NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For the Three and Six Months Ended September 30, 2008 and 2007


NOTE 1 - MANAGEMENT’S REPRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by CryoPort, Inc. (the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statement presentation. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

Operating results for the six months ended September 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2009. It is suggested that the unaudited consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008. 

NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization

Cryoport, Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the name G.T.5-Limited (“GT5”) on May 25, 1990 as a Nevada Corporation.  Upon completion of a Share Exchange Agreement, on March 15, 2005 the Company changed its name to Cryoport, Inc. and acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Cryoport Systems, Inc. in exchange for 24,108,105 shares of its common stock (which represented approximately 81% of the total issued and outstanding shares of common stock following the close of the transaction).  Cryoport Systems, Inc, originally formed in 1999 as a California limited liability company and reorganized into a California corporation on December 11, 2000, remains the operating company under Cryoport, Inc.

The principal focus of the Company is to capitalize on servicing the transportation needs of the growing global “biotechnology revolution” and provide a newly developed line of one time use dry cryogenic shippers for the transport of biological materials. These materials include live cell pharmaceutical products; e.g., cancer vaccines, diagnostic materials, reproductive tissues, infectious substances and other items that require continuous exposure to cryogenic temperature (less than -150°C).  The Company has historically manufactured and sold a line of reusable cryogenic dry shippers.  These reusable cryogenic dry shippers primarily serve as the vehicles for the development of the cryogenic technology that support the development of the one time use dry cryogenic shippers, the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper, but also are essential components of the infrastructure that supports testing and research activities of the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.  The Company’s mission is to provide cost effective packaging systems for biological materials requiring, or benefiting from, a cryogenic temperature environment over an extended period of time.

NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern.  The Company has not generated significant revenues from operations and has no assurance of any future revenues.  The Company generated revenues from operations of only $19,406, incurred a net loss of $9,791,774 including a $6,811,214 loss on debt extinguishment,  and used cash of $1,584,022 in its operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2008.    In addition, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,422,284 as of September 30, 2008.  These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On October 1, 2007, the Company received net proceeds of $3,436,551 from the issuance of convertible debentures (see Note 8).  On May 30, 2008, the Company received net proceeds of $870,625 from an additional convertible debenture financing (see Note 8).  As a result of the recent financings, the Company had an aggregate cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balance of approximately $1,130,000 as of November 10, 2008 which will be used to fund the sales and marketing efforts as well as provide the working capital required for the Company’s launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper and is expected to provide the Company with the means for eventual achievement of sustained profitable operations and the ability to continue as a going concern.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CryoPort, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, CryoPort Systems, Inc. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from estimated amounts. The Company’s significant estimates include allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns, recoverability of long-lived assets, allowances for inventory obsolescence, accrued warranty costs, deferred tax assets and their accompanying valuations, product liability reserves and the valuations of common stock, warrants and stock options issued for products or services.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.

Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
Cash and cash equivalents

The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent accounts in financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $100,000. At September 30, 2008, the Company had $1,380,873 of cash balances, including restricted cash, which were in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit its concentration risk exposure.

Restricted cash

The Company has invested cash in a one year restricted certificate of deposit bearing interest at 4.38% which serves as collateral for borrowings under a line of credit agreement (see Note 6). At September 30, 2008, the balance in the certificate of deposit was $208,196.

NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

Customers

The Company grants credit to customers within the United States of America and to a limited number of international customers, and does not require collateral. Sales to other international customers are secured by advance payments, letters of credit, or cash against documents. The Company’s ability to collect receivables is affected by economic fluctuations in the geographic areas and industries served by the Company. Reserves for uncollectible amounts, totaling approximately $3,100 as of September 30, 2008, are provided based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts which management believes are sufficient. Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts.

The Company has foreign sales primarily in Europe and Canada. Foreign sales are primarily under exclusive distribution agreements with international distributors. During the six month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company had foreign sales of approximately $6,500 and $2,000, respectively, which constituted approximately 33% and 6%, respectively, of net sales.

The majority of the Company’s customers are in the bio-tech, bio-pharmaceutical and life science industries. Consequently, there is a concentration of receivables within these industries, which is subject to normal credit risk.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, related-party notes payable, note payable to officer, line of credit, convertible notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying value for all such instruments, except the related party notes payable, approximates fair value at September 30, 2008. The difference between the fair value and recorded values of the related party notes payable is not significant.

Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or current estimated market value. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method. The Company periodically reviews its inventories and records a provision for excess and obsolete inventories based primarily on the Company’s estimated forecast of product demand and production requirements. Once established, write-downs of inventories are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the obsolete or excess inventories. Work in process and finished goods include material, labor and applied overhead.

Fixed Assets

Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets are provided using the straight-line method over the following useful lives:

Furniture and fixtures
 
7 years
Machinery and equipment
 
5-7 years
Leasehold improvements
 
Lesser of lease term or estimated useful life

Betterments, renewals and extraordinary repairs that extend the lives of the assets are capitalized; other repairs and maintenance charges are expensed as incurred. The cost and related accumulated depreciation applicable to assets retired are removed from the accounts, and the gain or loss on disposition is recognized in current operations.
 
Intangible Assets

Patents and trademarks are amortized, using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful life of five years.

Long-Lived Assets

The Company’s management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets upon the occurrence of a triggering event by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment, if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long-lived asset impairment is determined by management. At September 30, 2008, the Company’s management believes there is no impairment of its long-lived assets. There can be no assurance however, that market conditions will not change or demand for the Company’s products will continue, which could result in impairment of its long-lived assets in the future.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs represent costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the convertible notes payable.  Deferred financing costs are being amortized over the term of the financing instrument on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method.  During the six month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company capitalized deferred financing costs of $107,673 and $0, respectively, and amortized deferred financing costs of $27,929 and $4,699, respectively, to interest expense.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101, Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements, as revised by SAB No. 104. The Company recognizes revenue when products are shipped to a customer and the risks and rewards of ownership and title have passed based on the terms of the sale. The Company records a provision for sales returns and claims based upon historical experience. Actual returns and claims in any future period may differ from the Company’s estimates.
 
Accounting for Shipping and Handling Revenue, Fees and Costs

Advertising Costs

The Company expenses the cost of advertising when incurred as a component of selling, general and administrative expenses. During the six month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company expensed approximately $37,000 and $9,000, respectively, in advertising costs.

Research and Development Expenses

The Company expenses internal research and development costs as incurred. Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted work has been performed.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company accounts for equity issuances to employees and directors in accordance to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS 123(R)”) which establishes standards for the accounting of transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily focusing on accounting for transactions where an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123(R) requires a public entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period.
 
As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for the six month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures, if any. SFAS 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The estimated average forfeiture rate for the six month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was zero as the Company has not had a significant history of forfeitures and does not expect forfeitures in the future.

Plan Description

The Company’s stock option plan provides for grants of incentive stock options and nonqualified options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company to purchase the Company’s shares at the fair value, as determined by management and the board of directors, of such shares on the grant date. The options generally vest over a five-year period beginning on the grant date and have a ten-year term. As of September 30, 2008, the Company is authorized to issue up to 5,000,000 shares under this plan and has 2,511,387 shares available for future issuances.

Summary of Assumptions and Activity

The fair value of stock-based awards to employees and directors is calculated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, even though this model was developed to estimate the fair value of freely tradable, fully transferable options without vesting restrictions, which differ significantly from the Company’s stock options. The Black-Scholes model also requires subjective assumptions, including future stock price volatility and expected time to exercise, which greatly affect the calculated values. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical data on employee exercises and post-vesting employment termination behavior. The risk-free rate selected to value any particular grant is based on the U.S Treasury rate that corresponds to the pricing term of the grant effective as of the date of the grant. The expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price. These factors could change in the future, affecting the determination of stock-based compensation expense in future periods.

There was no vesting of prior warrants or stock options issued to employees and directors during the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.  As of September 30, 2008, there was $105,965 of unrecognized compensation cost related to employee and director stock based compensation arrangements, which is expected to be recognized over the next two years.

The total intrinsic value of stock options and warrants exercised during the six months ended September 30, 2008 was $203,012.

Issuance of Stock for Non-Cash Consideration

All issuances of the Company's stock for non-cash consideration have been assigned a per share amount equaling either the market value of the shares issued or the value of consideration received, whichever is more readily determinable. The majority of the non-cash consideration received pertains to services rendered by consultants and others and has been valued at the market value of the shares on the dates issued. In certain instances, the Company has discounted the values assigned to the issued shares for illiquidity and/or restrictions on resale.

NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

The Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services and EITF 00-18, Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued to consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the term of the consulting agreement. In accordance with EITF 00-18, an asset acquired in exchange for the issuance of fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor's balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes. Accordingly, the Company records the fair value of the fully vested non-forfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid services in its consolidated balance sheet.

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for certain deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize tax assets through future operations. The Company is a subchapter "C" corporation and files a federal income tax return. The Company files separate state income tax returns for California and Nevada.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

The Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings Per Share (see Note 10).

Basic loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding assuming all dilutive potential common shares were issued. Basic and diluted loss per share are the same as the effect of stock options and warrants on loss per share are anti-dilutive and thus not included in the diluted loss per share calculation. The impact under the treasury stock method of dilutive stock options and warrants and the if-converted method of convertible debt would have resulted in weighted average common shares outstanding of 58,459,328 and 44,177,869 for the six month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Convertible Debentures

If the conversion feature of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5, Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratio, (“EITF 98-05”) and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments (“EITF 00-27”). In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF. The Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the straight-line interest method which approximates the effective amortization method (see Note 8).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements.  SFAS No. 157 establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure about fair value measurements.  Specifically, this standard establishes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity specific measurement.  As such, the value measurement should be determined based on assumptions the market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability.  The expanded disclosures include disclosure of the inputs used to measure fair value and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings for the period.  SFAS No. 157 was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.  FASB Staff Position No. FAS 157-2 (“FSP 157-2”), Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157 was issued in February 2008.  FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS No. 157, for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except for items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value at least once a year, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and for interim periods within those fiscal years.  The adoption of this pronouncement did not have material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On February 15, 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS No. 159 permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This option is available to all entities, including not-for-profit organizations. Most of the provisions in SFAS No. 159 are elective; however, the amendment to SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities, applies to all entities with available-for-sale and trading securities. Some requirements apply differently to entities that do not report net income. The fair value option established by SFAS No. 159 permits all entities to choose to measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business entity will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date. SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007.  The adoption of this pronouncement did not have material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 2 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES, continued

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) replaces SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”, and is effective for the Company for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. SFAS 141(R) requires the new acquiring entity to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transactions, expense all direct transaction costs and account for the estimated fair value of contingent consideration.  This standard establishes an acquisition-date fair value for acquired assets and liabilities and fully discloses to investors the financial effect the acquisition will have.  The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires all entities to report minority interests in subsidiaries as equity in the financial statements, and requires that transactions between entities and noncontrolling interests be treated as equity.  SFAS 160 is effective for the Company as of the beginning of fiscal year 2009.  The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Operating Leases

On July 2, 2007, the Company entered into a new lease agreement with Viking Investors - Barents Sea, LLC for a building with approximately 11,881 square feet of manufacturing and office space located at 20382 Barents Sea Circle, Lake Forest, CA, 92630. The lease agreement is for a period of two years with renewal options for three, one-year periods, beginning September 1, 2007. The lease requires base lease payments of approximately $12,000 per month. In connection with the lease agreement, the Company issued 10,000 warrants to the lessor at an exercise price of $1.55 per share for a period of two years, valued at $15,486 as calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used under the Black-Scholes pricing model included: a risk free rate of 4.75%; volatility of 293%; an expected exercise term of 5 years; and no annual dividend rate. The Company has capitalized and is amortizing the value of the warrants over the life of the lease and the remaining unamortized value of the warrants has been recorded in other long-term assets. As of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the unamortized balance of the value of the warrants issued to the lessor was $6,522 and $10,074, respectively, and is included in other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Litigation

The Company becomes a party to product litigation in the normal course of business. The Company accrues for open claims based on its historical experience and available insurance coverage. In the opinion of management, there are no legal matters involving the Company that would have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s condition or results of operations.

Indemnities and Guarantees

The Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which it may be required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation to certain actions or transactions. The Company indemnifies its directors, officers, employees and agents, as permitted under the laws of the States of California and Nevada. In connection with its facility lease, the Company has indemnified its lessor for certain claims arising from the use of the facility. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies, and is generally tied to the life of the agreement. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide for any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated nor incurred any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
 
NOTE 6 - LINE OF CREDIT

On November 5, 2007, the Company secured financing for a $200,000 one-year revolving line of credit (the “Line”) secured by a $200,000 Certificate of Deposit with Bank of the West. All borrowings under the revolving line of credit bear variable interest based on the prime rate less 1% per annum (totaling 4.0% as of September 30, 2008). The Company utilizes the funds advanced from the Line for capital equipment purchases to support the launch of the Company’s newly developed product, the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper. As of September 30, 2008, the outstanding balance of the Line was $93,307, including accrued interest expense of $307. During the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company made payments against the Line of $22,500 and recorded interest expense of $2,118 related to the Line.  No funds were drawn against the Line during the six months ended September 30, 2008.  On November 6, 2008, the Company secured a one-year renewal of the Line for a reduced amount of $100,000 which is secured by a $100,000 Certificate of Deposit with Bank of the West (see Note 12).

NOTE 7 - NOTES PAYABLE

As of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the Company had aggregate principal balances of $1,189,500 and $1,249,500, respectively, in outstanding unsecured indebtedness owed to five related parties, including four former members of the board of directors, representing working capital advances made to the Company from February 2001 through March 2005. These notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and provide for aggregate monthly principal payments which began April 1, 2006 of $2,500, and which increased by an aggregate of $2,500 every six months to a maximum of $10,000 per month.  As of September 30, 2008, the aggregate principal payments totaled $10,000 per month.  Any remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest is due at maturity on various dates through March 1, 2015.

Related-party interest expense under these notes was $36,738 and $39,777 for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Accrued interest, which is included in related party notes payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, related to these notes amounted to $519,322 and $482,584 as of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively. As of September 30, 2008, the Company had not made the required payments under the related-party notes which were due on July 1, August 1, and September 1, 2008. However, pursuant to the note agreements, the Company has a 120-day grace period to pay missed payments before the notes are in default. On October 31, 2008, the Company paid the July 1 note payments due on these related-party notes. Management expects to continue to pay all payments due prior to the expiration of the 120-day grace periods.

In August 2006, Peter Berry, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, agreed to convert his deferred salaries to a long-term note payable. Under the terms of this note, the Company began to make monthly payments of $3,000 to Mr. Berry in January 2007. In January 2008, these monthly payments increased to $6,000 and will remain at that amount until the loan is fully paid in December 2010. Interest of 6% per annum on the outstanding principal balance of the note began to accrue on January 1, 2008.  As of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the total amount of deferred salaries and accrued interest under this arrangement was $170,772 and $201,115, respectively, of which $98,772 and $129,115, respectively, is recorded as a long-term liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Interest expense related to this note was $5,657 for the six months ended September 30, 2008.  Accrued interest related to this note payable amounted to $8,822 and $3,165 at September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively, and is included in the note payable to officer in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The Company had a non-interest bearing note payable to a third party for $77,304, which was due in April 2003. The Company made the final payments of $5,000 in April 2008 and $7,000 in May 2008. As of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the remaining unpaid balance on this note was $0 and $12,000, respectively.

NOTE 8 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE

On October 1, 2007, the Company issued to four accredited investors Original Issue Discount 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “October Debentures”) having a principal face amount of $4,707,705 and generating gross proceeds of $4,001,551.  After accounting for commissions, legal and other fees, the net proceeds to the Company totaled $3,436,551.

In accordance with the Convertible Debenture Agreement as amended on February 19, 2008, the principal amount under the October Debentures is payable to the investors in 24 monthly redemption payments which commenced on March 31, 2008.  The Company may elect to make principal redemptions in shares of common stock.   If the Company elects to make principal redemptions in common stock, the conversion rate will be the lesser of (a) the Conversion Price (as defined below), or (b) 85% of the lesser of (i) the average of the volume weighted average price for the ten consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the applicable date a principal redemption is due or (ii) the average of such price for the ten consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the date the applicable shares are issued and delivered if such delivery is after the principal redemption due date. 

At any time, holders may convert the October Debentures into shares of common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.84, subject to adjustment in the event the Company issues common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price below the conversion price as such price may be in effect at various times (the “Conversion Price”).  As of September 30, 2008, no adjustment has been made to the fixed conversion price.  On January 31, 2008, $100,000 of the principal balance of the October Debentures was converted by an investor.  Using the conversion rate of $0.84 per share per the terms of the Convertible Debenture Agreement, 119,047 shares of registered common stock were issued to the investor.
 
Quarterly interest payments for these convertible debentures are payable in cash and commenced on January 1, 2008.  The Company may elect to make interest payments in shares of common stock provided, generally, that it is not in default under the Debentures and it has met certain equity conditions prior to the due date of the interest payments.   If the Company elects to make interest payments in common stock, the conversion rate will be the lesser of (a) the Conversion Price (as defined below), or (b) 85% of the lesser of (i) the average of the volume weighted average price for the ten consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the applicable date an interest payment is due or (ii) the average of such price for the ten consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the date the applicable shares are issued and delivered if such delivery is after the interest payment date. As of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the Company had zero and $5,446, respectively, of accrued interest on the October Debentures included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and recorded a total of $147,313 in interest expense related to the face rate of interest in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the six month period ended September 30, 2008.

The October Debentures rank senior to all of the Company’s current and future indebtedness and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.

In connection with the financing transaction, the Company issued to the investors five-year warrants to purchase 5,604,411 shares of common stock at $0.92 per share and two-year warrants to purchase 1,401,103 shares of common stock at $0.90 per share and 1,401,103 shares of common stock at $1.60 per share (collectively, the “October Warrants”). Valuation of the October Warrants as calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model equaled $7,838,791 on the date of grant.

Under EITF Issue No. 00-27, the value of the October Warrants issued to the investors was calculated relative to the total amount of the debt offering. The relative fair value of the October Warrants issued to the investors was determined to be $2,941,267, or 62.5% of the total offering. The relative fair value of the October Warrants, along with the effective beneficial conversion feature of the debt ($3,557,761) and the face value discount given to the investors ($706,154), totaled in excess of the face amount of the October Debentures. As such, the Company recorded a debt discount equal to the face value of the October Debentures of $4,707,705.
 
Financing fees of $565,000, including placement agent fees of $440,000 and legal and other fees of $125,000, were paid in cash from the gross proceeds of the October Debentures. Joseph Stevens and Company (“Joseph Stevens”) acted as sole placement agent in connection with the financing transaction. Also in connection with the financing transaction, the Company issued Joseph Stevens three-year warrants to purchase 560,364 shares of the Company’s common stock exerciseable at $0.84 per share. The value of the warrants issued to Joseph Stevens as calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model was $525,071.  The total financing fees of $1,090,071 related to the financing transaction were allocated to the equity and debt components of the financing. The Company recorded 62.5% of the financing fees ($681,294) as costs related to the issuance of the equity instruments, and as such has netted those amounts against additional paid-in capital as of the date of the financing. The remaining 37.5% ($408,777) was recorded as deferred financing costs.  Prior to the amendment of the October Debentures on April 30, 2008 discussed below, the Company recorded interest expense of $13,573 related to the amortization of these deferred financing costs during the six months ended September 30, 2008.  In connection with the amendment of the October Debentures on April 30, 2008, the unamortized balance of the deferred financing costs was written off (see below).

In connection with the October Debentures, the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors that required the Company to register the shares issuable upon conversion of the principal amounts of the October Debentures and exercise of the October Warrants.  Pursuant to the registration rights agreement, on November 9, 2007 the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form SB-2.  On January 25, 2008, the registration statement, as amended, became effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Per the terms of the registration rights agreement, following the effective date of the registration statement, the Company may force conversion of the October Debentures if the market price of the common stock is at least $2.52 for 30 consecutive days.  The Company may also prepay the October Debentures in cash at 120% of the then outstanding principal balance.

On March 31, 2008, the Company issued 224,176 shares of registered common stock for principal redemptions totaling $188,308 and 110,501 shares of common stock for March 2008 interest payments totaling $92,821 to the holders of the October Debentures using the conversion rate of $0.84.  In April 2008, the Company was notified by the holders that the qualifying equity conditions had not been fully satisfied with relation to the conversion of the principal and interest payments made by the Company on March 31, 2008.  As a result, in April 2008 the Company rescinded and cancelled 140,143 shares of registered common stock for principal redemptions totaling $117,720 and submitted the cash payments in the same amounts to those holders.  Pursuant to a one-time waiver agreement with one of the Debenture holders, the remaining $70,588 of the March 31 principal redemption was adjusted to reflect a one-time conversion rate of $0.70 and, in April 2008 the Company issued the holder 16,807 additional registered shares in consideration.   Also in consideration of the one-time waiver with the October Debenture holders, the full amount of the March 31, 2008 interest payments were adjusted to reflect a one-time conversion price of $0.70 and in April 2008 the Company issued the October Debenture holders 22,099 additional common stock shares.  The additional interest expense for the October Debentures of $5,446 related to the one-time conversion rate adjustments of the March 31, 2008 principal and interest payments from $0.84 to $0.70 was included in accrued interest for the October Debentures as of March 31, 2008.

On April 30, 2008, the Convertible Debenture Agreement was amended to reflect changes to the monthly redemption of principal and changes to the October Warrants issued with the original October Debentures.  Under the terms of the April 30, 2008 Amendment (the “April Amendment”), the monthly principal redemptions were suspended until August 1, 2008 and the remaining principal due on the October Debentures will be paid thereafter on the first date of each month in equal installments through March 27, 2010, the expiration date. Further, the April Amendment changes the exercise price of the October Warrants issued under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and related Agreements from $0.90, $0.92 and $1.60 to $0.60 each. The number of shares to be purchased under each of the October Warrants was also adjusted under the terms of the April Amendment so that the original dollar amounts to be raised by the Company through the exercise of each of the October Warrants remained the same.

The April Amendment to the October Debentures has been accounted for by the Company as an extinguishment of debt in accordance with EITF Issue No. 96-19, Debtor’s Accounting for a Modification or Exchange of Debt Instruments, and EITF Issue No. 06-6, Debtor's Accounting For a Modification or Exchange of Convertible Debt Instruments.  The Company determined that the net present value of the cash flows under the terms of the April Amendment was more than 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the original October Debentures agreement.  Due to the substantial difference, the Company determined an extinguishment of debt had occurred with the April Amendment.  Accordingly, the Company recorded the amended October Debentures at their fair value of $1,805,668 at the date of extinguishment.  The difference between the fair value of the amended October Debentures and the carrying value of the original October Debentures at the date of debt extinguishment amounting to $730,400 was recorded as part of the loss on debt extinguishment for the six months ended September 30, 2008.

The increase in value of the October Warrants arising from the change in conversion price and the additional number of warrants issued of $5,858,344 has been accounted for as a payment to the debt holders in connection with the debt extinguishment and included in the loss on debt extinguishment for the six months ended September 30, 2008.  As a result of the April Amendment, unamortized deferred financing costs of $312,197 arising from the original issuance of the October Debentures were written off and were included in the loss on debt extinguishment for the six months ended September 30, 2008.  There were no debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the April Amendment.

On August 29, 2008, the Company entered into an “Amendment to Debentures, Agreement and Waiver” (the “August Amendment”) with BridgePointe Master Fund, Ltd. and the Enable Funds (the “2007 Debenture Holders”), to amend the October 2007 Convertible Debenture previously amended on April 30, 2008. The August Amendment waives quarterly interest payments that would otherwise have been due on October 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 and defers the monthly redemption dates from July 31, 2008 through November 30, 2008  to commence upon December 31, 2008, and terminating upon full redemption of the October Debenture.  In consideration for entering into the August Amendment, the outstanding principal amount of  the October Debentures was increased to an amount equal to 115% of the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of as of August 29, 2008, the date of the August Amendment, plus (ii) an amount equal to the additional amount of interest that would have accrued on the September 2007 Debenture from July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. There were no changes to the warrants related to the October Debentures as a result of the August Amendment.  Based on the terms of the August Amendment, the principal balances of the October Debentures increased by $866,202 to $5,285,599.

The August Amendment to the October Debentures has been accounted for by the Company as an extinguishment of debt in accordance with EITF Issue No. 96-19 and EITF Issue No. 06-6.  The Company determined that the net present value of the cash flows under the terms of the August Amendment was more than 10 percent different from the present value of the remaining cash flows under the terms of the October Debentures agreement as previously amended in April 2008.  Due to the substantial difference, the Company determined an extinguishment of debt had occurred with the August Amendment.  Accordingly, the Company recorded the amended October Debentures at their fair value of $2,203,086 at the date of extinguishment.  The difference between the fair value of the amended October Debentures and the carrying value of the original October Debentures at the date of debt extinguishment amounting to $91,727 was recorded as a gain on debt extinguishment for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

A debt discount of $3,082,511 was recorded in connection with the August Amendment to the October Debentures which includes $117,851 related to the interest that would have accrued from September to December 2008.  This portion of the debt discount is being amortized through December 2008, while the remaining $2,964,660 of the debt discount is being amortized through the maturity dates of the October Debentures.  As of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the unamortized balance of the debt discount was $2,897,013 and $3,522,357, respectively.  During the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded additional interest expense of $791,948 related to the amortization of the debt discount associated with the amended October Debentures.

The principal amount under the May Debenture is payable in 23 monthly payments of $54,348 beginning January 31, 2009.  Interest payments are payable in cash quarterly commencing on January 1, 2008. The Company may elect to make principal and interest payments in shares of common stock provided, generally, that the Company is not in default under the May Debenture, it has met certain equity conditions prior to the due dates and there is then in effect a registration statement with respect to the shares issuable upon conversion of the May Debenture.  If the Company elects to make principal or interest payments in common stock, the conversion rate will be the lesser of (a) the Conversion Price (as defined below), or (b) 85% of the lesser of (i) the average of the volume weighted average price for the ten consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the applicable date an interest payment is due or (ii) the average of such price for the ten consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the date the applicable shares are issued and delivered if such delivery is after the interest payment date.  For the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded interest expense of $33,333 related to the face rate of interest, all of which is included in accrued interest at September 30, 2008.

At any time, the holder may convert the May Debenture into shares of common stock at a fixed conversion price of $0.84, subject to adjustment in the event the Company issues common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price below the conversion price as such price may be in effect at various times (the “Conversion Price”).  As of September 30, 2008, no adjustment has been made to the fixed conversion price.

Following the effective date of the registration statement described below, the Company may force conversion of the May Debenture if the market price of the common stock is at least $2.52 for 30 consecutive days. The Company may also prepay the May Debenture in cash at 120% of the then outstanding principal balance.

The May Debenture ranks senior to all current and future indebtedness of the Company, with the exception of the October Debentures that were issued by the Company in October 2007 which rank senior to the May Debenture.   The May Debenture is secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.  As part of the transaction, the Company entered into a waiver and subordination agreement with the holders of the October Debentures.

In connection with the financing transaction, the Company issued to the investor five-year warrants to purchase 1,488,095 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.92 per share and five-year warrants to purchase 1,488,095 shares of common stock at $1.35 per share (collectively, the “May Warrants”).

Under EITF Issue No. 00-27, the value of the May Warrants issued to the investors was calculated relative to the total amount of the debt offering. The relative fair value of the May Warrants issued to the investors was determined to be $815,471, or 65.2% of the total offering. The relative fair value of the May Warrants, along with the effective beneficial conversion feature of the debt ($434,529) and the face value discount given to the investors ($187,500), totaled in excess of the face amount of the May Debenture. As such, the Company recorded a debt discount equal to the face value of the May Debenture of $1,250,000. The debt discount is being amortized by the Company through the maturity date of the May Debenture. As of September 30, 2008, the unamortized balance of the debt discount was $1,083,332. During the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded additional interest expense of $166,668 related to the amortization of the debt discount.

The Company has recorded 65.2% of the financing fees ($201,732) as costs related to the issuance of the equity instruments, and as such has netted those amounts against additional paid-in capital as of the date of the financing. The remaining 34.8% ($107,673) has been recorded as deferred financing fees on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2008. The deferred financing fees are being amortized by the Company through the maturity date of the May Debenture on a straight-line basis which approximates the effective interest method. During the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded additional interest expense of $14,356 related to the amortization of the deferred financing fees.

All securities were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration in reliance on Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and based on the investors’ representations that they are “accredited” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

General Overview

The following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2008 (unaudited) and March 31, 2008 (audited) and the related consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the three and six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and the related notes thereto (see Item 1. Financial Statements) as well as the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2008 and 2007 and for the years then ended included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008.
 
Page 32

 
The Company cautions readers that important facts and factors described in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis Of Financial Condition and Results of Operations elsewhere in this document sometimes have affected, and in the future could affect, the Company’s actual results, and could cause the Company’s actual results during fiscal year 2009 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of the Company.
 
Going Concern
 
As reported in the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on the Company’s March 31, 2008 and 2007 consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since inception.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
 
There are significant uncertainties which negatively affect the Company’s operations. These are principally related to (i) the limited distribution network for the Company’s reusable product line, (ii) the expected launch of the new CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System, (iii) the absence of any significant, long-term commitments or firm orders from key customers in the Company’s target markets for the reusable or the one-way shippers, (iv) the success in bringing products concurrently under development to market with the Company’s key customers. Moreover, there is no assurance as to when, if ever, the Company will be able to conduct the Company’s operations on a profitable basis. The Company’s limited sales to date for the Company’s reusable product, the lack of any purchase requirements in the existing distribution agreements and those currently under negotiations, make it impossible to identify any trends in the Company’s business prospects.
 
The Company has not generated significant revenues from operations and has no assurance of any future significant revenues. The Company incurred net losses of $9,791,774, including a $6,811,214 loss on debt extinguishment, during the six months ended September 30, 2008 and net losses of $1,569,293 during the three month period ended September 30, 2008. In addition, the Company used cash of $1,584,022 in its operating activities during the six months ended September 30, 2008. Further, the Company has a working capital deficit of $1,422,284 as of September 30, 2008. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

On October 1, 2007, the Company received net proceeds of $3,436,551 from the issuance of convertible debentures (see Note 8).  On May 30, 2008, the Company received net proceeds of $870,625 from an additional convertible debenture financing (see Note 8).  As a result of the recent financings, the Company had an aggregate cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balance of approximately $1,130,000 as of November 10, 2008 which will be used to fund the sales and marketing efforts as well as provide the working capital required for the Company’s launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper and is expected to provide the Company with the means for eventual achievement of sustained profitable operations and the ability to continue as a going concern.

Page 33

 
Management is committed to utilizing the proceeds of these recent financings to fully execute its business plan and grow at the desired rate to achieve sustainable profitable operations.  To further facilitate the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern the Company’s management has begun taking the following steps:
 
1)
Focusing all efforts on the successful launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper. Since funds have been made available management efforts have been focused on utilizing all resources towards furthering the sales efforts and the acquisition of raw materials to provide adequate inventory levels and towards the expansion of manufacturing and processing capabilities to support the launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper.
 
2)
Continuing to minimize operating and financing expenditures as necessary to ensure the availability of funds until revenues generated and cash collections adequately support the continued business operations.  The Company’s largest expenses for the six month period ended September 30, 2008, relate  to non-cash expenses including (i) $6,811,214 non-cash loss on extinguishment of debt related to amending the October Debenture (see Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements), ii) $986,515 non-cash expense included in interest expense relating to the amortization of discounts and deferred financing fees on convertible debentures, and (iii) non-cash expense recorded in selling, general and administrative costs of $443,026 related to the valuations of common stock shares issued in lieu of cash for consulting services and the valuation of warrants issued to various consultants, directors, and employees.  For the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company also incurred cash expenses of (i) approximately $69,460 for the audit fees and consulting services related to the filing of the Company’s annual and quarterly reports, compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley requirements, and for the filing of the Company’s annual tax returns and (ii) approximately $163,478 included in research and development costs related to the software development for the web based system to be used with the  CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper.  The remaining operating expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2008 related primarily to minimal overhead costs including personnel costs, rent and utilities and meeting the legal and reporting requirements of a public company.
 
3)
Utilizing part-time consultants and temporary employee and requiring employees to manage multiple roles and responsibilities whenever possible as the Company has historically utilized in its efforts to keep operating costs low.
 
4)
Continuing to require that key employees and the Company’s Board of Directors receive Company stock in lieu of cash as a portion of their compensation in an effort to minimize monthly cash flow. With this strategy, the Company has established a critical mass of experienced business professionals capable of taking the Company forward.
 
5)
Maintaining current levels for sales, marketing, engineering, scientific and operating personnel and cautiously and gradually adding critical and key personnel only as necessary to support the successful launch and expected revenue growth of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper and any further expansion of the Company’s product offerings in the reusable and one-way cryogenic shipping markets, leading it to additional revenues and profits.
 
6)
Adding other expenses such as customer service, administrative and operations staff only commensurate with producing increased revenues.
 
7)
Focusing current research and development efforts only on final and future development, production and distribution of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System.
 
8)
Increasing sales and marketing resource efforts to focus on marketing and sales research into the bio-pharmaceutical, clinical trials and cold-chain distribution industries in order to ensure a successful full launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System.

Research and Development 
 
The Company has completed the research and development efforts associated with phase one of its new product line, the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System, a line of use-and-return dry cryogenic shippers, for the transport of biological materials. The Company continues to provide ongoing research associated with the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System, as it develops improvements on both the manufacturing processes and product materials for the purpose of achieving additional cost efficiencies. As with any research effort, there is uncertainty and risk associated with whether these efforts will produce results in a timely manner so as to enhance the Company’s market position. For the six months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, research and development costs were $216,244 and $50,300, respectively. Company sponsored research and development costs related to future products and the testing and design modifications for enhancing performance and minimizing costs of present products are expensed as incurred and include such costs as salaries, employee benefits, costs determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for options issued to the Scientific Advisory Board, prototype design and materials costs and the development costs related to the software development for the web based system to be used with the  CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company bases its 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 of 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, however, in the past the estimates and assumptions have been materially accurate and have not required any significant changes. Specific sensitivity of each of the estimates and assumptions to change based on other outcomes that are reasonably likely to occur and would have a material effect is identified individually in each of the discussions of the critical accounting policies described below. Should the Company experience significant changes in the estimates or assumptions which would cause a material change to the amounts used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, material quantitative information will be made available to investors as soon as it is reasonably available.
 
The Company believes the following critical accounting policies, among others, affect the Company’s more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements:
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on specific identification of customer accounts and the Company’s best estimate of the likelihood of potential loss, taking into account such factors as the financial condition and payment history of major customers. The Company evaluates the collectibility of the Company’s receivables at least quarterly. Such costs of allowance for doubtful accounts are subject to estimates based on the historical actual costs of bad debt experienced, total accounts receivable amounts, age of accounts receivable and any knowledge of the customers’ ability or inability to pay outstanding balances. If the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, resulting in impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The differences could be material and could significantly impact cash flows from operating activities.
 
Page 35

 
Inventory. The Company writes down its inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand, future pricing and market conditions. Inventory reserve costs are subject to estimates made by the Company based on historical experience, inventory quantities, age of inventory and any known expectations for product changes. If actual future demands, future pricing or market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required and the differences could be material. Such differences might significantly impact cash flows from operating activities. Once established, write-downs are considered permanent adjustments to the cost basis of the obsolete or unmarketable inventories.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Company assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets by determining whether the depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered through projected undiscounted cash flows. The amount of long-lived asset impairment is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations in the period in which long-lived asset impairment is determined by management. Manufacturing fixed assets are subject to obsolescence potential as result of changes in customer demands, manufacturing process changes and changes in materials used. The Company is not currently aware of any such changes that would cause impairment to the value of its manufacturing fixed assets.

Deferred Financing Costs.  Deferred financing costs represent costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the convertible notes payable.  Deferred financing costs are being amortized over the term of the financing instrument on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method.
 
Accrued Warranty Costs. The Company estimates the costs of the standard warranty, included with the reusable shippers at no additional cost to the customer for a period up to one year. These estimated costs are recorded as accrued warranty costs at the time of product sale. These estimated costs are subject to estimates made by the Company based on the historical actual warranty costs, number of products returned for warranty repair and length of warranty coverage.
 
Revenue Recognition. Product sales revenue is recognized upon passage of title to customers, typically upon shipment of product. Any provision for discounts and estimated returns are accounted for in the period the related sales are recorded. Products are generally sold with right of warranty repair for a one year period but with no right of return. Estimated costs of warranty repairs are recorded as accrued warranty costs as described above. Products shipped to customers for speculation purposes are not considered sold and no revenue is recorded by the Company until sales acceptance is acknowledged by the customer.
 
Stock-Based Compensation.    The Company accounts for equity issuances to non-employees in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, and Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue No. 96-18, Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods and Services. All transactions in which goods or services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments are accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date used to determine the fair value of the equity instrument issued is the earlier of the date on which the third-party performance is complete or the date on which it is probable that performance will occur.
 
Page 36

 
On April 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors related to the Company’s 2000 Equity Incentive Plan based on estimated fair values. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method, which requires the application of the accounting standard as of April 1, 2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2007. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in our consolidated statement of operations. As stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of operations for each of the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures. SFAS No. 123(R) requires forfeitures to be estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The estimated average forfeiture rate for the each of the three and six month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 was zero as the Company has not had a significant history of forfeitures.
 
Convertible Debentures.  If the conversion feature of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”).  A BCF is recorded by the Company as a debt discount pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency Adjustable Conversion Ratio,” (“EITF 98-05”) and EITF Issue No. 00-27, “Application of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” (“EITF 00-27”).  In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of the discount related to the BCF.  The Company amortizes the discount to interest expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method (see Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements).
 
Results of Operations
 
Three months ended September 30, 2008 compared to three months ended September 30, 2007:
 
Net Sales. During the three months ended September 30, 2008, the Company generated $5,982 from shipper sales compared to revenues of $32,447 in the same period of the prior year, a decrease of $26,465 (82%). This revenue decrease is primarily as a result of the prior year’s sales of the Company’s reusable products which are no longer in production compared to the current year’s new revenues from introductory sales from the initial launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System.  The overall low revenues are the result of the Company’s shift in its sales and marketing focus initiated during fiscal year 2006 to allow for the planning of the introduction of the one-way shipper into the bio-pharmaceutical and bio-tech industry sectors. This shift allowed the marketing and sales efforts to focus on research into the bio-pharmaceutical, clinical trials and cold-chain distribution industries in order to better position the Company for a timely and successful launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System.
 
Gross Profit/Loss. Gross loss for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 increased by $78,709 (157%) to $128,971 compared to $50,262 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007. The increase in the gross loss is mainly attributable to increased manufacturing overhead costs incurred as the Company increased space, added personnel and incurred additional equipment maintenance and repair and depreciation costs related to the initial production of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper and to the prior year’s temporary production shut-down as a result of the relocation and restructuring of the Company’s production operations in Lake Forest, CA initiated in mid-September 2007, resulting in lower manufacturing overhead costs in 2007. During both periods, cost of sales exceeded sales due to plant under utilization.
 
Page 37

 
Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 increased $52,244 (63%) to $134,953 from $82,709 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 primarily as the result of increased manufacturing overhead costs incurred as the Company increased space, added personnel and incurred additional equipment maintenance and repair costs related to the planning and preparation for production of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper and to the prior year’s temporary  production shut-down for the relocation and restructuring of the Company’s production operations in Lake Forest, CA initiated in mid-September 2007, resulting in lower manufacturing overhead costs in 2007.
 
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $243,242 (45%) to $779,691 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $536,449 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 due primarily to a $200,836 (41%) increase in general and administrative expenses from $486,108 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 to $686,944 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 and by a $42,406 (84%) increase in sales and marketing expenses from $50,341 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 to $92,747 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008. The increase in the general and administrative expenses is due to increased accounting fees related to consulting and independent auditor costs related to SEC compliance requirements including Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, increased consulting costs related to the valuation of shares and warrants issued in lieu of cash payments for services, increased insurance costs and increased travel and related meeting costs associated with the planning for the launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper.  The increase in sales and marketing expenses is related to increased travel, consulting and advertising costs associated with the initial launch efforts of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper.
 
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $83,740 (386%) to $105,453 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $21,713 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 primarily due to the consulting costs associated with the software development for the web based system to be used with the  CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper and to other research and development activity related to the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System, as the Company strives to develop improvements in both the manufacturing processes and product materials for the purpose of achieving additional product cost efficiencies.
 
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $637,453 to $658,099 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $20,646 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007. This increase is primarily due to $540,341 of amortized debt discount, $10,767 of amortized financing fees, and $83,924 of accrued interest, all related to the convertible debentures issued in October 2007 and May 2008. These increases were offset by a reduction in interest expense for related party notes payable and note payable to officer as the result of the payments made against the principal note balances.
 
Interest Income. The Company recorded interest income of $11,194 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to zero for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 as the result of increased cash balances related to the funds received in connection with the convertible debentures issued in October 2007 and May 2008.

Gain on Extinguishment of Debt. The Company incurred a gain on extinguishment of debt of $91,727 during the three months ended September 30, 2008 as the result of the August 29, 2008 Amendment of the October Debentures which provided for an increase of $866,202 in the principal balance of the October Debentures for the interest that would have been paid September 31, 2008 and December 31, 2008 and for 15% of the aforementioned interest and the outstanding principal as of the date of the amendment.  The gain consists of a combination of the $866,202 increase in principal offset by the $899,004 increase in the unamortized discount balance and the previously accrued interest of $58,925 related to the October Debentures to reflect the present value of the debentures as of August 29, 2008 (see Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements).  There was no gain or loss on extinguishment of debt in the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Net Loss. As a result of the factors described above, the net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased by $940,223  to $1,569,293 or ($0.04) per share compared to $629,070 or ($0.02) per share for the three months ended September 30, 2007.  Loss from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2008 increased $405,691 to $1,014,115 compared to $608,424 for the three months ended September 30, 2007.

Six months ended September 30, 2008 compared to six months ended September 30, 2007:
 
Net Sales. During the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company generated $19,406 from shipper sales compared to revenues of $37,988 in the same period of the prior year, an decrease of $18,582 (49%). This revenue decrease is primarily as a result of the prior year’s sales of the Company’s reusable products which are no longer in production compared to the current year’s new revenues from introductory sales from the initial launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System.  The overall low revenues are the result of the Company’s shift in its sales and marketing focus initiated during fiscal year 2006 to allow for the planning of the introduction of the one-way shipper into the bio-pharmaceutical and bio-tech industry sectors. This shift allowed the marketing and sales efforts to focus on research into the bio-pharmaceutical, clinical trials and cold-chain distribution industries in order to better position the Company for a timely and successful launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System.
 
Gross Profit/Loss. Gross loss for the six month period ended September 30, 2008 increased by $120,897 (107%) to $233,925 compared to $113,028 for the six month period ended September 30, 2007. The increase in the gross loss is mainly attributable to increased manufacturing overhead costs incurred as the Company increased space, added personnel and incurred additional equipment maintenance and repair and depreciation costs related to the initial production of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper and to the prior year’s temporary production shut-down as a result of the relocation and restructuring of the Company’s production operations in Lake Forest, CA initiated in mid-September 2007, resulting in lower manufacturing overhead costs in 2007. During both periods, cost of sales exceeded sales due to plant under utilization.
 
Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales for the six month period ended September 30, 2008 increased $102,315 (68%) to $253,331 from $151,016 for the six month period ended September 30, 2007 primarily as the result of increased manufacturing overhead costs incurred as the Company increased space, added personnel and incurred additional equipment maintenance and repair costs related to the planning and preparation for production of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper and to the prior year’s temporary  production shut-down for the relocation and restructuring of the Company’s production operations in Lake Forest, CA initiated in mid-September 2007, resulting in lower manufacturing overhead costs in 2007.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $208,727 (18%) to $1,339,731 for the six month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $1,131,004 for the six month period ended September 30, 2007 due primarily to a $94,691 (9%) increase in general and administrative expenses from $1,029,457 for the six month period ended September 30, 2007 to $1,124,148 for the six month period ended September 30, 2008 and by a $114,036 (112%) increase in sales and marketing expenses from $101,547 for the three month period ended September 30, 2007 to $215,583 for the three month period ended September 30, 2008. The increase in the general and administrative expenses is due to increased accounting fees related to consulting and independent auditor costs related to SEC compliance requirements including Sarbanes-Oxley compliance, increased consulting costs related to the valuation of shares and warrants issued in lieu of cash payments for services, increased insurance costs and increased travel and related meeting costs associated with the planning for the launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper.  The increase in sales and marketing expenses is related to increased travel, consulting and advertising costs associated with the initial launch efforts of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper.
 
Research and Development Expenses. Research and development expenses increased by $165,944 (330%) to $216,244 for the six month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $50,300 for the six month period ended September 30, 2007 primarily due to the consulting costs associated with the software development for the web based system to be used with the  CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper and to other research and development activity related to the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System, as the Company strives to develop improvements in both the manufacturing processes and product materials for the purpose of achieving additional product cost efficiencies.
 
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $1,135,222 to $1,213,868 for the six month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to $78,646 for the six month period ended September 30, 2007. This increase is primarily due to $958,616 of amortized debt discount, $27,929 of amortized financing fees, and $180,646 of accrued interest, all related to the convertible debentures issued in October 2007 and May 2008. These increases were offset by a reduction in interest expense for related party notes payable and note payable to officer as the result of the payments made against the principal note balances.
 
Interest Income. The Company recorded interest income of $24,008 for the six month period ended September 30, 2008 as compared to zero for the six month period ended September 30, 2007 as the result of increased cash balances related to the funds received in connection with the convertible debentures issued in October 2007 and May 2008.

Gain (Loss) on Extinguishment of Debt. The Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $6,902,941 during the six months ended September 30, 2008 as the result of the April 30, 2008 Amendment of the October Debentures which provided for a six month deferral of principal payments.  The loss consists of a combination of the $5,858,344 increase in the fair market value of warrants issued in connection with the October Debentures as a result of the increase in the number of shares to be purchased under each of the October Warrants and to the decrease in the Exercise Price of  October Warrants from $0.90, $0.92 and $1.60 to $0.60 each, the elimination of the April 30, 2008 unamortized balance of deferred financing costs of $312,197 and the $732,400 reduction in the unamortized discount balance related to the October Debentures to reflect the present value of the debentures as of April 30, 2008 (see Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements).  There was no loss on extinguishment of debt in the six months ended September 30, 2007.

The Company incurred a gain on extinguishment of debt of $91,727 during the six months ended September 30, 2008 as the result of the August 29, 2008 Amendment of the October Debentures which provided for an increase of $866,202 in the principal balance of the October Debentures for the interest that would have been paid September 31, 2008 and December 31, 2008 and for 15% of the aforementioned interest and the outstanding principal as of the date of the amendment.  The gain consists of a combination of the $866,202 increase in principal offset by the $899,004 increase in the unamortized discount balance and the previously accrued interest of $58,925  related to the October Debentures to reflect the present value of the debentures as of August 29, 2008 (see Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements).  There was no gain on extinguishment of debt in the six months ended September 30, 2007.

Assets and Liabilities
 
At September 30, 2008, the Company had total assets of $2,438,089 compared to total assets of $3,460,889 at March 31, 2008, a decrease of $1,022,800. The Company’s combined cash balance as of September 30, 2008 was $1,427,242 including restricted cash, a decrease of $1,007,459 compared to $2,434,701 as of March 31, 2008.  During the six month period ended September 30, 2008, cash used in operations of $1,584,022 and cash used in investing activities of $53,676 was offset by cash provided by financing activities of $625,713.  As of November 10, 2008, the Company’s cash on hand was approximately $1,130,000. The decrease in current cash on hand is due to cash used in operations and cash paid for principal and interest payments partially offset by proceeds from convertible debt.
 
Net accounts receivable at September 30, 2008 was $4,473, a decrease of $16,938 (79%) from $21,411 at March 31, 2008. This decrease is due to the revenue decrease during the six months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the six months ended March 31, 2008, primarily as a result of decreased sales of reusable shippers.
 
Net inventories increased $299,393 (246%), to $421,345 as of September 30, 2008, from $121,952 as of March 31, 2008. The increase in inventories is due to the purchases of raw materials during the six months ended September 30, 2008 for the build-up of dewars in finished goods inventory in anticipation of the full launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System. This increase from purchases was partially offset by usages of inventory during the six months ended September 30, 2008 in order to fulfill sales of reusable shippers.
 
Net fixed assets increased $22,489 to $216,341 at September 30, 2008 from $193,852 at March 31, 2008 as a result of increases of $53,043 for purchases of additional production equipment during September 30, 2008 to support the anticipated increased manufacturing operations for the launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System, which was partially offset by $30,554 of depreciation for the six months ended September 30, 2008.

Net intangible assets increased to $1,107 at September 30, 2008 from $474 at March 31, 2008 as a result of fees paid for new trademark applications which are pending approval.
 
The Company has recorded the combined value of $349,834 of the valuation of shares and warrants as calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model issued to Carpe DM under a 36-month consulting agreement to as prepaid expense which is being amortized over the life of the services agreement. As of September 30, 2008, the unamortized balance of the value of the shares and warrants issued to Carpe DM, Inc. was $233,230 of which $116,604 is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets and $116,626 is included as a non-current asset.
 
Net deferred financing fees decreased $232,453 to $93,317 at September 30, 2008 compared to $325,769 at March 31, 2008 due to reductions for the elimination of  the unamortized balance of $312,197 related to the October Debentures due to the extinguishment of debt as of April 30, 2008 and the amortization of $27,929 of deferred financing fees during the six months ended September 30, 2008, which were offset by the addition of $107,673 in deferred financing fees related to the May 2008 Debenture.
 
Total liabilities at September 30, 2008 were $5,059,342, an increase of $1,598,272 (46%) from $3,461,070 as of March 31, 2008.  This increase was mainly due to the recording of the May Debenture, the increase in principal related to the August Amendment of the October Debenture and the amortization of the offsetting debt discounts related to the May and October Debentures.  Accounts payable was $248,805 at September 30, 2008, an increase of $14,507 from $234,298 at March 31, 2008. Accrued expenses decreased $245 to $94,803 at September 30, 2008 from $95,048 at March 31, 2008.

Accrued salaries were $129,878 at September 30, 2008, a decrease of $8,225 (6%) from $138,103 at March 31, 2008.

On October 1, 2007, the Company issued to four accredited investors Original Issue Discount 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “October Debentures”) having a principal face amount of $4,707,705 and generating gross proceeds of $4,001,551.  After accounting for commissions, legal and other fees, the net proceeds to the Company totaled $3,436,551.
 
In connection with the financing transaction, the Company issued to the investors five-year warrants to purchase 5,604,411 shares of common stock at $0.92 per share and two-year warrants to purchase 1,401,103 shares of common stock at $0.90 per share and 1,401,103 shares of common stock at $1.60 per share (collectively, the “October Warrants”). Valuation of these warrants as calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model equaled $7,838,791 on the date of grant.
 
Under EITF Issue No. 00-27, the value of the October Warrants issued to the investors is calculated relative to the total amount of the debt offering. The relative fair value of the October Warrants issued to the investors was determined to be $2,941,267, or 62.5% of the total offering. The relative fair value of the October Warrants, along with the effective beneficial conversion feature of the debt ($3,557,761) and the face value discount given to the investors ($706,154), totaled in excess of the face amount of the October Debentures. As such, the Company recorded a debt discount equal to the face value of the October Debentures of $4,707,705. The debt discount is being amortized by the Company through the maturity dates of the October Debentures. On April 30, 2008, in connection with the deferral of six months of principal payments, the unamortized balance of the debt discount was decreased from $3,375,592 to $ 2,643,192 to reflect the fair value of the convertible debt as of the date of the debt extinguishment, and $732,400 is included in the loss on extinguishment of debt.  As of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the unamortized balance of the debt discount was $2,897,013 and 3,522,357, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded additional interest expense of $791,918 related to the amortization of the debt discount for the October Debentures.

On April 30, 2008, the Convertible Debenture Agreement was amended to reflect changes to the monthly redemption of principal and changes to the October Warrants issued with the original October Debentures.  Under the terms of the April 30, 2008 Amendment (the “April Amendment”), the monthly principal redemptions were suspended until August 1, 2008 and the remaining principal due on the October Debentures will be paid thereafter on the first date of each month in equal installments through March 27, 2010, the expiration date. Further, the April Amendment changes the exercise price of the October Warrants issued under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and related Agreements from $0.90, $0.92 and $1.60 to $0.60 each. The number of shares to be purchased under each of the October Warrants was also adjusted under the terms of the April Amendment so that the original dollar amounts to be raised by the Company through the exercise of each of the October Warrants remained the same.

The Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of $6,902,941 during the six months ended September 30, 2008 as the result of the April 30, 2008 Amendment of the October Debentures which provided for a six month deferral of principal payments.  The loss consists of a combination of the $5,858,344 increase in the fair market value of warrants issued in connection with the October Debentures as a result of the increase in the number of shares to be purchased under each of the October Warrants and to the decrease in the Exercise Price of  October Warrants from $0.90, $0.92 and $1.60 to $0.60 each, the elimination of the April 30, 2008 unamortized balance of deferred financing costs of $312,197 and the $732,400 reduction in the unamortized discount balance related to the October Debentures to reflect the present value of the debentures as of April 30, 2008 (see Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements).

On August 29, 2008, the Company entered into an “Amendment to Debentures, Agreement and Waiver” (the “August Amendment”) with BridgePointe Master Fund, Ltd. and the Enable Funds (the “2007 Debenture Holders”), to amend the October 2007 Convertible Debenture previously amended on April 30, 2008. The August Amendment waives quarterly interest payments that would otherwise been due on October 1, 2008 and January 1, 2009 and defers the monthly redemption dates from July 31, 2008 through November 30, 2008  to commence upon December 31, 2008, and terminating upon full redemption of the October Debenture.  In consideration for entering into the August Amendment, the outstanding principal amount of  the October Debentures was increased to an amount equal to 115% of the sum of (i) the outstanding principal amount of as of August 29, 2008, the date of the August Amendment, plus (ii) an amount equal to the additional amount of interest that would have accrued on the September 2007 Debenture from July 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008. There were no changes to the warrants related to the October Debentures as a result of the August Amendment.  Based on the terms of the August Amendment, the principal balances of the October Debentures increased by $866,202 to $5,285,599.  The difference between the fair value of the amended October Debentures and the carrying value of the original October Debentures at the date of debt extinguishment amounting to $91,727 was recorded as a gain on debt extinguishment for the six months ended September 30, 2008.

Page 42

 
A debt discount of $3,082,511 was recorded in connection with the August Amendment to the October Debentures which includes $117,851 related to the interest that would have accrued from September to December 2008.  This portion of the debt discount is being amortized through December 2008, while the remaining $2,964,660 of the debt discount is being amortized through the maturity dates of the October Debentures.  As of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the unamortized balance of the debt discount was $2,897,013 and $3,522,357, respectively.  During the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded additional interest expense of $791,948 related to the amortization of the debt discount associated with the amended October Debentures.

As of September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, the principal balance of the October Debentures totaled $5,285,599 and $4,419,397, respectively, of which the current portion of $2,973,149 and $1,936,884 is included in the Company’s current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008, respectively. During the six months ended September 30, 2008 the Company recorded interest expense of $147,313 related to the October Debentures (see Note 8 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements).

Under EITF Issue No. 00-27, the value of the May Warrants issued to the investors is calculated relative to the total amount of the debt offering. The relative fair value of the May Warrants issued to the investors was determined to be $815,471, or 65.2% of the total offering. The relative fair value of the May Warrants, along with the effective beneficial conversion feature of the debt ($434,529) and the face value discount given to the investors ($187,500), totaled in excess of the face amount of the May Debenture. As such, the Company recorded a debt discount equal to the face value of the May Debenture of $1,250,000. The debt discount is being amortized by the Company through the maturity date of the May Debenture. As of September 30, 2008, the unamortized balance of the debt discount was $1,083,332. During the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company recorded additional interest expense of $166,668 related to the amortization of the debt discount  (see Note 8 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements).

Current portion of related party notes payable was $150,000 at September 30, 2008 and March 31, 2008 in accordance with the terms of the promissory notes.

Long-term related party notes payable decreased $23,262 to $1,558,822 at September 30, 2008 from $1,582,084 at March 31, 2008 due to aggregate payments made of $60,000 against the principal note balances which were offset by additional interest accrued of $36,738 for the six month period ended September 30, 2008.
 
Notes payable to officer decreased $30,343 from $129,115 as of March 31, 2008 to $98,772 as of September 30, 2008 related to principal payments of $36,000 which were offset by additional interest accrued of $5,675 for the six months ended September 30, 2008.

Item 4T. Controls and Procedures
 
As of September 30, 2008, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and procedures were effective. No significant changes were made in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to September 30, 2008.
 
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that as of September 30, 2008, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating to the Company (or the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC, subject to the various limitation on effectiveness set forth below under the heading , “LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS,” such that the information relating to the Company, required to be disclosed in SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
 
LIMITATIONS ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS
 
The Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures on our internal control over financial reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, and/or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
The Company becomes a party to product litigation in the normal course of business.  The Company accrues for open claims based on its historical experience and available insurance coverage.  In the opinion of management, there are no legal matters involving the Company that would have a material adverse effect upon the Company’s condition or results of operations.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
 
During the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued a total of 139,722 shares of restricted common stock in lieu of fees paid for services performed by various consultants.  Based on the underlying stock trading values as of the agreement dates, these shares were issued at an average value of $0.72 per share for a total recorded cost of $105,669 which is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2008.

During the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued 82,693 shares of common stock resulting from exercises of stock options and warrants at an average price of $0.04 per share for proceeds of $3,308 and issued 150,022 shares of common stock from cashless exercises of a total of 157,000 warrants.

During the six months ended September 30, 2008, the Company issued a total of 88,600 warrants to various board members, advisory board members, and employees to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an average exercise price of $0.92 per share.  The exercise prices of these warrants are equal to the fair values of the Company’s shares as of the dates of each grant.  The Company has determined the aggregate fair value of the issued warrants, based on the Black-Scholes pricing model, to be approximately $337,358 as of the dates of each grant.  The fair market value of the warrants has been recorded as consulting and compensation expense and is included in selling, general and administrative expenses for the six months ended September 30, 2008.

In connection with the May Debenture financing transaction, the Company issued to the investor five-year warrants to purchase 1,488,095 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.92 per share and five-year warrants to purchase 1,488,095 shares of common stock at $1.35 per share (see Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements).  Also in connection with the May 2008 debenture financing transaction the Company issued National Securities Corporation five year warrants to purchase 148,810 shares of the Company’s common stock at $0.84 per share (see Note 8 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements).
 
On April 30, 2008, the Convertible Debenture Agreement was amended to reflect changes to the monthly redemption of principal and changes to the October Warrants issued with the original October Debentures.  Under the terms of the April 30, 2008 Amendment (the "Amendment"), the monthly principal redemptions were suspended until August 1, 2008 and the remaining principal due on the October Debetures will be paid thereafter on the first date of each month in equal installments through March 27, 2010, the expiration date.  Further, the Amendment changes the exercise price of the October Warrants issued under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement and related Agreements from $0.90, $0.92 and $1.60 to $0.60 each.  The number of shares to be purchased under each of the October Warrants was also adjusted under the terms of the Amendment so that the original dollar amounts to be raised by the Company through the exercise of each of the October Warrants will remain the same resulting in an increase of 6,024,743 warrants.  The company has determined the aggregate fair value of the total issued warrants, based on the Black-Scholes pricing model, to be approximately $5,858,344 and has included this amount in the loss on extinguishment of debt for the six months ended September 30, 2008 (see Note 8 in the accompanying consolidated financial statments).

The issuances of the securities of the Company in the above transactions were deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof or Regulation D promulgated thereunder, as a transaction by an issuer not involving a public offering. With respect to each transaction listed above, no general solicitation was made by either the Company or any person acting on the Company’s behalf; the securities sold are subject to transfer restrictions; and the certificates for the shares contained an appropriate legend stating such securities have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be
