The Company is obligated to pay for the consumables in twelve fixed monthly installments beginning in October 2019. At June 30, 2020, the Company had taken delivery of consumables worth $209,468 in excess of the installment amounts paid. The amount due for goods that have been delivered is included in accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. Remaining payments due under the purchase commitment total $693,355 during the year ending June 30, 2021.

Legal proceedings

On or about July 13, 2018, RTJ, LLC and two of its principals filed a lawsuit against Predictive Therapeutics LLC, Predictive Biotech, Inc., both subsidiaries of Predictive Technology Group, Inc., and Jack Turner, Jr., an employee of Predictive Biotech, Inc. The plaintiffs had acted in a distributor capacity. The relationship was terminated. Plaintiffs are alleging breach of contract, promissory estoppel, unjust enrichment, fraud, breach of fiduciary duty, defamation, false light, and tortious interference. Based on the information available to us, we do not believe any of the RTJ proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. Further, we deny the allegations in the complaint, have not discovered any evidence of wrongdoing with respect to the allegations and will vigorously defend against these allegations.

On or about May 1, 2019, Surgenex, LLC and one of its principals filed a lawsuit against Predictive Therapeutics LLC, Predictive Biotech, Inc., both subsidiaries of Predictive Technology Group, Inc., and Doug Schmid, an employee of Predictive Biotech, Inc. In 2014 Surgenex contracted with Utah Cord Bank, Inc., a former employer of Doug Schmid, to assist Surgenex in the doing work relating to allograft tissue. Schmid was later hired by Predictive Biotech, Inc. In connection with Schmid's employment with Predictive Biotech, Surgenex has filed a lawsuit alleging unjust enrichment, conspiracy, conversion, tortious interference with contractual and business relations, violations of trade secrets act, and other claims. Based on the information available to us, we do not believe the Surgenex proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. Further, we deny the allegations in the complaint, have not discovered any evidence of wrongdoing with respect to the allegations and will vigorously defend against these allegations.

On or about July 12, 2019, Predictive Technology Group, Inc. and Predictive Therapeutics, LLC, a subsidiary of Predictive Technology Group, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Michael Schramm (Schramm). Schramm entered into an agreement to sell us certain patents and patent applications in consideration for equity securities. Schramm represented that he owned all rights, title, and interest in and to the intellectual property. We were subsequently advised by our patent counsel that, while the patents are registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office in the Company's name, the Company may not have a full interest in the patents. An unrelated third-party law firm placed a lien on the patents due to non-payment of legal fees by a third-party entity to whom certain assets were sold by another third-party entity that originally owned the patents.  The Company raised these concerns with Schramm, who did not provide satisfactory evidence confirming that the Company had sole title to the patents.  We sued Schramm for breach of contract, conversion and on other legal theories and are seeking, among other things, rescission of the purchase and sale transaction. While there is some question as to whether the Company has full title to these patents, we believe that we have at least partial ownership and can develop products based on the said patents. Schramm filed a counterclaim against us and Bradley C. Robinson, our Chief Executive Officer and Transfer Online, Inc., our transfer agent. Schramm is alleging he did not make any false representations. He is alleging, among other things, that various parties involved in the transaction committed breach of contract, conversion, violations of Nevada state law for failure to transfer securities, breach of fiduciary duty, tortious interference, and civil conspiracy.  Based on the information available to us, we do not believe the Schramm proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial position, or liquidity. Further, we deny the allegations in the counterclaim, have not discovered any evidence of wrongdoing with respect to the allegations in the counterclaim and will vigorously prosecute our claims against Schramm.

On or about March 18, 2020, Predictive Biotech, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the Utah District Court against Auxocell Laboratories, Inc. for breach of contract, product liability, breach of warranty, negligent misrepresentation and other claims relating to defects in laboratory equipment Auxocell sold to Predictive Biotech. Alleged damages include wasted umbilical cord tissue, lost inventory, costs associated with particulate testing, reputational injury, and related claims. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in pursuing these claims.

Mackey Investment, LLLP ("Mackey") subscribed for and purchased 500,000 shares of Predictive common stock for $480,000 on or about January 29, 2020. Mackey was given all of the Company's SEC filings as part of his due diligence. Mackey, through counsel, sent a letter demanding rescission of his investment. He is alleging that Predictive failed to disclose material information in connection with its investment and has threatened a lawsuit for securities fraud. To date, no lawsuit has been filed. We deny the allegations in the demand letter and will vigorously defend against these allegations.

On or about April 30, 2020, Equitas Bio/Pharma Solutions, LLC ("Equitas") filed a lawsuit against Predictive Technology Group in New York District Court alleging nonpayment of "at least $551,080" in amounts owing under Master Service Agreement and Project Work Orders as of the date of filing. The claims are for breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith and fair dealing and fraud. The basis of the fraud claim alleges that Predictive "made specific statements to Equitas that it was able to and intend to perform its obligations under the agreements" and at "the time Predictive made these promises it had no intention of keeping them." We agree that amounts are owed under the agreements, but we deny all allegations in the complaint relating to breach of covenant of good faith and fraud. Amounts due as of June 30, 2020 are included in accounts payable in the consolidated balance sheets.

In June 2020, Wellgistics, LLC, the distributor of the Company's Assurance AB product, requested that the partial deposit paid on their non-cancellable purchase order of $5 million (see Note 7) be returned. As the purchase order is contractually non-cancellable and the Company performed on the order in good faith by transmitting the deposit to the Company's supplier, the request to return the deposit was not honored. To date there has been no legal action taken by either party.

As of June 30, 2020, we did not record a liability related to these matters (other than amounts recorded in accounts payable as described above) as it was determined that an unfavorable resolution is either not currently probable or that an amount or relevant range is not reasonably estimable, or both. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and it is possible that losses may occur. Any unfavorable resolution of any of these matters could materially affect our consolidated financial position, cash flows, or results of operations. All legal costs associated with litigation are expensed as incurred.

FDA Warning Letter

We received a Warning Letter from the FDA on August 17, 2020 regarding the marketing of our allograft product, CoreCyte. The letter alleges inappropriate marketing of CoreCyte as a treatment for COVID-19 and challenges the eligibility of CoreCyte for regulation under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act. Products regulated solely under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act do not require premarket approval. The Company is currently working with the FDA to address the concerns raised in the Warning Letter to the FDA's satisfaction. While the Company believes that it has complied with all applicable regulations to date, certain potential findings or interpretations by the FDA with regard to the regulatory character of CoreCyte could have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. For example, the Company may be required to accelerate the filing of an Investigational New Drug (IND) application, cease sales and marketing of CoreCyte, or both. CoreCyte represented 71.5% of the Company's sales for the year ended June 30, 2020.

COVID-19

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the novel coronavirus ("COVID-19"), a respiratory illness first identified in Wuhan, China, a pandemic. The global spread of COVID-19 has created significant volatility, uncertainty, and economic disruption. Governments in affected regions have implemented, and may continue to implement, safety precautions which include quarantines, travel restrictions, business closures, cancellations of public gatherings and other measures as they deem necessary. Many organizations and individuals, including the Company and its employees, are taking additional steps to avoid or reduce infection, including limiting travel and working from home. These measures are disrupting normal business operations both in and outside of affected areas and have had significant negative impacts on businesses and financial markets worldwide.

The Company experienced operational and financial impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic beginning late in the third quarter of fiscal 2020, including the impact of stay-at-home mandates and related safety measures such as the delay of elective medical procedures, resulting in a decline in the volume of procedures using the Company's products. The Company has implemented cost cutting measures, including a headcount reduction in April 2020 in the HCT/P segment of approximately 50%. Severance costs related to the reduction in force were $127,504 and were fully paid as of June 30, 2020.

The severity of the material impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business will depend on a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the duration and severity of the pandemic and the extent and severity of the impact on the Company's customers and suppliers, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted. The impact of COVID-19 on the Company's results of operations and cash flows has been material and is expected to continue to be material, at least in the short term. Given the dynamic nature of this situation, the Company is currently unable to accurately predict the impact of COVID-19 on its future operations and financial results or cash flows for the foreseeable future and whether the impact of COVID-19 could lead to potential impairments.

Past due payments

As of June 30, 2020, many of the Company's obligations were significantly past due. As a result, our creditors may have grounds to take adverse action against the Company, including but not limited to lawsuits and seizure of collateral. Any such actions taken by our creditors could have material adverse impact on our operations or financial condition.
