You
may
only rely on the information contained in this prospectus or that we have
referred you to. We have not authorized anyone to provide you with different
information. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell or a
solicitation of an offer to buy any securities other than the common stock
offered by this prospectus. This prospectus does not constitute an offer to
sell
or a solicitation of an offer to buy any common stock in any circumstances
in
which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. Neither the delivery of this
prospectus nor any sale made in connection with this prospectus shall, under

circumstances, create any implication that there has been no change in our
affairs since the date of this prospectus or that the information contained
by
reference to this prospectus is correct as of any time after its
date.
This
summary highlights information contained elsewhere in this prospectus. You
should read the entire prospectus carefully, including, the section entitled
"Risk Factors" before deciding to invest in our common stock. CryoPort, Inc.
is
referred to throughout this prospectus as "CryoPort," "the Company," "we" or
"us."
General
Our
principal focus is to develop and launch, the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper
System, a line of one-time use dry cryogenic shippers for the transport of
biological materials. A dry cryogenic shipper is a device that uses liquid
nitrogen which is contained inside a vacuum insulated bottle as a refrigerant
to
provide storage temperatures below minus 150 °
centigrade. The dry shipper is designed such that there can be no pressure
build
up as the liquid nitrogen evaporates, or spillage of liquid nitrogen. A foam
retention system is employed to ensure that liquid nitrogen stays inside the
vacuum container. Biological specimens are stored in a “well” inside the
container and refrigeration is provided by cold nitrogen gas evolving from
the
liquid nitrogen entrapped within the foam retention system. Biological specimens
transported using the cryogenic shipper can include live cell pharmaceutical
products; e.g., cancer vaccines, diagnostic materials, semen and embryos,
infectious substances and other items that require continuous exposure to frozen
or cryogenic temperatures (less than -150 °
C).
During
the recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, we generated revenues of $67,103
and we incurred a net loss of $2,326,259. For the three month period ended
June
30, 2007, we generated revenues of $5,541. During that same period we incurred
a
net loss of $745,508. At June 30, 2007 we had negative working capital of
$100,747 and an accumulated deficit of $10,110,658.
Our
principal executive office is located at 20382 Barents Sea Circle, Lake Forest,
California 92630 and our telephone number at that address is (949)
470-2300.
Recent
Financing
On
October 1, 2007, we issued to a number of accredited investors our Original
Issue Discount 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”)
having a principal face amount of $4,707,705 and generating gross proceeds
to us
of $4,001,551. After accounting for commissions and legal and other fees,
the net proceeds to us totaled $3,436,551.
The
entire principal amount under the Debentures is due and payable 30 months after
the closing date. Interest payments will be payable in cash quarterly
commencing on January 1, 2008. We may elect to make interest payments in
shares of common stock provided, generally, that we are not in default under
the
Debentures and there is then in effect a registration statement with respect
to
the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures or in payment of interest
due thereunder. If we elect to make interest payment 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.
At
any
time, holders may convert the Debentures into shares of common stock at a fixed
conversion price of $0.84, subject to adjustment in the event we issue 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”).
Following
the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms
a part, we may force conversion of the Debentures if the market price of the
common stock is at least $2.52 for 30 consecutive days. We may also prepay
the Debentures in cash at 120% of the then outstanding principal.
The
Debentures rank senior to all of our current and future indebtedness and are
secured by substantially all of our assets.
In
connection with the financing transaction, we issued to the investors five-year
warrants to purchase 5,604,411 shares of our 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
“Warrants”).
We
also
entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors that requires
us
to register the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise
of the Warrants within 45 days after the closing date of the transaction.
If the registration statement is not filed within that time period or is
not declared effective within 90 days after the closing date (120 days in the
event of a full review by the Securities and Exchange Commission), we will
be
required to pay liquidated damages in cash in an amount equal to 2% of the
total
subscription amount for every month that we fail to attain a timely filing
or
effectiveness, as the case may be.

The
purchase of our common stock involves a high degree of risk.
You
should carefully review and consider "Risk Factors" beginning on

*
Based on the current issued and outstanding number of shares of 39,825,686
as of
October 29, 2007, and assuming issuance of all 14,571,392 shares upon conversion
of convertible debentures and exercise of warrants issued to the investors
and
the placement agent and registered herewith, the number of shares offered
herewith represents approximately 36% of the total issued and outstanding shares
of common stock.
An
investment in our shares involves a high degree of risk. Before making an
investment decision, you should carefully consider all of the risks described
in
this prospectus. If any of the risks discussed in this prospectus actually
occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be
materially and adversely affected. If this were to happen, the price of our
shares could decline significantly and you may lose all or a part of your
investment. Our forward-looking statements in this prospectus are subject
to the following risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ
materially from those anticipated by our forward-looking statements as a result
of the risk factors below. See "Forward-Looking Statements."
Risks
Related to Our Business
We
have incurred significant losses to date and may continue to incur
losses.
During
the recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, we generated revenues of $67,103
and we incurred a net loss of $2,326,259. For the three month period ended
June
30, 2007, we generated revenues of $5,541. During that same period we incurred
a
net loss of $745,508. At June 30, 2007 we had negative working capital of
$100,747 and an accumulated deficit of $10,110,658. Continuing losses will
have
an adverse impact on our cash flow and may impair our ability to raise
additional capital required to continue and expand our operations.
The
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on our March 31, 2007
consolidated financial statements includes an explanatory paragraph stating
that
the recurring losses incurred from operations, working capital deficit and
accumulated deficit raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as
a
going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
If
we are unable to obtain additional funding, we may have to reduce our business
operations.
We
anticipate, based on currently proposed plans and assumptions relating to our
ability to market and sell our products, that our cash on hand including the
proceeds from a recent financing transaction will satisfy our operational and
capital requirements for the next 24 months. However, if we are unable to
realize satisfactory revenue in the near future, we will be required to seek
additional financing to continue our operations beyond that period. We will
also
require additional financing to expand into other markets and further develop
and market our products. Except for the warrants issued in our recent offerings,
we have no current arrangements with respect to any additional financing.
Consequently, there can be no assurance that any additional financing on
commercially reasonable terms or at all will be available when needed. The
inability to obtain additional capital may reduce our ability to continue to
conduct business operations. Any additional equity financing may involve
substantial dilution to our then existing stockholders. Our future capital
requirements will depend upon many factors, including:
· |
continued
scientific progress in our products;
|
· |
competing
technological and market developments;
|
· |
our
ability to establish additional collaborative relationships;
and
|
· |
the
effect of commercialization activities and facility expansions if
and as
required.
|
We
have
limited financial resources and to date no positive cash flow from operations.
There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on acceptable
terms in light of factors such as the market demand for our securities, the
state of financial markets generally and other relevant factors. Raising
additional funding may be complicated by certain provisions in the securities
purchase agreements entered into in connection with our most recent
financing.
If
we experience delays, difficulties or unanticipated costs in establishing the
sales, distribution and marketing capabilities necessary to successfully
commercialize our products, we will have difficulty maintaining and increasing
our sales.
We
are
continuing to develop sales, distribution and marketing capabilities in the
Americas, Europe and Asia. It will be expensive and time-consuming for us to
develop a global marketing and sales network. Moreover, we may choose, or find
it necessary, to enter into additional strategic collaborations to sell, market
and distribute our products. We may not be able to provide adequate incentive
to
our sales force or to establish and maintain favorable distribution and
marketing collaborations with other companies to promote our products. In
addition, any third party with whom we have established a marketing and
distribution relationship may not devote sufficient time to the marketing and
sales of our products thereby exposing us to potential expenses in exiting
such
distribution agreements. The Company, and any of its third-party collaborators,
must also market its products in compliance with federal, state, local and
international laws relating to the providing of incentives and inducements.
Violation of these laws can result in substantial penalties. If we are unable
to
successfully motivate and expand our marketing and sales force and further
develop our sales and marketing capabilities, or if our distributors fail to
promote our products, we will have difficulty maintaining and increasing our
sales.
3
We
are dependent on new products.
Our
future revenue stream depends to a large degree on our ability to bring new
products to market on a timely basis. We must continue to make significant
investments in research and development in order to continue to develop new
products, enhance existing products and achieve market acceptance of such
products. We may incur problems in the future in innovating and introducing
new
products. Our development stage products may not be successfully completed
or,
if developed, may not achieve significant customer acceptance. If we were unable
to successfully define, develop and introduce competitive new products, and
enhance existing products, our future results of operations would be adversely
affected. Development and manufacturing schedules for technology products are
difficult to predict, and we might not achieve timely initial customer shipments
of new products. The timely availability of these products in volume and their
acceptance by customers are important to our future success. A delay in new
product introductions could have a significant impact on our results of
operations.
Our
success depends, in part, on our ability to obtain patent protection for our
products, preserve our trade secrets, and operate without infringing the
proprietary rights of others.
Our
policy is to seek to protect our proprietary position by, among other methods,
filing U.S. and foreign patent applications related to our technology,
inventions and improvements that are important to the development of our
business. We have three U.S. patents relating to various aspects of our
products. Our patents or patent applications may be challenged, invalidated
or
circumvented in the future or the rights granted may not provide a competitive
advantage. We intend to vigorously protect and defend our intellectual property.
Costly and time-consuming litigation brought by us may be necessary to enforce
our patents and to protect our trade secrets and know-how, or to determine
the
enforceability, scope and validity of the proprietary rights of
others.
We
also
rely upon trade secrets, technical know-how and continuing technological
innovation to develop and maintain our competitive position. We typically
require our employees, consultants, advisors and suppliers to execute
confidentiality agreements in connection with their employment, consulting,
or
advisory relationships with us. If any of these agreements are breached, we
may
not have adequate remedies available thereunder to protect our intellectual
property or we may incur substantial expenses enforcing our rights. Furthermore,
our competitors may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary
information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our proprietary
technology, or we may not be able to meaningfully protect our rights in
unpatented proprietary technology.
We
cannot
assure that our current and potential competitors and other third parties have
not filed or in the future, will not file patent applications for, or have
not
received or in the future will not receive, patents or obtain additional
proprietary rights that will prevent, limit or interfere with our ability to
make, use or sell our products either in the U.S. or internationally. In the
event we were to require licenses to patents issued to third parties, such
licenses may not be available or, if available, may not be available on terms
acceptable to us. In addition, we cannot assure that we would be successful
in
any attempt to redesign our products or processes to avoid infringement or
that
any such redesign could be accomplished in a cost-effective manner. Accordingly,
an adverse determination in a judicial or administrative proceeding or failure
to obtain necessary licenses could prevent us from manufacturing and selling
our
products, which would harm our business.
We
are
not aware of any other company that is infringing any of our patents or
trademarks nor do we believe that it is infringing on the patents or trademarks
of any other person or organization.
If
we experience manufacturing delays or interruptions in production, then we
may
experience customer dissatisfaction and our reputation could
suffer.
If
we
fail to produce enough products at our own manufacturing facility or at a
third-party manufacturing facility, we may be unable to deliver products to
our
customers on a timely basis, which could lead to customer dissatisfaction and
could harm our reputation and ability to compete. We currently acquire various
component parts for our products from a number of independent manufacturers
in
the United States. We would likely experience significant delays or cessation
in
producing our products if a labor strike, natural disaster, local or regional
conflict or other supply disruption were to occur at any of our main suppliers.
If we are unable to procure a component from one of our manufacturers, we may
be
required to enter into arrangements with one or more alternative manufacturing
companies which may cause delays in producing our products. In addition, because
we depend on third-party manufacturers, our profit margins may be lower, which
will make it more difficult for us to achieve profitability. To date, we have
not experienced any material delays to the point that our ability to adequately
service customer needs has been compromised. As the business develops and
quantity of production increases, it becomes more likely that such problems
could arise.
Because
we rely on a limited number of suppliers, we may experience difficulty in
meeting our customers’ demands for our products in a timely manner or within
budget.
We
currently purchase key components of our products from a variety of outside
sources. Some of these components may only be available to us through a few
sources, however, management has identified alternative materials and suppliers
should the need arise. We generally do not have long-term agreements with any
of
our suppliers.
4
Consequently,
in the event that our suppliers delay or interrupt the supply of components
for
any reason, we could potentially experience higher product costs and longer
lead
times in order fulfillment. Suppliers that we materially rely upon are Spaulding
Composites Company and Lydall Thermal Acoustical Sales.
Our
Products May Contain Errors or Defects, which Could Result in Damage to Our
Reputation, Lost Revenues, Diverted Development Resources and Increased Service
Costs, Warranty Claims and Litigation.
Our
products must meet stringent requirements. We warrant to our customers that
our
products will be free of defect for various periods of time, depending on the
product. In addition, certain of our contracts include epidemic failure clauses.
If invoked, these clauses may entitle the customer to return or obtain credits
for products and inventory, or to cancel outstanding purchase orders even if
the
products themselves are not defective.
We
must
develop our products quickly to keep pace with the rapidly changing market,
and
we have a history of frequently introducing new products. Products and services
as sophisticated as ours could contain undetected errors or defects, especially
when first introduced or when new models or versions are released. In general,
our products may not be free from errors or defects after commercial shipments
have begun, which could result in damage to our reputation, lost revenues,
diverted development resources, increased customer service and support costs
and
warranty claims and litigation which could harm our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
Our
management has limited experience in managing and operating a public company.
Any failure to comply or adequately comply with federal securities laws, rules
or regulations could subject us to fines or regulatory actions, which may
materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial
condition.
Our
current management has limited experience managing and operating a public
company and relies in many instances on the professional experience and advice
of third parties including our consultants, attorneys and accountants. Failure
to comply or adequately comply with any laws, rules, or regulations applicable
to our business may result in fines or regulatory actions, which may materially
adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial
condition.
If
we fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, the
price of our common stock may be adversely affected.
Our
internal control over financial reporting may have weaknesses and conditions
that need to be addressed, the disclosure of which may have an adverse impact
on
the price of our common stock. We are required to establish and maintain
appropriate internal controls over financial reporting. Failure to
establish those controls, or any failure of those controls once established,
could adversely impact our public disclosures regarding our business, financial
condition or results of operations. In addition, management's assessment
of internal controls over financial reporting may identify weaknesses and
conditions that need to be addressed in our internal controls over financial
reporting or other matters that may raise concerns for investors. Any
actual or perceived weaknesses and conditions that need to be addressed in
our
internal control over financial reporting, disclosure of management's assessment
of our internal controls over financial reporting or disclosure of our public
accounting firm's attestation to or report on management's assessment of our
internal controls over financial reporting may have an adverse impact on the
price of our common stock.
Standards
for compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are uncertain,
and if we fail to comply in a timely manner, our business could be harmed and
our stock price could decline.
Rules
adopted by the SEC pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002
require annual assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting,
and
attestation of our assessment by our independent registered public accounting
firm. Currently, we believe these two requirements will apply to our
annual reports for fiscal 2008 and 2009, respectively. The standards that
must be met for management to assess the internal controls over financial
reporting as effective are evolving and complex, and require significant
documentation, testing, and possible remediation to meet the detailed
standards. We expect to incur significant expenses and to devote resources
to Section 404 compliance during the remainder of fiscal 2008 and on an ongoing
basis. It is difficult for us to predict how long it will take to complete
the assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial
reporting for each year and to remediate any deficiencies in our internal
control over financial reporting. As a result, we may not be able to complete
the assessment and remediation process on a timely basis. In addition, the
attestation process by our independent registered public accounting firm is
new
and we may encounter problems or delays in completing the implementation of
any
requested improvements and receiving an attestation of our assessment by our
independent registered public accounting firm. In the event that our Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or independent registered public
accounting firm determine that our internal control over financial reporting
is
not effective as defined under Section 404, we cannot predict how regulators
will react or how the market prices of our shares will be affected; however,
we
believe that there is a risk that investor confidence and share value may be
negatively impacted.
5
If
we cannot compete effectively, we will lose business.
The
market for our products, services and solutions is positioned to become
competitive. There are technological and marketing barriers to entry, but we
cannot guarantee that the barriers we are capable of producing will be
sufficient to defend the market share we wish to gain against future
competitors. The principal competitive factors in this market
include:
· |
Ongoing
development of enhanced technical features and benefits;
|
· |
Reductions
in the manufacturing cost of competitors’ products;
|
· |
The
ability to maintain and expand distribution channels;

These
and
other prospective competitors have substantially greater resources, more
customers, longer operating histories, greater name recognition and more
established relationships in the industry. As a result, these competitors may
be
able to develop and expand their networks and product offerings more quickly,
devote greater resources to the marketing and sale of their products and adopt
more aggressive pricing policies. In addition, these competitors have entered
and will likely continue to enter into business relationships to provide
additional products competitive to those we provide or plan to
provide.
Risks
Relating to Our Current Financing Arrangements:
The
variable price feature of our convertible debentures could require us to issue
a
substantially greater number of shares, which will cause dilution to our
existing stockholders.
On
October 1, 2007, we issued to a number of accredited investors our Original
Issue Discount 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures having a principal
face
amount of $4,707,705. The entire principal amount under the Debentures is due
and payable 30 months after the closing date. Interest payments will be
payable in cash quarterly commencing on January 1, 2008. In addition, we
are required to make 24 equal monthly principal cash payments commencing
February 1, 2008. We may elect to make such interest or principal payments
in
shares of common stock provided, generally, that we are not in default under
the
Debentures and there is then in effect a registration statement with respect
to
the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures or in payment of interest
due thereunder. If we elect to make interest payments in common stock, the
conversion rate will be the lesser of (a) $0.84 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.
If
we are
unable to make payments in cash, we must make those payments in shares of our
common stock at a discount to the market price of our common stock. The number
of shares we will be required to issue upon conversion of the notes will
increase if the market price of our stock decreases.
The
lower the stock price, the greater the number of shares issuable under the
convertible debentures.
If
we
elect make periodic principal and interest payments in stock in lieu of cash
(or
are unable to make cash payments), the number of shares issuable upon conversion
of the convertible debentures is determined by the market price of our common
stock prevailing at the time of each conversion. The lower the market price,
the
greater the number of shares issuable under the debentures. Upon issuance of
the
shares, to the extent that holders of those shares will attempt to sell the
shares into the market, these sales may further reduce the market price of
our
common stock. This in turn will increase the number of shares issuable under
the
agreement. This may lead to an escalation of lower market prices and ever
greater numbers of shares to be issued. A larger number of shares issuable
at a
discount to a continuously declining stock price will expose our stockholders
to
greater dilution and a reduction of the value of their investment.
The
issuance of our stock upon conversion of the convertible debentures could
encourage short sales by third parties, which could contribute to the future
decline of our stock price and materially dilute existing stockholders' equity
and voting rights.
The
convertible debentures have the potential to cause significant downward pressure
on the price of our common stock. This is particularly the case if the shares
issued upon conversion and placed into the market exceed the market's ability
to
absorb the increased number of shares of stock. Such an event could place
further downward pressure on the price of our common stock. The opportunity
exists for short sellers and others to contribute to the future decline of
our
stock price. If there are significant short sales of our stock, the price
decline that would result from this activity will cause the share price to
decline more so, which, in turn, may cause long holders of the stock to sell
their shares thereby contributing to sales of stock in the market. If there
is
an imbalance on the sell side of the market for the stock, our stock price
will
decline. If this occurs, the number of shares of our common stock that is
issuable upon conversion of the debentures will increase, which will materially
dilute existing stockholders' equity and voting rights.

Risks
relating principally to our common stock and its market
value:
Our
stock price may be volatile.
The
market price of our common stock is likely to be highly volatile and could
fluctuate widely in price in response to various factors, many of which are
beyond our control, including:
|
·
|
technological
innovations or new products and services by us or our
competitors;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
additions
or departures of key personnel;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
sales
of our common stock;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
our
ability to integrate operations, technology, products and
services;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
our
ability to execute our business plan;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
operating
results below expectations;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
loss
of any strategic relationship;
|
|
|
|

industry
developments;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
economic
and other external factors; and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
period-to-period
fluctuations in our financial
results.
|
You
may
consider any one of these factors to be material. Our stock price may fluctuate
widely as a result of any of the above listed factors. In addition, the
securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and
volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of
particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and
adversely affect the market price of our common stock.
We
have not paid dividends on our common stock in the past and do not expect to
pay
dividends in the foreseeable future. Any return on investment may be limited
to
the value of our common stock.
We
have
never paid cash dividends on our common stock and do not anticipate paying
cash
dividends in the foreseeable future. The payment of dividends on our common
stock will depend on earnings, financial condition and other business and
economic factors affecting it at such time as the board of directors may
consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less
valuable because a return on your investment will only occur if our stock price
appreciates.
Our
stock is deemed to be penny stock.
Our
stock
is currently traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and is subject to the "penny
stock
rules" adopted pursuant to Section 15 (g) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended, or Exchange Act. The penny stock rules apply to non-NASDAQ
companies whose common stock trades at less than $5.00 per share or which have
tangible net worth of less than $5,000,000 ($2,000,000 if the company has been
operating for three or more years). Such rules require, among other things,
that
brokers who trade "penny stock" to persons other than "established customers"
complete certain documentation, make suitability inquiries of investors and
provide investors with certain information concerning trading in the security,
including a risk disclosure document and quote information under certain
circumstances. Penny stocks sold in violation of the applicable rules may
entitle the buyer of the stock to rescind the sale and receive a full refund
from the broker.
Many
brokers have decided not to trade "penny stock" because of the requirements
of
the penny stock rules and, as a result, the number of broker-dealers willing
to
act as market makers in such securities is limited. In the event that we remain
subject to the "penny stock rules" for any significant period, there may develop
an adverse impact on the market, if any, for our securities. Because our
securities are subject to the "penny stock rules," investors will find it more
difficult to dispose of our securities. Further, for companies whose securities
are traded in the OTC Bulletin Board, it is more difficult: (i) to obtain
accurate quotations, (ii) to obtain coverage for significant news events because
major wire services, such as the Dow Jones News Service, generally do not
publish press releases about such companies, and (iii) to obtain needed capital.

FORWARD-LOOKING
STATEMENTS
Our
representatives and we may from time to time make written or oral statements
that are "forward-looking," including statements contained in this prospectus
and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, reports to our
stockholders and news releases. All statements that express expectations,
estimates, forecasts or projections are forward-looking statements within the

"estimates," "projects," "forecasts," "may," "should," variations of such words
and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking
statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and
involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions which are difficult to predict.
Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is
expressed or forecasted in or suggested by such forward-looking statements.
We
undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements,
whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Important
factors on which such statements are based are assumptions concerning
uncertainties, including but not limited to uncertainties associated with the
following:
(a)
volatility or decline of our stock price;
(b)
potential fluctuation in quarterly results;
(c)
our
failure to earn revenues or profits;
(d)
inadequate capital and barriers to raising the additional capital or to
obtaining the financing needed to implement its business plans;
(e)
inadequate capital to continue business;
(f)
changes in demand for our products and services;
(g)
rapid

General
Overview
We
were
originally formed with the intention to first develop a reusable line of
cryogenic shippers and once underway, to begin the research and development
of a
disposable, one-way cryogenic shipper. Until recently, the Company did not
have
the funds to fully implement its business plan. The reusable line of cryogenic
shippers has been in production since 2002, however, anticipated difficulties
in
penetrating the well established market for reusable cryogenic shippers, as
well
as a need for continuous redevelopment of the product line has allowed for
only
limited revenue generation from the sale of the reusable cryogenic shipper.
During this time, we maintained research and development activities focused
on
the new product line of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System. Until the
beginning of fiscal year 2006, the limited revenues produced from the reusable
product line along with limited capital funding required us to assign only
minimal resources to the development of the one-way cryogenic shippers. We
continue to raise funds to allow us to focus on accelerating the development
and
launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System product line. We are
focusing significant resources to the market research and product development
of
the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System with the goal of launching the new
product into the market during the second quarter of calendar year 2008. While
it had been our plan to introduce the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System
product line in limited quantities to selective customers during the second
quarter of fiscal year 2007, lack of adequate funding, has caused us to revise
the estimates for the product release as well as for the ramp-up timetables
related to the product manufacturing and sales and marketing activities. A
broad
launch to the general market expected to follow after feedback from this
introductory distribution of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System is
received and customer demand is further understood. A higher volume demand
is
expected to develop as pharmaceutical products requiring cryogenic or frozen
protection come to market.
We
have
discussed development of a shipper from the one-way product line under
confidentiality agreements for drug delivery with several vaccine manufacturers.
Although we have received and fulfilled purchase orders from these vaccine
manufacturers, we do not currently have any pending purchase orders. These
potential customers for the new CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System are
currently using our reusable shippers in clinical trials. To address the high
volume ramp up necessary to provide these customers with one-way shippers,
we
are currently involved in negotiations for a manufacturing and distribution
partnership with two large, and well established manufacturing
companies.
Going
Concern
As
reported in the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on
our
March 31, 2007 and 2006 financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring
losses from operations and has a stockholders’ deficit. These factors, among
others, raise substantial doubt about our 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 early stage development of the
Company’s one-way product and the possible need to enter a strategic
relationship with a larger manufacturer capable of high volume production and
distribution, (iii) the absence of any commitment 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
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. There is no assurance
the Company will be able to generate sufficient revenues or sell any equity
securities to generate sufficient funds when needed, or whether such funds,
if
available, will be obtained on terms satisfactory to the Company.
9
We
have
not generated significant revenues from operations and have no assurance of
any
future significant revenues. We incurred net losses of $2,326,259 and $1,522,101
for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In addition, at
March
31, 2007, our accumulated deficit was $9,365,150 and we had a negative working
capital deficit of $478,396. As of June 30, 2007, we had a cash balance of
approximately $579,000.
In
order
to continue as a going concern, management has begun taking the following
steps:
1)
|
Continuing
to maintain minimal operating expenditures through stringent cost
containment measures. The Company’s largest expense for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 relates to consultant fees of $382,500 which
were paid
with 375,000 common stock shares in lieu of cash for consulting services
relating to achieving financing arrangements for the Company, and
approximately $40,000 for the audit fees related to the filing of
the
Company’s annual 10-KSB report. The remaining operating expenses for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 of $201,075 related primarily to
minimal
personnel costs, rent and utilities and meeting the legal and reporting
requirements of a public company.
|
2)
|
Utilizing
part-time consultants and asking employees to manage multiple roles
and
responsibilities whenever possible to keep operating costs
low.
|
3)
|
Continuing
to require that key employees and the Company’s Board of Directors receive
Company stock in lieu of cash as all or part 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.
|
4)
|
Maintaining
current levels for sales, marketing, engineering, scientific and
operating
personnel and cautiously and gradually adding critical and key personnel
only as necessary to help expand the Company’s product offerings in the
reusable and one-way cryogenic shipping markets, leading it to additional
revenues and profits.
|
5)
|
Adding
other expenses such as customer service, administrative and operations
staff only commensurate with producing increased
revenues.
|
6)
|
Focusing
current research and development efforts only on final development,
production and distribution of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper
System.
|
Continuing
to focus marketing and sales research into the bio-pharmaceutical,
clinical trials and cold-chain distribution industries in order to
better
position the Company for an immediate and successful launch of the
CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System once the Company is able to
obtain adequate financing sources to support the product
launch.
|
Research
and Development
The
Company has substantially completed the research and development efforts
associated with its new product line, the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper
System, a line of rent-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 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 three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, research and development costs
were $28,587 and $19,109, respectively. Company sponsored research and
development costs related to future products and redesign of present products
are expensed as incurred and include such costs as salaries, and prototype
design and materials costs.
Results
of Operations
Year
Ended March 31, 2007 Compared to Year Ended March 31,
2006
Net
Sales.
During
the year ended March 31, 2007 the Company generated $67,103 from reusable
shipper sales compared to revenues of $152,298 during the year ended March
31,
2006, a decrease of $85,195 (55.9%). This revenue decrease is primarily due
to
the Company’s shift in its sales and marketing focus during fiscal 2007 from the
reusable shipper product line to the further development and planned product
launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System for its introduction into
the biopharmaceutical industry sector and to the delays in the Company’s
securing adequate funding for the manufacturing and marketing launch of the
new
product line. Additionally, continued product manufacturing upgrades slowed
production activities of the reusable shippers.
Cost
of Sales.
Cost of
sales for the year ended March 31, 2007 decreased $145,289 (46.0%) to $176,939
from $315,650 for the year ended March 31, 2006 as the result of decreased
sales
volumes related to the shift in sales and marketing focus to the CryoPort
Express® One-Way Shipper System and to increased production overhead
efficiencies related to the Company’s continued cost containment efforts. During
both periods, cost of sales exceeded sales due to fixed manufacturing costs
and
plant underutilization.
Gross
Loss.
Gross
loss for the year ended March 31, 2007 decreased by $53,516 (32.8%) to $109,836
compared to $163,352 for the year ended March 31, 2006. The decrease in the
gross loss is due to increased production overhead efficiencies as a result
of
the Company’s continued cost containment efforts, as well as the decrease in
sales volume.
10
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by $876,140 (85.6%) to $1,899,228
for the year ended March 31, 2007 compared to $1,023,088 for the year ended
March 31, 2006 due mainly to increased general and administrative costs of
$1,021,209 which were offset by decreased selling expenses of $145,069. The
increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily due to option
and
warrant related charges totaling $1,177,768 as the result of: i) issuances
of
warrants to employees and directors in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
123(R); ii) modifications for option expiration dates; and iii) the vesting
of
outstanding options and warrants during the fiscal year. These charges were
offset by decreases of $98,710 in consulting and outside services, $41,033
in
legal and accounting fees, and $15,933 in other administrative overhead
expenses. The decrease in sales expenses was primarily related to decreased
expenses of $50,633 in advertising and trade shows, $48,440 in consulting fees,
$36,540 in salaries and related and $9,456 in general sales expenses. The
expense reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses are the
result of continued cost containment measures taken by the Company to minimize
overhead expenditures during the product development and launch preparation
for
the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System.
Research
and Development Expenses.
Research
and development expenses decreased by $166,630 (65.5%) to $87,857 for the year
ended March 31, 2007 as compared to $254,487 for the year ended March 31, 2006
in relation to the progression of the research and development activity for
the
CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System and to the continuation of cost
containment measures taken by the Company to minimize overhead expenditures
during the product development and launch preparation for the CryoPort Express®
One-Way Shipper System. These research and development expense decreases
included $85,533 in salaries and consulting services expenses, $32,959 in
equipment depreciation, $30,130 in prototype and testing expenses, and $18,008
in travel and other research and development overhead costs.
Interest
Expense.
Interest
expense increased by $147,361 (183.3%) to $227,738 for the year ended March
31,
2007 as compared to $80,377 for the year ended March 31, 2006 as the result
of
$93,503 of financing expenses related to the convertible debentures, consisting
of $87,430 of amortization of deferred financing fees and debt discounts and
$6,073 accrued interest, $47,729 of interest expense related to the short term
financing loan from Ventana Group, LLC utilized by the Company in fiscal 2007,
and $6,129 for other financing expenses of the Company.
Net
Loss.
As a
result of the factors described above, the net loss for the year ended March
31,
2007 increased by $804,158 (52.8%) to $2,326,259 or ($0.08) per share compared
to $1,522,101 or ($0.05) per share for the year ended March 31,
2006.
Three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to three months ended June 30,
2006
Net
Sales.
During
the three months ended June 30, 2007, the Company generated $5,541 from reusable
shipper sales compared to revenues of $18,462 in the same period of the prior
year, a decrease of $12,921 (70%). This revenue decrease is primarily a result
of the Company’s shift in its sales and marketing focus during the calendar year
2006 due to the planning of the introduction of the one-way shipper, anticipated
for release in the second quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2008, 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 an immediate and successful launch of the CryoPort
Express® One-Way Shipper System once the Company obtains adequate financing
sources to support the product launch.
Cost
of Sales.
For the
three month period ended June 30, 2007, cost of sales increased $28,967
(74%) to $68,307 from $39,340 for the three month period ended June 30, 2006
primarily as the result of increased manufacturing overhead costs incurred
as
the Company 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 System. During both periods cost of sales
exceeded sales due to plant under utilization.
Gross
Loss.
Gross
loss for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 increased by $41,888 (200%)
to $62,766 compared to $20,878 for the three month period ended June 30, 2006.
The increase in the gross loss is mainly attributable to the decreased sales
as
a result of the shift in the sales and marketing efforts and to additional
cost
of sales related to increased manufacturing overhead costs
incurred.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by $391,248 (192%) to $594,555
for
the three month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $203,307 for the
three
month period ended June 30, 2006 due primarily to consultant fees of $382,500
relating to 375,000 common stock shares issued in lieu of cash for consulting
services relating to achieving financing arrangements for the Company, to
increased travel and related costs associated with the planning for the launch
of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper, and to increased directors’ and
officers’ insurance costs.
Research
and Development Expenses.
Research
and development expenses increased by $9,478 (50%) to $28,587 for the three
month period ended June 30, 2007 as compared to $19,109 for the three month
period ended June 30, 2006 related to the increased research and development
activity associated with 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
Expenses. Interest
expense increased $31,724 (121%) to $58,000 for the three month period ended
June 30, 2007 as compared to $26,276 for the three month period ended June
30,
2006. This increase is primarily related to the amortization of discounts and
deferred financing fees and interest expense related to the convertible
debentures held by the Company since November 2006.
11
Net
Loss.
As a
result of the factors described above, the net loss for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 increased by $475,937 (177%) to $745,508 or ($0.02) per share
compared to $269,571 or ($0.01) per share for the three months ended June 30,
2006.
Assets
and Liabilities
At
June
30, 2007, the Company had total assets of $782,580 compared to total assets
of
$483,687 at March 31, 2007, an increase of $298,893 (62%). Cash was $578,549
as
of June 30, 2007, an increase of $314,157 (119%) from $264,392 in cash on hand
as of March 31, 2007. During the three month period ended June 30, 2007, cash
provided by financing activities of $630,140 was offset by cash used in
operations of $313,178 and purchases of fixed assets of $2,805. As of November
7, 2007, the Company’s cash on hand was approximately $3,557,667.
Net
accounts receivable at June 30, 2007 was $2,336, a decrease of $7,836 (77%)
from
$10,172 at March 31, 2007. This decrease is primarily due to the decreased
sales
during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and the increase in credit card
sales.
Net
inventories increased $1,390 (1%), to $147,398 as of June 30, 2007, from
$146,008 as of March 31, 2007. The increase in inventories is due to the
purchase of additional raw materials in June 2007 in order to fulfill a
customer order shipped in July 2007 and in preparation of producing additional
CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System units for market testing.

assets decreased to $35,449 at June 30, 2007 from $38,400 at March 31, 2007
as a
result of depreciation in the amount of $5,756 offset by $2,805 for production
equipment purchases during the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Intangible
assets decreased to $3,529 at June 30, 2007 from $4,696 at March 31, 2007 as
a
result of amortization in the amount of $1,167 for the three months ended June
30, 2007.
Deferred
financing costs decreased to $0 at June 30, 2007 compared to $4,699 at March
31,
2007 due to the expiration of the related convertible debentures and the
amortization of the remaining deferred financing fees during the three months
ended June 30, 2007.
Total
liabilities at June 30, 2007 were $2,673,600, a decrease of $97,919 (4%) from
$2,771,519 as of March 31, 2007. Accounts payable was $292,988 at June 30,
2007,
a decrease of $13,694 (4%) from $306,682 at March 31, 2007. The accounts payable
decrease is primarily due to the decreased accounting, consultant, and legal
fees payable resulting from the payments towards aged invoices which had
previously been delayed due to cash restrictions. This decrease was partially
offset by additional payables related to materials purchased during June 2007.
Accrued expenses increased $6,903 (7%) to $104,130 at June 30, 2007 from $97,227
at March 31, 2007, resulting from the accrual of vendor invoices related to
materials and services received in June 2007. Accrued warranty costs increased
$375 to $55,782 at June 30, 2007 from $55,407 as of March 31, 2007 relating
to
additional accrual for products shipped during the three months ended June
30,
2007. Accrued salaries were $155,387 at June 30, 2007, a decrease of $14,150
(8%) from $169,537 at March 31, 2007. This decrease is due to a partial payment
of Mr. Berry’s fiscal year 2007 bonus which had been approved by the board and
accrued in February 2007.
Per
the
terms of the convertible debenture agreements, the notes have a term of 180
days
from issuance and are redeemable by the Company with two days notice. The notes
bear interest at 15% per annum and are convertible into shares of the Company’s
common stock at a ratio of 6.67 shares for every dollar of debt converted.
The
proceeds of the convertible notes have and will be used in the ongoing
operations of the Company. During the three months ended June 30, 2007 the
Company converted $98,500 of principal balances and $7,179 of accrued interest
relating to these convertible debentures into 705,366 common stock shares at
a
conversion price of $0.15 per share. As of June 30, 2007 the remaining balance
of the convertible debenture notes and accrued interest was
$23,063.
Current
portion of related party notes payable increased $15,000 from $120,000 at March
31, 2007 to $135,000 at June 30, 2007 due to the scheduled increase in the
monthly payment amounts on these notes in accordance with the terms of the
promissory notes, beginning October 1, 2006 and April 1, 2007 to total monthly
payments due of $5,000 and $7,500 respectively as specified in the terms of
the
notes. On July 31, 2007, the Company paid the April 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.
Current
portion of notes payable of $24,000 at June 30, 2007 had no change from March
31, 2007. Current portion of notes payable to officer increased from $45,000
as
of March 31, 2007 to $54,000 as of June 30, 2007 due to the scheduled increase
in monthly payments from $3,000 to $6,000 beginning in January
2008.
12
Long-term
related party notes payable decreased $9,981 to $1,613,860 at June 30, 2007
from
$1,623,841 at March 31, 2007 due to the transfer of additional $15,000 to the
current portion in addition to aggregate payments made of $15,000 against the
principal note balances which were offset by additional interest accrued of
$20,019 for the three month period ended June 30, 2007.
Long-term
notes payable remained unchanged at $35,440 from March 31, 2007 to June 30,
2007. Notes payable to officer decreased $18,000 from $197,950 as of March
31,
2007 to $179,950 as of June 30, 2007 due to the $9,000 increase in the current
portion of the note and to the $9,000 paid against the principal balance during
the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
June 30, 2007, the Company’s current liabilities of $844,350 exceeded its
current assets of $743,603 by $100,747. Approximately 24% of current liabilities
represent accrued salaries and current portion of note payable to officer for
executives who have opted to defer taking salaries until the Company has
achieved positive operating cash flows.
Total
cash increased $314,157 to $578,549 at June 30, 2007 from $264,392 at March
31,
2007 as a result of $630,140 of funds provided by financing activities mainly
due to proceeds from the issuance of common stock and exercise of warrants
partially offset by used in operating activities, partially offset by $313,178
of cash used in operating activities and $2,805 used for purchases of fixed
assets during the three months ended June 30, 2007.
Total
assets increased $298,893 to $782,580 as of June 30, 2007 compared to $483,687
as of March 31, 2007 mainly as a result of the increase in cash partially offset
by decrease in accounts receivable.
The
Company’s total outstanding indebtedness decreased $97,919 to $2,673,600 at June
30, 2007 from $2,771,519 at March 31, 2007 primarily from the conversion of
convertible notes payable to common stock, the decrease in accrued salaries
or
the payment of accrued bonus and the decrease in accounts payable related to
payments of accrued consultant and legal fees.
The
Company does not expect to incur any material capital expenditures until
management is able to secure significant long-term funding for the launch of
the
new one-way product line or sales increase materially.
In
January 2007, the Company entered into an Agency Agreement with a broker to
raise funds in a private placement offering of common stock under Regulation
D.
During the three months ended June 30, 2007, in connection with this agreement,
3,443,333 shares of the Company’s common stock were sold to investors at an
average price of $0.18 per share for proceeds of $554,140 to the Company, net
of
issuance costs of $67,860.
On
October 1, 2007, we issued to a number of accredited investors our Original
Issue Discount 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures having a principal
face
amount of $4,707,705 and generating gross proceeds to us of $4,001,551.
After accounting for commissions and legal and other fees, the net
proceeds to us totaled $3,436,551.
The
entire principal amount under the Debentures is due and payable 30 months after
the closing date. Interest payments will be payable in cash quarterly
commencing on January 1, 2008. We may elect to make interest payment in
shares of common stock provided, generally, that we are not in default under
the
Debentures and there is then in effect a registration statement with respect
to
the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures or in payment of interest
due thereunder. If we elect 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. The Debentures rank senior to all of our current and
future indebtedness and are secured by substantially all of our
assets.
At
any
time, holders may convert the Debentures into shares of common stock at a fixed
conversion price of $0.84, subject to adjustment in the event we issue 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”).
Following
the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms
a part, we may force conversion of the debentures if the market price of the
common stock is at least $2.52 for 30 consecutive days. We may also prepay
the debentures in cash at 120% of the then outstanding principal.
In
connection with the financing transaction, we issued to the investors five-year
warrants to purchase 5,604,411 shares of our 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.

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 consolidated 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
collectability 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
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.
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.
14
.
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 consolidated financial
statements as of June 30, 2007 and for the three months ended June 30, 2007
and
2006 reflect the impact of adopting SFAS No. 123(R). In accordance with the
modified prospective transition method, the consolidated financial statements
for prior periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the
impact of SFAS No. 123(R). 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 month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 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
month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was zero as the Company has not
had a
significant history of forfeitures.
Employee
stock-based compensation expense recognized under SFAS No. 123(R) for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 was $0 and $35,288, respectively,
as
determined by the Black-Scholes valuation model. As of June 30, 2007, the
Company had no unvested stock options or warrants and total unrecognized
compensation cost, related to unvested stock options was $0 (see Note 2 to
the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements for additional
information.)
Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements
We
do not
have any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have
a
current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of
operations, liquidity or capital expenditures.
15
We
are a
cryogenic transport container company, involved in the safe transport of
biological specimens at temperatures below zero centigrade. While over the
past
years most of our sales have been derived from the sale of our reusable product
line, the Company’s long term potential and prospects will come from the one-way
line of products which have been in development over the past three
years.
Overview:
The
principal focus of the Company is to develop and launch, the CryoPort Express®
One-Way Shipper System, a line of one-time use dry cryogenic shippers for the
transport of biological materials. A dry cryogenic shipper is a device that
uses
liquid nitrogen which is contained inside a vacuum insulated bottle as a
refrigerant to provide storage temperatures below minus 150 °
centigrade. The dry shipper is designed such that there can be no pressure
build
up as the liquid nitrogen evaporates, or spillage of liquid nitrogen. A foam
retention system is employed to ensure that liquid nitrogen stays inside the
vacuum container. Biological specimens are stored in a “well” inside the
container and refrigeration is provided by cold nitrogen gas evolving from
the
liquid nitrogen entrapped within the foam retention system. Biological specimens
transported using the cryogenic shipper can include live cell pharmaceutical
products; e.g., cancer vaccines, diagnostic materials, semen and embryos,
infectious substances and other items that require continuous exposure to frozen
or cryogenic temperatures (less than -150 °
C).
The
Company currently manufactures a line of reusable cryogenic dry shippers. These
provide the cryogenic technology for the development of the CryoPort Express®
One-Way Shipper System and serve as the 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 frozen or cryogenic temperature environment over an extended
time period by introducing to market a cost effective one-time use cryogenic
shipper. The conventional concept of cryogenic shipping employs the use of
a
high cost shipping container, used multiple times over multiple years. The
Company plans to introduce the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System product
manufactured from alternative, lower cost materials, which will reduce overall
operating costs. As with the reusable shippers, the one-way system will
eliminate the need to replenish the refrigerant during transport.
The
Company’s production line incorporates innovative technologies developed for
aerospace and other industries to develop products that are more cost effective,
easier to use and more functional than the traditional dry ice devices and
methods currently used for the shipment of temperature-sensitive
materials.
The
proposed CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System products are planned to share
many of the characteristics and basic design details of the currently available
reusable products. The expected shared characteristics include general geometry
and shape, similar liquid capacities and similar thermal performance
characteristics. As a result, much of the market experience gained from the
sale
of these products is directly relevant to the usage characteristics of the
proposed CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System products. There are two
general sizes planned. A larger size of approximately 5 liters capacity, based
on a product that has been produced for 5 years, is planned for shipping larger
quantities of material and / or for use when longer holding times are required.
A smaller size of approximately 1 liter capacity is planned for unit dose
shipments, or small quantity shipments, that are direct to the end user and
thus
require shorter holding times. Because the shipment quantity is fairly small,
a
shorter holding time capability does not admit an unacceptable financial risk
of
product loss. The basis of the migration from reusable status to one-way use
status is primarily one of cost and convenience which requires a generally
lower
cost product. Lower cost is achieved from higher production quantities, from
lower cost materials and from automated manufacturing methods. The currently
ongoing development related to these items is principally focused on material
properties, particularly those properties related to the low temperature
requirement and the vacuum retention characteristics; i.e., permeability of
the
materials. Several different metallic and polymeric materials have been
subjected to testing to this point. One non-traditional material has been
qualified and is available for production subject to the demand for higher
production quantities that will justify the capital investment. Other materials
are currently being evaluated for long term vacuum retention characteristics
by
analyzing permeation properties. These are long term tests that are being
conducted by a commercial, well known laboratory. Further on steps that are
required to successfully market the products to a broad spectrum of potential
customers are largely related to a perceived need to customize the product
characteristics to specific customer’s requirements. This can only be
accomplished once the potential customer is identified and preliminary
discussions are begun relative to the specific needs of that customer. Items
potentially involved at this stage include the required holding time, the
required product capacity, the impact of the distribution environment from
in
plant packing to end use unpacking. We believe that each potential customer
may
have a specific set of needs that can be satisfied from a catalog like listing
of the generic characteristics of the planned products. Other advances
additional to the development work on the cryogenic container include both
an
improved liquid nitrogen retention system and a secondary protective, spillproof
packaging system. This secondary system, outer packaging has a low cost that
lends itself to disposability. Further, it adds an additional liquid nitrogen
retention capability to further assure compliance with IATA and ICAO regulations
that prohibit egress of liquid nitrogen from the shipping package
16
As
reported in the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on
the
Company’s March 31, 2007 and 2006 financial statements, the Company has incurred
recurring losses from operations and has a stockholders’ deficit. These factors,
among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern. See page 37, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of
Operation” for further discussion.
History:
The
Company was originally incorporated under the name G.T.5-Limited on May 25,
1990
as a Nevada corporation. The Company’s original focus was to engage in the
business of designing and building exotic body styles for automobiles compatible
with the vehicle’s existing chassis. The Company provided a series of hand
molded body style products that were based on the chassis designs of the Ford
Mustang, Pantera, Ford Cobra and Ferrari Daytona Spider. The Company’s goal was
to provide customers with a cost effective solution to developing a great look
to their own vehicles without the high costs associated with buying very
expensive new vehicles. Acceptance of the Company’s concept never materialized,
and revenues during the past few years declined. In 2004, the Company did not
have any revenues. As a result, the foregoing operations were discontinued.
In
January 2005, the Company’s board of directors determined that it would be in
its best interests, and that of its shareholders, to find a suitable acquisition
candidate.
In
March
2005, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement with CryoPort Systems,
Inc., a California corporation, and its stockholders, pursuant to which the
Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of CryoPort Systems,
Inc. in exchange for 24,108,105 shares of the Company’s common stock (which
represented approximately 81% of its total issued and outstanding shares of
common stock following the close of the transaction). The exchange price was
reached through discussions between CryoPort Systems, Inc.’s board of directors
and stockholders, and GT-5 Limited’s board of directors and major stockholders,
taking into account supply and demand factors as well as the historical share
prices to non-insiders of each company. The acquisition was a transaction
involving the cashless exchange of shares only. In connection with this
transaction, the Company changed its name to CryoPort, Inc., effective March
16,
2005. In addition, the Company’s then directors and officers resigned, and the
directors and officers of CryoPort Systems were elected to fill the vacancies
created by such resignations.
CryoPort
Systems, Inc. was originally formed in California in 1999 as a limited liability
company and was reorganized into a California corporation in December 2000.
CryoPort Systems, Inc. was founded in 1999 principally to capitalize on
servicing the transportation needs of the growing global “biotechnology
revolution”.
Our
Products
The
Company’s Current Product Line:
Reusable
Cryogenic Dry Vapor Shippers.
The
Company has developed three lines of reusable cryogenic dry vapor shippers
which
the Company believes solve the specific problems in, and are responsive to
the
evolving needs of the market place of temperature-critical, frozen and
refrigerated transport of biologicals. This line of shippers is capable of
maintaining cryogenic temperatures of minus 150 centigrade or less, for up
to 10
days.
These
products, which are in full production at the Company’s Brea, California
facility, consist of the AR1000, the DG1000 and the DS650. The DG1000 is
designed for shipping biological material classified as dangerous goods by
IATA
standards. This shipper is IATA certified for the shipment of Class 6.2
Dangerous Goods. The AR1000 is utilized primarily in the veterinary and human
assisted reproduction markets. This shipper may be used where packaging of
the
biological material need not comply with IATA Packing Instructions 602 or 650.
The DS650 is utilized for the shipment of specimens for diagnosis, treatment
or
evaluation of disease that must conform to the IATA 650 packaging standards.
In
2005, the Company introduced a new soft case for the same cryogenic Dewar;
identified as the PSX1000 and the PS1000. These units are smaller, lighter
in
weight, and more easily handled than the units described above. The PSX1000
shippers are also certified to IATA Packing Instruction 602 and
650.
These
shippers are lightweight, low-cost, re-usable vapor phase liquid nitrogen
storage containers that combine the best features of packaging, cryogenics
and
high vacuum technology. Each of these three shippers is composed of an aluminum
metallic Dewar flask, with a well for holding the biological material in the
inner chamber. A Dewar flask, or “thermos bottle,” is an example of a practical
device in which the conduction, convection and radiation of heat are reduced
as
much as possible. A high surface, low density open cell plastic foam material
surrounds the inner chamber for retaining the liquid nitrogen in-situ by
absorption, adsorption and surface tension. Absorption is defined as the taking
up of matter in bulk by other matter, as in dissolving of a gas by a liquid,
whereas adsorption is the surface retention of solid, liquid or gas molecules,
atoms or ions by a solid or liquid. This material absorbs LN 2
up to
six times faster than currently used materials, while providing the shipper
with
a hold time and capacity to transport biological materials safely and
conveniently. The annular space between the inner and outer Dewar chambers
is
evacuated to a very high vacuum (10 -6
Torr).
The specimen-holding chamber has a primary cap to enclose the
specimens, and a removable and replaceable secondary cap to further enclose
the
specimen holding container and to contain the LN 2
. The
entire Dewar vessel is then wrapped in a plurality of insulating and cushioning
materials and placed either in a hard plastic shipper shell, or in a ballistic
nylon soft shell outer case with a hinged lid, as with the Company’s
PSX1000.
17
The
Company believes the above product configuration satisfies the needs of the
markets that require the temperature-critical, frozen and refrigerated transport
of biological materials, such as pharmaceutical clinical trials, gene
biotechnology, infectious materials handling, and animal and human reproduction.
Due to the Company’s unique proprietary technology and innovative design, its
shippers are less prone to losing functional hold time when not kept in an
upright position than the competing products. The Company’s continuing R&D
efforts are expected to lead to the introduction of smaller size units
constructed of lower cost materials and utilizing high volume manufacturing
methods that will make it practical to offer the CryoPort Express® One-Way
Shipper System consisting of limited use cryogenic packages.
Materials
to be transported in the AR1000 shipper are typically placed in a canister
that
is lowered into the well of the shipper, which is held in place by the cap
and
neck tube. The materials to be transported in the DG1000 and DS650 shippers
are
placed in a bio-cartridge, which in turn is placed in a leak proof plastic
bag.
The canister, or vial holder, and its contents are surrounded by cold LN
2
vapor
from the saturated absorbent filler.
An
important feature of the DG1000, DS650 and the PSX shippers is their compliance
with the stringent packaging requirements of IATA Packing Instructions 602
and
650, respectively. These instructions include the internal pressure (hydraulic)
and drop performance requirements. The Company believes its shippers were the
first cost-effective cryogenic shippers to comply with these regulations, which
it hopes will substantially enhance product acceptance, and facilitate its
marketing efforts for both its reusable shippers and its planned CryoPort
Express® One-Way Shipper System.
Biological
Material Holders for Infectious and Dangerous Goods.
The
Company has also developed a patented containment bag which is used in
connection with the shipment of infectious or dangerous goods. The inner
packaging of the DG1000 shipper contains watertight primary receptacles (one
and
one-half millimeter vials.) Up to five vials are then placed onto aluminum
holders and up to fifteen holders (75 vials) are placed into an absorbent pouch,
designed to absorb the entire contents of all the vials in the event of leakage.
This pouch containing up to 75 vials is then placed in a watertight secondary
packaging plastic bag capable of withstanding cryogenic temperatures, and then
sealed. This entire package is then placed in a unique, patented, secondary
containment bag, which is a plastic film based material, critical to the
function of the overall cryogenic package. These bags use a pressure-sensitive
adhesive closure much like a common overnight courier envelope. As a result,
these bags are inherently disposable, one-use-only. This bag is then placed
into
the well of the cryogenic shipper.
Artificial
Insemination Canisters.
The
Company has also developed an artificial insemination canister for use with
its
AR1000 shipper. Semen straws, which resemble the familiar plastic stirrers
for
hot beverages and are similar in size, come in two sizes, based on volume -
one-half cc and one-quarter cc. These straws are sealed at both ends and placed
in small cylindrical “goblets” that are in turn placed into a twelve-inch long
cane. Fifteen canes can be placed in the metallic cylindrical canister that
fits
within the well of the shipper. The canister has a flexible handle and separate
vapor plug. Straws can also be stored in bulk in 65mm diameter goblets in two
layers using a disposable canister or via the use of a lifter. With the
disposable canister or lifter, up to 720 ½ cc or 1600 ¼ cc straws can be stored
in the AR1000.
The
Company’s Future Products:
The
Company’s continuing R&D efforts are expected to lead to the introduction of
smaller size units constructed of lower cost materials and utilizing high volume
manufacturing methods that will make it practical to provide the one-time use
cryogenic packages offered by the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper
System.
The
transition from a reusable shipper to the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper
System is planned during second quarter of calendar 2008 and will be
accomplished initially by a simple reduction in the size of existing materials,
the simplification of the outer protective shipping package and the use of
established manufacturing practices. Subsequently, in order to enable higher
volume production, alternate materials which are processed differently will
be
employed, with anticipated substantial cost reductions to be made to both the
inner cryogenic Dewar and the outer integrated shipping case, while maintaining
most of the Company’s proven, current manufacturing methods. This product will
then be transitioned to CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System with an
appropriate recycling program. The one-way shipper will employ alternate
materials of construction, which will further enable both higher mass
manufacturing and additional cost reduction opportunities.
The
Company’s driving logic in developing the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper
System is:
·
|
To
make the cost of the cryogenic package less than, or equal to, the
total
cost of ownership (on a one time use basis including return shipping
and
handling) of a reusable unit depending on the ultimate capacity and
hold
time of the shipper.
|
·
|
To
create the opportunity to ultimately offer a seamless “bio-express”
courier service to the Company’s target markets via its strategic
partners.
|
·
|
To
provide a cost effective shipper that can compete with the economics
of
using dry ice and dry ice shippers.

Our
Strategy:
The
Company’s present objective is to leverage its proprietary technology and
developmental expertise to design, develop, manufacture and sell cryogenic
shipping devices. The key elements of its strategy include:
Expand
the Company’s product offerings to address growing
markets.
Given
the need for a temperature-sensitive shipping device that can cost effectively
be used, the Company is diligently working to develop the CryoPort Express®
One-Way Shipper System, which utilizes a one-time use shipping device that
performs as well as its reusable shippers to eliminate the need for a return
shipment and the costs associated therewith as well as eliminate any loss of
specimen viability during the shipping process.
Expand
the Company’s marketing and distribution channels.
The
Company’s products serve the shipping needs of companies across a broad spectrum
of industries on a growing international level. It is the Company’s goal to
establish those contacts necessary to achieve a broader distribution of its
products.
Establish
strategic partnerships.
In order
to expedite the Company’s time to market and increase its market presence, the
Company is currently negotiating to establish strategic alliances to facilitate
the manufacture, promotion and distribution of its products, including
establishing alliances with shipping container manufacturers (both cryogenic
and
dry ice), integrated express companies, and freight forwarding
companies.
Sales
and Marketing:
The
Company currently has an internal sales and marketing group which manages both
its direct sales efforts and its third party resellers, which include Air
Liquide and SCA Thermosafe. The Company also has relationships with several
other distributors and agents. The Company’s current distribution channels cover
the Americas, Europe and Asia. The Company has no distributors or agents that
account for greater than 10% of overall sales volumes.
The
Company’s geographical sales for the year ended March 31, 2007 and quarters
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were as follows:

Customer
Base:
The
Company believes that the primary customers for its dry vapor shippers (both
the
reusable and the future CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System) are
concentrated in the following markets for the following reasons:
·
|
Pharmaceutical
clinical trials
|
·
|
Gene
biotechnology
|
·
|
Transport
of infectious materials and dangerous goods
|
·
|
Pharmaceutical
distribution
|
·
|
Artificial
insemination and embryo transfer in animals; and
|
·
|
Human
assisted reproduction artificial
insemination
|
Pharmaceutical
Clinical Trials.
Every
pharmaceutical company developing a new drug that must be approved by the Food
and Drug Administration conducts clinical trials to, among other things, test
the safety and efficacy of the potential new drug. In connection with the
clinical trials, the companies may enroll patients from all over the world
who
regularly submit a blood specimen at the local hospital, doctor’s office or
laboratory. These samples are then sent to the specified testing laboratory,
which may be local or in another country. The testing laboratories will
typically set the requirements for the storage and shipment of blood specimens.
While domestic shipping of these specimens is sometimes accomplished adequately
using dry ice, international shipments present several problems, as dry ice,
under the best of circumstances, can only provide freezing for up to 36 hours,
in the absence of re-icing (which is quite costly). Because shipments of
packages internationally can be delayed for more than 36 hours due to flight
cancellations, incorrect destinations, labor problems, ground logistics and
safety reasons, dry ice is not always a reliable and cost effective option.
Clinical trial specimens are often irreplaceable because each one represents
data at a prescribed point in time, in a series of specimens on a given patient,
who may be participating in a trial for years. Sample integrity during the
shipping process is vital to retaining the maximum number of patients in each
trial. The Company’s shippers are ideally suited for this market, as the hold
time provided by its shipper ensures that specimens can be sent over long
distances with minimal concern that they will arrive in a condition that will
cause their exclusion from the trial.
19
Furthermore,
the IATA requires that all airborne shipments of laboratory specimens be
transmitted in either IATA 650 or 602 certified packaging. Once the Company
has
developed and obtained IATA certification of the CryoPort Express® One-Way
Shipper System, it will be ideally suited for this market, in particular due
to
the elimination of the cost to return the reusable shipper.
Gene
Biotechnology.
According to a recent edition of the Corporate Technology Directory, there
are
approximately 3600 pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies in the United
States. Of these companies, approximately 2600 are biotechnology companies
and
approximately 1000 are pharmaceutical companies. The gene biotechnology market
includes basic and applied research and development in diverse areas such as
stem cells, cloning, gene therapy, DNA tumor vaccines, tissue engineering,
genomics, and blood products. Company’s participating in the foregoing fields
rely on the frozen transport of specimens in connection with their research
and
development efforts.
Transport
of Infectious Materials and Dangerous Goods.
The
transport of potentially infectious materials demands strict adherence to
regulations that protect public safety while maintaining the viability of the
material being shipped. All blood products are considered to be potentially
infective and must be treated as such. Pharmaceutical companies, private
research laboratories and hospitals ship tissue cultures and microbiology
specimens, which are also potentially infectious materials, between a variety
of
entities, including private and public health reference laboratories. Almost
all
specimens in this infectious materials category require either a refrigerated
or
frozen environment.
According to a doctor at the National Institute of Health (NIH), over 2 million
vials of potentially infective material are shipped domestically or
internationally each year, within the NIH alone. The Company initially developed
its DG1000 shipper to meet the shipping requirements of this
market.
Partly
in
response to the attack on the World Trade Center and the anthrax scare,
government officials and health care professionals are focusing renewed
attention on the possibility of attacks involving biological and chemical
weapons such as anthrax, smallpox and sarin gas. Efforts expended on research
and development to counteract biowarfare agents requires the frozen transport
of
these agents to and from facilities conducting the research and development.
Vaccine research, including methods of vaccine delivery, also requires frozen
transport. The Company’s DG1000
shipper
is suited to this type of research and development.
Pharmaceutical
Distribution.
The
current focus for the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System under development
is in the area of pharmaceutical distribution. There are a significant number
of
therapeutic drugs and vaccines currently or soon to be, undergoing clinical
trials. After the FDA approves them for commercial distribution, it will be
necessary for the manufacturers to have a reliable and economical method of
distribution to the physician who will administer the product to the patient.
Although there are not now a large number of drugs, there are a substantial
number in the development pipeline. It is likely that the most efficient and
reliable method of distribution will be to ship a single dosage to the
administering physician. These drugs are typically identified to individual
patients and therefore will require a complete tracking history from the
manufacturer to the patient. The most reliable method of doing this is to ship
a
unit dosage specifically for each patient. Because the drugs require maintenance
at frozen or cryogenic temperatures, each such shipment will require a frozen
or
cryogenic shipping package. The Company anticipates being in a position to
service that need.
Artificial
Insemination and Embryo Transfer in Animals.
The
primary animal artificial insemination market that the Company is interested
in
is the bovine market. Markets of secondary interest are the equine, swine,
sheep
and canine markets. The largest established market is dairy cattle, followed
by
beef cattle and horses. In addition, the swine breeding industry is rapidly
converting to artificial insemination for breeding purposes.
The
bovine semen shipping market can be divided into three distinct
parts:
·
|
The
shipment of very large numbers of semen straws from one large artificial
insemination company to another;
|
·
|
The
shipment of fewer straws from large artificial insemination companies
to
smaller distributors; and
|
·
|
The
“residential” shipment of small quantities of straws to small farms and
dairies.
|
Although
the bovine market is the largest and most mature market for shipping semen
in
dry vapor shippers, the use of this procedure for other species such as swine
appears to be rapidly increasing.
20
Breeding
horses by artificial insemination or embryo transfer is also becoming
commonplace and has a growing international component. Shipping valuable animals
for purposes of breeding is both costly and potentially injurious. The demand
for desirable equine genetics for improving breeding stock has led to the
shipment of semen or embryos to every part of the world.
Sheep,
goats, dogs and exotic species are also being increasingly bred by artificial
insemination. Airlines do not want to assume the liability of shipping live
animals and discourage the practice whenever possible. While it was previously
common for dogs to be shipped for breeding purposes, canine sperm banks are
shipping semen at an increasing rate.
Assisted
Human Reproduction.
According to The Wall Street Journal, January 6, 2000 issue, 30,000 infants
are
born annually in the United States through artificial insemination and according
to Department of Health statistics, 10 million Americans annually are affected
by infertility problems. It is estimated that this represents at least 50,000
doses of semen. Since relatively few sperm banks provide donor semen, frozen
shipping
is almost always involved. As with animal semen, human semen must be stored
and
shipped at cryogenic temperatures to retain viability, to stabilize the cells
and to ensure reproducible results. This can only be accomplished with the
use
of liquid nitrogen or LN 2
dry
vapor shippers. The Company anticipates that this market will continue to
increase as this practice gains acceptance in new areas of the
world.
Competition:
Within
the Company’s intended markets for the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System,
there is no currently known competition. The Company intends to become
competitive by reason of improved technological characteristics and by
introducing the concept of disposability and single use products. None of the
traditional suppliers of cryogenic shippers is known to have competitive
equipment nor are they expected to have anything available within a short period
of time. The traditional suppliers, Chart Industries, Harsco, and Air Liquide
have various models of dry shippers available that sell at prices that preclude
any concept of disposability. On the other hand, they are more established
and
have larger organizations and have greater financial, operational, sales and
marketing resources and experience in research and development than the Company
does. Other competitive factors include the ability of the shipper to retain
liquid nitrogen when placed in non-upright positions, the overall
“leak-proofness” of the package which determines compliance with shipping
regulations and the overall weight and volume of the package which determines
shipping costs.
Industry
Overview:
The
Company’s products are sold into a rapidly growing niche of the packaging
industry focused on the temperature sensitive packaging and shipping of
biological materials. Expenditures for “value added” packaging for frozen
transport have been increasing for the past several years and are expected
to
continue to increase even more in the future as more domestic and international
biotechnology firms introduce pharmaceutical products that require continuous
refrigeration at cryogenic temperatures. This will require a greater dependence
on passively controlled temperature transport systems (i.e., systems having
no
external power source). [References: Cryopak Industries -

|
Many
of
the biological products in these above markets require transport in a frozen
state as well as the need for shipping containers which have the ability to
maintain a frozen, cryogenic environment (e.g., -150°C) for a period ranging
from two to ten days (depending on the distance and mode of shipment). These
products include semen, embryo, tissue, tissue cultures, cultures of viruses
and
bacteria, enzymes, DNA materials, vaccines and certain pharmaceutical products.
In some instances, transport of these products requires temperatures at, or
approaching, -196°C.
One
problem faced by many companies operating in these specialized markets is the
limited number of cryogenic shipping systems serving their needs, particularly
in the areas of pharmaceutical companies conducting clinical trials. The
currently adopted protocol, and the most common
method for packaging frozen transport in these industries is the use of solid
carbon dioxide (dry ice). Dry ice is used in shipping extensively to maintain
a
frozen state for a period of one to four days. Dry ice is used in the transport
of many biological products, such as pharmaceuticals, laboratory specimens
and
certain infectious materials that do not require true cryogenic temperatures.
The common approach to shipping these items via ground freight is to pack the
product in a container, such as an expanded polystyrene (Styrofoam) box or
a
molded polyurethane box, with a variable quantity of dry ice. The box is taped
or strapped shut and shipped to its destination with freight charges based
on
its initial shipping weight.
21
With
respect to shipments via specialized courier services, there is no standardized
method or device currently in use for the purpose of transporting
temperature-sensitive frozen biological specimens. One common method for courier
transport of biologicals is to place frozen specimens, refrigerated specimens,
and ambient specimens into a compartmentalized container, similar in size to
a
55 quart Coleman or Igloo cooler. The freezer compartment in the container
is
loaded with a quantity of dry ice at minus 78°C, while the refrigerated
compartment at 8°C utilizes ice substitutes.
Two
manufacturers of the polystyrene and polyurethane containers frequently used
in
the shipping and courier transport of dry ice frozen specimens are Insulated
Shipping Containers, Inc. and SCA Thermosafe (formerly Polyfoam Packers
Corporation). When these containers are used with dry ice, the average
sublimation rate (e.g., the rate at which dry ice turns from a solid to a
gaseous state) in a container with a one and one-half inch wall thickness is
slightly less than three pounds per 24 hours. Other existing refrigerant systems
employ the use of gel packs and ice substitutes for temperature maintenance.
Gels and eutectic solutions (phase changing materials) with a wide range of
phasing temperatures have been developed in recent years to meet the needs
of
products with varying specific temperature control requirements.
The
use
of dry ice and ice substitutes, however, regardless of external packaging used,
are frequently inadequate because they do not provide low enough storage
temperatures and, in the case of dry ice, last for only a few days without
re-icing. As a result, companies run the risk of increased costs due to lost
specimens and additional shipping charges due to the need to
re-ice.
Some
of
the other disadvantages to using dry ice for shipping or transporting
temperature sensitive products are as follows:
·
|
Availability
of a dry ice source;
|
·
|
Handling
and storage of the dry ice;
|
·
|
Cost
of the dry ice;
|
·
|
Weight
of containers when packed with dry ice;
|
·
|
Securing
a shipping container with a high enough R-value to hold the dry ice
and
product for the required time period; and
|
Securing
a shipping container that meets the requirements for International
Air
Transportation Association (“IATA”), the Department of Transportation
(“DOT”), the Center for Disease Control (“CDC”), and other regulatory
agencies.
|
Due
to
the limitations of dry ice, shipment of specimens at true cryogenic temperatures
can only be accomplished using liquid nitrogen (LN 2
) dry
vapor shippers, or by shipping over actual liquid nitrogen. While such shippers
provide solutions to the issues encountered when shipping with dry ice, they
too
are experiencing some criticisms by users or potential users. For example,
the
cost for these products typically can range from $650 to $3,000 per unit, which
can substantially limit their use for the transport of many common biologicals,
particularly with respect to small quantities such as is the case with direct
to
the physician drug delivery. Because of the initial cost and limited production
of these containers, they are designed to be reusable. However, the cost of
returning these heavy containers can be significant, particularly in
international markets, because most applications require only one-way
shipping.
Another
problem with these existing systems relates to the hold time of the unit in
a
normal, upright position versus the hold time when the unit is placed on its
side or inverted. The liquid nitrogen can leak out of the container when it
is
positioned on its side or inverted. This leaking will compromise the
dependability of these dry shippers, particularly when used in circumstances
requiring lengthy shipping times. The Company’s current reusable shippers have
only a 40% reduction in hold time when placed on their sides or inverted. One
of
the Company’s significant competitors, Chart Industries, Inc., publishes on
their web site, a 60% reduction in hold time when its units are placed on their
side and a 90% reduction when its units are inverted. Since other competitors
use similar absorbent materials to that used by Chart Industries, Inc., the
Company believes the performance characteristics will be similar for their
products of this particular size and volume.
Finally,
these containers are often promoted as being durable due to their metal
construction. However, rough handling can result in the puncturing of the outer
shell or cracking at the neck area, resulting in the loss of the high vacuum
insulation. This renders the shippers useless. A hard-shell shipping enclosure
is available as an optional accessory to provide additional protection for
these
units at an additional cost to the user. The metal construction also adds to
the
weight of the container, thereby adding substantially to shipping
costs.
The
CryoPort Solution:
During
the past several years, a number of trends have emerged in the
temperature-sensitive packaging industry as a result of economic and
technological
changes. The Company has focused its product development efforts to respond
to
what it perceives to be the more significant of these trends, specifically
the
following:
·
|
Smaller,
more efficient packaging (increasing thermal
density);
|
22
Emphasis
on decreasing costs and system simplification;
|
|
·
|
Need
for turnkey services;
|
·
|
Development
of international programs and markets;
|
·
|
Centralization
of commercial products and services; and
|
·
|
Development
of regulatory standards.
|
Smaller,
More Efficient Packaging.
Advances
in both materials and manufacturing technology have made it possible to reduce
the size, weight, complexity and cost of packaging, while increasing the
capabilities of high performance packaging. These advances are the result of
developments in the aerospace industry in the areas of high strength, low weight
materials and thermal technology. The Company is applying this technology in
its
product development efforts, and believes that it is at the forefront of
applying this technology in the public sector. The Company’s development efforts
are focused on the application of polymers and high volume metal casting and
forming methods that have traditionally been excluded from the cryogenic
industry because product quantities have been too low to efficiently utilize
these materials and methods. CryoPort currently manufactures its reusable
shipper with an approximate liquid nitrogen volume of five liters. The Company’s
future intended products will be a range of shippers with liquid nitrogen
capacities from approximately one to five liters in size.
Emphasis
on Decreasing Costs and System Simplification.
Because
current dry vapor LN 2
shipping
containers are expensive, many users do not keep an ample supply on hand.
Consequently, some users require that these be returned promptly. This often
results in very expensive express return shipping which will significantly
magnify as shipping volumes increase. This has created a demand for smaller,
lower cost dry vapor LN 2
shipping
containers. In addition, many users have expressed a strong interest in the
production of a dry vapor LN 2
shipper
that is inexpensive enough to be used in a disposable or limited usage manner.
The current sales price of CryoPort’s reusable shippers range from $735 to
$1,095. The price range for the proposed CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper
System when launched is initially expected to range from $50 to $100 per use,
depending on size and contractual commitments.
As
previously noted, dry vapor LN 2
shipping
containers are made of medium gauge metal that makes them vulnerable to denting
and breaking and increases shipping costs due to the added weight. Additionally,
their design requires that they be kept in an upright position to achieve
advertised hold times. If they are placed in a horizontal position, LN
2
can leak
out or boil off, substantially reducing their hold times. The Company
anticipates manufacturing its shippers in smaller sizes from lighter weight
materials that significantly reduce their weight (thereby reducing shipping
costs) and manufacturing cost, which will allow them to be used one time for
outbound shipments. Additionally, the patented absorbent used to hold the LN
2
much
more efficiently retains liquid when its shippers are positioned on their sides
or inverted. The Company has significantly reduced the possible loss of liquid
nitrogen refrigerant that all dry shippers experience when not kept
vertical.
Turnkey
Services.
The
pharmaceutical industry depends on clinical trials for Food and Drug
Administration approval of new drugs. A significant number of these trials
require frozen transport of specimens obtained from patients in the study.
A
number of pharmaceutical companies now specify temperature-sensitive frozen
packaging and services as part of “turnkey” contracts with contract research
organizations. To meet the demands of their customers, freight forwarding
companies, such as World Courier, Federal Express and DHL, take responsibility
for procuring appropriate packaging, shipping by airline, and delivering the
specimens to the point of analytical testing. This comprehensive service
addresses the stringent requirements imposed by pharmaceutical companies to
ensure appropriate quality control for their clinical studies. The Company
believes its dry shippers offered by the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper
System will greatly enhance the reliability of the quality control
required.
Development
of International Programs and Markets.
The
biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries are now transnational industries
with locations in various parts of the industrially developed and developing
world. Since many products produced by these industries must be shipped in
temperature-sensitive packaging, the logistical problems presented by longer
distances, and sometimes unreliable forwarding entities, are becoming of greater
concern. Weekends, holidays, lost containers, hot weather and indirect courier
routes all place a strain on the ability of current shipping devices to provide
appropriate temperatures when extraordinary delays are encountered. Because
the
Company’s shippers are able to maintain frozen or cryogenic temperatures of
minus 150°C, or below, for up to 10 days, its shippers are better able to insure
the integrity of specimens affected by unexpected shipping delays. Further,
the
maximum guaranteed temperature hold time of the Company’s 5 liter shipper is 16
days which is quoted under perfect and ideal conditions when in a "static"
(i.e.
stationary) condition only. The functional (in shipping use) hold time of this
same 5 liter shipper is 10 days. Functional hold times are intended to be an
indication only of how many days a shipper can be expected
to hold its temperature when subjected to normal shipping usage
.
Centralization
of Commercial Products and Services.
In
recent years, the competitive environment in health care has intensified
rapidly, while increased managed care participation, coupled with Medicare
and
Medicaid reimbursement issues, have placed significant pressure to increase
efficiency on market segments that service the health care industry. These
include the diagnostic clinical laboratory industry and pharmaceutical industry.
In response to these, and other pressures, the clinical laboratory industry
experienced a consolidation, through both acquisition
and attrition, which resulted in fewer, more centralized testing locations,
processing a larger volume of specimens. With fewer testing sites processing
increased volumes, a tremendous strain has been placed on the traditional modes
for transporting these goods.
23
With
respect to the pharmaceutical industry, the emergence of international
pharmaceutical conglomerates through mergers and acquisitions, such as Smith
Kline Beecham, and the dramatic growth of relatively new companies such as
Amgen, coupled with the emergence of contract research organizations, such
as
Quintiles (with testing laboratories in Atlanta, Georgia, Buenos Aires,
Edinburgh, Pretoria, Singapore and Melbourne), which contract with
pharmaceutical companies to handle, among other things, clinical trials and
testing, means that distribution networks for the transport of
temperature-sensitive products have become much more complex.
The
Company believes that it has developed, and is developing, products that are
ideally suited to address the issues presented by these trends.
Development
of Regulatory Standards.
The
shipping of diagnostic specimens, infectious substances and dangerous goods,
whether via air or ground, falls under the jurisdiction of many state, federal
and international agencies. The quality of the containers, packaging materials
and insulation that protect a specimen determine whether or not it will arrive
in a usable condition. Many of the regulations for transporting dangerous goods
in the United States are determined by international rules formulated under
the
auspices of the United Nations. For example, the International Civil Aviation
Organization (“ICAO”) is the United Nations organization that develops
regulations (Technical Instructions) for the safe transport of dangerous goods
by air. If shipment is by air, compliance with the rules established by IATA
is
required. IATA is a trade association made up of airlines and air cargo carriers
that publishes annual editions of the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations. These
regulations interpret and add to the ICAO Technical Instructions to reflect
industry practices. Additionally, the CDC has regulations (published in the
Code
of Federal Regulations) for interstate shipping of specimens, and the
Occupational Safety and Health Organization (“OSHA”) also addresses the safe
handling of Class 6.2 Substances. The Company’s DG1000 meets packing instruction
602 and 650 and is certified for the shipment of Class 6.2 Dangerous Goods
per
the requirements of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
Technical Instructions for the Safe Transport of Dangerous Goods by Air and
the
International Air Transport Association (IATA).
Research
and Development:
The
Company’s principal research and development activities for the years 2006 and
2007 continued to center around the investigation of materials of construction
for the products and packages with the view of identifying those materials
that
yield fabrication costs consistent with the concept of disposability. A unit
dose shipper was developed for the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System and
designs of a second concept were completed. Other research and development
effort was directed toward improvements to the liquid nitrogen retention system
to render it more reliable in the general shipping environment and to the design
of the outer packaging for all sizes of shippers to be offered by the CryoPort
Express® One-Way Shipper System. The Company’s research and development
expenditures during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $87,857
and $254,487, respectively.
Manufacturing:
The
component parts for the Company’s products are primarily manufactured at third
party manufacturing facilities. The Company also has a warehouse at the
corporate offices in Brea, California, where the Company is capable of
manufacturing certain parts and full assembly of its products. Most of the
components that the Company uses in the manufacture of its products are
available from more than one qualified supplier. For some components, however,
there are relatively few alternate sources of supply and the establishment
of
additional or replacement suppliers may not be accomplished immediately,
however, the Company has identified alternate qualified suppliers which the
Company believes could replace existing suppliers. Should this occur, the
Company believes the maximum disruption of production could be a short period
of
time, on the order of approximately four to six weeks. The Company anticipates
that this will initially be the case with the outer shell the Company is
developing for the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System product
line.
Primary
manufacturers include Spaulding Composites Company, Peterson Spinning and
Stamping, Lydall Industrial Thermal Solutions, Ludwig, Inc., and Porex Porous
Products Group. There are no specific agreements with any manufacturer nor
are
there any long term commitments to any. It is believed that any of the currently
used manufacturers could be replaced within a short period of time as none
have
a proprietary component nor a substantial capital investment specific to the
Company’s products.
The
Company’s manufacturing process uses non-hazardous cleaning solutions which are
provided and disposed of by an EPA approved supplier. EPA compliance costs
for
the company are therefore negligible.
Patents:
In
order
to remain competitive, the Company must develop and maintain protection on
the
proprietary aspects of its technologies. The Company relies on a combination
of
patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secret laws and confidentiality
agreements to protect its intellectual property rights. The Company currently
holds two issued U.S. trademarks and three issued U.S. patents primarily
covering various aspects of its
products. In addition, the Company intends to file for additional patents to
strengthen its intellectual property rights. The technology covered by the
above
indicated patents refer to matters specific to the use of liquid nitrogen dewars
relative to the shipment of biological materials. The concepts include those
of
disposability, package configuration details, liquid nitrogen retention systems,
systems related to thermal performance, systems related to packaging integrity,
and matters generally relevant to the containment of liquid nitrogen. Similarly,
the trademarks mentioned relate to the cryogenic temperature shipping activity.

The
Company’s success depends to a significant degree upon its ability to develop
proprietary products and technologies and to obtain patent coverage for these
products and technologies. The Company intends to continue to file patent
applications covering any newly developed products, components, methods and
technologies. However, there can be no guarantee that any of its pending or
future filed applications will be issued as patents. There can be no guarantee
that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or some third party will not initiate
an interference proceeding involving any of its pending applications or issued
patents. Finally, there can be no guarantee that its issued patents or future
issued patents, if any, will provide adequate protection from competition,
as
discussed below.
Patents
provide some degree of protection for the Company’s proprietary technology.
However, the pursuit and assertion of patent rights involve complex legal and
factual determinations and, therefore, are characterized by significant
uncertainty. In addition, the laws governing patent issuance and the scope
of
patent coverage continue to evolve. Moreover, the patent rights the Company
possesses or are pursuing generally cover its technologies to varying degrees.
As a result, the Company cannot ensure that patents will issue from any of
its
patent applications, or that any of its issued patents will offer meaningful
protection. In addition, the Company’s issued patents may be successfully
challenged, invalidated, circumvented or rendered unenforceable so that its
patent rights may not create an effective barrier to competition. Moreover,
the
laws of some foreign countries may not protect its proprietary rights to the
same extent, as do the laws of the United States. There can be no assurance
that
any patents issued to the Company will provide a legal basis for establishing
an
exclusive market for its products or provide it with any competitive advantages,
or that patents of others will not have an adverse effect on its ability to
do
business or to continue to use its technologies freely.
The
Company may be subject to third parties filing claims that its technologies
or
products infringe on their intellectual property. The Company cannot predict
whether third parties will assert such claims against it or whether those claims
will hurt its business. If the Company is forced to defend itself against such
claims, regardless of their merit, the Company may face costly litigation and
diversion of management’s attention and resources. As a result of any such
disputes, the Company may have to develop, at a substantial cost, non-infringing
technology or enter into licensing agreements. These agreements may be
unavailable on terms acceptable to it, or at all, which could seriously harm
the
Company’s business or financial condition.
The
Company also relies on trade secret protection of its intellectual property.
The
Company attempts to protect trade secrets by entering into confidentiality
agreements with third parties, employees and consultants. It is possible that
these agreements may be breached, invalidated or rendered unenforceable, and
if
so, the Company’s trade secrets could be disclosed to its competitors. Despite
the measures the Company has taken to protect its intellectual property, parties
to its agreements may breach confidentiality provisions in its contracts or
infringe or misappropriate its patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets
and other proprietary rights. In addition, third parties may independently
discover or invent competitive technologies, or reverse engineer its trade
secrets or other technology. Therefore, the measures the Company is taking
to
protect its proprietary technology may not be adequate.
25
Government
Regulation:
The
Company is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws relating to such
matters as safe working conditions, manufacturing practices, environmental
protection, fire hazard control, and disposal of hazardous or potentially
hazardous substances. The Company may incur significant costs to comply with
such laws and regulations now or in the future.
Users
of
the Company’s shippers are subject to state, federal and international
government and/or agency regulation with respect to the shipment of diagnostic
specimens, infectious substances and dangerous goods. The quality of the
containers, packaging materials and insulation that protect a specimen determine
whether or not it will arrive in a usable condition. Many of the regulations
for
transporting dangerous goods in the United States are determined by
international rules formulated under the auspices of the United Nations.
Companies shipping certain items must comply with any applicable Department
of
Transportation and ICAO regulations, as well as rules established by IATA,
the
CDC, OSHA and any other relevant regulatory agency.
Employees
As
of the
date hereof, we have six employees and five consultants.
Description
of Property
On
July
2, 2007, the Company entered into a 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
initial monthly lease payments of $1.00 per square foot or $11,881 plus $0.23
per square foot or $2,733 per month for triple-net overhead building costs
equaling a total monthly payment of $14,614 during the first year of occupancy.
During the second year of occupancy, monthly per square foot lease payments
increase to $1.04 or $12,356. 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.
The
Company is not currently subject to any legal proceedings that may have an
adverse impact on our assets or results of operations.

Board
of Directors Meetings and Committees:
During
the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007, there were six meetings of the board
of
directors as well as several actions taken with the unanimous written consent
of
the directors. The Board has established an Audit Committee and a Compensation
and Governance Committee. The Board is currently reviewing the requirements
for
and the need to set up an executive committee and other committees to help
its
board of directors oversee the operations of the Company.
Audit
Committee
The
Company’s board of directors has a formally established audit committee and an
adopted Audit Committee Charter. The Company has determined that Adam Michelin,
Audit Committee Chairman, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as
defined in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K of the Securities and Exchange
Commission rules and is “independent” within the meaning of Rule 4200(a) (15) of
the National Association of Securities Dealers. Mr. Fischer and Mr. Scott
comprise the remaining audit committee members. The audit committee reviews
the
qualifications of the independent auditors, our annual and interim financial
statements, the independent auditors’ report, significant reporting or operating
issues and corporate policies and procedures as they relate to accounting and
financial controls.
Compensation
and Governance Committee
The
current members of the Compensation and Governance Committee as appointed by
the
Board are Thomas Fischer, Chairman, Gary Cannon, and Steven Puente. Mr. Puente
is an outside expert consultant serving on the Compensation and Governance
Committee.
Nominating
Procedures and Criteria
The
Company does not have a nominating committee. The function of the nominating
committee is handled by the Company’s Compensation and Governance
Committee.
28
Compensation
Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
None
of
the members of the Compensation Committee is or has been an officer or employee
of the Company.
Section
16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance.
Section
16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our officers
and directors and those persons who beneficially own more than 10% of the
Company’s outstanding shares of common stock to file reports of securities
ownership and changes in such ownership with the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Officers, directors, and greater than 10% beneficial owners are
also
required by rules promulgated by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all
Section 16(a) forms they file.
Based
solely upon a review of the copies of such forms furnished to the Company,
we
believe that during the year ended March 31, 2007, all Section 16(a) filing
requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than 10%
beneficial owners were complied with.
Code
of Ethics for Principal Executive Officers and Senior Financial
Officers.

Board
of Directors has adopted a Code of Ethics applicable to the Chief Executive
Officer, the Vice President of Finance, as well as all of the senior financial
officers. The Code of Ethics of the Company is available, free of charge, on
request by writing to the Secretary of the Company.
29
Compensation
Discussion and Analysis
The
Compensation and Governance Committee, consisting of two members of the Board
of
Directors and one expert consultant, administers the executive compensation
program. The role of the Compensation and Governance Committee is to oversee
the
Company’s compensation and benefit plans and policies, administer stock and
option plans and review and approve annually all compensation decisions relating
to the executive officers of the Company.
The
compensation programs are designed to remunerate the Company’s executives and
are intended to provide incentive to the senior executives and other employees
to maximize shareholder value, which in turn affects the overall compensation
earned by the Company’s management. The Company has adopted compensation
programs designed to achieve the following:
|
·
|
Attract,
motivate and retain superior talent;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Encourage
high performance and promote accountability;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Ensure
that compensation is commensurate with the company’s annual performance;
and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
Provide
performance awards for the achievement of financial and operational
targets and strategic objectives, essential to the Company’s long-term
growth.
|
The
Compensation and Governance Committee evaluates the compensation plans for
executive officers taking into account strategic goals and performance metrics.
In addition, the Compensation Committee performs reviews of all Company
compensation policies, including policies and strategy relating to executive
compensation, as well as the appropriate mix of base salary and incentive
compensation.
Elements
of Compensation
Executive
compensation consists of the following elements:
Base
Salary.
Base
salaries for the Company’s executives are generally established based on the
scope of their responsibilities, level of experience and individual performance,
taking into account both external competitiveness and internal equity
considerations. The goal for the base salary component is to compensate
employees at a level that approximates the median salaries of individuals in
comparable positions at similarly situated companies. Base salaries are reviewed
by the Compensation and Governance Committee and may be adjusted from time
to
time at the Compensation and Governance Committee’s discretion.
Incentive
Warrants and Stock Options.
From
time to time the Company grants incentive warrants or stock options to employees
based upon review and recommendation by the Compensation and Governance
Committee and approval of grants by the Board of Directors. All warrants and
stock options are granted at the closing market price of the Company’s stock on
the date of grant.
On
October 1, 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “2002
Plan”). Under the 2002 Plan, incentive stock options and nonqualified options
may be granted to officers, employees and consultants of the Company for the
purchase of the Company’s common stock. The 2002 Plan provides for the issuance
of incentive stock options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The purpose of the 2002 Plan is
to enable the Company to attract, retain and motivate its employees by providing
for performance-based benefits. As of March 31, 2007, 2,488,613 options to
purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock were outstanding under the 2002
Plan, of which 2,488,613 options to purchase shares had vested, and 2,511,387
shares were available for future awards under the 2002 Plan.
The
2002
Plan is administered by the Compensation and Governance Committee which consists
of two members of the Board of Directors and one expert consultant. The
committee’s recommendations are then presented to the full Board of Directors
for approval. The administrator has the power to construe and interpret the
2002
Plan and, subject to provisions of the 2002 Plan, to determine the persons
to
whom and the dates on which awards will be granted, the number of shares to
be
subject to each award, the times during the term of each award within which
all
or a portion of the award may be exercised, the exercise price, the type of
consideration and other terms and conditions of the award. The exercise price
of
stock options under the 2002 Plan may not be less than the fair market value
of
the Common Stock subject to the option on the date of the option grant. The
maximum term of the 2002 Plan is ten years, except that the Board may terminate
the 2002 Plan earlier. The term of each individual award will depend upon the
written agreement between the Company and the grantee setting forth the terms
of
the awards.
30
General
Benefits.
The
Company’s executive employees are eligible to participate in all employee
benefit plans, such as medical insurance. The Company currently does not offer
pension benefits or 401K benefits to any employees.

S. Kelly
Ms.
Kelly
has served as the Company’s Vice President, Finance since August 2003. Ms.
Kelly, a California licensed Certified Public Accountant, works part-time for

Employment
Contracts:
Peter
Berry is subject to an employment agreement with the Company dated November
1,
2002, as amended March 17, 2003, pursuant to which he has been employed as
the
Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. The Agreement provides for an
initial annual base salary of $84,000, which increased to $88,000 and $93,000
in
years two and three, respectively. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement the
Company extended Mr. Berry’s employment agreement for a period of one year
through November 1, 2007, at a base salary of $96,000. On November 1, 2002,
pursuant to the Agreement, the Company granted Mr. Berry a stock option to
purchase up to 500,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $.50
per
share, which option vested as to 125,000 shares on the first anniversary of
the
date of grant, and thereafter vests in 36 equal monthly installments through
November 11, 2006. In the event that the Company terminates Mr. Berry’s
employment without “cause”, as defined in the Agreement, or fails to renew the
Agreement except for “cause”, then upon such termination, the Company is
obligated to pay to Mr. Berry as severance an amount equal to his then current
base salary, plus any earned incentive bonus. In March 2003, the Agreement
was
amended to reflect Mr. Berry’s agreement to a reduced base salary during the
first year of $60,000, and agreement to forego eligibility for an incentive
bonus for such year. In exchange for the foregoing, the Company granted Mr.
Berry an additional stock option to purchase an additional 250,000 shares of
its
common stock at a price of $.50 per share. The option was vested as to 125,000
shares on the date of grant, and 62,500 shares on each of September 30, 2003
and
March 31, 2004. All other terms of the Agreement remained unchanged. The
agreement was further amended by board consent, due to the financial condition
of the Company in 2004 at Mr. Berry’s request, to eliminate the 100% bonus
provision per the contract in year two and defer this bonus into the third
year
of the employment contract. This entitled Mr. Berry to earn up to 200% of his
then salary in the third contract year. Mr. Berry’s bonus earned for the third
year of the Agreement was approved for a total of $100,000 which was included
in
Mr. Berry’s accrued salaries as of March 31, 2006 an converted into a note
payable during fiscal 2007. Mr. Berry’s bonus earned for the fourth year of the
agreement was approved for $30,000 and was included in accrued salaries as
of
March 31, 2007. Of this amount, $15,000 was paid in August 2007.
The
Company has no other employment agreements.
34
Potential
Payments On Termination Or Change In Control:
Pursuant
to the terms of Mr. Berry’s employment agreement, in the event that the Company
terminates Mr. Berry’s employment without “cause”, as defined in the Agreement,
or fails to renew the Agreement except for “cause”, then upon such termination,
the Company is obligated to pay to Mr. Berry as severance an amount equal to
his
current base salary, plus any earned incentive bonus. Aside from Mr. Berry’s
employment contract and one provision in the Company’s 2002 Stock Option Plan
discussed in the next paragraph, the Company does not provide any additional
payments to named executive officers upon their resignation, termination,
retirement, or upon a change of control.
The
2002
Stock Option Plan provides that in the event of a “change of control,” all
options shares will become fully vested and may be immediately exercised by
the
person who holds the option.
Change
in Control Agreements:
There
are
no understandings, arrangements or agreements known by management at this time
which would result in a change in control of CryoPort, Inc. or any
subsidiary.
Equity
Compensation Plan Information:
The
Company currently maintains one equity compensation plan, referred to as the
2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”). The Company’s Compensation and
Governance Committee is responsible for making reviewing and recommending grants
of options under this plan which are approved by the Board of Directors. The
2002 Plan, which was approved by its shareholders in October 2002, allows for
the grant of options to purchase up to 5,000,000 shares of its common stock.
The
2002 Plan provides for the granting of options to purchase shares of the
Company’s common stock at prices not less than the fair market value of the
stock at the date of grant and generally expire ten years after the date of
grant. The stock options are subject to vesting requirements, generally 3 or
4
years. The 2002 Plan also provides for the granting of restricted shares of
common stock subject to vesting requirements. No restricted shares have been
granted pursuant to the 2002 Plan as of June 29, 2007.
The
following table sets forth certain information as of March 31, 2007 concerning
the Company’s common stock that may be issued upon the exercise of options or
pursuant to purchases of stock under its 2002 Plan:

The
number and percentage of shares beneficially owned is determined
in
accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
and the
information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership
for any
other purpose. Under such rule, beneficial ownership includes any
shares
as to which the selling stockholder has sole or shared voting power
or
investment power and also any shares, which the selling stockholder
has
the right to acquire within 60 days. Nevertheless, for purposes hereof,
for each selling stockholder does not give effect to the 4.9% limitation
on the number of shares that may be held by each stockholder as agreed
to
in the warrant held by each selling stockholder which limitation
is
subject to waiver by the holder upon 61 days prior written notice
to us
(subject to a further non-waivable limitation of 9.99%). Unless
otherwise indicated, for each selling stockholder, the number of
shares
beneficially owned prior to this offering consists of shares of common
stock currently owned by the selling stockholder as well as an equal
number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of
warrants.

were
granted to Joseph Stevens & Company, Inc., a registered broker-dealer,
as part of its commission in connection with the private placement
of the
convertible notes and the warrants. Each of these persons, other
than
GunnAllen Financial, is an affiliate of Joseph Stevens. Pursuant
to our
agreement with Joseph Stevens, the parties agreed that the securities
were
to be issued to Joseph Stevens or its designees. Accordingly, the
securities were transferred directly from us to the entities and
individuals. Each of such entities and individuals is an accredited
investor who made the representation that it acquired such securities
for
investment purposes and not with a view to distribution or resale.
Therefore, the transfer of securities was made pursuant to an exemption
from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of
1933.

RECENT
FINANCING
On
October 1, 2007, we issued to a number of accredited investors our Original
Issue Discount 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”)
having a principal face amount of $4,707,705 and generating gross proceeds
to us
of $4,001,551. After accounting for commissions and legal and other fees,
the net proceeds to us totaled $3,436,551.
The
entire principal amount under the Debentures is due and payable 30 months after
the closing date. Interest payments will be payable in cash quarterly
commencing on January 1, 2008. We may elect to make interest payment in
shares of common stock provided, generally, that we are not in default under
the
Debentures and there is then in effect a registration statement with respect
to
the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures or in payment of interest
due thereunder. If we elect to make interest payment 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.
At
any
time, holders may convert the Debentures into shares of common stock at a fixed
conversion price of $0.84, subject to adjustment in the event we issue 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”).
Following
the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms
a part, we may force conversion of the Debentures if the market price of the
common stock is at least $2.52 for 30 consecutive days. We may also prepay
the Debentures in cash at 120% of the then outstanding principal.
The
Debentures rank senior to all of our current and future indebtedness and are
secured by substantially all of our assets.
In
connection with the financing transaction, we issued to the investors five-year
warrants to purchase 5,604,411 shares of our 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
“Warrants”).
We
also
entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors that requires
us
to register the shares issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise
of the Warrants within 45 days after the closing date of the transaction.
If the registration statement is not filed within that time period or is
not declared effective within 90 days after the closing date (120 days in the
event of a full review by the Securities and Exchange Commission), we will
be
required to pay liquidated damages in cash in an amount equal to 2% of the
total
subscription amount for every month that we fail to attain a timely filing
or
effectiveness, as the case may be.
Joseph
Stevens and Company acted as sole placement agent in connection with the
transaction. The Company paid to the placement agent cash in the amount of
$440,000 and issued warrants to purchase 560,364 shares of the Company’s common
stock at $0.84 per share.
39
In
connection with the Share Exchange Agreement with CryoPort Systems, Inc. in
March 2005 (see Note 1), the Company issued 1,000,000 shares to Mr. Dante
Panella, a majority stockholder in exchange for Mr. Panella’s surrender of
1,354,891 shares of CryoPort Systems’ common stock. At the time of the Share
Exchange agreement, Mr. Panella held the position of President, CEO of GT-5
Limited. Pursuant to the Share Exchange Agreement the Company’s then directors
and officers resigned, and the directors and officers of CryoPort Systems,
Inc.
were elected to fill the vacancies created by such resignations. The company’s
name was then changed to CryoPort, Inc. Since the time of the Share Exchange
Agreement, Mr. Panella has not been involved in the management of CryoPort,
Inc.
During
2004, in connection with a private placement offering, Mr. Panella purchased
a
total of 1,217,225 shares of CryoPort Systems, Inc. common stock for $0.04
per
share with total proceeds of $48,689 received by the Company as follows: 250,000
shares purchased on July 23, 2005, 342,225 shares purchased on October 20,
2005,
and 625,000 shares purchased on November 15, 2005.
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,
monthly payments of $3,000 will be made to Mr. Berry beginning in January 2007.
In January 2008, these payments will increase to $6,000 and remain at that
amount until the loan is fully paid in December 2010. During the year ended
March 31, 2007, note payments totaling $9,000 had been made to Mr. Berry
pursuant to this note. Interest of 6% per annum on the outstanding principal
balance of the note will begin to accrue January 1, 2008 and will be paid on
a
monthly basis along with the monthly principal payment beginning in January
2008. As of March 31, 2007, the total amount of deferred salaries under this
arrangement was $242,950 and is recorded as a note payable in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet (see Note 8).
In
June
2005, the Company retained the legal services of Gary C. Cannon, Attorney at
Law, for a monthly retainer fee of $6,500. At that same time, Mr. Cannon also
became the Company’s Secretary and a member of the Company’s Board of Directors.
The total amount paid to Mr. Cannon for retainer fees and out-of-pocket expenses
for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $78,500 and $64,624,
respectively. In August 2006, Mr. Cannon was granted 103,400 warrants with
an
exercise price of $1.00 per share which equaled the fair value of the Company’s
shares on the grant date. In January 2007, Mr. Cannon was granted 51,400
warrants with an exercise price of $0.28 per share which equaled the fair value
of Company’s shares as of the grant date.
On
October 13, 2006, various shareholders advanced the Company short term, zero
interest loans ranging from $2,700 to $5,000 each, totaling $12,700. In December
2006 and January 2007, these loans were paid in full and have no outstanding
balances as of March 31, 2007.
As
of
March 31, 2007 the Company had aggregate principal balances of $1,339,500 in
outstanding unsecured indebtedness owed to five related parties including four
former 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 total monthly principal payments beginning
April 1, 2006 of $2,500, which increase by $2,500 every six months to a maximum
of $10,000. 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 $85,595 and $79,179 for the years ended March 31, 2007
and
2006, respectively. Accrued interest, which is included in notes payable in
the
accompanying balance sheet, related to these notes amounted to $404,341 and
$318,746 as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Subsequent to year end
the
Company failed to make the required payments under the notes. However, pursuant
to the note agreements, the Company has a 120 grace period to pay missed
payments before the notes enter default. Management expects to pay all payments
due prior to the expiration of the 120 day grace period. No new borrowings
have
been made by the Company from these related parties as of June 29,
2007.
40
Our
authorized capital consists of 125,000,000 shares of common stock, $.001 par
value per share, of which 39,825,686 shares were issued and outstanding as
of
October 29, 2007. The following description is a summary and is qualified in
its
entirety by our Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws as currently in
effect.
Common
Stock
Each
holder of common stock is entitled to receive ratable dividends, if any, as
may
be declared by the Board of Directors out of funds legally available for the
payment of dividends. As of the date of this prospectus, we have not paid any
dividends on our common stock, and none are contemplated in the foreseeable
future. We anticipate that all earnings that may be generated from our
operations will be used to finance our growth.
Holders
of common stock are entitled to one vote for each share held of record. There
are no cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. Thus the holders
of more than 50% of the outstanding shares of common stock can elect all of
our
directors if they choose to do so.
The
holders of our common stock have no preemptive, subscription, conversion or
redemption rights. Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders
of our common stock are entitled to receive our assets pro rata.
The
Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Company’s Common Stock is Integrity Stock
Transfer, 3027 E. Sunset Road, Suite 103, Las Vegas, Nevada, 89120.
41
Each
Selling Stockholder (the “ Selling
Stockholders”)
of the
common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest
may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on
the
OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange, market or trading facility
on
which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be
at
fixed or negotiated prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of
the
following methods when selling shares:
|
·
|
ordinary
brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer
solicits purchasers;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
block
trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares
as agent
but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to
facilitate the transaction;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
purchases
by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for
its
account;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
an
exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable
exchange;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
privately
negotiated transactions;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
settlement
of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration
statement of which this prospectus is a part;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
broker-dealers
may agree with the Selling Stockholders to sell a specified number
of such
shares at a stipulated price per share;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
through
the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions,
whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
a
combination of any such methods of sale; or
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
any
other method permitted pursuant to applicable
law.
|
The
Selling Stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities
Act”),
if
available, rather than under this prospectus.
Broker-dealers
engaged by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to
participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from
the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the
purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated, but,
except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency
transaction not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance
with
NASDR Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction a markup or markdown
in compliance with NASDR IM-2440.
In
connection with the sale of the common stock or interests therein, the Selling
Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other
financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common
stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The Selling
Stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these
securities to close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the common
stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities. The Selling
Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with
broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more
derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other
financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such
broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this
prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such
transaction).
The
Selling Stockholders and any broker-dealers or agents that are involved in
selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the
Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions
received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on the resale of the
shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or
discounts under the Securities Act. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the
Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement or understanding,
directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the Common Stock. In
no
event shall any broker-dealer receive fees, commissions and markups which,
in
the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).
The
Company is required to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company
incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to indemnify
the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
Because
Selling Stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of
the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements
of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities
covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under
the
Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.
There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the
proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling Stockholders.
42
We
agreed
to keep this prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which
the
shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration and
without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144(k) under the
Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect or (ii) all of the shares
have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities
Act
or any other rule of similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through
registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable state
securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not
be
sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale in the applicable
state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is
available and is complied with.
Under
applicable rules and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged
in
the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage in market
making activities with respect to the common stock for the applicable restricted
period, as defined in Regulation M, prior to the commencement of the
distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to
applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases
and
sales of shares of the common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other
person. We will make copies of this prospectus available to the Selling
Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this
prospectus to each purchaser at or prior to the time of the sale (including
by
compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).
The
validity of the common stock has been passed upon by Sichenzia Ross Friedman
Ference LLP, New York, New York.
The
consolidated financial statements of CryoPort, Inc. as of March 31, 2007 and
2006 and for each of the years in the two year period ended March 31, 2007,
included in this prospectus, have been audited by KMJ Corbin & Company
LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report
appearing herein, and elsewhere in the registration statement, and have been
so
included in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority
as
experts in accounting and auditing.

DISCLOSURE
OF COMMISSION POSITION ON INDEMNIFICATION FOR SECURITIES ACT
LIABILITIES
Under
the
Nevada General Corporation Law and our Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
our directors will have no personal liability to us or our stockholders for
monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by
a
director of his "duty of care". This provision does not apply to the directors'
(i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and
culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes
to be
contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that
involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval
of
any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit,
(iv)
acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to
the
corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was
aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a
director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its
shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an unexcused pattern of
inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the
corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend,
distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally
absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of
duties, including gross negligence.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

REPORT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To
the
Board of Directors of
CryoPort,
Inc.
We
have
audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CryoPort, Inc. (the
“Company”) as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, and the related consolidated
statements of operations, stockholders' deficit and cash flows for each of
the
years in the two year period ended March 31, 2007. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.
We
conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we
plan
and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is not
required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal
control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal
control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures
that
are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial
reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In
our
opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of CryoPort, Inc. at March
31,
2007 and 2006, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each
of
the years in the two year period ended March 31, 2007 in conformity with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming
that
the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to
the consolidated financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring
losses, and has a stockholders' deficit of $2,287,832 and negative working
capital of $478,396 at March 31, 2007. These factors, among others, raise
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going
concern. Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described
in Note 1. The consolidated financial statements do not include any
adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of asset carrying
amounts or the amount and classification of liabilities that might result should
the Company be unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For
The Years Ended March 31, 2007 and 2006
NOTE
1 - ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS
Organization
CryoPort,
Inc. (the “Company”) was originally incorporated under the name G.T.5-Limited
(“GT5”) on May 25, 1990 as a Nevada Corporation. The Company was engaged in the
business of designing and building exotic body styles for automobiles compatible
with the vehicle’s existing chassis.
On
March
15, 2005, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”)
with CryoPort Systems, Inc. (“CryoPort Systems”), a California corporation, and
its stockholders whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
shares of CryoPort Systems 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 was
originally formed in 1999 as a California limited liability company and was
reorganized into a California corporation on December 11, 2000. CryoPort Systems
was founded to capitalize on servicing the transportation needs of the growing
global “biotechnology revolution.” Effective March 16, 2005, the Company changed
its name to CryoPort, Inc. The transaction has been recorded as a reverse
acquisition (see Note 2).
The
principal focus of the Company is to develop a line of disposable (or one-way)
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 currently manufactures a line of reusable cryogenic dry shippers. These
primarily serve as vehicles for the development of the cryogenic technology
that
supports the disposable product development 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.
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 incurred net losses of $2,326,259 and
$1,522,101 during the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and
used $710,259 and $1,155,962 of cash in operations during 2007 and 2006,
respectfully. The Company has a cash balance of $264,392 at March 31, 2007.
In
addition, at March 31, 2007, the Company’s stockholders’ deficit was $2,287,832
and has negative working capital of $478,396. These factors, among others,
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. The Company’s management recognizes that the Company must obtain
additional capital for the eventual achievement of sustained profitable
operations. Management’s plans include obtaining additional capital through
equity funding sources. However, no assurance can be given that additional
capital, if needed, will be available when required or upon terms acceptable
to
the Company or that the Company will be successful in its efforts to negotiate
an extension of its existing debt. The accompanying consolidated financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome
of
this uncertainty.

NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The acquisition of CryoPort Systems by the Company has been accounted for as
a
reverse acquisition, whereby the assets and liabilities of CryoPort Systems
are
reported at their historical cost. The Company had no assets or operations
at
the date of acquisition. The reverse acquisition resulted in a change in
reporting entity for accounting and reporting purposes. Accordingly, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated
for all periods presented to report the historical financial position, results
of operations and cash flows of CryoPort Systems. Since the Company’s
stockholders retained 5,600,000 shares of common stock in connection with the
reverse acquisition, such shares have been reflected as if they were issued
to
the Company on the date of acquisition for no consideration as part of a
corporate reorganization.
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.
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, the value of options and warrants,
and
product liability reserves.

Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Cash
The
Company maintains its cash accounts in financial institutions. Accounts at
these
institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
up to $100,000. At March 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company had cash balances of
$214,469 and $0, respectively, which were in excess of the FDIC insurance limit.
The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit its
concentration risk exposure.
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 international customers are secured by advance payments or letters
of
credit. 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 and estimated sales returns are provided
based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts which
management believes are sufficient. Accounts receivable at March 31, 2007 and
2006 are net of reserves for doubtful accounts and sales returns of
approximately $7,000 and $54,000, respectively. Although the Company expects
to
collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated
amounts.
The
Company has foreign sales primarily in Europe, Latin America, Asia and Canada.
Foreign sales are primarily under exclusive distribution agreements with
international distributors. During 2007 and 2006, the Company had foreign sales
of approximately $32,000 and $55,000, respectively, which constituted
approximately 47% and 36% of net sales, respectively.
The
majority of the Company’s customers are in the bio-pharmaceutical and animal
breeding 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 consolidated financial instruments consist of cash, accounts
receivable, related party notes payable, payables, accrued expenses, note
payable to officer, convertible notes payable and a note payable to a third
party. The carrying value for all such instruments, except the related party
notes payable, approximates fair value at March 31, 2007 and 2006. The fair
value of the related party notes payable is not determinable as the transactions
were with related parties.
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. Work in process and finished
goods include material, labor and applied overhead. 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
Fixed
assets are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization.
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 and amortization 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
Patents
and trademarks are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated
useful life of five years.

NOTE
2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,

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 March 31, 2007 and 2006, 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 year ended March 31, 2007, the Company
capitalized deferred financing costs of $15,600 and amortized deferred financing
costs of $10,901 to interest expense.
Accrued
Warranty Costs
Estimated
costs of the Company’s standard warranty, included with products at no
additional cost to the customer for a period up to one year, are recorded as
accrued warranty costs at the time of product sale. Costs related to servicing
the standard warranty are charged to the accrual as incurred.
The

Revenue
Recognition
Revenue
is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101,
Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements
, as
revised by SAB 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
The
Company classifies amounts billed for shipping and handling as revenue in
accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-10,
Accounting
for Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs
.
Shipping and handling fees and costs are included in cost of sales.
Advertising
Costs
The
Company expenses the cost of advertising when incurred as a component of
consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses. During 2007 and
2006,
the Company expensed approximately $21,000 and $72,000, 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
Adoption
of SFAS 123(R)
On
April 1, 2006, the Company adopted 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 No. 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. SFAS 123(R) supersedes the Company’s previous
accounting under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting
for Stock Issued to Employees
(“APB
25”). In March 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (“SAB 107”) relating to SFAS 123(R). The
Company has applied the provisions of SAB 107 in its adoption of SFAS
123(R).

The
Company adopted SFAS 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 the Company’s fiscal year 2007. The Company’s
consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended March 31, 2007
reflect the impact of SFAS 123(R). In accordance with the modified prospective
transition method, the Company’s consolidated financial statements for prior
periods have not been restated to reflect, and do not include, the impact of
SFAS 123(R).
SFAS
123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment
awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the
portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as
expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated
statement of operations. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), the Company
accounted for stock-based awards to employees and directors using the intrinsic
value method in accordance with APB 25 as allowed under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting
for Stock-Based Compensation
(“SFAS
123”). Under the intrinsic value method, no stock-based compensation expense had
been recognized in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations, other
than as related to option grants to employees and consultants below the fair
market value of the underlying stock at the date of grant.
Stock-based
compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of
the
portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during
the period.
Stock-based
compensation expense recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended March 31, 2007 included compensation expense
for
share-based payment awards granted prior to, but not yet vested as of March
31,
2006 based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the pro
forma provisions of SFAS 123 and compensation expense for the share-based
payment awards granted subsequent to March 31, 2006 based on the grant date
fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). As
stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended March 31, 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 year ended March 31,
2007 was zero as the Company has not had a significant history of forfeitures
and does not expect forfeitures in the future. There were 1,258,950 warrants
and
no stock options granted to employees and directors during the year ended March
31, 2007.

SFAS
123(R) requires the cash flows resulting from the tax benefits resulting from
tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options
to be classified as financing cash flows. Due to the Company’s loss position,
there were no such tax benefits during the year ended March 31, 2007. Prior
to
the adoption of SFAS 123(R) those benefits would have been reported as operating
cash flows had the Company received any tax benefits related to stock option
exercises.
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 March 31, 2007, 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.

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 bases. 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
.
Basic
loss per common share is computed by dividing the net loss available to common
stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for 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 shares to be issued for
convertible debt would have resulted in an increase of 2,998,382 and 2,915,972
incremental shares for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006.

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).
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
FASB
Statement No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements,
has been
issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). This new standard
provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. Under
Statement 157, fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell
an
asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants in the market in which the reporting entity transacts. In this
standard, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair value should be based
on
the assumptions market participants would use when pricing the asset or
liability. In support of this principle, Statement 157 establishes a fair value
hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active
markets and the lowest priority to unobservable data, for example, the reporting
entity’s own data. Under the standard, fair value measurements would be
separately disclosed by level within the fair value hierarchy. The provisions
of
Statement 157 are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years
beginning after November 15, 2007, and interim periods within those fiscal
years. Earlier application is encouraged, provided that the reporting entity
has
not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year, including any
financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The adoption
of this pronouncement is not expected to have material effect on the Company’s
financial statements.

The
FASB
has issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 00-19-2, Accounting
for Registration Payment Arrangements.
This FSP
specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise
transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued
as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument
or
other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance
with
FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting
for Contingencies.
The FSP
further clarifies that a financial instrument subject to a registration payment
arrangement should be accounted for in accordance with other applicable GAAP
without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant
to the registration payment arrangement. This FSP amends various authoritative
literature notably FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
FASB
Statement No. 150, Accounting
for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities
and
Equity,
and FASB
Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.
This FSP
is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial
instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified
subsequent to December 21, 2006. For registration payment arrangements and
financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into
prior
to December 21, 2006, the guidance in the FSP is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this pronouncement
did not have a material effect on the Company’s financial
statements.
In
July
2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation
No. 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No.
109
(“FIN
48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by
prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before
being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 2006 and is required to be adopted by the Company
on April 1, 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 48 to have
a
material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial
condition.
In
May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections
, a
replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting
Changes
, and
Statement No. 3, Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements
. SFAS
No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a
change in accounting principle. Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting
principles were required recognition via a cumulative effect adjustment within
net income of the period of the change. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective
application to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable
to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of
the
change. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of
errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005;
however, SFAS No. 154 does not change the transition provisions of any
existing accounting pronouncements. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not
have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results
of operations or cash flows.

On
February 15, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including
an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.
SFAS 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 Statement 159 are
elective; however, the amendment to FASB Statement 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 Statement 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.
A
not-for-profit organization will report unrealized gains and losses in its
statement of activities or similar statement. The fair value option: (
a
) may be
applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments
otherwise accounted for by the equity method; ( b
) is
irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and ( c
) is
applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. Statement
159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the
beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice
in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the
provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements.
The
adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have material effect on the

As
of
March 31, 2007, the Company had net operating loss carry forwards of
approximately $7,700,000 and $7,700,000 for federal and state income tax
reporting purposes, respectively, which expire at various dates through 2026
and
2016, respectively.
The
utilization of the net operating loss carry forwards might be limited due to
restrictions imposed under federal and state laws upon a change in ownership.
The amount of the limitation, if any, has not been determined at this time.
A
valuation allowance is provided when it is more likely than not that some
portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As a result
of
the Company’s continued losses and uncertainties surrounding the realization of
the net operating loss carry forwards, the Company has recorded valuation
allowances equal to the net deferred tax asset amounts as of March 31, 2007
and
2006.

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 on
the
Company’s consolidated financial 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
10 - STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS
Effective
October 1, 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Stock Option Plan (the “2002
Plan”). The stockholders of the Company approved the 2002 Plan on October 1,
2002. Under the 2002 Plan, incentive stock options and nonqualified options
may
be granted to officers, employees and consultants of the Company for the
purchase of up to 5,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. The exercise
price per share under the incentive stock option plan shall not be less than
100% of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. The exercise
price
per share under the non-qualified stock option plan shall not be less than
85%
of the fair market value per share on the date of grant. Expiration dates for
the grants may not exceed 10 years from the date of grant. The 2002 Plan
terminates on October 1, 2012.
No
incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options were granted during
the
years ended March 31, 2007 and March 31, 2006. All options granted have an
exercise price equal to the fair market value at the date of grant, vest upon
grant or agreed upon vesting schedules and expire five years from the date
of
grant. Therefore, there was no compensation expense recognized for options
issued to employees during 2006. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, total compensation
expense recognized for options issued to consultants in prior years was $222,761
(including a $133,759 charge related to the modification of the option’s
expiration dates) and $61,560 during 2007 and 2006, respectively. As of

10 -STOCK OPTIONS AND WARRANTS, continued
From
time
to time, the Company issues warrants pursuant to various consulting agreements
and other compensatory arrangements. During 2007 and 2006 the Company did not
issue any warrants as the result of any third party service provider
agreements.
During
fiscal 2007, the Company issued a total of 1,258,750 warrants to various board
members, advisory board members, employees, and ongoing consultants to purchase
shares of the Company’s common stock. The weighted average exercise price of
these warrants is $0.76. 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 $955,007 as of the dates of
each grant. The assumptions used under the Black-Scholes pricing model included:
a risk free rate ranging from 4.75% to 4.82%; volatility ranging from 233%
to
282%; an expected exercise term of 5 years; and no annual dividend rate. 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 year ended March 31, 2007.
Certain
warrants issued in conjunction with fundraising activities contain a cashless
exercise provision. Under the provision, the holder of the warrant surrenders
those warrants whose fair market value is sufficient to affect the exercise
of
the entire warrant quantity. The warrant holder then is issued shares based
on
the remaining net warrant and no proceeds are obtained by the Company. The
surrendered warrants are cancelled by the Company in connection with this
transaction.

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,
monthly payments of $3,000 will be made to Mr. Berry beginning in January 2007.
In January 2008, these payments will increase to $6,000 and remain at that
amount until the loan is fully paid in December 2010. During the year ended
March 31, 2007, note payments totaling $9,000 had been made to Mr. Berry
pursuant to this note. Interest of 6% per annum on the outstanding principal
balance of the note will begin to accrue January 1, 2008 and will be paid on
a
monthly basis along with the monthly principal payment beginning in January
2008. As of March 31, 2007, the total amount of deferred salaries under this

The total amount paid to Mr. Cannon for retainer fees and out-of-pocket expenses
for the years ended March 31, 2007 and 2006 were $78,500 and $64,624,
respectively. In August 2006, Mr. Cannon was granted 103,400 warrants with
an

shares on the grant date. In January 2007, Mr. Cannon was granted 51,400
warrants with an exercise price of $0.28 per share which equaled the fair value
of Company’s shares as of the grant date.
On

outstanding unsecured indebtedness owed to five related parties including four
former 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 total monthly principal payments beginning
April 1, 2006 of $2,500, which increase by $2,500 every six months to a maximum
of $10,000. 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 $85,595 and $79,179 for the years ended March 31, 2007
and
2006, respectively. Accrued interest, which is included in notes payable in
the
accompanying balance sheet, related to these notes amounted to $404,341 and
$318,746 as of March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Subsequent to year end
the
Company failed to make the required payments under the notes. However, pursuant
to the note agreements, the Company has a 120 grace period to pay missed
payments before the notes enter default. Management expects to pay all payments
due prior to the expiration of the 120 day grace period. No new borrowings
have
been made by the Company from these related parties as of June 29,
2007.

NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For
The Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
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-QSB and Article 10
of
Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by generally accepted accounting principles 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 three months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative
of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2008. It
is
suggested that the consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with
the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included
in the Company’s Form 10-KSB for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
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. The Company was engaged in the
business of designing and building exotic body styles for automobiles compatible
with the vehicle’s existing chassis.
On
March
15, 2005, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Agreement”)
with CryoPort Systems, Inc. (“CryoPort Systems”), a California corporation, and
its stockholders whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding
shares of CryoPort Systems 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 was
originally formed in 1999 as a California limited liability company and was
reorganized into a California corporation on December 11, 2000. CryoPort Systems
was founded to capitalize on servicing the transportation needs of the growing
global “biotechnology revolution.” Effective March 16, 2005, the Company changed
its name to CryoPort, Inc. The transaction was recorded as a reverse
merger.

(Unaudited)
For
The Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
NOTE
2 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,
continued
The
principal focus of the Company is to market its newly developed CryoPort
Express® One-Way Shipper System, a line of rent-and-return 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 currently manufactures a line of reusable cryogenic dry shippers. These
primarily have served as vehicles for the development of the cryogenic
technology, supporting the product development of the CryoPort Express® One-Way
Shipper System, 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.
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 incurred a net loss of $745,508 during the
three month period ended June 30, 2007 and had a cash balance of $578,549 at
June 30, 2007. In addition, at June 30, 2007, the Company’s stockholders’
deficit was $1,891,020 and the Company had negative working capital of $100,747.
These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability
to continue as a going concern.
The
Company’s management recognizes that the Company must obtain additional capital
for the eventual achievement of sustained profitable operations. Management’s
plans include obtaining additional capital through equity funding sources.
However, no assurance can be given that additional capital, if needed, will
be
available when required or upon terms acceptable to the Company or that the
Company will be successful in its efforts to negotiate an extension of its
existing debt. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. The
Company has raised funds during the three month period ended June 30, 2007
in
the amount of $554,140, net of issuance costs of $67,860.
Basis
of Presentation
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The acquisition of CryoPort Systems by the Company has been accounted for as
a
reverse acquisition, whereby the assets and liabilities of CryoPort Systems
are
reported at their historical cost. The Company had no assets or operations
at
the date of acquisition. The reverse acquisition resulted in a change in
reporting entity for accounting and reporting purposes. Accordingly, the
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been retroactively restated
for all periods presented to report the historical financial position, results
of operations and cash flows of CryoPort Systems. Since the Company’s
stockholders retained 5,600,000 shares of common stock in connection with the
reverse acquisition, such shares have been reflected as if they were issued
to
the Company on the date of acquisition for no consideration as part of a
corporate reorganization.

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.
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 and product liability
reserves.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Cash
The
Company maintains its cash accounts in financial institutions. Accounts at
these
institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
up to $100,000. At June 30, 2007 the Company had $505,999 of cash balances
which
were in excess of the FDIC insurance limit. The Company performs ongoing
evaluations of these institutions to limit its concentration risk
exposure.

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 $4,900 as of June 30, 2007, 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, Latin America, Asia and Canada.
Foreign sales are primarily under exclusive distribution agreements with
international distributors. During the three month periods ended June 30, 2007
and 2006, the Company had foreign sales of approximately $1,431 and $9,650,
respectively, which constituted approximately 26% and 52%, respectively, of
net
sales.
The
majority of the Company’s customers are in the bio-tech, bio-pharmaceutical and
animal breeding 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 consolidated financial instruments consist of cash, accounts
receivable, related party notes payable, payables, accrued expenses, convertible
notes payable and a note payable to a third party. The carrying value for all
such instruments, except the related party notes payable, approximates fair
value at June 30, 2007. 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. Inventories at June 30, 2007 consist of the
following:

Leasehold

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
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 June 30, 2007, 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.

Recognition
Revenue
is recognized in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 101,
Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements
, as
revised by SAB 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

Stock-Based
Compensation
Adoption
of SFAS 123(R)
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 No. 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.
SFAS
123(R) requires companies to estimate the fair value of share-based payment
awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The value of the
portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as
expense over the requisite service periods in the Company’s consolidated
statement of operations.
Stock-based
compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of
the
portion of share-based payment awards that is ultimately expected to vest during
the period.
As
stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements
of
operations for the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 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 three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were zero as the
Company has not had a significant history of forfeitures and does not expect
forfeitures in the future. There were no warrants or stock options granted
to
employees and directors during the three month periods ended June 30, 2007
and
2006.

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 June 30, 2007, 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 f rom 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
were no warrants or stock options granted to employees and directors during
the
three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. There were no vesting of prior
warrants or stock options issued during the three months ended June 30, 2007.
During the three months ended June 30, 2006, in connection with the vesting
of
prior options issued, the Company recorded total charges of $35,288 in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R), which have been included in
selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations. No employee or director warrants or stock options
expired during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The Company issues
new shares from its authorized shares upon exercise of warrants or
options.
As
of
March 31, 2007 all previously issued stock options and warrants were fully
vested. Therefore, as of June 30, 2007 there were no unvested stock options
or
warrants and
no
unrecognized compensation cost related to employee and director stock option
compensation arrangements. The total fair value of shares vested during the
three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 were $0 and $35,288,
respectively.
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.

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 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 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 bases. 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 6).
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
an increase of 3,868,953 and 692,957 shares for the periods ended June 30,
2007
and 2006, 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 effective interest method (see
Note
4).
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued FASB Statement No. 157,
Fair
Value Measurements.
This new
standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and
liabilities. Under Statement 157, fair value refers to the price that would
be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly
transaction between market participants in the market in which the reporting
entity transacts. In this standard, the FASB clarifies the principle that fair
value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when
pricing the asset or liability. In support of this principle, Statement 157
establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to
develop those assumptions. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority
to quoted prices in active markets and the lowest priority to unobservable
data,
for example, the reporting entity’s own data. Under the standard, fair value
measurements would be separately disclosed by level within the fair value
hierarchy. The provisions of Statement 157 are effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged,
provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements
for
that fiscal year, including any financial statements for an interim period
within that fiscal year. The adoption of this pronouncement is not expected
to
have material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
The
FASB
has issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) EITF 00-19-2, Accounting
for Registration Payment Arrangements.
This FSP
specifies that the contingent obligation to make future payments or otherwise
transfer consideration under a registration payment arrangement, whether issued
as a separate agreement or included as a provision of a financial instrument
or
other agreement, should be separately recognized and measured in accordance
with
FASB Statement No. 5, Accounting
for Contingencies.
The FSP
further clarifies that a financial instrument subject to a registration payment
arrangement should be accounted for in accordance with other applicable GAAP
without regard to the contingent obligation to transfer consideration pursuant
to the registration payment arrangement. This FSP amends various authoritative
literature notably FASB Statement No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,
FASB
Statement No. 150, Accounting
for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities
and
Equity,
and FASB
Interpretation No. 45, Guarantor’s
Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect
Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others.
This FSP
is effective immediately for registration payment arrangements and the financial
instruments subject to those arrangements that are entered into or modified
subsequent to December 21, 2006. For registration payment arrangements and
financial instruments subject to those arrangements that were entered into
prior
to December 21, 2006, the guidance in the FSP is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this pronouncement
did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial
statements.

In
July
2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting
for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No.
109
(“FIN
48”). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by
prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before
being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on
derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim
periods, disclosure, and transition. The Company adopted FIN 48 is effective
on
April 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 has not had a material impact on the
Company’s consolidated results of operations and financial
condition.
In
May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections
, a
replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting
Changes
, and
Statement No. 3, Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements
. SFAS
No. 154 changes the requirements for the accounting for and reporting of a
change in accounting principle. Previously, most voluntary changes in accounting
principles were required recognition via a cumulative effect adjustment within
net income of the period of the change. SFAS No. 154 requires retrospective
application to prior periods’ financial statements, unless it is impracticable
to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of
the
change. SFAS No. 154 is effective for accounting changes and correction of
errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005; however,
SFAS No. 154 does not change the transition provisions of any existing
accounting pronouncements. The adoption of SFAS No. 154 did not have a
material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
On
February 15, 2007, the FASB issued FASB Statement No. 159, The
Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities - Including
an
Amendment of FASB Statement No. 115.
SFAS 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 Statement 159 are
elective; however, the amendment to FASB Statement 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 Statement 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.
A
not-for-profit organization will report unrealized gains and losses in its
statement of activities or similar statement. The fair value option: (
a
) may be
applied instrument by instrument, with a few exceptions, such as investments
otherwise accounted for by the equity method; ( b
) is
irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs); and ( c
) is
applied only to entire instruments and not to portions of instruments. Statement
159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year that
begins after November 15, 2007. Early adoption is permitted as of the
beginning of the previous fiscal year provided that the entity makes that choice
in the first 120 days of that fiscal year and also elects to apply the
provisions of FASB Statement No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements.
The
adoption of this pronouncement is not expected to have material effect on the
Company’s consolidated financial statements .

Litigation
The

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.
In connection with its business merger, the Company has indemnified the merger
candidate for certain claims arising from the failure of the Company to perform
any of its representation or obligations under the agreements. 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

amortized the remaining $4,699 of deferred financing costs to interest
expense.
Per
the
terms of the convertible debenture agreements, the notes have a term of 180
days
from issuance and are redeemable by the Company with two days notice. The notes
bear interest at 15% per annum and are convertible into shares of the Company’s

PROSPECTUS
________________,
2007
U ntil
____________, 2007, all dealers that effect transactions in these securities,
whether or not participating in this offering, may be required to deliver a
prospectus. This is in addition to the dealers' obligation to deliver a
prospectus when acting as underwriters and with respect to their unsold
allotments or subscriptions.
You
should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus. We have not
authorized anyone to provide you with information different from that which
is
set forth in this prospectus. We are offering to sell shares of our common
stock
and seeking offers to buy shares of our common stock only in jurisdictions
where
offers and sales are permitted. The information contained in this prospectus
is
accurate only as of the date of this prospectus, regardless of the time of
delivery of this prospectus or any sale of these securities. Our business,
financial condition, results of operation and prospects may have changed after
the date of this prospectus.
PART
II
INFORMATION
NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
Under
the
Nevada General Corporation Law and our Articles of Incorporation, as amended,
our directors will have no personal liability to us or our stockholders for
monetary damages incurred as the result of the breach or alleged breach by
a
director of his "duty of care". This provision does not apply to the directors'
(i) acts or omissions that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing and
culpable violation of law, (ii) acts or omissions that a director believes
to be
contrary to the best interests of the corporation or its shareholders or that
involve the absence of good faith on the part of the director, (iii) approval
of
any transaction from which a director derives an improper personal benefit,
(iv)
acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's duty to
the
corporation or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director was
aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing a
director's duties, of a risk of serious injury to the corporation or its
shareholders, (v) acts or omissions that constituted an unexcused pattern of
inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's duty to the
corporation or its shareholders, or (vi) approval of an unlawful dividend,
distribution, stock repurchase or redemption. This provision would generally
absolve directors of personal liability for negligence in the performance of
duties, including gross negligence.
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933
may
be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act
and
is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant
in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.
The
following table sets forth an estimate of the costs and expenses payable by
Registrant in connection with the offering described in this registration
statement. All of the amounts shown are estimates except the Securities and
Exchange Commission registration fee:

(II) The
undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes to:
(II)
|
file,
during any period in which it offers or sells securities, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement
to:
|
(II)
|
Include
any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities
Act;
|
(ii)
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events which, individually or together,
represent a fundamental change in the information in the registration statement;
and notwithstanding the forgoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not
exceed that which was registered) and any deviation From the low or high end
of
the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospects
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the
changes in the volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the
maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration
Fee” table in the effective registration statement.
(iii)
Include any additional or changed material information on the plan of
distribution.
(g)
for
the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any
purchaser:
Each
prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of a registration statement
relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule
430B
or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed
to be
part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first
used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into
the
registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement
will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first
use,
supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement
or
prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such
document immediately prior to such date of first use.
(2)
For
determining liability under the Securities Act, treat each post-effective
amendment as a new registration statement of the securities offered, and the
offering of the securities at that time to be the initial bona fide
offering.
(3)
File
a post-effective amendment to remove from registration any of the securities
that remain unsold at the end of the offering.
II-5
Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the registrant certifies
that
it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all the requirements for
filing on Form SB-2 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed
on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in Lake Forest,
California, on this November 9, 2007.
