(A COMPANY IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE)
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
Note 1 – Business Organization, Nature of Operations, and Basis of Presentation
BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (and including its subsidiaries, “BRT” or the “Company”) is a development stage enterprise whose primary activities since inception have been the development of its business plan, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements, raising capital and the sponsorship of research and development activities. To date, the Company has not generated significant revenues from its operations.
BRT develops medical procedures using cell and tissue protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells designed for patients to undergo minimally invasive cellular-based treatments. BRT’s website is at www.biorestorative.com. BRT’s “brtxDISC™ Program” (Disc Implanted Stem Cells) is designed to offer a non-surgical cellular therapy for the treatment and relief of protruding, bulging and herniated discs. BRT’s “ThermoStem® Program” (Brown Fat Stem Cells) focuses on treatments for metabolic disorders, specifically targeting Type 2 diabetes and obesity by using brown fat stem cells. BRT has developed an ingredient derived from human adult stem cells, which can be used by third party companies in the development of their own skin care products. The ingredient was developed pursuant to BRT’s “brtx-C Cosmetic Program”. BRT’s Stem Pearls brand offers plant stem cell-based cosmetic skincare products that are available for purchase online at www.stempearls.com.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, such statements include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company as of March 31, 2014, for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 and for the period from December 30, 2008 (inception) to March 31, 2014. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year ending December 31, 2014 or any other period. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures of the Company as of December 31, 2013 and for the year then ended, and for the period from December 30, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2013, which were filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on April 11, 2014.
Note 2 – Going Concern and Management Plans
As of March 31, 2014, the Company had a working capital deficiency and a stockholders’ deficiency of $7,789,326 and $6,983,092, respectively. During the period from December 30, 2008 (inception) through March 31, 2014, the Company had not generated significant revenues and incurred net losses of $21,492,454. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been equity and debt financings. The Company intends to continue to raise additional capital through debt and equity financings. The Company is currently a development stage company and there is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable operations. If the Company is unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis and, notwithstanding any request the Company may make, the Company’s debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, the Company may have to curtail its development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately the Company could be forced to discontinue its operations and liquidate.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with GAAP, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Note 2 – Going Concern and Management Plans - Continued
Subsequent to March 31, 2014, the Company has raised an aggregate of $530,000 through debt financing, has received research and development fee payments of $250,000, has extended the due date for the repayment of $652,500 of debt, has repaid $25,000 and $5,801 of debt and accrued interest, respectively, and $25,000 and $1,500 of debt and accrued interest, respectively, has been converted into common stock. As a result, the Company expects to be able to fund its operations through June 2014. While there can be no assurance that it will be successful, the Company is in active negotiations to raise additional capital. As of the filing date of this report, the Company has notes payable with an aggregate principal balance of $251,750 which are either past due or payable on demand. The Company is currently in the process of negotiating extensions or discussing conversions to equity with respect to these notes. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in extending or converting these notes. See Note 8 – Subsequent Events for additional details.
Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Stem Cell Cayman Ltd. (“Cayman”) and Stem Pearls, LLC. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include the recoverability and useful lives of long-lived assets, the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, warrants issued in connection with notes payable and the valuation allowance related to the Company’s deferred tax assets. Certain of the Company’s estimates, including the carrying amount of the intangible assets, could be affected by external conditions, including those unique to the Company and general economic conditions. It is reasonably possible that these external factors could have an effect on the Company’s estimates and could cause actual results to differ from those estimates.
Concentrations and Credit Risk
As of March 31, 2014, approximately 71% of the face value of the Company’s outstanding notes payable were sourced from a single entity (the “Bermuda Lender”). See Note 5 – Notes Payable for additional discussion of the Bermuda Lender.
Revenue Recognition
Research and Development Agreements
The Company’s policy is to recognize research and development revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement, regardless of the payment structure, subject to potential acceleration upon achievement of contractually specified deliverables.
On March 19, 2014, the Company entered into a one-year agreement with a Japanese pharmaceutical company to perform specified research and development activities related to stem cells. The agreement may be terminated earlier or extended, as provided for in the agreement. Payment terms are (1) $150,000 at commencement; (2) $50,000 upon achievement of a specified deliverable; and (3) $50,000 upon achievement of the final specified deliverable. As of March 31, 2014, the initial $150,000 payment had been received and was recorded as deferred revenues on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Revenue Recognition – Continued
Research and Development Agreements – Continued
On March 24, 2014, the Company entered into a two-year agreement with a U.S. pharmaceutical company to perform specified research and development activities related to brown fat. The agreement may be terminated earlier or extended, as provided for in the agreement. Payment terms are (1) $250,000 at commencement; (2) $356,250 payable in four equal quarterly installments, subject to acceleration upon achieving a specified deliverable; and (3) $168,750 payable in two equal bi-annual installments, subject to acceleration upon achieving a specified deliverable. As of March 31, 2014, the initial $250,000 payment had not been received.
The Company did not recognize any revenue related to research and development agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.
Other
The Company’s policy is to recognize product sales when the risk of loss and title to the product transfers to the customer, after taking into account potential returns. The Company recognizes sublicensing and royalty revenue when all of the following have occurred: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the service is completed without further obligation, (iii) the sales price to the customer is fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s revenue was attributable to sales of Stem Pearls® skincare products.
Net Loss Per Common Share
Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of vested common shares outstanding, plus the impact of common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the vesting of restricted stock and the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants.
The following securities are excluded from the calculation of weighted average dilutive common shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:
March 31, | ||||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Options | 7,783,000 | 4,078,000 | ||||||
Warrants | 5,325,751 | 4,217,800 | ||||||
Convertible instruments | 1,519,015 | - | ||||||
Total potentially dilutive shares | 14,627,766 | 8,295,800 |
Stock-Based Compensation
The Company measures the cost of services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award. For employees, the fair value of the award is measured on the grant date and for non-employees, the fair value of the award is generally re-measured on vesting dates and interim financial reporting dates until the service period is complete. The fair value amount is then recognized over the period during which services are required to be provided in exchange for the award, usually the vesting period. Since the shares underlying the Company’s 2010 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”) are not currently registered, the fair value of the Company’s restricted equity instruments was estimated by management based on observations of the cash sales prices of both restricted shares and freely tradable shares. Awards granted to directors are treated on the same basis as awards granted to employees.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Continued
Convertible Instruments
GAAP requires companies to bifurcate conversion options from their host instruments and account for them as free standing derivative financial instruments according to certain criteria. The criteria include circumstances in which (a) the economic characteristics and risks of the embedded derivative instrument are not clearly and closely related to the economic characteristics and risks of the host contract, (b) the hybrid instrument that embodies both the embedded derivative instrument and the host contract is not re-measured at fair value under otherwise applicable generally accepted accounting principles with changes in fair value reported in earnings as they occur and (c) a separate instrument with the same terms as the embedded derivative instrument would be considered a derivative instrument. An exception to this rule is when the host instrument is deemed to be conventional, as that term is described under applicable GAAP.
When the Company has determined that the embedded conversion options should not be bifurcated from their host instruments, the Company records, when necessary, discounts to convertible notes for the intrinsic value of conversion options embedded in debt instruments based upon the differences between the fair value of the underlying common stock at the commitment date of the note transaction and the effective conversion price embedded in the note. Debt discounts under these arrangements are amortized over the term of the related debt to their stated date of redemption.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparative purposes to conform to the fiscal 2014 presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on the previously reported net loss.
Subsequent Events
The Company evaluates events that have occurred after the balance sheet date but before the financial statements are issued. Based upon the evaluation, the Company did not identify any recognized or non-recognized subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the condensed consolidated financial statements, except as disclosed in Note 8.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists." This ASU addresses the requirements regarding the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit within ASC Topic 740 for the purpose of providing consistency between the financial reporting of U.S. GAAP entities. Generally, this ASU provides guidance for the preparation of financial statements and disclosures when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This ASU is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and did not have a material impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

The option grant date value of $5,860 will be recognized proportionate to the vesting period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company issued an aggregate of 21,691 shares of common stock valued at $14,071 to consultants pursuant to consulting agreements.
Claims
In November 2013, an action was commenced in the Circuit Court of Palm Beach County, Florida by an alleged former consultant against the Company. The action is associated with an alleged loan made in 2009 and an alleged consulting/employment agreement entered into with the Company effective in 2009. Pursuant to the action, the plaintiff is seeking to recover an unspecified amount of damages but at least approximately $193,000 of cash and warrants for the purchase of 80,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. During March 2014, the Company filed its answer to the complaint wherein it denied the allegations and entered thirteen affirmative defenses. Procedural hearings are scheduled to commence in July 2014. The Company has not accrued for a loss associated with this matter as it believes that the claims are without merit and it intends to vigorously defend this matter.
The Company records legal costs associated with loss contingencies as incurred and accrues for all probable and estimable settlements.

Note 7 – Stockholders’ Deficiency - Continued
Warrant and Option Valuation
The Company has computed the fair value of warrants and options granted using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Option forfeitures are estimated at the time of valuation and reduce expense ratably over the vesting period. This estimate will be adjusted periodically based on the extent to which actual option forfeitures differ, or are expected to differ, from the previous estimate, when it is material. The Company estimated forfeitures related to option grants at an annual rate of 0% for options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The expected term used for warrants and options issued to non-employees is the contractual life and the expected term used for options issued to employees is the estimated period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The Company utilizes the “simplified” method to develop an estimate of the expected term of “plain vanilla” employee option grants. Since the Company’s stock has not been publicly traded for a sufficiently long period of time, the Company is utilizing an expected volatility figure based on a review of the historical volatilities, over a period of time, equivalent to the expected life of the instrument being valued, of similarly positioned public companies within its industry. The risk-free interest rate was determined from the implied yields from U.S. Treasury zero-coupon bonds with a remaining term consistent with the expected term of the instrument being valued.
Warrant Exercise and Reload Program
On November 27, 2013, the Company initiated a limited time program (the “Warrant Exercise and Reload Program”) which, at the election of any warrant holder, would permit them to immediately exercise their outstanding exercisable warrants at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. In connection with the exercise of the warrant, in addition to having received the number of shares pursuant to such exercise, each holder would receive a new warrant for the same number of shares purchased with an exercise price of $0.75 per share and an expiration date of December 31, 2015. The terms of the newly issued warrant permit the Company to redeem 100% of the shares underlying the new warrant for a total of $1.00 if the common stock of the Company trades above $1.25 for five consecutive trading days. Under the Warrant Exercise and Reload Program, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 266,667 shares of common stock were exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2014 for aggregate gross proceeds of $80,000. The Company recognized a $30,128 warrant modification charge during the three months ended March 31, 2014, which represents the incremental value of the modified warrant and new warrant combined, as compared to the original warrant value, all valued as of the respective modification dates.
Stock Warrants
See Note 5 – Notes Payable for details associated with the issuance of warrants in connection with note issuances and the exchange of notes payable. See Note 6 – Commitments and Contingencies for details associated with the issuance of warrants as compensation. See Note 7 – Stockholders’ Deficiency – Common Stock Issuances for details associated with the issuance of warrants in connection with common stock issuances.
In applying the Black-Scholes option pricing model to warrants granted, the Company used the following weighted average assumptions:

Expected volatility | 121 | % | 135 | % | ||||
Expected dividends | 0.00 | % | 0.00 | % |
The weighted average estimated fair value of the warrants granted during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $0.22 and $0.61 per share, respectively.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition of BioRestorative Therapies, Inc. (and including its subsidiaries, "BRT" or the “Company”) as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the notes to those financial statements that are included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview
We are a development stage enterprise whose primary activities since inception have been the development of our business plan, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements, raising capital and the sponsorship of research and development activities.
Our goal is to develop technology using cell and tissue regenerative therapy protocols, primarily involving adult stem cells, allowing patients to undergo cellular-based treatments. As more and more cellular therapies become standard of care, we intend to focus on the unity of medical and scientific explanations for future clinical procedures and outcomes and the provision of adult stem cells for future personal medical applications. Among the initiatives that we are currently pursuing is our brtxDISC™ (Disc Implanted Stem Cells) Program. We have obtained a license that permits us to use technology for adult stem cell treatment of disc and spine conditions, including protruding, bulging and herniated discs. The technology is an advanced stem cell injection procedure that may offer relief from lower back pain, buttock and leg pain, and numbness and tingling in the legs and feet. Another technology we are developing is our ThermoStem® Program. This pre-clinical program involves the use of brown fat in connection with the cell-based treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity as well as hypertension, other metabolic disorders and cardiac deficiencies.
We also offer stem cell derived cosmetic and skin care products. Pursuant to our brtx-C Cosmetic Program, we have developed an ingredient derived from human adult stem cells which can be used by third party companies in the development of their own skin care products. Separately, through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Stem Pearls, LLC, we offer facial creams and other skin care products with certain ingredients that may include plant stem cells and/or other plant derived stem cell optimization or regenerative compounds.
We currently are seeking to establish a new laboratory facility and increase our capabilities for the further development of possible cellular-based treatment protocols, stem cell-related intellectual property and research applications.
Since inception, we have incurred substantial losses. As of March 31, 2014, the deficit accumulated during the development stage was $21,482,090, our stockholders’ deficiency was $6,983,092 and our working capital deficiency was $7,789,326. We have not generated significant revenues and our losses have principally been operating expenses incurred in development, marketing and promotional activities in order to commercialize our products and services, plus costs associated with meeting the requirements of being a public company. We expect to continue to incur substantial costs for these activities over at least the next year.
20 | Page |
Based upon our working capital deficiency as of March 31, 2014 and our forecast for continued operating losses, we require equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. Between December 2008 and March 31, 2014, we raised an aggregate of $6,842,417 in net debt financing and $4,821,984 in net equity financing, including proceeds received from the exercise of common stock purchase warrants. As of March 31, 2014, our outstanding debt of $5,605,500, together with interest at stated rates ranging between 8% and 15% per annum, was due on various dates through February 2015. Subsequent to March 31, 2014 and through May 14, 2014, we have received aggregate debt financing of $530,000, we have received research and development fee payments of $250,000, the due date for the repayment of $652,500 of debt has been extended, $25,000 and $5,801 of debt and accrued interest, respectively, has been repaid and $25,000 and $1,500 of debt and accrued interest, respectively, has been exchanged for common stock. Giving effect to the above actions, we currently have notes payable aggregating $251,750 which are either past due or payable on demand. Based upon our working capital deficiency and outstanding debt, we expect to be able to fund our operations through June 2014. We are currently in the process of negotiating extensions or discussing conversions to equity with respect to these notes. We are currently considering several different financing alternatives to support our operations thereafter. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis and, notwithstanding any request we may make, our debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, we may have to curtail our development, marketing and promotional activities, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately we could be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Recent Developments
Research and Development Agreements
On March 19, 2014, we entered into a one-year research and development agreement with a Japanese pharmaceutical company. Pursuant to the agreement, we have been engaged to provide research and development services with regard to stem cells. The agreement provides for an initial payment to us of $150,000 (which was received in March 2014) and the payment of up to an additional $100,000, subject to the achievement of specified deliverables.
On March 24, 2014, we entered into a research agreement with a U.S. pharmaceutical company. Pursuant to the agreement, we have been engaged to provide research and development services with regard to brown fat. The agreement provides for an initial payment to us of $250,000 (which was received in April 2014) and the payment of up to an additional $525,000 during the two year term of the agreement.
Medical and Scientific Advisory
On February 20, 2014, we executed a two-year consulting agreement with the Physiatrist-In-Chief Emeritus for the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City to become our Chief Medical Advisor for Spine Medicine whereby he would assume responsibility for the clinical aspects of the brtxDISC™ Program. The agreement may be terminated earlier or extended, as provided for in the agreement. Payments are scheduled to be $10,000 per month, escalating to $20,000 per month upon the FDA approval of our Investigational New Drug or Investigational Device Exemption application with respect to our brtxDISC™ Program. In addition, we granted a five-year option to purchase 300,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share, pursuant to the Plan. The option vests ratably over three years on the grant date anniversaries.
On March 14, 2014, we executed an agreement, which will continue until terminated by either party, appointing a new Scientific Advisory Board member. Pursuant to the agreement, we immediately granted the new Advisor a five-year option to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 per share, pursuant to the Plan. The shares vest as follows: (i) 12,500 shares immediately and (ii) 12,500 shares on the first anniversary of the grant date. In addition, on each annual anniversary date of the agreement, the Advisor is entitled to a new five-year option to purchase 5,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price equal to the then fair market value of the common stock.

Gross profit
Revenues consisted of sales of Stem Pearls® skincare products. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, revenues were $375 as compared to $1,130 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Cost of goods sold consisted of the costs of the underlying products. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, cost of goods sold was $60 as compared to $162 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Marketing and promotion
Marketing and promotion expenses include advertising and promotion, marketing and seminars, meals, and entertainment and travel expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, marketing and promotion expenses increased by $1,913, or 6%, to $31,794 from $29,881 in the comparable 2013 period.
We expect that marketing and promotion expenses will continue to increase in the future as we increase our marketing activities following full commercialization of our products and services.
22 | Page |
Consulting
Consulting expenses consist of consulting fees and stock-based compensation to consultants. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, consulting expenses increased $37,082, or 16%, to $267,198 from $230,116 in the comparable 2013 period. The increase is primarily due to an approximate $46,000 increase in non-cash stock-based compensation to directors, consultants and advisors.
Research and development
Research and development expenses include cash and non-cash compensation of (a) our Chief Executive Officer (in part); (b) our Vice President of Research and Development; and (c) our Scientific Advisory Board members, and costs related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives. Research and development expenses are expensed as they are incurred. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, research and development expenses increased by $93,299, or 23%, to $493,741 from $400,442 in the comparable 2013 period. The increase is primarily related to cash and non-cash compensation of our Vice President of Research and Development and our Scientific Advisory Board members of approximately $67,000 and costs of approximately $29,000 related to our brown fat and disc/spine initiatives.
We expect that our research and development expenses will continue to increase with the continuation of the aforementioned initiatives.
General and administrative
General and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, severance costs and stock-based compensation to employees (excluding any cash or non-cash compensation of (a) our Chief Executive Officer attributable to research and development and (b) our Vice President of Research and Development) as well as corporate support expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and occupancy related expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, general and administrative expenses decreased by $4,110, or 1%, to $636,000 from $640,110 in the comparable 2013 period.
We expect that our general and administrative expenses will increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur additional costs to support the growth of our business.
Interest expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, interest expense decreased $124,737, or 63%, to $73,131 from $197,868 in the comparable 2013 period. The decrease was due to a reduction in interest-bearing outstanding short-term borrowings as compared to the first quarter of 2013.
Amortization of debt discount
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, amortization of debt discount increased by $37,156, or 61%, to $98,505 from $61,349 in the comparable 2013 period. The increase was primarily due the timing of the recognition of the debt discount expense.
Loss on extinguishment of notes payable, net
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of notes payable, net of $49,094, which is associated with investors’ conversion of debt into equity securities, as compared to a loss on extinguishment of notes payable of $7,200 for the three months ended March 31, 2013.
Warrant modification expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we recorded expense of $30,128 related to the modification of outstanding investor warrants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:
March 31, | December 31, | |||||||
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Cash | $ | 110,360 | $ | 201,098 | ||||
Working Capital Deficiency | $ | (7,789,326 | ) | $ | (7,262,748 | ) | ||
Notes Payable (Gross - Current) | $ | 5,330,500 | $ | 5,754,500 |
Availability of Additional Funds
Based upon our working capital deficiency and stockholders’ deficiency of $7,789,326 and $6,983,092, respectively, as of March 31, 2014 and the relative insignificance of the revenues from inception to March 31, 2014, we require additional equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
Between December 2008 and March 31, 2014, we raised an aggregate of $6,842,417 in net debt financing and $4,821,984 in net equity financing. As of March 31, 2014, our outstanding debt of $5,605,500, together with interest at stated rates ranging between 8% and 15% per annum, was due on various dates through February 2015. Subsequent to March 31, 2014 and through May 14, 2014, we have received aggregate debt financing of $530,000, we have received research and development fee payments of $250,000, the due date for the repayment of $652,500 of debt has been extended, $25,000 and $5,801 of debt and accrued interest, respectively, has been repaid and $25,000 and $1,500 of debt and accrued interest, respectively, has been exchanged for common stock. Giving effect to the above actions, we currently have notes payable aggregating $251,750 which are either past due or payable on demand. As of the date of filing, our outstanding debt was as follows:
Principal | ||||
Maturity Date | Amount | |||
Past Due/On Demand | $ | 251,750 | ||
QE 6/30/14 | 81,250 | |||
QE 9/30/14 | 4,325,000 | |||
QE 12/31/14 | 672,685 | |||
QE 3/31/15 | 50,000 | |||
QE 6/30/15 | 783,873 | |||
$ | 6,164,558 |
Based upon our working capital deficiency, outstanding debt and forecast for continued operating losses we expect that the cash we currently have available will fund our operations through June 2014. Thereafter, we will need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity or debt securities, to support our future operations and to repay our debt (unless, if requested, the debt holders agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes). Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.
We may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or raise capital on favorable terms. Debt financing may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness, and may contain other terms that are not favorable to our stockholders or us. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values. The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, our sources and uses of cash were as follows:
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities
We experienced negative cash flow from operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 in the amounts of $806,728 and $771,773, respectively. The net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $1,669,676, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $568,152, partially offset by $294,796 of net cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of extending payments to vendors due to cash constraints during the period. The net cash used in operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was primarily due to cash used to fund a net loss of $1,565,998, adjusted for non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $350,091, partially offset by $443,411 of cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities, primarily as a result of extending payments to vendors, due to cash constraints during the period.
Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2014, $980 of cash was provided by investing activities due to the proceeds received from the sale of fixed assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, no cash was provided by or used in investing activities.
Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 was $715,010 and $1,270,000, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, $90,010 of net proceeds were from debt financings and $625,000 of proceeds were from equity financings (including proceeds received in connection with the exercise of common stock purchase warrants). During the three months ended March 31, 2013, $820,000 of proceeds were from equity financings and $450,000 of proceeds were from debt financings.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There are no material changes from the critical accounting policies set forth in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2014. Please refer to that document for disclosures regarding the critical accounting policies related to our business.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None.
Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls are procedures that are designed with the objective of ensuring that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), such as this Quarterly Report, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls are also designed with the objective of ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive and Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Internal controls are procedures which are designed with the objective of providing reasonable assurance that (1) our transactions are properly authorized, recorded and reported; and (2) our assets are safeguarded against unauthorized or improper use, to permit the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles.
In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, management, with the participation of our Principal Executive and Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon that evaluation, our Principal Executive and Financial Officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Controls
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations of the Effectiveness of Control
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations of any control system, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, if any, within a company have been detected.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we issued the following securities in transactions not involving any public offering. For each of the following transactions, we relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as transactions by an issuer not involving any public offering. For each such transaction, we did not use general solicitation or advertising to market the securities, the securities were offered to a limited number of persons, the investors had access to information regarding us (including information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2013, June 30, 2013 and September 30, 2013, and Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and press releases made by us), and we were available to answer questions from prospective investors. We reasonably believe that each of the investors is an accredited investor. The proceeds were used to reduce our working capital deficit.

On May 8, 2014, Stem Cell Cayman Ltd, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, borrowed $500,000 from Westbury (Bermuda) Ltd., one of our principal shareholders. The promissory note evidencing the loan (the “Note”) provides for the payment of the principal amount, together with interest at the rate of 15% per annum, on May 7, 2015. The Note also provides for the mandatory prepayment of the principal amount to the extent of any monies received by us pursuant to the Research and Development Agreement, dated as of March 19, 2014, between Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and us and/or the Research Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2014, between Pfizer Inc. and us. Interest on the entire principal amount of the Note is payable until such time as the principal amount is paid in full.
Effective May 9, 2014, we entered into an amendment to our Research Agreement, dated June 15, 012, with the University of Utah (the “University”) (the “Utah Agreement”). Pursuant to the amendment, the parties agreed that (i) no fees are payable by us to the University pursuant to the Utah Agreement for the five month period ending May 15, 2014, (ii) effective with the payment due on June 15, 2014, the monthly fee payable by us to the University pursuant to the Utah Agreement will be reduced from $41,667 to $20,000 and (iii) the scope of the work to be performed by the University pursuant to the Utah Agreement will be reduced. The Utah Agreement is scheduled to expire on June 14, 2015.
