CRYOPORT, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

For the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2011 and 2010

Note 1. Management’s Representation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by CryoPort, Inc. (the “Company” or “we”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP 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, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2012. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of this filing, and determined that no subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosure in the notes thereto other than as disclosed in the accompanying notes.

Note 2. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

The Company is a provider of an innovative cold chain frozen shipping system dedicated to providing superior, affordable cryogenic shipping solutions that ensure the safety, status and temperature of high value, temperature sensitive materials. The Company has developed cost-effective reusable cryogenic transport containers (referred to as a “shipper”) capable of transporting biological, environmental and other temperature sensitive materials at temperatures below minus 150° Celsius. These dry vapor shippers are one of the first significant alternatives to using dry ice and achieve 10-plus day holding times compared to one to two day holding times with dry ice (assuming no re-icing during transit). The Company’s value proposition comes from both providing safe transportation and an environmentally friendly, long lasting shipper, and through its value-added services that offer a simple hassle-free solution for its customers. These value-added services include an internet-based web portal that enables the customer to conveniently initiate scheduling, shipping and tracking the progress and status of a shipment, and provide in-transit temperature and custody transfer monitoring of the shipper. The Company’s service also provides a fully ready charged shipper containing all freight bills, customs documents and regulatory paperwork for the entire journey of the shipper to its customers at their pick up location.

The Company’s principal focus has been the further development and commercial launch of the CryoPort Express® Portal, an innovative IT solution for shipping and tracking high-value specimens through overnight shipping companies, and its CryoPort Express® Shipper, a dry vapor cryogenic shipper for the transport of biological and pharmaceutical materials. A dry vapor cryogenic shipper is a container that uses liquid nitrogen in dry vapor form, which is suspended inside a vacuum insulated bottle as a refrigerant, to provide storage temperatures below minus 150° Celsius. The dry vapor shipper is designed using innovative, proprietary, and patented technology which prevents spillage of liquid nitrogen and pressure build up as the liquid nitrogen evaporates. A proprietary retention system is employed to ensure that liquid nitrogen stays inside the vacuum container, even when placed upside-down or on its side as is often the case when in the custody of a shipping company. Biological specimens are stored in a specimen chamber, referred to as a “well” inside the containers and refrigeration is provided by non-hazardous cold nitrogen gas evolving from the liquid nitrogen entrapped within the retention system surrounding the well. Biological specimens transported using our cryogenic shipper can include clinical samples, diagnostics, live cell pharmaceutical products (such as cancer vaccines, semen and embryos, and infectious substances) and other items that require and/or are protected through continuous exposure to frozen or cryogenic temperatures (less than minus 150° Celsius).

 

7


The Company entered into its first strategic relationship with the global courier Federal Express Corporation (“FedEx”) on January 13, 2010 pursuant to which the Company leases to FedEx such number of its cryogenic shippers that FedEx, from time to time, orders for FedEx’s customers. Under this agreement, FedEx has the right to and shall, on a non-exclusive basis, promote market and sell transportation of the Company’s shippers and its related value-added goods and services, such as its data logger, web portal and planned CryoPort Express® Smart Pak System. On January 24, 2011, we announced that FedEx had launched its deep frozen shipping solution using our CryoPort Express® Dry Shipper. On September 2, 2010, the Company entered into an agreement with another global courier, DHL Express (USA), Inc. (“DHL”) that gives DHL life science customers direct access to the Company’s web-based order entry and tracking portal to order the CryoPort Express® Dry Shipper and receive preferred DHL shipping rates. The agreement covers DHL shipping discounts that may be used to support the Company’s customers using the CryoPort Express® shipping solution. In connection with the agreement, the Company has integrated its proprietary web portal to DHL’s tracking and billing systems to provide DHL life science customers with a seamless way of shipping their critical biological material worldwide. The IT integration with DHL was completed during the Company’s fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011.

We offer our solution to companies in the life sciences industry. These companies operate within a heavily regulated environment and as such, changing vendors and distribution practices typically require a number of steps which may include the audit of our facilities, review of our procedures, qualifying us as a vendor, and performing test shipments. This process can take several months or longer to complete prior to a company fully adopting the Cryoport Express solution.

Historically, we have funded our operations and the development and commercial launch of our CryoPort Express® solution through debt and equity financing arrangements. Future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the success of our commercialization efforts and the level of customer adoption of our CryoPort Express® System as well as our ability to establish additional collaborative arrangements.

We continue to assess our needs for additional capital to ensure sufficient financial resources are available to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other cash requirements. We believe that our access to additional capital, together with existing cash resources and the expected increase in sales revenue will be sufficient to meet our operating needs for the next twelve months. If, however, we are unable to obtain additional capital or financing, our operations will be significantly affected.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed 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 condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP 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, deferred taxes and their accompanying valuations, valuation of derivative liabilities and valuation of common stock, warrants and stock options issued for products or services.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Company’s financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, related-party notes payable, convertible notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying value for all such instruments approximates fair value at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively. The difference between the fair value and recorded values of the related party notes payable is not significant.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

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

 

8


Concentrations of Credit Risk

Cash and cash equivalent

The Company maintains its cash accounts in financial institutions. Accounts at these institutions are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) with basic deposit coverage limits up to $250,000 per owner. In addition to the basic insurance deposit coverage, the FDIC is providing temporary unlimited coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts from December 31, 2010 through December 31, 2012. At December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $2,327,000 and $8,701,000, respectively, of cash balances which exceeded the FDIC insurance limits. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit its concentration risk exposure.

Restricted cash

The Company had invested cash in a one year restricted certificate of deposit bearing interest at 1% which served as collateral for borrowings under a line of credit agreement (see Note 3). During August 2011, the Company paid the line of credit balance in full. The certificate of deposit account was closed and the proceeds of $91,443 were recorded as cash and cash equivalents in September 2011. At December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the balance in the certificate of deposit was $0 and $91,169, respectively.

Customers

The Company grants credit to customers within the U.S. and to a limited number of international customers and does not require collateral. Revenues from international customers are generally secured by advance payments except for a limited number of established foreign customers. The Company generally requires advance or credit card payments for initial revenues from new customers. 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 are provided based on past experience and a specific analysis of the accounts which management believes is sufficient. Accounts receivable at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011 are net of reserves for doubtful accounts of approximately $1,000 and $9,100, respectively. Although the Company expects to collect amounts due, actual collections may differ from the estimated amounts.

The Company has foreign net revenues primarily in Europe, Japan, and India. During the three month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had foreign sales of approximately $83,000 and $18,000, respectively, which constituted approximately 58% and 18%, respectively, of net revenues. During the nine month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company had foreign sales of approximately $204,000 and $114,000, respectively, which constituted approximately 54% and 30%, respectively, of net revenues.

The majority of the Company’s customers are in the biotechnology, pharmaceutical and life science industries. Consequently, there is a concentration of receivables within these industries, which is subject to normal credit risk. At December 31, 2011, net revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 from three major customers accounted for 27% and 34%, respectively, of our total net revenues. At December 31, 2010, net revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010 from three major customers accounted for 58% and 71%, respectively, of our total net revenues. The Company maintains reserves for bad debt and such losses, in the aggregate, historically have not exceeded our estimates.

Inventories

The Company’s inventories consist of accessories that are sold and shipped to customers along with pay-per-use containers and are not returned to the Company along with the containers at the culmination of the customer’s shipping cycle. Inventories are stated at the lower of standard cost or current estimated market value. Cost is determined using the standard cost method which approximates the first-in, first-to-expire method. At December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Company’s inventories consisted of $38,342 and $37,739 in raw materials, respectively, and $8,788 and $6,485 in finished goods, respectively.

Property and Equipment

The Company provides shipping containers to its customers and charges a fee in exchange for the use of the container. The Company’s arrangements are similar to the accounting standard for leases since they convey the right to use the containers over a period of time. The Company retains title to the containers and provides its customers the use of the container for a specified shipping cycle. At the culmination of the customer’s shipping cycle, the container is returned to the Company. As a result the Company classifies the containers as property and equipment.

Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Cryogenic shippers, which comprise 84% of the Company’s net property and equipment balance at December 31, 2011, are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of three years. Equipment and furniture are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (generally three to seven years) and leasehold improvements are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the asset or the lease term, whichever is shorter. Equipment acquired under capital leases is amortized over the estimated useful life of the assets or term of the lease, whichever is shorter and included in depreciation and amortization expense.

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.

Depreciation expense for property and equipment was $62,566 and $176,990, and $44,739 and $115,083 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are comprised of patents and trademarks and software development costs. The Company capitalizes costs of obtaining patents and trademarks which are amortized, using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of five years. The Company capitalizes certain costs related to software developed for internal use. Software development costs incurred during the preliminary or maintenance project stages are expensed as incurred, while costs incurred during the application development stage are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software, which is five years. Capitalized costs include purchased materials and costs of services including the valuation of warrants issued to consultants.

Amortization expense for intangible assets for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 was $26,120 and $73,747, and $21,860 and $61,212 respectively. All of the Company’s intangible assets are subject to amortization.

Long-lived Assets

If indicators of impairment exist, we assess the recoverability of the affected long-lived assets by determining whether the carrying value of such assets can be recovered through undiscounted future operating cash flows. If impairment is indicated, we measure the amount of such impairment by comparing the fair value to the carrying value. We believe the future cash flows to be received from the long-lived assets will exceed the assets’ carrying value, and accordingly, we have not recognized any impairment losses at December 31, 2011 or March 31, 2011.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs represent costs incurred in connection with the issuance of the convertible notes payable and private equity financing. Deferred financing costs related to the issuance of debt are being amortized over the term of the financing instrument using the effective interest method, while deferred financing costs from equity financings are netted against the gross proceeds received from the equity financings.

During the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2011, the Company had no capitalized deferred financing costs. During the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2010, the Company capitalized deferred financing costs of $68,808 and $159,171, respectively, and was charged to additional paid-in capital upon the closing of the private placements in August and October 2010. During the three and nine months ended December, 2011, the Company incurred and paid $0 and $36,543, respectively, of offering costs in connection with the private placement that closed in February 2011 which were charged to additional paid-in capital and netted against the proceeds received in the private placements. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, the Company made payments of $0 and $121,727, respectively, in connection with financing fees related to the private placement in February 2011, which were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2011.

Convertible Debentures

If a conversion feature of conventional convertible debt is not accounted for as a derivative instrument and 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. The convertible debt is 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 rate method.

 

10


Derivative Liabilities

Certain of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock purchase warrants and embedded conversion features which have exercise price reset features are treated as derivatives for accounting purposes. The common stock purchase warrants were not issued with the intent of effectively hedging any future cash flow, fair value of any asset, liability or any net investment in a foreign operation. The warrants do not qualify for hedge accounting, and as such, all future changes in the fair value of these warrants are recognized currently in earnings until such time as the warrants are exercised, expire or the related rights have been waived. These common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, the Company estimates the fair value of these warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model (“Black-Scholes”) (see Note 6 Derivative Liabilities).

Supply Concentration Risks

The component parts for our products are primarily manufactured at third party manufacturing facilities. The Company also has a warehouse at our corporate offices in Lake Forest, California, where the Company is capable of manufacturing certain parts and fully assembles 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 that with its current level of shippers and production rate the Company has enough components to cover a four to six week maximum disruption gap in production.

There are no specific long-term agreements with any manufacturer nor are there any long-term commitments to any manufacturer. The Company believes that any of the manufacturers currently used by it could be replaced within a short period of time as none have a proprietary component or a substantial capital investment specific to its products.

Revenue Recognition

The Company provides shipping containers to their customers and charges a fee in exchange for the use of the shipper. The Company’s arrangements are similar to the accounting standard for leases since they convey the right to use the containers over a period of time. The Company retains title to the containers and provides its customers the use of the container for a specified shipping cycle. At the culmination of the customer’s shipping cycle, the container is returned to the Company.

The Company recognizes revenue for the use of the shipper at the time of the delivery of the shipper to the end user of the enclosed materials, and at the time that collectability is reasonably certain. Revenue is based on gross sales, net of discounts and allowances.

Accounting for Shipping and Handling Revenue, Fees and Costs

The Company classifies amounts billed for shipping and handling as revenue. Shipping and handling fees and costs are included in cost of revenues in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Research and Development Expenses

Expenditures relating to research and development are expensed in the period incurred. Research and development expenses to date have consisted primarily of costs associated with continually improving the features of the CryoPort Express® System including the web based customer service portal and the CryoPort Express® Shippers. Further, these efforts are expected to lead to the introduction of shippers of varying sizes based on market requirements, constructed of lower cost materials and utilizing high volume manufacturing methods that will make it practical to provide the cryogenic packages offered by the CryoPort Express® System. Other research and development effort has been 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. Alternative phase change materials in place of liquid nitrogen may be used to increase the potential markets these shippers can serve such as ambient and 2-8°C markets.

Stock-based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based payments to employees and directors in accordance with share-based payment accounting guidance which requires all share-based payments to employees and directors, including grants of employee stock options and warrants, to be recognized based upon their fair values. The fair value of stock-based awards is estimated at grant date using Black-Scholes and the portion that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as compensation cost over the requisite service period.

 

 

11


Since stock-based compensation is recognized only for those awards that are ultimately expected to vest, the Company has applied an estimated forfeiture rate to unvested awards for the purpose of calculating compensation cost. These estimates will be revised, if necessary, in future periods if actual forfeitures differ from estimates. Changes in forfeiture estimates impact compensation cost in the period in which the change in estimate occurs. The estimated forfeiture rates at December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011 was zero as the Company has not had a significant history of forfeitures and does not expect significant forfeitures in the future.

Cash flows from the tax benefits resulting from tax deductions in excess of the compensation cost recognized for those options or warrants are classified as financing cash flows. Due to the Company’s loss position, there were no such tax benefits during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. (See Note 8. Equity, for the stock plan descriptions and summary of assumptions and activity).

Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services

Issuances of the Company’s common stock for acquiring goods or services are measured at the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, whichever is more reliably measurable. The measurement date for the fair value of the equity instruments issued to consultants or vendors is determined at the earlier of (i) the date at which a commitment for performance to earn the equity instruments is reached (a “performance commitment” which would include a penalty considered to be of a magnitude that is a sufficiently large disincentive for nonperformance) or (ii) the date at which performance is complete. When it is appropriate for the Company to recognize the cost of a transaction during financial reporting periods prior to the measurement date, for purposes of recognition of costs during those periods, the equity instrument is measured at the then-current fair values at each of those interim financial reporting dates (see Note 8 Equity – Warrants and Options).

Income Taxes

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. 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. It is not anticipated that there will be a significant change in the unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months.

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an interpretation which clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the financial statements in accordance with current guidance. The updated guidance provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. Income tax positions must meet a more likely than not recognition threshold. The Company did not record any unrecognized tax benefits upon adoption of the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties that would be assessed in relation to the settlement value of unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

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. In addition, in computing the dilutive effect of convertible securities, the numerator is adjusted to add back the after-tax amount of interest, if any, recognized in the period associated with any convertible debt. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company was in a loss position and the basic and diluted loss per share are the same since the effect of stock options, warrants and convertible notes payable on loss per share was 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 approximately 31,940,000 and 34,340,000 and 14,667,000 and 12,756,000 for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Segment Reporting

We currently operate in only one segment.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB updated the accounting guidance on alignment of disclosures for U.S. GAAP and the International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, by updating Topic 820 entitled “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”, relating to presentation of fair value measurements reported in financial statements. The updated guidance requires companies to align fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The updated guidance is effective beginning in our fiscal 2012 year and earlier adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company determines the fair value of its derivative instruments using a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurements which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant levels of observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:

Level 1 — Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities. Currently the Company does not have any items classified as Level 1.

Level 2 — Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets at the measurement date; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 — Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and involve management judgment. The Company uses Black-Scholes to determine the fair value of the instruments. If the inputs used to measure fair value fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, a financial security’s hierarchy level is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

The following table presents the Company’s warrants measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011 classified using the valuation hierarchy:

Note 3. Line of Credit

During October 2010, the Company secured a one-year renewal of the line of credit (the “Line”) for $90,000 which was secured by a $90,000 certificate of deposit with a financial institution. On August 23, 2011 the Company paid the Line balance in full. The certificate of deposit was closed and the proceeds of $91,443 were recorded as cash and cash equivalents in September 2011. All

 

13


borrowings under the Line bore variable interest based on either the prime rate plus 1.5% per annum or 5.0%, whichever was higher. The Company utilized the funds advanced from the Line for capital equipment purchases to support the commercialization of the Company’s CryoPort Express® Dry Shipper. As of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the outstanding balance of the Line was $0 and $90,388, respectively, including accrued interest of $0 and $388, respectively. No funds were drawn against the Line during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recorded interest expense of $0 and $1,725, and $1,150 and $3,438, respectively, related to the Line.

Note 4. Related Party Transactions

Related Party Notes Payable

As of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, the Company had aggregate principal balances of $771,500 and $849,500, respectively, in outstanding unsecured indebtedness owed to four related parties, including former members of the Company’s board of directors, representing working capital advances made to the Company from February 2001 through March 2005. These notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and provide for aggregate monthly principal payments which began April 1, 2006 of $2,500, and which increased by an aggregate of $2,500 every nine months to a maximum of $10,000 per month. As of December 31, 2011, the aggregate principal payments totaled $8,000 per month. Any remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest is due at maturity on various dates through March 1, 2015.

Related-party interest expense under these notes was $11,814 and $36,582, and $14,114 and $43,712 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Accrued interest, which is included in related party notes payable in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, amounted to $712,494 and $675,912 as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011, respectively.

Note Payable to Former Officer

In August 2006, Peter Berry, the Company’s former 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. Interest of 6% per annum on the outstanding principal balance of the note began to accrue on January 1, 2008. The note and a portion of the accrued interest were paid in March 2010. The remaining accrued interest of $11,996 under the note was paid in August 2010. Interest expense related to this note was $11,996 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.

Advisory Services Agreement with Former Officer

On March 7, 2011, the Company entered into a one-year advisory services agreement with Marc Grossman, M.D. to provide strategic business advisory services including identifying and introducing customers, advising on sales and marketing plans and providing financial advice. Dr. Grossman is a former officer of the Company and is one of the four related parties to which CryoPort has an outstanding unsecured debt obligation. For these services, Dr. Grossman was paid a fee of $125,000, which is to be amortized over the term of the agreement, and issued a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.77 per share which was fully vested upon issuance (see Note 8 Equity—Warrants and Options).

Consulting Agreement with Officers

On July 29, 2009, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Ms. Catherine M. Doll, a consultant, to the offices of Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Assistant Corporate Secretary, which became effective on August 20, 2009. Ms. Doll resigned the offices of Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Assistant Corporate Secretary on June 27, 2011, effective immediately following the Company’s filing of its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. Ms. Doll is the owner and chief executive officer of The Gilson Group, LLC. The Gilson Group, LLC provides financial and accounting consulting services, including SEC and financial reporting, budgeting and forecasting to the Company. Related-party consulting fees for all services provided by The Gilson Group, LLC, were approximately $0 and $106,000 and $129,000 and $358,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The October 2007 Debentures is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a price of $3.00 per share. The debentures bear interest at 8% per annum. The Company has been obligated to make principal or additional interest payments since March 1, 2011 with respect to the outstanding balances of the debentures. The Company is making monthly principal payments of $200,000 and quarterly interest payments. The debentures will be paid by June 2012.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized an aggregate of $42,614 and $170,544, and $135,271 and $385,752 in interest expense, respectively, due to amortization of debt discount related to the warrants and beneficial conversion features associated with the Company’s outstanding convertible notes payable. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded interest expense of $24,814 and $110,248, respectively, related to the stated interest associated with the convertible notes payable.

Note 6. Derivative Liabilities

In accordance with current accounting guidance, certain of the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock and embedded conversion features in convertible notes payable are treated as derivatives because these instruments have reset or ratchet provisions in the event the Company raises additional capital at a lower price, among other adjustments. As such, the fair value of these common stock purchase warrants and embedded conversion features were treated as derivative liabilities since their date of issuance or modification. Changes in fair value are recorded as non-operating, non-cash income or expense at each reporting date. If the fair value of the derivatives is higher at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record a non-operating, non-cash charge. If the fair value of the derivatives is lower at the subsequent balance sheet date, the Company will record non-operating, non-cash income. As of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2011 the Company had derivative warrant liabilities of $47,344 and $156,497, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized aggregate gains of $60,185 and $109,153 and $33,987 and $276,860, respectively, due to the change in fair value of its derivative instruments. (See Note 2 — Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies — Fair Value Measurements, for the components of changes in derivative liabilities).

The Company’s common stock purchase warrants do not trade in an active securities market, and as such, the Company estimated the fair value of these warrants using Black-Scholes using the following assumptions:

Historical volatility was computed using daily pricing observations for recent periods that correspond to the remaining term of the warrants, which had an original term of five years from the date of issuance. The expected life is based on the remaining term of the warrants. The risk-free interest rate is based on U.S. Treasury securities with a maturity corresponding to the remaining term of the warrants.

Note 7. Commitments and Contingencies

Lease Commitments

We lease two facilities, with approximately 12,000 square feet of corporate, research and development, and warehouse facilities, located in Lake Forest, California (“Lake Forest Facility”) and six executive offices located in San Diego, California (“San Diego Facility”). In June 2010, the Company entered into a third amendment to the Lake Forest Facility lease and extended the lease for sixty months commencing July 1, 2010 with a right to cancel the lease with a minimum of 120 day written notice at any time after December 31, 2012 and adjusted the base lease payments to a range over the life of the agreement of $7,010 per month to $8,911 per month, plus operating expenses. On April 11, 2011, the Company entered into an office service agreement for the San Diego Facility for a six-month period ending October 31, 2011. In October 2011, we extended the agreement through December 31, 2011. The office service agreement requires aggregate base lease payment of approximately $9,250.

On November 28, 2011, the Company entered into a lease agreement for 4,105 square feet of executive offices in San Diego for a thirty six month period ending December 31, 2014. Base lease payments range over the life of the agreement of $8,621 per month to $9,442 per month, plus operating expenses. The executive offices were moved to this new San Diego Facility in January 2012.

Total rental expense was approximately $67,000 and $217,000 and $43,000 and $121,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Consulting and Engineering Services

Effective November 1, 2010, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) with KLATU Networks, LLC (“KLATU”), which amended the Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement between the parties dated as of October 9, 2007 (the “Agreement”), as amended by the First Amendment to Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement between the parties dated as of April 23, 2009. The parties entered into the Second Amendment to clarify their mutual intent and understanding that all license rights granted to the Company under the Agreement, as amended, shall survive any termination or expiration of the Agreement. In addition, in recognition that the Company has paid KLATU less than the market rate for comparable services, the Second Amendment provides that if the Company terminates the Agreement without cause, which the Company has no intention of doing, or liquidates, KLATU shall be entitled to receive additional consideration for its services provided from the commencement of the Agreement through such date of termination, which additional compensation shall not be less than $2 million plus two times the “cost of work” (as defined in the Agreement). Any such additional compensation would be payable in three equal installments within 12 months following the date the amount of such additional compensation is determined.

The Master Consulting and Engineering Services Agreement dated October 9, 2007, as amended on April 23, 2009 and November 1, 2010, between CryoPort, Inc. and KLATU Networks, LLC provides a framework for KLATU to provide services to CryoPort. The agreement provides for one year terms ending on December 31 of each year, but it automatically renews for one year periods unless otherwise terminated. CryoPort can terminate the agreement upon 30 days notice. If CryoPort terminates the agreement, it has to pay KLATU a termination fee that will be no less than $2,000,000 plus two times the cost of work (as defined in the agreement) performed by KLATU under the agreement. Consulting fees for services provided by KLATU were $122,457 and $356,335, and $131,360 and $371,496 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

Litigation

The Company may become 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 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 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 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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 leases, the Company has indemnified its lessors for certain claims arising from the use of the facilities. The duration of the guarantees and indemnities varies, and is generally tied to the life of the agreement.

In connection with the Company’s agreement with FedEx pursuant to which the Company leases to FedEx its cryogenic shippers, the Company has agreed to indemnify and hold harmless FedEx, its directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, judgments, injuries and liabilities, including payment of attorney’s fees. In addition, the Company has agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless FedEx, its Affiliates (including the corporate parent company), directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all claims by third parties based on an allegation that the use of the Company’s shippers infringes on any United States or foreign intellectual property right of such third parties, including any potential royalty payments and other costs and damages, reasonable attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by FedEx. The duration of these indemnities survive the termination or expiration of the agreement.

The Company recognized an aggregate of $1,492 and $43,989 in expense related to these warrants for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2010, respectively.

Stock-based Compensation Plan Descriptions

The Company maintains three stock incentive plans, the 2002 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”), the 2009 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2009 Plan”) and the 2011 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”). The 2002 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 are subject to various vesting conditions and generally vest over a three-year period beginning on the grant date and have seven to ten-year term. The 2002 Plan also provides for the granting of restricted shares of common stock subject to vesting requirements. The Company is authorized to issue up to 500,000 shares under this plan and has no shares available for future issuances as of December 31, 2011.

On October 9, 2009, the Company’s stockholders approved and adopted the 2009 Plan, which had previously been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on August 31, 2009. The 2009 Plan provides for the grant of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock rights, restricted stock, performance share units, performance shares, performance cash awards, stock appreciation rights, and stock grant awards (collectively, “Awards”) to employees, officers, non-employee directors, consultants and independent contractors of the Company. The 2009 Plan also permits the grant of awards that qualify for the “performance-based compensation” exception to the $1,000,000 limitation on the deduction of compensation imposed by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code. A total of 1,200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for the granting of Awards under the 2009 Plan. The number of shares available for future Awards, as well as the terms of outstanding Awards, is subject to adjustment as provided in the 2009 Plan for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events. Awards may be granted under the 2009 Plan until the sooner of October 9, 2019 or until all shares available for Awards under the 2009 Plan have been purchased or acquired. The Company is authorized to issue up to 1,200,000 shares under this plan and as of December 31, 2011, the Company has 4,741 shares available for future Awards under the 2009 Plan.

On September 22, 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved and adopted the 2011 Plan, which had previously been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on July 19, 2011. The 2011 Plan provides for the grant of Awards to employees, officers, non-employee directors and consultants of the Company. The Company’s Compensation Committee has the authority to determine the type of Award as well as the amount, terms and conditions of each Award under the 2011 Plan, subject to the limitations and other provisions of the 2011 Plan. A total of 2,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock are authorized for the granting of Awards under the 2011 Plan. The number of shares available for Awards, as well as the terms of outstanding Awards, is subject to adjustment as provided in the 2011 Plan for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events. Awards may be granted under the 2011 Plan until September 21, 2021 or until all shares available for Awards under the 2011 Plan have been purchased or acquired unless the stockholders of the Company vote to approve an extension of the 2011 Plan prior to such expiration date. As of December 31, 2011, the Company has 2,293,527 shares available for future Awards under the 2011 Plan.

 

18


In addition to the stock options issued pursuant to the Company’s three stock incentive plans, the Company has granted warrants to employees, officers, non-employee directors, consultants and independent contractors. The warrants are generally not subject to vesting requirements and have ten-year terms.

Summary of Assumptions and Activity

The Company uses Black-Scholes to recognize the value of stock-based compensation expense for all share-based payment awards. Determining the appropriate fair-value model and calculating the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires considerable judgment, including estimating stock price volatility, expected option life and forfeiture rates. The Company develops estimates based on historical data and market information, which can change significantly over time. The Company used the following assumptions for stock options granted during the nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010:

There were no exercises of options during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010.

Note 9. Subsequent Events

On February 17, 2012, the Company and certain institutional and accredited investors executed a definitive securities purchase agreement pursuant to which such investors subscribed to purchase an aggregate of 9,119,100 units at a purchase price of $0.55 per unit, with each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.69 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $5,015,506. The initial closing will occur on February 22, 2012, upon the release of gross proceeds of $3,737,565 from escrow, with the remaining gross proceeds anticipated to be released by February 24, 2012. The warrants are immediately exercisable and have a term of five years. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the private placement for working capital purposes.

Craig-Hallum Capital Group LLC acted as the lead placement agent, and Emergent Financial Group, Inc. served as co-placement agent, in this transaction and will receive, in the aggregate, commissions of $432,410, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses not to exceed $40,000, and 239,055 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an initial exercise price of $0.69 per share.

In connection with the private placement, the Company is obligated to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission registering the resale of the shares of common stock issued to the investors and the shares of common stock underlying the warrants issued to the investors within thirty (30) days following the close of the transaction (the “Filing Deadline”). In addition, the Company is obligated to have the registration statement declared effective by the SEC by (1) the earlier of (i) the date that is sixty (60) days after the date that the registration statement is actually filed or (ii) the date that is sixty (60) days after the Filing Deadline; or (2) in the event of a full review of the registration statement by the SEC, the earlier of (x) the date that is ninety (90) days after the date that the registration Statement is actually filed or (y) the date that is ninety (90) days after the Filing Deadline. In the event registration is delayed or is not declared effective within the foregoing time frames, the Company is required to make certain monthly payments, in cash or shares of common stock equal to 2% or 3% of initial investment, respectively.

Because the consummation of the above private placement would have triggered defaults under the Company’s currently outstanding convertible notes, the Company obtained a consent and waiver from the holders of the convertible notes (“Convertible Note Holders”) with respect to these defaults and their consent to the private placement. In consideration for such waiver and consent, the Company issued to the Convertible Note Holders warrants to purchase an aggregate of 280,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.69 per share. The warrants have terms identical to the warrants issued to the investors in the private placement. In addition, the Company deposited an amount equal to $444,168 (representing the current outstanding principal balance of one of the Convertible Note Holders) into an escrow account that provides for disbursements to this Convertible Note Holder in accordance to the current schedule of payments for the outstanding convertible note.

General Overview

We are a provider of an innovative cold chain frozen shipping system dedicated to providing superior, affordable cryogenic shipping solutions that ensure the safety, status and temperature, of high value, temperature sensitive materials. We have developed cost effective reusable cryogenic transport containers (referred to as “shippers”) capable of transporting biological, environmental and other temperature sensitive materials at temperatures below minus 150° Celsius. These dry vapor shippers are one of the first significant alternatives to dry ice shipping and achieve 10-plus day holding times compared to one to two day holding times with dry ice.

 

20


Our value proposition comes from providing both safe transportation and an environmentally friendly, long lasting shipper, and through our value added services that offer a simple, hassle-free solution for our customers. These value-added services include an internet-based web portal that enables the customer to initiate scheduling, shipping and tracking of the progress and status of a shipment, and provides in-transit temperature and custody transfer monitoring services of the shipper. The CryoPort service also provides a fully ready charged shipper containing all freight bills, customs documents and regulatory paperwork for the entire journey of the shipper to our customers at their pick up location.

Our principal focus has been the further development and commercial launch of CryoPort Express® Portal, an innovative IT solution for shipping and tracking high-value specimens through overnight shipping companies, and our CryoPort Express® Shipper, a dry vapor cryogenic shipper for the transport of biological and pharmaceutical materials. A dry vapor cryogenic shipper is a container that uses liquid nitrogen in dry vapor form, which is suspended inside a vacuum insulated bottle as a refrigerant, to provide storage temperatures below minus 150° Celsius. The dry vapor shipper is designed using innovative, proprietary, and patented technology which prevents spillage of liquid nitrogen and pressure build up as the liquid nitrogen evaporates. A proprietary foam retention system is employed to ensure that liquid nitrogen stays inside the vacuum container, even when placed upside-down or on its side, as is often the case when in the custody of a shipping company. Biological specimens are stored in a specimen chamber, referred to as a “well,” inside the container and refrigeration is provided by harmless cold nitrogen gas evolving from the liquid nitrogen entrapped within the foam retention system surrounding the well. Biological specimens transported using our cryogenic shipper can include clinical samples, diagnostics, live cell pharmaceutical products (such as cancer vaccines, semen and embryos, infectious substances) and other items that require and/or are protected through continuous exposure to frozen or cryogenic temperatures.

We offer our solution to companies in the life sciences industry. These companies operate within a heavily regulated environment and as such, changing vendors and distribution practices typically require a number of steps which may include the audit of our facilities, review of our procedures, qualifying us as a vendor, and performing test shipments. This process can take several months or longer to complete prior to a company fully adopting the Cryoport Express solution.

During our early years, our limited revenue was derived from the sale of our reusable product line. Our current business plan focuses on per-use leasing of the shipping container and added-value services that will be used by us to provide an end-to-end and cost-optimized shipping solution to life science companies moving pharmaceutical and biological samples in clinical trials and pharmaceutical distribution.

We have incurred losses since inception and had an accumulated deficit of $58,259,616 through December 31, 2011.

Results of Operations

Three months ended December 31, 2011 compared to three months ended December 31, 2010:

Net revenues. Net revenues were $144,254 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $99,569 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The $44,685 or 44.9% increase is primarily driven by an increase in the number of customers utilizing our services compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in revenue also overcame a decrease in revenue derived from one customer in the prior year (3% in the current period as compared to 17% in the same period in the prior year). One of this customer’s products was converted from a frozen shipping product to one that did not require frozen shipping.

Gross loss and cost of revenues. Gross loss for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was 139% of net revenues, or $200,448, as compared to 158% of net revenues, or $156,954, for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in gross loss in absolute dollars is primarily due to increase in net revenues. Cost of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was 239% of net revenues, or $344,702, as compared to 258% of net revenues, or $256,523, for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The cost of revenues exceeded net revenues due to fixed manufacturing costs and plant underutilization.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $1,740,324 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $1,080,768 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The $659,556 increase reflects the addition of twelve new employees (ten in the sales and marketing department), recruiting fees for these new hires, and consulting costs for promotional activities. The increase in headcount, in particular in the sales in marketing department, reflects the Company’s focus on promoting the use of its CryoPort Express® System and expanding its customer base through a direct inside and field sales team.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $120,702 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $105,020 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Our research and development efforts are focused on continually improving the features of the CryoPort Express® System including the web-based customer service portal and the CryoPort Express® Shippers.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $78,974 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $151,428 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2011 included accrued interest on our related party notes payable of approximately $12,000, amortization of the debt discount of $42,000 and interest expense on our convertible debentures of $25,000. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2010 included accrued interest on our related party notes payable of $14,114 and amortization of the debt discount of $135,271.

Interest income. Interest income was $698 for the three month period ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $3,547 for the three month period ended December 31, 2010. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to decrease in average cash balance during the current quarter.

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities was $60,185 for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to a gain of $33,987 for the three months ended December 31, 2010. The gain of $60,185 for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was the result of a decrease in the value of our warrant derivatives, due primarily to a decrease in our stock price.

Net loss. As a result of the factors described above, net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased by $622,929 to $2,079,565 or ($0.07) per share compared to a net loss of $1,456,636 or ($0.11) per share for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

Nine months ended December 31, 2011 compared to nine months ended December 31, 2010:

Net revenues. Net revenues were $378,718 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $375,438 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. While the number of customers ordering during the period compared to the same period in the prior year increased by 79.3%, year-to-date revenues remained relatively flat compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in revenue attributable to the increase in new customers was significantly offset by a decrease in revenue derived from one customer ( 3% in the current period as compared to 44% in the same period in the prior year), as one of this customer’s products no longer required the cryogenic shipping method during the current period.

Gross loss and cost of revenues. Gross loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was 181% of net revenues, or $683,814, as compared to 174% of net revenues, or $653,837, for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. The increase in gross loss in absolute dollars is primarily due to increase in net revenues. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was 281% of net revenues, or $1,062,532 as compared to 274% of net revenues, or $1,029,275, for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. The cost of revenues exceeded net revenues due to fixed manufacturing costs and plant underutilization.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4,933,102 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $3,138,337 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. The $1,794,765 increase reflects the addition of twelve new employees (ten in the sales and marketing department), recruiting fees for these new hires, and consulting costs for promotional activities. The increase in headcount, in particular in the sales, marketing and client services department, reflects the Company’s focus on promoting the use of its CryoPort Express® System and expanding its customer base through a direct inside and field sales team.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $346,637 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $341,655 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. Our research and development efforts are focused on continually improving the features of the CryoPort Express® System including the web based customer service portal and the CryoPort Express® Shippers.

Interest expense. Interest expense was $320,042 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $447,588 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. Interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 included accrued interest on our related party notes payable of $36,582 amortization of the debt discount of $170,544, and interest expense on our convertible debentures of $110,248. Interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2010 included accrued interest on our related party notes payable of $43,712 and amortization of the debt discount of $385,752.

Interest income. Interest income was $12,513 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2011 as compared to $10,896 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2010. Current interest income included the impact of increased cash balances related to the funds received in connection with the February 2011 private placement offering.

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities was $109,153 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011, compared to a gain of $276,860 for the nine months ended December 31, 2010. The gain of $109,153 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 was the result of a decrease in the value of our warrant derivatives, due primarily to a decrease in our stock price.

Net loss. As a result of the factors described above, net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 increased by $1,868,268 to $6,163,529 or ($0.22) per share compared to a net loss of $4,295,261 or ($0.40) per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $2,796,089 and working capital of $846,356. As of March 31, 2011, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $9,278,443 and working capital of $6,759,755. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of our debt and equity securities. From March 2005 through December 2011, we have received net proceeds of approximately $28.1 million from sales of our common stock and the issuance of promissory notes, warrants and debt.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2011, we used $4,673,462 of cash for operations primarily as a result of the net loss of $6,163,529 including non-cash expenses of $527,981 for the fair value of stock options and warrants. Net operating losses increased as a result of an increase in headcount and overall commercial activity. Offsetting the cash impact of our net operating loss (excluding non-cash items) was a decrease in total other assets of $155,937 and an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $338,475 due primarily to increased selling, general and administrative expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $369,070 during the nine months ended December 31, 2011, and was attributable to the purchase of property and equipment of $243,857 and the purchase of intangible assets of $125,213.

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $1,439,822 during the nine months ended December 31, 2011, and resulted primarily from payment of deferred financing costs of $158,270 and repayment of convertible debt of $1,776,628. This was partially offset by the gross proceeds from exercises of warrants of $571,633.

Historically, we have funded our operations and the development and commercial launch of our CryoPort Express® solution through debt and equity financing arrangements. Future capital requirements will depend upon many factors, including the success of our commercialization efforts and the level of customer adoption of our CryoPort Express® System as well as our ability to establish additional collaborative arrangements.

We continue to assess our needs for additional capital to ensure sufficient financial resources are available to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures and other cash requirements. We believe that our access to additional capital, together with existing cash resources and the expected increase in sales revenue will be sufficient to meet our operating needs for the next twelve months. If, however, we are unable to obtain additional capital or financing, our operations will be significantly affected.

(1)

The Company issued convertible debentures in October 2007 (the “October 2007 Debentures”) and in May 2008 (the “May 2008 Debentures,” and together with the October 2007 Debentures, the “Debentures”). The Debentures were issued to four institutional investors and have an outstanding principal balance of $830,568 as of December 31, 2011. As collateral to secure our repayment obligations to the holders of the Debentures we have granted such holders a first priority security interest in generally all of our assets, including our intellectual property.

 

(2)

Represents unsecured indebtedness owed to four related parties, including former members of the board of directors, for capital advances made to the Company from February 2001 through March 2005. These notes bear interest at the rate of 6% per annum and provide for aggregate monthly principal payments which began April 1, 2006 of $2,500, and which increased by an aggregate of $2,500 every nine months to a maximum of $10,000 per month. As of December 31, 2011, the aggregate principal payments totaled $8,000 per month. Any remaining unpaid principal and accrued interest is due at maturity March 1, 2015.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB updated the accounting guidance on alignment of disclosures for GAAP and the International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, by updating Topic 820 entitled “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”, relating to presentation of fair value measurements reported in financial statements. The updated guidance requires companies to align fair value measurement and disclosure requirements between GAAP and IFRS. The updated guidance is effective beginning in our fiscal 2012 year and earlier adoption is not permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Changes in United States interest rates would affect the interest earned on our cash and cash equivalents and interest expense on our revolving credit facility.

A primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing the income we receive from our investments without significantly increasing risk. Based on our overall cash and cash equivalents interest rate exposure at as of December 31, 2011, a near-term change in interest rates, based on historical movements, would not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

The above only incorporates those exposures that existed as of December 31, 2011, and does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date. If we diversify our investment portfolio into securities and other investment alternatives, we may face increased risk and exposures as a result of interest risk and the securities markets in general.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the timelines specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2011 at the reasonable assurance level.
