Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Business and Organization	Business and Organization Organization Fibrocell Science, Inc. (as used herein, “we,” “us,” “our,” “Fibrocell” or the “Company”) is the parent company of Fibrocell Technologies, Inc. (Fibrocell Tech). Fibrocell Tech is the parent company of Isolagen International, S.A., a company organized under the laws of Switzerland (Isolagen Switzerland). The Company’s international activities are currently immaterial. Subsequent Events On April 18, 2018, the Company announced that its Board of Directors is conducting a comprehensive review of strategic alternatives focused on maximizing stockholder value and had engaged Canaccord Genuity LLC as its strategic financial advisor to assist with the review process. The Board of Directors has established a Special Committee to explore and evaluate potential strategic alternatives which may include a sale of the Company, a business combination, a merger or reverse merger with another company, a strategic investment into the Company, a sale, license or other disposition of corporate assets of the Company or continuing with the current business plan. The Company has not set a timetable for completion of the review process. No decision has been made as to whether the Company will engage in a transaction or transactions, and there can be no assurance that this process will result in any transaction, or the terms or timing of any potential transaction. Business Overview Fibrocell is an autologous cell and gene therapy company translating personalized biologics into medical breakthroughs. The Company is focused on discovering and developing therapies for the localized treatment of diseases affecting the skin and connective tissue. All of the Company’s product candidates incorporate its proprietary autologous fibroblast technology. The Company’s research and development efforts focus on gaining regulatory approvals of its product candidates in the United States. Liquidity and Financial Condition The Company expects to continue to incur losses and will require additional capital to advance its product candidates through development to commercialization. For the three month period ended March 31, 2018 the Company incurred a net loss of approximately $2.9 million and used approximately $4.8 million in cash for operations. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $12.2 million, working capital of approximately $10.8 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $181.7 million. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2018 will be sufficient to fund operations into the first quarter of 2019. The Company will require additional capital to fund operations beyond that point. To meet its capital needs, the Company intends to raise additional capital through debt or equity financings, collaborations, partnerships or other strategic transactions. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to complete any such transaction on acceptable terms or otherwise. The failure of the Company to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms when needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition. These conditions raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a basis that assumes the Company will continue as a going concern and which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. On January 23, 2018, the Company received notice (the Notice) from the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC that the Company is not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2), as the minimum bid price of the Company’s common stock has been below $1.00 per share for 30 consecutive business days. The Notice has no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock, which will continue to trade at this time on Nasdaq under the symbol “FCSC.” In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has a period of 180 calendar days, or until July 23, 2018, to regain compliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for at least ten consecutive business days during this 180 calendar day period. In the event the Company does not regain compliance by July 23, 2018, the Company may be eligible for an additional 180 calendar day grace period if it meets the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares ($1 million) and all other initial listing standards for Nasdaq, with the exception of the minimum bid price, and provides written notice to Nasdaq of its intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary. If the Company does not regain compliance within the allotted compliance period(s), Nasdaq will provide notice that the Company’s common stock will be subject to delisting from Nasdaq. In that event, the Company may appeal such delisting determination to a hearings panel. The Company intends to monitor the closing bid price of its common stock and consider options to resolve its noncompliance with the minimum bid price requirement. To address its non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement, the Company is seeking approval of an amendment to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of its common stock at a ratio in the range of 1:3 to 1:10, such ratio to be determined in the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors, at its annual meeting of stockholders to be held on May 23, 2018. Nasdaq has the authority, pursuant to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), to delist the Company’s common stock if its stockholders’ equity falls below $2.5 million. As of March 31, 2018, the Company’s stockholders’ equity was approximately $6.3 million. If the Company’s stockholders equity is hereafter reduced below $2.5 million as a result of operating losses or for other reasons, the Company will fail to meet Nasdaq’s stockholders’ equity requirement. If that occurs, or if the Company is unable to demonstrate to Nasdaq’s satisfaction that it will be able to sustain compliance with this requirement, Nasdaq may delist the Company’s common stock. In addition, even if the Company regains technical compliance with the stockholders’ equity requirement, it will have to continue to meet other objective and subjective listing requirements to continue to be listed on Nasdaq, including the requirement that the Company’s common stock continues to trade above $1.00. The Company is actively monitoring its stockholders’ equity and will consider any and all options available to it to maintain compliance. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be able to maintain compliance and meet Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity requirements.
