional financing or postpone expenses that are not based on firm commitments. In addition, in order to fund the Company’s operations until such time that the Company can generate sustainable positive cash flows, the Company may need to raise additional funds. In December 2018, we entered into a Controlled Equity Offering Sales Agreement, or Sales Agreement, with Cantor Fitzgerald & Co., or Cantor, pursuant to which we may offer and sell, from time to time through Cantor, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $25.0 million. We will pay Cantor a commission rate equal to 3.0% of the aggregate gross proceeds from each sale. Shares sold under the Sales Agreement will be offered and sold pursuant to our Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-223777) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2018, or the Shelf Registration Statement, and a prospectus supplement and accompanying base prospectus that we filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 20, 2018. We have not yet sold any shares of our common stock pursuant to the Sales Agreement. 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. Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in the notes to our financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. We believe that the accounting policies below are critical for one to fully understand and evaluate our financial condition and results of operations. Income Taxes Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Income tax expense is the tax payable or refundable for the period plus or minus the change during the period in deferred tax assets and liabilities. 58 In addition, our management performs an evaluation of all uncertain income tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our income tax returns to determine whether the income tax positions meet a “more likely than not” standard of being sustained under examination by the applicable taxing authorities. This evaluation is required to be performed for all open tax years, as defined by the various statutes of limitations, for federal and state purposes. Revenue from Contracts with Customers Our agreements are primarily service contracts that range in duration. We recognize revenue when control of these services is transferred to the customer for an amount, referred to as the transaction price, which reflects the consideration to which we are expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. A contract with a customer exists only when: ● ● ● ● the parties to the contract have approved it and are committed to perform their respective obligations; we can identify each party’s rights regarding the distinct goods or services to be transferred (“performance obligations”); we can determine the transaction price for the goods or services to be transferred; and the contract has commercial substance and it is probable that we will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. Nature of Revenue Streams We have two main revenue streams being POC development services which includes hospital supplies, and cell process development services. POC Development Services Revenue recognized under contracts for POC development services may, in some contracts, represent multiple performance obligations (where promises to the customers are distinct) in circumstances in which the work packages are not interrelated or the customer is able to complete the services performed. For arrangements that include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the identified performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices. We recognize revenue when, or as, it satisfies a performance obligation. At contract inception, we determine whether the services are transferred over time or at a point in time. Performance obligations that have no alternative use and that we have the right to payment for performance completed to date, at all times during the contract term, are recognized over time. All other Performance obligations are recognized as revenues by us at point of time (upon completion). Included in POC development services is hospital supplies revenue which is derived principally from the sale or lease of products and the performance of services to hospitals or other medical providers. Revenue is earned and recognized when product and services are received by the customer. Significant Judgement and Estimates Significant judgment is required to identifying the distinct performance obligations and estimating the standalone selling price of each distinct performance obligation, and identifying which performance obligations create assets with alternative use to us, which results in revenue recognized upon completion, and which performance obligations are transferred to the customer over time. 59 Cell Process Development Services Revenue recognized under contracts for cell process development services may, in some contracts, represent multiple performance obligations (where promises to the customers are distinct) in circumstances in which the work packages and milestones are not interrelated or the customer is able to complete the services performed independently or by using our competitors. In other contracts when the above circumstances are not met, the promises are not considered distinct and the contract represents one performance obligation. All performance obligations are satisfied over time, as there is no alternative use to the services it performs, since, in nature, those services are unique to the customer, which retain the ownership of the intellectual property created through the process. For arrangements that include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the identified performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices. For these contracts, the standalone selling prices are based on our normal pricing practices when sold separately with consideration of market conditions and other factors, including customer demographics and geographic location. We measure the revenue to be recognized over time on a contract by contract basis, determining the use of either a cost-based input method or output method, depending on whichever best depicts the transfer of control over the life of the performance obligation.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act and regulations promulgated thereunder) as of December 31, 2021, or the Evaluation Date. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the Evaluation Date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective. Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management, under the supervision of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting for our company. Internal control over financial reporting is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of our company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. 60 Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021. In making this evaluation, our management used the criteria set forth in the Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Stock options were valued using the Black-Scholes model. The grant-date fair value does not necessarily reflect the value of shares which may be received in the future with respect to these awards. The grant-date fair value of the stock options in this column is a non-cash expense for us that reflects the fair value of the stock options on the grant date and therefore does not affect our cash balance. The fair value of the stock options will likely vary from the actual value the holder receives because the actual value depends on the number of options exercised and the market price of our Common Stock on the date of exercise. For a discussion of the assumptions made in the valuation of the stock options, see Note 15 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. No executive officers received options awards in the year ended December 31, 2021. See below for a summary of options awarded in previous years.

Potential Payments upon Change of Control or Termination following a Change of Control Our employment agreements with our named executive officers provide incremental compensation in the event of termination, as described herein. Generally, we currently do not provide any severance specifically upon a change in control nor do we provide for accelerated vesting upon change in control. Termination of employment also impacts outstanding stock options. 70 Due to the factors that may affect the amount of any benefits provided upon the events described below, any actual amounts paid or payable may be different than those shown in this table. Factors that could affect these amounts include the basis for the termination, the date the termination event occurs, the base salary of an executive on the date of termination of employment and the price of our common stock when the termination event occurs. The following table sets forth the compensation that would have been received by each of our executive officers had they been terminated as of December 31, 2021. Name Vered Caplan Salary Continuation * $ (*) Termination by Company without cause: $250,000 Termination without cause following a change in control: $375,000 Director Compensation The following table sets forth for each non-employee director that served as a director during the year ended December 31, 2021: Year Ended December 31, 2021 Fees Earned or Paid in Cash ($) 100,000 60,000 105,000 65,000 50,000 Stock Awards ($) - - - - - Option Awards ($) (1) 34,518(2) 26,417(3) 36,015(4) 27,914(5) 24,216(6) Non-equity Incentive Plan Compensation ($) Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Earnings ($) All Other Compensation ($) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Total ($) 134,518 86,417 141,015 92,914 74,216 Name Guy Yachin Yaron Adler Dr. David Sidransky Ashish Nanda Mario Philips (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) In accordance with SEC rules, the amounts in this column reflect the fair value on the grant date of the option awards granted to the named executive, calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 718. Stock options were valued using the Black-Scholes model. The grant-date fair value does not necessarily reflect the value of shares which may be received in the future with respect to these awards. The grant-date fair value of the stock options in this column is a non-cash expense for us that reflects the fair value of the stock options on the grant date and therefore does not affect our cash balance. The fair value of the stock options will likely vary from the actual value the holder receives because the actual value depends on the number of options exercised and the market price of our common stock on the date of exercise. For a discussion of the assumptions made in the valuation of the stock options, see Note 15 (Stock Based Compensation) to our financial statements, which are included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. In respect of 19,600 options which will vest on December 17, 2022. In respect of 15,000 options which will vest on December 17, 2022. In respect of 20,450 options which will vest on December 17, 2022. In respect of 15,850 options which will vest on December 17, 2022. In respect of 13,750 options which will vest on December 17, 2022. 71 All directors receive reimbursement for reasonable out of pocket expenses in attending Board of Directors meetings and for participating in our business. Compensation Policy for Non-Employee Directors. In January 2021, the Board of Directors adopted an updated compensation policy for non-employee directors which replaced the previous non-employee director compensation terms and which became effective January 2021. Under the policy, each director is to receive an annual cash compensation of $40,000 and the Chairman or lead director is paid an additional $20,000 per annum. Each committee member will be paid an additional $10,000 per annum and the committee chairman of the Audit and Research and Development committees is to receive $20,000 per annum while the chairman of the other committees is to receive $15,000 per annum. Cash compensation will be made on a quarterly basis. All newly appointed directors also receive options to purchase up to 6,250 shares of our common stock. All directors are entitled to an annual bonus of options for 12,500 shares and each committee member is entitled to a further option to purchase up to 1,250 shares of common stock and each committee chairperson to options for an additional 2,100 shares of common stock. In addition, the Chairman and Vice Chairman shall be granted an option to purchase 4,200 shares of our ordinary shares. In all cases, the options are granted at a per share exercise price equal to the closing price of our publicly traded stock on the date of grant and the vesting schedule is determined by the compensation committee at the time of grant. Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation None of our executive officers has served as a member of the Board of Directors, or as a member of the compensation or similar committee, of any entity that has one or more executive officers who served on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

The term of the consulting agreement was for a period of one year from August 1, 2014 and automatically renews for additional one-year periods upon the expiration of the term unless otherwise terminated.

Pursuant to agreements with Image, we procured services from Image in the amount of $4.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2020, and earned revenues from Image in the amount of $3.9 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

Such loan is senior to any and all other indebtedness of Image or, after its establishment, Image’s joint venture entity. The Company shall have a first priority security interest on all of Image’s or, if established, Image’s joint venture entity’s, present and future assets. Pursuant to our Audit Committee charter adopted in March 2017, the Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing and approving, prior to our entry into any such transaction, all transactions in which we are a participant and in which any parties related to us have or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES Our Board of Directors has appointed Kesselman & Kesselman, a member firm of PricewaterhouseCoopers International Limited (“PwC”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. The following table sets forth the fees billed to us for professional services rendered by PwC for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020: Services: Audit Fees (1) Audit-Related Fees (2) Tax Fees (3) All Other Fees Total fees Years Ended December 31, 2021 2020 $ $ 228,188 $ 16,634 29,863 - 274,685 $ 267,231 67,405 12,500 10,000 357,136 (1) (2) Audit fees consisted of audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work generally only the independent registered public accounting firm can reasonably be expected to provide, such as statutory audits. Audit related fees consisted principally of audits of employee benefit plans and special procedures related to regulatory filings in 2021. (3) The tax fees were paid for reviewing various tax related matters. Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-audit Services of Independent Public Accountant Consistent with SEC policies regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee has responsibility for appointing, setting compensation and overseeing the work of our independent registered public accounting firm. In recognition of this responsibility, the Audit Committee has established a policy to pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm. Prior to engagement of an independent registered public accounting firm for the next year’s audit, management will submit an aggregate of services expected to be rendered during that year for each of four categories of services to the Audit Committee for approval. 1. Audit services include audit work performed in the preparation of financial statements, as well as work that generally only an independent registered public accounting firm can reasonably be expected to provide, including comfort letters, statutory audits, and attest services and consultation regarding financial accounting and/or reporting standards. 2. Audit-Related services are for assurance and related services that are traditionally performed by an independent registered public accounting firm, including due diligence related to mergers and acquisitions, employee benefit plan audits, and special procedures required to meet certain regulatory requirements. 3. Tax services include all services performed by an independent registered public accounting firm’s tax personnel except those services specifically related to the audit of the financial statements, and includes fees in the areas of tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice. 76 4. Other Fees are those associated with services not captured in the other categories. We generally do not request such services from our independent registered public accounting firm. Prior to engagement, the Audit Committee pre-approves these services by category of service. The fees are budgeted and the Audit Committee requires our independent registered public accounting firm and management to report actual fees versus the budget periodically throughout the year by category of service. During the year, circumstances may arise when it may become necessary to engage our independent registered public accounting firm for additional services not contemplated in the original pre-approval. In those instances, the Audit Committee requires specific pre-approval before engaging our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member to whom such authority is delegated must report, for informational purposes only, any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. ITEM 15.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA ORGENESIS INC. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2021 TABLE OF CONTENTS REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM (PCAOB name: Kesselman & Kesselman C.P.A.s; PCAOB ID: 1309) CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS: Consolidated Balance Sheets Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss (Income) Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements F-1 Page F-2 F-3 F-5 F-6 F-8 F-9 Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and shareholders of Orgenesis Inc.: Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Orgenesis Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive loss (income), changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, including the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Basis for Opinion These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. Liquidity As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $106.4 million as of December 31, 2021 and negative operating cashflows of $26.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company’s activities have been funded by generating revenue, through offerings of the Company’s securities and selling its Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (“CDMO”) business. The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures related to liquidity is a critical audit matter are the estimation and execution uncertainty regarding the Company’s future cash flows and management’s judgments and assumptions in estimating these cash flows to conclude the Company would have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months form the date of the issuance of the financial statements. This in turn led to a high degree of auditor subjectivity and judgment to evaluate the audit evidence supporting the liquidity conclusions. Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. Our audit procedures included, among others, testing the reasonableness of the forecasted revenue, operating expenses, and uses and sources of cash used in management’s assessment of whether the Company has sufficient liquidity to fund operations for at least the next 12 months form the date of the issuance of the financial statements. This testing included assessing the appropriateness of forecast assumptions by comparing prior period forecasts to actual results, comparing forecasted revenue to recent historical financial information and signed contracts, inquiring of management regarding the mitigating actions to reduce costs and manage cash flows and assessing whether the mitigating actions were within the Company’s control, testing the underlying data generated to prepare the forecast scenarios and determining whether there was adequate support for the assumptions underlying the forecast, considering the terms of the Company’s existing convertible loans, and evaluating management’s analysis of the impact of the above assumptions on the forecasted cash flows. We assessed the adequacy of the Company’s liquidity disclosures included in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements. /s/ Kesselman & Kesselman Certified Public Accountants (Isr.)

General Orgenesis Inc., a Nevada corporation, is a global biotech company working to unlock the potential of cell and gene therapies (“CGTs”) in an affordable and accessible format. CGTs can be centered on autologous (using the patient’s own cells) or allogenic (using master banked donor cells) and are part of a class of medicines referred to as advanced therapy medicinal products (“ATMP”). The Company mostly focused on autologous therapies, with processes and systems that are developed for each therapy using a closed and automated processing system approach that is validated for compliant production near the patient for treatment of the patient at the point of care (“POCare”). This approach has the potential to overcome the limitations of traditional commercial manufacturing methods that do not translate well to commercial production of advanced therapies due to their cost prohibitive nature and complex logistics to deliver such treatments to patients (ultimately limiting the number of patients that can have access to, or can afford, these therapies). To achieve these goals, the Company has developed a Point of Care Platform (“POCare Platform”) comprised of three enabling components: (i) a pipeline of licensed POCare advanced therapies that are designed to be processed and produced, (ii) automated closed POCare technology systems, and (iii) a collaborative worldwide network of POCare research institutes and hospitals (“POCare Network”). The POCare Platform relies in particular on the development of its own production capacity, known as “POCare Services”, whose goal is to ensure that therapies are accessible at the point of treatment (the “POCare Center”). POCare Services, which have been expanding worldwide, are based on a global approach and local adaptation that allows replication and expansion. Global harmonization of the POCare Services is ensured by a central quality system, replicability of infrastructure and equipment and centralized monitoring and data management. The POCare Services include: ● ● ● ● ● ● Process development of therapies that are intended for use of the POCare Network, Adaptation of automation and closed systems to such therapies, Incorporation of the processing systems and the Good Manufacturing Processes (“GMP”) in the OMPULs, Tech transfers to required POCare Centers and training of local teams, Processing and supply and of the therapies and required supplies under GMP conditions by the various POCare centers, including required quality control testing, CRO services for clinical trials. POCare Centers are the decentralised hubs that provide harmonized services to customers and partners. The Company is working to provide a more efficient and scalable pathway for advanced therapies to reach patients more rapidly at lowered costs. The workflow of a POCare Center is designed to allow rapid capacities expansion while integrating new technologies. The Company also draws on extensive medical expertise to identify promising new autologous therapies to leverage within the POCare Platform either via ownership or licensing. The POCare Network brings together patients, doctors and industry partners with a goal of achieving harmonized, regulated clinical development and production of POCare advanced therapies. The Company has worked to develop and validate POCare technologies that can be combined within mobile production units for advanced therapies. The Company has made significant investments in the development of several types of Orgenesis Mobile Processing Units and Labs (“OMPULs”) with the expectation of use and/or distribution through the Company’s POCare Network and/or partners, collaborators, and regional distributors. As of the date of this report, the OMPULs have been adapted for processing of CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor T-cell) therapy, TIL (tumor infiltrating lymphocyte) and MSC (mesenchymal stem cell) based products, and are in the qualification stage for clinical use in various locations. Additional OMPULs are still in the development stage. F-9 OMPULs are designed for the purpose of validation, development, performance of clinical trials, manufacturing and/or processing of potential or approved advanced therapy products in a safe, reliable, and cost-effective manner at the point of care, as well as the manufacturing of such CGTs in a consistent and standardized manner in all locations. The OMPUL design delivers a potential industrial solution for us to deliver CGTs to practically any clinical institution at the point of care. The Company has continued to grow its infrastructure and expand its processing sites into new markets and jurisdictions. In addition, the Company has continued investing manpower and financial resources to focus on developing, processing and rolling out several types of OMPULs to be used and/or distributed through its POCare Network and/or partners, collaborators, and regional distributors. The Chief Executive Officer is the Company’s chief operating decision-maker who reviews financial information prepared on a consolidated basis. All of our continuing operations are in one segment, being the point-of-care business via our POCare Platform. Therefore, no segment information has been presented. The Company currently conducts its core CGT business operations through itself and its subsidiaries which are all wholly owned except as otherwise stated (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”). The Subsidiaries are as follows: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Orgenesis Maryland Inc. (the “U.S. Subsidiary”) is the center of activity in North America and is currently focused on setting up and providing POCare Services to the POCare Network. Koligo Therapeutics, Inc. (“Koligo”) is a Kentucky corporation that we acquired in 2020. Koligo is a leading regenerative medicine company, specializing in developing personalized cell therapies. It is currently focused on commercialising its metabolic pipeline via the POCare network throughout the United States and in international markets. Orgenesis CA, Inc. (the “California subsidiary”) is a Californian subsidiary incorporated in 2021 and is currently focussed on development of the Company’s technologies and therapies in California. Orgenesis Belgium SRL (the “Belgian Subsidiary”) is currently focused on expanding our POCare network in Europe, process development and the preparation of European clinical trials. Orgenesis Switzerland Sarl (the “Swiss Subsidiary”), was incorporated in October 2020, and is currently focused on providing management services to us. Orgenesis Germany GmbH (incorporated in 2021) (the “German subsidiary”) is currently focused on providing CRO services to the POCare Network. Korea: Orgenesis Korea Co. Ltd. (the “Korean Subsidiary”), is a provider of processing and pre-clinical services in Korea. The Company owns 94.12% of the Korean Subsidiary. Orgenesis Ltd. in Israel (the “Israeli Subsidiary”) is a provider of regulatory, clinical and pre-clinical services in Israel. Orgenesis Biotech Israel Ltd. (“OBI”) is a provider of process development and cell-processing services in Israel. These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orgenesis Inc. and its subsidiaries including the Discontinued Operations. The Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) is listed and traded on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “ORGS.” F-10 As used in this report and unless otherwise indicated, the term “Company” refers to Orgenesis Inc. and its Subsidiaries. Unless otherwise specified, all amounts are expressed in United States Dollars. b. Liquidity Through December 31, 2021, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $106.4 million as of December 31, 2021 and negative operating cashflows of $26.9 million in the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company’s activities have been funded by generating revenue, through offerings of the Company’s securities and selling its Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (“CDMO”) business. There is no assurance that the Company’s business will generate sustainable positive cash flows to fund its business. See also note 21 with respect to an investment agreement in the amount of approximately $14.8 million (before deducting related offering expenses), which has been entered into subsequent to December 31, 2021. Based on its current cash resources and commitments, including such investment agreement discussed in note 21, the Company believes it will be able to maintain its current planned development activities and expected level of expenditures for at least 12 months from the date of the issuance of these financial statements, although no assurance can be given that it will not need additional funds prior to such time. If there are further increases in operating costs for facilities expansion, research and development, commercial and clinical activity or decreases in revenues from customers, the Company will need to use mitigating actions as to seek additional financing or postpone expenses that are not based on firm commitments. In addition, in order to fund the Company’s operations until such time that the Company can generate sustainable positive cash flows, the Company may need to raise additional funds. The estimation and execution uncertainty regarding the Company’s future cash flows and management’s judgments and assumptions in estimating these cash flows to conclude that the Company would have sufficient liquidity to fund its operations for at least the next 12 months is a significant estimate. Those assumptions include reasonableness of the forecasted revenue, operating expenses, and uses and sources of cash. NOTE 2 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). a. Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that may affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, judgments and methodologies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities and equity, the amount of revenues and expenses and determining whether an acquisition is a business combination or a purchase of asset. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The full extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic may directly or indirectly impact our business, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that are uncertain, including as a result of new information that may emerge concerning COVID-19 and the actions taken to contain it or treat COVID-19, as well as the economic impact on local, regional, national and international customers and markets. We examined the impact of COVID-19 on our financial statements, and although there is currently no major impact, there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. Actual results may differ from these estimates. b. Business Combination The Company allocates the purchase price of an acquired business to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon their estimated fair values on the acquisition date. Any excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. Acquired in-process backlog, customer relations, technology, IPR&D, brand name and know how are recognized at fair value. The purchase price allocation process requires management to make significant estimates and assumptions, especially at the acquisition date with respect to intangible assets. Direct transaction costs associated with the business combination are expensed as incurred. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The Company includes the results of operations of the business that it has acquired in its consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition. If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquire is re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date; any gains or losses arising from such re-measurement are recognized in profit or loss. F-11 c. Discontinued operations Upon divestiture of a business, the Company classifies such business as a discontinued operations, if the divested business represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. For disposals other than by sale such as abandonment, the results of operations of a business would not be recorded as a discontinued operations until the period in which the business is actually abandoned. The Masthercell Business divestiture qualifies as a discontinued operations and therefore has been presented as such. The results of businesses that have qualified as a discontinued operations have been presented as such for all reporting periods. Results of discontinued operations include all revenues and expenses directly derived from such businesses; general corporate overhead is not allocated to discontinued operations. Any loss or gain that arose from the divestiture of a business that qualifies as discontinued operations is included within the results of the discontinued operations. The Company included information regarding cash flows from discontinued operations (See Note 3). d. Cash Equivalents The Company considers cash equivalents to be all short-term, highly liquid investments, which include money market instruments, that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use, and short-term bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase that are not restricted as to withdrawal or use and are readily convertible to known amounts of cash. e. Cost of services and other research and development expenses, net Cost of services and other research and development expenses, net include costs directly attributable to the conduct of research and development activities, including the cost of salaries, stock-based compensation expenses, payroll taxes and other employees’ benefits, lab expenses, consumable equipment, courier fees, travel expenses, professional fees and consulting fees. All costs associated with research and developments are expensed as incurred. Participation from government departments and from research foundations for development of approved projects is recognized as a reduction of expense as the related costs are incurred. Research and development in-process acquired as part of an asset purchase, which has not reached technological feasibility and has no alternative future use, is expensed as incurred. f. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its Subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. g. Non-Marketable Equity Investments The Company’s investments in certain non-marketable equity securities in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence, but it does not control through variable interests or voting interests. These are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and presented as Investment in associates, net, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Under the equity method, the Company recognizes its proportionate share of the comprehensive income or loss of the investee. The Company’s share of income and losses from equity method investments is included in share in losses of associated company. The Company reviews its investments accounted for under the equity method for possible impairment, which generally involves an analysis of the facts and changes in circumstances influencing the investments. For other investments, the Company applies the measurement alternative upon the adoption of ASU 2016-01, and elected to record equity investments without readily determinable fair values at cost, less impairment, adjusted for subsequent observable price changes. In this measurement alternative method, changes in the carrying value of the equity investments are reflected in current earnings. Changes in the carrying value of the equity investment are required to be made whenever there are observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or similar investment of the same issuer. F-12 h. Functional Currency The currency of the primary economic environment in which the operations of the Company and part of its Subsidiaries are conducted is the U.S. dollar (“$” or “dollar”). The functional currency of the Belgian Subsidiaries is the Euro (“€” or “Euro”). The functional currency of Orgenesis Korea is the Won (“KRW”). Most of the Company’s expenses are incurred in dollars, and the source of the Company’s financing has been provided in dollars. Thus, the functional currency of the Company and its other subsidiaries is the dollar. Transactions and balances originally denominated in dollars are presented at their original amounts. Balances in foreign currencies are translated into dollars using historical and current exchange rates for nonmonetary and monetary balances, respectively. For foreign transactions and other items reflected in the statements of operations, the following exchange rates are used: (1) for transactions – exchange rates at transaction dates or average rates and (2) for other items (derived from nonmonetary balance sheet items such as depreciation) – historical exchange rates. The resulting transaction gains or losses are recorded as financial income or expenses. The financial statements of the Belgian Subsidiaries and Orgenesis Korea are included in the consolidated financial statements, translated into U.S. dollars. Assets and liabilities are translated at year-end exchange rates, while revenues and expenses are translated at yearly average exchange rates during the year. Differences resulting from translation of assets and liabilities are presented as other comprehensive income. i. Inventory The Company’s inventory consists of raw material for use for the services provided. The Company periodically evaluates the quantities on hand. Cost of the raw materials is determined using the weighted average cost method. The inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or net realizable value. j. Property, plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost and depreciated by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets. Annual rates of depreciation are presented in the table below: Production facility Laboratory equipment Office equipment and computers k. Intangible assets Intangible assets and their useful lives are as follows: Customer Relationships Know-How Technology In-process research and development Useful Life (Years) 10 12 15 Indefinite Weighted Average Useful Life (Years) 5 – 10 2 – 10 3 – 17 Amortization Recorded at Comprehensive Loss Line Item Amortization of intangible assets Amortization of intangible assets Amortization of intangible assets Intangible assets are recorded at acquisition less accumulated amortization and impairment. Definite lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful life using the straight-line method, which is determined by identifying the period over which the cash flows from the asset are expected to be generated. The Company capitalizes IPR&D projects acquired as part of a business combination. On successful completion of each project, IPR&D assets are reclassified to developed technology and amortized over their estimated useful lives. F-13 l. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of consideration transferred over the value assigned to the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets of businesses acquired. Goodwill is allocated to reporting units expected to benefit from the business combination. Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually in the fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Following the sale of Masthercell the Company manages the business as one operating segment and one reporting unit. Goodwill impairment is recognized when the quantitative assessment results in the carrying value exceeding the fair value, in which case an impairment charge is recorded to the extent the carrying value exceeds the fair value. There were no impairment charges to goodwill during the periods presented. m. Impairment of Long-lived Assets The Company reviews its property, plants and equipment, intangible assets subject to amortization and other long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset class may not be recoverable. Indicators of potential impairment include: an adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset; an adverse change in the extent or manner in which the asset is used or is expected to be used, or in its physical condition; and current or forecasted operating or cash flow losses that demonstrate continuing losses associated with the use of the asset. If indicators of impairment are present, the asset is tested for recoverability by comparing the carrying value of the asset to the related estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. If the expected cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the asset is considered to be impaired and its carrying value is written down to fair value, based on the related estimated discounted cash flows. There were no impairment charges in the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. For indefinite life intangible assets, The Company performs an impairment test annually in the fourth quarter and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The Company determines the fair value of the asset based on discounted cash flows and records an impairment loss if its book value exceeds fair value. n. Income Taxes 1) With respect to deferred taxes, income taxes are computed using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the currently enacted tax rates and laws. A valuation allowance is recognized to the extent that it is more likely than not that the deferred taxes will not be realized in the foreseeable future. 2) The Company follows a two-step approach to recognizing and measuring uncertain tax positions. The first step is to evaluate the tax position for recognition by determining if the available evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on examination. If this threshold is met, the second step is to measure the tax position as the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. 3) Taxes that would apply in the event of disposal of investment in Subsidiaries and associated companies have not been taken into account in computing the deferred income taxes, as it is the Company’s intention to hold these investments and not realize them. o. Stock-based Compensation The Company recognizes stock-based compensation for the estimated fair value of share-based awards. The Company measures compensation expense for share-based awards based on estimated fair values on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This option pricing model requires estimates as to the option’s expected term and the price volatility of the underlying stock. The Company amortizes the value of share-based awards to expense over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. F-14 p. Redeemable Non-controlling Interest Non-controlling interests with embedded redemption features, whose settlement is not at the Company’s discretion, are considered redeemable non-controlling interest. Redeemable non-controlling interests are considered to be temporary equity and are therefore presented as a mezzanine section between liabilities and equity on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Subsequent adjustment of the amount presented in temporary equity is required only if the Company’s management estimates that it is probable that the instrument will become redeemable. Adjustments of redeemable non-controlling interest to its redemption value are recorded through additional paid-in capital. q. Loss (income) per Share of Common Stock Basic net loss (income) per share is computed by dividing the net loss (income) for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for each period. Diluted net loss (income) per share is based upon the weighted average number of common shares and of common shares equivalents outstanding when dilutive. Common share equivalents include: (i) outstanding stock options and warrants which are included under the treasury share method when dilutive, and (ii) common shares to be issued under the assumed conversion of the Company’s outstanding convertible loans and debt, which are included under the if-converted method when dilutive (See Note 14). r. Concentration of Credit Risk Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentration of credit risk consist of principally cash and cash equivalents, bank deposits and certain receivables. The Company held these instruments with highly rated financial institutions and the Company has not experienced any significant credit losses in these accounts and does not believe the Company is exposed to any significant credit risk on these instruments apart of accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers for the purpose of determining the appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts. An appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts is included in the accounts and netted against accounts receivable. In the year ended December 31, 2021 the Company has not experienced any material credit losses in these accounts and does not believe it is exposed to significant credit risk on these instruments. Bad debt allowance is created when objective evidence exists of inability to collect all sums owed it under the original terms of the debit balances. Material customer difficulties, the probability of their going bankrupt or undergoing economic reorganization and insolvency, material delays in payments and other objective considerations by management that indicate expected risk of payment are all considered indicative of reduced debtor balance value. s. Treasury shares The Company repurchases its ordinary shares from time to time on the open market and holds such shares as treasury stock. The Company presents the cost to repurchase treasury stock as a reduction of shareholders’ equity. The Company did not reissue nor cancel treasury shares during the year ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. t. Beneficial Conversion Feature (“BCF”) When the Company issues convertible debt, if the stock price is greater than the effective conversion price (after allocation of the total proceeds) on the measurement date, the conversion feature is considered “beneficial” to the holder. If there is no contingency, this difference is treated as issued equity and reduces the carrying value of the host debt; the discount is accreted as deemed interest on the debt (See Note 7). u. Other Comprehensive Loss Other comprehensive loss represents adjustments of foreign currency translation. F-15 v. Revenue from Contracts with Customers The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers according to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers and the related amendments (“New Revenue Standard”) to all contracts. The Company’s agreements are primarily service contracts that range in duration from a few months to one year. The Company recognizes revenue when control of these services is transferred to the customer for an amount, referred to as the transaction price, which reflects the consideration to which the Company is expected to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. A contract with a customer exists only when: ● ● ● ● the parties to the contract have approved it and are committed to perform their respective obligations; the Company can identify each party’s rights regarding the distinct goods or services to be transferred (“performance obligations”); the Company can determine the transaction price for the goods or services to be transferred; and the contract has commercial substance and it is probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for the goods or services that will be transferred to the customer. The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component since the Company expects, at contract inception, that the period between the time of transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and the time the customer pays for these goods or services to be generally one year or less. The Company’s credit terms to customers are in average between thirty and one hundred and fifty days. Nature of Revenue Streams The Company’s main revenue streams from continuing operations are POC development services and Cell Process Development Services. POC Development Services Revenue recognized under contracts for POC development services may, in some contracts, represent multiple performance obligations (where promises to the customers are distinct) in circumstances in which the work packages are not interrelated or the customer is able to complete the services performed. For arrangements that include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the identified performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices. The Company recognizes revenue when, or as, it satisfies a performance obligation. At contract inception, the Company determines whether the services are transferred over time or at a point in time. Performance obligations that have no alternative use and that the Company has the right to payment for performance completed to date, at all times during the contract term, are recognized over time. All other performance obligations are recognized as revenues by the Company at point of time (upon completion). In addition, during 2021, the Company started providing support services to its customers. These revenues are recognized as and when the services are provided because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided. Also included in POC development services is Hospital supplies revenue which is derived principally from the performance of services to hospitals or other medical providers. Revenue is earned and recognized when product and services are received by the customer. Significant Judgement and Estimates Significant judgment is required to identifying the distinct performance obligations and estimating the standalone selling price of each distinct performance obligation and identifying which performance obligations create assets with alternative use to the Company, which results in revenue recognized upon completion, and which performance obligations are transferred to the customer over time. F-16 Cell Process Development Services Revenue recognized under contracts for cell process development services may, in some contracts, represent multiple performance obligations (where promises to the customers are distinct) in circumstances in which the work packages and milestones are not interrelated or the customer is able to complete the services performed independently or by using competitors of the Company. In other contracts when the above circumstances are not met, the promises are not considered distinct and the contract represents one performance obligation. All performance obligations are satisfied over time, as there is no alternative use to the services it performs, since, in nature, those services are unique to the customer, which retain the ownership of the intellectual property created through the process. Additionally, due to the non-refundable upfront payment feature which may exist in certain contracts and which the customer pays together with the payment term and cancellation fine, Company has a right to payment (which includes a reasonable margin), at all times, for work completed to date, which is enforceable by law. For arrangements that include multiple performance obligations, the transaction price is allocated to the identified performance obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices. For these contracts, the standalone selling prices are based on the Company’s normal pricing practices when sold separately with consideration of market conditions and other factors, including customer demographics and geographic location. The Company measures the revenue to be recognized over time on a contract-by-contract basis, determining the use of either a cost-based input method or output method, depending on whichever best depicts the transfer of control over the life of the performance obligation. Change Orders Changes in the scope of work are common and can result in a change in transaction price, equipment used and payment terms. Change orders are evaluated on a contract-by-contract basis to determine if they should be accounted for as a new contract or as part of the existing contract. Generally, services from change orders are not distinct from the original performance obligation. As a result, the effect that the contract modification has on the contract revenue, and measure of progress, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue when they occur. w. Leases The Company recognizes lease expenses according to the lease standard ASC 842 and related amendments. The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Lease classification is governed by five criteria in ASC 842-10-25-2. If any of these five criteria is met, The Company classifies the lease as a finance lease; otherwise, the Company classifies the lease as an operating lease. When determining lease classification, the Company’s approach in assessing two of the mentioned criteria is: (i) generally 75% or more of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset is a major part of the remaining economic life of that underlying asset; and (ii) generally 90% or more of the fair value of the underlying asset comprises substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. ROU assets represent Orgenesis’ right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of the lease payments. The standard also provides practical expedients for an entity’s ongoing accounting. The Company elected the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases with a term shorter than 12 months. This means that for those leases, the Company does not recognize ROU assets or lease liabilities, including not recognizing ROU assets or lease liabilities for existing short-term leases of those assets in transition, but recognizes lease expenses over the lease term on a straight-line basis. Lease terms will include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that Orgenesis will exercise or not exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. F-17 x. Recently issued accounting pronouncements, not yet adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments—Credit Losses—Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” This guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The guidance will be effective for Smaller Reporting Companies (SRCs, as defined by the SEC) for the fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2023, including interim periods within that year. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-06, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging-Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40)-Accounting For Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity. The ASU simplifies accounting for convertible instruments by removing major separation models required under current GAAP. Consequently, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. The ASU removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception, which will permit more equity contracts to qualify for it. The ASU also simplifies the diluted net income per share calculation in certain areas. The new guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company expects to apply modified retrospective basis adoption of this guidance, which will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation— Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815- 40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (“ASU 2021-04”). The guidance is effective for the Company on January 1, 2022. The Company expects that this guidance, will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08 “Business Combinations (Topic 805), Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”, which requires contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination to be recognized and measured by the acquirer on the acquisition date in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The guidance will result in the acquirer recognizing contract assets and contract liabilities at the same amounts recorded by the acquiree. The guidance should be applied prospectively to acquisitions occurring on or after the effective date. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including in interim periods, for any financial statements that have not yet been issued. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements. In November 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-10 “Government Assistance (Topic 832)”, which requires annual disclosures that increase the transparency of transactions involving government grants, including (1) the types of transactions, (2) the accounting for those transactions, and (3) the effect of those transactions on an entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this update are effective for financial statements issued for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance to determine the impact it may have on its consolidated financial statements. F-18 NOTE 3 – DISCONTINUED OPERATION On February 2, 2020, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement with GPP, Masthercell and the Buyer. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Sellers agreed to sell 100% of the outstanding equity interests of Masthercell to Buyer for an aggregate nominal purchase price of $315 million. The Company has determined that the Masthercell Business meets the criteria to be classified as discontinued operations. On February 10, 2020, the Masthercell Sale was consummated in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement. After accounting for GPP’s liquidation preference and equity stake in Masthercell, as well as SFPI – FPIM’s interest in MaSTherCell, distributions to Masthercell option holders and transaction costs, the Company received approximately $126.7 million at the closing of the Masthercell Sale, of which $7.2 million was used for the repayment of intercompany loans and payables, including $4.6 million of payables to MaSTherCell. Due to the sale of the controlling interest in Masthercell, the Company retrospectively reclassified the assets and liabilities of these entities as assets and liabilities of discontinued operations and included the financial results of these entities as discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Subscription and Shareholders Agreement with Belgian Sovereign Funds Société Fédérale de Participations et d’Investissement (“SFPI(“. On November 15, 2017, the Company, MaSTherCell and SFPI entered into a Subscription and Shareholders Agreement (“SFPI Agreement”) pursuant to which SFPI made an equity investment in MaSTherCell. Due to the embedded redemption feature of the SFPI agreement whose settlement was not at the Company discretion, the Company had accounted for the investment made by GPP as a redeemable non-controlling interest. b. Stock Purchase Agreement and Stockholders’ Agreement with Great Point Partners, LLC (“GPP”) On June 28, 2018, the Company, Masthercell Global GPP, and certain of GPP’s affiliates, entered into a series of definitive strategic agreements intended to finance, strengthen and expand Orgenesis’ CDMO business. Due to the embedded redemption feature of the GPP agreement whose settlement was not at the Company discretion, the Company had accounted for the investment made by GPP as a redeemable non-controlling interest. NOTE 4 – ACQUISITION AND REORGANIZATION Tamir Biotechnology, Inc. On April 7, 2020, the Company entered into the Tamir Purchase Agreement with Tamir, pursuant to which the Company agreed to acquire certain assets and liabilities of Tamir related to the discovery, development and testing of therapeutic products for the treatment of diseases and conditions in humans, including all rights to Ranprinase and use for antiviral therapy. The Tamir Transaction closed on April 23, 2020. As aggregate consideration for the acquisition, the Company paid $2.5 million in cash and issued an aggregate of 3,400,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock to Tamir resulting in a total consideration of $20.2 million based on the Company’s share price at the closing date. $4.5 million of the consideration was attributable to research and development related inventory and most of the remaining amount reflected the cost of intangible assets. The Shares were registered for resale by the Company in November 2020. The Company’s acquired right to Tamir’s intellectual property represents a single identifiable asset sourced from the agreement. Because substantially all (more than 90%) of the fair value of the gross assets acquired are concentrated in a single asset being the right to Tamir’s intellectual property and related assets (“IPR&D”), the Company determined that the acquisition is not considered a business in accordance with ASC 805-10-55-5A. Therefore, the Company accounted the transaction as an asset acquisition. The fair value associated with Tamir’s IPR&D in the amount of $19.5 million was charged to research and development expenses under ASC 730. The remaining amount was attributed to the above-mentioned share in a private company, which is presented in the balance sheet as long term “other assets”. F-20 Included in the purchased assets of Tamir was the assumption by us of a worldwide license to a private company of certain Tamir technologies in the field of treatment, amelioration, mitigation or prevention of diseases or conditions of the eye and its adnexa in return for certain development and sales milestone payments to be paid to Tamir. We also received a less than 10% share interest in said private company in addition to the license fee and right to receive future milestone payments and royalties. Koligo Therapeutics Acquisition On September 26, 2020, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger and Reorganization (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among the Company, Orgenesis Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), Koligo Therapeutics Inc., a Kentucky corporation (“Koligo”), the shareholders of Koligo (collectively, the “Shareholders”), and Long Hill Capital V, LLC (“Long Hill”), solely in its capacity as the representative, agent and attorney-in- fact of the Shareholders. The Merger Agreement provides for the acquisition of Koligo by the Company through the merger of Merger Sub with and into Koligo, with Koligo surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). The acquisition was completed on October 15, 2020 (the “Effective Time”). Koligo was a privately-held US regenerative medicine company. Koligo’s first commercial product is KYSLECEL® (autologous pancreatic islets) for chronic and acute recurrent pancreatitis. Koligo’s 3D-V technology platform incorporates the use of advanced 3D bioprinting techniques and vascular endothelial cells to support development of transformational cell and tissue products for serious diseases. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, the shares of capital stock of Koligo that were issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time were automatically cancelled and converted into the right to receive, subject to customary adjustments, an aggregate of 2,061,713 shares of Company common stock which have been issued to Koligo’s accredited investors (with certain non-accredited investors being paid solely in cash in the amount of approximately $20 thousand). In addition, the Company issued 66,910 shares to Maxim Group LLC for advisory services in connection with the Merger. The share price was $5.26 at the day of the closing. As partial security for the indemnification and purchase price adjustment obligations of Koligo shareholders under the Merger Agreement, $7 thousand in cash and 328,587 shares of Company common stock of the merger consideration otherwise payable in the Merger to the Shareholders were placed in a third party escrow account until April 2022. The aggregate indemnification obligations of the Koligo shareholders under the Merger Agreement is capped at the amounts in escrow, subject to certain limited exceptions. In addition, according to the agreement between the parties, the Company funded an additional cash consideration of $500 thousand (with $100 thousand of such reducing the ultimate consideration payable to Koligo) for the acquisition of the assets of Tissue Genesis, LLC (“Tissue Genesis”) by Koligo that was consummated on October 14, 2020. The Tissue Genesis assets include the entire inventory of Tissue Genesis Icellator® devices, related kits and reagents, a broad patent portfolio to protect the technology, registered trademarks, clinical data, and existing business relationships for commercial and development stage use of the Icellator technology. In connection with the Merger Agreement, the Company, Long Hill and Maxim Group LLC (“Maxim”) entered into a Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement. All of the shares required to be registered by the Company pursuant to the Registration Rights and Lock-Up Agreement were registered by the Company in November 2020. In addition, pursuant to separate Lock-Up Agreements entered into by the Shareholders other than Long Hill with the Company (the “Shareholders Lock-Up Agreement”), such Shareholders agreed that they will not transfer any of their shares received in the Merger except in accordance with the following lock-up release schedule whereby one fifth of such holder’s respective shares will be released from such restriction every six months, starting six months from the closing of the Merger. Each holder’s sales of such shares are subject to a resale limit of its pro rata portion of 10% of the average daily trading volume, allocated to the Shareholders other than Long Hill pro-rata. F-21 The acquisition was accounted in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification Topic 805, “Business Combinations”. The allocation of the consideration transferred in certain cases may be subject to revision based on the final determination of fair values during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The Company includes the results of operations of the business that it has acquired in its consolidated results prospectively from the date of acquisition. Fair Value of Consideration Transferred The following table summarizes the allocation of purchase price to the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the transaction date: (in thousands) Fair value of 8.8% of shared issued * Cash payment Total consideration transferred * Fair value of the consideration is based on the company’s market share price.

The allocation of the purchase price to the net assets acquired and liabilities assumed resulted in the recognition of other intangible assets which comprised of: Kyslecel Technology of $9,340 and IPR&D of 641. Kyslecel Technology has a useful life of 15 years. The useful life of these intangible assets for amortization purposes was determined considering the period of expected cash flows generated by the assets used to measure the fair value of the intangible assets adjusted as appropriate for the entity-specific factors, including legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that may limit the useful life of intangible assets. These intangible assets were estimated using a discounted cash flow method with the application of the multi-period excess earnings method. Under this method, an intangible asset’s fair value is equal to the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to the subject intangible asset after deducting contributory asset charges. An income and expenses forecast were built based upon revenue and expense estimates. b. The primary items that generate goodwill include the value of the synergies between the acquired company and the Company and the acquired assembled workforce, neither of which qualifies for recognition as an intangible asset. The Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. F-22 Pro forma Impact of Business Combination The unaudited pro forma financial results have been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting and are based on the historical financial information of the Company and Koligo. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial results have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that actually would have resulted had the acquisition of Koligo occurred at the beginning of the fiscal year, or of future results of the combined entities. The unaudited pro forma condensed financial information does not reflect any operating efficiencies and expected realization of cost savings or synergies associated with the acquisition. Unaudited supplemental pro forma combined results of operations (in thousands): Revenues Net loss Loss per share: Basic Year ended December 31, 2020 $ $ $ 8,239 318 0.05 Koligo’s related actual results from the date of acquisition to December 31, 2020 resulted in a loss of $513 thousand. Koligo’s Acquisition-related Costs Acquisition-related expenses consist of transaction costs which represent external costs directly related to the acquisition of Koligo and primarily include expenditures for professional fees such as legal, accounting and other directly related incremental costs incurred to close the acquisition by both the Company and Koligo. Acquisition-related expenses for the year ended December 31, 2020 were $682 thousand. These expenses were recorded to selling and general administrative expense in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Extracellular Vesicle (“EV”) Technology License During the third quarter of 2020, the Company purchased IP and related EV technology pursuant to an EV agreement (the “EV agreement”). According to the EV agreement, the Company received all of the rights in the EV technology purchased, in the amount of $500 thousand, which was paid during 2020 and 2021. The $500 thousand was recorded in R&D expenses. In addition, the Company received an exclusive worldwide license to use the EV IP technology for any purpose.

In addition, there were no conversions during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2021. (1) (2) (3) (4) The holders, at their option, may convert the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest under this note into a total of 113,775 shares and 113,775 three-year warrants to purchase up to an additional 113,775 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of $7. As of December 31, 2021, the loans are presented in current maturities of convertible notes in the balance sheet (See Notes 10(f) and 10(g)). The holders, at their option, may convert the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest under this note into a total of 1,363,206 shares and 1,070,176 three-year warrants to purchase up to an additional 1,070,176 shares of the Company’s common stock at a per share exercise price of $7. As of December 31, 2021, $3,750 thousand of the principal amount is included in current maturities of convertible loans in the balance sheet and the remainder in long-term convertible loans. See also Notes 7(b), 7(c), 7(d) and 7(e). The holders, at their option, may convert the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest under this note into a total of 41,416 shares at a per share exercise price of $7. As of December 31, 2021, all the principal amount is included in short-term convertible loans in the balance sheet. See also Notes 7(f). During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company and certain convertible loan holders (including certain credit line investors, see note 7 (e)) agreed to extend the maturity date on loans due during the fourth quarter of 2021 to June 30, 2023. The principal amount extended was $2.25 million excluding the credit line investors. The loan holders may request that the Company repay them on November 21, 2022 (the “Early Redemption Option”). In consideration for the extension, including for the credit line investors, warrants to purchase 926,413 shares of common stock of the Company were issued to the loan holders at an exercise price of $6.24 per share. If the Early Redemption Option is exercised, the warrants will be cancelled. The latest date to exercise the warrants is June 30, 2023. During March 2022 the loan holders waived the early redemption option. The Company concluded that the change in the terms (including for the credit line investors extension) does not constitute a troubled debt restructuring. The Company therefore applied the guidance in ASC 470-50, Modifications and Extinguishments. The accounting treatment is determined by whether terms of the new debt and original debt are substantially different. The new debt and the old debt are considered “substantially different” pursuant to ASC 470-50 when the change in the fair value of the embedded conversion option is at least 10% of the carrying amount of the original debt instrument immediately before the modification or exchange or the value of the cash flows under the terms of the new debt instrument is at least 10% different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original instrument (including the incremental fair value resulting from issuing new warrants held by the lender). If the original and new debt instruments are substantially different, the original debt is derecognized and the new debt should be initially recorded at fair value, with the difference recognized as an extinguishment gain or loss. Based on the analysis, the Company concluded that the change in terms should be accounted for as an extinguishment. The extinguishment resulted in a loss of $1,865 thousand. The Company concluded that, since the warrants cannot be exercised prior to the expiry date of the Early Redemption Option, the warrants are considered embedded in the convertible loan and not freestanding instruments. It also concluded that the prepayment option and the embedded warrants should not be bifurcated from the debt host. In accordance with ASC 470-20-25-13, if a convertible debt instrument is issued at a substantial premium, there is a presumption that such premium represents paid-in capital. Since the fair value of the new convertible loan instrument issued as part of the change in terms are higher than the par value of the loan and the premium is substantial, the Company allocated the premium to paid in capital and the reminder to the convertible loan. The fair value of the conversion feature was estimated using the binomial model. The total fair value of the new instruments is $4.4M (including the credit line agreements). F-26 Following are the main estimates and assumptions that were used for the valuation of the new instruments as of the valuation date: Parameter Notional (USD) Accrued Coupon (USD) Coupon Rate Conversion Ratio (USD) Exercise Price (USD) Stock Price (USD) Expected Term (years) Risk Free Rate Volatility Yield 8% Note 1,500,000 224,603 2% Note 750,000 41,945 Warrants 926,413 - - - 6.24 5.02 1.79 0.20% 72.84% - 2.00% 7.00 - 5.02 1.79 0.20% 72.84% 7.84% 8.00% 7.00 - 5.02 1.79 0.20% 72.84% 7.87% b. During May 2019, the Company entered into a private placement subscription agreement with an investor for $5 million. The lender shall be entitled, at any time prior to or no later than the maturity date, to convert the outstanding amount, into units of (1) shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price per share equal to $7.00 and (2) warrants to purchase an equal number of additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $7.00 per share. The transaction costs were approximately $497 thousand, out of which $97 thousand are stock-based compensation due to issuance of warrants. c. In June 2019, the Company entered into private placement subscription agreements with investors for an aggregate amount of $2 million. The lenders shall be entitled, at any time prior to or no later than the maturity date, to convert the outstanding amount, into units of (1) shares of common stock of the Company at a conversion price per share equal to $7.00 and (2) warrants to purchase an equal number of additional shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $7.00 per share. d. During October 2019, the Company entered into a Private Placement Subscription Agreement and Convertible Credit Line Agreement (collectively, the “Credit Line Agreements”) with four non-U.S. investors (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders furnished to the Company access to an aggregate $5.0 million credit line (which consists of $1.25 million from each Lender) (collectively, the “Credit Line”). Pursuant to the Credit Line Agreements, the Company was entitled to draw down an aggregate of $1 million (consisting of $250 thousand from each Lender) of the Credit Line in each of October 2019 and November 2019. In each of December 2019, January 2020 and February 2020, the Company may draw down an additional aggregate of $1 million (consisting of $250 thousand from each Lender), until the total amount drawn down under the Credit Line reaches an aggregate of $5 million (consisting of $1.25 million from each Lender), subject to the approval of the Lenders. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Line Agreements and the Notes, the total loan amount, and all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, became due and payable on the second anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Maturity Date”). The Maturity Date may be extended by each Lender in its sole discretion and shall be in writing signed by the Company and the Lender. Interest on any amount that has been drawn down under the Credit Line accrues at a per annum rate of eight percent (8%). At any time prior to or on the Maturity Date, by providing written notice to the Company, each of the Lenders is entitled to convert its respective drawdown amounts and all accrued interest, into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a conversion price equal to $7.00 per share. Furthermore, upon the drawdown of $500 thousand from each Lender and, together with the other Lenders, a drawdown of an aggregate of $2 million under the Credit Line, the existing warrants of the Lenders to purchase shares of Common Stock shall be amended to extend their exercise date to June 30, 2021 and the Company will issued to each of the Lenders warrants to purchase 50,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $7.00 per share. The new warrants will be exercisable for three (3) years from the Effective Date. During October 2019, such drawdown was reached and the warrants were issued. During the year ended December 2020, the Company repaid principal amount of $2,400 thousand and a total interest amount of $372 thousand to certain of the credit line investors. F-27 During the year ended December 2021, the company repaid principal amount of $1,000 thousand and a total interest amount of $140 thousand to certain of the credit line investors. See note 7 (a) (4) regarding the extension of certain of the Credit Line Agreements. e. In December 2019, the Company entered into private placement subscription agreements with investors for an aggregate amount of $250 thousand. The lenders shall be entitled, at any time prior to or no later than the maturity date, to convert the outstanding amount, into units of 1 share of common stock of the Company at a conversion price per share equal to $7.00. In addition, the Company granted the investors 183,481 warrants to purchase an equal number of additional shares of Common Stock at a price of $7.00 per share. The fair value of the warrants was $124 thousand using the fair value of the shares on the grant date. During 2021, the Company and the investors agreed to extend the maturity of the loans to December 2022. Based on the analysis, the Company concluded that the change in terms should be accounted for as a modification. f. On January 2, 2020, the Company entered into private placement subscription agreements with investors for an aggregate amount of $250 thousand of convertible loans. The lenders shall be entitled, at any time prior to or no later than the maturity date, to convert the outstanding amount, into shares of Common Stock of the Company at a conversion price per share equal to $7.00. In addition, the Company granted the investors 151,428 warrants to purchase an equal number of additional shares of Common Stock at a price of $7.00 per share. During 2021, the Company and the investors agreed to extend the maturity of the loans to December 2022. Based on the analysis, the Company concluded that the change in terms should be accounted for as a modification. h . On November 2, 2016, the Company entered into unsecured convertible note agreements with accredited or offshore investors for an aggregate amount of NIS 1 million ($280 thousand). The loan bears a monthly interest rate of 2% and mature on May 1, 2017, unless converted earlier. On April 27, 2017 and November 2, 2017, the Company entered into extension agreements through November 2, 2017 and May 2, 2018, respectively. In March 2018, the investor submitted a notice of its intention to convert into shares of the Company’s common stock the principal amount and accrued interest of approximately $383 thousand outstanding. A related party of such investor at the same time, exercised warrants issued in November 2016 to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The exercise price of the warrants and conversion price were fixed at $0.52 per share (pre-reverse stock split implemented by the Company in November 2017). There is a significant disagreement between the Company and these two entities as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to these entities, and they contend that the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to them should not consider the reverse stock split. The Company rejects these contentions in their entirety and, based on the advice of specially retained counsel, believes that these claims are without legal merit and not made in good faith. The Company intends to vigorously defend its interests and pursue other avenues of legal address. Through its counsel, the Company has advised these entities that unless they withdraw their request within a specified period, the Company will cancel the above referenced agreements and these parties’ right to receive any shares of the Company’s Common Stock. In April 2018, the Company withdrew the agreements and deposited the shares in total amount of 107,985 issued under those agreements and the principal amount and accrued interest of the loan in escrow account. The deposit of the principal amount and accrued interest presented as restricted cash in the balance sheet as of December 31, 2021. NOTE 8 – LOANS Terms of Short-term Loans Short term loans Currency Interest Rate 2021 2020 December 31, 1.00% $ (in thousands) - - $ 145 145 USD F-28 NOTE 9 – LEASES The Company leases research and development facilities, equipment and offices under finance and operating leases. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, the Company record the related asset and obligation at the present value of lease payments over the term. Many of the leases include rental escalation clauses, renewal options and/or termination options that are factored into the determination of lease payments when appropriate. The Company’s leases do not provide a readily determinable implicit rate. Therefore, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate to discount the lease payments based on information available at lease commencement. Manufacturing facilities The Company leases space for its manufacturing facilities in Israel under operating lease agreements. The leasing contracts are for a period of 3 – 5 years. Research and Development facilities The Company leases space for its research and development facilities in South Korea under an operating lease agreement.

As of December 31, 2021, 25,000 shares have restrictions on transfer until such services have been provided. NOTE 16 – TAXES a. Corporate taxation in the U.S. The corporate U.S. Federal Income tax rate applicable to the Company and its US subsidiaries is 21%. As of December 31, 2021, the Company has an accumulated tax loss carryforward of approximately $29 million (as of December 31, 2020, approximately $18 million). For U.S. federal income tax purposes, net operating losses (“NOLs”) arising in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) limits the ability to utilize NOL carryforwards to 80% of taxable income in tax years beginning after December 31, 2020. In addition, NOLs arising in tax years ending after December 31, 2017 can be carried forward indefinitely, but carryback is generally prohibited. NOLs generated in tax years beginning before January 1, 2018 will not be subject to the taxable income limitation, and NOLs generated in tax years ending before January 1, 2018 will continue to have a two-year carryback and twenty-year carryforward period. Deferred tax assets for NOLs will need to be measured at the applicable tax rate in effect when the NOL is expected to be utilized. The changes in the carryforward/carryback periods as well as the new limitation on use of NOLs may significantly impact the Company’s valuation allowance assessments for NOLs generated after December 31, 2017. In addition, utilization of the NOLs may be subject to substantial annual limitation under Section 382 of the Code due to an “ownership change” within the meaning of Section 382(g) of the Code.
