NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For
The Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
for
complete financial statement presentation. However, the Company believes that
the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting primarily of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.
Operating
results for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31,
2008. It is suggested that the unaudited consolidated financial statements
be
read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and
related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-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. In March 2005, the Company entered into a
Share Exchange Agreement, recorded as a reverse acquisition, with CryoPort
Systems, Inc. (“CryoPort Systems”), a California corporation originally formed
in 1999 as a California limited liability company and 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.” As a result of the reverse acquisition, on March 16,
2005, the Company changed its name to CryoPort, Inc.

(Unaudited)
For
The Three and Nine Months Ended December 31, 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
On
October 1, 2007, the Company received net proceeds of $3,436,551 from the
Debentures (see Note 6). Management projects that these proceeds will allow
the
launch of the Company’s new CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper and provide the
Company with the ability to continue as a going concern.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America,
which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company
has not generated significant revenues from operations and has no assurance
of
any future revenues. The Company generated revenues from operations of only
$47,666, incurred a net loss of $2,591,771, and used $1,338,986 in its operating
activities during the nine month period ended December 31, 2007. These factors,
among others, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as
a going concern; however, as a result of the recent financing, the Company
had
an aggregate cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash balance of $2,990,879
at December 31, 2007 which will be used to fund the sales and marketing efforts
as well as provide the working capital required for the Company’s launch of the
CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper and is expected to provide the Company with
the means for eventual achievement of sustained profitable
operations.

NOTE
2 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,
continued
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, product liability reserves and the
valuations of common stock shares, warrants and stock options issued for
products or services.
Cash
and Cash Equivalents
The
Company considers highly-liquid investments with original maturities of 90
days
or less to be cash equivalents.

Restricted
cash
The
Company has invested cash in a one year restricted certificate of deposit
bearing interest at 4.38% which serves as collateral for borrowings under a
line
of credit agreement (see Note 4). At December 31, 2007 the Company’s balance in
the certificate of deposit was $201,467.
Concentrations
of Credit Risk
Cash
and cash equivalents
The
Company maintains its cash and cash equivalent accounts in financial
institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $100,000. At December 31, 2007 the Company
had $2,763,891 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 $5,400 as of December 31, 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 nine month periods ended December 31,
2007 and 2006, the Company had foreign sales of approximately $3,500 and
$27,000, respectively, which constituted approximately 7% and 55%, 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 financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted
cash, accounts receivable, related-party notes payable, note payable to officer,
line of credit, convertible notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses
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
December 31, 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 December 31, 2007 consist of the

Intangible
Assets
Patents
and trademarks are amortized, using the straight-line method, over their
estimated useful life of five years.
Long-Lived
Assets
The
Company’s management assesses the recoverability of its long-lived assets upon
the occurrence of a triggering event by determining whether the depreciation
and
amortization of long-lived assets over their remaining lives can be recovered
through projected undiscounted future cash flows. The amount of long-lived
asset
impairment, if any, is measured based on fair value and is charged to operations
in the period in which long-lived asset impairment is determined by management.
At December 31, 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.
Accrued
Warranty Costs
Estimated
costs of the 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

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
selling, general and administrative expenses. During the nine month periods
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company expensed approximately $15,000
and
$8,000, respectively, in advertising costs.
Research
and Development Expenses
The
Company expenses internal research and development costs as incurred.
Third-party research and development costs are expensed when the contracted
work
has been performed.
Stock-Based
Compensation
The
Company accounts for equity issuances to employees and directors in accordance
to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004),
Share-Based
Payment,
(“SFAS
123(R)”) which establishes standards for the accounting of transactions in which
an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services, primarily
focusing on accounting for transactions where an entity obtains employee
services in share-based payment transactions. SFAS 123(R) requires a public
entity to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an
award of equity instruments, including stock options, based on the grant-date
fair value of the award and to recognize it as compensation expense over the
period the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award,
usually the vesting period.
As
stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statements
of
operations for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 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 and nine month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was zero
as the Company has not had a significant history of forfeitures and does not
expect forfeitures in the future.

Plan
Description
The
Company’s stock option plan provides for grants of incentive stock options and
nonqualified options to employees, directors and consultants of the Company
to
purchase the Company’s shares at the fair value, as determined by management and
the board of directors, of such shares on the grant date. The options generally
vest over a five-year period beginning on the grant date and have a ten-year
term. As of December 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.

There
were no vesting of prior warrants or stock options issued to employees and
directors during the nine months ended December 31, 2007. During the nine months
ended December 31, 2006, in connection with the vesting of prior options issued,
the Company recorded total charges of $1,053,303 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
nine months ended December 31, 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 December 31, 2007 there were no unvested stock options
or warrants
and no
unrecognized compensation cost related to employee and director stock based
compensation arrangements. The total fair value of shares vested during the
nine
months ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was $0 and $215,505
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.

NOTE
2 - ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,
continued
The
Company's accounting policy for equity instruments issued to consultants and
vendors in exchange for goods and services follows the provisions of EITF 96-18,
Accounting
for Equity Instruments That are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring,
or
in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services
and EITF
00-18, Accounting
Recognition for Certain Transactions Involving Equity Instruments Granted to
Other Than Employees.
The
measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued is
determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance
by the consultant or vendor is reached or (ii) the date at which the consultant
or vendor's performance is complete. In the case of equity instruments issued
to
consultants, the fair value of the equity instrument is recognized over the
term
of the consulting agreement. In accordance with EITF 00-18, an asset acquired
in
exchange for the issuance of fully vested, nonforfeitable equity instruments
should not be presented or classified as an offset to equity on the grantor's
balance sheet once the equity instrument is granted for accounting purposes.
Accordingly, the Company records the fair value of the fully vested
non-forfeitable common stock issued for future consulting services as prepaid
services in its consolidated balance sheet.
Income
Taxes
The
Company accounts for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting
for Income Taxes.
Under
the asset and liability method of SFAS No. 109, deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to
differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets
and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable
income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. Under SFAS No. 109, the effect on deferred tax assets
and
liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period
that
includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance is provided for certain
deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that the Company will not
realize tax assets through future operations. The Company is a subchapter "C"
corporation and files a federal income tax return. The Company files separate
state income tax returns for California and Nevada.
Basic
and Diluted Loss Per Share
The
Company has adopted SFAS No. 128, Earnings
Per Share
(see
Note 8).
Basic
loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per share is computed by dividing
net loss by the weighted average shares outstanding assuming all dilutive
potential common shares were issued. Basic and diluted loss per share are the
same as the effect of stock options and warrants on loss per share are
anti-dilutive and thus not included in the diluted loss per share calculation.
The impact
under the treasury stock method of dilutive stock options and warrants and
the
if-converted method of convertible debt would have resulted in weighted average
common shares outstanding of 46,556,651 as for the period ended December 31,
2007 and 35,688,554 for the period ended December 31, 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
6).
Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
The
Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) has issued SFAS No. 157,
Fair
Value Measurements. This
new
standard provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and
liabilities. Under SFAS No. 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, SFAS No. 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 SFAS No. 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 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 effective on April 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a
material impact on the Company’s consolidated results of operations and
financial condition.

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 No.
159 permits an entity to choose to measure many financial instruments and
certain other items at fair value. This option is available to all entities,
including not-for-profit organizations. Most of the provisions in SFAS No.
159
are elective; however, the amendment to 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 SFAS No. 159 permits all entities to choose
to
measure eligible items at fair value at specified election dates. A business
entity will report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair
value
option has been elected in earnings (or another performance indicator if the
business entity does not report earnings) at each subsequent reporting date.
SFAS No. 159 is effective as of the beginning of an entity’s first fiscal year

-
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
lease payments of approximately $15,000 per month. In connection with the lease
agreement, the Company issued 10,000 warrants to the lessor at an exercise
price
of $1.55 per share for a period of two years, valued at $15,486 as calculated
using the Black Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used under the
Black-Scholes pricing model included: a risk free rate of 4.75%; volatility
of
293%; an expected exercise term of 5 years; and no annual dividend rate. The
Company has capitalized and is amortizing the value of the
warrants over the life of the lease and the remaining unamortized value of
the
warrants has been recorded in other long-term assets. As of December 31, 2007,
the unamortized balance of the value of the warrants issued to the lessor was
$11,850.

Litigation
The
Company becomes a party to product litigation in the normal course of business.
The Company accrues for open claims based on its historical experience and
available insurance coverage. In the opinion of management, there are no legal
matters involving the Company that would have a material adverse effect upon
the
Company’s condition or results of operations.
Indemnities
and Guarantees
The
Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees, under which it may be
required to make payments to a guaranteed or indemnified party, in relation
to
certain actions or transactions. The Company indemnifies its directors,
officers, employees and agents, as permitted under the laws of the States of
California and Nevada. In connection with its facility lease, the Company has
indemnified its lessor for certain claims arising from the use of the facility.
The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies, and is generally tied
to
the life of the agreement. These guarantees and indemnities do not provide
for
any limitation of the maximum potential future payments the Company could be
obligated to make. Historically, the Company has not been obligated nor incurred
any payments for these obligations and, therefore, no liabilities have been
recorded for these indemnities and guarantees in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet.
NOTE
4 - LINE OF CREDIT
On
November 5, 2007, the Company secured financing for a $200,000 one-year
revolving line of credit (the “Line”) secured by a $200,000 Certificate of
Deposit with Bank of the West. All borrowings under the revolving line of credit
bear variable interest based on prime less 1% per annum (totaling 6.5% as
of December 31, 2007). The Company utilizes the funds advanced from the Line
for
capital equipment purchases to support the launch of the Company’s newly
developed product, the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper. As of December 31,
2007, the outstanding balance of the Line was $120,000, which equals the total
amounts received against the Line. During the nine months ended December 31,

As
of
December 31, 2007, the Company had aggregate principal balances of $1,279,500
in
outstanding unsecured indebtedness owed to five related parties, including
four
former members of the board of directors, representing working capital advances
made to the Company from February 2001 through March 2005. These notes bear
interest at the rate of 6% per annum and provide for aggregate monthly principal
payments which began April 1, 2006 of $2,500, and which increase by an aggregate
of $2,500 every six months to a maximum of $10,000 per month. As of December
31,
2007, the aggregate principal payments totaled $7,500 per month and are
scheduled to increase to an aggregate of $10,000 per month beginning January
2008. 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 $59,199 and $65,349 for the nine months
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Accrued interest, which is
included in notes payable in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet,
related to these notes amounted to $463,540 as of December 31, 2007.
As
of
December 31, 2007, the Company had not made the required payments under the
related-party notes which were due on October 1, November 1, and December 1,
2007. However, pursuant to the note agreements, the Company has a 120-day grace
period to pay missed payments before the notes are in default. On January 31,
2008, the Company paid the October 1 note payments due on these related-party
notes. Management expects to continue to pay all payments due prior to the
expiration of the 120-day grace periods.
In
August
2006, Peter Berry, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, agreed to convert his
deferred salaries to a long-term note payable. Under the terms of this note,
the
Company began to make monthly payments of $3,000 to Mr. Berry in January 2007.
In January 2008, these payments will increase to $6,000 and remain at that
amount until the loan is fully paid in December 2010. Interest of 6% per annum
on the outstanding principal balance of the note will begin to accrue on January
1, 2008 and will be paid on a monthly basis along with the monthly principal
payment beginning in January 2008. As of December 31, 2007, the total amount

NOTE
6 - CONVERTIBLE NOTES PAYABLE
In
October 2006, the Company entered into an Agency Agreement with a broker to
raise capital in a private placement offering of convertible debentures under
Regulation D. From February 2006 through January 2007, the Company received
a
total of $120,000 under this private placement offering of convertible debenture
debt. Related to the issuance of the convertible debentures, the Company paid
commissions to the broker totaling $15,600, which were capitalized as deferred
financing costs. During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the Company
amortized $4,699 of deferred financing costs to interest expense.
Per
the
terms of the convertible debenture agreements, the notes had a term of 180
days
from issuance and were redeemable by the Company with two days notice. The
notes
bore interest at 15% per annum and were 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 were used in the ongoing operations of the
Company. During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the Company converted
the full $120,000 of principal balances and $8,857 of accrued interest relating
to these convertible debentures into 859,697 shares of common stock at a
conversion price of $0.15 per share. As of December 31, 2007, the remaining
balance of the convertible debenture notes and accrued interest was zero. During
the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded interest expense
of $2,784 related to these notes.
In
connection with the issuance of the convertible debt, the Company recorded
a
debt discount totaling $106,167 related to the beneficial conversion feature
of
the notes. The Company amortized the debt discount using the effective interest
method through the maturity dates of the notes. As of December 31, 2007, the
remaining balance of the debt discount was zero. During the nine months ended
December 31, 2007, the Company recorded additional interest expense of $29,638
related to the amortization of the debt discount.
On
October 1, 2007, the Company issued to four accredited investors Original Issue
Discount 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) having a
principal face amount of $4,707,705 and generating gross proceeds of $4,001,551.
After accounting for commissions, legal and other fees, the net proceeds
to the Company totaled $3,436,551.
The
principal amount under the Debentures is payable to the investors in 24 monthly
payments with a combined total of $196,194 beginning April 1, 2008. The
Company may elect to make principal payments in shares of common stock. If
the
Company elects to make principal 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 a
principal 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 principal payment
date

Interest
payments are payable in cash quarterly commencing on January 1, 2008. The
Company may elect to make interest payments in shares of common stock provided,
generally, that it is not in default under the Debentures and there is then
in
effect a registration statement with respect to the shares issuable upon
conversion of the Debentures or upon exercise of warrants issued to the holders
in connection with the Debentures as discussed below. If the Company
elects to make interest payments in common stock, the conversion rate will
be
the lesser of (a) the Conversion Price (as defined below), or (b) 85% of the
lesser of (i) the average of the volume weighted average price for the ten
consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the applicable date an
interest payment is due or (ii) the average of such price for the ten
consecutive trading days ending immediately prior to the date the applicable
shares are issued and delivered if such delivery is after the interest payment
date.
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 the Company issues
common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock)
at
a price below the conversion price as such price may be in effect at various
times (the “Conversion Price”).
The
Debentures rank senior to all of the Company’s current and future indebtedness
and are secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets.
In
connection with the financing transaction, the Company issued to the investors
five-year warrants to purchase 5,604,411 shares of common stock at $0.92 per
share and two-year warrants to purchase 1,401,103 shares of common stock at
$0.90 per share and 1,401,103 shares of common stock at $1.60 per share
(collectively, the “Warrants”). Valuation of these warrants as calculated using
the Black Scholes option pricing model equaled $7,838,791 on the date of
grant.
Under
EITF 00-27, the value of the warrants issued to the investors is calculated
relative to the total amount of the debt offering. The relative fair value
of
the warrants issued to the investors was determined to be $2,941,267, or 62.5%
of the total offering. The relative fair value of the warrants, along with
the
effective beneficial conversion feature of the debt ($3,557,761) and the face
value discount given to the investors ($706,154), totaled in excess of the
face
amount of the Debentures. As such, the Company recorded a debt discount equal
to
the face value of the Debentures of $4,707,705. The debt discount is being
amortized by the Company through the maturity dates of the Debentures. As of
December 31, 2007, the unamortized balance of the debt discount was $4,220,700.
During
the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded additional
interest expense of $487,005 related to the amortization of the debt discount.

fees of $565,000, including placement agent fees of $440,000 and legal and
other
fees of $125,000, were paid in cash from the gross proceeds of the Debentures.
Joseph Stevens and Company (“Joseph Stevens”) acted as sole placement agent in
connection with the financing transaction. Also in connection with the financing
transaction, the Company issued Joseph Stevens three-year warrants to purchase
560,364 shares of the Company’s common stock exerciseable at $0.84 per share.
The valuation of the warrants issued to Joseph Stevens as calculated using
the
Black Scholes option pricing model was $525,071.
The
total
financing fees of $1,090,071 related to the financing transaction have been
allocated to the equity and debt components of the financing. The Company has
recorded 62.5% of the financing fees ($681,294) as costs related to the issuance
of the equity instruments, and as such has netted those amounts against
additional paid-in capital as of the date of the financing. The remaining 37.5%
($408,777) has been recorded as deferred financing fees on the Company’s
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007. The deferred financing
fees
are being amortized by the Company through the maturity dates of the Debentures
under the effective interest method. During
the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded additional
interest expense of $42,288 related to the amortization of the deferred
financing fees.
The
Company also entered into a registration rights agreement with the investors
that requires the Company to register the shares issuable upon conversion of
the
Debentures and exercise of the Warrants. Pursuant to the registration rights
agreement, on November 9, 2007 the Company filed a Registration Statement on
Form SB-2. On January 25, 2008, the registration statement, as amended, became
effective with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Per the terms of the
registration rights agreement, following the effective date of the registration
statement, the Company may force conversion of the Debentures if the market
price of the common stock is at least $2.52 for 30 consecutive days. The
Company may also prepay the Debentures in cash at 120% of the then outstanding
principal.

General
Overview
The
following discussion and analysis of the Company’s financial condition and
results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited
consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated
statements of operations for each of the three and nine months ended December
31, 2007 and 2006, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months
ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 and the related notes thereto (see Item 1.
Financial Statements) as well as the audited consolidated financial statements
of the Company as of March 31, 2007 and 2006 and for the years then ended
included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended March
31, 2007.

The
Company cautions readers that important facts and factors described in this
Management’s Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation and elsewhere in this
document sometimes have affected, and in the future could affect, the Company’s
actual results, and could cause the Company’s actual results during fiscal year
2008 and beyond to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking
statements made by, or on behalf of the Company.
Going
Concern
As
reported in the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on
the
Company’s March 31, 2007 and 2006 financial statements, the Company has incurred
recurring losses from operations and has a stockholders’ deficit. These factors,
among others, have raised substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern.
There
are
significant uncertainties which negatively affect the Company’s operations.
These are principally related to (i) the limited distribution network for the
Company’s reusable product line, (ii) the expected launch of the new CryoPort
Express® One-Way Shipper System, (iii) the absence of any 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 reusable product, the lack of any purchase requirements in the
existing distribution agreements and those currently under negotiations, make
it
impossible to identify any trends in the Company’s business prospects.
The
Company has not generated significant revenues from operations and has no
assurance of any future significant revenues. The Company incurred net losses
of
$2,591,771 and $1,779,537 during the nine month periods ended December 31,
2007
and 2006. In addition, the Company used $1,338,986 in its operating activities
during the nine months ended December 31, 2007. These factors, among others,
raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going
concern.
The
Company’s management has recognized that the Company must obtain additional
capital for the further development and launch of the one-way product and the
eventual achievement of sustained profitable operations. In response to this
need for capital, on October 1, 2007, the Company issued to four accredited
investors Original Issue Discount 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures
(the
“Debentures”) having a combined principal face amount of $4,707,705 and
generating gross proceeds of $4,001,551. After accounting for
commissions, legal and other fees, the net proceeds to the Company totaled
$3,436,551 (see Note 6 to the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements). Management projects that these proceeds will allow the launch
of
the Company’s new CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper and provide the Company with
the ability to continue as a going concern, which the Company expects to be
reflected in its next quarterly reporting.
Management
is committed to utilizing the proceeds of this October 2007 financing to fully
execute its business plan and grow at the desired rate to achieve sustainable
profitable operations. To further facilitate the ability of the Company to
continue as a going concern the Company’s management has begun taking the
following steps:
1) Focusing
all efforts on the successful launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper.
Now that funds have been made available management efforts will be focused
on
utilizing all resources towards the acquisition of raw materials to provide
adequate inventory levels and towards the expansion of manufacturing and
processing capabilities to support the launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way
Shipper.
Page

2) Continuing
to minimize operating and financing expenditures as necessary to ensure the
availability of funds until revenues generated and cash collections adequately
support the continued business operations. The Company’s largest expenses for
the nine months ended December 31, 2007, relate to non-cash expenses including
(i) $516,643 non-cash expense included in interest expense relating to the
amortization of discounts on convertible debentures, (ii) non-cash expense
recorded in selling, general and administrative costs of $392,500 which were
primarily related to the payment of 375,000 common stock shares in lieu of
cash
for consulting services relating to achieving financing arrangements for the
Company, (iii) $307,011 non-cash expense recorded in selling, general and
administrative costs related to the valuation of warrants issued to various
consultants, directors, and employees, and (iv) approximately $94,000 interest
expense on the convertible debentures which the Company intends to pay in common
stock shares at a conversion rate of $0.84. For the nine months ended December
31, 2007 the Company also incurred cash expenses of (i) approximately $76,000
for the audit fees related to the filing of the Company’s annual and quarterly
reports, SB-2 filing pursuant to the requirements of the convertible debentures
financing, and to the filing of the Company’s annual tax returns and (ii)
approximately $27,000 moving expenses incurred for the relocation of the
Company’s operations from Brea, California to Lake Forest, California. The
remaining operating expenses for the nine months ended December 31, 2007 of
approximately $822,000 related primarily to minimal personnel costs, rent and
utilities and meeting the legal and reporting requirements of a public
company.
3) Utilizing
part-time consultants and requiring employees to manage multiple roles and
responsibilities whenever possible as the Company has historically utilized
in
its efforts to keep operating costs low.
4) Continuing
to require that key employees and the Company’s Board of Directors receive
Company stock in lieu of cash as a portion of their compensation in an effort
to
minimize monthly cash flow. With this strategy, the Company has established
a
critical mass of experienced business professionals capable of taking the
Company forward.
5) Maintaining
current levels for sales, marketing, engineering, scientific and operating
personnel and cautiously and gradually adding critical and key personnel only
as
necessary to support the successful launch and expected revenue growth of the
of
the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper and any further expansion of the Company’s
product offerings in the reusable and one-way cryogenic shipping markets,
leading it to additional revenues and profits.
6) Adding
other expenses such as customer service, administrative and operations staff
only commensurate with producing increased revenues.
7) Focusing
current research and development efforts only on final development, production
and distribution of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System.

8) Increasing
sales and marketing resource efforts to focus on marketing and sales research
into the bio-pharmaceutical, clinical trials and cold-chain distribution
industries in order to ensure the Company is in a better position for a timely
and successful launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System.
Research
and Development
The
Company has completed the research and development efforts associated with
phase
one of its new product line, the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System, a
line of use-and-return dry cryogenic shippers, for the transport of biological
materials. The Company continues to provide ongoing research associated with
the
CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System, as it develops improvements 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 nine months ended
December 31, 2007 and 2006, research and development costs were $91,629 and
$58,963, 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, employee benefits, costs determined utilizing
the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for options issued to the Scientific
Advisory Board and prototype design and materials costs.
Critical
Accounting Policies
The
Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates
and
judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues
and
expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. The
Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other
assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the
results of which form the basis of making judgments about the carrying values
of
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual
results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or
conditions, however, in the past the estimates and assumptions have been
materially accurate and have not required any significant changes. Specific
sensitivity of each of the estimates and assumptions to change based on other
outcomes that are reasonably likely to occur and would have a material effect
is
identified individually in each of the discussions of the critical accounting
policies described below. Should the Company experience significant changes
in
the estimates or assumptions which would cause a material change to the amounts
used in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements, material
quantitative information will be made available to investors as soon as it
is
reasonably available.
The
Company believes the following critical accounting policies, among others,
affect the Company’s more significant judgments and estimates used in the
preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements:
Allowance
for Doubtful Accounts. The
Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses
resulting from the inability of the Company’s customers to make required
payments. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on specific
identification of customer accounts and the Company’s best estimate of the
likelihood of potential loss, taking into account such factors as the financial
condition and payment history of major customers. The Company evaluates the
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.
Page
31
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.
Page
32
On
April 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based
Payment,
which
requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all
share-based payment awards made to employees and directors related to the
Company’s 2000 Equity Incentive Plan based on estimated fair values. The Company
adopted SFAS No. 123(R) using the modified prospective transition method,
which requires the application of the accounting standard as of April 1,
2006, the first day of our fiscal year 2007. The value of the portion of the
award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the
requisite service periods in our consolidated statement of operations. As
stock-based compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of
operations for each of the nine month periods ended December 31, 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 nine month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006 was
zero
as the Company has not had a significant history of forfeitures.
Convertible
Debentures. If
the
conversion feature of conventional convertible debt provides for a rate of
conversion that is below market value, this feature is characterized as a
beneficial conversion feature (“BCF”). A BCF is recorded by the Company as a
debt discount pursuant to EITF Issue No. 98-5, Accounting
for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingency
Adjustable Conversion Ratio,
(“EITF
98-05”) and EITF Issue No. 00-27, Application
of EITF Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments (“EITF
00-27”). In those circumstances, the convertible debt will be recorded net of
the discount related to the BCF. The Company amortizes the discount to interest
expense over the life of the debt using the effective interest method (see
Note
6).
Results
of Operations
Three
months ended December 31, 2007 compared to three months ended December 31,
2006:
Net
Sales. During
the three months ended December 31, 2007, the Company generated $9,678 from
reusable shipper sales compared to revenues of $27,931 in the same period of
the
prior year, a decrease of $18,253 (65%). This revenue decrease is primarily
as a
result of the decline in sales as a result of the Company’s shift in its sales
and marketing focus initiated during fiscal year 2006 to allow for the planning
of the introduction of the one-way shipper into the bio-pharmaceutical and
bio-tech industry sectors. This shift allowed the marketing and sales efforts
to
focus on research into the bio-pharmaceutical, clinical trials and cold-chain
distribution industries in order to better position the Company for a timely
and
successful launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System in
anticipation of attaining adequate financing sources to support the product
launch efforts.
Gross
Profit/Loss. Gross
loss for the three month period ended December 31, 2007 increased by $74,651
(436%) to $91,761 compared to $17,110 for the three month period ended December
31, 2006. The increase in the gross loss is mainly attributable to 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
and to the production shut-down as a result of the relocation and restructuring
of the Company’s production operations in Lake Forest, CA initiated in
mid-September 2007. During both periods cost of sales exceeded sales due to
plant under utilization.
Page
33
Cost
of
sales for the three month period ended December 31, 2007 increased $56,398
(125%) to $101,439 from $45,041 for the three month period ended December 31,
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 and to the production shut-down for the
relocation and restructuring of the Company’s production operations in Lake
Forest, CA initiated in mid-September 2007.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses. Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by $153,021 (50%) to $461,358
for
the three month period ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $308,337 for
the
three month period ended December 31, 2006 due primarily to a $76,736 (28%)
increase in general and administrative expenses from $278,865 for the three
month period ended December 31, 2006 to $355,601 for the three month period
ended December 31, 2006 and to a $76,285 (259%) increase in sales and marketing
expenses from $29,472 for the three month period ended December 31, 2006 to
$105,757 for the three month period ended December 31, 2007. These increases
in
the combined selling, general and administrative expenses are due to increased
compensation and related costs as a result of personnel layoffs in 2006,
increased travel and related meeting costs associated with the planning for
the
launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper and increased administrative
costs associated to the filing of the Company’s Form SB-2 with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for the registration of shares pursuant to the
requirements of the convertible debenture agreements issued in October
2007.
Research
and Development Expenses. Research
and development expenses increased by $21,425 (108%) to $41,329 for the three
month period ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $19,904 for the three month
period ended December 31, 2006 related to the costs associated with the increase
in consultant and travel expenses for additional research and development
activity in anticipation of the launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper
System expected for the second quarter of calendar year 2008, as the Company
strives to develop improvements in both the manufacturing processes and product
materials for the purpose of achieving additional product cost efficiencies.
Interest
Expense. Interest
expense increased $598,591 to $652,578 for the three month period ended December
31, 2007 as compared to $53,997 for the three month period ended December 31,
2006. This increase is primarily due to $487,005 of amortized debt discount,
$42,288 of amortized financing fees and $94,154 of accrued interest, all related
to the convertible debentures issued in November 2006 and October 2007. These
increases were offset by reduction in interest expense for related party notes
payable as the result of the payments made against the principal note
balances.
Interest
Income. The
Company recorded interest income of $29,833 for the three month period ended
December 31, 2007 as compared to zero for the three month period ended December
31, 2006 as the result of increased cash balances related to the funds received
in connection with the convertible debentures issued in October 2007.

Net
Loss. As
a
result of the factors described above, the net loss for the three months ended
December 31, 2007 increased by $817,645 (205%) to $1,217,193 or ($0.03) per
share compared to $399,548 or ($0.01) per share for the three months ended
December 31, 2006.
Nine
months ended December 31, 2007 compared to nine months ended December 31,
2006:
Net
Sales. During
the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the Company generated $47,666 from
reusable shipper sales compared to revenues of $54,606 in the same period of
the
prior year, a decrease of $6,940, (13%). This revenue decrease is primarily
as a
result of the decline in sales as a result of the Company’s shift in its sales
and marketing focus initiated during fiscal year 2006 to allow for the planning
of the introduction of the one-way shipper into the bio-pharmaceutical and
bio-tech industry sectors. This shift allowed the marketing and sales efforts
to
focus on research into the bio-pharmaceutical, clinical trials and cold-chain
distribution industries in order to better position the Company for a timely
and
successful launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper System in
anticipation of attaining adequate financing sources to support the product
launch efforts.
Gross
Profit/Loss. Gross
loss for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007 increased by $140,475
(222%) to $203,684 compared to $63,209 for the nine month period ended December
31, 2006. The increase in the gross loss is mainly attributable to 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
and to the production shut-down as a result of the relocation and restructuring
of the Company’s production operations in Lake Forest, CA initiated in
mid-September 2007. During both periods cost of sales exceeded sales due to
plant under utilization.
Cost
of
sales for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007 increased $133,535
(113%) to $251,350 from $117,815 for the nine month period ended December 31,
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 and to the production shut-down for the
relocation and restructuring of the Company’s production operations in Lake
Forest, CA initiated in mid-September 2007.
Selling,
General and Administrative Expenses. Selling,
general and administrative expenses increased by $42,563 (3%) to $1,593,467
for
the nine month period ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $1,550,904 for
the
nine month period ended December 31, 2006 due primarily to a $105,123 (103%)
increase in selling and marketing expenses from $102,181 for the nine month
period ended December 31, 2006 to $207,304 for the nine month period ended
December 31, 2006 partially offset by a $62,560 (4%) decrease in general and
administrative expenses from $1,448,723 for the nine month period ended December
31, 2006 to $1,386,163 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007. The
increase in the selling and marketing expenses are due to increased compensation
and related costs as a result of personnel layoffs in 2006 and to increased
travel and related meeting costs associated with the planning for the launch
of
the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper. The decreased general and administrative
costs are due to the higher valuation in the prior year of the warrants issued
to employees and consultants as compared to the valuation of warrants issued
to
employees and consultants in the current year which was offset by increased
costs associated to the filing of the Company’s Form SB-2 with the Securities
and Exchange Commission for the registration of shares pursuant to the
requirements of the convertible debenture agreements issued in October
2007.
Page
35
Research
and Development Expenses. Research
and development expenses increased by $32,666 (55%) to $91,629 for the nine
month period ended December 31, 2007 as compared to $58,963 for the nine month
period ended December 31, 2006 related to the costs associated with the increase
in consultant and travel expenses for additional research and development
activity in anticipation of the launch of the CryoPort Express® One-Way Shipper
System expected for the second quarter of calendar year 2008, as the Company
strives to develop improvements in both the manufacturing processes and product
materials for the purpose of achieving additional product cost efficiencies.
Interest
Expense. Interest
expense increased $625,563 to $731,224 for the nine month period ended December
31, 2007 as compared to $105,661 for the nine month period ended December 31,
2006. This increase is primarily due to $516,643 of amortized debt discount,
$94,154 of accrued interest, and $46,987 of amortized financing fee, all related
to the convertible debentures issued in October 2007. These increases were
offset by reductions in related party notes payable as the result of the
payments made against the principal note balances.
Interest
Income. The
Company recorded interest income of $29,833 for the nine month period ended
December 31, 2007 as compared to zero for the nine month period ended December
31, 2006 as the result of increased cash balances related to the funds received
in connection with the convertible debentures issued in October 2007.
Net
Loss. As
a
result of the factors described above, the net loss for the nine months ended
December 31, 2007 increased by $812,234 (46%) to $2,591,771 or ($0.07) per
share
compared to $1,779,537 or ($0.05) per share for the nine months ended December
31, 2006.
Assets
and Liabilities
At
December 31, 2007, the Company had total assets of $4,159,145 compared to total
assets of $483,687 at March 31, 2007, an increase of $3,675,458. Cash was
$2,990,879 as of December 31, 2007, an increase of $2,726,487 from $264,392
in
cash on hand as of March 31, 2007. During the nine month period ended December
31, 2007, cash provided by financing activities of $4,236,917 was offset by
cash
used in operations of $1,338,986 and cash used in investing activities of
$372,911. As of February 11, 2008, the Company’s cash on hand was approximately
$2,789,000. The increase in current cash on hand is due to the funds received
as
a result of the Company’s recent issuance of convertible debentures (see Note 6
of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements).
Net
accounts receivable at December 31, 2007 was $32,588, an increase of $22,416
(220%) from $10,172 at March 31, 2007. This increase is due to the revenue
increase primarily as a result of increased sales of reusable shippers to a
national distributor from July through October 2007.
Page
36
Net
inventories increased $5,002 (3%), to $151,010 as of December 31, 2007, from
$146,008 as of March 31, 2007. The increase in inventories is due to the
purchases of raw materials during November and December 2007 for the planned
build-up of dewar inventory in anticipation of the launch of the CryoPort
Express® One-Way Shipper System. This increase from purchases was partially
offset by usages of inventory during the nine months ended December 31, 2007
in
order fulfill increased sales of reusable shippers to a national distributor
from July through September 2007.
Net
fixed
assets increased $160,473 to $198,873 at December 31, 2007 from $38,400 at
March
31, 2007 as a result of increases of $182,911 for purchases of additional
production equipment during December 31, 2007 to support the anticipated
increased manufacturing operations for the launch of the CryoPort Express®
One-Way Shipper System, which was partially offset by $22,438 depreciation
for
the nine months ended December 31, 2007.
Intangible
assets decreased to $1,195 at December 31, 2007 from $4,696 at March 31, 2007
as
a result of amortization in the amount of $3,501 for the nine months ended
December 31, 2007.
The
Company has recorded the combined value of $349,834 of the valuation of shares
and warrants as calculated using the Black Scholes option pricing model issued
to Carpe DM under a 36 month consulting agreement to as prepaid expense which
is
being amortized over the life of the services agreement. As of December 31,
2007, the unamortized balance of the value of the shares and warrants issued
to
Carpe DM, Inc. was $320,683 of which $116,604 is included in prepaid expenses
and other current assets and $204,079 is included in deferred contract fees
as a
non-current asset.
Net
deferred financing fees increased $361,790 to $366,489 at December 31, 2007
compared to $4,699 at March 31, 2007 due to the addition of $408,777 in deferred
financing fee related to the October 1, 2007 convertible debentures less $42,288
of amortization of those fees during the nine months ended December 31, 2007
and
less $4,699 for the amortization of the remaining deferred financing fees
related to the November 2006 Convertible debentures during the nine months
ended
December 31, 2007.
Total
liabilities at December 31, 2007 were $3,215,152, an increase of $443,633 (16%)
from $2,771,519 as of March 31, 2007. Accounts payable was $234,818 at December
31, 2007, a decrease of $71,864 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 offset
by
additional payables related to manufacturing equipment purchases during November
and December 2007. Accrued expenses increased $3,536 (4%) to $93,691 at December
31, 2007 from $97,227 at March 31, 2007. Accrued warranty costs increased $1,875
(3%) to $57,282 at December 31, 2007 from $55,407 as of March 31, 2007 relating
to additional accrual for the higher number products shipped during the nine
months ended December 31, 2007. Accrued salaries were $142,212 at December
31,
2007, a decrease of $27,325 (16%) from $169,537 at March 31, 2007. This decrease
is due to payments made to Mr. Berry against the deferrals of his prior year
salary and bonus which were offset by the accrual of bonuses for the current
year.
In
October 2006, the Company entered into an Agency Agreement with a broker to
raise capital in a private placement offering of convertible debentures under
Regulation D. From November 2006 through January 2007, the Company received
a
total of $120,000 under this private placement offering of convertible debenture
debt. Related to the issuance of the convertible debentures, the Company paid
commissions to the broker totaling $15,600, which were capitalized as deferred
financing costs. During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the Company
amortized $4,699 of deferred financing costs to interest expense.

Per
the
terms of the convertible debenture agreements, the notes had a term of 180
days
from issuance and were redeemable by the Company with two days notice. The
notes
bore interest at 15% per annum and were 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 were used in the ongoing operations of the
Company. During the nine months ended December 31, 2007 the Company converted
the full $120,000 of principal balances and $8,857 of accrued interest relating
to these convertible debentures into 859,697 shares of common stock at a
conversion price of $0.15 per share. As of December 31, 2007, the remaining
balance of the November 2006 convertible debenture notes and accrued interest
was zero. During the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded
interest expense of $2,784 related to these notes.
In
connection with the November 2006 issuance of the convertible debt, the Company
recorded a debt discount totaling $106,167 related to the beneficial conversion
feature of the notes. The Company amortized the debt discount using the
effective interest method through the maturity dates of the notes. As of
December 31, 2007, the remaining balance of the debt discount for the November
2006 convertible debentures was zero.
On
October 1, 2007, the Company issued to four accredited investors Original Issue
Discount 8% Senior Secured Convertible Debentures (the “Debentures”) having a
principal face amount of $4,707,705 and generating gross proceeds of $4,001,551.
After accounting for commissions, legal and other fees, the net proceeds
to the Company totaled $3,436,551.
In
connection with the financing transaction, the Company issued to the investors
five-year warrants to purchase 5,604,411 shares of common stock at $0.92 per
share and two-year warrants to purchase 1,401,103 shares of common stock at
$0.90 per share and 1,401,103 shares of common stock at $1.60 per share
(collectively, the “Warrants”). Valuation of these warrants as calculated using
the Black Scholes option pricing model equaled $7,838,791 on the date of
grant.
Under
EITF 00-27, the value of the warrants issued to the investors is calculated
relative to the total amount of the debt offering. The relative fair value
of
the warrants issued to the investors was determined to be $2,941,267, or 62.5%
of the total offering. The relative fair value of the warrants, along with
the
effective beneficial conversion feature of the debt ($3,557,761) and the face
value discount given to the investors ($706,154), totaled in excess of the
face
amount of the Debentures. As such, the Company recorded a debt discount equal
to
the face value of the Debentures, $4,707,705. The debt discount is being
amortized by the Company through the maturity dates of the Debentures. As of
December 31, 2007, the unamortized balance of the debt discount was $4,220,700.
During
the nine months ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded additional
interest expense of $487,005 related to the amortization of the debt discount.
Current
portion of related party notes payable increased $30,000 from $120,000 at March
31, 2007 to $150,000 at December 31, 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 January 31, 2008, the Company paid the October 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.

Due
to a
recent rescheduling of note payments on the note payable to Falk Shaff and
Ziebell, the outstanding balance of $27,000 is currently reflected as a short
term note payable as of December 31, 2007 as compared to the balances as of
March 31, 2007 of current portion of notes payable of $24,000 and long term
note
payable of $35,440. The overall $32,440 decrease in the balance of this note
is
due to payments of $40,000 made during the nine month period ended December
31,
2007 offset by the accrual of interest of $7,560. The Company made a $5,000
payment in January 2008 and is expected to make $5,000 monthly payments from
February 2008 through April 2008 and a final $7,000 payment in May
2008.
Current
portion of notes payable to officer increased $27,000 from $45,000 as of March
31, 2007 to $72,000 as of December 31, 2007 due to the scheduled increase in
monthly payments from $3,000 to $6,000 beginning in January 2008.
Long-term
related party notes payable decreased $30,801 to $1,593,040 at December 31,
2007
from $1,623,841 at March 31, 2007 due to the transfer of an additional $30,000
to the current portion in addition to aggregate payments made of $60,000 against
the principal note balances which were offset by additional interest accrued
of
$59,199 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2007.
Notes
payable to officer decreased $54,000 from $197,950 as of March 31, 2007 to
$143,950 as of December 31, 2007 due to the $27,000 increase in the current
portion of the note and to the $27,000 paid against the principal balance during
the nine months ended December 31, 2007.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
As
of
December 31, 2007, the Company’s current assets of $3,351,947 exceeded its
current liabilities of $1,478,162 by $1,873,785. Approximately 15% 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 $2,726,487 to $2,990,879 at December 31, 2007 from $264,392
at
March 31, 2007 as a result of $4,236,917 cash provided by financing activities
due to proceeds from borrowings under convertible notes and line of credit,
the
issuance of common stock and the exercise of warrants during the nine month
period ended December 31, 2007, which were offset by funds used in operating
activities of $1,337,519 and purchases of fixed assets of $172,911.
Total
assets increased $3,675,458 to $4,159,145 as of December 31, 2007 compared
to
$483,687 as of March 31, 2007 mainly as a result of the increase cash due to
proceeds from borrowings under convertible notes and line of credit, the
issuance of common stock and the exercise of warrants as well as increases
in
fixed assets, other assets and accounts receivable.
The
Company’s total outstanding indebtedness increased $443,632 to $3,215,151 at
December 31, 2007 from $2,771,519 at March 31, 2007 primarily from the issuance
of convertible debentures offset by unamortized discounts, the conversion of
convertible notes payable to common stock and the decrease in accrued salaries
for the payment of accrued salary and bonus.

3. Controls and Procedures
As
of
December 31, 2007, an evaluation was carried out under the supervision and
with
the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive
Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design
and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule
13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based upon that
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer
concluded that the design and operation of these disclosure controls and
procedures were effective. No significant changes were made in our internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to December 31, 2007.
(a)
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The Company carried out an
evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s
management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our
Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the Company’s
disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the CEO and
CFO
concluded that as of December 31, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures
were effective in timely alerting them to the material information relating
to
the Company (or the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included
in the Company’s periodic filings with the SEC, subject to the various
limitation on effectiveness set forth below under the heading , “LIMITATIONS ON
THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS,” such that the information relating to
the Company, required to be disclosed in SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and
forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management,
including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding
required disclosure.
(b)
Changes in internal control over financial reporting. There has been no change
in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during
the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2007 that has materially affected, or
is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over
financial reporting.
LIMITATIONS
ON THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTERNAL CONTROLS
The
Company’s management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our
disclosure controls and procedures on our internal control over financial
reporting will necessarily prevent all fraud and material error. An internal
control system, no matter now well conceived and operated, can provide only
reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system
are met. Further, the design of the control system must reflect the fact that
there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls can provide
absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any,
within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the
realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns
can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be
circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or
more
people, or by management override of the internal control. The design of any
system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design
will
succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Over time, control may become inadequate because of changes in conditions,
and/or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may
deteriorate.
