NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
For the Nine Months Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011
Note 1. Managements 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 three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending March 31, 2013. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2012.
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 serves the biotech industries providing comprehensive solutions for frozen cold chain logistics, primarily in the life science industries. Its solutions are novel, new and reliable alternatives to currently existing products and services utilized for bio-pharmaceuticals and biologics, including in-vitro fertilization, cell lines, stem cells, cord blood, vaccines, tissue and other commodities requiring a reliable frozen solution. Cryoports solutions can contribute to both the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical trials.
The Cryoport Express® Solution includes a web-based logistics platform branded as the CryoportalTM (formerly referred to as the CryoPort Express® Portal). The Cryoportal manages customer ordering, tracking, customs documentation, and communication through a single interface as well as enabling the monitoring of a shipments location and integrity throughout the entire shipping process. In addition, the Cryoportal provides an array of information dashboards and validation documentation for every shipment.
Integral to this solution are also, in part, the Cryoport Liquid Nitrogen Dry Vapor Shippers (Cryoport Express® Shippers) which are cost-effective and reusable cryogenic transport containers (patented vacuum flasks) utilizing innovative liquid nitrogen (LN2) based technology. Cryoport Express Shippers are non-hazardous, IATA (International Air Transport Association) certified, and are validated to maintain stable temperatures below minus 150° Celsius for a 10-plus day dynamic shipment period. The Company currently features two Cryoport Express Shipper models, the Standard Dry Shipper (holding up to approximately 75-2.0 ml vials) and the High Volume Dry Shipper (holding up to approximately 500-2.0 ml vials).
The Cryoport Express® Solution provides a fully documented chain-of-custody and at customer request chain-of-condition for every shipment, helping ensure that quality, safety, efficacy, and stability of shipped commodities are maintained. The Cryoport Express Solution can be used by customers, as a turn-key solution, through direct access to the cloud-based Cryoportal, or by contacting Cryoport Client Care for order entry tasks. Cryoport provides 24/7/365 logistics services through its Client Care Team and also provides complete training and process management services to support each customers requirements.
The Cryoport Express® Solution has been the Companys principal focus for development and commercialization. In addition, during the first half of fiscal year 2013, the Company expanded its service offering to address specific market needs in the life science industry. The primary Cryoport service offerings are now as follows:
| Cryoport Express® Solution |
The fully outsourced turn-key logistics solution described above.
| Customer-Staged Solution |
Cryoport ships multiple Cryoport Express Shippers to the customer (uncharged and in bulk) enabling the customer to charge the shippers at their facility, process its orders through the Cryoportal and then return the shippers to Cryoport after each shipment for cleaning, testing and refurbishing. Cryoport provides the 24/7/365 logistics services utilizing its Cryoportal logistics platform.

Table of Contents
| Customer-Managed Solution |
Cryoport ships a fully charged Cryoport Express Shipper(s) to the Customer enabling the customer to utilize their internal expertise and manage all or a portion of the logistics services. As with the above solutions, the shippers are returned to Cryoport for cleaning, testing and refurbishing within a pre-determined time period.
| Customer Integrated Logistics |
The Cryoport Logistics Team provides the full capability of the Cryoportal to provide complete logistics services while enabling the customer to utilize their own packaging solutions.
| Distribution Partnerships |
Partnership arrangements with freight forwarder, integrators, and other logistics providers to be a part of their solution and identified as powered by Cryoport.
As part of our distribution partnership offering, we have an agreement with Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) to provide frozen shipping logistics services through the combination of our purpose built proprietary technologies and turnkey management processes. FedEx markets and sells Cryoports services for frozen temperature-controlled cold chain transportation as its FedEx® Deep Frozen Shipping Solution, on a non-exclusive basis and at its sole expense. During 2012, the Company worked closely with FedEx to further align its sales efforts and accelerate penetration within FedExs life sciences customer base through improved processes, sales incentives, joint customer calls and more frequent communication at the sales and executive level. In addition, the Company has developed a FedEx branded portal, which is powered by the Cryoport, for use by FedEx and its customers giving them access to the full capabilities of our logistics management platform.
Subsequent to quarter end the Company entered into a master agreement (FedEx Agreement) with FedEx renewing these services and providing FedEx with a non-exclusive license and right to use a customized version of our Cryoportal for the management of shipments made by FedEx customers. The Agreement was effective on January 1, 2013 and, unless sooner terminated as provided in the FedEx Agreement, expires on December 31, 2015.
The Company continues its agreement with another global courier, DHL Express (USA), Inc. (DHL) that gives DHL life science customers direct access to the Companys 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 Companys customers using the CryoPort Express® shipping solution. In connection with the agreement, the Company has integrated its proprietary web portal to DHLs tracking and billing systems to provide DHL life science customers with a seamless way of shipping their critical biological material worldwide.
In December 2012, we signed an agreement with Pfizer Inc. relating to Zoetis Inc. (formerly the animal health business unit of Pfizer Inc.) pursuant to which we were engaged to manage frozen shipments of a key poultry vaccine. Under this arrangement, the Company will provide on-site logistics personnel and its logistics management platform, the CryoportalTM, to manage shipments from the Zoetis manufacturing site in the United States to domestic customers as well as various international distribution centers. As part of its logistics management services, the Company will analyze shipping data and processes to further streamline Zoetis logistics, ensuring products arrive to their destinations in specified conditions, on-time and with the optimum uses of resources. Initially, the Company will manage Pfizers total fleet of dewar flask shippers used for this purpose, including liquid nitrogen shippers.
We offer our solutions to companies in the life science industries and are targeting specific verticals including biotech and diagnostic companies, pharmaceutical companies, central laboratories, contract research organizations and research institutions. 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 six to eighteen months or longer to complete prior to a potential customer adopting the Cryoport Express® shipping solution.
Going Concern
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the accrual method of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP and have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the normal course of business. We have sustained operating losses since our inception and have used substantial amounts of working capital in our operations. Further, at December 31, 2012, we had an accumulated deficit of $64,594,537, we had a net loss of $4,665,522 and we used cash in operations of $3,678,188 during the nine months ended December 31, 2012. These factors raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
We expect to continue to incur substantial additional operating losses from costs related to the commercialization of our Cryoport Express® shipping solutions and do not expect that revenues from operations will be sufficient to satisfy our funding requirements in the near term. We believe that our cash resources at December 31, 2012, together with the revenues generated from our services and the continued focus on cost reductions of non-sales generating costs will be sufficient to sustain our planned operations into the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013; however, we must obtain additional capital to fund operations thereafter and for the achievement of sustained profitable operations. We are currently working on funding alternatives in order to secure sufficient operating capital to allow us to continue to operate as a going concern (see Note 9).
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® shipping solutions as well as our ability to establish additional collaborative arrangements. We cannot make any assurances that the sales ramp together with cost reduction measures will lead to achievement of sustained profitable operations or that any additional financing will be completed on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all. Managements inability to successfully achieve significant sales increases or its cost reduction strategies or to complete any other financing will adversely impact our ability to continue as a going concern. To address this issue, the Company has instituted a cost containment program and is seeking additional capitalization to properly fund its efforts to become a self-sustaining financially viable entity.

Table of Contents
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 Companys 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 Companys financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, related-party notes payable and accrued interest, convertible notes payable, accounts payable and accrued expenses. The carrying value for all such instruments approximates fair value at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, due to their short term nature. The difference between the fair value and recorded values of the related party notes payable and accrued interest is not significant. The Companys restricted cash is carried at amortized cost which approximates fair value at March 31, 2012.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less to be cash equivalents.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash and cash equivalents
The Company maintains its cash 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, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Company had no cash balances which exceeded the FDIC insurance limits. The Company performs ongoing evaluations of these institutions to limit its concentration risk exposure.
Restricted cash
In conjunction with the private placement in February 2012, the Company was required to deposit $444,168 into an escrow account representing the total future principal payments due to one of the convertible debenture holders (see Note 5). The remaining monthly payments were issued from the escrow account. At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012, $0 and $251,368 remained in escrow, 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 Companys 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, 2012 and March 31, 2012 are net of reserves for doubtful accounts of approximately $11,200 and $5,500, 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, 2012 and 2011, the Company had foreign sales of approximately $142,000 and $83,000, respectively, which constituted approximately 46% and 58%, respectively, of net revenues. During the nine month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company had foreign sales of approximately $321,000 and $204,000, respectively, which constituted approximately 44% and 54%, respectively, of net revenues.
The majority of the Companys 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. No customers accounted for more than 10% of revenues during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012. Net revenues for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011 from two major customers accounted for 22% and 27%, of our total net revenues, respectively. The Company maintains reserves for bad debt and such losses, in the aggregate, which historically have not exceeded our estimates.

Table of Contents
Inventories
The Companys inventories consist of accessories that are sold and shipped to customers along with pay-per-use containers that are not returned to the Company along with the containers at the culmination of the customers 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, 2012 and March 31, 2012, the Companys inventories consisted of $28,489 and $32,559 in raw materials, respectively, and $26,970 and $19,195 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 Companys 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 customers 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 86% of the Companys net property and equipment balance at December 31, 2012, 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 $63,183 and $222,729 and $62,566 and $176,990 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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, 2012 and 2011 was $27,148 and $84,533 and $26,120 and $73,747, respectively. All of the Companys 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, 2012 or March 31, 2012.
Financing Costs
Financing costs represent costs incurred in connection with private equity financing. Financing from equity financings are netted against the gross proceeds received from the equity financings.
During the year ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred $572,255 of offering costs in connection with the private placement that closed in February and March 2012, which were charged to additional paid-in capital and netted against the proceeds received in the private placements. As of March 31, 2012, offering costs of $78,480 related to the private placement were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet and were paid during the nine months ended December 31, 2012. During the nine months ended December 31, 2012, the Company incurred $103,542 of offering costs in connection with this private placement. As of December 31, 2012, offering costs of $53,747 related to this private placement were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Table of Contents
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, the Company incurred $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 nine months ended December 31, 2011, the Company made payments of $121,727 in connection with offering cost related to the private placement in February 2011 which were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses as of 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.
Derivative Liabilities
Certain of the Companys issued and outstanding common stock purchase warrants 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).
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 Companys 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 customers 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.

Stock-based Compensation
The Company accounts for stock-based payments to employees and directors in accordance with stock-based payment accounting guidance which requires all stock-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.
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, 2012 and March 31, 2012 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 Companys loss position, there were no such tax benefits during the nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.
The Company uses Black-Scholes to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards. The determination of fair value using Black-Scholes is affected by its stock price as well as assumptions regarding a number of complex and subjective variables, including expected stock price volatility, risk-free interest rate, expected dividends and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors (see Note 8 for the Stock Plan Description and summary of assumptions and activity).
Equity Instruments Issued to Non-Employees for Acquiring Goods or Services
Issuances of the Companys 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).
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 Companys 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, 2012 and 2011, 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 37,830,000 and 37,828,000, and 31,940,000 and 34,340,000 for the three and nine month periods ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
Segment Reporting
We currently operate in only one segment.
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 Companys 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 securitys hierarchy level is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following table presents the Companys warrants measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2012 classified using the valuation hierarchy:

Note 3. Line of Credit
On October 19, 2010, the Company secured a one-year renewal of the line of credit (the Line) for a reduced amount of $90,000 which was secured by a $90,000 certificate of deposit with a financial institution. On August 25, 2011, the Company paid the entire balance in full and the line has been terminated. All borrowings under the revolving line of credit bore variable interest based on 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 Companys Cryoport Express® Dry Shipper. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded interest expense of $0 and $1,725, respectively, related to the Line.

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 was amortized over the term of the agreement, and in addition, Dr. Grossman was issued a warrant to purchase 200,000 shares of the Companys common stock at an exercise price of $0.77 per share which was fully vested upon issuance (see Note 8).
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 Companys 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 $76,000 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.

The October 2007 Debentures was convertible into shares of the Companys common stock at a price of $3.00 per share. The debentures bore interest at 8% per annum. The Company had been obligated to make principal or additional interest payments since March 1, 2011 with respect to the outstanding balances of the debentures. The Company made the monthly principal payments of $200,000 and quarterly interest payments. The debentures were repaid during the quarter ended June 2012.
During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized an aggregate of $0 and $8,843, and $42,614 and $170,544, respectively, in interest expense, respectively, due to amortization of debt discount related to the warrants and beneficial conversion features associated with the Companys outstanding convertible notes payable. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recorded interest expense of $0 and $3,099, and $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 Companys outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock 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, 2012 and March 31, 2012 the Company had derivative warrant liabilities of $9,622 and $37,334, respectively.

During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized aggregate gains/(losses) of $(6,112) and $27,712 and $60,185 and $109,153, respectively, due to the change in fair value of its derivative instruments. (See Note 2).
The Companys 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:
For the nine Months Ended December 31, 2012 |
For the Year Ended March 31, 2012 | |||
(unaudited) | ||||
Expected dividend |
| | ||
Expected term (in years) |
1.26 to 1.81 | 2.01 to 2.81 | ||
Risk free interest rate |
0.16% to 0.33% | 0.33% to 0.81% | ||
Expected volatility |
129% to 134% | 124% to 132% |
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 currently lease two facilities, with approximately 11,900 square feet of corporate, research and development, and warehouse facilities, located in Lake Forest, California (Lake Forest Facility) and approximately 4,100 square feet of corporate facilities 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 with Regis Management Group, LLC (Lessor) for six (6) executive offices in San Diego which the Company terminated effective December 31, 2011. Aggregate base lease payments for these offices were approximately $9,250 per month. On November 28, 2011, the Company entered into a lease agreement for the San Diego Facility 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.
Total rental expense was approximately $49,000 and $156,000 and $67,000 and $217,000 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 agreement provides for one year terms ending on December 31 of each year, but it automatically renews for one year periods unless otherwise terminated. Consulting fees for services provided by KLATU were $91,145 and $287,816, and $122,457 and $356,335 for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 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 Companys 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.
During the normal course of business, the Company has made certain indemnities and guarantees under which it may be required to make payments in relation to certain transactions.

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 Companys 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 the 2002 Plan has expired.
On October 9, 2009, the Companys stockholders approved and adopted the 2009 Plan, which had previously been approved by the Companys 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 Companys 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, 2012, the Company has 290,366 shares available for future Awards under the 2009 Plan.
On September 22, 2011, the Companys stockholders approved and adopted the 2011 Plan, which had previously been approved by the Companys 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 Companys 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 Companys common stock were 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. On September 13, 2012 the stockholders approved an increase to the number of shares of the Companys common stock available for issuance by 3,000,000 shares. 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, 2012, the Company is authorized to issue up to 5,300,000 shares under this plan and has 2,363,733 shares available for future issuances as of December 31, 2012.
In addition to the stock options issued pursuant to the Companys 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.
On November 5, 2012, the Companys board of directors appointed Jerrell W. Shelton to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer, effective as of November 5, 2012. In connection with Mr. Sheltons appointment as our President and Chief Executive Officer, the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Shelton, which the parties executed on November 5, 2012. Included in the agreement was a stock option grant of 1,650,000 options to purchase common stock of which 650,000 were issued under the 2011 stock option plan and 1,000,000 were issued outside of a plan. The fair value of the options granted under the plan was $109,980 and the fair value of options granted outside of a plan was $169,200. The options vest monthly over six months in equal six month installments.
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, risk free interest rate, expected option life and forfeiture rates.

General Overview
The Company serves the biotech industries providing comprehensive solutions for frozen cold chain logistics, primarily in the life science industries. Its solutions are novel new and reliable alternatives to currently existing products and services utilized for bio-pharmaceuticals and biologics, including in-vitro fertilization, cell lines, stem cells, cord blood, vaccines, tissue and other commodities requiring a reliable frozen solution. Cryoports solutions can contribute to both the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical trials.
The Cryoport Express® Solution includes a web-based logistics platform branded as the CryoportalTM (formerly referred to as the CryoPort Express® Portal). The Cryoportal manages customer ordering, tracking, customs documentation, and communication through a single interface as well as enabling the monitoring of a shipments location and integrity throughout the entire shipping process. In addition, the Cryoportal provides an array of information dashboards and validation documentation for every shipment.
Integral to this solution are also, in part, the Cryoport Liquid Nitrogen Dry Vapor Shippers (Cryoport Express® Shippers) which are cost-effective and reusable cryogenic transport containers (patented vacuum flasks) utilizing innovative liquid nitrogen (LN2) based technology. Cryoport Express Shippers are non-hazardous, IATA (International Air Transport Association) certified, and are validated to maintain stable temperatures below minus 150° Celsius for a 10-plus day dynamic shipment period. The Company currently features two Cryoport Express Shipper models, the Standard Dry Shipper (holding up to approximately 75-2.0 ml vials) and the High Volume Dry Shipper (holding up to approximately 500-2.0 ml vials).
The Cryoport Express® Solution provides a fully documented chain-of-custody and at customer request chain-of-condition for every shipment, helping ensure that quality, safety, efficacy, and stability of shipped commodities are maintained.

The Cryoport Express® Solution has been the Companys principal focus for development and commercialization. In addition, during the first half of fiscal year 2013, the Company expanded its service offering to address specific market needs in the life science industry. The primary Cryoport service offerings are now as follows:
| Cryoport Express® Solution |
The fully outsourced turn-key logistics solution described above.
| Customer-Staged Solution |
Cryoport ships multiple Cryoport Express® Shippers to the customer (uncharged and in bulk) enabling the Customer to charge the shippers at their facility, process its orders through the Cryoportal and then return the shippers to Cryoport after each shipment for cleaning, testing and refurbishing. Cryoport provides the 24/7/365 logistics services utilizing its Cryoportal logistics platform.
| Customer-Managed Solution |
Cryoport ships a fully charged Cryoport Express® Shipper(s) to the customer enabling the customer to utilize their internal expertise and manage all or a portion of the logistics services. As with the above solutions, the shippers are returned to Cryoport for cleaning, testing and refurbishing within a pre-determined time period.
| Customer Integrated Logistics |
The Cryoport Logistics Team provides the full capability of the Cryoportal to provide complete logistics services while enabling the customer to utilize their own packaging solutions.
| Distribution Partnerships |
Partnership arrangements with freight forwarder, integrators, and other logistics providers to be a part of their solution and identified as powered by Cryoport.
As part of our distribution partnership offering, we have an agreement with Federal Express Corporation (FedEx) to provide frozen shipping logistics services through the combination of our purpose built proprietary technologies and turnkey management processes. FedEx markets and sells Cryoports services for frozen temperature-controlled cold chain transportation as its FedEx® Deep Frozen Shipping Solution, on a non-exclusive basis and at its sole expense. During 2012, the Company worked closely with FedEx to further align its sales efforts and accelerate penetration within FedExs life sciences customer base through improved processes, sales incentives, joint customer calls and more frequent communication at the sales and executive level. In addition, the Company has developed a FedEx branded portal, which is powered by the Cryoport, for use by FedEx and its customers giving them access to the full capabilities of our logistics management platform.
Subsequent to quarter end the Company entered into a master agreement (FedEx Agreement) with FedEx renewing these services and providing FedEx with a non-exclusive license and right to use a customized version of our Cryoportal for the management of shipments made by FedEx customers. The Agreement was effective on January 1, 2013 and, unless sooner terminated as provided in the FedEx Agreement, expires on December 31, 2015.
The Company continues its agreement with another global courier, DHL Express (USA), Inc. (DHL) that gives DHL life science customers direct access to the Companys 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 Companys customers using the CryoPort Express® shipping solution. In connection with the agreement, the Company has integrated its proprietary web portal to DHLs tracking and billing systems to provide DHL life science customers with a seamless way of shipping their critical biological material worldwide.
In December 2012, we signed an agreement with Pfizer Inc. relating to Zoetis Inc. (formerly the animal health business unit of Pfizer Inc.) pursuant to which we were engaged to manage frozen shipments of a key poultry vaccine. Under this arrangement, the Company will provide on-site logistics personnel and its logistics management platform, the CryoportalTM, to manage shipments from the Zoetis manufacturing site in the United States to domestic customers as well as various international distribution centers. As part of its logistics management services, the Company will analyze shipping data and processes to further streamline Zoetis logistics, ensuring products arrive to their destinations in specified conditions, on-time and with the optimum uses of resources. Initially, the Company will manage Pfizers total fleet of dewar flask shippers used for this purpose, including liquid nitrogen shippers.
We offer our solutions to companies in the life science industries and are targeting specific verticals including biotech and diagnostic companies, pharmaceutical companies, central laboratories, contract research organizations and research institutions. 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 nine to eighteen months or longer to complete prior to a potential customer adopting the Cryoport Express® shipping solution.
We have incurred losses since inception in 2003 and have an accumulated deficit of $64,594,537 through December 31, 2012.

Results of Operations
Three months ended December 31, 2012 compared to three months ended December 31, 2011:
Net revenues. Net revenues were $307,153 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $144,254 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The $162,899 or 113% increase is primarily driven by an increase in the number of customers utilizing our services compared to the same period in the prior year.
Gross loss and cost of revenues. Gross loss for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was 20% of net revenues, or $61,642 as compared to 139% of net revenues, or $200,448, for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in gross loss in absolute dollars is primarily due to increase in net revenues. Cost of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was 120% of net revenues, or $368,795, as compared to 239% of net revenues, or $344,702, for the three months ended December 31, 2011. 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 $1,392,937 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $1,740,324 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The $347,387 decrease reflects the decrease in headcount, in particular a temporary decrease in the sales and marketing department due to the replacement of certain sales representatives, and the resignation of our Chief Executive Officer in April 2012.
Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $94,424 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $120,702 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Our research and development efforts are focused on continually improving the features of the Cryoport Express® System including the Companys cloud-based logistics management platform, the Cryoportal and the Cryoport Express® Dry Shippers. The decrease in research and development is primarily due to a reduced level of development efforts related to the Cryoportal as customer requests for additional functionality have decreased.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $11,896 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $78,974 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Interest expense for the three months ended December 31, 2012 included accrued interest on our related party notes payable of approximately $10,000. 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 approximately $42,000 and interest expense on our convertible debentures of approximately $25,000.
Interest income. Interest income was $0 for the three month period ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $698 for the three month period ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to decrease in average cash balance of interest bearing accounts during the current quarter.
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The loss on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities was $6,112 for the three months ended December 31, 2012, compared to a gain of $60,185 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. The loss for the three months ended December 31, 2012 was the result of an increase in the value of our warrant derivatives, due primarily to an increase in our stock price from September 30, 2012.
Net loss. As a result of the factors described above, net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2012 decreased by $512,554 to $1,567,011 or $0.04 per share compared to a net loss of $2,079,565 or $0.07 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2011.
Nine months ended December 31, 2012 compared to nine months ended December 31, 2011:
Net revenues. Net revenues were $732,049 for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $378,718 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The $353,331 or 93% increase is primarily driven by an increase in the number of customers utilizing our services compared to the same period in the prior year.
Gross loss and cost of revenues. Gross loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 was 46% of net revenues, or $334,804 as compared to 181% of net revenues, or $683,814, for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in gross loss in absolute dollars is primarily due to increase in net revenues. Cost of revenues for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 was 146% of net revenues, or $1,066,853, as compared to 281% of net revenues, or $1,062,532, for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. 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 $4,003,544 for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $4,933,102 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The $929,558 decrease reflects the decrease in headcount, in particular a temporary decrease in the sales and marketing department due to the replacement of certain sales representatives, and resignation of our Chief Executive Officer in April 2012. Offsetting this decrease is a severance payment of approximately $180,000 paid to the former Chief Executive Officer in April 2012.

Research and development expenses. Research and development expenses were $305,031 for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $346,637 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. Our research and development efforts are focused on continually improving the features of the Cryoport Express® System including the Companys cloud-based logistics management platform, the Cryoportal and the Cryoport Express® Dry Shippers. The decrease in research and development is primarily due to a reduced level of development efforts related to the Cryoportal as customer requests for additional functionality have decreased.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $48,255 for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $320,042 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. Interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 included accrued interest on our related party notes payable of approximately $32,000, amortization of the debt discount of approximately $9,000 and interest expense on our convertible debentures of approximately $3,000. Interest expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2011 included accrued interest on our related party notes payable of approximately $37,000, amortization of the debt discount of approximately $171,000 and interest expense on our convertible debentures of approximately $110,000.
Interest income. Interest income was $0 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2012 as compared to $12,513 for the nine month period ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to decrease in average cash balance of interest bearing accounts during the current year.
Change in fair value of derivative liabilities. The gain on the change in fair value of derivative liabilities was $27,712 for the nine months ended December 31, 2012, compared to a gain of $109,153 for the nine months ended December 31, 2011. The gain for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 was the result of a decrease in the value of our warrant derivatives, due primarily to a decrease in our stock price from March 31, 2012.
Net loss. As a result of the factors described above, net loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2012 decreased by $1,498,007 to $4,665,522 or $0.12 per share compared to a net loss of $6,163,529 or $0.22 per share for the nine months ended December 31, 2011.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of December 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $585,107 and negative working capital of $53,445. As of March 31, 2012, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $4,617,535 and working capital of $4,024,120. Historically, we have financed our operations primarily through sales of our debt and equity securities. From March 2005 through December 31, 2012, we have received net proceeds of approximately $32.8 million from sales of our common stock and the issuance of promissory notes, warrants and debt.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2012, we used $3,678,188 of cash for operations primarily as a result of the net loss of $4,665,522 including non-cash expenses of $783,593 mainly from the fair value of stock options and warrants, depreciation and change in fair value of derivative instruments. Net operating losses decreased as a result of a decrease in headcount. Offsetting the cash impact of our net operating loss (excluding non-cash items) was an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $301,425. Net cash used in operating activities also included $97,684 for other working capital uses.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $71,165 during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, and was attributable to the purchase of property and equipment.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $283,075 during the nine months ended December 31, 2012, and resulted primarily from payment of financing costs of $128,275, repayment of related party notes of $72,000 and repayment of convertible debt of $82,800.
As discussed in Note 1 of the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, there exists substantial doubt regarding the Companys ability to continue as a going concern. The Company completed a private placement in March of 2012. The funds raised are being used for working capital purposes and to continue our sales efforts to advance the Companys commercialization of the Cryoport Express® Solution. Management has estimated that cash on hand as of December 31, 2012 and forecasted sales will be sufficient to allow the Company to continue its operations into the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2013. As discussed in Note 9 of the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, during the fourth quarter of 2013, the company issued unsecured convertible promissory notes in principal amount of $698,000. However, the Companys management recognizes that the Company will need to obtain additional capital to fund its operations thereafter and until sustained profitable operations are achieved. Management is currently working on such funding alternatives in order to secure sufficient operating capital. In addition, management will continue to review its operations for further cost reductions to extend the time that the Company can operate with its current cash on hand and to utilize third parties for services such as its international recycling and refurbishment centers to provide for greater flexibility in aligning operational expenses with the changes in sales volumes.
Additional funding plans may include obtaining additional capital through equity and/or debt funding sources; however, no assurance can be given that additional capital, if needed, will be available when required or upon terms acceptable to the Company.

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.
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, 2012, 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, 2012, 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 Commissions rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, 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 Principal 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 Principal Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2012.
Changes in internal control over financial reporting.
There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2012 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
