Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure and Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | 1. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Organization and Basis of Presentation Cesca Therapeutics Inc. (the Company, Cesca) is focused on the research, development, and commercialization of autologous cell-based therapies that advance the safe and effective practice of regenerative medicine. Cesca is a leader in the development and manufacture of automated blood and bone marrow processing systems that enable the separation, processing and cryopreservation of cell and tissue therapy products. Liquidity At December 31, 2015, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,942 and working capital of $3,341. The Company has incurred recurring operating losses and as of December 31, 2015 had an accumulated deficit of $141,695. The Company has primarily financed operations through the sale of equity securities and the sale of certain non-core assets. In August 2015, the Company sold senior secured convertible debentures and warrants raising proceeds of $5,500 (the “Thirty-Year Debentures”). The second closing for gross proceeds of up to an additional $9,500 was contingent upon a number of items including the Company receiving approval from the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (“CIRM”) for a grant in the amount of $10,000 or more. The funds were intended to support implementation of Cesca’s FDA approved phase III pivotal trial for Critical Limb Ischemia (“CLIRST III”). The Company applied for the CIRM grant in August 2015. However, based upon preliminary feedback from CIRM received in early November, the Company withdrew its application on November 6, 2015. On February 2, 2016, the Company signed a purchase agreement for a financing transaction (“the Financing Transaction”), as more fully discussed in Footnote 6, for gross proceeds of $15 million. Based upon the closings of the Financing Transaction, repayment of the Thirty-Year Debentures, the Company’s cash balance, historical trends, the restructuring that occurred in September 2015, expected outflows and projections for revenues, management believes it will have sufficient cash to provide for its projected needs to maintain operations and working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months from the date of filing this quarterly report. The Company will need additional funding to support its phase III Critical Limb Ischemia (CLIRST III) pivotal trial. As such, management has been exploring additional funding sources including strategic partner relationships. The Company cannot assure that such funding will be available on a timely basis, in needed quantities, or on favorable terms , if at all. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cesca Therapeutics Inc., and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, TotipotentRX Cell Therapy, Pvt. Ltd. and TotipotentSC Scientific Product Pvt. Ltd. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Interim Reporting The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements through the date of issuance. Operating results for the six month period ended December 31, 2015, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2016. These unaudited condensed consolidated 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, 2015. Revenue Recognition Revenues from the sale of the Company’s products and services 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. The Company generally ships products F.O.B. shipping point. There is no conditional evaluation on any product sold and recognized as revenue. Amounts billed in excess of revenue recognized are recorded as deferred revenue on the balance sheet. The Company’s sales are generally through distributors. There is no right of return. For sales of products made to distributors, the Company considers 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, the level of inventories maintained by the distributor, whether the Company has 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. The Company currently recognizes revenue primarily on the sell-in method with its distributors. 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. The Company accounts for training and installation, service agreements and the collection, processing and testing of the umbilical cord blood and the storage as separate units of accounting. Service revenue generated from contracts for providing maintenance of equipment is amortized over the life of the agreement. Revenue generated from storage contracts is deferred and recorded ratably over the life of the agreement, up to 21 years. All other service revenue is recognized at the time the service is completed. Revenues are net of normal discounts. Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net revenues, while the related costs are included in cost of revenues. Fair Value Measurements In accordance with ASC 820, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures The guidance also establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. The guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value: Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions. The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short duration. The fair value of the Company’s derivative obligation liability is classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy since the valuation model of the derivative obligation is based on unobservable inputs. Debt Issue Costs The Company amortizes debt issue costs to interest expense over the life of the associated debt instrument, using the straight-line method which approximates the interest rate method. Derivative Financial Instruments In connection with the sale of convertible debt and equity instruments, the Company may also issue freestanding warrants. If freestanding warrants are issued and accounted for as derivative instrument liabilities (rather than as equity), the proceeds are first allocated to the fair value of those instruments. The remaining proceeds, if any, are then allocated to the convertible instrument, usually resulting in that instrument being recorded at a discount from its face amount. Derivative financial instruments are initially measured at their fair value and then re-valued at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported as charges or credits to income. Segment Reporting The Company has one reportable business segment: the research, development and commercialization of autologous cell-based therapies for use in regenerative medicine. Net Loss per Share Net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per share is the same for all periods presented, as the effect of the potential common stock equivalents is anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss position for all periods presented. Anti-dilutive securities consisted of the following at December 31: 2015 2014 Common stock equivalents of convertible debentures 8,088,235 -- Warrants – initial close 12,033,068 (1) -- Warrants – second close 21,654,412 (2) -- Warrants – other 5,052,400 5,052,400 Stock options 2,936,750 2,394,035 Restricted stock units 1,197,072 623,009 Total 50,961,937 8,069,444 (1) The initial close warrants became exercisable on October 30, 2015, the date stockholder approval was received. (2) The second close warrants are subject to vesting based upon the amount of funds actually received by the Company in the second close. Stock-Based Compensation The Company estimates the fair value of stock options granted using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula. This fair value is then amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards, which is generally the vesting period.
