NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — Business and Presentation

Description of 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.

Our current commercial offerings consist of point of care technologies for the safe and efficient separation of autologous blood and bone marrow to produce platelet based therapies or cell concentrates. Today, we have two distinct platelet rich plasma (“PRP”) devices, the AutoloGel System for wound care and the Angel concentrated Platelet Rich Plasma (“cPRP”) System for orthopedics markets. Our sales are predominantly (approximately 87%) in the United States, where we sell our products through direct sales representatives. Growth drivers in the U.S. include Medicare coverage for the treatment of chronic wounds under a National Coverage Determination when registry data is collected under Coverage with Evidence Development (“CED”), and a worldwide distribution and licensing agreement that allows our partner to promote the Angel System for all uses other than wound care.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

The unaudited financial statements included herein are presented on a condensed consolidated basis and have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state such information. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures, including a description of significant accounting policies normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.

The year-end balance sheet data were derived from audited consolidated financial statements but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for any subsequent quarter or the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

We compute basic and diluted net loss per common share using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During periods of net losses, shares associated with outstanding stock options, stock warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt are not included because the inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The total numbers of such shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share were 28,207,642 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and 19,164,126 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired in business combinations. 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.

	4

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 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.

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.

Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company believes the adoption of Accounting Standards Updates issued but not yet adopted will not have a material impact to our results of operations or financial position.

Note 3 — Arthrex Distributor and License Agreement and Related Matters

Arthrex Distributor and License Agreement

On August 7, 2013, the Company entered into a Distributor and License Agreement (the “Arthrex Agreement”) with Arthrex, Inc., a privately held Florida based company (“Arthrex”). Under the terms of the Arthrex Agreement, Arthrex will obtain the exclusive rights to sell, distribute, and service the Company’s Angel Concentrated Platelet System and ActivAt (“Products”), throughout the world, for all uses other than chronic wound care. The Company granted Arthrex a limited license to use the Company’s intellectual property as part of enabling Arthrex to sell the Products. Arthrex will purchase Products from the Company to distribute and service at certain purchase prices, which may be changed after an initial period. Arthrex has the right, on written notice to the Company, to assume responsibility for the manufacture and supply of the Products, either by assuming the Company’s existing manufacturing and supply agreements or by entering into new manufacturing and supply agreements. Arthrex will also pay a certain royalty rate based upon volume of the Products sold. The exclusive nature of Arthrex rights to sell, distribute and service the Products is subject certain existing supply and distribution agreements such that Arthrex may instruct the Company to terminate or not renew any of such agreements. In addition, Arthrex’s rights to sell, distribute and service the Products is not exclusive in the non-surgical dermal and non-surgical aesthetics markets. In connection with the execution of the Arthrex Agreement, Arthrex agreed to pay the Company a nonrefundable upfront payment of $5 million. The term of the Arthrex Agreement is five years, automatically renewable for an additional three-year period unless Arthrex gives the Company a termination notice at least one year in advance of the end of the initial five-year period. The Arthrex Agreement contains other terms and provisions that are customary to the agreements of this nature. The foregoing description of the Arthrex Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Arthrex Agreement.

Immediately following the execution of the Arthrex Agreement, the Company, at the request of Arthrex, agreed to temporarily provide certain services to Arthrex during a transition period (“Transition Services”). These Transition Services primarily involve customer service, sales order fulfillment, customer billing and collections, and technical support for the Products. For these services, Arthrex will pay the Company an agreed upon fee. The Transition Services period is expected to conclude by the end of 2013.

Midcap Consent and First Amendment to Security Agreement

In connection with the Arthrex licensing engagement, on August 7, 2013, the Company entered into Consent and First Amendment to Security Agreement (the “Amendment to Credit Agreement”) with MidCap Funding III, LLC, as a lender and administrative agent for the lenders (“Agent”) amending that Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of February 13, 2013, by and among the Company and the Agent and the Lenders party thereto (the “Original Credit Agreement”). Under the terms of the Amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Agent consented, among other things, to the Company’s entering the Arthrex Agreement. In addition, the parties amended the Credit Agreement to terminate the Company’s ability to borrow an additional $3 million, reducing the loan amount from $7.5 million to $4.5 million, $4.5 million of which has been extended to the Company to date. The Company makes monthly payments under the credit facility in the amount of $150,000.

	5

Finally, the Company granted to the Agent a first priority security interest in the royalty payments payable to the Company pursuant to the Arthrex Agreement. The Amendment to Credit Agreement contains other terms and provisions that are customary to the agreements of this nature. The foregoing description of the Amendment to Credit Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Amendment to Credit Agreement.

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.

The carrying amounts of the liabilities measured at fair value are as follows:

Description	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total

Liabilities at September 30, 2013:
Embedded conversion options	$	—	$	—	$	358,339	$	358,339

Total measured at fair value	$	—	$	—	$	358,339	$	358,339

Liabilities at December 31, 2012:
Embedded conversion options	$	—	$	—	$	780,960	$	780,960

Total measured at fair value	$	—	$	—	$	780,960	$	780,960

The liabilities measured at fair value in the above table are included with “derivative and other liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

The following table sets forth a summary of changes in the fair value of Level 3 liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013:

Description	Balance at December 31, 2012		Established in 2012		Modification of Convertible Debt Agreement		Conversion to Common Stock		Change in Fair Value		Effect of Extinguishment of Debt		Balance at September 30, 2013

Derivative liabilities:
Embedded conversion options	$	780,960	$	—	$	250,361	$	(244,477)	$	(250,349)	$	(178,156)	$	358,339

	6

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 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 embedded conversion options. 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.

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 September 30, 2013, approximates $465,000.

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 0.10% and matures on February 24, 2014. 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 18).

Note 10 — Goodwill and Identifiable Intangible Assets

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the purchase price of acquisitions in excess of the amounts assigned to acquired tangible or intangible assets and assumed liabilities. Amounts allocated to goodwill are tax deductible in all relevant jurisdictions.

As a result of the Company’s acquisition of Aldagen in February 2012, the Company 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.

During 2013, planned enrollment in the Company’s Phase 2 clinical trial for ALDH-401 began experiencing patient enrollment delays. The delay has resulted in extended time to enroll and added costs associated with the delay. On September 17, 2013, Cytomedix announced its decision to become a more commercially focused company and reorganize its research and development activities. The plan includes a strategic reorganization of its research and development operations that involve the ALDH-401trial and ALDH Bright Cell platform, intention to proceed with trial enrollment through the end of 2013 with an enrollment goal of 50 patients, and pursuit of strategic partnerships to continue the trial beyond 2013 (“Announcement”). This Announcement identified several indicators of a potential impairment of intangible assets acquired in the Aldagen acquisition; as such, the Company felt it necessary to perform an impairment analysis on its goodwill as of September 30, 2013.

U.S. GAAP provides for a two-step process for measuring for impairment of goodwill. Step 1 of the impairment process is to determine if the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is considered not impaired, thus the second step of the impairment test is unnecessary.

The Company’s goodwill is contained in its sole operating segment and reporting unit. Based on its assessment that the fair value of the reporting unit (determined with reference to its quoted market cap) exceeded its carrying value at September 30, 2013, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired. Accordingly, the Step Two analysis is not applicable.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

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

	September 30,		December 31,
	2013		2012

Trademarks	$	2,310,000	$	2,310,000
Technology		2,355,000		2,355,000
Customer relationships		708,000		708,000
In-process research and development		29,585,000		29,585,000

Total	$	34,958,000	$	34,958,000
Less accumulated amortization		(1,097,463)		(822,713)
	$	33,860,537	$	34,135,287

Definite-lived intangible assets

The Company's intangible assets that have definite 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. 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.

As a result of the September 17, 2013 announcement discussed above, the Company believed an impairment assessment of the Aldagen-related Trademarks and Trademark, as of September 30, 2013, was warranted. The Company performed a quantitative assessment and identified driving factors used in the original valuation of the Trademarks and Tradename, including the projected revenue stream and discount factor that may have changed. The Company considered the impact of such changes to the undiscounted future cash flows used to value the Trademarks and Tradename, and concluded that the changes to the driving factors that management was able to quantify did not have a significant impact to the undiscounted future cash flows. The Company realizes that, in addition to the projected revenue stream and discount factor, other additional factors may have changed whose financial impacts are currently unknown, but may become more clear as strategic discussions proceed over the next few months. The Company expects that before the end of the year there will be additional clarity regarding the process and its impacts to the recoverability of the Trademarks and Tradename asset.

As a result, management concludes that the fair value of the Trademarks and Tradename definite-lived intangible asset is not less than its carrying value of approximately $1.7 million and therefore it is not impaired as of September 30, 2013.

For all other definite-lived intangible assets, there were no triggering events identified during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 that would suggest an impairment test may be needed.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets

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 (“IPR&D”) acquired in connection with its acquisition of Aldagen in 2012. The IPR&D asset consists of its ALDH bright cell platform. The Company is currently conducting (i) a Phase 2 clinical trial for this technology in ischemic stroke, (ii) a Phase 1/2 clinical trial in critical limb ischemia that is being funded by the National Institutes of Health, and (iii) a Phase 1 clinical trial in grade IV malignant glioma following surgery that is funded by Duke University.

As a result of the September 17, 2013 announcement discussed above, the Company believed an impairment assessment of the IPR&D, as of September 30, 2013, was warranted. The Company performed a quantitative assessment and identified driving factors used in the original valuation of the IPR&D, including the projected non-diagnostic revenues and expenses, clinical trial expenses, commercial revenue stream and discount factor, that may have changed. The changes to driving factors that management was able to quantify (including delayed revenue stream generation and increased clinical trial costs) were offset by the impacts on the model of the passage of time (i.e., the clinical trial delay approximates the passage of time). The Company realizes that, in addition to the delayed revenue stream generation and increased clinical trial costs, other additional factors may have changed whose financial impacts are currently unknown, but may become more clear as strategic discussions proceed over the next few months. The Company expects that before the end of the year there will be additional clarity regarding the process and its impacts to the recoverability of the IPR&D asset.

As a result, management concludes that the fair value of the IPR&D indefinite-lived intangible asset approximates its carrying value (is not less than its carrying value) and therefore it is not impaired as of September 30, 2013.

	10

Amortization expense of approximately $117,700 was recorded to cost of sales and approximately $157,000 was recorded to general and administrative expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Amortization expense for the remainder of 2013 is expected to be approximately $91,600. Annual amortization expense based on our existing intangible assets and their estimated useful lives is expected to be approximately:

2014		366,500
2015		366,500
2016		366,500
2017		366,500

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 May 23, 2016 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 unaffiliated third party, 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 lesser 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 September 30, 2013, approximately $465,000 face amount of the July 4% Convertible Notes remained and were convertible into approximately 1.5 million shares of Common stock at a conversion price of $0.31 per share.

	11

On November 18, 2011, Cytomedix issued $0.5 million of its 4% Convertible Notes (the “November 4% Convertible Notes”) to an unaffiliated third party. The November 4% Convertible Notes mature on May 23, 2016 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 September 30, 2013, no unpaid balance remained of the November 4% Convertible Notes.

The unaffiliated third party 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.

On February 19, 2013, the Company and the holder of these notes, agreed, in consideration of the subordination of the rights and remedies under these notes to that of another party, to amend the notes to extend the maturity date to May 23, 2016. Also, as part of the consideration, the Company repaid approximately $0.3 million of the principal of the note. The amendments were accounted for as a partial “extinguishment” and a partial “modification” of the notes. The partial extinguishment resulted in the immediate expensing of approximately $54,000 of new fees and expenses and $54,000 of the increase in the fair value of the embedded conversion option. The partial modification resulted in the deferral of approximately $46,000 of new fees and expenses and $197,000 of the increase in the fair value of the embedded conversion option (as additional debt discount).

12% Interest Only Note

On April 28, 2011, the Company borrowed $2.1 million pursuant to a secured promissory note that matures November 19, 2016. 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. 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 our Angel assets.

In connection with the issuance of the 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 Mr. David Jorden, 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 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.

	12

On February 19, 2013, The Company and the holder of the note, in consideration for subordination of its security interest under the note to that of another party, agreed to amend the note. In the amendment, the Company agreed to extend the maturity date of the note to November 19, 2016. In addition, the parties agreed to amend the vesting schedule on the warrants issued by the Company in April 2011 such that the remaining 250,000 warrant shares are exercisable immediately and to issue the holder 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 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 note has not been paid by the fifth anniversary of its issuance.

The Company also: (i) amended the warrant vesting schedule on the guarantors’ warrants issued by the Company in April 2011 such that the remaining 500,000 warrant shares are exercisable immediately and (ii) granted new warrants to the guarantors to 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 prepaid by the fourth anniversary of its issuance, and (ii) the remaining 266,667 shares may be exercised only if the note has not been paid by the fifth anniversary of its issuance.

The amendment was accounted for as a “modification.” Accordingly, the warrants issued to the lender as a result of the amendment (valued at approximately $152,000) were recorded as deferred debt issuance costs, and are being amortized to interest expense on a straight-line basis over the 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. The warrants issued to the guarantors as a result of the amendment were valued at approximately $304,000 and were recorded as interest expense in the first quarter of 2013.

Term Loan

On February 19, 2013, the Company entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with an unaffiliated third party that provides for an aggregate term loan commitments of $7.5 million. The Company received the first tranche of $4.5 million on February 27, 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.

In connection with the foregoing loan facility, the Company issued the lender 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 standard anti-dilution adjustments and contains a cashless exercise provision.

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 the lender a fee equal to an amount determined by multiplying the outstanding amount on the loan 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, lender may accelerate the maturity of the loans and require the full and immediate repayment of all borrowings under the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement also contains financial and customary negative covenants, including with respect 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.

	13

The warrants issued to the lender were valued at approximately $568,000, were recorded as a debt discount, and are being amortized to interest expense over the term of the loan. The Company determined that the straight-line method of amortization did not yield a materially different amortization schedule from the effective interest method. The warrants are classified in equity.

On August 7, 2013, the Company and MidCap amended the terms of the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Agent consented, among other things, to the Company’s entering the Arthrex Agreement. In addition, the parties amended the Credit Agreement to terminate the Company’s ability to borrow an additional $3 million, reducing the loan amount from $7.5 million to $4.5 million, $4.5 of which has been extended to the Company to date. The Company and MidCap also agreed to a revised monthly payment amortization schedule such that in the event that the Company raises cash proceeds of at least $500,000 before September 1, 2013 in a public or private offering of its equity securities, then, commencing on September 1, 2013, and continuing thereafter, the Company has agreed to make monthly payments under the credit facility in the amount of $125,000, provided, however, if no such subsequent equity event takes place by September 1, 2013, the monthly payments under the credit facility will be in the amount of $150,000. No such subsequent equity event took place by September 1, 2013, and the Company is required to make monthly payments under the credit facility in the amount of $150,000.

Note 15 — Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes using the asset and liability approach. This approach requires the recognition of tax benefits or expenses on the temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of the Company’s assets and liabilities. For interim periods, the Company recognizes a provision (benefit) for income taxes based on an estimated annual effective tax rate expected for the entire year. A valuation allowance is established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts expected to be realized. The Company also recognizes a tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is “more likely than not” that the position is sustainable based on its technical merits. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

Note 16 — Capital Stock Activity

Lincoln Park Transaction

On February 18, 2013, Cytomedix 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”). Under the terms and subject to the conditions of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to and Lincoln Park is obligated to purchase up to $15 million in shares of the Company’s common stock (“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 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.

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 pro rata as the Company requires Lincoln Park to purchase the Company’s shares under the Purchase Agreement over the term of the 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) 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 Purchase Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement contain customary representations, warranties, agreements and conditions to completing future sale transactions, indemnification rights and obligations of the parties. The Company has the right to terminate the Purchase Agreement at any time, at no cost or penalty. Actual sales of shares of Common Stock to Lincoln Park under the Purchase Agreement will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the Common Stock and determinations by the Company as to the appropriate sources of funding for the Company and its operations. There are no trading volume requirements or restrictions under the Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park has no right to require any sales by the Company, but is obligated to make purchases from the Company as it directs in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. Lincoln Park has covenanted not to cause or engage in any manner whatsoever, any direct or indirect short selling or hedging of our shares.

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 9,090,911 shares of the Company’s common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 6,363,638 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. The warrants are classified in equity.

Pursuant to the terms of the Placement Agent Agreement, 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 the placement agent in connection with the offering. In addition, the Company granted to the placement agent warrants to purchase 136,364 shares of our common stock. The 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.

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.

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, upon certain events outside of the Company’s control; 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. The common shares issued to MVF are classified as “contingently redeemable common shares” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The value of the warrants and offering expenses allocable to the contingently redeemable common shares was not material.

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 exercise price and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Worden Warrant is subject to standard anti-dilution provisions. The Worden Warrants contain provisions that are customary for the instruments of this nature, including, among others, a cashless exercise provision. The warrants are classified as equity.

	18

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.

JP Nevada Trust Note Amendment

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

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 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 to 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 prepaid 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 paid 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 paid by the fifth anniversary of its issuance).

The warrant was sold in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, 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) 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.

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 one of the JMJ Notes.

Note 18 — Commitments and Contingencies

Under the Company’s plan of reorganization upon emergence from bankruptcy in July 2002, the Series A Preferred stock and the dividends accrued thereon that existed prior to emergence from bankruptcy were to be exchanged into one share of new Common stock for every five shares of Series A Preferred stock held as of the date of emergence from bankruptcy. This exchange was contingent on the Company’s attaining aggregate gross revenues for four consecutive quarters of at least $10,000,000 and if met would result in the issuance of 325,000 shares of the Company’s Common stock. The Company reached such aggregate revenue levels as of the end of the quarter ended June 30, 2012 and, as a result, expensed approximately $471,000 related to the resolution of the contingency. The expense amount, classified as other expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of operations, represents the fair value of 325,000 shares of the Company’s Common stock to be issued to former Series A Preferred Stock holders. The Common stock issuable is classified as equity.

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. In February 2013, the Company and former Aldagen shareholders modified the terms of the contingent consideration. As a result of the amendment, approximately $1,006,000 was recognized as operating expense with the offset to equity.

In conjunction with its FDA clearance, the Company agreed to conduct a post-market surveillance study to further analyze the safety profile of bovine thrombin as used in the AutoloGel TM System. This study was estimated to cost between $500,000 and $700,000 over a period of several years, which began in the third quarter of 2008. As of September 30, 2013, approximately $368,000 had been incurred. Since the inception of this study, 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 study pending further discussion with the FDA.

In July 2009, in satisfaction of a new Maryland law pertaining to Wholesale Distributor Permits, the Company established a Letter of Credit, in the amount of $50,000, naming the Maryland Board of Pharmacy as the beneficiary. This Letter of Credit serves as security for the performance by the Company of its obligations under applicable Maryland law regarding this permit and is collateralized by a Certificate of Deposit (“CD”) purchased from the Company’s commercial bank. The CD bears interest at an annual rate of 0.10% and matures on February 24, 2014.

In connection with this offering, the Company and the 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, upon certain events outside of the Company’s control; 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. The common shares issued to MVF are classified as “contingently redeemable common shares” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The value of the warrants and offering expenses allocable to the contingently redeemable common shares was not material. Upon the termination of the stock repurchase agreement or the sale of the stock by MVF, the temporary equity will be re-classed to permanent equity.

Description of the Business

Corporate Overview

Cytomedix 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.

Our principal offices are located at 209 Perry Parkway, Suite 7, Gaithersburg, MD 20877 and our telephone number is (240) 499-2680. Our website address is http://www.cytomedix.com. Information contained on our website is not deemed part of this report.

The AutoloGel ^TM System

The AutoloGel System is a point of care device for the production of a platelet based bioactive wound treatment derived from a small sample of the patient’s own blood. AutoloGel is cleared by the FDA for use on exuding wounds and is currently marketed in the $3.4 billion U.S. chronic wound market. The most significant growth driver for AutoloGel is the 2012 National Coverage Determination from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) 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.

Medicare reimbursement involves three steps; coverage, assignment of eligible reimbursement codes and in many cases an associated fee schedule to stipulate the amount of reimbursement.

On October 4, 2011, based on a significant volume of supportive evidence of AutoloGel, CMS accepted a formal request by Cytomedix to reopen and revise Section 270.3 of the "Medicare NCD Manual", which addresses Autologous Blood-Derived Products for Chronic Non- Healing Wounds. Subsequently, a National Coverage Determination for autologous PRP with data collection as a condition of coverage was issued by CMS in August 2012. Since 1992, the CMS had maintained a national non-coverage determination for autologous blood derived products. This severely restricted the commercial opportunities for growing AutoloGel sales. On March 1, 2013, CMS approved four data collection protocols submitted by the Company.

On June 10, 2013, CMS established HCPCS Code G0460 (Autologous PRP for ulcers)¹ for payment effective July 1, 2013² for the treatment of chronic non-healing diabetic, venous and/or pressure wounds only in the context of an approved clinical trial. This determination permits data collection with reimbursement. In the July 2013 quarterly update of Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) assignments, CMS mapped G0460 to APC 0013, Level II Debridement and Destruction, with a payment rate of $71.54 per treatment. On September 6, 2013, Cytomedix communicated to CMS that this payment level was unsustainable for HOPDs because no PRP product can be produced for this amount or less. Following the Company’s submission of its comments on the proposed CMS rules and conclusion of the public comment period, Cytomedix is currently awaiting approval of the recommendation for CMS to permanently reassign HCPCS Code G0460 from APC 0013 to APC 0135. CMS is expected to announce final regulations on or about the last week of November 2013 and the coding and reimbursement regulations will take effect on January 1, 2014. This reassignment aligns G0460 to other procedures that have clinical and resource homogeneity, and will provide appropriate reimbursement to hospitals so that Medicare patients can participate in the AutoloGel CED studies and receive this treatment for complex, chronic, non-healing wounds.

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 and we expect to file a 510(k) application with the FDA upon the completion of platelet characterization and validation studies.

The Company is currently pursuing potential partnerships and commercial agreements for the product with interested parties.

Angel Product Line

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 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, should provide 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.

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. 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 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 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.

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.

ALDH ^br Cell Technology

The ALDH^br (“Bright Cell”) technology is a novel approach to cell-based regenerative medicine 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 healthy tissue. We acquired the Bright Cell technology with the acquisition of Aldagen in February 2012.

	24

On September 17, 2013, the Company announced its decision to begin a strategic reorganization of its research and development operations that involve the RECOVER-Stroke trial and ALDH Bright Cell platform. As part of this initiative, the Company’s ongoing financial support of the current RECOVER-Stroke trial and the underlying ALDH Bright Cell technology will be substantially concluded as of year-end 2013. The Company is exploring a range of strategic options for continuing its clinical programs beyond 2013, which options may include, among others, technology transfer, spinout, licensing or other similar transactions involving the underlying technology. The Company’s present intention is to proceed with enrollment in the trial through 2013 year end with an enrollment goal of 50 patients. As of October 2013, enrollment is currently at 44 patients. Depending on the success of the Company’s efforts to pursue strategic options for continuing its clinical programs, the Company may determine to conclude the study beyond December 31 and unblind the study data upon the availability of the primary efficacy endpoint from all subjects.

Results of Operations

Certain numbers in this section have been rounded for ease of analysis.

Product sales continued along a steady growth trend, with total product sales in excess of $7.5 million in the first nine months of 2013. Commencing in the third quarter of 2013 and beyond, we expect sales of Angel centrifuges and disposable products to decline following our licensing arrangement with Arthrex. We expect the impact of these pass through sales to be offset by an increase in related royalty revenue.

Our revenues will be insufficient to cover our operating expenses in the near term. Operating expenses primarily consist of employee compensation, professional fees, consulting expenses, clinical trial costs, and other general business expenses such as insurance, travel related expenses, and sales and marketing related items. Operating expenses have risen to support the continuing growth of product sales, our substantial efforts with regard to Medicare reimbursement for AutoloGel, and the more recent ALD-401 phase II clinical trial involving patients with ischemic stroke. The Company began plans to reorganize its research and development activities to reduce costs and refocus its efforts on the commercial wound care market. However, we expect losses to continue for the foreseeable future.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three-Month Period Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Revenues

Revenues increased $1,607,000 (91%) to $3,366,000 comparing the three months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to a one-time, non-recurring sale of $1,294,000 for existing, placed Angel centrifuges to Arthrex made pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Arthrex Agreement. The Company’s product sales, excluding the sale of existing Angel centrifuges to Arthrex, decreased $72,000. The decrease in disposable sales was primarily due to a reduction in Angel average selling price, partially offset by an increase in sales volume. Under the Arthrex Agreement, the contractual selling price of products is significantly lower than our historical average selling price. In addition to product sales, we recognized an increase of $188,000 in royalty revenue, $129,000 in transition services revenue, and $67,000 in license fee revenue from the Arthrex Agreement. Arthrex has agreed to pay the Company a service fee to provide certain services during a transition period. These services include customer service and order fulfillment and is expected to end prior to the end of 2013 (“Transitions Services Period”).

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased $245,000 (32%) to $516,000 comparing the three months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of disposable products and centrifuges under the Arthrex Agreement. Although the cost of our products has remained constant, under the agreement, the contractual selling price of Angel products to Arthrex is significantly lower than our historical average selling price. In addition and consistent with the applicable accounting rules, the sale price of existing Angel centrifuges and the related cost of sale, under the Arthrex Agreement, were recorded at book value resulting in a zero-margin transaction. This is offset by an increase in gross profit from license fee, royalty, and other revenue.

Overall gross margin decreased to 15% from 43% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the sale of products under the Arthrex Agreement. Although the cost of our products has remained relatively constant, the contractual selling price of Angel products to Arthrex is significantly lower than our historical average selling price. In addition and consistent with the applicable accounting rules, the sale price of existing Angel centrifuges and the related cost of sales under the Arthrex Agreement, were recorded at book value resulting in a zero-margin transaction. This was offset by the gross margin realized from license fee, royalty, and other revenue. Additionally, gross margin on product sales decreased to 4% from 42%. Cash gross margin on product sales decreased to 7% from 52%. Cash gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure, most directly comparable to the U.S. GAAP measure of gross margin, and should not be considered as an alternative thereto. Cytomedix defines cash gross margin as gross margin exclusive of patent and royalty amortization and depreciation expense, and it is a significant performance metric used by management to indicate cash profitability on product sales.

(1) Product sales prior to the execution of the Arthrex Agreement on August 7, 2013.

Gross margin on Pre-license sales decreased primarily due to Angel machine refurbishment costs of $31,000, royalty amortization of $30,000 related to an upfront payment made in 2013 for the termination and release of a security interest in related AutoloGel patents, and $20,000 in medical device taxes which took effect in 2013.

Gross margin on Post-license Angel sales realized a negative margin primarily due to Angel machine refurbishment costs of $72,000, medical device taxes of $62,000 which took effect in 2013, and logistical costs related to the fulfillment of sales during the Transition Services Period.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $156,000 (3%) to $5,126,000 comparing the three months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period last year. A discussion of the various components of operating expenses follows below.

Salaries and Wages

Salaries and wages increased $222,000 (13%) to $1,968,000 comparing the three months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to additional employees to support increased operational activity and $139,000 of reorganization charges.

Consulting Expenses

Consulting expenses decreased $85,000 (17%) to $416,000 comparing the three months ended September 30, 2013 to the same periods last year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense for options issued to consultants in 2012 related to the Aldagen acquisition.

Professional Fees

Professional fees increased $49,000 (15%) to $385,000 comparing the three months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in costs related to various clinical matters.

Research, Development, Trials and Studies

Research, development, trials and studies expenses decreased $83,000 (8%) to $923,000 comparing the three months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to lower costs of $116,000 for manufacturing and design fees related to the revision of an Angel disposable product and $79,000 related to the development of additional Angel indications, offset by increased costs of $83,000 for the development of our CED protocols, and $36,000 related to the sourcing and testing of Angel centrifuge replacement components.

	26

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $53,000 (4%) to $1,434,000 comparing the three month ended September 30, 2013 to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to higher employee benefit costs and marketing expenses related to Autologel, offset by a decrease in investor services and stock-based compensation expense.

Other Income and Expense

Other income, net decreased $789,000 (184%) to an expense of $361,000 comparing the three months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to a $683,000 non-cash charge for the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities and a $117,000 net increase in interest expense and debt issuance fees related to various financing activities in 2013.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine-Month Period Ended September 30, 2013 and 2012

Revenues

Revenues decreased $354,000 (4%) to $8,107,000 comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period last year. This was primarily due to a decrease in license fee revenue of $3,155,000, offset by increased product sales of approximately $2,338,000, royalties of $267,000, and service revenue of $129,000. In 2012, we recognized $3,155,000 in license fee revenue related to an option agreement with a top 20 global pharmaceutical company. Increased sales were primarily due to an increase in Angel sales of approximately $2,448,000, or 52%. Pursuant to the terms and provisions of the Arthrex Agreement, we recorded a one-time, non-recurring sale of $1,294,000 for existing, placed Angel centrifuges sold to Arthrex. The Company’s product sales, excluding the sale of existing Angel centrifuges to Arthrex, increased $1,044,000. This was primarily attributable to an increase of $1,199,000 in Angel sales, offset by a decrease of $72,000 in Autologel sales and $38,000 in other sales.

Gross Profit

Gross profit decreased $3,009,000 (53%) to $2,626,000 comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to approximately $3,155,000 in license fee revenue recognized in 2012 (which had no associated cost), associated with an option agreement with a top 20 global pharmaceutical company. In addition, profit on product sales decreased $286,000. This was offset by increased profit from royalties and transition service fees.

Overall gross margin decreased to 32% from 67% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the license fee recorded in 2012 that had no associated cost of revenue, in addition to the sale of product under the Arthrex Agreement. Although the cost of our products has remained relatively constant, the contractual selling price of Angel products to Arthrex is significantly lower than our historical average selling price. In addition and consistent with the applicable accounting rules, the sale price of existing Angel centrifuges and the related cost of sales under the Arthrex Agreement, were recorded at book value resulting in a zero-margin transaction. This was offset by the gross margin realized from license fee, royalty, and other revenue. Additionally, gross margin on product sales decreased to 28% from 46%. Cash gross margin on product sales decreased to 34% from 54%. Cash gross margin is a non-GAAP financial measure, most directly comparable to the U.S. GAAP measure of gross margin, and should not be considered as an alternative thereto. Cytomedix defines cash gross margin as gross margin exclusive of patent and royalty amortization and depreciation expense, and it is a significant performance metric used by management to indicate cash profitability on product sales.

(1) Product sales prior to the execution of the Arthrex Agreement on August 7, 2013.

Gross margin on Pre-license Angel sales decreased primarily due to Angel machine refurbishment costs of $201,000, royalty amortization of $70,000 related to an upfront payment made in 2013 for the termination and release of a security interest in the related AutoloGel patents, and medical device taxes of $86,000 which took effect in 2013.

Gross margin on Post-license Angel sales realized a negative margin primarily due to Angel machine refurbishment costs of $72,000, medical device taxes of $61,000 which took effect in 2013, and logistical costs related to the fulfillment of sales during the Transition Services Period.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses increased $1,990,000 (13%) to $16,901,000 comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period last year. A discussion of the various components of operating expenses follows below.

Salaries and Wages

Salaries and wages increased $425,000 (8%) to $6,011,000 comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to increased head-count as a result of the Aldagen acquisition in February 2012 and additional employees to support increased operational activity. In addition, severance charges of approximately $186,000 were recorded related to the separation of a former Company executive and $139,000 in expense related to reorganization charges. This was offset by a lower bonus expense accrual of $178,000 and decreased stock-based compensation expense of approximately $808,000 related to the 2012 Aldagen acquisition.

Consulting Expenses

Consulting expenses decreased $188,000 (11%) to $1,597,000 comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense for options issued to consultants in 2012 related to the Aldagen acquisition, in addition to decreases in consulting expense associated with finance and quality assurance matters. This was offset by an increase in expenses related to the management, promotion, and roll-out of the CED protocols and CMS reimbursement matters.

Professional Fees

Professional fees decreased $176,000 (18%) to $827,000 comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to legal and accounting costs related to the Aldagen acquisition in the first quarter of 2012, offset by increased costs related to various other legal matters primarily related to financing activities.

	28

Research, Development, Trials and Studies

Research, development, trials and studies expenses increased $595,000 (24%) to $3,050,000 comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to increased costs of $507,000 related to the ALD-401 Phase II trial along with increased costs of $131,000 related to one-time charges for the sourcing and testing of Angel centrifuge replacement components and $83,000 for the development of our CED protocol. This was offset by a decrease of $79,000 related to the development of additional Angel indications and $45,000 for manufacturing and design fees related to the revision of an Angel disposable product.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $1,333,000 (33%) to $5,416,000 comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to a non-cash charge of $1,006,000 recognized due to the effect of the amendment to the contingent consideration associated with the Aldagen acquisition. In addition, there were increases of $157,000 in higher personnel placement fees, $122,000 in employee benefit costs due to additional employees, $101,000 in higher travel, $110,000 in higher marketing expenses, and $70,000 in franchise tax expense. These were primarily offset by a decrease of $216,000 in stock-based compensation expense and $73,000 in investor services.

Other Income and Expense

Other expense, net decreased $5,613,000 (84%) to $1,061,000 comparing the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to approximately $4,335,000 in non-cash charges recognized in 2012 due to the increase in the fair value of the contingent consideration resulting from the change in the Company’s stock price. Approximately $1,500,000 in non-cash inducement expense incurred in 2012 associated with common stock issued to compensate Series D preferred stockholders for forgone preferred dividend payments due to the early conversion of preferred stock incentive warrants issued in exchange for the early exercise of existing warrants and $471,000 in expense due to the resolution of the Series A Preferred stock contingency that was recognized in 2012 also contributed to the decrease. Additionally, there was a $527,000 net increase in interest expense and debt issuance fees related to various financing activities in 2013 and a $192,000 non-cash charge for the change in the fair value of derivative liabilities.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Since inception we have incurred, and continue to incur significant losses from operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we have incurred a net loss from operations of approximately $15.4 million and an accumulated deficit at September 30, 2013 of $86.3 million. We had working capital at September 30, 2013 of $1.0 million as compared to working capital of $5.9 million at September 30, 2012.

Historically, we have financed our operations through a combination of the sale of debt, equity and equity-linked securities, licensing, royalty, and product revenues. The Company’s commercial products and royalties have generated approximately $10.0 million in revenue per year on a run-rate basis, however future products and royalty revenues will be impacted by our licensing arrangement with Arthrex. The Company needs to sustain and grow these sales to meet its business objectives and satisfy its cash requirements. We have been dependent upon capital infusions to meet our short and long-term cash needs. If we continue to incur negative cash flow from sources of operating activities for longer than expected, our ability to continue as a going concern could be in substantial doubt and we will require additional funds through debt facilities, and/or public or private equity or debt financings to continue operations. The Company will still need to access the capital markets in the near future in order to continue to fund future operations; otherwise, it will need to significantly curtail or potentially cease its operations altogether. There is no guarantee that any such additional financing will be available on terms satisfactory to the Company or at all. Any future additional capital will likely result in dilution to our current shareholders, which may be substantial. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to obtain the capital we require on a timely basis or on terms acceptable to us.

At September 30, 2013, we had approximately $4.6 million of cash.

	29

As previously disclosed, in February 2013, we completed a financing plan that was comprised of several elements. On February 18, 2013, we entered into a purchase agreement, together with a registration rights agreement, with Lincoln Park Capital, LLC (“LPC”). Under this agreement, we have the right to sell to and LPC is obligated to purchase up to $15 million in shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations, from time to time, over the 30-month period commencing in July 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. To date, we have raised approximately $59 thousand under the terms of the purchase agreement. In addition, on February 19, 2013, in addition to a Credit and Security Agreement with Midcap Financial LLC, as described below, we entered into securities purchase agreements with certain institutional accredited investors and raised gross proceeds of $5 million, before placement agent’s fees and other offering expenses, in a registered offering 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). Proceeds from the offering were used for general corporate and working capital purposes. Also on February 19, 2013, we entered into a Credit and Security Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Midcap Financial LLC (“Midcap”), that provides for the originally contemplated term loan commitments of $7.5 million, $4.5 million of which we received on February 27, 2013. As originally contemplated, the second tranche of $3.0 million was going to be advanced to the Company, at the Company’s discretion, upon satisfaction of the certain previously disclosed conditions. However, in order to complete the Arthrex licensing engagement (as discussed below) and the Distributor and License Agreement in connection therewith, on August 7, 2013, we entered into the Amendment to Credit Agreement with MidCap, under which MidCap consented, among other things, to the Company’s entering the Arthrex agreement. In addition, the parties amended the Credit Agreement to terminate the Company’s ability to borrow an additional $3 million. The Company and MidCap also agreed to a revised monthly payment amortization schedule such that in the event that the Company raises cash proceeds of at least $500,000 before September 1, 2013 in a public or private offering of its equity securities, then, commencing on September 1, 2013, and continuing thereafter, the Company has agreed to make monthly payments under the credit facility in the amount of $125,000, provided, however, if no such subsequent equity event takes place by September 1, 2013, the monthly payments under the credit facility will be in the amount of $150,000. Since no subsequent equity event took place by September 1, 2013, and the Company is required to make monthly payments under the credit facility in the amount of $150,000. Finally, the Company granted to MidCap a first priority security interest in the royalty payments payable to the Company pursuant to the Arthrex agreement.

Finally, on August 7, 2013, we entered into the Distributor and License agreement with Arthrex, Inc. Under the terms of this agreement, Arthrex has obtained the exclusive rights to sell, distribute, and service the Company’s Angel products throughout the world, for all uses other than chronic wound care. In connection with the execution of the Arthrex agreement, Arthrex agreed to pay the Company a nonrefundable upfront payment of $5 million. The term of the Arthrex Agreement is five years, automatically renewable for an additional three-year period unless Arthrex gives the Company a termination notice at least one year in advance of the end of the initial five-year period.

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 if and when they materialize to secure non-dilutive sources of funding. There is no assurance that we will be able to secure such relationships or, even if we do, the terms will be favorable to us.

If significant amounts of capital infusion are not available to the Company from future strategic partnerships or under the Lincoln Park 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, 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, and the Company will need to appropriately curtail or potentially cease its operations altogether.

Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities	$	1.5	$	(1.4)
Cash flows provided by financing activities	$	8.6	$	12.2

Operating Activities

Cash used in operating activities in 2013 of $8.1 million primarily reflects our net loss of $15.4 million adjusted by a (i) $4.9 million increase for changes in assets and liabilities, (ii) $1.0 million increase due to the non-cash effect of the amendment to the contingent consideration, (iii) $0.9 million increase for depreciation and amortization, (iv) $0.5 increase for stock-based compensation, (v) $0.3 million increase due to the non-cash effect of the issuance of warrants for the term loan modification, (vi) $0.3 million decrease for change in derivative liabilities, and (vii) $0.6 million gain on disposal of assets. The $4.9 million increase for changes in assets and liabilities, in part reflects a net $4.0 million increase in deferred revenue for pre-paid license fees and Angel products under the Arthrex Agreement.

Cash used in operating activities in 2012 of $7.2 million primarily reflects our net loss of $16.0 million adjusted by a (i) $4.3 million increase for change in contingent consideration relating to the Aldagen acquisition, (ii) $1.8 million increase for stock-based compensation, (iii) $1.5 million increase for non-cash inducement expense associated with warrant exercise agreements, (iv) $0.8 million increase for depreciation and amortization, (v) $0.5 million increase for settlement of contingency expense, (vi) $0.5 million increase for non-cash interest expense, (vii) $0.5 million decrease for changes in assets and liabilities, and (viii) $0.4 million decrease for change in derivative liabilities. The $0.5 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.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by (used in) investing activities in 2013 and 2012 primarily reflects the net activity of purchases and sales of Angel and AutoloGel centrifuge equipment. In 2013, existing Angel centrifuges with a net book value of $1.3 million were sold under the Arthrex Agreement.

Financing Activities

In 2013, we raised $5.0 million, before placement agent fees and offering expenses, through the issuance of common stock and received $4.5 million from a term loan. This was offset by $0.3 million in debt issuance costs, a $0.3 million cash repayment of our convertible debt, and $0.3 million in principal payments towards our term loan.

In 2012, we raised $8.3 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 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.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2013 we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.

(1) Includes interest expense.

In addition to the obligations above, at September 30, 2013, we have approximately $465,000 of convertible debt. We are not certain as to when the amount will be settled.

Critical Accounting Policies

In preparing our condensed consolidated financial statements, we make estimates and assumptions that can have a significant impact on our 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 results of operations. For further information on our critical and other significant accounting policies, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Basic and Diluted Loss Per Share

We compute basic and diluted net loss per common share using the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. During periods of net losses, shares associated with outstanding stock options, stock warrants, convertible preferred stock, and convertible debt are not included because the inclusion would be anti-dilutive (i.e., would reduce the net loss per share). The total numbers of such shares excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per common share were 28,207,642 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and 19,164,126 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

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:

	32

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets;

•

Level 2, defined as observable inputs other than Level I prices such as quoted prices for similar assets; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities; and

•

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

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

The Company believes the adoption of Accounting Standards Updates issued but not yet adopted will not have a material impact to our results of operations or financial position.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Interest Rate

Market risks related to our operations result primarily from changes in interest rates. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our term loan payable at an annual rate of the one-month London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus 8.0%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 3%. At September 30, 2013, we had a term loan balance of $4.2 million.

Based on our term loan balance as of September 30, 2013, a hypothetical 1% increase in the LIBOR rate would have an insignificant impact on our earnings and cash flows on an annual basis.

Foreign Currency

We have international sales in Europe, Middle East, Canada, and Australia, and, therefore, are subject to foreign currency rate exposure. The majority of our international sales are transacted in U.S. dollars and a portion of sales in Euros. However, because of our international presence, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions. To date, the foreign currency exchange fluctuations have not had a significant impact on our operating results and cash flows given the scope of our foreign denominated transactions.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (the “Certifying Officers”), evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on that evaluation, the Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

At present, the Company is not engaged in or the subject of any material pending legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except for certain updates set forth below, there are no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 18, 2013 for the year ended December 31, 2012 and the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC.

We May Need Substantial Additional Financing

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 significantly curtail or potentially cease our operations. 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 as described in this and prior public filings of the Company. In addition, on August 7, 2013, we entered into the Distributor and License agreement with Arthrex, Inc. Under the terms of this agreement, Arthrex has obtained the exclusive rights to sell, distribute, and service the Company’s products throughout the world, for all uses other than chronic wound care. Arthrex agreed to pay the Company a nonrefundable upfront payment of $5 million. The term of the Arthrex Agreement is five years, automatically renewable for an additional three-year period unless Arthrex gives the Company a termination notice one year in advance of the initial five-year period. At September 30, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of approximately $4.6 million, total current assets of approximately $10.5 million and total current liabilities of approximately $9.5 million. Based on our current operating plan, we presently believe we have sufficient cash through the end of 2013, but anticipate needing additional capital in 2014. However, our projections could be wrong and we could face unforeseen costs or our revenues could fall short of our projections.

We will need to engage in capital-raising transactions in the near future. Such financing transactions may well cause substantial dilution to our shareholders and could involve the issuance of securities with rights senior to the outstanding shares. Our ability to complete additional financings is dependent on, among other things, the state of the capital markets at the time of any proposed offering, market reception of the Company and the likelihood of the success of its business model, of the offering terms, etc. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain any such additional capital as we need to finance our efforts, through asset sales, equity or debt financing, or any combination thereof, on satisfactory terms or at all. Additionally, no assurance can be given that any such financing, if obtained, will be adequate to meet our capital needs and to support our operations. If adequate capital cannot be obtained on a timely basis and on satisfactory terms, our revenues and operations and the value of our common stock and common stock equivalents would be materially negatively impacted. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects of the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

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. As a result, 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. 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. On June 10, 2013, CMS established HCPCS Code G0460 (Autologous PRP for ulcers) for payment effective July 1, 2013 for the treatment of chronic non-healing diabetic, venous and/or pressure wounds only in the context of an approved clinical trial. This determination permits data collection with reimbursement. In the July 2013 quarterly update of Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) assignments, CMS mapped G0460 to APC 0013, Level II Debridement and Destruction, with a payment rate of $71.54 per treatment. On September 6, 2013, Cytomedix communicated to CMS that this payment level was unsustainable for HOPDs because no PRP product can be produced for this amount or less. CMS is expected to announce final regulations on or about the last week of November 2013 and the coding and reimbursement regulations will then take effect on January 1, 2014. If approved, the reassignment will align G0460 to other procedures that have clinical and resource homogeneity, and will provide appropriate reimbursement to hospitals so that Medicare patients can participate in the AutoloGel CED studies and receive this treatment for complex, chronic, non-healing wounds. There is no assurance that we will ultimately be successful with our current reimbursement strategy and that CMS will assign the economically feasible coding and reimbursement rates to AutoloGel or 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 take substantial additional financial and time investment 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. Additionally, to the extent that CMS does not assign the economically feasible coding and reimbursement rates to AutoloGel, it will severely affect our ability to market it, will have material adverse effect on our business and operations and will cause the Company to reconsider its overall strategy and business model going forward.
