PART I

ITEM 1. Business

Corporate Overview

Informatix Holdings, Inc. was incorporated in Delaware in 1998. In 1999, Autologous Wound Therapy, Inc. (“AWT”), an Arkansas Corporation, 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. (“Cytomedix” or the “Company”). 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. 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. In September 2007, the Company received 510(k) clearance for the AutoloGel^TM System (“AutoloGel”) from the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). In April 2010, the Company acquired the Angel® Whole Blood Separation System (“Angel” and the “Angel® Business”) from Sorin Group USA, Inc (“Sorin”). In February 2012, the Company acquired Aldagen, Inc., a privately held cell therapy company located in Durham, NC. Aldagen, Inc. is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cytomedix. The Company’s principal offices are located at 209 Perry parkway, Suite 7, Gaithersburg, Maryland 20877; telephone number is (240) 499-2680. The Company’s website address is http://www.cytomedix.com. Information contained on the Company’s website is not deemed part of this report.

Financial Information about Segments and Geographic Regions

Through December 31, 2012, Cytomedix had only one operating segment. Cytomedix primarily operates in the United States. Revenues from sales generated outside the United States are separately presented in this report. See Item 8, Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Recent Developments

Lincoln Park Transaction

On February 18, 2013, we entered into a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), together with a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), with Lincoln Park Capital Fund, LLC (“Lincoln Park”), pursuant to which the Company has the right to sell to Lincoln Park up to $15 million in shares of its common stock (“Common Stock”), subject to certain limitations. Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $15 million in shares of Common Stock (subject to certain limitations) from time to time over the 30-month period commencing on the date that a registration statement, which the Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed. The Company may direct Lincoln Park every other business day, at its sole discretion and subject to certain conditions, to purchase up to 150,000 shares of Common Stock per day in regular purchases, increasing to amounts of up to 200,000 shares depending upon the closing sale price of the Common Stock. In addition, the Company may direct Lincoln Park to purchase additional amounts as accelerated purchases if on the date of a regular purchase the closing sale price of the Common Stock is not below $1.00 per share. The purchase price of shares of Common Stock related to the future funding will be based on the prevailing market prices of such shares at the time of sales (or over a period of up to 12 business days leading up to such time), but in no event will shares be sold to Lincoln Park on a day the Common Stock closing price is less than the floor price of $0.45 per share, subject to adjustment. The Company’s sales of shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement are limited to no more than the number of shares that would result in the beneficial ownership by Lincoln Park and its affiliates, at any single point in time, of more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of the Common Stock. The Company’s sales of shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement, or the expectation that such sales may be made, could have the effect of reducing the market price of our Common Stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued to Lincoln Park 375,000 shares of Common Stock and is required to issue up to 375,000 additional shares of Common Stock on a pro rata basis as the Company requires Lincoln Park to purchase the Company’s shares under the Purchase Agreement over the term of the agreement. The Company did not pay any expense reimbursement in connection with the transaction. There are no limitations on use of proceeds, financial or business covenants, participation rights, penalties or liquidated damages in the Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park represented to the Company, among other things, that it was an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)), and the Company sold the securities in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) and Rule 506 under the Securities Act. The securities sold may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The net proceeds under the Purchase Agreement to the Company, if any, will depend on the frequency and prices at which the Company sells shares of its stock to Lincoln Park. The Company expects that any proceeds received by the Company from such sales to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement will be used for general corporate purposes and working capital requirements. The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreements and the Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of such documents.

Common Stock and Warrant Registered Offering

On February 19, 2013, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with certain institutional accredited investors, including certain current shareholders of the Company, to raise gross proceeds of $5,000,000, before placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses, in a registered offering. The Company will issue to the investors units of the Company’s securities consisting, in the aggregate, of 9,090,910 shares of the Company’s common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 6,363,637 shares of common stock. The purchase price paid by investors was $0.55 for each unit. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.75 per share on or after February 22, 2013 and is subject to transfer restrictions, including among others, compliance with the state securities laws. The closing of the offering took place on February 22, 2013. Proceeds from the transaction will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.

Burrill Securities LLC (“Burrill”) acted as a placement agent, on a “best efforts” basis, for this transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agent Agreement by and between the Company and Burrill dated as of February 19, 2013, the Company has agreed to pay an aggregate cash fee in the amount of $350,000 (the “Placement Fee”). The Company has also agreed to reimburse up to $52,000 for expenses incurred by them in connection with the offering. In addition, the Company will grant to Burrill at the closing of this offering warrants (the “Burrill Warrants”) to purchase 136,364 shares of our common stock. The Burrill Warrants will have the same terms as the investor warrants in this offering, except that the exercise price will be 120% of the exercise price of the investor warrants and may also be exercised on a cashless basis. In addition, the Company engaged Barrington Research Associates, Inc. (“Barrington”) to act as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with the offering for which services the Company agreed to compensate Barrington by paying a cash fee in the amount of $120,000 payable out of the Placement Fee.

The offering was made pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (SEC File No. 333-183704, the base prospectus originally filed with the SEC on August 31, 2012, as subsequently amended and as supplemented by a prospectus supplement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 20, 2013).

The securities purchase agreements contain representations, covenants and other provisions customary for the agreements of this nature. In addition, such agreements provide for certain “piggy-back” registrations rights with respect to the Company’s securities (including shares to be issued upon warrant exercises) purchased in the offering by investors that are affiliates of the Company, such that the Company agreed, to the extent such affiliate investors are not able to resell such securities without restriction, to include such securities in its future registration statements, subject to applicable limitations. Also, to the extent that such securities have been not registered at the time the Company is required to file a registration statement in connection with the final milestone event relating to the February 2012 Aldagen acquisition, the affiliate investors will have the right to include such securities in such registration statement.

Securities Repurchase Agreement — Maryland Venture Fund

On February 19, 2013, in connection with this offering the Company and the Maryland Venture Fund (Maryland Department of Business and Economic Development), an investor in the above referenced offering (“MVF”), in compliance with MVF’s investment policies, agreed to execute a certain Stock Repurchase Agreement which requires the Company to repurchase the MVF’s investment, at MVF’s option, in the event the Company relocates its principal place of business outside Maryland or any executive officer of the Company is convicted of a felony; provided, however, that in the event that, at the time of either such event the Company’s securities are listed on a national securities exchange, the foregoing repurchase will not be triggered.

MidCap Credit and Security Agreement and Related Agreements

On February 19, 2013, the Company (and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Aldagen, Inc. and Cytomedix Acquisition Company, LLC) entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Midcap Financial LLC (“Midcap”), that provides for an aggregate term loan commitments of $7.5 million. The Company expects to receive the first tranche of $4.5 million following satisfaction of certain closing conditions, including, among others, the completion of the Lincoln Park purchase agreement and the equity raise transaction, which is expected to occur on or about February 22, 2013. The second tranche of $3.0 million may be advanced to the Company, at the Company’s discretion, upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) if the Company achieves certain performance milestones for 2013 and (ii) raises an amount of not less than $5.0 million in the aggregate from (a) equity investors, and/or (b) partnership proceeds on or before July 31, 2013 (the “Capital Raise Event”).

The term loan will mature on August 19, 2016, and will be repaid on a straight-line amortization basis, with the first twelve months being an interest-only period and commencing on the thirteenth month the principal on both the first tranche and, if applicable, on the second tranche, will be amortized in equal monthly amounts through the maturity date. In connection with the foregoing loan facility, the Company issued MidCap a seven-year warrant to purchase 1,079,137 shares of the Company’s common stock at the warrant exercise price of $0.70 per share. The exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the warrant is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of recapitalization events, stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications or similar events affecting the Company’s common stock, and also upon any distributions of assets, including cash, stock or other property to the Company’s stockholders. The warrant contains a cashless exercise provision. The warrant is not and will not be listed on any securities exchange or automated quotation system. MidCap is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and the Company sold the securities in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) under the Securities Act. The securities sold may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. Interest on the outstanding balance of the term loan is payable monthly in arrears at an annual rate of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus 8.0%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 3%, and is calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360 day year. In the event the term loan is prepaid by the Company prior to the end of its term, the Company will be required to pay to MidCap a fee equal to an amount determined by multiplying the outstanding loan amount by 5% in the first year, 3% in the second year and 1% after that. Amounts borrowed under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest on all existing and after-acquired assets of the Company, including the intellectual property of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Credit Agreement contains events of default and remedies customary for loan transactions of this sort including, among others, those related to a default in the payment of principal or interest, a material inaccuracy of a representation or warranty, a default with regard to performance of certain covenants, a material adverse change (as defined in the Credit Agreement) occurs, and certain change of control events. In addition, the failure to consummate the Capital Raise Event constitutes an event of default under the Credit Agreement. The Company would also be in default under the Credit Agreement in the event of certain withdrawals, recalls, adverse test results or enforcement actions with respect to the Company’s products. Upon the occurrence of a default, in some cases following a notice and cure period, MidCap may accelerate the maturity of the loans and require the full and immediate repayment of all borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains customary financial and negative covenants, including with respect

TABLE OF CONTENTS

to the Company’s ability to sell, lease, transfer, assign, grant a security interest in or otherwise dispose of its assets except in the ordinary course of business, or incur additional indebtedness. The parties to the Credit Agreement also entered into several side agreements, including, an Intellectual Property Security Agreement, Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, and Pledge Agreement to facilitate the transactions contemplated under the Credit Agreement. The Company also executed a Secured Promissory Note (the “Note”) in connection with and to evidence the Company’s obligation to repay all sums advanced by MidCap pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Note contains other terms and provisions that are customary for instruments of this nature. The Company plans to use the funds for general corporate and working capital purposes. The foregoing descriptions of the various agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of such documents.

Amendment to the Exchange and Purchase Agreement

On February 18, 2013, the Company and Aldagen Holdings, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Aldagen Holdings”), executed an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the February 8, 2012 Exchange and Purchase Agreement (the “Exchange Amendment”). The disinterested members of the Board reviewed and approved the terms and provisions of the Amendment. The purpose of the Amendment was to modify the terms of the post-closing consideration which was originally structured around the achievement of certain milestone events relating to the Company’s current ALD-401 Phase 2 clinical trials. The total number of 20,309,723 shares representing the post-closing consideration which Aldagen Holdings will be entitled receive as contemplated under the terms of the Exchange Agreement (the “Maximum Post-Closing Consideration”) remains unchanged. The terms of the Amendment are as follows:

Release of the Worden Security Interest in the Licensed Patents

On February 19, 2013, the Company and Charles E. Worden Sr., an individual holder of security interest in patents pursuant to the Substitute Royalty Agreement, dated November 4, 2001 (the “SRA”), executed an Amendment to the SRA (the “SRA Amendment”) for the purposes of terminating and releasing the security interest and the reversionary interest under the terms of the SRA in exchange for the following consideration: (i) a one-time cash payment of $500,000 (to replace all future minimum monthly royalty payments), (ii) issuance of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Worden Shares”), and (iii) grant of the right to acquire up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to a seven-year warrant with the exercise price of $0.70 per share (the “Worden Warrant”). In addition, under the terms of the Amendment, Mr. Worden’s future annual royalty stream limitation was increased from $600,000 to $625,000. The Worden Warrants contain provisions that are customary for the instruments of this nature, including, among others, cashless exercise provision. Mr. Worden is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act), and the Company therefore sold the Worden Shares and the Worden Warrant in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) under the Securities Act. The securities sold may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements. The foregoing descriptions of the various agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of such documents.

JP Nevada Trust Note Amendment

On February 19, 2013, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cytomedix Acquisition Company, LLC, on the one hand, and the holder of the April 28, 2011 $2.1 million secured promissory note (the “JP Trust Note”), JP Nevada Trust (the “Lender”), on the other hand, agreed, in consideration of the subordination of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

its security interest under the JP Trust Note to that of MidCap pursuant to the terms of the Subordination Agreement, to amend the JP Trust Note to (i) extend the maturity date of such note to November 19, 2016 and (ii) expand the Lender’s second lien security interest under the Note to include the assets of the Company and Aldagen, Inc., the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, in addition to the previously secured assets of Cytomedix Acquisition Company, LLC. The parties also agreed to amend the vesting schedule on the Lender’s warrants issued by the Company in April 2011 such that the remaining 250,000 warrant shares are exercisable immediately. Finally, the Company agreed to issue the Lender a new warrant to purchase up to 266,666 shares at an exercise price of $0.70 per share vesting as follows: (i) 133,333 shares may be exercised only if the JP Trust Note has not been paid by the fourth anniversary of its issuance, and (ii) the remaining 133,333 shares may be exercised only if the JP Trust Note has not been paid by the fifth anniversary of its issuance. The warrant was sold in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act, in reliance on Section 4(2) thereof. The Lender and each of the Guarantors are “accredited investors” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act and the Company sold the securities in reliance upon an exemption from registration contained in Section 4(2) under the Securities Act. The securities sold may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.

As disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K relating to the original issuance of the JP Trust Note, the Company’s payment obligations with respect to $1.4 million under the JP Trust Note were guaranteed by certain insiders, affiliates, and shareholders of the Company, including David E. Jorden, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Guarantors”). In light of the foregoing changes to the Lender’s warrant vesting schedule and issuance of new warrants the Lender, as described above, the disinterested members of the Board also: (i) reviewed and approved amendments to the warrant vesting schedule on the Guarantors’ warrants (including those held by Mr. Jorden) issued by the Company in April 2011 such that the remaining 500,000 warrant shares are exercisable immediately and (ii) granted the right to the Guarantors acquire up to 533,334 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to warrants at the exercise price of $0.70 per share, vesting as follows: (i) 266,667 warrant shares may be exercised only if the JP Trust Note has not been paid by the fourth anniversary of its issuance, and (ii) the remaining 266,667 shares may be exercised only if the JP Trust Note has not been prepaid by the fifth anniversary of its issuance (including 107,143 of the previously issued warrants held by Mr. Jorden, which will now vest immediately, and (i) 57,143 of his warrant shares may be exercised only if the JP Trust Note has not been paid by the fourth anniversary of its issuance, and (ii) the remaining 57,143 shares may be exercised only if the JP Trust Note has not been prepaid by the fifth anniversary of its issuance). The foregoing descriptions of the various agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full texts of such documents.

JMJ Financial Note Amendment and Subordination

On February 19, 2013, the Company and JMJ Financial (“JMJ”), the holder of certain convertible promissory notes issued by the Company (together, the “JMJ Notes”), agreed, in consideration of the subordination of JMJ’s rights and remedies under the JMJ Note to that of MidCap pursuant to the terms of the certain Subordination Agreement (the “JMJ Subordination Agreement”), to amend the JMJ Notes to extend the maturity date of the JMJ Notes to the later of (i) three years from the effective date of such notes or (ii) the date that is one business day following the date the MidCap loan is paid in full. In addition, JMJ converted $100,000 of the outstanding balance on one of the JMJ Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock and the Company remitted a payment in the amount of $370,000 to partially satisfy the JMJ Notes, with approximately $750,000 in the JMJ Notes to remain currently outstanding balance on one of JMJ Notes.

Our Business

Cytomedix, Inc. (“Cytomedix,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a regenerative therapies company marketing and developing products within the U.S. and internationally. We commercialize innovative cell-based technologies that harness the regenerative capacity of the human body to trigger natural healing. The use of autologous (from self) biological therapies for tissue repair and regeneration is part of a transformative clinical strategy designed to improve long term recovery in complex chronic conditions with significant unmet medical needs. We currently have a growing commercial operation, and a robust clinical pipeline representing a logical extension of our commercial technologies in the evolving field of regenerative medicine.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our current commercial offerings are centered on our point of care platform technologies for the safe and efficient separation of blood and bone marrow to produce platelet based therapies or cell concentrates. Today, we promote two distinct platelet rich plasma (PRP) technologies, the AutoloGel System for wound care and the Angel concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) System in orthopedics and cardiovascular markets. Our sales are predominantly (approximately 85%) in the United States, where we sell our products through a combination of direct sales representatives and independent sales agents. Commercial growth drivers in the U.S. include Medicare coverage for the treatment of chronic wounds under a National Coverage Decision allowing coverage with evidence development (CED), and the patient driven private pay PRP business in orthopedics and aesthetics. In Europe, the Middle East, Canada, and Australia we have a network of experienced distributors covering key markets.

Our clinical pipeline includes the ALDH^br cell-based therapies (“Bright Cells”), acquired through the February 2012 acquisition of Aldagen, Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company and the expansion of the Angel System for use in other clinical indications. Cytomedix has a strong and growing patent portfolio intended to drive value by facilitating and protecting leading market positions for our commercial products, attracting strategic partners, and generating revenue via out-licensing agreements.

The AutoloGel^TM System

The AutoloGel System is a point of care device for the production of a platelet based bioactive therapy derived from a small sample of the patient’s own blood. AutoloGel is cleared by the FDA for use on a variety of exuding wounds and is currently marketed in the $2.3 billion U.S. chronic wound market. The most significant growth driver for AutoloGel^TM is the 2012 National Coverage Decision from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) to provide CED and thereby reversing a twenty year old non-coverage decision for autologous blood products used in wound care. Using the patient’s own platelets as a therapeutic agent, AutoloGel harnesses the body’s natural healing processes to deliver growth factors, chemokines and cytokines known to promote angiogenesis and to regulate cell growth and the formation of new tissue. Once applied to the prepared wound bed, the biologically active platelet gel can restore the balance in the wound environment to transform a non-healing wound to a wound that heals naturally. There have been nine peer-reviewed scientific and clinical publications demonstrating the effectiveness of AutoloGel in the management of chronic wounds since the device and gel was cleared by the FDA in 2007.

In October 2011, and as extended, the Company entered into an option agreement with a top 20 global pharmaceutical company granting the potential partner and exclusive option period through August 30, 2012 regarding exclusive U.S. supply and distribution of the AutoloGel System. In exchange for this period of exclusivity, we received non-refundable fees totaling $4.5 million. In August 2012, we agreed to the early termination of the exclusivity period and ceased further negotiations. The Company is currently pursuing one or more potential partnerships and commercial agreements for the product with interested parties.

Medicare Reimbursement

A national coverage decision providing CED for autologous PRP was issued by CMS in August 2012. Since 1992, the CMS had maintained a national non-coverage determination for autologous blood derived products in wound care. This severely restricted the markets which AutoloGel could address commercially. In late 2011, based on a significant quantity of additional positive data regarding the effectiveness of AutoloGel, CMS accepted a request presented by Cytomedix, and key opinion leaders in wound care, to reconsider its non-coverage determination. On August 2, 2012, based on the submission of published data and the receipt of supportive public feedback, CMS issued a final National Coverage Determination (“NCD”) for autologous blood-derived products for chronic non-healing wounds. In this final decision memo, CMS confirmed coverage for autologous platelet rich plasma (“PRP”) in patients with diabetic, pressure and/or venous wounds via its CED program. CED is a process through which CMS provides reimbursement for items and services while generating additional clinical data to demonstrate the impact on health outcomes. This determination provides for an appropriate research study with practical study designs that we believe will demonstrate that patients treated with AutoloGel experience positive and clinically significant health outcomes. We believe the achievement of coverage by CMS is a significant development which will positively impact sales revenue and our ability to secure a strategic partner for the broad commercialization of AutoloGel. On March 1, 2013, CMS approved the clinical outcomes in the CED protocols submitted by the Company. This approval allows

TABLE OF CONTENTS

the Company to begin promoting and rolling out the protocols, and assures that physicians will be reimbursed for AutoloGel when used to treat Medicare beneficiaries.

Market

The market for advanced products addressing chronic wounds in the U.S. is estimated to be $2.3 billion annually, with six million wounds (primarily diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, and pressure ulcers) per year. Of this market, PRP treatments are currently used in a small fraction. To date, sales have primarily been in sub-markets with established payment pathways for AutoloGel such as Long-Term Acute Care Hospitals (“LTAC”), Veterans Administration Facilities, and certain state Medicaid Agencies. More than 50% of patients with chronic wounds are Medicare beneficiaries. With Medicare coverage now secured for AutoloGel, in 2013 we plan to expand into outpatient wound care centers. Coverage with evidence development will allow the Company to expand the use of AutoloGel while continuing to demonstrate effectiveness in diabetic ulcers, pressure ulcers, and venous ulcers through the U.S. Wound Registry, an extensive wound registry managed by Intellicure (The Woodlands, TX). Over time, we also plan to further expand the target customer base by seeking reimbursement from commercial third party payors.

Competition

AutoloGel remains the only platelet based system cleared by the FDA for the management of chronic wounds. We believe the formulation is optimized to increase the benefits when used on chronic wounds. Specifically, it produces a platelet-based bioactive gel with a physiologically relevant concentration of platelets at 1.3x baseline, which we believe is the optimal concentration for wound management. All other PRP systems produce platelet concentrates at 3 – 14x baseline. Furthermore, it has a very rapid preparation time of 5 minutes which optimizes its use as a point-of-care therapy. AutoloGel acts as a biologic healing stimulant to restart the healing process in chronic wounds. Non healing ulcers are the most frequent cause of amputation. A randomized controlled trial (RCT) with AutoloGel demonstrated a 81% complete healing rate in common sized diabetic foot ulcers. Over the past few years, multiple additional data sets have been published in peer-reviewed journals and numerous poster and oral presentations have been presented at leading wound care conferences. However, we face a challenging competitive environment.

The chronic wound market is replete with alternative therapies; older therapies that directly compete with AutoloGel and have established habitual use patterns and provider contracts to encourage standardized use. Acceptance of new products, like AutoloGel, has been slow. Also, several suppliers to the chronic wound market have large market share and significant resources to expend on sales and marketing efforts. However, we believe that the positive clinical data amassed to date and the recently obtained Medicare coverage, should position AutoloGel to significantly increase sales and market penetration.

Post-Marketing Surveillance Study

In conjunction with the positive clearance decision from the FDA, we agreed to conduct a post-market surveillance program (The AutoloGel Post-marketing Surveillance or “TAPS”) to further analyze the safety profile of bovine thrombin as used in the AutoloGel System. The TAPS program was initiated in 2008 and the Company began enrolling patients in the TAPS program in late 2009. Since the inception of TAPS, the Company has enrolled 120 patients, noting no adverse events. Based on the additional positive safety data, the Company has suspended further enrollment in this surveillance program.

Product Development

We continue to make progress on a next generation AutoloGel PRP Preparation device, enhancing the separation of blood components to provide the added convenience and effectiveness that treating clinicians are looking for at the point of care. Importantly, the new device allows for the whole blood collection and the separation of the platelet rich plasma to be accomplished with a single specially designed closed syringe system that maintains an aseptic environment. This streamlines the process and improves safety and ease-of-use. The sterilization studies are complete. We expect to file a 510(k) application with the FDA in 2013 upon the completion of platelet characterization and validation studies.

Other Developments

In September 2009, we entered into a license and distribution agreement with Millennia Holdings, Inc. (“Millennia”) for the Company’s AutoloGel System in Japan. Since then, Millennia has been collecting and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

publishing clinical data for regulatory purposes and expanding the utilization of AutoloGel throughout their network. Millennia will either directly distribute AutoloGel for the treatment of a variety of chronic wounds, including diabetic wounds, or assist Cytomedix in securing a partner to address widespread distribution in Japan. Specific commercial terms associated with the sale of products in the Japanese market are to be negotiated in good faith between the parties after certain regulatory milestones are achieved and a further understanding of the market dynamics is obtained. The diabetic population in Japan is estimated to be approximately 22 million.

Angel Product Line

An additional indication from the FDA for processing bone marrow and additional sales resources is expected to contribute to the sales growth of Angel. The Angel cPRP System, acquired from Sorin USA, Inc. (“Sorin”) in April 2010, is designed for single patient use at the point of care, and provides a simple yet flexible means for producing quality PRP and platelet poor plasma (“PPP”) from whole blood or bone marrow. The Angel concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) System is a multi-functional cell separation device which produces concentrated platelet rich plasma for use in the operating room and clinic and is used in a range of orthopedic and cardiovascular indications. Similar to the AutoloGel System, the Angel System is a point of care device for the production of a concentrated, aseptic platelet-based bioactive therapy derived from a small sample of the patient’s own blood. The resulting cPRP is applied at the site of injury to promote healing. Market growth and adoption of the technology is driven by a rapidly expanding base of scientific and clinical literature supporting its use and reports in the popular press of athletes benefitting from treatment. PRP is one of the fastest growing segments in the $1.7 billion U.S. orthobiologics market. An additional indication from the FDA for processing bone marrow and additional sales resources is expected to contribute to the sales growth of Angel. The addition of an indication to process bone marrow, based on a 510(k) clearance from FDA achieved in 2012, provides a safe alternative to bone morphogenic protein (BMP) solutions used in orthopedic surgery.

We have grown worldwide sales of Angel steadily since acquiring the product line in April 2010 and expect this trend to continue. Sales growth to date has been driven by competitive advantages that include flexible PRP volumes, adjustable hematocrit levels, high platelet yields, reduction in pro-inflammatory cells, rapid processing time, and safety. After acquiring Angel, we successfully worked to ensure that we did not experience any net attrition of sales and any major supply chain interruptions, and our integration and transition efforts are now complete. Our focus is on growing sales in both the U. S. and international markets, and seeking efficiencies in the supply chain. We expect that future sales growth of these products will be driven through a combination of a focused marketing effort, strengthened distributor relationships, expanded indications, and direct sales. We expect our international distributors to drive increased sales in the coming quarters. In the long term, we expect new technology applications for Angel and expansion into other surgical and orthopedic applications will provide future growth opportunities.

The Angel product line also includes ancillary products such as phlebotomy and applicator supplies, and activAT®. activAT is designed to produce autologous thrombin serum from platelet poor plasma and is sold exclusively in Europe and Canada, where it provides a safe alternative to bovine-derived products.

Market

Angel was cleared by the FDA in August 2005 and is used primarily in surgical settings, for separation of whole blood into red cells, platelet poor plasma and platelet rich plasma. Historically marketing and sales efforts have been focused primarily on perfusionists and hospitals that use our products in the cardiovascular and orthopedic surgical markets. More recently, the focus of our Angel marketing and sales has been directed to physicians and surgeons. Published reports of use in sports injuries and related indications have been significant growth drivers in the orthopedic clinic market. We are also pursuing opportunities for the application of Angel into other markets such as aesthetics and veterinary applications.

According to GlobalData’s May 2010 report, “Platelet Rich Plasma: Market Snapshot”, the current estimated market in the U.S. for PRP in surgical applications is estimated to be approximately $75 million. It is projected to grow at 14% annually over the next several years.

The 510(k) clearance for bone marrow aspirate processing increases our ability to support and advance markets within personalized regenerative medicine. Samples of bone marrow aspirate are routinely collected

TABLE OF CONTENTS

using a needle to obtain a small amount of the soft sponge like fluid found inside of bones. Aspirated bone marrow is frequently used with bone grafting procedures and bone grafts are widely used to treat conditions associated with bone loss and delayed union and nonunion fractures. In the U.S., approximately 400,000 spinal fusion procedures are performed each year and the application of bone marrow or bone marrow concentrates has been the historical gold standard. Concentrated PRP produced from blood and bone marrow may be used in up to 90% of spinal fusion procedures. The biologics market associated with spinal fusion procedures is approximately $700 million annually.

Product Development

In November 2012, we obtained a second 510(k) clearance for our Angel cPRP System for processing a mixture of blood and bone marrow aspirate. PRP produced from either blood or a mixture of bone marrow aspirate may be combined with bone graft material and used in appropriate orthopedic procedures, such as spinal fusion, healing of nonunion bone fractures and other bone grafting applications.

Long-term, we expect to seek FDA clearance for additional indications for Angel. We continue to develop clinical data through our interactions with key opinion leaders that will help inform our efforts in this regard.

Competition

We believe Angel has several competitive advantages compared with other commercially available PRP systems including: 1) high platelet yields, 2) significant reduction in pro-inflammatory cells, 3) rapid processing time, 4) adjustable hematocrit from 0% – 25%, and 5) flexible final cPRP volumes. Proprietary software automatically adjusts the separation parameters to deliver a consistent, high-quality product. Closed system processing helps asure a safe and aseptic product.

A number of our competitors are larger companies, with established market share and greater resources to expand sales and marketing efforts. Companies with competing systems include Harvest Technologies (a subsidiary of Terumo), Biomet, Arteriocyte, and Arthrex. We believe the advantages listed above will facilitate an increase in our competitive position and market share.

Suppliers

We outsource manufacturing for all of our commercial products. We utilize single suppliers for several products that have a complicated manufacturing process and are critical to the Company — specifically, our Angel whole blood processing sets and Angel centrifuge devices. We are in the process of formulating a plan to develop redundant capabilities, but that may not take effect until after 2013. Most of the components of AutoloGel are readily available and, therefore, the Company believes that, with one exception, no dependencies exist from its current sourcing practices. The one exception is a reagent, bovine thrombin, available exclusively through Pfizer.

Customer Concentration

In 2012, Cytomedix recorded sales to approximately 264 customers, including distributors. In 2012, no single customer accounted for more than 5% of total product sales and the top 10 customers represented approximately 25% of total product sales.

ALDH^br Cell Technology and Development Pipeline

The ALDH^br (Bright Cell) technology is a novel approach to cell-based regenerative medicine and a logical extension of our commercial technologies in the evolving regenerative medicine market, with potential clinical indications in large markets with significant unmet medical needs such as peripheral arterial disease and ischemic stroke. The Bright Cell technology is unique in that it utilizes an intracellular enzyme marker to facilitate fractionation of essential regenerative cells from a patient’s bone marrow. This core technology was originally licensed by Aldagen from Duke University and Johns Hopkins University. The proprietary bone marrow fractionation process identifies and isolates active stem and progenitor cells expressing high levels of the enzyme aldehyde dehydrogenase, or ALDH, which is a key enzyme involved in the regulation of gene activities associated with cell proliferation and differentiation. These autologous, selected biologically instructive cells have the potential to promote the repair and regeneration of multiple types of cells and tissues, including the growth of new blood vessels, or angiogenesis, which is critical to the generation of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

healthy tissue. We acquired the Bright Cell technology with the acquisition of Aldagen in February 2012 in an all equity transaction valued, based on our volume weighted common stock price at the time of acquisition, at approximately $40 million in up-front and contingent consideration.

Our lead product candidate, ALD-401, is an autologous preparation of Bright Cells for the post-acute treatment of ischemic stroke. ALD-401 is currently being evaluated in the RECOVER-Stroke clinical study, an ongoing 100-patient, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 study in patients with unilateral, cerebral ischemic stroke with an NIH stroke scale score of less than 22. In this study a single infusion of ALD-401 is delivered via the carotid artery, 13 to 19 days post the ischemic event. The trial is being conducted at up to 15 sites in the U.S. The primary endpoint of the trial is safety and the efficacy endpoint is post-stroke recovery of neural function based on the modified Rankin Scale at three months post treatment.

In May 2012, we completed the initial safety stage of the study. The independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) reviewing the safety data recommended that the Phase 2 trial of ALD-401 can continue as designed. Additional DSMB reviews are scheduled upon enrollment of 30 and 60 patients per the clinical protocol. We are in the process of expanding the study beyond the current 10 active sites. We expect to complete enrollment by the end of 2013 and to have top-line data approximately four months following completion of enrollment.

In July 2012, we announced the initiation of a Phase 1 clinical study with ALD-451, an autologous preparation of Bright Cells, in brain cancer patients in collaboration with Duke University Medical Center. The open-label study will enroll up to 12 patients and is intended to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of ALD-451 when administered intravenously in patients with World Health Organization (“WHO”) grade IV malignant glioma following surgery, radiation therapy and treatment with temozolomide. The trial is anticipated to provide an initial description of the effects of ALD-451 on neurocognition. The clinical study is open for enrollment having received Investigational New Drug approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Investigational Review Board clearance from Duke University Medical Center. Cytomedix will be responsible for manufacturing ALD-451 for the clinical trial. Duke University Medical Center, through the Robertson Clinical & Translational Cell Therapy Program, will fund the trial and be responsible for all other aspects of the study.

An additional product candidate, ALD-301, is in clinical development for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), a condition causing reduced flow of blood and oxygen to muscles in the leg. We have completed a Phase 1/2 study of autologous ALD-301 in critical limb ischemia (“CLI”), a late stage condition caused by PAD. The results showed improvement in limb perfusion as well as improvements in key parameters measuring CLI severity, and was published in the journal Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions. In December 2012, we announced the signing of an agreement with NIH to collaborate on a Phase 2 clinical study in patients with intermittent claudication (IC), an earlier stage condition caused by PAD and often a precursor to CLI. The study is being funded by National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute of the U.S. National Institutes of Health and managed by the Cardiovascular Cell Therapy Research Network (CCTRN), which is also responsible for enrolling patients. The CCTRN is a network that includes seven centers in the United States with experience and expertise in stem cell clinical trials studying treatments for cardiovascular and related diseases.

The Phase 2 PACE (Patients with Intermittent Claudication Injected with ALDH Bright Cells) study is an 80 patient, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial intended to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of ALD-301 (Bright Cells) in patients diagnosed with IC. The primary endpoints of the study are safety and the change in peak walking time at 6 months compared to baseline. Additionally, changes in leg collateral arterial anatomy, calf muscle blood flow, and tissue perfusion as determined by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) will be examined. These novel MRI techniques are incorporated into the study to assess perfusion, providing a unique set of data potentially supporting the angiogenic mechanism of Bright Cells. The clinical study has received Investigational New Drug approval from the FDA and is expected to begin enrollment in Q1 2013 upon the Investigational Review Board approvals from the participating centers. We expect to complete enrollment by the end of 2013 and to have top-line data approximately seven months following completion of enrollment.

Government Regulation

Government authorities in the United States, Canada, the European Union, and other countries extensively regulate pharmaceutical products, biologics, and medical devices. The Company’s products and product candidates are subject to clearance and monitoring by the governing bodies prior to and during the marketing and distribution of product. Regulatory requirements apply to, but are not limited to, research and development, safety and efficacy, clinical studies, manufacture, labeling, distribution, marketing, and the import and export of products. Before a product candidate is approved by the governing bodies for commercial marketing, rigorous preclinical and human clinical testing is conducted to determine the safety and efficacy or effectiveness of the product. If the Company fails to comply with the applicable laws and regulations at any time during the product development process, approval process, or during commercialization, it may become subject to administrative and/or judicial sanctions. These sanctions may include, but are not limited do, refusal to approve pending applications, withdrawals of approvals, clinical holds, warning letters, product recalls, product seizures, total or partial suspension of the Company’s operations, injunctions, fines, civil penalties and/or criminal prosecution. Any enforcement action could have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Medical Device Regulation

The Company currently manufactures and distributes the AutoloGel and Angel Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) Systems. As such, these and future products manufactured and/or distributed by the Company may be subject to regulations by the appropriate governing bodies, including but not limited to, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, Health Canada, the European Medicines Agency, the Japanese Ministry of Health & Welfare, and other regulatory agencies. The Company currently has modest operations and business development initiatives outside of the United States. Each of the governing bodies, noted above, serve a similar function as FDA. As such, the Company and its product are subject to the regulations enforced by the outside governing bodies. These regulations include, but are not limited to, product clearance, documentation requirements, good manufacturing practices and medical device reporting. Labeling and promotional activities are also subject to regulation by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, in certain circumstances. Current enforcement policies prohibit the marketing of approved medical devices for unapproved uses. Each governing body reviews 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 obtain clearance or approval, depending upon the device classification. In the U.S., medical devices are classified into one of three classes — Class I, II or III. The regulations enforced by FDA and/or the appropriate governing bodies to the medical device(s) provide reasonable assurance that the device is safe and effective. In the U.S., 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 current good manufacturing practices (“cGMP”) based on FDA’s Quality Systems Regulations. Most Class I devices are exempt from pre-market notification and some are also exempt from cGMP 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 additional controls. Additional 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 FDA. Generally, Class III devices are limited to life-sustaining, life-supporting or implantable devices. All of the governing bodies with responsibility over the Company’s products have the ability to inspect medical device manufacturers, order recalls of medical devices, 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 medical devices intended for human use to file a notice with 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

TABLE OF CONTENTS

510(k) must include data from human clinical studies 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. Cytomedix currently markets only products that are subject to 510(k) clearance.

The Company currently markets the AutoloGel System Centrifuge II, the AutoloGel Wound Dressing Kit, the AutoloGel Hair Restoration Kit, and AutoloGel Reagent Kit, and the Angel Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) System. Each System’s component is a legally-marketed product that has been cleared by FDA and/or the appropriate governing body. The AutoloGel System Centrifuge II, when used with the AutoloGel Wound Dressing Kit and AutoloGel Reagent Kit, are suitable for use on exuding wounds such as leg ulcers, pressure ulcers and diabetic ulcers and for the management of mechanically or surgically-debrided wounds. The Angel Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) System consists of the Angel system centrifuge, the Angel cPRP Processing Set, the Whole Blood Access Kit, and the activAT Autologous Thrombin Kit, if applicable. The Angel Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) System has been cleared for the separation of whole blood or a small amount of whole blood and bone marrow into red cells, platelet poor plasma and platelet rich plasma.

During 2004, the Company initiated a prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled trial for the AutoloGel System. The objective of the trial was to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the scientific and reimbursement community, as well as to FDA, of the AutoloGel System for use on diabetic foot ulcers. In initiating this trial the Company subjected itself to increased FDA oversight and regulations governing the investigational use of medical devices, codified in 21 C.F.R. Part 812. To this end, the Company submitted an Investigational Device Exemption (“IDE”) application to FDA under these rules and obtained approval of this IDE on March 5, 2004, thus allowing the Company to begin its clinical trial. Once the study was complete and the clinical results analyzed, the Company submitted a 510(k) requesting FDA’s clearance of the AutoloGel System in January 2006. Clearance was received in September 2007.

In April 2010, the Company acquired the Angel Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) System (formerly known as the Angel Whole Blood Separation System) from Sorin Group (Italy). The transfer and distribution of the product is an on-going process that is subject to FDA, Health Canada, European Medicines Agency and other regulations specific to the individual marketed areas. The Angel Concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) System was granted FDA 510(k) clearance for processing blood and bone marrow aspirate in November 2012. It received similar clearances from the European and Australian regulatory authorities in November 2012 and February 2013, respectively.

As a specification developer, manufacturer and distributor of medical devices, Cytomedix is subject to and complies with, among other standards and regulations, 21 CFR of the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, ISO 13485, and the Medical Device Directive. As a manufacturer and distributor of medical devices, the Company, and in some instances its subcontractors, is required to register its facilities and products manufactured annually with the appropriate governing bodies and certain state agencies. Additionally, the Company is subject to periodic inspections by the governing bodies to assess compliance with cGMP regulations. Facilities may also be subject to inspections by other federal, foreign, state or local agencies. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money, and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP and other aspects of regulatory compliance.

Bio-pharmaceutical Product Regulation

The Company’s ALDH Bright Cells product candidates, recently acquired from Aldagen, and other bio-pharmaceuticals it may develop are also regulated by FDA. Under the United States regulatory scheme, the development process for new such products can be divided into two distinct phases:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Phase 1.  In Phase 1 clinical trials, typically a small number of healthy individuals (although in some instances individuals with the disease or condition for which an indication is being sought for the product candidate are enrolled) are tested with the product candidate to determine safety and tolerability and includes biological analyses to determine the availability and metabolism of the active ingredient following administration.

Phase 2.  Phase 2 clinical trials involve administering the product candidate to individuals who suffer from the target disease or condition to determine the optimal dose and potential efficacy. These clinical trials are well controlled, closely monitored, and conducted in a relatively small number of patients, usually involving no more than several hundred subjects.

Phase 3.  Phase 3 clinical trials are performed after preliminary evidence suggesting efficacy of a product candidate has been obtained and safety, tolerability, and an optimal dosing regimen have been established. Phase 3 clinical trials are intended to gather additional information about efficacy and safety that is needed to evaluate the overall benefit-risk relationship and to complete the information needed to provide adequate instructions for the use of the product candidate. Phase 3 trials usually include from several hundred to a few thousand subjects.

Throughout the clinical phase, samples of the product made in different batches are tested for stability to establish shelf life constraints. In addition, large-scale production protocols and written standard operating procedures for each aspect of commercial manufacture and testing must be developed. These trials require scale up for manufacture of increasingly larger batches of bulk chemical. These batches require validation analyses to confirm the consistent composition of the product.

Phase 1, 2, and 3 testing may not be completed successfully within any specified time period, if at all. The FDA closely monitors the progress of each of the three phases of clinical trials that are conducted under an IND and may, at its discretion, reevaluate, alter, suspend (place on “clinical hold”), or terminate the trials based upon the data accumulated to that point and the agency’s assessment of the risk/benefit ratio to the patient. The FDA may suspend or terminate clinical trials at any time for various reasons, including a finding that the subjects or patients are being exposed to an unacceptable health risk. The FDA can also request that additional clinical trials be conducted as a condition to product approval. Additionally, new government requirements may be established that could delay or prevent regulatory approval of products under development. Furthermore, IRBs, which are independent entities constituted to protect human subjects at the institutions in which clinical trials are being conducted, have the authority to suspend clinical trials at their respective institutions at any time for a variety of reasons, including safety issues.

After the successful completion of Phase 3 clinical trials, the sponsor of the new bio-pharmaceutical submits a Biologics License Application (“BLA”) to the FDA requesting approval to market the product for one or more indications. A BLA is a comprehensive, multi-volume application that includes, among other things, the results of all preclinical studies and clinical trials, information about the product candidate’s composition and manufacturing, and the sponsor’s plans for manufacturing, packaging, and labeling the drug. Under the Pediatric Research Equity Act of 2003, an application also is required to include an assessment, generally based on clinical study data, of the safety and efficacy of product candidates for all relevant pediatric populations before the BLA is submitted. The statute provides for waivers or deferrals in certain situations. In most cases, the BLA must be accompanied by a substantial user fee. In return, the FDA assigns a goal of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

10 months from acceptance of the application to return of a first “complete response,” in which FDA may approve the product or request additional information.

The submission of the application is no guarantee that the FDA will find it complete and accept it for filing. The FDA reviews all BLA’s submitted before it accepts them for filing. It may refuse to accept the application and request additional information rather than accept the application for filing, in which case, the application must be resubmitted with the supplemental information. After the application is deemed filed and accepted by the FDA, agency staff reviews a BLA to determine, among other things, whether a product is safe and efficacious for its intended use. The FDA has substantial discretion in the approval process and may disagree with an applicant’s interpretation of the data submitted in its BLA. As part of this review, the FDA may refer the application to an appropriate advisory committee, typically a panel of physicians, for review, evaluation, and an approval recommendation. The FDA is not bound by the opinion of the advisory committee. Products that successfully complete BLA review and receive clearance (i.e., approval) may be marketed in the United States, subject to all conditions imposed by the FDA.

Prior to granting approval, the FDA conducts an inspection of the facilities, including outsourced facilities, that will be involved in the manufacture, production, packaging, testing, and control of the product candidate for cGMP compliance. The FDA will not approve the application unless cGMP compliance is satisfactory. If FDA determines that the marketing application, manufacturing process, or manufacturing facilities are not acceptable, it will outline the deficiencies in the submission and will often request additional testing or information. Notwithstanding the submission of any requested additional information, the FDA ultimately may decide that the marketing application does not satisfy the regulatory criteria for approval and refuse to approve the application by issuing a “not approvable” letter. The length of the FDA’s review may range from a few months to several years.

If the FDA approves the BLA, the product becomes available for physicians to prescribe in the United States. After approval, the BLA holder is still subject to continuing regulation by the FDA, including record keeping requirements, submitting periodic reports to the FDA, reporting of any adverse experiences with the product, and complying with drug sampling and distribution requirements. In addition, the BLA holder is required to maintain and provide updated safety and efficacy information to the FDA. The BLA holder is also required to comply with requirements concerning advertising and promotional labeling, including prohibitions against promoting any non-FDA approved or “off-label” indications of products. Failure to comply with those requirements could result in significant enforcement action by the FDA, including warning letters, orders to pull the promotional materials, and substantial fines. Also, quality control and manufacturing procedures must continue to conform to cGMP after approval.

Biologics manufacturers and their subcontractors are required to register their facilities and products manufactured annually with the FDA and certain state agencies and are subject to periodic unannounced inspections by the FDA to assess compliance with cGMP regulations. Facilities may also be subject to inspections by other federal, foreign, state or local agencies. Accordingly, manufacturers must continue to expend time, money, and effort in the area of production and quality control to maintain compliance with cGMP and other aspects of regulatory compliance.

In addition, following the FDA approval of a product, discovery of problems with a product or the failure to comply with requirements may result in restrictions on a product, manufacturer, or holder of an approved marketing application, including withdrawal or recall of the product from the market or other voluntary or the FDA-initiated action that could delay further marketing. Newly discovered or developed safety or effectiveness data may require changes to a product’s approved labeling, including the addition of new warnings and contra-indications. Also, FDA may require post-market testing and surveillance to monitor the product’s safety or effectiveness, including additional clinical studies, known as Phase 4 trials, to evaluate long-term effects.

Other regulatory agencies, including Health Canada and the European Medicines Agency, require preclinical and clinical studies, manufacturing validation, facilities inspection, and post-approval record keeping and reporting similar to FDA requirements. In some instances, data generated for consideration by the FDA may be submitted to these agencies for their consideration for approvals in other countries.

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 U.S. 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 U.S. 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.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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

Prior to the Aldagen acquisition in February 2012, the Company focused its resources primarily on broad commercialization of AutoloGel, as well as integration and sales growth of the Angel product line. It therefore expended only limited amounts on research and development activities (“R&D”). The Company currently has development projects underway to enhance and broaden indications for the AutoloGel System which will further strengthen our competitive edge in the chronic wound market.

In addition to a continued modest amount of R&D spending relating to our existing commercial products, we expect significant additional expenditures to support the development and trial related activities of the ALDH Bright Cell line as described above.

The Company incurred approximately $3,386,000 and $98,000 in total R&D expenses in 2012 and 2011, respectively. Note that these figures do not include salaries and wages, which are included in the Salaries and Wages line in our Statements of Operations, and the allocation of overhead and other indirect costs, which are included in the General and Administrative Expenses line in our Statements of Operations.

Employees

The Company has approximately 50 employees, including the Company’s management. The remaining personnel primarily consist of scientific, sales and marketing, accounting, clinical, operational, and administrative professionals. None of the Company’s employees is covered by a collective bargaining agreement or represented by a labor union. The Company considers its employee relations to be good.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

The Company faces many risks. The risks described below may not be the only risks the Company faces. Additional risks not yet known or currently believed to be immaterial may also impair Cytomedix’s business. If any of the events or circumstances described in the following risks actually occurs, the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations could suffer, and the trading price of its Common stock could decline. You should consider the following risks, together with all of the other information in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, before making an investment decision with respect to Cytomedix securities.

We Have Limited Sources of Working Capital

Working capital required to implement our business plan will most likely be provided by funds obtained through offerings of our equity and/or equity-linked securities, and revenues generated by us. No assurance can be given that we will have revenues sufficient to support and sustain our operations or that we would be able to obtain equity financing in the current economic environment. If we do not have sufficient working capital and are unable to generate sufficient revenues or raise additional funds, we may delay the completion of or significantly reduce the scope of our current business plan; delay some of our development and clinical or marketing efforts; delay our plans to penetrate the market serving Medicare beneficiaries and fulfill the related data gathering requirement as stipulated by the Medicare CED coverage determination; delay the pursuit of commercial insurance reimbursement for our wound treatment technologies; delay certain development activities related to the newly acquired Aldagen business; or postpone the hiring of new personnel; or, under certain dire financial circumstances, cease our operations.

We May Need Substantial Additional Financing, Which May Be Provided By Amounts Raised Under Existing Financing Agreements

We may need substantial additional capital to fund our operations. To date, we have relied almost exclusively on financing transactions to fund losses from our operations. Our inability to obtain sufficient additional financing would have a material adverse effect on our ability to implement our business plan and, as a result, could require us to diminish or suspend activities. At December 31, 2012, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $2.6 million, total current assets of approximately $6.4 million and total current liabilities of approximately $2.8 million. In February 2013, we received gross proceeds of $9.5 million upon the closing of several financing transactions. These financings provide for additional potential infusions as more fully discussed in the subsequent events note to the financial statements contained in this 10-K. Based on our current operating plan, we believe we have sufficient cash through the end of 2013, but anticipate needing additional capital in 2014. However, our projections could be wrong. We could face unforeseen costs or our revenues could fall short of our projections.

On February 18, 2013, the Company entered into a purchase agreement, together with a registration rights agreement, with LPC. Under this agreement, the Company has the right to sell to and LPC is obligated to purchase up to $15 million in shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations, from time to time, over the 30 month period commencing on the date that a registration statement is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed (expected to occur in the second quarter of 2013). Given the parameters within which the Company may draw down from LPC, there is no assurance that the amounts available from LPC will be sufficient to fund our future operational cash flow needs.

Further, in February 2013, in a registered offering with certain institutional accredited investors, we raised gross proceeds of $5 million by selling our common stock and warrants. In addition, on February 19, 2013, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with certain institutional accredited investors and a Credit and Security Agreement with Midcap Financial LLC. The Credit and Security Agreement provides for aggregate term loan commitments of $7.5 million. The Company received the first tranche of $4.5 million at closing. The second tranche of $3.0 million may be advanced to the Company, at the Company’s discretion, upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) if the Company achieves certain performance milestones for 2013 and (ii) raises an amount of not less than $5.0 million in the aggregate from (a) equity investors, and/or (b) partnership proceeds on or before July 31, 2013. The term loan will mature on August 19, 2016, and will be repaid on a straight-line amortization basis, with the first twelve months being an interest-only period and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

commencing on the thirteenth month the principal on both the first tranche and, if applicable, on the second tranche, will be amortized in equal monthly amounts through the maturity date.

New sources of capital may not be available to us when we need them or may be available only on terms we would not find acceptable. Additional financing will likely cause dilution to our stockholders and could involve the issuance of securities with rights senior to the outstanding shares. There is no assurance that such financing will be sufficient, that the financing will be available on terms acceptable to us and at such times as required, or that we will be able to obtain the additional financing required, if any, for the continued operation and growth of our business. Any inability to raise necessary capital will have a material adverse effect on our ability to implement our business strategy and will have a material adverse effect on our revenues and net income.

We May Not Be Able to Comply with the Debt Service and Loan Covenant Requirements of the MidCap Credit and Security Agreement Which Could Place the Business Assets of the Company in Jeopardy

The MidCap Credit and Security Agreement requires monthly interest payments and compliance with certain covenants, including achieving revenue milestones and future capital infusions (either from the issuance of equity securities or strategic partnership agreements). Failure to make interest payments when due or to comply with the covenants could trigger a default under the agreement, which in turn could allow MidCap to seize all or any of the business assets of the Company which serve as collateral for this loan. If any key assets are seized, it would have a material adverse effect on the Company, including the complete cessation of operations, and/or bankruptcy.

We Are Subject to the SEC’s Penny Stock Rules Which May Decrease the Liquidity of Our Common Stock.

We were previously operating under a compliance plan intended to allow us to regain compliance with the NYSE Amex’s stockholders’ equity requirement. On January 20, 2011, the Company notified the NYSE Amex staff of its intent to withdraw the request for a hearing and the NYSE Amex notified the Company that its stock would cease being listed on or about January 26, 2011.

Over-the-counter markets are generally considered to be less efficient than, and not as broad as, a stock exchange. There may be a limited market for our stock now that it is quoted on the OTCQX, trading in our stock may become more difficult and our share price could decrease. Specifically, shareholders may not be able to resell their shares of common stock at or above the price paid for such shares or at all.

In addition, our ability to raise additional capital may be impaired because of the less liquid nature of the over-the-counter markets. While we cannot guarantee that we would be able to complete an equity financing on acceptable terms, or at all, we believe that dilution from any equity financing while our shares are quoted on an over-the-counter market could be substantially greater than if we were to complete a financing while our common stock is traded on a national securities exchange. Further, now that our stock is not traded on an exchange, we may not be eligible to use short-form registration statements on Form S-3 for the registration of our securities, which could impair our ability to raise additional capital as needed.

Our common stock is also subject to penny stock rules, which impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our common stock. The SEC generally defines “penny stock” as an equity security that has a market price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions. The ability of broker-dealers to sell our common stock and the ability of our stockholders to sell their shares in the secondary market will be limited and, as a result, the market liquidity for our common stock will likely be adversely affected. We cannot assure shareholders that trading in our securities will not be subject to these or other regulations in the future.

We May Not Be Able to Successfully Integrate the Aldagen Business, or to Realize the Anticipated Synergies of the Combined Businesses

The acquisition of Aldagen represents a significant investment by the Company. Although it comes with a complete infrastructure, including personnel, to proceed with its development plans, it will require significant attention and resources of non-Aldagen Cytomedix personnel which could reduce the likelihood of achievement of other corporate goals. The additional financing needs created by the Aldagen acquisition will

TABLE OF CONTENTS

also require additional management time to address. There is no assurance that we will, on a sustainable basis, successfully integrate any or all of the various aspects to the acquired business, including but not limited to the clinical trial, manufacturing, regulatory, finance, human resource, and other functions. Failure to smoothly and successfully integrate and maintain the acquired business could lead to a reduction in revenue for the Angel®, ActivAT®, and AutoloGel^TM, products compared to historical levels, generate ill will among our customer base, and therefore have a material adverse affect on us, our operations or the price of our common stock. There is no assurance that the development efforts underway with the Aldagen technology will be successful. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will realize synergies in the scientific, clinical, regulatory, or other areas as we currently contemplate. In addition, there is no assurance that we will realize any anticipated economies of scale for the combined businesses.

We are Reliant on Several Single Source Suppliers and an Interruption in Our Supply Chain Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Business

Cytomedix is outsourcing the manufacturing of the various products, including component parts, composing the Angel Product Line to contract manufacturers. While we believe these manufacturers to be of sufficient competency, quality, reliability, and stability, there is no assurance that one or more of them will not experience an interruption or inability to provide us with the products needed to satisfy customer demand. Additionally, while most of the components of AutoloGel^TM are generally readily available on the open market, a reagent, bovine thrombin, is available exclusively through Pfizer, Inc. (“Pfizer”). If a temporary or permanent interruption in the supply of products were to occur, it would have a material adverse effect on our business. While we are formulating plans to develop redundant capabilities, such capabilities will not take effect for the foreseeable future. While the Company does maintain business interruption insurance, there is no assurance that such insurance will be sufficient to cover all losses which would occur as a result of any interruption in supply.

Adverse Conditions in the Global Economy and Disruption of Financial Markets May Significantly Restrict Our Ability to Generate Revenues or Obtain Debt or Equity Financing

The global economy continues to experience volatility and uncertainty. Such conditions could reduce demand for our products which would significantly jeopardize our ability to achieve meaningful market penetration for AutoloGel^TM and continued sales of Angel® and ActivAT® products. These conditions could also affect our potential strategic partners, which, in turn, could make it much more difficult to execute a strategic collaboration, and therefore significantly jeopardize our ability to fully develop and commercialize our products and product candidates. Global credit and capital markets continue to be relatively challenging. We may be unable to obtain capital through issuance of our equity and/or equity-linked securities, a significant source of funding for us throughout our history. If we are unable to secure funding through strategic collaborations, equity investments, or debt financing, we may not be able to achieve profitability, or fund our research and development activities, which may result in a cessation of operations.

Business credit and liquidity have tightened in much of the world. Volatility and disruption of financial markets could limit our customers’ ability to obtain adequate financing or credit to purchase and pay for our products in a timely manner, or to maintain operations, and result in a decrease in sales volume. General concerns about the fundamental soundness of domestic and international economies may also cause customers to reduce purchases. Changes in governmental banking, monetary and fiscal policies to restore liquidity and increase credit availability may not be effective. Economic conditions and market turbulence may also impact our suppliers’ ability to supply sufficient quantities of product components in a timely manner, which could impair our ability to fulfill sales orders. It is difficult to determine the extent of the economic and financial market problems and the many ways in which they may affect our suppliers, customers, investors, and business in general. Continuation or further deterioration of these financial and macroeconomic conditions could significantly harm sales, profitability and results of operations.

Economic downturns or other adverse economic changes (local, regional, or national) can also hurt our financial performance in the form of lower interest earned on investments and/or could result in losses of portions of principal in our investment portfolio. While our investment policy requires us to invest only in short-term, low risk investments, there is no assurance that principal will not be eroded as a significant portion of these investments is in excess of federally mandated insurance.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We Have a History of Losses and Expect to Incur Losses for the Foreseeable Future

We have a history of losses, are not currently profitable, and expect to incur substantial losses and negative operating cash flows in the future. Although, prior to the Aldagen acquisition, we were targeting operational cash flow break-even within the foreseeable future, the acquisition of Aldagen, and the expenditures necessary to fund the on-going clinical trial and related activities, will cause us to continue to generate losses. We may never generate sufficient revenues to achieve and maintain profitability. We will continue to incur expenses at current or increased levels as we seek to expand our operations, pursue development of our technologies, work to increase our sales, implement internal systems and infrastructure, and hire additional personnel. These ongoing financial losses may adversely affect our stock price.

We Have a Short Operating History and Limited Operating Experience

We must be evaluated in light of the uncertainties and complexities affecting an early stage biotechnology company. We have, only in the past few years, implemented our commercialization strategy for AutoloGel^TM and have only two year’s experience operating the fully integrated Angel® and ActivAT® business. Thus, we have a very limited operating history. Continued operating losses, together with the risks associated with our ability to gain new customers for our product offerings, may have a material adverse effect on our liquidity. We may also be forced to respond to unforeseen difficulties, such as a decreased demand for our products and services, downward pricing trends, regulatory requirements and unanticipated market pressures. Since emerging from bankruptcy and continuing through today, we are developing a business model that includes protecting our patent position, addressing our third-party reimbursement issues, developing and executing a sales and marketing program, acquiring synergistic technologies and product lines, developing other technologies covered by, or derived from, our intellectual property, and seeking strategic partnerships. There can be no assurance that our business model in its current form can accomplish our stated goals.

Our Intellectual Property Assets Are Critical to Our Success

We regard our patents, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property assets as critical to our success. We rely 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 our intellectual property. We attempt to prevent disclosure of our trade secrets by restricting access to sensitive information and requiring employees, consultants, and other persons with access to our sensitive information to sign confidentiality agreements. Despite these efforts, we may not be able to prevent misappropriation of our technology or deter others from developing similar technology in the future. Furthermore, policing the unauthorized use of our intellectual property assets is difficult and expensive. Litigation has been necessary in the past and may be necessary in the future in order to protect our intellectual property assets. Litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources. We can provide no assurance that we will be successful in any litigation matter relating to our intellectual property assets. Continuing litigation or other challenges could result in one or more of our patents being declared invalid. In such a case, any royalty revenues from the affected patents would be adversely affected although we may still be able to continue to develop and market our products. Furthermore, the unauthorized use of our patented technology by otherwise potential customers in our target markets may significantly undermine our ability to generate sales. Any infringement on or challenge to our patents or other misappropriation of our intellectual property assets could have a material adverse affect on our ability to increase sales of our commercial products and/or continue the development of our pipeline candidates.

Our Products are Subject to Governmental Regulation

Our success is also impacted by factors outside of our control. Our current technology and products are 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, our devices and bio-pharmaceutical products 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 clearance or 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 our products are used could materially and adversely affect our ability to sell products in those states. The

TABLE OF CONTENTS

FDA will require us to obtain clearance or approval of new devices when used for treating specific wounds or marketed with specific wound healing claims, or for other products under development.

We believe all our products for sale are legally marketed. As we expand and offer and/or develop additional products in the United States and in foreign countries, clearance or approval from the FDA and comparable foreign regulatory authorities prior to introduction of any such products into the market may be required. We provide no assurance that we 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 our business and financial condition.

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

Clinical Trials May Fail to Demonstrate the Safety or Efficacy of Our Product Candidates

Our product candidates are subject to the risks of failure inherent in the development of biotherapeutic products. The results of early-stage clinical trials do not necessarily predict the results of later-stage clinical trials. Product candidates in later-stage clinical trials may fail to demonstrate desired safety and efficacy traits despite having successfully progressed through initial clinical testing. Even if we believe the data collected from clinical trials of its product candidates is promising, this data may not be sufficient to support approval by the U.S. or foreign regulatory agencies. Pre-clinical and clinical data can be interpreted in different ways. Accordingly, the regulatory officials could reach different conclusions in assessing such data, which could delay, limit or prevent regulatory approval. In addition, the U.S. regulatory authorities or we may suspend or terminate clinical trials at any time. Any failure or delay in completing clinical trials for product candidates, or in receiving regulatory approval for the sale of any product candidates, has the potential to materially harm our business, and may prevent it from raising necessary, additional financing that may be needed in the future.

A Disruption in Healthcare Provider Networks Could Have an Adverse Effect on Operations and Profitability

Our operations and future profitability are dependent, in large part, upon the ability to contract with healthcare providers on favorable terms. In any particular service area, healthcare providers could refuse to contract with Cytomedix or take other actions that could result in higher healthcare costs, or create difficulties in meeting our regulatory requirements. In some service areas, certain healthcare providers may have a significant market presence. If healthcare providers refuse to contract with us, use their market position to negotiate unfavorable contracts or place us at a competitive disadvantage, our ability to market services or to be profitable in those service areas could be adversely affected. Provider networks could also be disrupted by the financial insolvency of a large healthcare provider group. Any disruption in provider networks could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our Sales and Marketing Strategy for the AutoloGel^TM System May Not Succeed

Since January 2009, the sales and marketing strategy for AutoloGel focused on intensive clinician to clinician interaction with both prospective and existing customers, and the scientific explanation of AutoloGel^TM’s mechanism of action. However, the primary goal of this effort was to help secure the additional data necessary to obtain Medicare coverage. In August 2012, CMS agreed to cover Autologel under its CED program. Cytomedix, therefore, intends to expand its sales efforts to address the Medicare beneficiary population. This will require selling to wound care clinics, individual physician practices, and other venues that have traditionally not been available to Cytomedix due to the previously standing non-coverage determination by CMS. There is no assurance that the Company’s efforts in this new sales channel will be successful or that it will yield sufficient sales and profits to realize the Company’s goals and conform to its plans. The Company is currently in discussions with several large companies regarding potential strategic partnerships regarding the broad commercialization of AutoloGel. The resources and expertise of such a partner would greatly facilitate the capture of market share within the wound car market, but would require that the economic benefits of such a broad penetration would be shared with said partner. There is no assurance that we will be successful in securing a partner. Furthermore, there is no assurance that if a partner is secured, that the partnership will

TABLE OF CONTENTS

attain the market penetration contemplated or that the profits ultimately realized by Cytomedix will be sufficient to allow us to execute our business strategy.

Our Efforts to Secure Medicare Reimbursement May Not be Successful

The AutoloGel System is marketed to healthcare providers. Some of these providers, in turn, seek reimbursement from third-party payers such as Medicare, Medicaid, and other private insurers. 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 March 2008, CMS reaffirmed its 2003 non-coverage determination for autologous platelet rich plasma, which would include AutoloGel. Since then we have gathered additional data and officially requested that CMS reconsider its non-coverage determination. In November 2011, CMS officially agreed to reconsider coverage for autologous blood therapies for the treatment of chronic wounds. On August 2, 2012, CMS issued a final National Coverage Determination (“NCD”) for autologous blood-derived products for chronic non-healing wounds. In the NCD, CMS approved coverage for autologous platelet rich plasma (“PRP”) in patients with diabetic, pressure and/or venous wounds via its Coverage with Evidence Development (“CED”) program. CED is a process through which CMS provides reimbursement coverage for items and services while generating additional clinical data to demonstrate their impact on health outcomes. We provide no assurance that we will ultimately be successful with this strategy and that CMS will determine that the evidence collected under CED is sufficient to provide unrestricted Medicare coverage for autologous PRP. If it is later determined that a new randomized, controlled trial is necessary, it could cost several millions of dollars and take multiple years to complete. We would almost certainly need to obtain additional, outside financing to fund such a trial. In any case, we may never be successful in securing unrestricted Medicare coverage for our products.

The Successful Continued Commercialization of Our AutoloGel System and Angel and of Any Future Product Candidates Will Depend on Obtaining Reimbursement from Third-party Payors

In the United States, the market for any pharmaceutical or biologic product is affected by the availability of reimbursement from third party payors, such as government health administration authorities, private health insurers, health maintenance organizations and pharmacy benefit management companies. If we cannot demonstrate a favorable cost-benefit relationship, we may have difficulty obtaining adequate reimbursement for our products from these payors. Third-party payors may also deny coverage or offer inadequate levels of reimbursement for any of our products if they determine that the product is experimental, unnecessary or inappropriate. Should we seek to expand our commercialization internationally, we would be subject to the international regulations, where the pricing of prescription pharmaceutical products and services and the level of government reimbursement may be subject to governmental control. In these countries, pricing negotiations with governmental authorities can take six to twelve months or longer after the receipt of marketing approval for a product. To obtain reimbursement or pricing approval in some countries, we may be required to conduct one or more clinical trials that compare the cost effectiveness of our product candidates or products to other available therapies. Conducting one or more of these clinical trials would be expensive and result in delays in commercialization of our products.

Managing and reducing healthcare costs has become a major priority of federal and state governments in the United States. As a result of healthcare reform efforts, we might become subject to future regulations or other cost-control initiatives that materially restrict the price we can receive for our products. Third-party payors may also limit access and reimbursement for newly approved healthcare products generally or limit the indications for which they will reimburse patients who use any products that we may develop. Cost control initiatives could decrease the price for products that we may develop, which would result in lower product revenues to us.

We May Be Unable to Attract a Strategic Partner for the Further Development of Certain of Our Product Candidates

Due to our limited resources, we have determined that the best vehicle to ultimately commercialize the various potential indications for ALDH^br, is through strategic partnerships, out-licensing, or other similar arrangements. There is no assurance, even if positive clinical data is achieved in the currently on-going trials, that we will be able to come to any such agreements or that we will even have the resources necessary to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

seek such arrangements. Furthermore, even if such a strategic relationship regarding any of our products is reached, there is no assurance that development milestones, clinical data, or other such benchmarks will be achieved. Therefore, these products may never proceed toward commercialization or drive cash infusions for us, and we may ultimately not be able to monetize the patents, existing clinical data, and other intellectual property.

The Success of Our Products Is Dependent on Acceptance by the Medical Community

The commercial success of our 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, our ability to sell the products will be materially and adversely affected. While acceptance by the medical community may be fostered by broad evaluation via peer-reviewed literature, we may not have the resources to facilitate sufficient publication.

We May Be Unable to Attract and Retain Key Personnel

Our future success depends on the ability to attract, retain and motivate highly skilled management, including sales representatives. We have retained a team of highly qualified officers and consultants, but cannot provide assurance that we will be able to successfully retain all of them, or be successful in recruiting additional personnel as needed. Our inability to do so will materially and adversely affect the business prospects, operating results and financial condition of the Company. Our ability to maintain and provide additional services to our customers depends upon our ability to hire and retain business development and scientific and technical personnel with the skills necessary to keep pace with continuing changes in regenerative biological therapy technologies. Competition for such personnel is intense; we compete with pharmaceutical, biotechnology and healthcare companies. Our inability to hire additional qualified personnel may lead to higher recruiting, relocation and compensation costs for such personnel. These increased costs may reduce our profit margins or make hiring new personnel impractical.

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

Political, economic and regulatory influences are subjecting the health care industry in the United States to fundamental change. We cannot predict what other legislation relating to our 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 our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. We expect federal and state legislators to continue to review and assess alternative health care delivery and payment systems and possibly adopt legislation affecting further changes in the health care delivery system. Such laws may contain provisions that may change the operating environment for 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 our 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. With growing pressures on government budgets due to the current economic downturn, government efforts to contain or reduce health care spending are likely to gain increasing emphasis. Several members of the current presidential administration and Congress are espousing support for cost-containment measures that could have significant implications for healthcare therapies, including our current and future products. If enacted and implemented, such measures could result in decreased revenue from our products and decrease potential returns from our research and development initiatives. Furthermore, there is no assurance that we will be able to successfully neutralize any lobbying efforts against any initiatives we may have with governmental agencies.

We Could Be Affected by Malpractice or Product Liability Claims

Providing medical care entails an inherent risk of professional malpractice and other claims. We do not control or direct the practice of medicine by physicians or health care providers who use the products and do not assume responsibility for compliance with regulatory and other requirements directly applicable to physicians. There is no assurance that claims, suits or complaints relating to the use of our products and treatment administered by physicians will not be asserted against us in the future. The production, marketing and sale, and use of our products entails risks that product liability claims will be asserted against us. These risks cannot be eliminated, and we could be held liable for any damages that result from adverse reactions or

infectious disease transmission. Such liability could materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. We currently maintain professional and product liability insurance coverage, but cannot give assurance that the coverage limits of this insurance would be adequate to protect against all potential claims. We cannot assure that we 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.

Our Products Have Existing Competition in the Marketplace

In the market for biotechnology products, we face competition from pharmaceutical companies, biopharmaceutical companies, medical device companies, and other competitors. Other companies have developed or are developing products that may be in direct competition with our current product line. Biotechnology development projects are characterized by intense competition. Thus, we cannot assure that we will be the first to the market with any newly developed products or that we will successfully be able to market these products. If we are not able to participate and compete in the regenerative biological therapy market, our financial condition will be materially and adversely affected. We cannot assure that we 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 our products.

If Our Sole Clinical Manufacturing Facility is Damaged or Destroyed, Our Business and Prospects Would be Negatively Affected

We have a manufacturing facility located in Durham, North Carolina at which we produce product candidates for our clinical trials for our Aldagen product candidates. If this facility or the equipment in it is significantly damaged or destroyed, we may not be able to quickly or inexpensively replace our manufacturing capacity or replace it at all. In the event of a temporary or protracted loss of this facility or equipment, we might not be able to transfer manufacturing to a third party. Even if we could transfer manufacturing to a third party, the shift would likely be expensive and time-consuming, particularly since the new facility would need to comply with the necessary regulatory requirements and we would need FDA approval before selling any products manufactured at that facility. Such an event could delay our clinical trials or, if our product candidates are approved by the FDA, reduce our product sales.

Development of Our Aldagen Product Candidates is Subject to Uncertainty Because Each is Derived from Human Bone Marrow, a Source Material That is Inherently Variable

The number of ALDHbr cells and the composition of the ALDHbr cell population from bone marrow vary from patient to patient. Such variability in composition could adversely affect our ability to manufacture our Aldagen product candidates derived from a patient’s bone marrow or to establish and meet acceptable specifications for release of the product candidate for treatment of a particular patient. As a consequence, the development and regulatory approval process for these product candidates could be delayed or may never be completed.

We Have Only Limited Experience Manufacturing Our Aldagen Product Candidates. We May Not Be Able to Manufacture Our Aldagen Product Candidates in Compliance With Evolving Regulatory Standards or in Quantities Sufficient for Commercial Sale

Components of therapeutic products approved for commercial sale or used in late-stage clinical trials must be manufactured in accordance with current good manufacturing practices, or cGMP, as required by the FDA. Manufacturers of cell-based product candidates such as our Aldagen product candidates also must comply with the FDA’s current good tissue practices, or cGTP. In addition, we may be required to modify our manufacturing process from time to time for our product candidates in response to FDA requests. Manufacture of live cellular-based products is complex and subjects us to significant regulatory burdens that may change over time. We may encounter difficulties in the production of our Aldagen product candidates due to our limited manufacturing capabilities. We have only limited manufacturing experience with our Aldagen product candidates, and we currently do not have sufficient manufacturing capacity to support commercialization of any of our Aldagen product candidates. These difficulties could reduce sales of our Aldagen products, if they are approved for marketing, increase our costs or cause production delays, any of which could damage our reputation and hurt our profitability.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If we successfully obtain marketing approval for any Aldagen product candidates, we may not be able to efficiently produce sufficient quantities of these products to meet potential commercial demand. We expect that we would need to significantly expand our manufacturing capabilities to meet potential demand for these products. Such expansion would require additional regulatory approvals. We may also encounter difficulties in the commercial-scale manufacture of all of our product candidates. We are currently developing new processes and are in discussions with other companies to develop new instruments to improve our manufacturing efficiency. Improving the speed and efficiency of our manufacturing process and the cell sorters and other instruments we use is a key element of our business plan. However, we cannot assure you that we will be able to develop process enhancements on a timely basis, on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we fail to develop these improvements, we could face significantly higher capital expenditures than we anticipate, increased facility and personnel costs and other increased operating expenses. We may need to demonstrate that our product candidates manufactured using any new processes or instruments are comparable to our product candidates used in clinical trials. Depending on the type and degree of differences, we may be required to conduct additional studies or clinical trials to demonstrate comparability.

In addition, some changes in our manufacturing processes or procedures, including a change in the location where a product candidate is manufactured, generally require prior FDA or foreign regulatory authority review and approval for determining our compliance with cGMP and cGTP. We may need to conduct additional preclinical studies and clinical trials to support approval of any such changes. Furthermore, this review process could be costly and time-consuming and could delay or prevent the commercialization of Aldagen our product candidates.

We May Use Third-party Collaborators to Help us Develop or Commercialize Our Product Candidates, and Our Ability to Commercialize Such Candidates May be Impaired or Delayed if Collaborations are Unsuccessful

We may in the future selectively pursue strategic collaborations for the development and commercialization of our product candidates and for the international development and commercialization of our product candidates. For example, we anticipate that we will need to enter into a collaboration agreement with a third party to conduct and fund a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial of ALD-401 and we may enter into collaboration agreements with third parties in the case of other Aldagen product candidates. In addition, we may not be able to commercialize ALD-201 successfully without entering into an arrangement with a third party to provide an approved method of administration. There can be no assurance that we will be able to identify suitable collaborators or negotiate collaboration agreements on terms that are acceptable to us or at all. In any future third-party collaboration, we would be dependent upon the success of the collaborators in performing their responsibilities and their continued cooperation. Our collaborators may not cooperate with us or perform their obligations under our agreements with them. We cannot control the amount and timing of our collaborators’ resources that will be devoted to performing their responsibilities under our agreements with them. Our collaborators may choose to pursue alternative technologies in preference to those being developed in collaboration with us. The development and commercialization of our product candidates will be delayed if collaborators fail to conduct their responsibilities in a timely manner or in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements or if they breach or terminate their collaboration agreements with us. Disputes with our collaborators could also result in product development delays, decreased revenues and litigation expenses.

Ethical and Other Concerns Surrounding the Use of Stem Cell-based Therapy May Negatively Affect Public Perception of Us or Our Product Candidates, thereby Reducing Potential Demand for Our Products

The commercial success of our product candidates, which are based on adult stem cells, will depend in part on general public acceptance of the use of stem cell-based therapy for the prevention or treatment of human diseases. The use of embryonic stem cells and fetal tissue for research and stem cell therapy has been the subject of substantial national and international debate regarding related ethical, legal and social issues. We do not use embryonic stem cells or fetal tissue in any of our product candidates, but the public may not be able to, or may fail to, differentiate our use of adult stem cells from the use by others of embryonic stem cells or fetal tissue. This could result in a negative perception of our company or our product candidates. Some people have raised ethical concerns about the use of donated human tissue in a commercial setting, which could also negatively affect the perception of our product candidates and inhibit their commercialization in a successful manner.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If Our Patent Position Does Not Adequately Protect Our Product Candidates or Any Future Products, Others Could Compete Against Us More Directly, Which Would Harm Our Business

Our success depends, in large part, on our ability to obtain and maintain patent protection for our product candidates. Issued patents may be challenged by third parties, resulting in patents being deemed invalid, unenforceable or narrowed in scope, or a third party may circumvent any such issued patents. The patent position of biotechnology companies is generally highly uncertain, involves complex legal and factual questions and has been the subject of much litigation and recent court decisions introduce uncertainty in the strength of patents owned by biotechnology companies. The legal systems of some foreign countries do not favor the aggressive enforcement of patents, and the laws of foreign countries may not protect our rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Therefore, any patents that we own or license may not provide sufficient protection against competitors.

The claims of the issued patents that are licensed to us, and the claims of any patents which may issue in the future and be owned by or licensed to us, may not confer on us significant commercial protection against competing products. Also, our pending patent applications may not issue, and we may not receive any additional patents. Our patents might not contain claims that are sufficiently broad to prevent others from utilizing our technologies. For instance, the two issued U.S. patents relating to our product candidates are limited to a particular chemistry in the manufacturing process. Consequently, our competitors may independently develop competing products that do not infringe our patents or other intellectual property. To the extent a competitor can develop similar products using a different chemistry, these patents will not prevent others from directly competing with us. Because of the extensive time required for development, testing and regulatory review of a potential product, it is possible that, before any of our product candidates can be commercialized, any related patent may expire or remain in force for only a short period following commercialization of our product candidates, thereby reducing any advantages of the patent. For instance, one of our patents relating to our technology will expire in 2019. To the extent our product candidates based on that technology are not commercialized significantly ahead of this date, or to the extent we have no other patent protection on such product candidates, those product candidates would not be protected by patents beyond 2019 and we would then rely solely on other forms of exclusivity, such as regulatory exclusivity provided by the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, which may provide less protection of our competitive position. Similar considerations apply in any other country where we are prosecuting patents, have been issued patents, or have licensed patents or patent applications relating to our technology. The laws of foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property rights to the same extent as do laws of the United States.

If We Are Unable to Protect the Confidentiality of Our Proprietary Information and Know-how, Our Competitive Position Would be Impaired

A significant amount of our technology, especially regarding manufacturing processes, is unpatented and is maintained by us as trade secrets. The background technologies used in the development of our product candidates are known in the scientific community, and it is possible to duplicate the methods we use to create our product candidates. In an effort to protect these trade secrets, we require our employees, consultants and contractors to execute confidentiality agreements with us. These agreements require that all confidential information developed by the individual or made known to the individual by us during the course of the individual’s relationship with us be kept confidential and not disclosed to third parties. These agreements, however, may not provide us with adequate protection against improper use or disclosure of confidential information, and these agreements may be breached. Adequate remedies may not exist in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our confidential information. A breach of confidentiality could affect our competitive position. In addition, in some situations, these agreements may conflict with, or be subject to, the rights of third parties with whom our employees, consultants, collaborators or advisors have previous employment or consulting relationships. Also, others may independently develop substantially equivalent proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to our trade secrets. The disclosure of our trade secrets would impair our competitive position.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

If We Infringe or Are Alleged to Infringe Intellectual Property Rights of Third Parties, Our Business Could be Harmed

Our research, development and commercialization activities, including any product candidates resulting from these activities, may infringe or be claimed to infringe patents or other proprietary rights owned by third parties and to which we do not hold licenses or other rights. There may be applications that have been filed but not published that, when issued, could be asserted against us. These third parties could bring claims against us that would cause us to incur substantial expenses and, if successful against us, could cause us to pay substantial damages.

Further, if a patent infringement suit were brought against us, we could be forced to stop or delay research, development, manufacturing or sales of the product or product candidate that is the subject of the suit. We have not conducted an exhaustive search or analysis of third-party patent rights to determine whether our research, development or commercialization activities, including any product candidates resulting from these activities, may infringe or be alleged to infringe any third-party patent rights. As a result of intellectual property infringement claims, or in order to avoid potential claims, we may choose or be required to seek a license from the third party. These licenses may not be available on acceptable terms, or at all. Even if we are able to obtain a license, the license would likely obligate us to pay license fees or royalties or both, and the rights granted to us might be nonexclusive, which could result in our competitors gaining access to the same intellectual property.

Ultimately, we could be prevented from commercializing a product, or be forced to cease some aspect of our business operations, if, as a result of actual or threatened patent infringement claims, we are unable to enter into licenses on acceptable terms. All of the issues described above could also affect our potential collaborators to the extent we have any collaborations then in place, which would also affect the success of the collaboration and therefore us. There has been substantial litigation and other proceedings regarding patent and other intellectual property rights in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. In addition to infringement claims against us, we may become a party to other patent litigation and other proceedings, including interference proceedings declared by the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office and opposition proceedings in the European Patent Office, regarding intellectual property rights with respect to our product candidates and technology.

Uncertainties Resulting from the Initiation and Continuation of Patent Litigation or Other Proceedings Could Have a Material Adverse Effect on Our Ability to Compete in the Marketplace

If clinical trials of our product candidates fail to demonstrate safety and efficacy to the satisfaction of the FDA or do not otherwise produce positive results, we may incur additional costs or experience delays in completing, or ultimately be unable to complete, the development and commercialization of our product candidates.

Before obtaining regulatory approval for the sale of our product candidates, we must conduct, at our own expense, extensive clinical trials to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of our product candidates in humans. Clinical testing is expensive, difficult to design and implement, can take many years to complete and is uncertain as to outcome. A failure of one or more of our clinical trials can occur at any stage of testing. We may experience numerous unforeseen events during, or as a result of, clinical trials that could delay or prevent our ability to receive regulatory approval or commercialize our product candidates, including the following:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Any Product for Which We Obtain Marketing Approval Will be Subject to Extensive Ongoing Regulatory Requirements, and We May Be Subject to Penalties if We Fail to Comply with Regulatory Requirements or if We Experience Unanticipated Problems with Our Products, When and if Any of Them Are Approved

Any product for which we obtain marketing approval, along with the manufacturing processes, post-approval clinical data, labeling, advertising and promotional activities for such product, will be subject to continual requirements of and review by the FDA and comparable regulatory authorities. These requirements include submissions of safety and other post-marketing information and reports, registration requirements, cGMP and cGTP requirements relating to quality control, quality assurance and corresponding maintenance of records and documents, requirements relating to product labeling, advertising and promotion, and recordkeeping. Even if regulatory approval of a product is granted, the approval may be subject to additional limitations on the indicated uses for which the product may be marketed or to other conditions of approval. In addition, approval may contain requirements for costly post-marketing testing and surveillance to monitor the safety or efficacy of the product. Discovery after approval of previously unknown problems with our products, manufacturers or manufacturing processes, or failure to comply with regulatory requirements, may result in actions such as:

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Failure to Obtain Regulatory Approval in International Jurisdictions Would Prevent Us from Marketing Products Abroad

We may in the future seek to market some of our product candidates outside the United States. In order to market our product candidates in the European Union and many other jurisdictions, we must submit clinical data concerning our product candidates and obtain separate regulatory approvals and comply with numerous and varying regulatory requirements. The approval procedure varies among countries and can involve additional testing. The time required to obtain approval from foreign regulators may be longer than the time required to obtain FDA approval. The regulatory approval process outside the United States may include all of the risks associated with obtaining FDA approval. In addition, in many countries outside the United States, it is required that the product candidate be approved for reimbursement before it can be approved for sale in that country. In some cases this may include approval of the price we intend to charge for our product, if approved. We may not obtain approvals from regulatory authorities outside the United States on a timely basis, or at all. Approval by the FDA does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions, and approval by one regulatory authority outside the United States does not ensure approval by regulatory authorities in other countries or jurisdictions or by the FDA, but a failure or delay in obtaining regulatory approval in one country may negatively affect the regulatory process in other countries. We may not be able to file for regulatory approvals and may not receive necessary approvals to commercialize any products in any market and therefore may not be able to generate sufficient revenues to support our business.

Our Business Involves the Use of Hazardous Materials That Could Expose Us to Environmental and Other Liability

Our manufacturing facility located in Durham, North Carolina is subject to various local, state and federal laws and regulations relating to safe working conditions, laboratory and manufacturing practices and the use and disposal of hazardous or potentially hazardous substances, including chemicals, micro-organisms and various radioactive compounds used in connection with our research and development activities. In the United States, these laws include the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Toxic Test Substances Control Act and the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. We cannot assure you that accidental contamination or injury to our employees and third parties from hazardous materials will not occur. We do not have insurance to cover claims arising from our use and disposal of these hazardous substances other than limited clean-up expense coverage for environmental contamination due to an otherwise insured peril, such as fire.

The Sale of Our Common Stock to Lincoln Park May Cause Substantial Dilution to Our Existing Stockholders and the Sale of the Shares of Common Stock Acquired by Lincoln Park Could Cause the Price of Our Common Stock to Decline

In February 2013, we entered into a purchase agreement with Lincoln Park Capital LLC (“LPC”) where by we could, but are not required to, sell shares of our Common stock to LPC over 30 month period up to a maximum aggregate amount of $15 million (the “Purchase Agreement”). The number of shares ultimately offered for sale by LPC is dependent upon the number of shares we elect to sell to LPC under the Purchase Agreements. Depending upon market liquidity at the time, sales of shares of our common stock by LPC may cause the trading price of our common stock to decline. After it has acquired shares under the Purchase Agreements, LPC may sell all, some or none of those shares. Sales to LPC by us pursuant to the Purchase Agreements may result in substantial dilution to the interests of other holders of our Common stock. The sale of a substantial number of shares of our Common stock by LPC, or anticipation of such sales, could make it more difficult for us to sell equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and at a price that we might otherwise wish to effect sales. However, we have the right to control the timing and amount of any sales of our shares to LPC and the Purchase Agreements may be terminated by us at any time at our discretion without any cost to us.

Volatility of Our Stock Price Could Adversely Affect Current and Future Stockholders

The market price of our common stock has been volatile, and fluctuates widely in price in response to various factors which are beyond our control. The price of our common stock is not necessarily indicative of our operating performance or long-term business prospects. In addition, the securities markets have from time to time experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that are unrelated to the operating performance of

TABLE OF CONTENTS

particular companies. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Factors that could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially include, among others:

The stock market in general has recently experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. Continued market fluctuations could result in extreme volatility in the price of our common stock, which could cause a decline in the value of our common stock. Price volatility could be worse if the trading volume of our common stock is low.

We May Likely Issue Additional Equity or Debt Securities Which May Materially and Adversely Affect the Price of Our Common Stock

Sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock in the public market, or the perception that those sales may occur, could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. We have used, and will likely continue to use, our common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stock to fund working capital needs or to acquire technology, product rights or businesses, or for other purposes. If additional equity and/or equity-linked securities are issued, particularly during times when our common stock is trading at relatively low price levels, the price of our common stock may be materially and adversely affected.

There is a Limited Public Trading Market for Our Common Stock

The average daily trading volume in our common stock has historically been relatively low. If low trading volume is persistent, it could be difficult 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. Shareholders may be required to hold shares of our common stock for an indefinite period of time. In addition, sales of substantial amounts of common stock could lower the prevailing market price of our common stock. This would limit or perhaps prevent our ability to raise capital through the sale of securities. Additionally, we have significant numbers of outstanding warrants and options that, if exercised and sold, could put additional downward pressure on the common stock price. In addition, in recent years the stock market in general, and the market for life sciences companies in particular, have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has affected the market prices of securities issued by many companies, often for reasons unrelated to their operating performance, and it may adversely affect the price of our common stock. These broad market fluctuations may reduce the demand for our stock and therefore adversely affect the price of our securities, regardless of operating performance.

We are Subject to Anti-Takeover Provisions and Laws

Provisions in our 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 us without the approval of our Board of Directors. These provisions may make it more difficult or expensive for a third party to acquire a majority of our outstanding voting common stock or delay, prevent or deter a merger, acquisition, tender offer or proxy contest, which may negatively affect our common stock price.

Holders

There were approximately 506 holders of record of Common stock as of March 4, 2013.

Dividends

Cytomedix did not pay dividends to holders of common stock in 2012 or 2011. The Company is prohibited from declaring dividends on common stock if any dividends are due on shares of Series A, B, or D Convertible Preferred stock. In February 2012, the Series A and B Convertible Preferred Stock were redeemed and the Series D Convertible Preferred Stock was converted to common stock. As a result, our Preferred Stock has been retired. However, we do not anticipate paying cash dividends on common stock in the foreseeable future, but instead will retain any earnings for reinvestment in the business.

Penny Stock

The SEC has adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Our stock is currently a “penny stock.” Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, deliver a standardized risk disclosure document prepared by the SEC, which: (a) contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stocks in both public offerings and secondary trading; (b) contains a description of the broker’s or dealer’s duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation to such duties or other requirements of securities’ laws; (c) contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including bid and ask prices for penny stocks and significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; (d) contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; (e) defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading in penny stocks; and (f) contains such other information and is in such form as the SEC shall require by rule or regulation. The broker-dealer also must provide to the customer, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, (a) bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; (b) the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; (c) the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and (d) monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable

Corporate Overview

We commercialize innovative cell-based technologies that harness the regenerative capacity of the human body to trigger natural healing. The use of autologous (from self) biological therapies for tissue repair and regeneration is part of a transformative clinical strategy designed to improve long term recovery in complex chronic conditions with significant unmet medical needs. We currently have a growing commercial operation, and a robust clinical pipeline representing a logical extension of our commercial technologies in the evolving field of regenerative medicine.

Our current commercial offerings are centered on our point of care platform technologies for the safe and efficient separation of blood and bone marrow to produce platelet based therapies or cell concentrates. Today, we market and sell two distinct platelet rich plasma (PRP) technologies, the AutoloGel System for wound care and the Angel concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) Sytem in orthopedic and cardiovascular markets. Our sales are predominantly (approximately 85% in the United States, where we sell our products through a combination of direct sales representatives and independent sales agents. Commercial growth drivers in the U.S. include Medicare coverage for Autologel for the treatment of chronic wounds under a national coverage decision allowing coverage with evidence development (CED), and the patient driven private pay PRP business in orthopedics and aesthetics. In Europe, the Middle East, Canada, and Australia we have a network of experienced distributors covering key markets.

Our clinical pipeline includes the ALDH^br cell-based therapies (“Bright Cells”), acquired through the February 2012 acquisition of Aldagen, Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company and the expansion of the Angel System for use in other clinical indications. Cytomedix has a strong and growing patent portfolio intended to drive value by facilitating and protecting leading market positions for our commercial products, attracting strategic partners, and generating revenue via out-licensing agreements.

Although our revenues have increased, they still remain insufficient to cover our operating expenses. Operating expenses primarily consist of employee compensation, professional fees, consulting expenses, and other general business expenses such as insurance, travel expenses, and sales and marketing related items.

With the acquisition of Aldagen, Inc., our operating expenses will be further increased at least through 2013, after which, upon success with certain clinical efforts, we would expect to be in a position to partner the Aldagen Bright Cell technology for further development.

For a detailed discussion of the most recent events please refer to Item 1 of this Annual Report.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 (rounded to nearest thousand)

Revenues

Revenues increased $3,317,000 (46%) to $10,564,000, comparing the year ended December 31, 2012, to the previous year. The increase was mostly due to higher product sales of $1,339,000, with $743,000 of the increase due to non-US product sales, and higher license fee revenue of $1,809,000. The increased product

TABLE OF CONTENTS

sales were primarily due to an increase in Angel sales of $1,117,000 or 20%. AutoloGel sales increased 44% to $554,000. License fee revenue was a result of exclusivity fee payments recognized with respect to an option agreement with a top 20 global pharmaceutical company.

Gross Profit

Gross profit increased $2,129,000 (47%) to $6,650,000, comparing the year ended December 31, 2012, to the previous year. The increase was primarily due to higher license fee revenue of $1,809,000 associated with the exclusivity fee payments discussed above, as well as increased profit on product sales.

Gross margin increased to 63% from 62% comparing the year ended December 31, 2012, to the previous year. The increase was primarily due to the increase in license fee revenue recognized, which had no associated cost of revenue. Gross margin on product sales decreased to 46% from 54% comparing December 31, 2012, to the previous year. The decrease was primarily due to sales on lower margin products, specifically Angel machines and disposables sold to non-US distributors, which made up a more significant portion of the product mix.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $11,510,000 (143%) to $19,544,000, comparing the year ended December 31, 2012, to the previous year. A discussion of the various components of Operating expenses follows below.

Salaries and Wages

Salaries and wages increased $4,255,000 (149%) to $7,107,000, comparing the year ended December 31, 2012, to the previous year. The increases were primarily due to increased stock-based compensation expense and additional employees as a result of the Aldagen acquisition, in addition to increased bonus expense.

Consulting Expenses

Consulting expenses increased $927,000 (69%) to $2,276,000, comparing the year ended December 31, 2012, to the previous year. The increase was primarily due to consulting expenses related to the Aldagen acquisition and expense associated with the development of our European distribution channel activities.

Professional Fees

Professional fees increased $403,000 (51%) to $1,190,000, comparing the year ended December 31, 2012, to the previous year. The increase was primarily due to legal costs related to the Aldagen acquisition and costs related to the option agreement with a top 20 pharmaceutical company which was terminated in August 2012, in addition to increased costs related to patents and regulatory filings.

Research, Development, Trials and Studies

Trials and studies expenses increased $3,288,000 (3,350%) to $3,386,000, comparing the year ended December 31, 2012, to the previous year. The increases were primarily due to research and development costs related to the ALD-401 Phase 2 clinical trial.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $2,636,000 (89%) to $5,585,000, comparing the year ended December 31, 2012, to the previous year. The increase was primarily due to higher stock based compensation due to additional members of the board of directors, rent, employee benefits, franchise tax, and amortization expense as a result of the acquisition of Aldagen. Additionally, travel, marketing, and European services increased as we made further investments in our sales and marketing and distribution efforts.

Other Income (Expense)

Other expense, net totaled $6,885,000 compared to other income, net of $22,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The change was primarily due to $4,335,000 related to the increase in the fair value of the contingent consideration related to the Aldagen acquisition, mainly due to the change in our stock price, approximately $1,513,000 in non-cash inducement expense, and $471,000 in settlement expense in 2012 compared to a $577,000 gain on debt restructuring in 2011.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The settlement expense realized was a result of a contingency resolved, in the second quarter of 2012, that resulted in common stock issuable to our pre-bankruptcy Series A Preferred stock holders as outlined in the Company’s plan of reorganization in 2002 (see Note 21 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). The non-cash inducement expense is associated with common stock issued to compensate Series D preferred stockholders for forgone preferred dividend payments due to the early conversion of preferred stock and incentive warrants issued in exchange for the early exercise of existing warrants. These are compared to a gain of approximately $577,000 recognized in 2011 related to the Company’s renegotiation of the note payable due to Sorin.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception, we have incurred and continue to incur significant losses from operations. Although our recent acquisition of Aldagen was an all equity transaction, the on-going Phase 2 study and general corporate activities at Aldagen will increase our operational expenditures at least through the end of 2013. Historically, we have financed our operations through a combination of the sale of debt, equity and equity-linked securities, and licensing, royalty, and product revenues. The Company’s commercial products are currently generating approximately $8 million in revenue per year on a run-rate basis. The Company needs to sustain and grow these sales to meet its business objectives and satisfy its cash requirements.

At December 31, 2012, we had approximately $2.6 million cash on hand including approximately $1.5 million dedicated for use in the ALD-401 clinical trial and related matters. In February 2013, we entered into several financing transactions, as more fully described below. Based on our beginning cash balances and the funds available as a result of the February 2013 financings, we believe we will have sufficient cash to sustain the Company at least through 2013.

On February 18, 2013, the Company entered into a purchase agreement, together with a registration rights agreement, with Lincoln Park Capital, LLC (“LPC”). Under this agreement, the Company has the right to sell to and LPC is obligated to purchase up to $15 million in shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to certain limitations, from time to time, over the 30-month period commencing on the date that a registration statement is declared effective by the SEC and a final prospectus in connection therewith is filed (expected to occur in the second quarter of 2013). Given the parameters within which the Company may draw down from LPC, there is no assurance that the amounts available from LPC will be sufficient to fund our future operational cash flow needs.

On February 19, 2013, the Company entered into securities purchase agreements with certain institutional accredited investors in addition to a Credit and Security Agreement with Midcap Financial LLC.

Through the sales of its equity securities as set forth in the securities purchase agreements, the Company raised gross proceeds of $5,000,000, before placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses, in a registered offering. The Company issued to the investors units of the Company’s securities consisting, in the aggregate, of 9,090,910 shares of the Company’s common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 6,363,637 shares of common stock. The purchase price paid by investors was $0.55 for each unit. Each warrant is immediately exercisable at $0.75 per share and is subject to transfer restrictions, including among others, compliance with state securities laws. The closing of the offering occurred February 22, 2013. Proceeds from the transaction will be used for general corporate and working capital purposes.

The Midcap Credit and Security Agreement provides for aggregate term loan commitments of $7.5 million. The Company received the first tranche of $4.5 million at closing. The second tranche of $3.0 million may be advanced to the Company, at the Company’s discretion, upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) if the Company achieves certain performance milestones for 2013 and (ii) raises an amount of not less than $5.0 million in the aggregate from (a) equity investors, and/or (b) partnership proceeds on or before July 31, 2013. The term loan will mature on August 19, 2016, and will be repaid on a straight-line amortization basis, with the first twelve months being an interest-only period and commencing on the thirteenth month the principal on both the first tranche and, if applicable, on the second tranche, will be amortized in equal monthly amounts through the maturity date.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We continue to have exploratory conversations with large companies regarding their interest in our various products and technologies. We will seek to leverage these relationships and this heightened interest to secure further non-dilutive sources of funding.

If significant amounts are not available to the Company from future strategic partnerships or under the LPC agreement, additional funding will be required for the Company to pursue all elements of its strategic plan. Specific programs that may require additional funding include, without limitation, continued investment in the sales, marketing, distribution, and customer service areas, further expansion into the international markets, completion of the ongoing Phase 2 RECOVER Stroke trial, significant new product development or modifications, and pursuit of other opportunities. We would likely raise such additional capital through the issuance of our equity or equity-linked securities, which may result in significant additional dilution to our investors. The Company’s ability to raise additional capital is dependent on, among other things, the state of the financial markets at the time of any proposed offering. To secure funding through strategic partnerships, it may be necessary to partner one or more of our technologies at an earlier stage of development, which could cause the Company to share a greater portion of the potential future economic value of those programs with its partners. There is no assurance that additional funding, through any of the aforementioned means, will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. If adequate capital cannot be obtained on a timely basis and on satisfactory terms, the Company’s operations could be materially negatively impacted.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating, investing, and financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

		December 31, 2012				December 31, 2011

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities in 2012 of $11.4 million primarily reflects our net loss of $20.0 million adjusted by a (i) $4.3 million increase for change in the fair value of contingent consideration relating to the Aldagen acquisition, (ii) $2.0 million increase for stock-based compensation, (iii) $1.5 million increase for non-cash inducement expense associated with warrant exercise agreements, (iv) $1.5 million decrease for changes in assets and liabilities, (v) $1.2 million increase for depreciation and amortization primarily as a result of the Aldagen acquisition, (vi) $0.6 million increase for amortization of deferred costs relating to debt issuances, (vii) $0.5 million increase for settlement of contingency expense, and (viii) $0.5 million decrease for change in derivative liabilities. The $1.5 million decrease due to changes in assets and liabilities, in part reflects a net $0.7 million decrease in deferred revenue for revenue recognized relating to the non-refundable exclusivity fees received from a potential global pharmaceutical partner.

Cash used in operating activities in 2011 primarily reflects our net loss of $3.5 million adjusted for a (i) net $1.3 million decrease for changes in assets and liabilities, (ii) $0.6 million increase for depreciation and amortization, (iii) $0.6 million decrease for gain on debt restructuring relating to the Company’s renegotiation of the note payable to Sorin, (iv) $0.5 decrease for change in derivative liabilities, (v) $0.5 million increase for amortization of deferred costs relating to debt issuances, and (vi) $0.3 million increase for stock-based compensation.

Investing Activities

Cash used in investing activities in 2012 primarily reflects the net activity of purchases and sales of Angel and AutoloGel centrifuge devices. In order to maintain and expand the sales of our products, we will need to continue to purchase Angel and AutoGel centrifuge devices.

Financing Activities

In 2012, we raised $9.5 million through the issuance of common stock ($5.0 million of which was sold to existing Aldagen investors, concurrent with the acquisition of Aldagen and $4.5 million of which was sold to

TABLE OF CONTENTS

LPC), and received $4.1 million from warrant exercises. This was offset by a $0.2 million cash payment for the redemption of Series A and B Convertible Preferred Stock and the satisfaction of accrued but unpaid dividends thereon.

In 2011, we raised $3.8 million through the sale of common stock ($3.4 million of which was sold to LPC), $2.1 million through the issuance of traditional debt, and $2.4 million through the issuance of convertible debt. These amounts were partly offset by a $2.6 million repayment of the note payable to Sorin.

Inflation

The Company believes that the rates of inflation in recent years have not had a significant impact on its operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that can have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations. The application of our critical accounting policies requires an evaluation of a number of complex criteria and significant accounting judgments by us. In applying those policies, our management uses its judgment to determine the appropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates. Actual results may differ significantly from these estimates under different assumptions, judgments or conditions. We have identified the following policies as critical to our business operations and the understanding of our consolidated results of operations. For further information on our critical and other accounting policies, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

Under the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”), it grants share-based awards, typically in the form of stock options and stock awards, to eligible employees, directors, and service providers to purchase shares of Common stock. The fair values of these awards are determined on the dates of grant or issuance and are recognized as expense over the requisite service periods.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula. The determination of fair value using this model requires the use of certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of compensation cost recognized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. These include estimates of the expected term of the option, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate. These estimates and assumptions are highly subjective and may result in materially different amounts should circumstances change and the Company employ different assumptions in future periods.

For stock options issued during the year ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the expected term was estimated by using peer company information as Cytomedix’s history is limited. Estimated volatility was derived using the Company’s historical stock price volatility. No cash dividends have ever been declared or paid on the Company’s common stock and currently none is anticipated. The risk-free interest rate is based upon U.S. Treasury securities with remaining terms similar to the expected term of the options.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock awards based on the closing market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. In certain select cases, the Company has issued stock purchase warrants, outside the LTIP, to service providers in exchange for the performance of consulting or other services. These warrants have generally been immediately vested and expense was recognized equal to the fair value of the warrant on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The same assumptions (and related risks) as discussed above apply, with the exception of the expected term; for these warrants issued to service providers, the Company estimates that the warrant will be held for the full term.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method. Under this method the Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated

TABLE OF CONTENTS

fair values at the date of acquisition, including intangible assets that arise from contractual or other legal rights or are separable (i.e. capable of being sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged separately from the entity). Determination of fair value is based on certain estimates and assumptions regarding such things as forecasted future revenues and expenses, customer attrition, prevailing royalty rates, required rates of return, etc. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 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 or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

Sales of products

The Company provides for the sale of its products, including disposable processing sets and supplies to customers. Revenue from sales products is recognized upon shipment of products to the customers. The Company does not maintain a reserve for returned products as in the past those returns have not been material.

Usage or leasing of blood separation equipment

Also, as a result of the acquisition of the Angel® business in 2010, the Company acquired various multiple element revenue arrangements that combine the (i) usage or leasing of blood separation processing equipment, (ii) maintenance of processing equipment, and (iii) purchase of disposable processing sets and supplies. Under these arrangements, the total arrangement consideration is allocated to the various elements based on their relative estimated selling prices. The usage of the blood separation processing equipment is accounted for as an operating lease; since customer payments are contingent upon the customer ordering new products, rental income is recorded following the contingent rental method when rental income is earned and collectability is reasonably assured. The sale of disposable processing sets and supplies and maintenance are deemed a combined unit of accounting; since (a) any consideration for disposable processing sets and supplies and maintenance is contingent upon the customer ordering additional disposable processing sets and supplies and (b) both the disposable products and maintenance services are provided over the same term, the Company recognizes revenue for this combined unit of accounting following the contingent revenue method at the time disposable products are delivered based on prices contained in the agreement. Rental income is currently less than 10% of total revenue and the Company therefore does not make separate disclosure in the statement of operations.

Licenses and royalties

Percentage-based fees on licensee sales of covered products are generally recorded as products are sold by licensees and are reflected as “Royalties” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Direct costs associated with product sales and royalty revenues are recorded at the time that revenue is recognized.

Option Agreement with a global pharmaceutical company

In October 2011, the Company entered into an option agreement with a top 20 global pharmaceutical company granting the potential partner an exclusive option period through June 30, 2012 regarding U.S. supply and distribution of the AutoloGel System. In exchange for this period of exclusivity, we have received non-refundable fees totaling $4.5 million. The revenue for these non-refundable fees is recognized, on a straight-line basis, over the exclusive option period based on the relative selling price, with the remaining balance recognized at the expiration of the option period. In August 2012, the parties agreed to the early termination of the August 30, 2012 exclusivity period and ceased further negotiations concerning a distribution agreement; accordingly, all fees have been recognized.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Valuation of Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations. The Company is required to perform a review for impairment of goodwill in accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if it is determined that the carrying value of the Company exceeds its fair value. The Company conducts an impairment test of goodwill on an annual basis as of October 1 of each year. In addition to the annual review, an interim review is required if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company below its carrying amount. Examples of such events or circumstances include:

Valuation of Intangibles

The Company capitalizes the costs of purchased patents, trademarks, customer, and technology related intangibles.

Indefinite lived intangible assets consist of in-process research and development (IPR&D) acquired in the acquisition of Aldagen. The acquired IPR&D consists of specific cell populations (that are related to a specific indication) and the use of the cell populations in treating particular medical conditions. The Company evaluates its indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, and at least on an annual basis as of October 1 of each year, by comparing the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss in the amount of that excess.

Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives consist of trademarks, technology (including patents), and customer relationships acquired in business combinations. These intangibles are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews its finite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, and at least on an annual basis as of October 1 of each year, by comparing the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss in the amount of that excess.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The balance sheets include various financial instruments that are carried at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. At each reporting period, we perform a detailed analysis of our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. All assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs or instruments which trade infrequently and therefore have little or no price transparency are classified as Level 3.

The Company accounts for derivative instruments under ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted. ASC 815 requires that we recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Certain warrants issued in 2009 and prior years meet the definition of derivative liabilities. In October 2010, we executed an equity-linked transaction in which detachable stock purchase warrants were sold; the warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability. In July and November 2011, we issued convertible notes that contained embedded conversion options; the embedded conversion options are accounted for as a derivative liability. We determine the fair value of these derivative liabilities using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model determines fair value by requiring the use of estimates that include the contractual term, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in fair value are classified in “other income (expense)” in the consolidated statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) — Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” The amendments in this update are intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. ASU 2011-08 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU No. 2012-02, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) — Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” The objective of the amendments in this Update is to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories. The amendments permit an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30,

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities, both public and nonpublic, that have indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, reported in their financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this amendment will have on its financial statements.

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Under the scaled disclosure requirements applicable to smaller reporting companies (as defined in Item 10(f)(1) of Regulation S-K), the Company is not required to report quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk specified in Item 305 of Regulation S-K.

ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Cytomedix, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cytomedix, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012. We also have audited the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

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.

As described in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management has excluded Aldagen, Inc. (“Aldagen”) from its assessment of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012 because it was acquired by the Company in a purchase combination during 2012. We have also excluded Aldagen from our audit of internal control over financial reporting. Aldagen is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose total assets and total revenues represent 74% and 2%, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2012.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cytomedix, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, Cytomedix, Inc.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Description of the Business

Cytomedix, Inc. (“Cytomedix,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is a regenerative therapies company marketing products within the U.S. and internationally. We commercialize innovative cell-based technologies that harness the regenerative capacity of the human body to trigger natural healing. The use of autologous from self biological therapies for tissue repair and regeneration is part of a transformative clinical strategy designed to improve long term recovery in complex chronic conditions with significant unmet medical needs. We currently have a growing commercial operation, and a robust clinical pipeline representing a logical extension of our commercial technologies in the evolving regenerative medicine markets.

Our current commercial offerings are centered on our point of care platform technologies for the safe and efficient separation of blood and bone marrow to produce platelet based therapies or cell concentrates. Today, we promote two distinct platelet rich plasma (PRP) technologies, the AutoloGel^TM System (“AutoloGel”) for wound care and the Angel® concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (cPRP) Sytem (“Angel”) in orthopedics. Our sales are predominantly (approximately 85%) in the United States, where we sell our products through a combination of direct sales representatives and independent sales agents. Commercial growth drivers in the U.S. include Medicare coverage for the treatment of chronic wounds under a national coverage decision allowing coverage with evidence development (CED), and the patient driven personal pay PRP business in orthopedics and aesthetics. In Europe, the Middle East, Canada, and Australia we have a network of distributors covering several major markets.

Our clinical pipeline includes the ALDH^br cell-based therapies (“Bright Cells”), acquired through the acquisition of Aldagen, Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company, in February 2012, and the expansion of the Angel System for use in other clinical indications. Cytomedix has a strong and growing patent portfolio intended to drive value by facilitating and protecting leading market positions for our commercial products, attracting strategic partners, and generating revenue through out-licensing agreements.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation

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. They include the accounts of the company and our subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation with no impact to net loss.

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.

Business Combinations

The Company accounts for business combinations using the acquisition method. Under this method the Company allocates the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition, including intangible assets that arise from contractual or other legal rights or are separable (i.e. capable of being sold, transferred, licensed, rented, or exchanged separately from the entity). Determination of fair value is based on certain estimates and assumptions regarding such things as forecasted future revenues and expenses, customer attrition, prevailing royalty rates, required rates of return, etc. The purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net assets and liabilities is recorded as goodwill. See further discussion regarding the accounting for the Aldagen, Inc. (hereinafter defined) acquistion in Note 3.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

Concentration of Risk

Approximately $40,000 and $991,000 held in financial institutions was in excess of FDIC insurance at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Approximately $1,754,000 and $503,000 held in money market accounts at brokerage firms was in excess of Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The amount not covered by SIPC is insured by the Company’s brokerage firm through additional “excess of SIPC” coverage from third party insurers. These third party insurers would cover losses in the event of the financial failure and liquidation of the financial institution that holds the Company’s institutional money market investments, however they do not insure against losses due to market fluctuations. The Company currently has two commercially marketed products, both using PRP technology, that are 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.

Company utilizes single suppliers for several components of the Angel® and AutoloGel^TM product lines. We outsource the manufacturing of various products, including component parts, composing the Angel® line to contract manufacturers. While we believe these manufacturers to be of sufficient competency, quality, reliability, and stability, there is no assurance that one or more of them will not experience an interruption or inability to provide us with the products needed to satisfy customer demand. Additionally, while most of the components of AutoloGel^TM are generally readily available on the open market, a reagent, bovine thrombin, is available exclusively through Pfizer, with whom the Company has an established vendor relationship.

Cash Equivalents

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

At December 31, 2012, the Company had dedicated approximately $1,524,000 of its cash balance for use in conjunction with the ALD-401 Phase 2 clinical trial and related matters, pursuant to provisions in the Aldagen acquisition agreements.

Accounts 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. At December 31, 2012 and 2011 the Company maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts of $43,000 and $38,000, respectively.

Inventory

The Company’s inventory is produced by third party manufacturers and consists primarily of finished goods. Inventory cost is determined on a first-in, first-out basis and is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The Company’s primary product is the Angel® Processing set which has a shelf life of three years. The Company also maintains an inventory of kits, reagents, and other disposables that have shelf lives that generally range from ten months to five years. Expired products are segregated and used for demonstration purposes only; the Company writes off expired inventory through cost of sales.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment is stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and is depreciated, using the straight-line method, over its estimated useful life ranging from three to five years for all assets except for

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

furniture, lab, and manufacturing equipment which is depreciated over seven and ten years, respectively. Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred. When assets are disposed of, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in other income (expense).

Centrifuges may be sold, leased, or placed at no charge with customers. Depreciation expense for centrifuges that are available for sale, leased, or placed at no charge with customers are charged to cost of sales. Depreciation expense for centrifuges used for sales and marketing and other internal purposes are charged to operations. When the centrifuges are sold the net book value is charged to cost of sales.

Goodwill

The Company is required to perform a review for impairment of goodwill in accordance with FASB ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other. Goodwill is considered to be impaired if it is determined that the carrying value of the Company exceeds its fair value. The Company conducts an impairment test of goodwill on an annual basis as of October 1 of each year. In addition to the annual review, an interim review is required if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of the Company below its carrying amount. Examples of such events or circumstances include:

Intangible Assets

The Company capitalizes the costs of purchased patents, trademarks, customer, and technology related intangibles.

Indefinite lived intangible assets consist of in-process research and development (IPR&D) acquired in the acquisition of Aldagen. The acquired IPR&D consists of specific cell populations (that are related to a specific indication) and the use of the cell populations in treating particular medical conditions. The Company evaluates its indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, and at least on an annual basis as of October 1 of each year, by comparing the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss in the amount of that excess.

Identifiable intangible assets with finite lives consist of trademarks, technology (including patents), and customer relationships acquired in business combinations. These intangibles are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. The Company reviews its finite-lived intangible assets for potential impairment when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of assets may not be recoverable, and at least on an annual basis as of October 1 of each year, by comparing the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss in the amount of that excess.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, current income tax expense or benefit is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable or refundable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and tax credits and loss carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Tax rate changes are reflected in income during the period such changes are enacted.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, the income tax provision relates exclusively to a deferred tax liability associated with the amortization of goodwill. The Company has analyzed filing positions in all of the federal and state jurisdictions where it is required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. The only periods subject to examination for the Company’s federal return are the 2008 through 2012 tax years. The Company believes that its income tax filing positions and deductions would be sustained on audit and does not anticipate any adjustments that would result in a material change to its financial position. Therefore, no reserves for uncertain income tax positions have been recorded.

The Company’s policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits is to record such items as a component of income before taxes. There were no such items for 2012 and 2011.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenue in accordance with FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. ASC 605 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 or determinable; and (4) collectability is reasonably assured.

Sales of products

The Company provides for the sale of its products, including disposable processing sets and supplies to customers. Revenue from sales products is recognized upon shipment of products to the customers. The Company does not maintain a reserve for returned products as in the past those returns have not been material.

Usage or leasing of blood separation equipment

As a result of the acquisition of the Angel® business in 2010, the Company acquired various multiple element revenue arrangements that combine the (i) usage or leasing of blood separation processing equipment, (ii) maintenance of processing equipment, and (iii) purchase of disposable processing sets and supplies. Under these arrangements, the total arrangement consideration is allocated to the various elements based on their relative estimated selling prices. The usage of the blood separation processing equipment is accounted for as an operating lease; since customer payments are contingent upon the customer ordering new products, rental income is recorded following the contingent rental method when rental income is earned and collectability is reasonably assured. The sale of disposable processing sets and supplies and maintenance are deemed a combined unit of accounting; since (a) any consideration for disposable processing sets and supplies and maintenance is contingent upon the customer ordering additional disposable processing sets and supplies and (b) both the disposable products and maintenance services are provided over the same term, the Company recognizes revenue for this combined unit of accounting following the contingent revenue method at the time disposable products are delivered based on prices contained in the agreement. Rental income is currently less than 10% of total revenue and the Company therefore does not make separate disclosure in the statement of operations.

Percentage-based fees on licensee sales of covered products are generally recorded as products are sold by licensees and are reflected as “Royalties” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Direct costs associated with product sales and royalty revenues are recorded at the time that revenue is recognized.

Option Agreement with a global pharmaceutical company

In October 2011, the Company entered into an option agreement with a top 20 global pharmaceutical company granting the potential partner an exclusive option period through June 30, 2012 regarding U.S. supply and distribution of the AutoloGel System. In exchange for this period of exclusivity, we have received non-refundable fees totaling $4.5 million. The revenue for these non-refundable fees is recognized, on a straight-line basis, over the exclusive option period based on the relative selling price, with the remaining balance recognized at the expiration of the option period. In August 2012, the parties agreed to the early termination of the August 30, 2012 exclusivity period and ceased further negotiations concerning a distribution agreement; accordingly, all fees have been recognized.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company, from time to time, may issue stock options or stock awards to employees, directors, consultants, and other service providers under its Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) (see Note 17). In some cases, it has issued compensatory warrants to service providers outside the LTIP (see Note 17).

All equity-based compensation is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing formula. The weighted-average assumptions used in the model are summarized in the following table:

		2012				2011
Risk free rate			0.63	%			1.03	%
Expected years until exercise			5.2				5.0
Expected stock volatility			129	%			141	%
Dividend yield			—				—

For stock options, expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. Due to the Company’s short operating history, it uses peer company 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 and was estimated by using peer company information. 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.

The fair value of stock options or compensatory warrants issued to service providers utilizes the same methodology with the exception of the expected term. For these awards to non-employees, the Company estimates that the options or warrants will be held for the full term.

Stock-based compensation for awards granted to non-employees is periodically remeasured as the underlying options and warrants vest. The Company recognizes an expense for such awards throughout the performance period as the services are provided by the non-employees, based on the fair value of these options and warrants at each reporting period.

The Company estimates the fair value of stock awards based on the closing market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

Income (Loss) Per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing consolidated net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding unvested restricted stock.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

For periods of net income when the effects are not anti-dilutive, diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing our net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding and the impact of all potential dilutive common shares, consisting primarily of stock options, unvested restricted stock and stock purchase warrants. The dilutive impact of our dilutive potential common shares resulting from stock options and stock purchase warrants is determined by applying the treasury stock method.

For the periods of net loss, diluted loss per share is calculated similarly to basic loss per share because the impact of all dilutive potential common shares is anti-dilutive due to the net losses.

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

		2012				2011
Options			7,866,953				6,275,555
Warrants			9,242,701				13,650,844

Convertible notes			2,078,393				—
Series A Preferred Stock			—				32,554
Series B Preferred Stock			—				21,928
Series D Preferred Stock			—				7,460,339
			39,497,770				27,441,220

Defined Contribution Plans

The Company sponsors a defined contribution plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code covering substantially all full-time U.S. employees. Employee contributions are voluntary and are determined on an individual basis subject to the maximum allowable under federal tax regulations. Participants are always fully vested in their contributions. Beginning in 2007, the Company modified its plan and began making employer matching contributions, which also vest immediately. This plan is designated as a “Safe Harbor” plan. During 2012 and 2011, the Company contributed approximately $126,000 and $54,000 in cash to the plan.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The balance sheets include various financial instruments that are carried at fair value. Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include:

An asset’s or liability’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. At each reporting period, we perform a detailed analysis of our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. All assets and liabilities for which the fair value measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs or instruments which trade infrequently and therefore have little or no price transparency are classified as Level 3.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  – (continued)

The Company accounts for derivative instruments under ASC 815, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended and interpreted. ASC 815 requires that we recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Certain warrants issued in 2009 and prior years meet the definition of derivative liabilities. In October 2010, we executed an equity-linked transaction in which detachable stock purchase warrants were sold; the warrants are accounted for as a derivative liability. In July and November 2011, we issued convertible notes that contained embedded conversion options; the embedded conversion options are accounted for as a derivative liability. We determine the fair value of these derivative liabilities using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. This model determines fair value by requiring the use of estimates that include the contractual term, expected volatility of the Company’s stock price, expected dividends and the risk-free interest rate. Changes in fair value are classified in “other income (expense)” in the consolidated statement of operations.

Additional information regarding fair value is disclosed in Note 4.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

ASU No. 2011-08, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) — Testing Goodwill for Impairment.” The amendments in this update are intended to reduce complexity and costs by allowing an entity the option to make a qualitative evaluation about the likelihood of goodwill impairment to determine whether it should calculate the fair value of a reporting unit. The amendments also improve previous guidance by expanding upon the examples of events and circumstances that an entity should consider between annual impairment tests in determining whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Also, the amendments improve the examples of events and circumstances that an entity having a reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount should consider in determining whether to measure an impairment loss, if any, under the second step of the goodwill impairment test. The amendments are effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011, if an entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued. ASU 2011-08 became effective for the Company on January 1, 2012 and did not have a significant impact on the Company’s financial statements.

ASU No. 2012-02, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) — Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment.” The objective of the amendments in this Update is to reduce the cost and complexity of performing an impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets by simplifying how an entity tests those assets for impairment and to improve consistency in impairment testing guidance among long-lived asset categories. The amendments permit an entity first to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350-30, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other — General Intangibles Other than Goodwill. The more-likely-than-not threshold is defined as having a likelihood of more than 50 percent. The amendments in this Update apply to all entities, both public and nonpublic, that have indefinite-lived intangible assets, other than goodwill, reported in their financial statements. The amendments are effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted, including for annual and interim impairment tests performed as of a date before July 27, 2012, if a public entity’s financial statements for the most recent annual or interim period have not yet been issued or, for nonpublic entities, have not yet been made available for issuance. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of this amendment will have on its financial statements.

ASU 2011-05,” Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income (ASU 2011-05).” The objective of this Update is to improve the comparability, consistency, and transparency of financial reporting and to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-05 was adopted by the Company in the first quarter of 2012. The Company does not have any components of other

Note 3 — Business Combinations

Business Combination — Aldagen, Inc.

Cytomedix develops, sells, and licenses regenerative biological therapies intended to aid the human body in regenerating/healing itself, to primarily address the areas of wound care, infection control, and orthopedic surgery. On February 8, 2012, the Company acquired control of Aldagen, Inc. (“Aldagen”) by purchasing all of Aldagen’s issued and outstanding capital stock and convertible promissory notes. The acquisition of Aldagen allows the Company to expand its approach to developing regenerative biological therapies, by using Aldagen’s proprietary ALDH bright cell (“ALDHbr”) technology.

As initial consideration, Cytomedix issued 135,398 shares of its Series E Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”) to Aldagen’s former investors. In May 2012, the Series E Preferred Stock automatically converted into shares of common stock pursuant to its terms, in a 100-for-1 shares ratio, upon the Company’s filing of an amended Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. In July 2012, Aldagen’s former investors agreed to release 139,830 Common shares held in escrow to offset their liability for excess transaction expenses incurred by the Company in its acquisition of Aldagen; the Company believes that the impact of this measurement period adjustment was not material and, accordingly, recorded the adjustment in the third quarter 2012.

In addition to the Series E Preferred Stock, Aldagen’s former investors have the right to receive up to 20,309,723 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Contingent Consideration”), contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones related to the current ALD-401 Phase 2 clinical trial. On February 18, 2013, the Company and Aldagen Holdings, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Aldagen Holdings”), executed an amendment to the Contingent Consideration (see Note 22). Finally, each holder of warrants to acquire shares of Aldagen capital stock agreed to exchange the Aldagen warrants for warrants to acquire an aggregate of 2,115,596 shares of the Company’s common stock with an exercise price of $1.42 per share (the “Replacement Warrants”). Each Replacement Warrants expire December 31, 2014 and, subject to call provisions of the Replacement Warrants, are exercisable as follows: (i) commencing on the issuance date, for up to 30% of the total shares of the Company’s common stock exercisable under the Replacement Warrants, and (ii) upon issuance of the final tranche of the Contingent Consideration, for the remaining balance of the shares under the Replacement Warrants. The Replacement Warrants contain exercise price adjustments, cashless exercise and other provisions customary to instruments of this nature. As part of the acquisition of Aldagen, the Company incurred approximately $528,000 in acquisition costs in 2012. These costs are included in operating expenses as follows:

Consulting expenses		$	274,000
Professional fees			225,000
General and administrative expenses			29,000
Total acquisition costs		$	528,000

Simultaneous with the closing of the Acquisition, the Company executed several other transactions, which are not considered part of the purchase consideration, as follows.

Issuance of Common Stock

On February 8, 2012 and simultaneous with the closing of the Acquisition, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain accredited investors, with respect to the sale of shares of its common stock, for gross proceeds of $5 million. See Note 16.

Redemption of Series A and Series B Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

The Company redeemed all outstanding shares of its Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, for $207,000 in cash, pursuant to their terms. See Note 16.

Series D Convertible Preferred Stock Conversions

All holders of the Company’s outstanding Series D Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”) purchased in a private placement of the Company’s securities in April 2010 converted those preferred shares into shares of the Company’s common stock prior to the original redemption date of April 2013, under the terms of such securities at the conversion price of $0.4392 per share (or $0.558 per share in case of affiliates), for the total of 7,790,350 shares of common stock, which included 330,000 shares of common stock representing forgone dividend payments to such holders through April 2013. See Note 16.

Warrant Exercises

An offer was extended to certain holders of Company warrants (holding warrants to purchase approximately 5.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock) acquired in previously reported transactions in 2010 and 2011 requesting them to exercise their respective warrants pursuant to the terms of individually negotiated and executed warrant exercise agreements, in exchange for additional equity considerations. In consideration for such early exercises and estimated proceeds of approximately $2.8 million, the Company agreed to issue additional warrants to purchase an aggregate of 1,180,547 shares of common stock, at an exercise price per share of $1.42. Each warrant expires December 31, 2014 and, subject to call provisions of the warrant, is exercisable as follows: (i) commencing on the issuance date, for up to 30% of shares of the Company’s common stock under each warrant, and (ii) upon issuance of the final tranche of the Contingent Consideration, for the remaining balance of the warrant. Each warrant also contains exercise price adjustments, cashless exercise and other provisions customary to the instruments of this nature. See Note 16.

Post-Combination Stock-Based Compensation

Each outstanding option to acquire shares of Aldagen capital stock was cancelled and, in satisfaction of a closing condition, the Company’s Board granted approximately 1.7 million options to acquire shares of the Company’s stock to certain newly added employees, officers, directors and advisors under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan. The new options vest during a post-combination service period and will be expensed during such service period. See Note 16.

As the Series E Preferred Stock contains no liquidation preferences or special dividend rights, and is automatically converted into common stock once sufficient common stock is authorized, the Company determined that its fair value is essentially the same as the fair value of the underlying common stock into which it is exchangeable. Accordingly, the Company valued the Series E Preferred Stock using the closing price of its common stock on the acquisition date. The Series E Preferred Stock was converted into common stock in May 2012.

Aldagen’s former investors have the right to receive up to 20,309,723 shares of the Company’s common stock contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones related to the current ALD-401 Phase 2 clinical trial. The total undiscounted value of the contingent consideration assuming the successful completion of all specified milestones and using the Company’s stock price as of the acquisition date is approximately $28.4 million. As of the acquisition date, the Company recorded $11.1 million in contingent consideration classified as a liability, subject to remeasurement (mark to market) at every balance sheet date, until sufficient common stock is authorized. The Company determined the fair value of the contingent consideration with the assistance of a third party valuation expert; the fair value was determined using a probability weighted cash flow approach, which includes unobservable inputs such as projected achievement of certain technical milestones, the estimated dates of the achievement of the milestones, and discount rate. Upon the authorization of sufficient common stock, the contingent consideration will be reclassified to equity, at its current fair value, and remeasurement will cease. Sufficient common stock was authorized in May 2012. On February 18, 2013, the Company and Aldagen Holdings, executed an amendment to the Contingent Consideration (see Note 22).

The Company determined the fair value of the Replacement Warrants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of unobservable inputs such as the expected term, anticipated volatility and expected dividends.

Note 3 — Business Combinations  – (continued)

Identifiable intangible assets associated with trademarks and tradenames will be amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 20 years. Identifiable intangible assets associated with IPR&D are initially classified as indefinite lived; such classification will be reassessed every reporting period based on the status of the research and development projects. Goodwill, primarily related to expected clinical and commercial synergies gained from combining operations, sales growth from future product offerings and customers, together with certain intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce, which is not tax deductible since the transaction was structured as a tax-free exchange, is considered an indefinite lived asset.

Aldagen recognized approximately $217,000 of revenue and $5,542,000 of net losses from the acquisition date through December 31, 2012, which results are included in the Company’s 2012 consolidated financial statements.

The following unaudited pro forma financial information summarizes the results of operations for the periods indicated as if the purchase of Aldagen had been completed as of January 1, 2011. Pro forma information primarily reflects adjustments relating to (i) elimination of the interest on Aldagen’s promissory notes, (ii) additional stock-based compensation expense, (iii) elimination of the impact of the changes in the fair value of Aldagen’s derivative liabilities, and (iv) the amortization of intangibles acquired. The pro forma amounts do not purport to be indicative of the results that would have actually been obtained if the acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2011 or that may be obtained in the future.

Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability assuming an orderly transaction in the most advantageous market at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in measuring fair value.

Short-term Financial Instruments

The inputs used in measuring the fair value of cash and short-term investments are considered to be Level 1 in accordance with the three-tier fair value hierarchy. The fair market values are based on period-end statements supplied by the various banks and brokers that held the majority of the Company’s funds. The fair value of other short-term financial instruments (primarily accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses) approximate their carrying values because of their short-term nature.

Other Financial Instruments

The Company has segregated its financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value into the most appropriate level within the fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to determine the fair value at the measurement date in the table below. The Company has no non-financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value.

Gains and losses in the fair value of the contingent consideration are classified as the “change in fair value of contingent consideration” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. All other gains and losses in the fair value of derivative instruments are classified as the “change in the fair value of derivative instruments” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

The fair value of the contingent consideration is determined using a probability weighted cash flow approach, which includes unobservable inputs such as projected achievement of certain technical milestones and discount rate. Changes in any of the assumptions related to the unobservable inputs identified above may change the fair value of the contingent consideration. Increases in projected achievement of certain technical milestones dates generally result in increases in fair value, while increases in discount rate generally result in decreases in fair value.

The fair value of the stock purchase warrants and embedded conversion options is determined based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, and includes the use of unobservable inputs such as the expected term, anticipated volatility and expected dividends. Changes in any of the assumptions related to the unobservable inputs identified above may change the fair value of the stock purchase warrants. Increases in expected term, anticipated volatility and expected dividends generally result in increases in fair value, while decreases in the unobservable inputs generally result in decreases in fair value.

Note 4 — Fair Value Measurements  – (continued)

The terms of certain stock purchase warrants were modified in January 2011, resulting in a reclassification of the fair value of these warrants from derivative liabilities to additional paid-in capital. In addition, unamortized deferred financing costs relating to the issuance of the stock purchase warrants was also reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

In July and November 2011, we issued convertible notes that contained embedded conversion options which met the criteria for derivative liabilities. The fair value of the conversion options, at December 31, 2012, approximates $800,000.

In October 2012, the Company purchased a Certificate of Deposit (“CD”) from its commercial bank in the amount of $53,000. This CD bears interest at an annual rate of 0.20% and matures on June 24, 2013. The $53,000 carrying value of the CD approximates its fair value. This CD collateralizes the Letter of Credit described in Commitment and Contingencies (see Note 21).

Note 5 — License Fees

In October 2011, the Company entered into an option agreement with a top 20 global pharmaceutical company granting the potential partner an exclusive option period through June 30, 2012 regarding U.S. supply and distribution of the AutoloGel System. In exchange for this period of exclusivity, we have received non-refundable fees totaling $4.5 million. The revenue for these non-refundable fees is recognized, on a straight-line basis, over the exclusive option period based on the relative selling price, with the remaining balance recognized at the expiration of the option period. In August 2012, the parties agreed to the early termination of the August 30, 2012 exclusivity period and ceased further negotiations concerning a distribution agreement; accordingly, all fees have been recognized.

Note 6 — Cash

At December 31, 2012, the Company had dedicated approximately $1,524,000 of its cash balance for use in conjunction with the ALD-401 Phase 2 clinical trial and related matters, pursuant to provisions in the Aldagen acquisition agreements.

Note 11 — Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets  – (continued)

As a result of the Company’s acquisition of Aldagen in February 2012, Cytomedix recorded goodwill of approximately $422,000.

Prior to the acquisition of Aldagen, the Company had goodwill of approximately $707,000 as a result of the acquisition of the Angel Business in April 2010. The Company conducts an impairment test of goodwill on an annual basis as of October 1 of each year. The Company will also conduct tests if events occur or circumstances change that would, more likely than not, reduce the fair value of the Company below its carrying value. The Company determined that there was no impairment per its test as of October 1, 2012 and no such triggering events were identified during the year ended December 31, 2012.

The table below sets forth the changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the period indicated:

Balance at January 1, 2011		$	706,823
Change in 2011			—
Balance at December 31, 2011		$	706,823
Goodwill related to Aldagen acquisition			616,826
Adjustment as a result of immaterial measurement period change			(195,132	)
Balance at December 31, 2012		$	1,128,517

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Cytomedix’s identifiable intangible assets consist of trademarks, technology (including patents), customer relationships, and in-process research and development. These assets are a result of the Angel Business and Aldagen acquisitions. The carrying value of those intangible assets, and the associated amortization, were as follows:

		December 31, 2012				December 31, 2011
Trademarks		$	2,310,000			$	320,000
Technology			2,355,000				2,355,000
Customer relationships			708,000				708,000
In-process research and development			29,585,000				—
Total		$	34,958,000			$	3,383,000
Less accumulated amortization			(822,713	)			(466,958	)
		$	34,135,287			$	2,916,042

The Company’s intangible assets that have finite lives are amortized over their useful lives and reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, and at least on an annual basis on October 1 of each year. If any indicators were present, the Company would test for recoverability by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the net undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated from the asset. If those net undiscounted cash flows do not exceed the carrying amount (i. e., the asset is not recoverable), the Company would perform the next step, which is to determine the fair value of the asset and record an impairment loss, if any. The Company periodically reevaluates the useful lives for these intangible assets to determine whether events and circumstances warrant a revision in their remaining useful lives. The Company determined that there was no impairment per its test as of October 1, 2012 and no such triggering events were identified during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Note 11 — Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets  – (continued)

The Company evaluates its indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable, and at least on an annual basis on October 1 of each year, by comparing the fair value of the asset with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the intangible asset exceeds its fair value, the Company would recognize an impairment loss in the amount of that excess. The Company’s sole indefinite-lived intangible asset is its in-process research and development acquired in connection with its acquisition of Aldagen; no impairment charges were recorded during 2012. The in-process research and development asset consists of its ALDH bright cell platform. The Company is currently conducting a phase 2 clinical trial for this technology in ischemic stroke. Enrollment in that trial is expected to complete within the coming 12 months and top-line data is expected to be available approximately four months following completion of enrollment. If the trial is successful, it should provide efficacy data sufficient to appropriately power a phase 3 trial and would also further validate the technology. However, there is no assurance that this trial will be successful. The Company determined that there was no impairment per its test as of October 1, 2012 and no such triggering events were identified during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Amortization expense of approximately $157,000 was recorded to cost of sales and approximately $199,000 was recorded to general and administrative expense in the year ended December 31, 2012. Annual amortization expense based on our existing intangible assets and their estimated useful lives is expected to be approximately:

2013			366,500
2014			366,500
2015			366,500
2016			366,500
2017			366,500
Thereafter			2,718,600

In September 2012, the Company received $30,000 in proceeds for an Economic Development Fund Agreement with Montgomery County Maryland as a “conditional grant” to be funded by the County’s Department of Economic Development. This conditional grant is to be repaid with interest unless certain performance conditions are achieved through 2017. If the performance conditions are met then repayment of principal and interest is forgiven.

Note 14 — Debt

4% Convertible Notes

On July 15, 2011, Cytomedix issued $1.3 million of its 4% Convertible Notes (the “July 4% Convertible Notes”) to an unaffiliated third party. The July 4% Convertible Notes mature on July 15, 2014 and bear a one-time interest charge of 4% due on maturity. The July 4% Convertible Notes (plus accrued interest) convert at the option of the holder, in whole or in part and from time to time, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to (i) the lessor of $0.80 per share or (ii) 80% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of the Company’s common stock for the previous 20 trading days prior to conversion (subject to a “floor” price of $0.25 per share). At December 31, 2012, $600,023 face amount of the July 4% Convertible Notes remained outstanding and were convertible into approximately 1.1 million shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.55 per share.

On November 18, 2011, Cytomedix issued $0.5 million of its 4% Convertible Notes (the “November 4% Convertible Notes”) to the same unaffiliated third party. The November 4% Convertible Notes mature on November 18, 2014 and bear a one-time interest charge of 4% due on maturity. The November 4% Convertible Notes (plus accrued interest) convert at the option of the holder, in whole or in part and from time to time, into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to 80% of the average of the three lowest closing prices of the Company’s common stock for the previous 20 trading days prior to conversion (subject to a “floor” price of $0.25 per share). At December 31, 2012, the November 4% Convertible Notes were convertible into approximately 0.9 million shares of common stock at a conversion price of $0.55 per share.

The investor has the option to provide additional funding of up to $1.0 million on substantially the same terms; however, the Company may elect to cancel such notes, in its sole discretion, with no penalty.

The conversion option embedded in the July and November 4% Convertible Notes is accounted for as a derivative liability, and resulted in the creation at issuance of a discount to the carrying amount of the debt, totaling $1.8 million, which is being amortized as additional interest expense using the straight-line method over the term of the July and November 4% Convertible Notes (the Company determined that using the straight-line method of amortization did not yield a materially different amortization schedule than the effective interest method). The embedded conversion option is recorded at fair value and is marked to market at each period, with the resulting change in fair value being reflected as “change in fair value of derivative liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 14 — Debt  – (continued)

12% Interest Only Note

On April 28, 2011, the Company borrowed $2.1 million pursuant to a secured promissory note that matures April 28, 2015. The note accrues interest at a rate of 12% per annum, and requires interest-only payments each quarter commencing September 30, 2011, with the then outstanding principal due on the maturity date, or April 28, 2015. The note may be accelerated by the lender if Cytomedix defaults in the performance of the terms of the promissory note, if the representations and warranties made by us in the note are materially incorrect, or if we undergo a bankruptcy event. The note is secured by business assets acquired from Sorin USA, Inc. (“Sorin”). The proceeds were used to fully satisfy the Company’s then existing obligation under a separate note payable to Sorin.

In connection with the issuance of the new secured promissory note, the Company issued the lender a warrant to purchase up to 1,000,000 shares at an exercise price of $0.50 per share vesting as follows: (a) 666,667 shares upon issuance of the note, (b) 83,333 shares if the note has not been prepaid by the first anniversary of its issuance, (c) 116,667 shares if the note has not been prepaid by the second anniversary of its issuance, and (d) 133,333 shares if the note has not been prepaid by the third anniversary of its issuance.

Of the $2,100,000 due under the note, our payment obligations with respect to $1,400,000 under the note were guaranteed by certain insiders, affiliates, and shareholders of the Company, including one of the Company’s directors. In connection with this guarantee, the Company issued the guarantors warrants to purchase an aggregate of up to 1,500,000 shares, on a pro rata basis based on the amount of the guarantee, at an exercise price of $0.50 per share vesting as follows: (a) 833,333 shares upon issuance of the note, (b) 166,667 shares if the note has not been prepaid by the first anniversary of its issuance, (c) 233,333 shares if the note has not been prepaid by the second anniversary of its issuance, and (d) 266,667 shares if the note has not been prepaid by the third anniversary of its issuance.

The warrants issued to the lender and the guarantors were valued at approximately $546,000, were recorded as deferred debt issuance costs, and are being amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the four-year guarantee period. The Company determined that the straight-line method of amortization did not yield a materially different amortization schedule from the effective interest method.
