When the words "believes," "plans," "anticipates", "will likely result," "will continue," "projects," "expects," and similar expressions are used in this Form 10-K, they are intended to identify "forward-looking statements," and such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Furthermore, the Company’s plans, strategies, objectives, expectations and intentions are subject to change at any time at the discretion of management and the Board of Directors.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date this report is filed. The Company does not intend to update the forward-looking statements contained in this report, so as to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may occur as part of its ongoing periodic reports filed with the SEC.

GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS

Informatix Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1998. In 1999, an unrelated Arkansas corporation, Autologous Wound Therapy, Inc. ("AWT"), merged with and into Informatix Holdings, Inc. and the name of the surviving corporation was changed to Autologous Wound Therapy, Inc. In 2000, AWT changed its name to Cytomedix, Inc. The principal offices are located in Rockville, Maryland.

In 2001, the Company filed bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, after which Cytomedix was authorized to continue to conduct its business as debtor and debtor-in-possession. A new board of directors was elected which then appointed a new management team. New management immediately began formulating a plan of reorganization that would enable the Company to reorganize and emerge quickly from Chapter 11 in order to preserve its value as a going concern. The Company emerged from bankruptcy in 2002 under a Plan of Reorganization. At that time, all of the Company’s securities or other claims against or equity interest in the Company were canceled and of no further force or effect. Holders of certain claims or securities were entitled to receive new securities from Cytomedix in exchange for their claims or equity interests prior to bankruptcy. All known and allowed claims and equity interests have been satisfied and resolved as of the filing of this form 10-K.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION ABOUT SEGMENTS AND GEOGRAPHIC REGIONS

Cytomedix has only one operating segment and operates only in the United States. See Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Overview

Cytomedix is a biotechnology company that develops and licenses autologous cellular therapies (i.e., therapies using the patient’s own body products), including Cytomedix’s proprietary AutoloGel™ Process to produce a platelet rich plasma gel (“AutoloGel™”) for the treatment of wounds. To create AutoloGel™, the patient’s own platelets and plasma are separated through centrifugation and combined with several reagents. This process releases multiple growth factors from the platelets, creates a fibrin matrix scaffold, and forms a gel that is topically applied to a wound (under the direction of a physician). Upon topical application, the Company believes that AutoloGel™ initiates a reaction that closely mimics the body’s natural healing process.

Company-sponsored studies indicate increased healing for AutoloGel^TM as compared to enhanced traditional treatments as well as competing treatments for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, the Company’s initial focus within its target market.

Multiple growth factor therapies have not been widely used in the traditional commercial setting because such therapies have generally not been available or widely known by clinicians. Until a few years ago, the autologous process of securing multiple growth factors from a patient’s blood products was, substantially, an exclusive treatment available through outpatient wound care centers affiliated with Curative Health Services (“Curative”). In January 2001, the Company purchased certain technology, assets and intellectual property rights associated with autologous multiple growth factor therapies from Curative and has since refined the product to a more marketable state.

Market

Cytomedix’s primary target market is the multi-billion dollar, chronic, non-healing wound market. Such wounds typically arise from one of three etiologies: diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and pressure ulcers. The following table lists the prevalence of these wound types:

Incidence of Chronic Wounds in the U.S.

(number of wounds in millions)

			U.S.

	Diabetic Foot Ulcers		1.5
	Venous Leg Ulcers		2.5
	Pressure Ulcers		2.0
	Totals		6.0

The prevalence of chronic wounds in the U.S. is linked directly to increased aging demographics, vascular diseases, venous insufficiency, and excessive pressure and diabetic neuropathy. The prevalence of worldwide chronic wounds is estimated to be 18 million (6).

Diabetic Foot Ulcers

According to the American Diabetes Association (“ADA”)(1), there are approximately 20.8 million people with diabetes in the U.S., or 7% of the total population. It is estimated that 15-20% of these people with diabetes will develop a foot ulcer in their lifetime and that 14-24% of diabetic foot ulcers result in amputation.(2) Over 82,000 amputations per year have been documented.(3) Estimated amputation costs are between $20,000 and $60,000 per procedure (4), implying an aggregate cost of between $1.6 billion and $4.9 billion per year. The chances of a second amputation within 3-5 years may be as high as 50%, with a 5 year post-amputation mortality rate of 39-68%.(5)

Venous Stasis Leg Ulcers

Venous leg ulcers are the most frequently occurring type of chronic wound. The prevalence rises dramatically with age, increasing to 1% of the population over age 60. It is estimated that treatment costs total between $2.5 to $3.5 billion annually and a loss of 2 million workdays per year. (4)

Pressure Ulcers

Over 2.0 million pressure ulcers occur each year with an annual cost greater than $1.3 billion. One study indicates that nearly 15% of hospitalized patients age 65 or older developed a pressure ulcer during a 5-day or longer stay. Furthermore, up to one-fifth of all home health service visits involve care of a pressure ulcer, and more than one-third of people with spinal cord injuries develop pressure ulcers. (4)

Strategy

The Company has developed a three-pronged strategy to leverage its intellectual property and capitalize on the market for its AutoloGel™:

Obtain broad reimbursement from third-party payers

Enforce rights under the Company’s patents

Target the non-reimbursement sensitive market

In order to increase the prospects for securing broad reimbursement as well as enhance the sales and marketing efforts, the Company completed a well-controlled, prospective clinical trial and submitted a 510(k) Premarket Notification to the FDA.

Clinical Trial and FDA Clearance

In 2005, the Company completed its prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled, multi-center clinical trial designed to prove the efficacy and safety of its AutoloGel™ System (see discussion in this section under “Government Approval”) for the treatment of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers. The audited results yielded 40 patients who met the trial protocol. Analysis of the size of wounds in the study shows that 35 out of the 40 patients (88%) had wounds that were less than or equal to 7 square centimeters in area and 2 cubic centimeters in volume. For these most common wound sizes in the study, the healing rate of the AutoloGel™ group was 81.3% and that for the control group was 42.1%. The difference of 39.2% between these groups is clearly statistically significant, with a p-value of 0.036. Within the full cohort of the 40 patients, 68.4% of the patients treated with AutoloGel™ achieved full wound closure versus 42.9% of those patients treated in the control group. The difference of 25.5% between the healing rate of the AutoloGel™ group versus the control group is approaching statistical significance with a p-value of 0.125. The Company believes that the healing rates of AutoloGel™ at 81.3% for the most common wound sizes in the study and 68.4% for all wound sizes appear to be better than any other wound care products cleared by the FDA and covered by Medicare reimbursement with which the Company is familiar, although this comparison is not as reliable as a head-to-head study. The control group patients were not on placebo; rather, they were treated using a saline gel cleared by the FDA for wound treatment. If the control group patients healed at the originally anticipated rate of 20-30% for standard treatments for diabetic foot ulcers, the difference between the healing rates in the AutoloGel™ group versus the control group would have been even more strongly statistically significant.

These data reflect the results following an independent audit of the data by a former FDA official responsible for Bio-Research Monitoring. During the audit, Cytomedix discovered that some patients originally included in the trial had not met the inclusion criteria or were not provided treatment according to the study protocol. This audit was conducted at the request of Cytomedix when preliminary data were inconsistent with independent and Company retrospective studies.

Based on the audited results of the trial, and other data compiled by the Company, in late January 2006 Cytomedix submitted a Premarket Notification (“510(k)”) to the FDA seeking clearance of its AutoloGel™ System for diabetic foot ulcers and other indications. While AutoloGel™ is regulated by FDA under the Medical Device Amendments of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, the FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (“CBER”) has the jurisdiction for reviewing such products. FDA assigned CBER as the primary center that reviewed and approved the Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”) under which this clinical trial was conducted. On October 13, 2006, the FDA denied Cytomedix’s claim that AutoloGel™ is substantially equivalent to predicate devices, as asserted in the 510(k), and delivered to Cytomedix a Non-Substantial Equivalence (“NSE”) determination letter.

Based on the information contained in the NSE determination letter and conversations with the FDA, the Company believes that the primary grounds for rejecting the claim of substantial equivalence concern the use of bovine thrombin which is used to activate the platelet rich plasma (“PRP”) in the AutoloGel™ System. Bovine thrombin is a clotting agent derived from cows that has been used extensively on humans in surgery and other medical applications to stop bleeding. It is also used along with platelet gel therapy products that have been cleared by FDA for use in surgery. However, CBER cites published articles that contend that bovine thrombin creates antibodies that may decrease a patient’s Factor V count (a clotting agent naturally found within blood) which could cause a bleeding tendency. The analysis and clinical interpretation of the data in Cytomedix’s submission to the FDA had concluded that the data from the clinical trial does not demonstrate this complication. No statistically or clinically significant differences were noted between the PRP gel and control from baseline to endpoint laboratory shifts in hematology, clotting factors, and Factor V tests. Additionally, no clinically important changes in clotting factors that would cause concern about the effect of the PRP gel or control on Factor V activity were found during an independent medical expert review of the medical records, including clinical lab test data and concomitant medications.

FDA also raised concerns relating to the clinical trial and the number of protocol violations which resulted in a lack of statistical significance in the results of the “intent-to-treat” patient cohort and the subset analysis that showed full statistical significance in the results for 88% of the wounds which represented the per protocol majority wound group within the trial. The Company believed that, during face-to-face meetings with the FDA and in subsequent formal responses to FDA questions, it had addressed these concerns to the FDA’s satisfaction, although they were still listed in the NSE letter from the FDA.

The Company disagrees with the decision as expressed in the NSE determination letter and, in response to an offer made by the FDA, appealed the decision via an informal review with officials in the Office of the Center Director for CBER. The written appeal was submitted to the FDA in late December 2006 and then a face-to-face meeting was held in late January 2007 between Cytomedix, its outside experts, and various FDA personnel involved in the review process. Cytomedix presented additional expert analysis of the safety data gathered during the clinical trial, in particular that data relating to the use of bovine thrombin. In addition, Cytomedix clarified the grounds on which it is seeking marketing clearance for AutoloGel and argued the appropriateness of a reversal of the FDA’s original decision. A decision from the FDA regarding the Company’s appeal is pending.

The Company currently sells commercially AutoloGel™ process components, the AutoloGel™ Component Kit and Process Centrifuge for use in wound care and autologous wound therapy performed under the physicians’ practice of medicine doctrine. This approach represents the practice currently prevalent in the platelet gel therapy industry, both in the treatment of chronic wounds as well as the use of platelet gel therapies in the operating room in fields such as orthopedic and cardiovascular surgery. However, without FDA clearance, the Company’s ability to make claims for the AutoloGel™ System regarding its use to treat or heal wounds is limited. The Company believes this is a significant barrier to broad clinical and market acceptance of the Company’s product. It is also possible that at some point the FDA may require companies to conduct clinical trials on all specific clinical therapies and uses for which their products can be used, whether or not they make a specific labeled claim to that effect. Further, it is also possible that FDA could require companies to stop marketing platelet gel therapies until FDA clearance or approval for specific wound healing claims is obtained.

Third-Party Reimbursement

The Company believes the full market potential of AutoloGel™ cannot be achieved without broad third-party reimbursement from Medicare and commercial insurers. The Company has initiated efforts to obtain Medicare reimbursement through the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”). This process involves three tracks which can be pursued simultaneously:

Coverage - Coverage requires a determination by CMS that AutoloGel™ is “reasonable and necessary.” A National Non-Coverage Decision, issued in 1992 and amended in 2003, broadly disallows Medicare coverage for Autologous Blood-Derived Products for Chronic Non-Healing Wounds. This decision currently applies to AutoloGel™. The primary basis cited for this non-coverage decision was a lack of specific evidence. The Company is planning to meet with CMS to discuss a reconsideration of that decision based on data from the controlled clinical trial and other recent evidence.

Coding - Coding involves identifying an existing code or codes which aptly describe the AutoloGel™ System, or applying for new coding or modification of the definitions of existing coding to properly describe the Company’s offering. The Company is evaluating the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (“HCPCS”) codes, obtained through CMS and Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) codes, obtained through the American Medical Association, to determine the optimal reimbursement pathway for AutoloGel™.

§	Payment - Payment involves the establishment of a fee schedule associated with the Company’s product vis a vis the applicable codes.

The Company has had the results of its clinical trial published in a peer-reviewed journal. The article, entitled “A Prospective, Randomized, Controlled Trial of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma Gel for the Treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers,” was published, as the feature article in the June 2006 issue of Ostomy/Wound Management (“OWM”). OWM is the premiere journal for information on wound care and the related, overlapping fields of skin care, ostomy care, incontinence care, and nutrition, and is the only peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary publication specifically targeted to the advanced wound care practitioner. The Company believes that publication in peer-reviewed journals is generally regarded as a necessary precursor to a favorable reimbursement decision from CMS and also is an important step toward building broad clinical awareness and acceptance of AutoloGel™. The Company plans to present the results of its clinical trial and other recent evidence as support for its reimbursement pursuits with CMS. Additionally, Cytomedix requisitioned a pharmaco-economic study to evaluate the cost effectiveness of the AutoloGel™ System. Such studies are performed to present scientific, demographic and economic information to justify to CMS and other payor organizations that a particular product and therapy is clinically safe and effective and cost effective with respect to its alternatives. Preliminary results of the pharmaco-economic study suggest a favorable comparison of AutoloGel™ over competing treatments in both clinical and cost effectiveness. The final report should be available sometime in the first quarter of 2007 and would also be provided to CMS.

While not an official precondition for a reimbursement code, the Company believes that securing Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) clearance of the AutoloGel™ System for specific clinical indications, such as for the treatment of non-healing diabetic foot ulcers, will be heavily weighed by CMS when making its decision. Should the Company’s appeal to the FDA ultimately prove unsuccessful, the Company would need to analyze the ultimate nature of the FDA’s determination and the potential impact on the efforts to secure CMS reimbursement for the AutoloGel™ System and components.

While commercial insurers are not required to follow CMS reimbursement decisions, the Company believes they generally weigh heavily the position taken by CMS. Therefore, the results of the Company’s efforts with CMS could likely influence the degree of success the Company achieves in securing reimbursement from other third-party payers such as commercial insurers.

Should the Company be successful in its efforts to obtain reimbursement, third-party payors, including CMS, would permit payment for the AutoloGel™ System for use in certain types of chronic wounds. If this is accomplished, AutoloGel™ could then be positioned as a reimbursed alternative treatment for the estimated 6.0 million chronic wounds that occur each year in the United States.

In general, to raise the scientific awareness of the use of AutoloGel™, posters and oral presentations of the clinical trial results have been presented at multiple scientific/medical meetings including: American Diabetes Association, American Podiatric Medical Association, and the Clinical Symposium on Advances in Skin and Wound Care.

Patents and Licensing

The Company has initiated a broad based patent and licensing strategy intended to (i) enforce the rights under the Company’s patents in order to ensure that Cytomedix shareholders derive economic benefit from the Company’s intellectual property, and (ii) assist the Company in establishing a dominant market position for the AutoloGel™ System within the market for autologous growth factor products used for the treatment of chronic wounds. In 2005 and 2006, the Company identified and successfully pursued numerous companies, both small and large, that market products similar to AutoloGel™, that the Company believed were infringing or inducing infringement of its intellectual property rights. Settlements have been achieved and licenses have been granted to these companies resulting in a royalty stream for Cytomedix.

(1) Cytomedix has two license agreements with DePuy Spine, Inc.. The original license agreement was dated March 19, 2001, amended March 3, 2005, and provides for the use of applications under Cytomedix patents in the fields of diagnostic and therapeutic spinal, neurosurgery and orthopedic surgery. The second license agreement is dated March 4, 2005, and applies to all fields not covered in the original license agreement as amended.

(2) Certain minimum royalties may apply to certain agreements and other royalty percentages may apply to future products covered under selected license agreements.

(3) Some of these amounts are payable over a period of time as defined in executed notes payable to Cytomedix.

(4) These dates reflect the expiration of the license in the U.S., which coincides with the expiration of the Knighton Patent in the U.S. In some cases, the licensing agreements applicable to territories outside the U.S. extend to the expiration of the patents in the respective foreign countries.

(5) The Settlement and License Agreement with Biomet Biologics, Inc. (“Biomet”) called for a $2.6 million payout from Biomet to Cytomedix. This payout took the form of $1.4 million payable upon execution of the agreement and $100,000 payable at the end of each of 12 consecutive quarters beginning with the quarter ending September 2006. These payments are not tied to any performance commitments by Cytomedix and are not dependent on Biomet sales.

The Company’s ongoing patent enforcement strategy is being conducted on a full contingency basis by the law firms Fitch, Even, Tabin & Flannery and Robert F. Coleman and Associates, both based in Chicago, Illinois.

The Company expects to incur “Cost of royalties” (consisting of royalty expense and contingent legal fees) in the range of 30-50% of on-going royalty revenues relating to these and future settlements.

The Company intends to press forward aggressively in other instances of infringement with aggressive legal and business actions to defend its intellectual property and, where possible, arrive at equitable settlements with infringers.

Non-Reimbursement Sensitive Market

The Company is also working to penetrate the segment of the national market that is not sensitive to direct reimbursement for the Company’s product. This includes capitated environments such as long-term acute care facilities, health maintenance organizations, home health agencies, as well as government agencies, (e.g. the Veterans Administration).

The Company is addressing various parts of this market via distributors, independent sales representatives, and internal sales representatives.

Sales and Marketing

Given the Company’s status with respect to marketing clearance for its AutoloGel™ System, Cytomedix continues to maintain a limited sales and marketing infrastructure for the AutoloGel™ Component Kit and Process Centrifuge. The Company predominately distributes its products through a network of commission-based internal and independent sales representatives. At December 31, 2006, the Company was represented by three internal and one independent sales representative, servicing approximately a dozen states. The Company expects to expand this representation in 2007.

Suppliers

The Company outsources manufacturing for all the components of the AutoloGel^TM process. While the Company utilizes single suppliers for several components of AutoloGel^TM, such components are readily available on the open market and therefore the Company believes that no dependencies exist from its current sourcing practices. The one exception is a reagent, bovine thrombin, available exclusively through King Pharmaceuticals.

Competition

Wound care products can be categorized into 3 general areas: passive, interactive, and active.

·	Passive products -- such as gauze and bandages, cover the wound to protect it.

Interactive products -- attempt to optimize the wound environment so it is more conducive for the body to enact the innate healing process. The wound care world recognizes that moist wound healing is more effective for cellular growth than dry wound healing, however excessive moisture can be detrimental to healing. In addition, wounds need to be free of infection, have adequate perfusion and tissue oxygenation, and reduced pressure. There are hundreds of wound dressings on the market, some provide a long-term moist wound environment, others absorb large amounts of exudates, and some provide topical antimicrobial agents. In addition, there are multiple devices that attempt to assist with creating the optimal wound environment. However, as a whole, none of them are positioned to actively direct cellular growth.

Active wound products -- directly stimulate cellular growth and migration in the wound area. Growth factor products, such as AutoloGel™, are a predominant product in this category. Science has documented that multiple growth factors cause cellular growth and migration to actively grow granulation tissue, capillaries, and epithelium. Tissue engineered grafts could also fall into this category because they contain live cells and secondarily, may have some growth factors in the tissue.

Thus, when identifying competitors, each product can be categorized in the above breakdown. Passive products are not a competitor for AutoloGel™. While some of the interactive products can be competitors, others can be complimentary to AutoloGel™. The other active products could be categorized as the major competitors.

The major competitors are other platelet gel companies, many of whom have licensing agreements with Cytomedix. To date, these companies are selling platelet gel mostly into the surgical market for dental, plastic, orthopedic, and general surgery purposes but may also try to sell into the wound care market. When compared to the other platelet gel companies, Cytomedix’s AutoloGel™ System has the smallest, most portable centrifuge with the fastest spin time (1.5 minutes compared to 13-20 minutes). This makes it possible to use in a greater variety of health care settings, i.e. hospital, outpatient clinics, physicians offices, or long term care, long term acute care, and home health settings. In addition, it is a user-friendly system so multiple health care providers can process the gel, rather than specialty technicians. Competitors’ systems generally require a larger blood draw, more detailed processing steps, and a longer spin time. While competitors claim a larger growth factor and platelet count than at baseline, no studies exist that prove this is efficacious. To date, Cytomedix’s AutoloGel™ System is the only platelet gel system that has completed a prospective, randomized, controlled trial in humans. The Company believes this trial demonstrated both the safety and efficacy of the AutoloGel™ System.

Regranex, a prescription cream marketed by Ethicon, a division of Johnson & Johnson, Inc. ("J&J"), contains a single recombinant growth factor. Having been introduced after lengthy clinical trials several years ago, its revenues, based on the Company’s best estimate, have grown significantly. Cytomedix perceives the single growth factor Regranex as a less effective method of healing chronic wounds in comparison with autologous multiple growth factors. While Cytomedix acknowledges the success of the Regranex product in the marketplace, an excellent opportunity exists to capture market share from this product once reimbursement is available for AutoloGel™. A recent CMS (Medicare) decision disallowed coverage for Regranex because it is self-administered.

The tissue-engineered products have changed extensively lately. Smith and Nephew, the manufacturer of Dermagraft, has taken the product off the market recently and has subsequently sold the technology to Advanced BioHealing. Ortec International, Inc.is continuing to conduct clinical trials on its product Orcel. Apligraf, manufactured by Organogenesis, is the only tissue engineered product on the market at this time.

The major competitor in the interactive area is a device called Vacuum Assisted Closure (“V.A.C.”) system produced by Kinetic Concepts, Inc. (“KCI”). During the year ended December 31, 2005, KCI worldwide revenues due to V.A.C. sales and rentals were reported as $908 million. Several of the sites that have used the V.A.C. system have now tried AutoloGel™. It has been reported to the Company by several of these sites that AutoloGel™ was very competitive with the V.A.C. and may even be better in both clinical and cost effectiveness. This, however, was based on individual case reports and experience of physicians rather than any rigorous comparative studies. Yet the V.A.C's established position is substantially CMS reimbursed, which provides for a substantial current economic competitive advantage.

Intellectual Property Rights

Cytomedix regards its patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Assets”) as critical to its success. Cytomedix relies on a combination of patents, trademarks, and trade secret and copyright laws, as well as confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions, and other similar measures, to establish and protect its Intellectual Property Assets. Cytomedix has in the past several years filed numerous patent applications worldwide seeking protection of its technologies. Cytomedix owns eight U.S. patents (including U.S. Patent No. 5,165,938 (the “Knighton Patent”) and U.S. Patent No. 6,303,112 (the “Worden Patent”)), various corresponding foreign patents, and various trademarks. Cytomedix has received, filed, or is in the process of filing trademarks for the names “Cytomedix,” “AutoloGel”, and a few variants thereof. In addition, Cytomedix has numerous pending trademark applications and foreign patent applications involving enriched platelet wound healant, platelet derived wound healant, angiogenic peptides, and anti-inflammatory peptides.

To prevent disclosure of its trade secrets, Cytomedix restricts access to its proprietary information. All of its employees, consultants, and other persons with access to Cytomedix's proprietary information execute confidentiality agreements with Cytomedix. Cytomedix has also pursued litigation against those persons believed to be infringing on the Company's Intellectual Property Assets seeking both damages and injunctive relief.

Despite these efforts, Cytomedix may not be able to prevent misappropriation of its technology or deter others from developing similar technology in the future. Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of its Intellectual Property Assets is difficult. Litigation necessary to enforce Cytomedix's Intellectual Property Assets could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources.

The Company is party to certain royalty agreements relating to its intellectual property under which it pays certain fees. See Note 5 to the Financial Statements.

Government Regulation

Devices that the Company manufactures and distributes are subject to regulations by the Food and Drug Administration, including record-keeping requirements, good manufacturing practices and mandatory reporting of certain adverse experiences resulting from use of the devices, and certain state agencies. Labeling and promotional activities are also subject to regulation by the FDA and the Federal Trade Commission, in certain circumstances. Current FDA enforcement policy prohibits the marketing of approved medical devices for unapproved uses and the agency scrutinizes the labeling and advertising of medical devices to ensure that unapproved uses are not promoted.

Before a new medical device can be introduced to the market, the manufacturer must generally obtain FDA clearance or approval. In the United States, medical devices are classified into one of three classes - Class I, II or III. The controls applied by the FDA to the different classifications are those believed by the FDA to be necessary to provide reasonable assurance that the device is safe and effective. Class I devices are non-critical products that FDA believes can be adequately regulated by “general controls” that include provisions relating to labeling, manufacturer registration, defect notification, records and reports, and good manufacturing practices (“GMP”) based on the FDA’s Quality Systems Regulations. Most Class I devices are exempt from pre-market notification and some are also exempt from GMP requirements. Class II devices are products for which the general controls of Class I devices, by themselves, are not sufficient to assure safety and effectiveness and, therefore, require special controls. Additional special controls for Class II devices include performance standards, post-market surveillance patient registries, and the use of FDA guidelines. Standards may include both design and performance requirements. Class III devices have the most restrictive controls and require pre-market approval by the FDA. Generally, Class III devices are limited to life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices. The FDA inspects medical device manufacturers and has a broad authority to order recalls of medical devices, to seize non-complying medical devices, and to criminally prosecute violators.

Section 510(k) of the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act requires individuals or companies manufacturing most medical devices intended for human use to file a notice with the FDA at least ninety days before intending to introduce the device into the market. This notice, commonly referred to as a 510(k), must identify the type of classified device into which the product falls, the class of that type, and a specific product already being marketed or cleared by FDA and to which the product is “substantially equivalent.” In some instances, the 510(k) must include data from human clinical studies in order to establish “substantial equivalence.” The FDA must agree with the claim of “substantial equivalence” before the device can be marketed. The statutory time frame for clearance of a 510(k) is 90 days, though it often takes longer.

If a product is Class III and does not qualify for the 510(k) process, then the FDA must approve a pre-market approval (“PMA”) application before marketing can begin. PMA applications must demonstrate, among other factors, that the device in question is safe and effective. Obtaining a PMA application approval can sometimes take several years, depending upon the complexity of the issues involved with the device. The statutory time frame for the review of a PMA by the FDA is 180 days and many devices are reviewed and approved within that time frame or within a few months afterward. Marketing approval based on a PMA is generally a longer process than the 510(k) clearance process that is typically obtained in comparatively less time.

Government Approval

Cytomedix has sought to ensure compliance with the FDA regulations and policies for medical devices and, specifically, platelet gel therapies.

The Company currently markets the AutoloGel™ Process Centrifuge,the AutoloGel™ Component Kit, and certain commercially available reagents (i.e. calcium chloride, ascorbic acid, and bovine thrombin). Each component is a legally-marketed product that either has been cleared by FDA for marketing or is exempt from pre-market notification and clearance. The AutoloGel™ Centrifuge, when used with the AutoloGel™ Component Kit and certain reagents, form the basis for the AutoloGel process and are used for wound care and for treating chronic wound, including diabetic ulcers, at the physician’s discretion. The Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act does not authorize the FDA to limit or interfere with the “physician's practice of medicine” and use of legally-marketed devices for any condition or disease within a legitimate doctor-patient relationship as long as no specific claims are made for the product.

In 2003, the Company conceptualized marketing an AutoloGel™ System, consisting of a centrifuge, a component kit, and reagents, for specific indications such as diabetic, pressure, and venous ulcers.

During 2003, the Company made a business decision to undertake a prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled trial for the AutoloGel™ System. The objective of the trial was to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the AutoloGel™ System for treating diabetic foot ulcers to the scientific and reimbursement community, as well as to the FDA in order to obtain the agency’s marketing clearance of the AutoloGel™ System. In making this decision, the Company subjected itself to increased FDA oversight and its regulations governing the investigational use of medical devices, codified at 21 C.F.R. Part 812. To this end, the Company submitted an “Investigational Device Exemption” (“IDE”) application to the FDA under these rules and obtained approval on March 5, 2004, thus allowing the Company to begin its clinical trial.

Once the study was completed and clinical results analyzed, the Company submitted a 510(k) requesting FDA’s clearance of the AutoloGel™ System in January 2006, as discussed above, under the caption Clinical Trial and FDA Clearance.

Fraud and Abuse Laws

The Company may also be indirectly subject to federal and state physician self referral laws. Federal physician self-referral legislation (commonly known as the “Stark Law”) prohibits, subject to certain exceptions, physician referrals of Medicare and Medicaid patients to an entity providing certain “designated health services” if the physician or an immediate family member has any financial relationship with the entity. A person who engages in a scheme to circumvent the Stark Law's referral prohibition may be fined up to $100,000 for each such arrangement or scheme. The penalties for violating the Stark Law also include civil monetary penalties of up to $15,000 per referral and possible exclusion from federal health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid. The Stark Law also prohibits the entity receiving the referral from billing any good or service furnished pursuant to an unlawful referral, and any person collecting any amounts in connection with an unlawful referral is obligated to refund such amounts. Various states have corollary laws to the Stark Law, including laws that require physicians to disclose any financial interest they may have with a health care provider to their patients when referring patients to that provider. Both the scope and exception for such laws vary from state to state.

The Company may also be subject to federal and state anti-kickback laws. Section 1128B (b) of the Social Security Act, commonly referred to as the Anti-Kickback Law, prohibits persons from knowingly and willfully soliciting, receiving, offering or providing remuneration, directly or indirectly, to induce either the referral of an individual, or the furnishing, recommending, or arranging for a good or service, for which payment may be made under a federal health care program such as Medicare and Medicaid. The Anti-Kickback Law is broad, and it prohibits many arrangements and practices that are otherwise lawful in businesses outside of the health care industry. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (“DHHS”) has issued regulations, commonly known as safe harbors that set forth certain provisions which, if fully met, will assure health care providers and other parties that they will not be prosecuted under the federal Anti-Kickback Law. Although full compliance with these provisions ensures against prosecution under the Anti-Kickback Law, the failure of a transaction or arrangement to fit within a specific safe harbor does not necessarily mean that the transaction or arrangement is illegal or that prosecution under the federal Anti-Kickback Law will be pursued. The penalties for violating the Anti-Kickback Law include imprisonment for up to five years, fines of up to $250,000 per violation for individuals and up to $500,000 per violation for companies and possible exclusion from federal health care programs. Many states have adopted laws similar to the federal Anti-Kickback Law, and some of these state prohibitions apply to patients for health care services reimbursed by any source, not only federal health care programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.

In addition, there are two other health care fraud laws to which the Company may be subject, one which prohibits knowingly and willfully executing or attempting to execute a scheme or artifice to defraud any health care benefit program, including private payers (“fraud on a health benefit plan”) and one which prohibits knowingly and willfully falsifying, concealing or covering up a material fact or making any materially false, fictitious or fraudulent statement or representation in connection with the delivery of or payment for health care benefits, items or services. These laws apply to any health benefit plan, not just Medicare and Medicaid.

The Company may also be subject to other laws which prohibit submitting claims for payment or causing such claims to be submitted that are false. Violation of these false claims statutes may lead to civil money penalties, criminal fines and imprisonment, and/or exclusion from participation in Medicare, Medicaid and other federally funded state health programs. These statutes include the federal False Claims Act, which prohibits the knowing filing of a false claim (or causing the submission of a false claim) or the knowing use of false statements to obtain payment from the U.S. federal government. When an entity is determined to have violated the False Claims Act, it must pay three times the actual damages sustained by the government, plus mandatory civil penalties of between $5,500 and $11,000 for each separate false claim. Suits filed under the False Claims Act can be brought by an individual on behalf of the government (a “qui tam action”). Such individuals (known as “qui tam relators”) may share in the amounts paid by the entity to the government in fines or settlement. In addition certain states have enacted laws modeled after the False Claims Act. “Qui tam” actions have increased significantly in recent years causing greater numbers of health care companies to have to defend false claim actions, pay fines or be excluded from the Medicare, Medicaid or other federal or state health care programs as a result of an investigation arising out of such action.

Several states also have referral, fee splitting and other similar laws that may restrict the payment or receipt of remuneration in connection with the purchase or rental of medical equipment and supplies. State laws vary in scope and have been infrequently interpreted by courts and regulatory agencies, but may apply to all health care products and services, regardless of whether Medicaid or Medicare funds are involved.

Research and Development

The Company is currently focusing its limited resources on broadly commercializing AutoloGel^TM. It therefore expends only very minor amounts on research and development activities (“R&D”). The Company currently focuses its R&D activities on the improvement of its current product offering, but, in the future, intends to develop the technology underlying its broader patent portfolio.

Employees

At December 31, 2006, the Company had twelve full-time employees. These include three executive officers, Dr. Kshitij Mohan as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Andrew S. Maslan as Chief Financial Officer and Ms. Carelyn P. Fylling as Vice President of Professional Services. The remaining personnel consist of sales and marketing, clinical, accounting, and regulatory professionals.

AVAILABLE INFORMATION

Cytomedix files periodic reports and all amendments thereto pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934. These reports are available, free of charge, through the Company’s website at www.cytomedix.com.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Cytomedix cautions the readers not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and expectations that may or may not be valid or actually occur. The risk factors that follow may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement. The risks described below are not to be deemed an exhaustive list of all potential risks.

The FDA Denied the Company’s Claims in its 510(k) Pre-Market Notification and the Company’s Appeal May Not Be Successful

The FDA denied the Company’s claims in its 510(k). The Company has appealed this decision and currently awaits a final ruling from the FDA. There is no assurance that the Company’s efforts to have the original decision reversed or amended to the Company’s satisfaction will be successful. A lack of FDA clearance may make it more difficult to obtain reimbursement codes and/or adversely affect the Company’s ability to implement a significant portion of its business plan. Specifically, the Company may be unable to obtain a significant share of the chronic wound care market. Even with FDA clearance, the Company can provide no assurance that it will be able to obtain Medicare or other third party reimbursement.

The Company Has Limited Sources of Working Capital

Because the Company was in bankruptcy in 2002, the Company will not be able to obtain debt financing. All working capital required to implement the Company’s business plan will be provided by funds obtained through offerings of its equity securities, and revenues generated by the Company. No assurance can be given that the Company will have revenues sufficient to support and sustain its operations through 2007.

If the Company does not have sufficient working capital and is unable to generate revenues or raise additional funds, the following may occur: delaying the completion of the Company’s current business plan or significantly reducing the scope of the business plan; delaying some of its development and clinical or marketing testing; delaying its plans to pursue government regulatory and reimbursement approval and/or clearance for its wound treatment technologies; postponing the hiring of new personnel; or, in an extreme situation, ceasing operations.

The Company Has a History of Losses

The Company has a history of losses, is not currently profitable, and expects to incur substantial losses and negative operating cash flows for the foreseeable future. The Company may never achieve or maintain profitability. The Company will need to generate significant revenues to achieve and maintain profitability. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to generate these revenues, and it may never achieve profitability.

The Company Has a Short Operating History and Limited Operating Experience

The Company must be evaluated in light of the uncertainties and complexities affecting an early stage biotechnology company. The Company has only recently begun to implement its current business plan. Thus, the Company has a very limited operating history. Continued operating losses, together with the risks associated with the Company’s ability to gain new customers for its product offerings may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity. The Company may also be forced to respond to unforeseen difficulties, such as decreasing demand for its products and services, regulatory requirements and unanticipated market pressures.

Since emerging from bankruptcy and continuing through today, the Company is developing a business model that includes protecting its patent position, addressing its third-party reimbursement issues, and developing a sales and marketing program. There can be no assurance that its business model in its current form can accomplish the Company’s stated goals.

The Company’s Intellectual Property Assets Are Critical to Its Success

The Company regards its patents, trademarks, trade secrets, and other intellectual property assets as critical to its success. The Company relies on a combination of patents, trademarks, and trade secret and copyright laws, as well as confidentiality procedures, contractual provisions, and other similar measures, to establish and protect its intellectual property. The Company attempts to prevent disclosure of its trade secrets by restricting access to sensitive information and requiring employees, consultants, and other persons with access to the Company’s sensitive information to sign confidentiality agreements. Despite these efforts, the Company may not be able to prevent misappropriation of its technology or deter others from developing similar technology in the future. Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of its intellectual property assets is difficult and expensive. Litigation has been necessary in the past and may likely be necessary in the future in order to protect the Company’s intellectual property assets. Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be successful in any litigation matter relating to its intellectual property assets. Continuing litigation or other challenges could result in one or more of its patents being declared invalid. In such a case, any royalty revenues from the affected patents would be adversely affected although the Company may still be able to continue to develop and market its products.

The Company’s patent covering the specific gel formulation that is applied as part of the AutoloGel™ System (the “Worden Patent”) expires no earlier than February 2019. The Company’s U.S. Knighton Patent (which is the subject of license agreements between the Company and Medtronic, Inc., DePuy Spine, Inc., Biomet Biologics, Inc., COBE Cardiovascular, Inc., and Harvest Technologies Corporation, among others) expires in November 2009. The Company is pursuing a strategy to obtain FDA clearance and CMS reimbursement, but there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to establish such a significantly increased share of the wound care market prior to the expiration of the U.S. Knighton Patent in 2009, after which the Company may be more vulnerable to competitive factors because third parties will not then need a license from the Company to perform the methods claimed in the Knighton Patent.

The AutoloGel™ Components are Subject to Governmental Regulation

The Company’s success is also impacted by factors outside of the Company’s control. The Company’s current therapies may be subject to extensive regulation by numerous governmental authorities in the United States, both federal and state, and in foreign countries by various regulatory agencies.

Specifically, the Company’s devices are subject to regulation by the FDA and state regulatory agencies. The FDA regulates drugs, medical devices and biologics that move in interstate commerce and requires that such products receive pre-marketing approval based on evidence of safety and efficacy. The regulations of government health ministries in foreign countries are analogous to those of the FDA in both application and scope. In addition, any change in current regulatory interpretations by, or positions of, state regulatory officials where the AutoloGel™ process is practiced could materially and adversely affect the Company’s ability to sell products in those states.

The FDA could require the Company to stop selling the components used to prepare AutoloGel™ until it obtains clearance or approval of a specific wound healing claim. While the Company believes that all of said components are legally marketed, the FDA could take the position that the Company cannot market the AutoloGel™ Component Kit or Process Centrifuge for wound healing until the Company has a specific approval or clearance to do so from the FDA.

Further, as the Company expands and offers additional products in the United States and in foreign countries, approval from the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities prior to introduction of any such products into the market may be required. The Company has no assurance that it will be able to obtain all necessary approvals from the FDA or comparable regulatory authorities in foreign countries for these products. Failure to obtain the required approvals would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s business and financial condition.

Compliance with FDA and other governmental requirements imposes significant costs and expenses. Further, the Company’s failure to comply with these requirements could result in sanctions, limitations on promotional or other business activities, or other adverse effects on the Company’s business. Further, recent efforts to control healthcare costs could negatively effect demand for the Company’s products and services.

The Company Could Be Adversely Affected if Customers Cannot Obtain Reimbursement

The AutoloGel™ Component Kit and Process Centrifuge are marketed to healthcare providers. Some of these providers, in turn, seek reimbursement from third-party payers such as Medicare, Medicaid, and other private insurers. Many foreign countries also have comprehensive government managed healthcare programs that provide reimbursement for healthcare products. Under such healthcare systems, reimbursement is often a determining factor in predicting a product’s success, with some physicians and patients strongly favoring only those products for which they will be reimbursed.

In order to achieve a viable reimbursement pathway for the AutoloGel™ process components, the Company has conducted a prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled, multi-site clinical trial as approved by the FDA to provide the necessary data as required by CMS, formerly known as the Healthcare Financing Agency. In addition, the 2003 CMS non-coverage decision for “Autologous Blood-Derived Products for the Treatment of Chronic Wounds”, which builds on the 1992 HCFA ruling may have to be dismissed or a carve-out would need to be created in order to make national coverage by Medicare possible. The Company cannot assure that its efforts in this area will be successful and therefore, a significant obstacle to broad third-party reimbursement may remain. Further, even if the Non-Coverage Decision is reversed, the Company cannot guarantee that third-party payers will elect to reimburse treatments using the Company’s products or processes or, if such reimbursement is approved, that the level of reimbursement granted will be sufficient to cover the cost of the product or process to the physician or to the patient.

Healthcare providers’ inability to obtain third-party reimbursement for the treatment could have an adverse effect on the Company’s success.

Royalty Revenues Are Unpredictable

While the Company currently has several primary licensing agreements that are expected to generate on-going royalty revenues, the Company cannot currently reasonably predict the magnitude of those revenues. Because Cytomedix’s licensing activities are recent, it is premature to predict the resulting royalty streams from these licensing agreements. Furthermore, royalty streams from these agreements are entirely dependent on the sales of its licensees and are therefore outside the control of Cytomedix. Past levels of royalty revenues from these agreements are not necessarily an indication of future activity.

The Success of the AutoloGel™ System Is Dependent on Acceptance by the Medical Community

The commercial success of the Company’s products and processes will depend upon the medical community and patients accepting the therapies as safe and effective. If the medical community and patients do not ultimately accept the therapies as safe and effective, the Company’s ability to sell the products and processes will be materially and adversely affected. While acceptance by the medical community may be fostered by broad evaluation via peer-reviewed literature, the Company may not have the resources to facilitate sufficient publication.

The Company May Be Unable to Attract and Retain Key Personnel

The future success of the Company depends on the ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled management, including sales representatives. The Company has retained a team of highly qualified officers and consultants, but the Company cannot provide assurance that it will be able to successfully integrate these officers and consultants into its operations, retain all of them, or be successful in recruiting additional personnel as needed. The Company’s inability to do so will materially and adversely affect the business prospects, operating results and financial condition.

The Company’s ability to maintain and provide additional services to its existing customers depends upon its ability to hire and retain business development and scientific and technical personnel with the skills necessary to keep pace with continuing changes in cellular therapy technologies. Competition for such personnel is intense; the Company competes with pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare companies. The Company’s inability to hire additional qualified personnel may lead to higher recruiting, relocation and compensation costs for such personnel. These increased costs may reduce the Company’s profit margins or make hiring new personnel impractical.

Legislative and Administrative Action May Have an Adverse Effect on the Company

Political, economic and regulatory influences are subjecting the health care industry in the United States to fundamental change. The Company cannot predict what other legislation relating to its business or to the health care industry may be enacted, including legislation relating to third-party reimbursement, or what effect such legislation may have on the Company’s business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. The Company expects federal and state legislators to continue to review and assess alternative health care delivery and payment systems and possibly adopt legislation affecting fundamental changes in the health care delivery system. Such laws may contain provisions that may change the operating environment for its targeted customers including hospitals and managed care organizations.

Health care industry participants may react to such legislation by curtailing or deferring expenditures and initiatives, including those relating to the Company’s products. Future legislation could result in modifications to the existing public and private health care insurance systems that would have a material adverse effect on the reimbursement policies discussed above.

The Company Could Be Affected by Malpractice Claims

Providing medical care entails an inherent risk of professional malpractice and other claims. The Company does not control or direct the practice of medicine by physicians or health care providers who use the products and does not assume responsibility for compliance with regulatory and other requirements directly applicable to physicians. The Company cannot guarantee that claims, suits or complaints relating to the use of the AutoloGel™ components and treatment administered by physicians will not be asserted against the Company in the future.

The production, marketing and sale, and use of the AutoloGel™ Component Kit and Process Centrifuge entail risks that product liability claims will be asserted against the Company. These risks cannot be eliminated, and the Company could be held liable for any damages that result from adverse reactions or infectious disease transmission. Such liability could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, prospects, operating results and financial condition.

The Company currently maintains professional and product liability insurance coverage, but the Company cannot give assurance that the coverage limits of this insurance would be adequate to protect against all potential claims. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to obtain or maintain professional and product liability insurance in the future on acceptable terms or with adequate coverage against potential liabilities.

AutoloGel™ Has Existing Competition in the Marketplace

In the market for biotechnology products, the Company faces competition from pharmaceutical companies, biopharmaceutical companies and other competitors. Other companies have developed or are developing products that may be in direct competition with the AutoloGel™ process. Biotechnology development projects are characterized by intense competition. Thus, the Company cannot assure any investor that it will be the first to the market with any newly developed products or that it will successfully be able to market these products. If the Company is not able to participate and compete in the cellular therapy market, the Company’s financial condition will be materially and adversely affected. The Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to compete effectively against such companies in the future. Many of these companies have substantially greater capital resources, larger marketing staffs and more experience in commercializing products. Recently developed technologies, or technologies that may be developed in the future, may be the basis for developments that will compete with the Company’s products.

Risks Related to the Company’s Common Stock

The average daily trading volume in Cytomedix Common stock is relatively low. As long as this condition continues, it could be difficult or impossible to sell a significant number of shares of Common stock at any particular time at the market prices prevailing immediately before such shares are offered. In addition, sales of substantial amounts of Common stock could lower the prevailing market price of the Company’s Common stock. This would limit or perhaps prevent the Company’s ability to raise capital through the sale of securities. Additionally, the Company has significant numbers of outstanding warrants and options that, if exercised and sold, could put additional downward pressure on the Common stock price.

The Company is Subject to Anti-Takeover Provisions and Laws.

Provisions in Cytomedix’s Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Restated Bylaws and applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire control of the Company without the approval of the board of directors. These provisions may make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire a majority of the Company’s outstanding voting Common stock or delay, prevent or deter a merger, acquisition, tender offer or proxy contest, which may negatively affect the Common stock price.

Purchases of the Company’s Common Stock Are Subject to the SEC's Penny Stock Rules.

Generally, any non-NASDAQ equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share is defined as a Penny Stock. Penny Stocks are subject to special rules and regulations under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These rules require additional disclosure by broker-dealers in connection with any trades involving Penny Stock. Cytomedix Common stock is currently defined as a Penny Stock, and the Company is uncertain if the market price of its common stock will ever be above $5.00 per share. As a result of its characterization as a Penny Stock, the market liquidity for the Company’s Common stock may be adversely affected by the Penny Stock rules and regulations. This could restrict an investor's ability to sell the common stock in a secondary market. The rules governing Penny Stock require the delivery, prior to any Penny Stock transaction, of a disclosure schedule explaining the Penny Stock market and the risks associated therewith, and impose various sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell Penny Stocks to persons other than established customers and accredited investors (generally defined as an investor with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual income exceeding $200,000, $300,000 together with a spouse). For these types of transactions, the broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and have received the purchaser's written consent to the transaction prior to sale. The broker-dealer also must disclose the commissions payable to the broker-dealer, current bid and offer quotations for the Penny Stock and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market-maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer's presumed control over the market. Such information must be provided to the customer orally or in writing prior to effecting the transaction and in writing before or with the customer confirmation. Monthly statements must be sent disclosing recent price information for the Penny Stock held in the account and information on the limited market in Penny Stock. The additional burdens imposed on broker-dealers may discourage them from effecting transactions in the Company’s Common stock, which could severely limit the liquidity of the Common stock and the ability of shareholders to sell the Common stock in the secondary market.

PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITES

Since June 2005, the Company’s Common stock has been listed on the American Stock Exchange under the symbol GTF.

There were approximately 658 shareholders of record of Common stock as of February 15, 2007.

Cytomedix did not pay dividends to holders of Common stock in 2006 or 2005. The Company is prohibited from declaring dividends on Common stock if any dividends are due on shares of Series A, B, or C Convertible Preferred stock. If there are no unpaid dividends on shares of Series A, B, or C Convertible Preferred stock, any decision to pay cash dividends on Common stock will depend on the Company’s ability to generate earnings, need for capital, and overall financial condition, and other factors the Board deems relevant. Cytomedix does not anticipate paying cash dividends on Common stock in the foreseeable future, but instead will retain any earnings for reinvestment in the business.

RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES

The Company issued 1,062,500 shares of Common stock during the fourth quarter of 2006. The following table lists the sources of and the proceeds from those issuances:

Source	# of Shares		Total Exercise Price

Exercise of other warrants (1)		775,000	$	775,000
Totals		1,062,500	$	1,206,250

(1)

These warrants reflect consultant warrants held by one party. Upon exercise, the Company accepted $75,000 in cash and a Negotiable Term Promissory Note and related Security Agreement (the “Note”). The Note, which was amended in February 2007, provides for the remaining exercise proceeds to be delivered to the Company in installment payments ending on April 30, 2007. The Note bears interest on the outstanding balance at 6% per year. As of February 15, 2007, the maker of the Note was current in making all required principal and interest payments and the principal balance remaining was $426,250.

The Company has used the cash proceeds from these issuances for general corporate purposes. All shares were issued in private offerings exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Management's Discussion and Analysis and other parts of this report contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. All forward-looking statements included in this report are based on information available to the Company on the date hereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any such forward-looking statements. The following should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere herein.

In 2006, Cytomedix submitted its 510(k) to, received a denial from, and prepared its appeal to the FDA for specific indications for its AutoloGel^TM System. The Company realized a 29% increase in revenues driven by increased licensing royalties. The Company also realized a 65% reduction to net loss driven by a major patent litigation settlement agreement as well as reduced equity-based compensation and clinical trial related expenses and the increased royalty revenues noted above. Following is a discussion of Cytomedix’s Results of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004. This discussion should be read together with the audited financial statements and notes thereto contained in Item 8 of this document.

COMPARATIVE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006 AND 2005

Revenues

Revenues rose $434,000 (29%) to $1,948,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2006, to the same period last year. Revenues are normally generated from two sources: the sale of disposable kits and reagents and royalties received from licensing activities. In the third quarter of 2006, the Company also recognized $117,000 in revenue related to comprehensive wound services provided for a government agency under a limited term contract. This service revenue is not expected to continue. The increase was attributable to increased royalties of $496,000 and increased sales of $117,000 related to the services mentioned above, partially offset by a $179,000 decrease in product sales. Increases in royalties were due to six new license agreements entered into during 2005. Product sales decreased primarily due to decreased sales to nursing homes, government agencies, and Medicaid customers.

Gross Profit

Gross profit rose $300,000 (47%) to $934,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2006, to the same period last year. For the same periods, gross margins rose to 48% from 42%.

The increase in gross profits is primarily attributable to the licensing agreements entered into after March 31, 2005 which carry a greater gross margin than previously existing licensing agreements.

Royalties from the licensing agreements with DePuy Spine, Inc., inclusive of the amortization of deferred revenue associated with the initial deposit of $750,000, generates a gross margin of approximately 20%. The Company expects gross margins generated from all other licensing agreements to be in the range of 50-70%.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses fell $2,986,000 (37%) to $5,093,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2006, to the same period last year. The Company relies heavily on the use of equity-based compensation to various employees, consultants and other parties that provide services to the Company. Due to the magnitude of this non-cash expense, the exhibits below highlight the impact of this equity-based compensation on the Company’s operating expenses. These exhibits present the Company’s operating expenses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), the amount of equity-based compensation expense included in the respective line items, and then the operating expenses without the equity-based compensation, which is not in accordance with GAAP (“NON-GAAP”). The following exhibit is presented as an additional tool to evaluate the Company’s operating expenditures between years:

Salaries and Wages

Salaries and wages fell $779,000 (26%) to $2,191,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2006, to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower non-cash equity-based compensation ($660,000) and fewer employees.

Consulting and Related Party Consulting Expenses

Consulting and related party consulting expenses fell $116,000 (35%) to $215,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2006, to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower non-cash equity-based compensation ($99,000) and the overall reduction in use of outside consultants.

Professional Fees

Professional fees fell $255,000 (25%) to $764,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2006, to the same period last year. Professional fees consist primarily of legal and accounting services.

The decrease was primarily due to decreases in patent litigation related expenditures ($315,000) due to the successful completion of several patent infringement actions in 2005, decreases in fees to securities and general counsel attorneys ($90,000) due primarily to reduced current period activity related to the Company’s listing on the American Stock Exchange, and decreases in accounting fees ($55,000), partially offset by increases in audit fees ($75,000) driven by compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and increased attorneys fees ($175,000) related to the appeal of the FDA’s decision regarding the Company’s 510(k) Premarket Notification for AutoloGel^TM System.

Clinical Trial Related Expenses

Clinical trial related expenses fell $1,527,000 (96%) to $62,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2006, to the same period last year. The Company completed the active phase of the trial in 2005 and in the first two quarters of 2006 incurred only limited expenses associated with the close out of the trial.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses fell $309,000 (15%) to $1,786,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2006, to the same period last year. The decrease was due primarily to decreases in travel related expenditures ($163,000), AMEX filing fees ($52,000), investor services ($43,000), and depreciation of fixed assets ($35,000), partially offset by increases in marketing related activities ($30,000).

Other Income/Expenses

Other income rose $954,000 (101%) to $1,896,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2006, to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to increased interest income ($143,000) as a result of higher interest rates and larger cash balances, increased patent settlement income ($600,000, net), and a one time charge ($228,000) in 2005 recorded for the issuance of 65,000 shares of the Company’s Common stock in return for a full settlement and release of all claims from a lawsuit brought against the Company relating to its emergence from bankruptcy.

COMPARATIVE RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005 AND 2004

Revenues

Revenues rose $369,000 (32%) to $1,514,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2005 to the same period in 2004. Revenues are normally generated from two sources: the sale of disposable kits and reagents and royalties received from licensing activities.

The increase in revenue is attributable to increased royalties of $547,000 from five new licensing agreements entered into during 2005, primarily those with Medtronic, Inc. and Harvest Technologies, Inc., entered into during the second quarter. This increase was partially offset by a $178,000 decrease in AutoloGel™ kit sales. AutoloGel™ kit sales decreased due to reduced sales to two large nursing home customers and difficulty qualifying patients for commercial insurance reimbursement, partially offset by an increase in sales to the non-reimbursement sensitive market.

Gross Profit

Gross profit rose $199,000 (46%) to $633,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2005 to the same period in 2004. For the same periods, gross margins rose to 42% from 38%.

The increase in gross profit is primarily attributable to the Medtronic and Harvest licensing agreements which carry a greater gross margin than previously existing licensing agreements. This increase in gross profit was partially offset by a decrease in gross profit from AutoloGel™ kit sales. This decrease was primarily attributable to increased costs for educational treatments used in an effort to penetrate more profitable segments of the market, as well as the write-off of obsolete inventory.

The DePuy royalties, inclusive of the amortization of deferred revenue associated with the initial deposit of $750,000, generates a gross margin of approximately 20%. The Company expects gross margins generated from all other licensing agreements to be in the range of 50-70%.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses fell $543,000 (6%) to $8,079,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2005 to the same period in 2004. The Company relies heavily on the use of equity-based compensation to various employees, consultants and other parties that provide services to the Company. Due to the magnitude of this non-cash expense, the following exhibit highlights the impact of this equity-based compensation on the Company’s operating expenses. The exhibit below presents the Company’s operating expenses in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and presents the amount of equity-based compensation expense included in the respective line items and then reflects the operating expenses without the equity-based compensation, which is not in accordance with GAAP (“NON-GAAP”). The following exhibit is presented to provide an additional tool to evaluate the Company’s operating expenditures between years:

Salaries and Wages

Salaries and wages rose $1,201,000 (68%) to $2,970,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2005 to the same period in 2004.

The increase was primarily due to increased non-cash equity-based compensation, primarily a result of $798,000 related to the revaluation and expense associated with the change in terms to existing options, pursuant to the separation agreement with the Company’s former CFO dated July 15, 2005, and increased bonus accrual ($216,000). The remainder of the increase is due to additional employees, and severance costs for the former CFO.

Consulting and Related Party Consulting Expenses

Consulting and related party consulting expenses fell $1,481,000 (82%) to $332,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2005 to the same period in 2004.

The decrease was primarily due to a $1,260,000 decrease in non-cash equity-based compensation. The remaining change was due to decreases in other compensation and expenses relating to these consultants. During 2004, the Company relied upon the issuance of stock options and warrants to attract and retain senior level consultants to assist in all phases of its operations. This included strategic planning, financing related support, governmental support and lobbying, and on-going managerial support. Most of these activities were significantly curtailed or eliminated in 2005.

Professional Fees

Professional fees rose $151,000 (17%) to $1,019,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2005 to the same period in 2004. Professional fees consist primarily of legal and accounting services.

The increase was primarily due to increased patent litigation related expenditures and auditing/accounting fees, partially offset by decreases in fees to securities and general counsel attorneys.

Clinical Trial Related Expenses

Clinical trial related expenses rose $204,000 (15%) to $1,589,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2005 to the same period in 2004. During 2005, the trials were in the active treatment phase.

The increase was primarily due to greater expenditures ($268,000) for the various clinical sites participating in the trials and higher fees from its contract research organization and for consultants, partially offset by reduced costs for equipment and supplies.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses fell $617,000 (23%) to $2,095,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2005 to the same period in 2004.

The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in non-cash equity-based compensation for the board of directors and outside service providers ($619,000).

Other Income/Expenses

Other income rose $894,000 (1,822%) to $943,000 comparing the year ended December 31, 2005 to the same period in 2004.

The increase was primarily attributable to patent litigation settlements (net of related costs) in the amount of $1,047,000, with a lesser impact from higher interest income. These increases were partially offset by expenses ($227,500) recorded for the issuance of 65,000 shares of the Company’s Common stock in return for a full settlement and release of all claims from a lawsuit brought against the Company in its emergence from bankruptcy.

MODIFIED EBITDA INFORMATION NOT IN CONFORMITY WITH GENERALLY ACCEPTED ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES

Throughout this report, the Company has presented income statement items in conformity with GAAP, except where otherwise noted. Given the magnitude of the non-cash expenses, the Company utilizes a modified EBITDA (earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization and other non-cash items) to evaluate and monitor the results of operations. Although EBITDA is a NON-GAAP financial measure, the Company believes that this information will allow for an additional clarification of the Company’s performance and provides the readers of the Company’s financial statements an additional tool to evaluate the comparative performance of the Company. Following, is a reconciliation of the comparative net (loss) to Common shareholders to modified EBITDA utilized by the Company:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, and 2004, the Company's operating revenues did not cover the costs of its operations. The cash position of the Company at December 31, 2006 was $4,662,000. The Company believes that it will have adequate cash on hand to fund operations for the year ending December 31, 2007. However, additional cash may be required if operating revenues do not materialize, the cost of operations increases, or if the Company’s efforts to appeal the FDA’s NSE determination letter prove unsuccessful and a change in strategy requires significant short-term funding.

The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures.

Because the Company was in bankruptcy in 2002, the Company may not be able to obtain debt financing. All working capital required to implement the Company’s business plan will be provided by funds obtained through offerings of its equity securities, and revenues generated by the Company.

PROSPECTS FOR THE FUTURE

Cytomedix’s success is directly dependent on the success of AutoloGel™, and the Company believes that AutoloGel™ has a reasonable chance for success in the marketplace. First and foremost, the Company believes that, based on the results of the Company’s clinical trial and other historical data as well as the preliminary results of a pharmaco-economic study, AutoloGel™ has higher healing rates for diabetic foot ulcers and is more cost effective than most other wound treatments. The Company owns the patents on the process for utilizing platelet gel for wound healing, the basis of its license agreements, through 2009 and for the specific formulation of AutoloGel™, which provides several competitive advantages, through 2019.

However, Cytomedix is currently facing a regulatory hurdle. Specifically, it is seeking a reversal, or acceptable amendment, to the FDA’s NSE determination letter. If the Company is successful in this effort, then its current strategic plan remains completely in tact. If efforts are unsuccessful, the Company would likely implement one or more contingent strategies. These contingent strategies are currently being evaluated and refined.

Although it is premature to narrow these strategies, they are currently being considered independently and in combinations. Each strategy offers its own unique set of opportunities and challenges.

Significant challenges still exist in implementing the Company’s plans; whether FDA clearance is obtained and the Company pursues its current strategy, or the Company pursues an alternative strategic plan. Management continues to focus its efforts on leveraging the strength of its intellectual property and successes to date.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The Company does not enter into financial instruments for speculation or trading purposes. In accordance with the Company’s investment policy, cash is to be invested in bank and institutional money market funds, or in T-Bills or short-term T-Notes. At December 31, 2006, the Company’s cash balance of approximately $4.7 million was maintained primarily in bank and institutional money market accounts. These accounts are sensitive to changes in the general level of interest rates. Based on the Company’s cash balances at December 31, 2006, a 100 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates would have an approximately $47,000 impact on the Company’s annual interest income and net loss. Actual changes in rates may differ from the hypothetical assumption used in computing this exposure.

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Cytomedix is a biotechnology company that develops and licenses autologous cellular therapies (i.e., therapies using the patient’s own body products), including Cytomedix’s proprietary process to produce a platelet rich plasma gel (“AutoloGel™”) for the treatment of wounds. To create AutoloGel™, the patient’s own platelets and plasma are separated through centrifugation and combined with several reagents. This process releases multiple growth factors from the platelets, creates a fibrin matrix scaffold, and forms a gel that is topically applied to a wound (under the direction of a physician). Upon topical application, the Company believes that AutoloGel™ initiates a reaction that closely mimics the body’s natural healing process. Cytomedix sells its products primarily to health care providers in the United States and licenses its patents to medical device and product suppliers in the United States. The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on April 29, 1998, and has its headquarters in Rockville, Maryland.

The Company's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Certain financial information is based on fresh-start accounting utilized upon the Company’s emergence from bankruptcy in July 2002.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Concentration of Risk

Approximately $1.5 million, $1.1 million and $0.7 million, or 77%, 76% and 61% of the Company’s revenue in the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 respectively, were generated from royalties from three, three and one licensees, respectively. Should any of these licensees experience a significant decrease in the sales of products covered by its license agreement with Cytomedix, there may be a material adverse effect on Cytomedix’s results of future operations.

As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the Company maintained approximately $225,000 and $340,000 respectively, in financial institutions in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance. In addition, $3,973,000 and $2,323,000 held in money market accounts at brokerage firms were in excess of the $500,000 Securitites Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) coverage as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These amounts not covered by SIPC were insured by the Company’s brokerage firm through the Customer Asset Protection Company (“CAPCO”).

The Company currently has one product that is presently marketed. Significant changes in technology could lead to new products or services that compete with the product offered by the Company. These changes could materially affect the price of the Company’s product or render it obsolete.

The Company outsources manufacturing for all the components of its offerings. While the Company utilizes single suppliers for several components of the AutoloGel offering, such components are readily available on the open market and therefore no dependency exists. The one exception is a reagent, bovine thrombin, available exclusively through King Pharmaceuticals.

Notes to Financial Statements

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

Accounts and Royalties Receivable

Cytomedix generates accounts receivable from the sale of its products. Cytomedix provides for a reserve against receivables for estimated losses that may result from a customer’s inability or unwillingness to pay. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated primarily based upon historical write-off percentages, known problem accounts, and current economic conditions. Accounts are written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts when the Company determines that amounts are not collectable. Recoveries of previously written-off accounts are recorded when collected.

Royalties receivable represent current royalties earned on sales of covered product by licensees.

Inventory

Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Cost is determined on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis. The Company's primary product is a kit that is composed of multiple items that expire at different periods with the earliest item in the kit being the determining factor in its classification as a salable item. Kits with expired components are segregated and used for demonstration purposes only; the Company maintains a full reserve on these kits.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and is depreciated, using the straight-line method, over their estimated useful lives ranging from three to seven years. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. When assets are sold, or otherwise disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in other income and expense.

Intangible Assets

The Company capitalizes the costs of purchased and internally developed patents. This cost is amortized via the straight-line method over the remaining life of the patents.

The Company accounts for finite-lived intangibles under SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” and therefore reviews the recoverability of long-lived and finite-lived intangible assets when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable.

The Company follows the guidance of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,” with regard to its indefinite-lived intangibles. SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be assessed at least annually for impairment by applying a fair value based test. This evaluation has been independently performed for 2006, 2005 and 2004 and is generally based on various analyses including cash flow projections. In the event these analyses indicate an impairment, the Company would record an impairment loss, if any, based on the fair value of the assets.

No impairment of intangible assets was recorded in 2006, 2005 or 2004.

Income Taxes

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of net operating loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes, using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. A full valuation allowance has been established, reducing deferred tax assets to zero, as management has determined that realization of this benefit is not assured.

Notes to Financial Statements

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, “Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements” (“SAB 101”), as amended. SAB 101 requires that four basic criteria must be met before revenue can be recognized: (1) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists; (2) delivery has occurred or services rendered; (3) consideration is fixed and determinable; and (4) collectibility is reasonably assured.

Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products to distributors and caregivers is recognized upon delivery. Revenue from the sale of the Company’s products to patients is recognized upon use of the product on the patient or acknowledgement from a patient's insurer authorizing treatment, whichever is later.

Revenue from the licensing of patents (royalty revenue) is generally recognized as products are sold by licensees. Certain up-front license fees are amortized over the life of the license agreement. Lump sum payments, considered by the Company to be discharges of past obligations, are reflected net of their associated costs as “Patent litigation settlements, net” in the Statements of Operations. Such amounts are recorded at their present value. The Company records revenue and settlement income related to its agreement with Perfusion Partners Associates, Inc. (“PPAI”) on the cash basis due to PPAI’s recent emergence from bankruptcy.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company adopted SFAS No. 123R, “Share-Based Payment,” as of January 1, 2006, using the modified prospective application. Under this method, all equity-based compensation awarded after the adoption date has been determined under the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123R. Additionally, for all equity-based compensation awarded prior to the adoption date, compensation for the portion of awards for which the requisite service is performed after the adoption date is recognized as service is rendered.

The Company’s policy is to issue new shares of its Common stock when employees exercise options awarded under its Long-Term Incentive Plan. See Note 12 to the Financial Statements.

As permitted under SFAS No. 123, the Company applied the intrinsic value method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations, in accounting for its stock-based grants to employees and directors in 2005 and 2004. Under the “intrinsic value” method, an option’s value is the excess of the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant over the exercise price of the option. No value is attributed to the option if its exercise price is greater than the stock’s market price. Had the Company continued to use the intrinsic value provisions under APB Opinion No. 25, employee and director stock-based compensation would have been $115,833, net of income taxes, for the year ended December 31, 2006. The change increased reported net loss and basic and diluted loss per share for the year ended December 31, 2006 by $957,297 and $0.03, respectively. The change had no effect on the Company’s cash flow from operating, investing or financing activities.

Under the fair value method prescribed by SFAS 123R, the Company recorded $1,073,130, net of income taxes, in employee and director stock-based compensation for the year ended December 31, 2006. Had compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 been determined under the fair value provisions of SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123,” the Company’s net loss and net loss per share to Common shareholders would have differed as follows:

CYTOMEDIX, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

	2005			2004
Net loss to common stockholders, as reported	$	(6,588,387	)	$	(11,259,187	)

Add:
Stock-based employee compensation

Deduct:
Stock-based employee compensation

Pro forma net loss	$	(8,029,053	)	$	(11,794,515	)
Loss per share:
Basic and diluted - as reported	$	(0.27	)	$	(0.62	)

Basic and diluted - pro forma	$	(0.33	)	$	(0.65	)

These pro forma amounts may not be representative of future disclosures since the estimated fair value of stock options would be amortized to expense over the vesting period and additional options may be issued in future years.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option valuation model. The weighted-average assumptions used in the model are summarized in the following table:

	2006			2005			2004
Risk free rate		4.73	%		4.40	%		3.90	%
Expected years until exercise		10.0			8.1			9.3
Expected stock volatility		113	%		114	%		100	%
Dividend yield		—			—			—

Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected years until exercise represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The Company estimated that the dividend rate on its Common stock will be zero.

Loss Per Share

Loss per share is calculated in accordance with SFAS No. 128, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of Common stock outstanding for the period and excludes any potential dilution. Diluted earnings per share reflects potential dilution from the exercise of securities into Common stock. Outstanding options and warrants to purchase Common stock are not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect of these instruments would be anti-dilutive (i.e. would reduce the loss per share).

CYTOMEDIX, INC.

Notes to Financial Statements

The Common shares potentially issuable upon the exercise of these instruments, were as follows at December 31:

	2006		2005		2004
Options		3,202,377		2,782,077		2,516,577
Warrants		4,745,301		8,528,988		11,253,200
Series A Preferred Stock		121,990		115,580		525,261
Series B Preferred Stock		27,810		28,458		462,347
Series C Preferred Stock		—		—		839,000
		8,097,478		11,455,103		15,596,385

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of current assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to their relatively short maturities.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to conform prior year's data to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on reported earnings.

Registration Payment Arrangements

The Company is party to a registration rights agreement and a related warrant agreement with one of its former consultants. The registration rights agreement provides for liquidated damages, at the discretion of the warrantholder, in the event that the registration statement relating to the shares underlying the warrants becomes ineffective. The Company’s obligations under this agreement run through the earlier of April 1, 2012 or two years after the exercise of the related warrants. At the discretion of the warrantholder, the liquidated damages may take the form of cash or additional shares of the Company’s Common stock. As of December 31, 2006, the Company has estimated the maximum undiscounted liquidated damages at $171,000. However, pursuant to FASB Staff Position No. EITF 00-19-2, which the Company adopted in the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company has determined that it is unlikely that circumstances allowing for the aforementioned liquidated damages would arise, and therefore no contingent liability has been recorded.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109,” which seeks to reduce the diversity in practice associated with the accounting and reporting for uncertainty in income tax positions. This Interpretation prescribes a comprehensive model for the financial statement recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and the Company will adopt the new requirements in its fiscal first quarter of 2007. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement in fiscal year 2007 to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), which provides guidance on measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities. SFAS 157 will apply to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value but does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. This standard will also require additional disclosures in both annual and quarterly reports. SFAS 157 will be effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. The Company is currently determining the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 157 will have on its financial statements.

In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements” (“SAB 108”). The intent of SAB 108 is to reduce diversity in practice for the method companies use to quantify financial statement misstatements, including the effect of prior year uncorrected errors. SAB 108 establishes an approach that requires quantification of financial statement errors using both an income statement and a cumulative balance sheet approach. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006, and the Company will adopt the new requirements in 2007. The adoption of SAB 108 is not currently expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements

NOTE 3 - WORKING CAPITAL

The Company’s operating revenues do not cover the costs of its operations. The cash position of the Company at December 31, 2006 was approximately $4.7 million. The Company believes that it will have adequate cash on hand to fund operations for the year ending December 31, 2007. However, additional cash may be required if operating revenues do not materialize, the cost of operations increases, or if the Company’s efforts to appeal the FDA’s NSE determination letter prove unsuccessful and a change in strategy requires significant short-term funding.

The Company has no material commitments for capital expenditures.

NOTE 4 - LICENSING AGREEMENTS

During 2006 and 2005, the Company entered into several separate settlement and license Agreements. Under the terms of the respective agreements, payments of approximately $4,905,000 were due to the Company for the discharge of past obligations or as upfront fees. Additionally, certain licensees are required to pay on-going royalties on defined classes of sales.

Patent settlements are one-time, non-recurring transactions. Amounts related to these settlements that are payable to the Company over time are reflected as “Patent settlements receivable, current portion” and “Patent settlements receivable” on the Balance Sheet for their current and long-term portions respectively. Associated costs, consisting of royalty and contingent legal fees payable upon the collection of such receivables, are reflected in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” and “Other liabilities” on the Balance Sheet, for their current and long-term portions, respectively. Income related to the settlement of past obligations, net of associated costs, are reflected as “Patent litigation settlements, net” on the Statements of Operations as follows:

	2006			2005			2004

Income	$	2,479,000		$	1,388,000		$	—

Costs		(832,000	)		(341,000	)		—

Net settlement income	$	1,647,000		$	1,047,000		$	—

Due to PPAI’s recent emergence from bankruptcy, the Company records incomes when payments are received from PPAI. As of December 31, 2006, the Company had received and recorded $139,000 of the agreed $250,000 settlement for past obligations from PPAI.

Royalties earned after the effective dates of these agreements and amortization of deferred revenue from up front fees, together with the related costs, are included in the Statements of Operations as “Royalties” and “Cost of royalties,” respectively.

Since 2003, the Company has incurred expenses of $690,000 (excluding royalty and contingent legal fees) for patent enforcement actions. Of this amount,$1,000, $479,000, and $197,000 were incurred during 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. These fees have primarily been included in Professional fees. The Company’s patent enforcement strategy is being conducted on a full contingency basis.

The Company’s primary license agreements, based on its ownership of the “Knighton Patent” (US Patent No. 5,165,938), are listed below:

Notes to Financial Statements

The following table presents a reconciliation between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and the Company's effective tax rate:

	2006		2005		2004
U.S. Federal statutory income tax		35.0%		35.0%		35.0%

State and local income tax benefits		6.6%		7.2%		2.5%
Other		(1.7%)		(0.4%)		1.1%
Nondeductible expenses		(0.1%)		(0.1%)		(0.1%)
Valuation allowance for deferred
income tax assets		(39.8%)		(41.7%)		(38.5%)
Effective income tax rate		(0.0%)		0.0%		0.0%

The Company had loss carryforwards of approximately $21,578,000 as of December 31, 2006 that may be offset against future taxable income. The carryforwards will expire between 2021 and 2026. Utilization of these carryforwards may be subject to annual limitations based upon previous significant changes in stock ownership. Management has determined that realization of this benefit is not assured and accordingly has established a valuation allowance of $10,530,000 and $9,584,000 at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

NOTE 11 - CAPITAL STOCK

The Company has several classes of stock as described below.

Common Stock

Common stock has a par value of $.0001 per share and is limited to a maximum of 65,000,000 shares. It is subordinate to both Series A Convertible Preferred stock and Series B Convertible Preferred stock and to all other classes and series of equity securities of the Company which by their terms rank senior to it, in the event of a liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company or with regard to any other rights, privileges or preferences. Each share of Common stock represents the right to one vote. Holders of Common stock are entitled to receive dividends as may be declared by the Board of Directors, subject to the limitations in the terms of the Series A and B Convertible Preferred stock described below.

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

Series A Convertible Preferred stock (“Series A”) has a par value of $.0001 per share and is limited to a maximum of 5,000,000 shares. It has a stated liquidation preference of $1.00 per share and preference over and rank senior to (i) Series B Convertible Preferred stock, (ii) Common stock, and (iii) all other classes and series of equity securities of the Company which by its terms do not rank senior to the Series A stock. The Series A contains a negative covenant prohibiting the Company from granting any security interest in the Company's patents and/or future royalty streams ("Intellectual Property"). The holders of record of shares are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at the rate of 8% of the stated liquidation preference amount per share per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. These dividends are prior and in preference to any declaration or payment of any distribution on any outstanding shares of Common stock or any other equity securities of the Company ranking junior as to the payment of dividends. Dividends are to be paid in shares of Series A or, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, in cash. Each share of Series A stock shall entitle the holder thereof to vote on all matters voted on by holders of Common stock of the Company voting together as a single class with the other shares entitled to vote.

Each share of Series A stock may be converted into Common stock at a conversion rate equal to 90% of the twenty-day average closing price of the Company’s Common stock, but in no case shall this price be less than $3.00 per share.

The Company may redeem Series A stock for cash at a price per share equal to 104% of the liquidation preference amount plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, by providing proper notice of not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to a redemption date set by the Company.

Dividends are to be paid in shares of Series B or, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors, in cash. Each share of Series B stock shall entitle the holder thereof to vote on all matters voted on by holders of Common stock of the Company voting together as a single class with the other shares entitled to vote.

The Company may redeem Series B stock for cash at a price per share equal to 103% of the liquidation preference amount plus all accrued but unpaid dividends, by providing proper notice of not less than 10 days nor more than 60 days prior to a redemption date set by the Company.

Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

Series C Convertible Preferred stock (“Series C”) has a par value of $.0001 per share and is limited to a maximum of 1,000 shares.

The shares accrued dividends at 6% of the stated liquidation preference amount from the date of issuance and increased to 8% commencing on September 25, 2005, are payable annually in cash or shares of Common stock at the option of the Company. The Series C stock ranks pari passu with Series A and Series B with respect to payment of dividends. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, no Series C remained outstanding.

On August 30, 2006, as required by the Certificate of Designation filed with the Delaware Secretary of State, the Company declared a stock dividend on its Series A and B Convertible Preferred shares. This dividend resulted in issuance of 27,869 and 7,036 shares of Series A and B Convertible Preferred stock, respectively, and the issuance of 109 shares of Common stock, in lieu of preferred shares, to prior holders of Series A and B Convertible Preferred shares that were converted to Common stock prior to the payment of the preferred dividends.

Offerings

In March 2004, the Company entered into a Series C Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement with several accredited investors providing for the sale and issuance of $2.8 million of Series C Convertible Preferred stock (“Series C”) representing 280 shares, at $10,000 per share, of preferred stock which are convertible into 2.8 million shares of Common stock. For each Series C share, the Company issued Series C-1 and Series C-2 warrants allowing the holders thereof to purchase an aggregate of approximately 2.8 million shares of Common stock at an exercise price of $1.50 per share. The characteristics and relative rights of the Series C stock and the basic terms of the C-1 and C-2 warrants are discussed earlier in this footnote. Pursuant to a registration rights agreement, the Company subsequently registered the resale of the Common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C Convertible Preferred stock and the Common stock issuable upon exercise of the Series C-1 and Series C-2 warrants. The Company received proceeds from this placement, net of commissions and expenses of $325,807, of $2,474,193. In addition to the commissions, the placement agent also received five-year warrants to purchase 280,000 shares of the Company's Common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share and was awarded a six-month consulting agreement for future financing services in return for compensation of $5,000 per month and additional warrants to purchase 100,000 shares of Common stock at an exercise price of $1.00 per share.

The Company’s stock price on March 26, 2004 was $2.06; consequently, pursuant to the requirements of EITF 98-5 “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” (“EITF 98-5”), as amended by EITF 00-27 “Application of Issue 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments”, the issuance of the Series C stock, which are convertible initially at $1.00 per share at any time, resulted in a beneficial conversion feature (the difference between the market price and the conversion price) recorded as a preferred stock dividend in the amount of $2,800,000.

Simultaneous with the Series C placement, the Company commenced a separate private placement in which the Company offered for sale 4,500 units at $1,000 per unit (the “Unit Offering”), in return for a total of $4,500,000, consisting of cash and negotiable subscription promissory notes receivable. Each unit consists of 1,000 shares of Common stock and a five-year warrant (the “unit warrants”) to purchase an additional 1,000 shares at $1.50 per share. The characteristics and relative rights of the Common stock and the basic terms of the unit warrants are discussed earlier in this footnote. As compensation for their services, certain broker-dealers received cash commissions in the amount of 10% of the gross proceeds. The Company incurred $38,825 of professional fees related to this placement which have been netted against the proceeds. At December 31, 2004, the Company had subscriptions receivable of $825,000 plus accrued interest, all of which was received in 2005.

On May 1, 2006, the Company completed a Class D Warrant Offer whereby, for each $7.50 of Outstanding Warrants exercised by warrantholders during the offer period, the Company issued one Class D Warrant which the holder may exercise for one share of Cytomedix Common Stock at an exercise price of $3.50. These Class D Warrants have a five year term and are callable at the Company’s discretion if the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock is at least $4.50 for 10 consecutive trading days and certain other conditions are met. Through this offer, the Company received exercises of Outstanding Warrants totaling approximately $2,280,000 and issued 304,033 Class D Warrants. These Class D Warrants carry piggyback registration rights whereby the Company must include the shares underlying these Class D Warrants on any registration statement filed by the Company after the closing of the Offering.

NOTE 17 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Under the Company’s plan of reorganization upon emergence from bankruptcy in July 2002, the pre-bankruptcy Series A Preferred stock and the dividends accrued thereon that existed prior to emergence from bankruptcy are exchanged into one share of new Common stock for every five shares of pre-bankruptcy Series A Preferred shares held as of the date of emergence from bankruptcy. This exchange is contingent on the successor Company’s attaining aggregate gross revenues for four consecutive quarters of at least $10,000,000 prior to July 2009 and would result in the issuance of approximately 350,000 shares of Common stock.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), the Company conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of December 31, 2006. Based on this evaluation, its CEO and CFO concluded the Company's disclosure controls are not effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including the CEO and CFO, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2006.

Two material weaknesses were noted based on evidence of errors in application of controls over financial disclosures and in recording stock-based compensation expense. The financial statement disclosure errors related primarily to SFAS109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and the recently adopted SFAS123R, Share-Based Payment. While a disclosure checklist was utilized for year-end reporting, certain disclosures were not included or properly prepared. Errors were also noted in the recording of stock-based compensation related to one set of option grants.

Management is in the process of evaluating these issues and will take remedial action in 2007.

Management’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, has been audited by L J Soldinger Associates, LLC, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report as set forth on the following page.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

The Company made the following changes in its internal controls over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended December 31, 2006, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting:

§	Created formal documentation of internal control structure and testing of key internal controls

§	Implemented system of mandatory signatures to evidence preparation and review of items that encompass certain key controls

§	Formalized a company-wide authority matrix regarding contracts, purchasing, and invoice approval

§	Developed checklists to be used at certain regular meetings to ensure comprehensive discussion of internal controls

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and

Shareholders of Cytomedix, Inc.

We have audited management's assessment, included in the accompanying section Item 9A. Control and Procedures, that Cytomedix, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Cytomedix, Inc.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management's assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating management's assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

A material weakness is a control deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. The following two material weaknesses have been identified and included in management's assessment. The material weaknesses were based on evidence of errors in application of controls over financial disclosures and in recording stock-based compensation expense. The financial statement disclosure errors related primarily to SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, and the recently adopted SFAS 123R, Share-Based Payment. While a disclosure checklist was utilized for year-end reporting, certain required disclosures were not included or properly prepared. Errors were also noted in the calculation and recording of stock-based compensation related to one set of option grants.

These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2006 financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated February 23, 2007 on those financial statements.

In our opinion based on our audit, management's assessment that Cytomedix, Inc. did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Also, in our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described above on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Cytomedix, Inc. has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2006 based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the balance sheets and the related statements of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows of Cytomedix, Inc., and our report dated February 23, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

During 2006, the Company had the following executive officers: Kshitij Mohan, CEO; Andrew S. Maslan, Chief Financial Officer; Carelyn P. Fylling, Vice President of Professional Services.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The Compensation Committee has responsibility for reviewing and making recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to the Company’s overall executive compensation policy, including such items as (i) the annual base salary, annual bonus, and annual and long-term equity-based or other incentives of each corporate officer, including the CEO; (ii) corporate goals and objectives relevant to each executive officer’s compensation, evaluate each executive officer's performance in light of those goals and objectives, and recommend each executive officer's compensation level based on this evaluation, which recommendation will be subject to approval by the full Board; and (iii) any other matter, such as severance agreements, change in control agreements, or special or supplemental executive benefits, within the Committee's authority:

The overall compensation policy, which is applicable to the Cytomedix executive officers, is to position the aggregate of the compensation components at a level commensurate with the Company’s size and performance relative to similar companies. The Compensation Committee seeks to make compensation decisions consistent with the long-term growth and performance objectives of the Company. The Compensation Committee implements its compensation policy in a manner designed to maximize shareholder benefit by aligning the interests of employees with the interests of shareholders through the award of stock options and motivating executive officers by rewarding them based on performance.

The Company is committed to providing a competitive pay program that is fair, non-discriminatory, and attractive to quality personnel. Further, the Cytomedix pay program is structured to achieve motivation of its employees and efficient performance. Accordingly, Cytomedix has structured its pay program to achieve these goals through an appropriate mix of cash and equity-based compensation as well as productivity-based awards.

The Company’s executive compensation program currently consists primarily of salary, annual peformance bonuses and incentive awards in the form of stock options under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee believes that stock options awarded under the Cytomedix Long-Term Incentive Plan provide the most useful incentive to encourage executive officers and other employees to maximize productivity and efficiency because the value of such options relates to the Company’s stock price. Awards under the Long-Term Incentive Plan have the effect of more closely aligning the interests of the Company’s employees with its shareholders, while at the same time offering an attractive vehicle for the recruitment, retention, and compensation of employees.

The CEO’s annual performance bonus is dependent on his performance against pre-determined management business objectives (“MBO’s”). The MBO’s in effect for the CEO’s most recently completed employment year related to the following general areas:

§	Patents and Licensing

o	Resolution of actual and potential infringement matters

o	Development and implementation of utilization strategies

§	Product Development

o	Completion of clinical trial and submission of preliminary results

o	Development and implementation of regulatory strategy

o	Completion of a pharmaco-economic study

o	Development of a strategy for submission to the Center of Medicare and Medicaid Services

§	Sales and Marketing

o	Finalize potential sales contracts and further development of independent slaes representative network

§	Financial Performance

o	Increase gross revenues

o	Secure additional financing, if necessary

o	Further development of strategic plan

While based generally on the CEO’s merit and performance and considering his contribution to Cytomedix’s success, the specific performance criteria are set by the Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors on an annual basis to reflect an appropriate balance of the Company’s short-term and long-term goals.

Goals and objectives for other executive officers are designed to facilitate the achievement of the overarching Company goals reflected in the CEO’s MBO’s.

As of December 31, 2006, 386,200 shares of common stock have been issued upon exercise of options granted pursuant to the Long Term Incentive Plan.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS
