Notes to Condensed Financial Statements
(Unaudited)

1.
Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization and Basis of Presentation
ThermoGenesis Corp. (the Company, we or our) designs, develops and commercializes enabling technologies for the processing and storage of fractionated cells and blood components for sale to users and companies involved in the development and administration of cell therapies.

Interim Reporting
The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (U.S. GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rules and regulations and accounting principles applicable for interim periods.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.  Events subsequent to the balance sheet date have been evaluated for inclusion in the accompanying condensed financial statements through the date of issuance.  Operating results for the six month period ended December 31, 2012, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2013.  These unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Revenue Recognition
Revenues from the sale of our products are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred (or services have been rendered), the price is fixed or determinable, and collectability is reasonably assured.  We generally ship products F.O.B. shipping point.  There is no conditional evaluation on any product sold and recognized as revenue.  All foreign sales are denominated in U.S. dollars.  Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet.

Our sales are generally through distributors.  There is no right of return provided for distributors.  For sales of products made to distributors, we consider a number of factors in determining whether revenue is recognized upon transfer of title to the distributor, or when payment is received.  These factors include, but are not limited to, whether the payment terms offered to the distributor are considered to be non-standard, the distributor history of adhering to the terms of its contractual arrangements with us, the level of inventories maintained by the distributor, whether we have a pattern of granting concessions for the benefit of the distributor, and whether there are other conditions that may indicate that the sale to the distributor is not substantive.  We currently recognize revenue primarily on the sell-in method with our distributors.
 
 
Page 6

 
Revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables are divided into units of accounting if certain criteria are met, including whether the deliverable item(s) has (have) value to the customer on a stand-alone basis.  Revenue for each unit of accounting is recognized as the unit of accounting is delivered.  Arrangement consideration is allocated to each unit of accounting based upon the relative estimated selling prices of the separate units of accounting contained within an arrangement containing multiple deliverables.  Estimated selling prices are determined using vendor specific objective evidence of value (VSOE), when available, or an estimate of selling price when VSOE is not available for a given unit of accounting.  Significant inputs for the estimates of the selling price of separate units of accounting include market and pricing trends and a customer’s geographic location.  We account for training and installation, and service agreements as separate units of accounting.

Service revenue generated from contracts for providing maintenance of equipment is amortized over the life of the agreement.  All other service revenue is recognized at the time the service is completed.

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net revenues, while the related costs are included in cost of revenues.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short duration.

Segment Reporting
We operate in a single segment providing medical devices and disposables to hospitals and blood banks throughout the world which utilize the equipment to process blood components.

Income Taxes
We account for income taxes using the liability method.  Under this method, deferred tax assets are based on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that are expected to be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse.  These deferred tax assets include net operating loss carryforwards, research credits and deferred revenue.  The net deferred tax asset has been fully offset by a valuation allowance because of our history of losses.  Although we generated net income for the six months ended December 31, 2012, we anticipate incurring a net loss for the year ended June 30, 2013 and therefore, no income tax expense has been recorded for the quarter ended December 31, 2012.

Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is calculated in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”, which requires using the average number of shares of common stock outstanding.  Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed on the basis of the average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of any common stock equivalents using the “treasury stock method”.
 
 
Page 7


The following table provides a reconciliation of weighted-average shares used to determine basic and diluted earnings per share for the six months ended December 31, 2012.

Basic average common shares outstanding
    16,519,078  
Effect of dilutive options
    576  
Diluted average common shares outstanding
    16,519,654  

Common stock equivalents consist of stock options, warrants and common stock restricted awards.  For the three and six months ended December 31, 2012, 2,622,712 and 2,577,712 common stock equivalents, respectively, were excluded from the computation of earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.  For the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, 3,361,350 common stock equivalents were excluded from the computation of earnings per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)
ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income” establishes standards for the reporting and communication of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in the financial statements.  As of December 31, 2012, the Company has no items of other comprehensive income (loss) and, therefore, has not included a schedule of comprehensive income (loss) in the financial statements.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, “Presentation of Comprehensive Income.” The guidance improves the comparability of financial reporting and facilitates the convergence of U.S. GAAP and IFRS by amending the guidance in ASC 220, “Comprehensive Income”.  Under the amended guidance, an entity has the option to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In both choices, the entity is required to present on the face of the financial statements reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. We adopted this guidance retrospectively for our interim period ending September 30, 2012.  The adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU 2012-02, which is an update to Topic 350, “Intangibles – Goodwill and Other”.  This update provides additional guidance in performing impairment tests for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment.  The update allows an entity to make a qualitative assessment about the likelihood that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired to determine whether it should perform a qualitative impairment test.  ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012.  ASU 2012-02 is not expected to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies
During the three months ended September 30, 2012, we were notified by a third party who believes that the Res-Q system infringes upon certain of its US and European patents.  The Company is in the process of gathering information; however, it has not yet collected enough information to assess the validity of the alleged infringement or estimate any potential financial impact; therefore, it has not made an accrual as of December 31, 2012.

On October 24, 2012, Harvest Technologies Corp. filed a suit against us in the federal court in Delaware claiming the Res-Q 60 System infringes two Harvest patents.  The Company has not been served, and has not ascertained the likelihood of any liability.  Regardless, the Company intends to aggressively defend itself against such action assuming it is served and has not made an accrual as of December 31, 2012.

Warranty
We offer a warranty on all of our products of one to two years, except disposable products which we warrant through their expiration date.  We periodically assess the adequacy of our recorded warranty liabilities and adjust the amounts as necessary.

The warranty liability is included in other current liabilities in the unaudited balance sheet.  The change in the warranty liability for the six months ended December 31, 2012 is summarized in the following table:

Balance at July 1, 2012
  $ 547,000  
Warranties issued during the period
    129,000  
Settlements made during the period
    (166,000 )

    593,946     $ 3.18       1.3     $ 0.00  

The aggregate intrinsic value is calculated as the difference between the exercise price of the underlying awards and the quoted price of the Company’s common stock.  There were no options exercised during the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Common Stock Restricted Awards
The following is a summary of restricted stock activity granted to employees during the six months ended December 31, 2012:

Shares
   
Weighted Average
Grant Date Fair Value
 
Balance at June 30, 2012
    540,000     $ 1.93

Forfeited
    (25,000 )   $ 1.70  
Outstanding at December 31, 2012
    350,003     $ 1.95  

In connection with the vesting of the restricted stock awards, the election was made by some of the employees to satisfy the applicable federal income tax withholding obligation by a net share settlement, pursuant to which the Company withheld 55,754 shares and used the deemed proceeds from those shares to pay the income tax withholding.  The net share settlement is deemed to be a repurchase by the Company of its common stock.

Gain on Sale of Product Line

In June 2010, the Company and Asahi entered into an amendment (the "Amendment") of their Distribution and License Agreement, originally effective March 28, 2005.  Under the terms of the Amendment, Asahi obtained exclusive rights to distribute the CryoSeal System in South Korea, North Korea, Taiwan, the People’s Republic of China, the Philippines, Thailand, Singapore, India and Malaysia. These rights included the exclusive right to market, distribute and sell the processing disposables and Thrombin Reagent for production of thrombin in a stand-alone product.

In connection with the above-described Amendment, the Company and Asahi also entered into an Option Agreement ("Option Agreement") and on June 30, 2012, Asahi exercised the option to purchase certain intangible assets related to this product line, including all associated patents and engineering files for $2,000,000.  In connection with the notice of exercise, the Amendment automatically terminated.  Payment of the $2,000,000 was based upon completion of certain provisions of the Option Agreement.  As such, the Company recognized the gain on sale upon completion of those provisions, which occurred in July 2012.  The $2,000,000 payment was received in August 2012.

6. 
Assets Held for Sale

On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement for certain of the assets, rights and properties of the ThermoLine product line for $500,000.  The $500,000 was received on December 31, 2012 and is included in other current liabilities on the balance sheet.  The Company will recognize the gain on sale upon delivery of the assets which is expected to occur during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.  The following table sets forth the assets held for sale of the ThermoLine product line as of December 31, 2012:

This report contains forward-looking statements.  The forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements contained herein.  When used in this report, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.  Our actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from the results expressed in, or implied by these forward-looking statements.  We wish to caution readers of the important factors, among others, that in some cases have affected, and in the future could affect our actual results and could cause actual results for fiscal year 2013 and beyond, to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, the Company.  These factors include without limitation, the ability to obtain capital and other financing in the amounts and at the times needed to complete clinical trials and product marketing for new products, market acceptance of new products, regulatory approval and time frames for such approval of new products and new claims for existing products, realization of forecasted income and expenses, initiatives by competitors, price pressures, failure to meet FDA regulations governing our products and operations and recalls associated with such regulations, the risks associated with initiating manufacturing for new products, and the risk factors listed from time to time in our SEC reports, including, in particular, the factors and discussion in our Form 10-K for fiscal year 2012.

Overview
ThermoGenesis designs, develops and commercializes devices and disposable tools for use by customers to automate  the processing, separation and storage of certain cells, and stem cell fractions sourced from cord blood, peripheral blood and bone marrow.  These cells can be used for research and development or the practice of regenerative medicine depending upon the application and the specific regulatory approval granted.  The Company was founded in 1986 and is located in Rancho Cordova, California.  Our growth strategy is to expand our offerings in the development of regenerative medicine tools and partner with other pioneers in the stem cell arena to accelerate our clinical evaluations and our worldwide penetration in this market.

Our Products
Cord Blood
 
·
The AXP System is a medical device with an accompanying disposable bag set that isolates and retrieves stem cells from umbilical cord blood.  The AXP System provides cord blood banks with an automated method to separate and capture adult stem cells which reduces the overall processing and labor costs with a reduced risk of contamination under cGMP conditions.  The AXP System retains over 97% of the mononuclear cells (“MNCs”).  High MNC recovery has significant clinical importance to patient transplant survival rates.  Self-powered and microprocessor-controlled, the AXP device contains flow control optical sensors that achieve precise separation of the cord blood fractions.

In August 2012, we entered into a Product Purchase and International Distributor Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Golden Meditech Holdings Limited (“Golden Meditech”).  Under the terms of the Agreement, Golden Meditech obtained the exclusive, subject to existing distributors and customers, rights to develop an installed base for the Company’s AXP AutoXpress (AXP) System in specified countries.  This right includes the right to distribute AXP Disposable Blood Processing Sets and use rights to the AXP AutoXpress (AXP) System, and other accessories used for the processing of stem cells from cord blood.  Golden Meditech has rights in the People’s Republic of China (excluding Hong Kong and Taiwan), India, Singapore, Indonesia, and the Philippines and may begin selling once relevant approval has been obtained in each respective country.  Additionally, Golden Meditech is subject to certain annual minimum purchase commitments in order to maintain their exclusive rights.  The term of the Agreement is for five years with one year renewal options by mutual agreement.

On February 6, 2013, the Company entered into an amendment (“the Amendment”) to the License and Escrow Agreement, effective June 15, 2010 with CBR Systems, Inc. ("CBR").  The parties agreed to reduce the corresponding financial covenant requirements to provide the Company greater flexibility to pursue its strategic initiatives in the near term.  Under the Amendment, financial covenant revisions include  (a) if a rolling three month average cash flow is negative at any month-end, such cash flow amount multiplied by negative six (versus negative nine previously) must not exceed the balance of cash and short-term investments, or (b) cash balance and short-term investments must be at least $4 million at the end of any given month through June 30, 2013.  Thereafter, the minimum cash balance and short-term investments reverts back to $6 million at any month end, or (c) the Company fails to meet a quick ratio of 1.75 to 1 (versus 2 to 1) at the end of any given month.

 
·
The BioArchive System is a robotic cryogenic medical device used to cryopreserve and archive stem cells for future transplant and treatment.  Launched in fiscal 1998, our BioArchive Systems have been purchased by over 110 umbilical cord blood banks in over 35 countries to archive, cryopreserve and store stem cell preparations extracted from human placentas and umbilical cords for future use.

Bone Marrow
 
·
The Res-Q 60 BMC, is a rapid, reliable, and easy to use product for cell processing.  The product is a centrifuge-based disposable device designed for the isolation and extraction of specific stem cell populations from bone marrow.  The product was launched in 2009.  The key advantages of the Res-Q 60 BMC include (a) delivering a high number of target cells from a small sample of bone marrow, and (b) providing a disposable that is highly portable and packaged for the sterile field.  These features allow users to process bone marrow to isolate and capture certain cells in 15 minutes.  However, the safety and effectiveness of this device for in vivo use has not been established.

 
·
The MarrowXpress® or MXP System, a derivative product of the AXP and its accompanying disposable bag set, isolates and concentrates stem cells from bone marrow.  The product is an automated, closed, sterile system that volume-reduces blood from bone marrow to a user-defined volume in 30 minutes, while retaining over 90% of the MNCs, a clinically important cell fraction. Self-powered and microprocessor-controlled, the MXP System contains flow control optical sensors that achieve precise separation.  In June 2008, we received the CE-Mark, enabling commercial sales in Europe.  In July 2008, we received authorization from the FDA to begin marketing the MXP as a Class I device in the U.S. for the preparation of cell concentrate from bone marrow.  However, the safety and effectiveness of this device for in vivo use has not been established.

Effective December 25, 2012, the International Distributor Agreement with Nanshan Memorial Medical Institute (“Nanshan”) was terminated.  Under the Agreement, Nanshan had the rights to sell, distribute, and service the MXP and Res-Q product lines in the People’s Republic of China and Hong Kong and could earn grants of restricted common stock of the Company in an amount up to 806,000 shares upon the achievement of certain milestones.  As the distribution agreement has terminated, Nanshan is no longer eligible to earn additional shares of common stock.

PRP
 
·
The Res-Q 60 PRP is designed to be used for the safe and rapid preparation of autologous PRP from a small sample of blood at the point of care. The product allows PRP to be mixed with autograft and/or allograft bone prior to application to a bony defect in the body.  The Res-Q 60 PRP received FDA 510(k) clearance in June of 2011.

On December 31, 2012, the Company entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement for certain of the assets, rights and properties of the ThermoLine product line for $500,000.  The $500,000 was received on December 31, 2012 and is included in other current liabilities on the balance sheet.  The Company will recognize the gain on sale upon delivery of the assets which is expected to occur during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.

The following is management’s discussion and analysis of certain significant factors which have affected our financial condition and results of operations during the period included in the accompanying financial statements.

Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s discussion and analysis of its financial condition and results of operations is based upon the condensed financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  The preparation of these condensed financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities.  On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, warranties, contingencies and litigation.  We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.  For a full discussion of our accounting estimates and assumptions that we have identified as critical in the preparation of our condensed financial statements, please refer to our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2012 as Compared to the Three Months Ended December 31, 2011

Net Revenues:
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2012, were $4,802,000 compared to $4,775,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, an increase of $27,000.  BioArchive device revenues increased $355,000 as there were two more BioArchive devices sold during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2011.  AXP disposable revenues increased primarily due to the initial shipment to Golden Meditech.  These increases were offset by declines in BioArchive, Manual and CryoSeal disposables.  The sale of the CryoSeal product line to Asahi was completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Gross Profit:
The Company’s gross profit was $1,976,000 or 41% of net revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $1,704,000 or 36% of net revenues for the corresponding fiscal 2012 period.  The increase in gross profit is primarily due to decreased overhead spending in freight, personnel and recruiting costs.  Additionally, we had lower service costs due to implementing a remote diagnostic servicing program for AXP devices.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,820,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $1,991,000 for the comparable fiscal 2012 period, a decrease of $171,000 or 9%.  The decrease is primarily due to lower personnel costs and stock compensation as a result of the restructuring that occurred in January 2012.

Research and Development Expenses:
Included in this line item are Engineering, Regulatory Affairs, Scientific and Clinical Affairs.

Research and development expenses were $714,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $1,037,000 for the corresponding fiscal 2012 period, a decrease of $323,000 or 31%.  The decrease is due to lower personnel costs primarily as a result of the January 2012 restructuring and lower costs for clinical studies. We do not anticipate this trend to continue.

Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended December 31, 2012 as Compared to the Six Months Ended December 31, 2011

Net Revenues:
Revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2012, were $8,924,000 compared to $9,634,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011, a decrease of $710,000 or 7%.  The decrease is primarily due to lower revenues from disposables – AXP, BioArchive, Manual and CryoSeal.  We are seeing fewer cord blood units stored in the current period due to continued economic pressures.  However, our global market share is consistent year over year, and in certain markets such as Asia we are growing our share.  In September 2012 we moved to the sell-thru method of revenue recognition for our distributor in Brazil which impacted our BioArchive, Manual and AXP disposable revenues by approximately $390,000. The sale of the CryoSeal product line to Asahi was completed in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.
 
 
The following represents the Company’s revenues for disposables for the six months ended:

Gross Profit:
The Company’s gross profit was $3,602,000 or 40% of net revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $3,703,000 or 38% of net revenues for the corresponding fiscal 2012 period.  The increase in the gross profit percentage is primarily due to higher average selling prices on our BioArchive devices in the six months ended December 31, 2012, decreased overhead spending and lower service costs; offset by an increase in warranty costs associated with the BioArchive device.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses:
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $3,616,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $4,307,000 for the comparable fiscal 2012 period, a decrease of $691,000 or 16%.  The decrease is primarily due to lower personnel costs and stock compensation as a result of the restructuring that occurred in January 2012.

Research and Development Expenses:
Included in this line item are Engineering, Regulatory Affairs, Scientific and Clinical Affairs.

Research and development expenses were $1,552,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2012, compared to $1,960,000 for the corresponding fiscal 2012 period, a decrease of $408,000 or 21%.  The decrease is due to lower personnel costs primarily as a result of the January 2012 restructuring and lower costs for clinical studies, offset by an increase in consulting expenses for quality assurance and regulatory projects.

Gain on Sale of Product Line:
During the six months ended December 31, 2012, the Company recognized $2,000,000 on the sale of certain intangible assets related to the CryoSeal product line, including all associated patents and engineering files.

Impact of Inflation
Our operations have not been materially affected by inflation or changing prices because most contracts are short term in nature.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of $7,516,000 and working capital of $14,656,000.  This compares to cash and cash equivalents of $7,879,000 and working capital of $14,034,000 at June 30, 2012.  During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, we received $2,000,000 in proceeds from the sale of the CryoSeal product line and during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 we received $500,000 for the purchase of the ThermoLine assets.  In addition to product revenues, the Company has primarily financed operations through the private and public placement of equity securities and has raised approximately $112,000,000, net of expenses, through common and preferred stock financings and option and warrant exercises.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended December 31, 2012 was $2,495,000 compared to $3,099,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011.  Accounts payable utilized cash of $1,087,000 in part due to paying off some large vendors.  Accounts receivable utilized $797,000 due to higher revenues and shipments occurring later to some large customers during the quarter ended December 31, 2012 versus the quarter ended June 30, 2012.

We believe our currently available cash and cash equivalents and cash generated from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our operating and working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months.  However, we may be required to seek additional capital during the next twelve months if we are not able to maintain compliance with, or obtain forbearance of, our financial covenants.  Effective February 6, 2013, we amended our Technology License and Escrow Agreement with Cord Blood Registry Systems, Inc. The amendment alters the associated financial covenants including a minimum cash and short-term investments balance of not less than $4,000,000 at any month end through June 30, 2013.  Thereafter, it reverts back to $6,000,000 at any month end.

Further, our ability to fund our longer-term cash needs is subject to various risks, many of which are beyond our control.  Further, with current performance trends, we intend to focus on potential near term business opportunities, which may include possible product line acquisitions, technology or strategic partner arrangements, any of which may have potential for near term revenue growth.  In addition, should we change distributors and take on the responsibility for maintaining significant product inventory levels for certain end user customers, we may need to raise additional funding.  Should we require additional funding, such as additional capital investments, we may need to raise the required additional funds through bank borrowings or public or private sales of debt or equity securities.  We cannot assure that such funding will be available in needed quantities or on terms favorable to us, if at all.  See Part I Item 1A – Risk Factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.  In late 2012, we implemented a plan whereby directors may elect to take all or a portion of their fees in stock, rather than cash, in an effort to preserve cash.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2012, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

Backlog
Our cancelable backlog at December 31, 2012 was $714,000.  Our backlog consists of product orders for which a customer purchase order has been received and is scheduled for shipment within the next twelve months. Orders are subject to cancellation or rescheduling by the customer, sometimes with a cancellation charge.  Due to timing of order placement, product lead times, changes in product delivery schedules and cancellations, and because sales will often reflect orders shipped in the same quarter received, our backlog at any particular date is not necessarily indicative of sales for any succeeding period.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 and are not required to provide information under this item.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer along with our Chief Financial Officer (in this case the same person), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of the end of our fiscal quarter pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer/Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.  We believe that a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the control system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within any company have been detected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item1.
Legal Proceedings.
In the normal course of operations, we may have disagreements or disputes with distributors, vendors or employees.  Such potential disputes are seen by management as a normal part of business.

On October 24, 2012, Harvest Technologies Corp. filed suit against us in the case Harvest Technologies Corp. v. ThermoGenesis Corp., 12-cv-01354, U.S. District Court, District of Delaware (Wilmington) claiming our Res-Q 60 System infringes certain Harvest patents.  The Company has not been served, and is in the process of gathering information.  The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against such action, assuming it is served.

Item 1A.
Risk Factors.
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.  There have been no material changes from those risk factors.  The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks we face.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known or knowable to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

If the Price of our Common Stock Does Not Meet the Requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market Stock Exchange, Our Shares may be Delisted.  Our Ability to Publicly or Privately Sell Equity Securities and the Liquidity of Our Common Stock Could be Adversely Affected if We Are Delisted.  The listing standards of NASDAQ provide, among other things, that a company may be delisted if the bid price of its stock drops below $1.00 for a period of 30 consecutive business days.  The bid price of our stock has been below $1.00 for a period of greater than 30 consecutive business days.  As such, on November 15, 2012, we received a notice from the NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Department informing us that we must regain compliance with listing requirements or face delisting. In order to regain compliance, at any time before May 14, 2013, the bid price of our common stock must close at a price of at least $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.  The notice states that NASDAQ will provide us with written notification when our common stock has regained compliance.

If compliance cannot be demonstrated by May 14, 2013, then NASDAQ will decide whether we meet all applicable standards for initial listing on the Capital Market (except the bid price requirement) based on our most recent public filings and market information.  The notice states that, if we meet these standards, then we will be granted an additional 180 calendar day compliance period.  NASDAQ can deny the extension if it does not appear to them that it is possible for us to cure the deficiency.  Delisting from NASDAQ could adversely affect our ability to raise additional financing through the public or private sale of equity securities, would significantly affect the ability of investors to trade our securities and would negatively affect the value and liquidity of our common stock.  Delisting could also have other negative results, including the potential loss of confidence by employees, the loss of institutional investor interest and fewer business development opportunities..
