TENGION, INC.
(A Development-Stage Company)
 
(unaudited)

 
(1)  
Organization and Nature of Operations
 
Tengion, Inc. (the Company) was incorporated in Delaware on July 10, 2003. The Company is a regenerative medicine company focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and commercializing a range of neo-organs, or products composed of living cells, with or without synthetic or natural materials, implanted or injected into the body to engraft into, regenerate, or replace a damaged tissue or organ.  Using its Organ Regeneration Platform, the Company creates these neo-organs using a patient’s own cells, or autologous cells.  The Company believes its proprietary product candidates harness the intrinsic regenerative pathways of the body to regenerate a range of native-like organs and tissues. The Company’s product candidates are intended to delay or eliminate the need for chronic disease therapies, organ transplantation, and the administration of anti-rejection medications.  In addition, the Company’s neo-organs are designed to replace the need to substitute other tissues of the body for a purpose to which they are poorly suited.
 
Building on its clinical and preclinical experience, the Company is initially leveraging its Organ Regeneration Platform to develop its Neo-Urinary Conduit for bladder cancer patients who are in need of a urinary diversion and its Neo-Kidney Augment for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease. The Company operates as a single business segment. Operations of the Company are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, including, among others: uncertainty of product candidate development; technological uncertainty; dependence on collaborative partners; uncertainty regarding patents and proprietary rights; comprehensive government regulations; having no commercial manufacturing experience, marketing or sales capability or experience; and dependence on key personnel.
 
(2)  
Management’s Plans to Continue as a Going Concern
 
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The Company has incurred losses since inception and has a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $264.9 million as of June 30, 2013, including $48.4 million of cumulative accretion on redeemable convertible preferred stock through April 2010.  The Company anticipates incurring additional losses until such time, if ever, that it can generate significant sales of its therapeutic product candidates currently in development or enters into cash flow positive business development transactions. Based upon our current expected level of operating expenditures and debt repayment, and assuming we are not required to settle any outstanding warrants in cash or redeem, or pay cash interest on, any of our convertible notes, we expect to be able to fund operations at least through 2014.
 
On June 28, 2013, we completed a private placement of an aggregate principal amount of $18.6 million of senior secured convertible notes and warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 81 million shares of common stock.  Also on June 28, 2013, we entered into a Collaboration and Option Agreement with Celgene Corporation (Celgene) and Celgene European Investment Company LLC (together with Celgene, the Celgene Companies), pursuant to which the Celgene Companies paid us $15.0 million in exchange for (i) five-year warrants to purchase 7,425,743 shares of common stock and ten-year warrants to purchase 14,851,485 shares of common stock, (ii) a right of first negotiation to our Neo-Kidney Augment Program; and (iii) entering into the Collaboration and Option Agreement.  As of June 30, 2013, we recorded receivables totaling $20.6 million, of which $15.0 million related to the Celgene Collaboration and Option Agreement and $5.6 million related to the private placement.  All of the $20.6 million was received in July 2013.

(3)  
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Net Loss Per Share
 
Basic and diluted net loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. For all periods presented, the outstanding shares of unvested restricted stock as well as the number of common shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and conversion of notes payable have been excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Therefore, the weighted-average shares used to calculate both basic and dilutive loss per share are the same.
 
The following potentially dilutive securities have been excluded from the computations of diluted weighted-average shares outstanding as they would be anti-dilutive:

Financial Instruments
 
The fair value guidance requires fair value measurements be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
 
·  
Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
 
·  
Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability;
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 7 -

 
 
 
·  
Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
 
The following fair value hierarchy table presents information about each major category of the Company’s financial assets and liability measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013 (in thousands).

Lease liability
 
The Company entered into an agreement in February 2006 to lease warehouse space effective March 1, 2011, at which time the Company determined it was not likely to utilize the space during the five-year lease term.  Therefore, the Company recorded a liability as of March 1, 2011, the cease-use date, for the fair value of its obligations under the lease.  The most significant assumptions used in determining the amount of the estimated lease liability are the potential sublease revenues and the credit-adjusted risk-free rate utilized to discount the estimated future cash flows.
 
In connection with the 2011 restructuring, the Company determined it was not likely to utilize substantially all of the leased office and manufacturing space in its East Norriton, Pennsylvania facility during the remainder of the lease term.  Therefore, the Company recorded a liability as of November 30, 2011, the cease-use date, for the fair value of its obligations under the lease.

The Company recorded interest expense of $0.2 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense of $0.3 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Included in interest expense in for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is $0.6 million of issuance costs related to the 2013 Financing, $1.7 million in amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discount on the 2012 Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Working Capital Note and $1.0 million of interest expense on the 2012 Senior Secured Convertible Notes and Working Capital Note.

Senior Secured Convertible Notes
 
2013 Financing

On June 28, 2013, the Company completed a private placement (the 2013 Financing) of an aggregate principal amount of $18,576,000 of Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the 2013 Convertible Notes) along with warrants to the holders of the Convertible Notes (2013 Warrants) to purchase 26,921,741 shares of our common stock exercisable for a period of five years from the date of their issuance and warrants to purchase 53,843,479 shares of our common stock exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of their issuance. The 2013 Convertible Notes and 2013 Warrants were issued pursuant to the exercise of a call option granted in 2012 to holders of the 2012 Convertible Notes and as further described below. The initial conversion price of the 2013 Convertible Notes is $0.69 per share and the initial exercise price of the 2013 Warrants is $0.69 per share.  The Company recorded an embedded derivative liability for the Conversion Option (the Conversion Option-2013 Notes).  The Conversion Option-2013 Notes is presented on the Balance Sheet, net of long-term debt. See Note 11 for further discussion of this embedded derivative liability.
 
The 2013 Convertible Notes mature on June 30, 2016 and bear interest at 10% per annum, which is payable quarterly beginning on October 1, 2013. The 2013 Convertible Notes are convertible into 26,921,740 shares of common stock at a current conversion price of $0.69 per share. We may, at our option, pay interest by the issuance of freely tradable shares of common stock (or, in certain circumstances, warrants to purchase shares of common stock), provided that an event of default has not occurred and we have publicly disclosed all material information about the Company. If we elect to pay interest on the 2013 Convertible Notes through the issuance of shares of our common stock, the number of shares that would be issued is calculated by dividing the amount of the interest payment by the lesser of: (1) the volume weighted average price (VWAP) period for our common stock for the twenty trading days prior to the date the interest payment is due or (2) the closing bid price for our common stock as of the last trading day of the VWAP period. All shares of common stock issuable to the holders in lieu of interest payments will be allocated pro rata among the holders based on the outstanding principal amount of the 2013 Convertible Notes.

2012 Financing
 
On October 2, 2012, the Company completed a private placement of an aggregate principal amount of $15.0 million of Senior Secured Convertible Notes (the 2012 Convertible Notes) along with warrants to the holders of the Convertible Notes (2012 Warrants) to purchase approximately 51.1 million shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.75 per share.  The 2012 Convertible Notes mature on October 2, 2015 and bear interest at 10% per annum.  The Company recorded an embedded derivative liability for the Conversion Option (the Conversion Option-2012 Notes).  The Conversion Option-2012 Notes is presented on the Balance Sheet, net of long-term debt. See Note 11 for further discussion of this embedded derivative liability.

At the time of the issuance of the 2012 Convertible Notes, the Company also granted the holders of the 2012 Convertible Notes the right to require the Company to sell to such holders up to an additional $20 million in securities on the same terms as the 2012 Convertible Notes and 2012 Warrants (the Call Option) (collectively with the 2012 Convertible Notes and 2012 Warrants, the 2012 Financing).  The Company recorded a derivative liability for the Call Option.  The Call Option was exercised by the holders of the 2012 Convertible Notes on June 28, 2013 before the expiration date of June 30, 2013.  See Note 11 for further discussion of this derivative liability.
 
On December 31, 2012, January 30, 2013, and February 14, 2013, the Company entered into amendment agreements with the holders of the 2012 Convertible Notes. Pursuant to these amendments, the holders agreed to extend the interest payments that were due to them on January 1, 2013 to February 15, 2013. The aggregate amount of the interest payment due on January 1, 2013 was $0.4 million, which amount continued to accrue interest at the rate of 10% per annum.  On February 14, 2013, the Company and the investors entered into amendments to the terms of the 2012 Financing which gave the Company the option to pay interest payments on the Notes with restricted common stock.
 
On April 6, 2013, the conversion price of the 2012 Convertible Notes was adjusted to $0.69 per share, the exercise price of the 2012 Warrants was adjusted to $0.69 per share, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the 2012 Warrants was increased to 57,438,408 shares.  The Registration Statement filed by the Company with the SEC to register the number of 2012 Warrant shares permitted under the limitations imposed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) became effective at 4:00 p.m. on March 28, 2013.  The effectiveness of the Registration Statement triggered an adjustment of the exercise price of the 2012 Warrants and the conversion price of the 2012 Convertible Notes. The VWAP of the Company’s common stock from April 1, 2013 through April 5, 2013, the five trading days after the Registration Statement became effective (the Post-Registration Period), was $0.69, which was lower than the exercise price or conversion price for the 2012 Warrants and 2012 Convertible Notes in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the Post-Registration Period.  Pursuant to the terms of the 2012 Convertible Notes and 2012 Warrants, the exercise price and conversion price for the 2012 Warrants and 2012 Convertible Notes were adjusted to the value of the VWAP for the Post-Registration Period, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the 2012 Warrants was proportionately increased.

Capital Structure
 
Common Stock
 
Since inception, the Company has sold common stock to certain officers, directors, employees, consultants, and Scientific Advisory Board members.  As of June 30, 2013, the Company is authorized to issue 750,000,000 shares of common stock.  Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share held.  The Company will, at all times, reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of common stock sufficient shares to effect the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants.
 
Registration Rights Agreements

In connection with the 2013 Financing and the Celgene Collaboration and Option Agreement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the 2013 Registration Rights Agreement) with the 2013 investors and Celgene.  The 2013 Registration Rights Agreement provides that, within 30 days of the closing of the 2013 Financing, we will file a “resale” registration statement (the Registration Statement) covering up to the maximum number of shares underlying the 2013 Notes, 2013 Warrants and the Celgene Warrants that we are able to register pursuant to applicable SEC limitations.  We filed the Registration Statement on July 26, 2013 and it is currently under review by the SEC.  Under the terms of the 2013 Registration Rights Agreement, we are obligated to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement until all securities therein are sold or otherwise can be sold without registration and without any restrictions.

Preferred Stock
 
The Company is authorized to issue 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges, and restrictions thereof.  These rights, preferences and privileges could include dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption, liquidation preferences, sinking fund terms and the number of shares constituting any series or the designation of such series, any or all of which may be greater than the rights of common stock.  The issuance of the Company’s preferred stock could adversely affect the voting power of holders of common stock and the likelihood that such holders will receive dividend payments and payments upon liquidation.  In addition, the issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of the Company or other corporate action.  There are no shares issued or outstanding as of June 30, 2013.
 
2013 Agreements with Celgene

On June 28, 2013, the Company entered into a Collaboration and Option Agreement with the Celgene Companies, pursuant to which the Celgene Companies paid $15 million in exchange for (i) five-year warrants to purchase 7,425,743 shares of common stock and ten-year warrants to purchase 14,851,485 shares of common stock, (ii) a Right of First Negotiation Agreement (ROFN Agreement) to the Company’s Neo-Kidney Augment Program; and (iii) entering into the Collaboration and Option Agreement in which the Company agreed to limit development of its Esophagus Program to activities under the Collaboration and Option Agreement and in which the Company also granted to Celgene the option to acquire the rights to its Esophagus Program for 125% of the value of the program, as determined by independent valuation firms (the Option).  The Esophagus Program is the Company’s autologous neo-esophageal implants, which use certain of its intellectual property and a scientific platform relating to the potential creation of new human tissues and organs using autologous cells. The Collaboration and Option Agreement will expire June 28, 2020, unless earlier terminated in connection with a change of control transaction.
 
The ROFN Agreement granted Celgene a right of first negotiation to the license, sale, assignment, transfer or other disposition by the Company of any material portion of intellectual property (including patents and trade secrets) or other assets related to the Neo-Kidney Augment program.  In the event of a change in control of the Company, the ROFN Agreement and all of Celgene’s rights pursuant thereto shall automatically terminate in all respects and be of no further force and effect.

The Company estimated the fair value of the warrants issued to Celgene to be $3.4 million as of the date of issuance and recorded a warrant liability in that amount.  See Note 12 for further discussion of the warrant liability. The Company determined that the Collaboration and Option Agreement did not represent a revenue arrangement because the Company has no substantive performance obligations under the agreement.  The Company evaluated the terms of the Option and determined that it had de minimis value because the option exercise price is at a 25% premium to the fair value of the rights as determined by independent valuation firms at the time of exercise of the option.  The Company evaluated the terms of the ROFN Agreement and determined it had de minimis value because the rights of Celgene are limited to an exclusive negotiating period of a short duration.  As a result, none of the proceeds received from Celgene were allocated to the Option or the ROFN Agreement.  Therefore, given the factors noted above as well as Celgene’s ownership position in the Company prior to execution of the Collaboration and Option Agreement and ROFN Agreement, all of the residual proceeds of $11.6 million were credited to Additional Paid-in Capital, net of transaction fees.  In accordance with the terms of the Collaboration and Option Agreement, Celgene paid the $15 million within five days of June 28, 2013, which was the effective date of the Collaboration and Option Agreement.  Therefore, the Company recorded a receivable of $15 million at June 30, 2013 related to the Collaboration and Option Agreement.

Embedded Derivative Conversion Options and Call Option Derivative Liability
 
The Company accounts for Conversion Options on the 2012 and 2013 Convertible Notes in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ACS 815). Under this accounting guidance, the Company is required to bifurcate the embedded derivative from the host instrument and account for it as a derivative financial instrument.  These Conversion Options are classified with debt on the balance sheet and remeasured to fair value at each reporting date, with any changes in fair value being recorded on the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 12 -

 

 
The Company also accounts for the Call Option issued in connection with the 2012 Financing in accordance with ASC 815, as this instrument is considered a free-standing financial instrument that meets the criteria of a derivative under the guidance.  The change in fair value as of each reporting date was recorded on the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.  On June 28, 2013, $18,576,000 of the Call Option was exercised in connection with the 2013 Financing.  The remaining $1,424,000 unexercised portion of the Call Option expired on June 30, 2013.
 
On October 2, 2012, the Company issued the 2012 Convertible Notes as discussed in Note 9 and classified the fair value of the Conversion Option and Call Option as a derivative liability. The Company will continue to re-measure their fair values at each reporting date, with any changes in fair value being recorded on the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
 
The fair value of the Conversion Options and Call Option as of December 31, 2012, the Conversion Options and as of June 30, 2013, was determined using a risk-neutral framework within a Monte Carlo analysis. The valuation of the Conversion Options, and Call Option is subjective and is affected by changes in inputs to the valuation model including the assumptions regarding the aggregate value of the Company’s debt and equity instruments; assumptions regarding the expected amounts and dates of future debt and equity financing activities; assumptions regarding the likelihood and timing of Fundamental Transactions or Major Transactions (as defined in the agreements); the historical and prospective volatility in the value of the company’s debt and equity instruments; risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields; and the Company’s dividend yield. In performing the valuation of the Conversion Options and Call Option, the Company believed the common stock price had not fully adjusted for the potential future dilution from this private placement. Therefore, the Company used an implied enterprise value considering potential future values for the Company contingent on the outcome of its research programs in conjunction with a Monte Carlo analysis to estimate the range of possible outcomes within each scenario and to allocate value to the securities in accordance with the terms of the agreements. The valuation resulted in a model-derived common stock value of $0.04 per share and $0.11 per share as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively, primarily due to the preference rights of the debt holders and the anti-dilution and net cash settlement features of warrants issued in 2011, 2012, and 2013. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate.

The following table summarizes the calculated aggregate fair values using a risk-neutral framework within a Monte Carlo analysis of the Conversion Option and the Call Option as of the dates indicated along with assumptions utilized in each calculation.

Warrants
 
The Company accounts for stock warrants as either equity instruments or derivative liabilities depending on the specific terms of the warrant agreement.  Stock warrants are accounted for as derivative liabilities if the stock warrants allow for cash settlement or provide for modification of the warrant exercise price in the event that subsequent sales of common stock are at a lower price per share than the then-current warrant exercise price.  The Company classifies derivative warrant liabilities on the balance sheet as a current liability, which is revalued at each balance sheet date subsequent to the initial issuance of the stock warrant.

Effective April 6, 2013, the 2011 Warrants were adjusted downward by 8.0% from $1.10 to $1.01. The effectiveness of the Registration Statement on March 28, 2013 triggered an adjustment of the exercise price of the 2011 Warrants.  Exercise price at December 31, 2012 was $1.10.

Liability-classified Warrants
 
2011 Warrants

In March 2011, the Company issued warrants (2011 Warrants) to purchase 1,046,102 shares of common stock in connection with a private placement transaction.  Each warrant was exercisable in whole or in part at any time until March 4, 2016 at a per share exercise price of $28.80, subject to certain adjustments as specified in the warrant agreement.  The Company valued the warrants as derivative financial instruments as of the date of issuance (March 4, 2011) and will continue to do so at each reporting date, with any changes in fair value being recorded on the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.  On December 31, 2012, the Company commenced an offer to the holders of 2011 Warrants to amend and restate the 2011 Warrants.  Following execution by the holders of the Exchange Agreements and receipt of the Amended and Restated 2011 Warrants, such holders had the right in the aggregate to purchase 27,388,851 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $1.10. Effective April 6, 2013, the 2011 Warrants were adjusted downward by 8.0% from $1.10 to $1.01.

The warrants contain provisions that require the modification of the exercise price and shares to be issued under certain circumstances, including in the event the Company completes subsequent equity financings at a price per share lower than the then-current warrant exercise price.  In addition, the warrants contain a net cash settlement provision under which the warrant holders may require the Company to purchase the warrants in exchange for a cash payment following the announcement of specified events defined as Fundamental Transactions involving the Company (e.g., merger, sale of all or substantially all assets, tender offer, or share exchange).  The net cash settlement provision requires use of the Black-Scholes model in calculating the cash payment value in the event of a Fundamental Transaction.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
- 14 -

 

 
The fair value of the 2011 Warrants as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013 was determined using a risk-neutral framework within a Monte Carlo analysis to model the impact of potential modifications to the warrant exercise price and to include the probability of a Fundamental Transaction into the calculation of fair value. The valuation of warrants is subjective and is affected by changes in inputs to the valuation model including the price per share of the Company’s common stock; assumptions regarding the expected amounts and dates of future debt and equity financing activities; assumptions regarding the likelihood and timing of Fundamental Transactions and, the historical volatility of the stock prices of the Company’s common stock; risk-free rates based on U.S. Treasury security yields; and the Company’s dividend yield.

In connection with the valuation performed on the 2011 Warrants, the Company believed the common stock price had not fully adjusted for the potential future dilution from the 2012 and 2013 Financings due to the trading restrictions on the unregistered shares of common stock issued and issuable from the conversion of debt and warrants, the uncertainty of the Company's outcome on its research programs, and the anti-dilution adjustment features of the warrants. Therefore, the Company used an implied enterprise value considering potential future values for the Company contingent on the outcome of its research programs in conjunction with a Monte Carlo analysis to estimate the range of possible outcomes within each scenario and to allocate value to the securities in accordance with the terms of the agreements. The valuation resulted in a model-derived common stock value of $0.04 per share and $0.011 per share as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively, primarily due to the preference rights of the debt holders and the anti-dilution and net cash settlement features of the 2011, 2012, and 2013 Warrants. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. The Company will continue to classify the fair value of the warrants as a liability until the warrants are exercised, expire, or are amended in a way that would no longer require these warrants to be classified as a liability.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recorded non-operating income of $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively due to a decrease in the estimated fair value of these warrants.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded non-operating expense of $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively due to an increase in the estimated fair value of these warrants.

2012 and 2013 Warrants

On October 2, 2012, as part of the 2012 Financing, the Company issued the 2012 Warrants to holders of the 2012 Convertible Notes.  The 2012 Warrants were exercisable at an exercise price of $0.75 per share subject to certain adjustments as specified in the warrant agreement.  The Company valued the warrants as derivative financial instruments as of the date of issuance and will continue to do so at each reporting date, with any changes in fair value being recorded on the Statement of Operations.  On April 6, 2013, the conversion price of the 2012 Convertible Notes was adjusted to $0.69 per share, the exercise price of the Warrants was adjusted to $0.69 per share, and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants was increased to 57,438,408 shares.

On June 28, 2013, as part of the 2013 Financing, the Company issued the 2013 Warrants to holders of the 2013 Convertible Notes.  The 2013 Warrants are currently exercisable at an exercise price of $0.69 per share subject to certain adjustments as specified in the warrant agreement.  In addition, on June 28, 2013, the Company entered into a Collaboration and Option Agreement with Celgene Corporation under which Celgene paid the Company $15 million in exchange for (i) five-year warrants to purchase 7,425,743 shares of common stock and ten-year warrants to purchase 14,851,485 shares of common stock, (ii) a right of first negotiation to the Company’s Neo-Kidney Augment Program; and (iii) entering into the Collaboration and Option Agreement.  The Celgene Warrants are currently exercisable at an exercise price of $1.01 per share.   The Company valued the 2013 warrants as derivative financial instruments as of the date of issuance and will continue to do so at each reporting date, with any changes in fair value being recorded on the Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss.
 
 
The 2012 and 2013 warrants contain provisions that require the modification of the exercise price and shares to be issued under certain circumstances, including in the event the Company completes subsequent equity financings at a price per share lower than the then-current warrant exercise price.  In addition, the warrants contain a net cash settlement provision under which the warrant holders may require the Company to purchase the warrants in exchange for a cash payment following the announcement of specified events defined as Major Transactions involving the Company (e.g., merger, sale of all or substantially all assets, tender offer, or share exchange).  The net cash settlement provision requires use of the Black-Scholes model in calculating the cash payment value in the event of a Major Transaction.

The fair value of the 2012 and 2013 warrants as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013 was determined using a risk-neutral framework within a Monte Carlo analysis to model the impact of potential modifications to the warrant exercise price and to include the probability of a Fundamental Transaction. In addition, the following inputs were used in the valuation model: assumptions regarding the aggregate value of the Company’s debt and equity instruments, the amounts and dates of future debt financing transaction, and the historical and prospective volatility in the value of the Company’s debt and equity instruments. The Company used an implied enterprise value considering potential future values for the Company contingent on the outcome of its research programs in conjunction with a Monte Carlo analysis to estimate the range of possible outcomes within each scenario and to allocate value to the securities in accordance with the terms of the agreements. The valuation resulted in a model-derived common stock value of $0.04 per share and $0.11 per share as of December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013, respectively, primarily due to the preference rights of the debt holders and the anti-dilution and net cash settlement features of the 2011, 2012, and 2013 Warrants. Changes in these assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate. The Company will continue to classify the fair value of the warrants as a liability until the warrants are exercised, expire, or are amended in a way that would no longer require these warrants to be classified as a liability.

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded non-operating income of $0.1 million due to a decrease in the estimated fair value of these warrants.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recorded non-operating expense of $1.6 million due to an increase in the estimated fair value of these warrants.

Stock-based Compensation
 
The Company currently maintains two stock-based compensation plans.  Under the 2004 Stock Option Plan (the 2004 Plan), stock awards were granted to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company, in the form of restricted stock and stock options. The amounts and terms of options granted were determined by the Company’s compensation committee. The equity awards granted under the Plan generally vest over four years and have terms of up to ten years after the date of grant, and options are exercisable in cash or as otherwise determined by the board of directors. There are no shares available for future grants under the 2004 Plan, as grants from the 2004 Plan ceased upon the Company’s initial public offering in April 2010.
 
The 2010 Stock Incentive and Option Plan (2010 Plan) became effective upon the closing of the Company’s initial public offering.  Under the 2010 Plan, stock awards may be granted to employees, directors, and consultants of the Company, in the form of restricted or unrestricted stock, stock appreciation rights, cash-based or performance share awards and stock options. The amounts and terms of options granted are determined by the Company’s compensation committee. The equity awards granted under the Plan generally vest over four years and have terms of up to ten years after the date of grant, and options are exercisable in cash or as otherwise determined by the board of directors.  The 2010 Plan allows for the transfer of forfeited shares from the 2004 Plan.  As of June 30, 2013, 153,707 shares of common stock were available for future grants under the 2010 Plan.

Overview
 
Tengion, Inc. is a regenerative medicine company focused on discovering, developing, manufacturing and commercializing a range of neo-organs, or products composed of living cells, with or without synthetic or natural materials, implanted or injected into the body to engraft into, regenerate, or replace a damaged tissue or organ. Using our Organ Regeneration Platform, we create these neo-organs using a patient’s own cells, or autologous cells. We believe our proprietary product candidates harness the intrinsic regenerative pathways of the body to regenerate a range of native-like organs and tissues. Our product candidates are intended to delay or eliminate the need for chronic disease therapies, organ transplantation, and the administration of anti-rejection medications. In addition, our neo-organs are designed to replace the need to substitute other tissues of the body for a purpose to which they are poorly suited. Building on our clinical and preclinical experience, we are initially leveraging our Organ Regeneration Platform to develop our Neo-Urinary Conduit for bladder cancer patients who are in need of a urinary diversion and our Neo-Kidney Augment for patients with advanced chronic kidney disease.
 
To date, we have devoted substantially all of our resources to the development of our Organ Regeneration Platform and product candidates, as well as to our facilities that we employ to manufacture our neo-organs. Since our inception in July 2003, we have had no revenue from product sales, and have funded our operations principally through the private and public sales of equity securities and debt financings. We have never been profitable and, as of June 30, 2013, we had an accumulated deficit of $264.9 million, including $48.4 million of cumulative accretion on the Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock through April 2010. We expect to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future as we advance our product candidates from discovery through preclinical studies and clinical trials and seek marketing approval and eventual commercialization.

Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2013 were $13.9 million, representing 36% of total assets.  We received proceeds of $20.6 million in July 2013 relating to the Celgene and financing transactions consummated in June 2013.  Based upon our current expected level of operating expenditures and debt repayment, and assuming we are not required to settle any outstanding warrants in cash or redeem, or pay cash interest on, any of our convertible notes, we expect to be able to fund operations through at least 2014. There is no assurance that additional financing will be available or, if available, on terms acceptable to us.

On June 28, 2013, we completed a private placement of an aggregate principal amount of $18.6 million of senior secured convertible notes and warrants to purchase an aggregate of approximately 81 million shares of common stock.  Also on June 28, 2013, we entered into a Collaboration and Option Agreement with Celgene Corporation under which Celgene paid us $15.0 million in exchange for (i) five-year warrants to purchase 7,425,743 shares of common stock and ten-year warrants to purchase 14,851,485 shares of common stock, (ii) a right of first negotiation to our Neo-Kidney Augment Program; and (iii) entering into the Collaboration and Option Agreement.

Financial Operations Overview

Research and Development Expense
Our research and development expense consists of expenses incurred in developing and testing our product candidates and are expensed as incurred. Research and development expense include:

·  
personnel related expenses, including salaries, benefits, travel and other related expenses including stock-based compensation;
·  
payments made to third-party contract research organizations for preclinical studies, investigative sites for clinical trials and consultants;
·  
costs associated with regulatory filings and the advancement of our product candidates through preclinical studies and clinical trials;
·  
laboratory and other supplies;
·  
manufacturing development costs; and
·  
facility maintenance.

Preclinical study and clinical trial costs for our product candidates are a significant component of our current research and development expenses. We track and record information regarding external research and development expenses on a per-study basis. Preclinical studies are currently coordinated with third-party contract research organizations and expense is recognized based on the percentage completed by study at the end of each reporting period. Clinical trials are currently coordinated through a number of contracted sites and expense is recognized based on a number of factors, including actual and estimated patient enrollment and visits, direct pass-through costs and other clinical site fees. We utilize internal employees, resources and facilities across multiple product candidates.  We do not allocate internal research and development expenses among product candidates.

From our inception in July 2003 through June 30, 2013, we have incurred research and development expense of $132.6 million. We expect that a large percentage of our research and development expense in the future will be incurred in support of our current and future preclinical and clinical development programs. These expenditures are subject to numerous uncertainties in timing and cost to completion. We expect to continue to test our product candidates in preclinical studies for toxicology, safety and efficacy, and to conduct additional clinical trials for each product candidate. If we are not able to engage a partner prior to the commencement of later stage clinical trials, we may fund these trials ourselves. As we obtain results from clinical trials, we may elect to discontinue or delay clinical trials for certain product candidates or programs in order to focus our resources on more promising product candidates or programs. Completion of clinical trials by us or our future collaborators may take several years or more, but the length of time generally varies according to the type, complexity, novelty and intended use of a product candidate. The cost of clinical trials may vary significantly over the life of a project as a result of differences arising during clinical development, including, among others:

·  
the number of sites included in the trials;
·  
the length of time required to enroll suitable patients;
·  
the number of patients that participate in the trials;
·  
the duration of patient follow-up;
·  
the development stage of the product candidate; and
·  
the efficacy and safety profile of the product candidate.

None of our product candidates have received FDA or foreign regulatory marketing approval. In order to grant marketing approval, the FDA or foreign regulatory agencies must conclude that clinical data establishes the safety and efficacy of our product candidates. Furthermore, our strategy includes entering into collaborations with third parties to participate in the development and commercialization of our product candidates. In the event that third parties have control over the clinical trial process for a product candidate, the estimated completion date would largely be under control of that third party rather than under our control. We cannot forecast with any degree of certainty which of our product candidates will be subject to future collaborations or how such arrangements would affect our development plan or capital requirements.

As a result of the uncertainties discussed above, we are unable to determine the duration and completion costs of our development projects or when and to what extent we will receive cash inflows from the commercialization and sale of an approved product candidate.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make significant judgments and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Management bases these significant judgments and estimates on historical experience and other assumptions it believes to be reasonable based upon information presently available. Actual results could differ from those estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions. There were no material changes to our critical accounting policies and use of estimates previously disclosed in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Research and development expense were $2.8 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and $5.5 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in research and development expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to a reduction in compensation and related expenses resulting from fewer employees as compared to the 2012 periods, as well as a reduction in external services.

General and Administrative Expense. General and administrative expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013 were comprised of the following (in thousands):

General and administrative expense was $1.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013.  General and administrative expense was $2.8 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to an increase in legal fees resulting from a change in corporate counsel as well as significant registration statement activity during 2013 related to securities issued in our 2011 and 2012 financings.

Depreciation Expense. Depreciation expense was approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, and $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The decrease in depreciation expense is solely due to an increased number of fully depreciated assets in 2013.

Other Expense, net. Other expense was $44,000 and $91,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and $92,000 and $121,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively.   The increase in other expense is $0.2 million charge due to a change in assumption of sublease income related to the manufacturing space in its East Norriton, Pennsylvania facility offset by income of $0.1 million related to the sale of Pennsylvania research and development tax credits to a third party buyer .
 
Interest Income (Expense).  Interest income was $4,000 and $2,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and $11,000 and $7,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Interest expense was $0.2 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively, and $0.3 million and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The increase was primarily due to non-cash interest expense associated with the 2012 Convertible Notes issued in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the 2013 Convertible Notes issued in the second quarter of 2013.

Change in Fair Value of Derivative Liability. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a non-cash charge of $4.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively on our statements of operations due to a change in the fair value of the derivative liability for the Conversion Option and the Call Option.

Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a non-cash charge of $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, on our statements of operations due to a change in the fair value of the warrant liability for warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in March 2011 and October 2012. The increase in fair value is due to the increase in the valuation model-derived common stock value. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded a non-cash credit of $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, on our statement of operations due to a decrease in the fair value of the warrant liability for warrants to purchase common stock that were issued in March 2011. The decrease in fair value was primarily due to a decrease in the price per share of our common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Source of Liquidity
 
We have incurred losses since our incorporation in 2003 as a result of our significant research and development expenditures and the lack of any approved products to generate product sales. We have a deficit accumulated during the development stage of $264.9 million as of June 30, 2013, including $48.4 million of cumulative accretion on Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock through April 2010. We anticipate that we will continue to incur additional losses until such time that we can generate significant sales of our product candidates currently in development or we enter into cash flow positive business transactions. We have funded our operations principally with proceeds from equity and debt offerings.
 
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2013, were $13.9 million, representing 36% of total assets.  We received proceeds of $20.6 million in July 2013 relating to the Celgene and financing transactions consummated in June 2013.  Based upon our current expected level of operating expenditures and debt repayment, and assuming we are not required to settle any outstanding warrants in cash or redeem, or pay cash interest on, any of our Convertible Notes, we expect to be able to fund operations at least through 2014.  This period could be shortened if there are any significant increases in planned spending on development programs than anticipated or other unforeseen events. We will need to raise additional funds through collaborative arrangements, public or private sales of debt or equity securities, commercial loan facilities, or some combination thereof. There is no assurance that other financing will be available when needed to allow us to continue our operations or, if available, on terms acceptable to us.

Operating Activities
Cash used in operating activities decreased $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to an increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities as of June 30, 2013 as the Company managed its cash balances in anticipation of the close of the transactions completed in June 2013.

Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities decreased $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012.  During the 2012 period, the Company realized proceeds of approximately $6.1 million from net sales and redemptions (net of purchases) of short-term investments.   During the 2013 period, the Company realized $1.0 million from the release of the restricted cash.

Financing Activities
Cash provided by financing activities increased $14.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012, primarily due to $12.9 of proceeds received from the issuance of 2013 Convertible Notes.

Item 3.                      Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

There have been no material changes in the market risks discussed in Part II, Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk”  included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4.                      Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As required by Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. This evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. The Company had previously reported a material weakness in internal control over financial reporting with respect to the misapplication of U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for the classification of debt financing costs. which was described in Item 9A including Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. This material weakness was the result of limited accounting and reporting resources and a lack of accounting expertise related to the initial classification of debt financing costs incurred for convertible debt issuances that include issuance of derivatives such as warrants and call options. This material weakness did not have an impact on our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 as we made the appropriate correcting journal entries.  As a result of this material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for significant financing transactions, which was not remediated as of June 30, 2013, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of June 30, 2013.

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in Company reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company has continued to implement remediation steps to address the material weakness discussed above and to improve its internal control over accounting for significant financing transactions. Specifically, the Company has developed supplemental internal control procedures to properly evaluate the accounting implications of significant financing transactions and has identified qualified resources to execute the process and procedural enhancements.

The measures described above should remediate the material weakness identified and strengthen our internal controls over the accounting for significant financing transactions. Management is committed to improving the Company’s internal control processes. As the Company continues to evaluate and improve its internal control over accounting for significant financing transactions, additional measures to address the material weakness or modifications to certain of the remediation procedures described above may be identified. The Company expects to complete the required remedial actions during 2013.

Other than as described above, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
