CORD BLOOD AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2012
 
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
 
Cord Blood America, Inc. ("CBAI"), formerly D&A Lending, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Florida on October 12, 1999. In October, 2009, CBAI re-located its headquarters from Los Angeles, California to Las Vegas, Nevada. CBAI is primarily a holding company whose wholly-owned subsidiaries include Cord Partners, Inc., CorCell Co. Inc., CorCell Ltd., (“Cord”), CBA Professional Services, Inc. D/B/A BodyCells, Inc. ("BodyCells"), CBA Properties, Inc. ("Properties"), and Career Channel Inc, D/B/A Rainmakers International ("Rain"). In March 2010, CBAI purchased a majority interest in Stellacure GmbH (“Stellacure”). In September 2010, CBAI purchased a majority interest in Biocordcell Argentina S.A. (“Bio”). CBAI and its subsidiaries engage in the following business activities:
 
  
Cord specializes in providing private cord blood stem cell preservation services to families.
 
  
Stellacure GmbH specializes in providing cord blood stem cell preservation services to families in Germany, Spain and Italy.
 
  
Biocordcell Argentina S.A. specializes in providing cord blood stem cell preservation to families in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.
 
  
BodyCells is a developmental stage company and intends to be in the business of collecting, processing and preserving peripheral blood and adipose tissue stem cells allowing individuals to privately preserve their stem cells for potential future use in stem cell therapy.
 
  
Properties was formed to hold the corporate trademarks and other intellectual property.
 
  
Rain has specialized in creating direct response television and radio advertising campaigns, including media placement and commercial production.  Management has reduced the activities of Rain, terminated its former employees, and by the end of 2010, was no longer seeking additional business.  This is consistent with management’s decision to focus its attention exclusively on the stem cell storage business and related activities.
 
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements of Cord Blood America, Inc. and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the periods shown. The results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full fiscal year or for any future period. The information included in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis and Plan of Operations contained in this report and the audited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Management has been able, thus far, to finance the losses, organic growth of the business and acquisitions, through private placements of its common stock, the issuance of debt and proceeds from the Equity Distribution Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement, and has existing debt instruments in place and available if such additional funding is necessary.  CBAI is continuing to attempt to increase revenues within its core businesses.  In addition, the Company has taken steps to reduce its overall spending by reducing its labor force, any additional investment in international entities and other non-essential expenditures. The ongoing execution of CBAI's business plan is anticipated to result in a positive operating income over the next twelve months. There are no assurances that CBAI will be successful in achieving its goals of increasing revenues and reaching profitability.
 
 
5

 
 
In view of these conditions, CBAI's ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to meet its financing requirements, and to ultimately achieve profitable operations. Management believes that its current and future plans provide an opportunity to continue as a going concern. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may be necessary in the event CBAI cannot continue as a going concern.

Basis of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CBAI and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, Cord, Stellacure GmbH, Biocordcell Argentina S.A., BodyCells, Properties and Rain. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Deferred Revenue
 
Deferred revenue consists of payments for enrollment in the program and processing of umbilical cord blood by customers whose samples have not yet been collected, as well as the pro-rata share of annual storage fees for customers whose samples were stored during the year.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments
 
ASC 815-40 (formerly SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities"), requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and in accordance with ASC 815-40-15 (formerly EITF 00-19 "Accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company's own stock") to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. At March 31, 2012, the Company adjusted its derivative liability to its fair value, and reflected the change in fair value, in its consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).

Revenue Recognition
 
CBAI recognizes revenue under the provisions of ASC 605-25 (previously Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 “Revenue Recognition”). CBAI provides a combination of products and services to customers. This combination arrangement is evaluated under ASC 605-25-25 (previously Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables"). ASC 605-25-25 addresses certain aspects of accounting for arrangements under multiple revenue generating activities.
 
 
6

 
 
Cord, Stellacure and Bio recognize revenue from both enrollment fees and processing fees upon the completion of processing while revenue from storage fees are recognized ratably over the contractual storage period.
 
Franchise revenues which are part of Biocordcells current income are recognized in accordance with ASC 952-605-3, according to requirements for recognizing franchise revenues after “franchise agreement” services are completed and substantially performed.  Further, in accordance with ASC 952-605-25-7, the installment or cost recovery accounting method is used to account for a franchise fee revenue only in those exceptional cases when revenue is collectible over an extended period and no reasonable basis exists for estimated collectability

Cost of Services
 
Costs for Cord, Stellacure, and Bio are incurred as umbilical cord blood is collected. These costs include the transportation of the umbilical cord blood from the hospital to the lab, direct material plus labor costs for processing and cryogenic storage, and allocated rent, utility and general administrative expenses.  In the case of Stellacure, similar expenses are incurred, but via an outsourced relationship for laboratory services.  The Company expenses costs in the period incurred.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
Long-lived assets, other than goodwill, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances are more likely than not to reduce the fair value of goodwill below its carrying amount.
 
Equity Investments
 
Cord has a non-controlling equity investment in ViviCells International, Inc., a privately held company in the business of providing cord blood stem cell and adult peripheral blood stem cell preservation services. The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting as it owns more than 20% of the outstanding common stock. As such, the investment is carried at cost less Cord's proportionate share of ViviCells net loss for the period since investment. At December 31, 2011, the carrying amount of this investment was $0.  During 2011 the Company foreclosed on and acquired all the assets of Neocells, a subsidiary of ViviCells, as satisfaction on the outstanding receivable from ViviCells. As of December 31, 2011, there is no remaining investment in ViviCells because of this action.
 
Cord has a minority equity investment in China Stem Cells, Ltd., a Cayman Islands Company, and a privately held company organized to conduct a stem cell storage business in China. In 2011, Cord acquired a minority equity investment in VidaPlus, an umbilical cord processing and storage company for $30,098.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company converted $174,000 of loans receivable from VidaPlus into an additional 6% of equity investment for a total of 7% equity  investment in VidaPlus.  The Company utilizes the cost method of accounting as it owns less than 20% of the outstanding common stock and only has the ability to exercise nominal, not signficant, influence over these companies. The cost of the investment in China Stem Cells Ltd. was $0.  At March 31, 2012 the total cost of the investment in VidaPlus was $204,098.

Fair Value Measurements
 
CBAI measures its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e. exit price), in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities measured at fair value based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure the fair value. Level inputs, as defined by ASC 820-10, are as follows:
 
 
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
 
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.
 
 
Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use to price the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
 
The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at March 31, 2012 for assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

For certain of the Company's financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets, accounts payable and accrued expenses, and deferred revenues, the carrying amount approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying amounts of the Company's notes receivable and notes payable approximates fair value based on the prevailing interest rates.

In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-08, Testing Goodwill for Impairment (“ASU 2011-08”), which amends the guidance in ASC 350-20, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other – Goodwill. ASU 2011-08 provides entities with the option of performing a qualitative assessment before calculating the fair value of the reporting unit when testing goodwill for impairment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined, based on qualitative factors, to be more likely than not less than the carrying amount of the reporting unit, the entities are required to perform a two-step goodwill impairment test. ASU 2011-08 became effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-08 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 requires the presentation of comprehensive income in either (1) a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (2) two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 became effective for us beginning January 1, 2012 and is to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
 
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (“ASU 2011-04”), which amended ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements (“ASC 820”), providing a consistent definition and measurement of fair value, as well as similar disclosure requirements between U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. ASU 2011-04 changes certain fair value measurement principles, clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement and expands the disclosure requirements. ASU 2011-04 became effective for us beginning January 1, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Note 4. Commitments and Contingencies

JMJ Financial
 
On January 12, 2011, JMJ Financial (“JMJ”), a private investor, issued and delivered to the Company a $1,000,000 “Secured & Collateralized Promissory Note,” (the “JMJ Note”).  The JMJ Note bears interest in the form of a one-time interest charge of 10.5%, and interest is payable with the JMJ Note’s principal balance on its maturity date of January 12, 2014.  The JMJ Note is secured by JMJ assets in the form of a money market fund or similar equivalent having a value of at least $1,000,000.  Concurrently, the Company issued a $1,050,000 “Convertible Promissory Note” (the “2011 Note”) to JMJ.  The 2011 Note bears interest in the form of a onetime interest charge of 10%, payable with the Note’s principal amount on the maturity date, January 12, 2014. The net difference between the JMJ Note and the 2011 Note, $50,000, represents a discount.
 
No mandatory principal or interest payments are due on the JMJ Note until its maturity date.  However, voluntary prepayments at the option of JMJ are customary and provide the Company with access to liquidity and working capital as amounts are advanced under the JMJ Note.  At the option of JMJ, at any time, the 2011 Note principal and interest is convertible only into shares of the Company’s common stock, originally fixed at a per share conversion price equal to 85% of the average of the 5 lowest traded prices for the Company’s common stock in the 20 trading days previous to the effective date of each such conversion. If no such conversions are made, the principal and interest amount is due and payable in cash on the maturity date.
 
Under a previous outstanding Convertible Promissory Note having similar terms as described above and issued to JMJ and funded by JMJ in the amount of approximately $1,750,000 (the “Earlier Notes”), the Company was obligated to deliver common shares which could be placed into the Automated System for Deposits and Withdrawals of Securities (known as “DWAC”). At the time the DWAC system was not available to Company shareholders for newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result of this breach, on February 8, 2011, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with JMJ which contained the following term, among others including changing the discount rate to 25%, in which the Company agreed to pay $671,385 to JMJ, both as liquidated damages to JMJ, and in consideration for an additional $1 million in financing, which has been added to the principal amount of the Earlier Note. The “Chill” has been lifted in November 2011, and the Company has no further damages associated with JMJ related to this matter.  There are two additional Convertible Promissory Notes having similar terms as described above and issued to JMJ and funded by JMH in the amount of approximately  $750,000.  As of March 31, 2012, the Company notes payable balance with JMJ Financial was $1,117,731.
 
St. George Investments
 
On March 10, 2011, Cord Blood America, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with St. George Investments, LLC, an Illinois limited liability company (the "Investor") whereby the Company issued and sold, and the Investor purchased: (i) Secured Convertible Promissory Notes of the Company in the principal amount of $1,105,500 (the "Company Note") and (ii) a Warrant to purchase common stock of the Company (the "Warrant").  The Investor paid $250,000 in cash as an initial payment to the Company and executed and delivered six separate “Secured Buyer Notes” (the “Buyer Notes”), as consideration in full for the issuance and sale of the Company Note and Warrants.
 
 
11

 
 
The principal amount of the Company Note is $1,105,500 ("Maturity Amount") and the Company Note is due 48 months from the issuance date of March 10, 2011.  The Company Note had an interest rate of 6.0%, which was increased to a rate of 12.0% on the happening of certain Trigger Events, including but not limited to: a decline in the 10-day trailing average daily dollar volume of the common shares in the Company’s primary market to less than $30,000 of volume per day at any time; the failure by the Company or its transfer agent to deliver Conversion Shares (defined in the Company Note) within 5 days of Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (defined in the Company Note).  The total amount funded (in cash and notes) at closing will be $1,000,000, representing the Maturity Amount less an original issue discount of $100,500 and the payment of $5,000 to the Investor to cover its fees, with payment consisting of $250,000 advanced at closing and $750,000 in a series of six secured convertible Buyer Notes of $125,000 each, with interest rates of 5.0%.  The Buyer Notes are secured by an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit (“Letter of Credit”).
 
The Investor has also received a five year warrant entitling it to purchase 1,399,253 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $.179.  The warrant also contains a net exercise /cashless exercise provision.
 
As of March 31, 2012 the balance due to St. George Investments was $912,139.
 
Tangiers Investors
 
On November 4, 2011 the Company issued a $25,000 “Convertible Note” to Tangiers Investors with interest accruing at 10% per annum due on November 4, 2012.  On December 8, 2011 the Company issued a $25,000 “Convertible Note” to Tangiers Investors with interest accruing at 10% per annum due on December 8, 2012.  On December 16, 2011 the Company issued a $25,000 “Convertible Note” to Tangiers Investors with interest accruing at 10% per annum due on December 16, 2012.  On December 27, 2011 the Company issued a $25,000 “Convertible Note” to Tangiers Investors with interest accruing at 10% per annum due on December 27, 2012.  On January 17, 2012 the Company issued a $25,000 “Convertible Note” to Tangiers Investors with interest accruing at 10% per annum due on December 27, 2013.  On January 20, 2012 the Company issued a $50,000 “Convertible Note” to Tangiers Investors with interest accruing at 10% per annum due on January 20, 2013.  On January 27th, February 3rd, 10th, 16th and 24th of 2012 the Company issued five (5) separate $20,000 “Convertible Note” to Tangiers Investors with interest accruing at 10% per annum due one year from the issue date. The Payee at its option may elect to convert all or part of the principal and any accrued unpaid interest on these notes at any time or times on or before the aforementioned maturity dates.  The conversion price shall be the lower of (a) seventy percent (70%) of the lowest volume weighted average price (the “VWAP”) price during the ten (10) trading days prior to conversion or (b) seventy percent (70%) of the average of the lowest five (5) closing prices during the twenty (20) days prior to conversion, subject to adjustment pursuant to this Article “4” of this Note.  As of March 31, 2012, the Company has a Note balance of $275,000 with Tangiers.
 
VidaPlus
 
On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire up to 51% of the capital stock in VidaPlus, an umbilical cord processing and storage company headquartered in Madrid, Spain.  The Agreement is organized into three tranches; the first executed at closing with an initial investment of approximately $204,000 (150,000 Euro) for an amount equivalent to 7% as follows; 1% of share capital in initial equity or approximately $30,000 and 6% or an estimated $174,000 as a loan convertible into equity within 12 months of closing.  The initial investment is secured by a Pledge Agreement on 270 VidaPlus samples that are incurring annual storage fees.  The second tranche provides the opportunity for an additional 28% in share capital through monthly investments based on the number of samples processed in that month (up to a maximum of 550,000 EUR).  The Company loaned $153,092 (US) to VidaPlus during the year ended December 31, 2011 and $93,396 during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 in connection with the second tranche of this agreement. Converting the investment from a loan into equity for tranche two will take place every 12 months, and the obligation will have been met in full after 1,000 samples have been processed and stored.  The third tranche follows a similar loan to equity agreement as tranche two but for an additional 16% equity at the option of the Company (up to a maximum of 550,000 EUR).  VidaPlus contracts through Stellacure and their relationship with the German Red Cross for their processing and storage.

In connection with the VidaPlus Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on January 24, 2011, the Company is obligated to make monthly loans to VidaPlus based on the number of new samples processed and up to a maximum of 550,000 Euro for each of tranche 2 and 3 of the Agreement.  Tranche 2 did contain provisions that provided the Company an option to discontinue funding if certain performance targets were not met.  As such, on January 19, 2012, the Company notified VidaPlus 2007, S.L. that effective January 24, 2012 it was exercising its right under the Stock Purchase Agreement executed January 24, 2011, Tranche 1, to convert its loan of $174,000 into 6% of the outstanding shares such that the Company will own a total of 7% of the outstanding shares.  Additionally, the Company declined to make any further investment (loan or otherwise) to VidaPlus under Tranche 2, and elected to maintain its Pledge position with samples until further notice.

At March 31, 2012, the Company holds 7% of VidaPlus and has a balance of convertible loans receivable amounting to $246,524.   

Patent License Agreement
 
PharmaStem Therapeutics holds certain patents relating to the storage, expansion and use of hematopoietic stem cells. In the past five years, PharmaStem has commenced suit against numerous companies involved in cord blood collection and preservation alleging infringement of its patents. In October 2003, after a jury trial, judgment was entered against certain of our competitors and in favor of PharmaStem in one of those suits. In February 2004, PharmaStem commenced suit against Cord Partners and certain of its competitors alleging infringement of its patents. Management of Cord Partners determined to settle, rather than to litigate, this matter. As a result, PharmaStem and Cord Partners entered into a Patent License Agreement in March 2004. Pursuant to the Patent License Agreement, Cord Partners may, on a non-exclusive basis, collect, process and store cord blood utilizing PharmaStem technology and processes covered by its patents for so long as the patents may remain in effect. All of the patents expired in 2010. Cord Partners is obligated under the Patent License Agreement to pay royalties to PharmaStem of 15% of all revenues generated by Cord Partners from the collection and storage of cord blood on and after January 1, 2004. Other than royalties, no amount is payable by Cord Partners to PharmaStem. All litigation between the parties was dismissed and all prior claims were released.  As of 2008, Cord has ceased paying all royalties to PharmaStem.  The patents have been declared void under a final decision on appeal, and as such, there is no pending litigation in this matter. As of December 2011 and March 31, 2012, the Company included approximately $226,000 in accounts payable and $120,000 included in accrued expenses to account for this liability since 2008.  This amount may be reversed in the future pending final decision on appeal.

Contingencies

Lindsay Bays
 
On or around September 21, 2011, Lindsay Bays, et. al filed a case against the Company, along with additional defendants Corcell, Inc., Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC, and Bergen Community Blood Center in the Circuit Court of Kanawha County, West Virginia, case number 11-C-1664, alleging claims of breach of contract, negligence, and other related claims.  The Plaintiff alleges that she entered into a contract with Corcell, Inc. for the collection and storage of her child’s cord blood.  She claims that though her child was accepted as a candidate for autoreinfusion treatment of her child’s cerebral palsy in the Duke University Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Program, her child was unable to participate, purportedly due to the defendants’ actions in labeling and shipping the blood.  She seeks monetary damages for injuries and losses, punitive damages, interest and attorneys’ fees.  The Company plans to vigorously defend against the claims.  The Company placed its insurance carrier on notice, and the insurance carrier engaged outside counsel to represent the Company in the action.  See Note 10.

BioCells
 
In September 2010, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”), with the Shareholders of Biocordcell Argentina S.A., a corporation organized under the laws of Argentina (“Bio”), providing for the Company’s acquisition of 50.1% of the outstanding shares of Bio (the “Shares).
 
Under the Agreement, the Company paid $375,000 in cash at the closing, and was obligated to pay an additional $350,000 in October, 2010, $150,000 of which is part of the fixed portion of the purchase price for the shares, for a total minimum purchase price of $525,000. The remaining $200,000 of this payment represents advances against the contingent payments due based on Bio’s 2010 and 2011 net income performances. In 2011, the Company negotiated and paid out the amount of $500,000 in connection with the 2010 earn out.  The Company has recorded an accrual in the amount of $250,000 related to the earn-out for 2011 for Biocells.  The Company is involved in a dispute with the selling shareholders of Bio over the amount of the 2011 earn-out to be paid based on the interpretation of the terms of the agreement. The Company intends to vigorously defend its position, and believes it will prevail. Should the Company not prevail, the amount of additional potential liability would range between $0 and $455,000.

Note 6. Share Based Compensation
 
Stock Option Plan
 
The Company's Stock Option Plan permits the granting of stock options to its employees, directors, consultants and independent contractors for up to 8.0 million shares of its common stock. The Company believes that such awards encourage employees to remain employed by the Company and also to attract persons of exceptional ability to become employees of the Company. On July 13, 2009, the Company registered its 2009 Flexible Stock Plan, which increases the total shares available to 4 million common shares. The agreement allows the Company to issue either stock options or common shares from this Plan.
 
On June 3, 2011, the Company registered its 2011 Flexible Stock Option plan, and reserved 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for future issuance under the Plan. The Company canceled the Company's 2010 Flexible Stock Plan, and returned 501,991 reserved but unused common shares back to its treasury.
 
Stock options that vest at the end of a one-year period are amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. For stock options awarded using graded vesting, the expense is recorded at the beginning of each year in which a percentage of the options vests.  The Company did not issue any stock options for the period ended March 31, 2012.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
 
Forward Looking Statements
 
In addition to the historical information contained herein, we make statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are forward-looking statements. Sometimes these statements will contain words such as "believes," "expects," "intends," "should," "will," "plans," and other similar words. Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, assumptions about our future ability to increase income streams, reduce and control costs, to grow revenue and earnings, and our ability to obtain additional debt and/or equity capital on commercially reasonable terms, none of which is certain.  These statements are only predictions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors included in our periodic reports with the SEC.  Although forward-looking statements, and any assumptions upon which they are based, are made in good faith and reflect our current judgment, actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.  Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results..
 
The following information should be read in conjunction with our March 31, 2012 condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in the quarterly report and with our condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the related "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contained in our annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, as well as our quarterly reports and reports filed on Form 8-K for the relevant periods. We also urge you to review and consider our disclosures describing various risks that may affect our business, which are set forth under the heading "Risk Factors Related to our Business" in our annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
Recent Developments During the Quarter
 
VidaPlus
 
On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire up to 51% of the capital stock in VidaPlus, an umbilical cord processing and storage company headquartered in Madrid, Spain.  The Agreement is organized into three tranches; the first executed at closing with an initial investment of approximately $204,000 (150,000 Euro) for an amount equivalent to 7% as follows; 1% of share capital in initial equity or approximately $30,000 and 6% or an estimated $174,000 as a loan convertible into equity within 12 months of closing.  The initial investment is secured by a Pledge Agreement on 270 VidaPlus samples that are incurring annual storage fees.  The second tranche provides the opportunity for an additional 28% in share capital through monthly investments based on the number of samples processed in that month (up to a maximum of 550,000 EUR).  The first installment of this second tranche was completed during the Quarter at an estimated loan amount of $15,000.  Converting the investment from a loan into equity for tranche two will take place every 12 months, and the obligation will have been met in full after 1,000 samples have been processed and stored.  The third tranche follows a similar loan to equity agreement as tranche two but for an additional 16% equity at the option of the Company (up to a maximum of 550,000 EUR).  VidaPlus contracts through Stellacure and their relationship with the German Red Cross for their processing and storage.  The second and third tranches contain conditional components for funding to continue from CBAI, including payments to Stellacure by Vida to be current with previously agreed to terms between the parties.

On January 19, 2012, the Company notified VidaPlus 2007, S.L. that effective January 24, 2012 it was exercising its right under the Stock Purchase Agreement executed January 24, 2011, Tranche 1, to convert its loan into 6% of the outstanding shares such that the Company will own a total of 7% of the outstanding shares.  Additionally, the Company declined to make any further investment (loan or otherwise) to VidaPlus under Tranche 2, and elected to maintain its Pledge position with samples until further notice.

HaVi Enterprises, LLC
On January 12, 2012, HaVi Enterprises, LLC, in which the Company’s COO Joseph Vicente owns a 50% interest, loaned $50,000 to the Company through a Secured Promissory Note with an interest rate of 12% per annum and a 6-month repayment schedule.
 
 
21

 
 
Shelter Island Opportunity Fund
 
On February 13, 2012, the Company paid in full its obligation, in connection with convertible debt financing consummated in February of 2007, with Shelter; and subsequent negotiations of the “Put Agreement” satisfied by the Company's delivery to Shelter Island of a new Senior Secured Note in the principal amount of $1,590,400. The remaining balance of the Note in 2012 was $369,692.56 and was acquired by Tangiers Capital.  The Tangiers obligation was subsequently retired as well in 2012.
 
Outstanding Shares
 
During the period ending March 31, 2012, the Company issued 111,194,961 shares resulting in an outstanding share amount of 249,999,364 shares with 250,000,000 authorized.  Of those shares issued during the first quarter, 110,435,264 were issued to debt holders reducing the note balance and related accrued interest by $1,556,886.
 
Summary and Outlook of the Business
 
CBAI is primarily an umbilical cord blood stem cell preservation company with a particular focus on the acquisition of customers in need of family based products and services.

Cord
 
The umbilical cord blood stem cell preservation operations provide umbilical cord blood banking services to expectant parents throughout all 50 United States. Our corporate headquarters recently re-located to Las Vegas, NV from Los Angeles, CA. Cord earns revenue through a one-time enrollment and processing fee, and through an annually recurring storage and maintenance fee. Cord blood testing, processing, and some storage were conducted by our outsourced laboratory partner, Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC, (PCT) in New Jersey. In March 2010, we began to process and store cord blood in our own facility. We provide the following services to each customer.

 
Collection Materials. We provide a medical kit that contains all of the materials necessary for collecting the newborn’s umbilical cord blood at birth and packaging the unit for transportation. The kit also provides for collecting a maternal blood sample for later testing.

 
Physician And Customer Support. We provide 24-hour consulting services to customers as well as to physicians and labor and delivery personnel, providing any instruction necessary for the successful collection, packaging, and transportation of the cord blood & maternal blood samples.

 
Transportation. We manage all logistics for transporting the cord blood unit to our centralized facility immediately following birth. This procedure ensures chain-of-custody control during transportation for maximum security.
 
 
Comprehensive Testing. At the laboratory, the cord blood sample is tested for stem cell concentration levels, bacteria and blood type. The maternal blood sample is tested for infectious diseases. We report these results to the newborn’s mother.

 
Cord Blood Preservation. After processing and testing, the cord blood unit is cryogenically frozen in a controlled manner and stored in liquid nitrogen for potential future use. Data indicates that cord blood retains viability and function for at least fifteen years when stored in this manner and theoretically could be maintained at least as long as the normal life span of an individual.
 
 
22

 

Going forward, management will continue to assess business opportunities, and plans to pursue customer acquisition, primarily through organic growth.
 
Stellacure GmbH
 
Based in Hamburg Germany, Stellacure GmbH  collects, processes and stores cord blood samples as a private bank for use in current or future medical therapies in Germany, Spain, and other European and Middle Eastern Countries.
 
Biocordcell Argentina S.A.
 
Based in Buenos Aires, Biocordcell Argentina S.A., processes and stores cord blood samples as a private bank for use in current or future medical therapies in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.
 
BodyCells
 
We are continuing to pursue other growth opportunities by acquisition or internal growth. The development of BodyCells, which is anticipated to facilitate the collecting, processing and preserving of peripheral blood and adipose tissue stem cells allowing individuals to privately preserve their stem cells for potential future use in stem cell therapy, is currently suspended pending the identification of an alternative lab to partner.
 
Results of Operations for the Three-Months Ended  March 31, 2012
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2012, our total revenue increased approximately $0.1 million, or 6.7% to $1.56 million over the prior comparative period.  Cord remains focused on strategic organic growth strategies, which management hopes will reduce or eliminate the losses and negative operating cash flow.

Cost of services decreased by approximately $.036 million to $0.435 million. Gross Profit increased by approximately $0.135 million or 13.6% to $1.1 million. The company anticipates that through the growth and expansion of our Cord business, and the processing and storage of the cord blood in our own facilities, our direct costs should decrease and our gross margins increase.
 
Administrative and selling expenses decreased by approximately $0.74 million from the prior comparative period to $1.38 million for a decrease of 34% over the prior comparative period.  Our net loss decreased by $.59 million, or approximately 31% to $1.28 million compared to the comparative period net loss of $1.84 million.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Total assets at March 31, 2012 were $7,414,580 compared to $7,350,083 at December 31, 2011.  Total liabilities at March 31, 2012 were $7,313,538 consisting primarily of Promissory Notes, Accounts Payable and Deferred Revenue  $1,536,484, $950,229 and $2,245,196.  At December 31, 2011, total liabilities were $8,228,919 consisting primarily of Promissory Notes, Accounts Payable and Deferred Revenue $2,267,394, $1,232,460 and $2,198,607.

We have experienced net losses of $1.26 million and $ 1.84 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2011, respectively.  At March 31, 2012, we had $0.3 million in cash. We currently collect cash receipts from operations through both of our subsidiaries, BioCord and Stellacure. Cash flows from operations are not currently sufficient to fund operations in combination with these corporate expenses. During the period from December 31, 2011 to March 31, 2012, we decreased notes payable by $1.0 million, through equity conversion of debt. 
 
 
23

 
 
Net cash used in operating activities decreased  approximately $1.0 million from the prior comparative period.  Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $0.4 million, this was due to less investment in foreign affiliates.  Net cash provided by financing activities decreased approximately $1.36  million from the prior comparative period to $0.46 million. At the end of the period, cash and cash equivalents decreased approximately $0.1 million from the prior comparative period to $0.3 million.

Management has been able, thus far, to finance the losses, organic growth of the business and acquisitions, through private placements of its common stock, the issuance of debt and proceeds from the Equity Distribution Agreement and Securities Purchase Agreement, and has existing debt instruments in place and available if such additional funding is necessary.  CBAI is continuing to attempt to increase revenues within its core businesses.  In addition, the Company has taken steps to reduce its overall spending by reducing its labor force, any additional capital investment in international entities and other non-essential expenditures. The ongoing execution of CBAI's business plan is anticipated to result in a positive operating income over the next twelve months. There are no assurances that CBAI will be successful in achieving its goals of increasing revenues and reaching profitability.

We currently have financing through JMJ financial as follows:

In April 2010, the Company signed a Promissory Note for $0.75 million with JMJ Financial bearing a one-time interest rate of 10%, and maturing in April, 2013. The Company has drawn down a total of $.18 million on the Note with no conversion into common shares.

In October of 2010, the Company signed a Promissory Note for $0.75 million with JMJ Financial bearing a one-time interest rate of 10%, and maturing in October  2013. The Company has drawn down a total of $.735 million on the Note with no conversion into common shares.

In March 2011, the Company signed a Promissory Note for $1.00 million with JMJ Financial bearing a one-time interest rate of 10%, and maturing in March, 2014. The Company has drawn down a total of $.10 million on the note with no conversion into common shares.
 
Inflation

In the opinion of management, inflation has not and will not have a material effect on our operations in the immediate future.  Management will continue to monitor inflation and evaluate the possible future effects of inflation on our business and operations.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
Disclosure not applicable to smaller reporting companies.
 
ITEM 4T. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
It is management's responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal control over all financial reporting pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). Our management, including our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2012. Following this review and evaluation, management collectively determined that our disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer, our chief operations officer, and our chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our disclosure controls and procedures are  related to a lack of segregation of duties due to the size of the accounting department and to the  limited financial resources of the Company. We hired a full time Accountant in January 2011 and a new Controller in April 2011, and we expect his familiarization with the Company will continue to enhance our disclosure controls. We are working closely with the Accountants in our foreign subsidiaries to implement stronger accounting controls.   These efforts will enable to further of segregation of duties.
 
However, any controls system cannot provide absolute assurance   that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.

The Plaintiff alleges that she entered into a contract with Corcell, Inc. for the collection and storage of her child’s cord blood.  She claims that though her child was accepted as a candidate for autoreinfusion treatment of her child’s cerebral palsy in the Duke University Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Program, her child was unable to participate, purportedly due to the defendants’ actions in labeling and shipping the blood.  She seeks monetary damages for injuries and losses, punitive damages, interest and attorneys’ fees.  On or around December 5, 2011, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the action.  Defendants Progenitor Cell Therapy, LLC and Bergen Community Blood Center also filed motions to dismiss.

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
 
The issuances listed under this sub-heading were made by the Company in the past three years in exchange for services rendered to the Company. For all of the following issuances, the Company relied upon the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for transactions not involving a public offering and/or where noted as issued under one of the Company’s Flexible Stock Plans, under the exemption provided by Rule 701 in that the transactions were under compensatory benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation as provided in Rule 701.

In January 2012, 96,154 shares of common stock of the Company, at a total cash value on the date of issuance of $2,500, were issued to Angelo Rivolta for business consulting services.

In January 2012, 35,842 shares of common stock of the Company, at a total cash value on the date of issuance of $1,000 were issued to Physician and Legal Consultant Services for medical consulting services.

In February 2012, 69,444 shares of common stock of the Company, at a total cash value on the date of issuance of $1,750, were issued to Angelo Rivolta for business consulting services.

In February 2012, 510,638 shares of common stock of the Company, at a total cash value on the date of issuance of $15,000, were issued to The Capitol Company for public relation related services.

In February 2012, 47,619 shares of common stock of the Company, at a total cash value on the date of issuance of $1,000 were issued to Physician and Legal Consultant Services for medical consulting services.

In the instances described under this sub-heading, the Company relied upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act in issuing securities. The Company’s reliance was based upon the following factors: (a) the issuance of the securities was an isolated private transaction by the Company which did not involve a public offering; (b) there were only a limited number of offerees; (c) there were no subsequent or contemporaneous public offerings of the securities by the Company; (d) the securities were not broken down into smaller denominations; and (e) the negotiations for the sale of the securities took place directly between the offeree and the Company.

Shelter Island Opportunity Fund
 
In connection with convertible debt financing consummated in February of 2007 with Shelter, as described in above in this section – Sales of Unregistered Securities - the Company issued to the lender in that transaction a “Put Agreement”, whereby the Company agreed to purchase from the Lender up to 360,000 shares of its common stock from the lender at a fixed purchase price of $5.00 per share, or for a total of up to $1,800,000 if the Put is exercised in full. The Put provides that if the Company is unable to, or chooses not to pay the Put price in cash, the Company can issue a convertible promissory note, bearing interest at 16% per annum during its initial 12 month term, and interest at 20% per annum thereafter, payable on a monthly basis over on a 24 month level amortization, secured by unspecified assets, and payable at the Company’s option by delivery of shares of its Common stock in lieu of cash.

At the same time, the Company issued to the Lender a warrant to acquire 360,000 shares of its common stock, at a warrant exercise price of $10.1, subject to exercise price adjustment under certain circumstances. The exercise price as subsequently been adjusted under the warrant provisions and is currently fixed at $0.86 per share.

The Lender in August of 2009 endeavored to exercise its rights under the Put without first exercising the warrant or otherwise acquiring shares of the Company’s common stock which the Lender would be able to deliver to the Company as required by the Put. As a result of the Lender’s inability to deliver to the Company shares of the Company’s common stock as required by the Put, the Company declined to pay the cash Put price or deliver the convertible promissory note in satisfaction of the Put, and has taken the position that the Put has not been exercised.

After extensive negotiations with Shelter, the parties entered into a transaction on July 21, 2010, whereby the 360,000 shares Warrant Agreement was canceled, and the obligation represented by the Put Option Agreement was satisfied by the Company's delivery to Shelter Island of a new Senior Secured Note in the principal amount of $1,590,400 (the "Replacement Note"). With this agreement, the derivative liability of $1,608,658 was reduced to $1,590,400 and then reclassified on the balance sheet as a note payable. The Replacement Note matures on September 30, 2011, bears interest at 16% per annum, interest-only is due, for the period July 31, 2010 through January 31, 2011, and is payable in six equal monthly installments of $265,067 each, commencing January 31, 2011. The Company, at its option, may pay the principal amount due on the Replacement Note by the issuance of unregistered Company Common Stock, to be valued at an agreed conversion rate that is fixed for this purpose, subject to certain adjustments, at 85% of the market value of the Company's common stock, calculated based on the five lowest daily closing prices for the stock over certain specified 20 day periods.

On March 17, 2011, the parties entered into an Amendment for above said Replacement Note. The Amendment extended the commencement date of the six monthly installments each in the amount of $248,400 to April 30, 2011 in exchange for continued interest payments for February, March and April, along with a cash payment of $25,000 as an adjustment to the principal balance. Other terms of the Replacement Note remain for the most part the same.

The remaining balance of the Note, $369,692, was acquired by Tangiers from Shelter in Quarter 1 of 2012, and was subsequently retired in full as well.  As of March 31, 2012, the Company note balance with Shelter Island was retired in full.

Tangiers Investors, LP
 
During the period ended March 31, 2012, the Company issued 31,005,915 shares for a total value of $446,692 to Tangiers Investors, LP (“Tangiers”) pursuant to conversions by Tangiers under portions of Shelter’s Replacement Note, described above, acquired by Tangiers from Shelter.  $369, 692 of this total value was due to conversions by Tangiers under portions of the Replacement Note acquired by Tangiers during the period from January 2012 through March 2012.  The remainder $77,000 was due to conversions by Tangiers under portions of the Replacement Note that were acquired by Tangiers in 2011.
 
Tangiers also provided ten separate convertible notes, two for $125,000 each and eight for $25,000. The two $125,000 convertible promissory bears an interest charge of 7% per annum and mature one year from the date of issuance; June 1, 2012 and June 15, 2012 respectively.  Tangiers may elect to convert all or part of the principal of this Convertible Note and any unpaid or accrued interest at any time before the maturity date.  The conversion rate is 77.5% of the lowest Volume Weighted Average Price during the ten day prior to the conversion, subject to adjustments. The eight $25,000 notes bear an interest charge of 10% per annum and mature one year from the commencement date.  Tangiers may elect to convert all or part of the principal of this Convertible Note and any unpaid or accrued interest at any time before the maturity date.  The conversion rate is 70.0% of the lowest Volume Weighted Average Price during the ten day prior to the conversion, subject to adjustments.  In total, the company issued 24,330,366 shares for a total value of $366,122 pursuant to these conversions.

JMJ Notes March 24, 2010
 
On March 24, 2010, JMJ issued and delivered to the Company a $1,500,000 “Secured & Collateralized Promissory Note,” (the “JMJ Note”). The JMJ Note bears interest in the form of a one-time interest charge of 10.33%, and interest is payable with the JMJ Note’s principal balance on its maturity date of March 24, 2013. The JMJ Note is secured by JMJ assets having a value of at least $1,500,000. Concurrently, the Company issued a $1,550,000 “Convertible Promissory Note” (the “2010 Note”) to JMJ. The 2010 Note bears interest in the form of a onetime interest charge of 10%, payable with the Note’s principal amount on the maturity date, March 24, 2013. The net difference between the JMJ Note and the 2010 Note, $50,000, represents a discount.

No mandatory principal or interest payments are due on the JMJ Note until its maturity date. However, voluntary prepayments at the option of JMJ are customary and provide the Company with access to liquidity and working capital as amounts are advanced under the JMJ Note. At the option of JMJ, at any time, the 2010 Note principal and interest is convertible only into shares of the Company’s common stock, originally fixed at a per share conversion price equal to 85% of the average of the 5 lowest traded prices for the Company’s common stock in the 20 trading days previous to the effective date of each such conversion. If no such conversions are made, the principal and interest amount is due and payable in cash on the maturity date.
 
In 2012, JMJ exercised its conversion rights under the 2010 Note, and the Company issued JMJ a total of 38,892,000 shares, for a total value of $550,305.

St. George Investments, LLC
 
On March 10, 2011, the Company entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with St. George Investments, LLC, (“St. George”) an Illinois limited liability company (the "Investor") whereby the Company issued and sold, and the Investor purchased: (i) Secured Convertible Promissory Notes of the Company in the principal amount of $1,105,500 (the "Company Note") and (ii) a Warrant to purchase common stock of the Company (the "Warrant"). The Investor paid $250,000 in cash as an initial payment to the Company and executed and delivered six separate “Secured Buyer Notes” (the “Buyer Notes”), as consideration in full for the issuance and sale of the Company Note and Warrants.

The principal amount of the Company Note is $1,105,500 ("Maturity Amount") and the Company Note is due 48 months from the issuance date of March 10, 2011. The Company Note has an interest rate of 6.0%, which would increase to a rate of 12.0% on the happening of certain Trigger Events, including but not limited to: a decline in the 10-day trailing average daily dollar volume of the common shares in the Company’s primary market to less than $30,000.00 of volume per day at any time; the failure by the Company or its transfer agent to deliver Conversion Shares (defined in the Company Note) within 5 days of Company’s receipt of a Conversion Notice (defined in the Company Note). The total amount funded (in cash and notes) at closing will be $1,000,000, representing the Maturity Amount less an original issue discount of $100,500.00 and the payment of $5,000 to the Investor to cover its fees, with payment consisting of $250,000 advanced at closing and $750,000 in a series of six secured convertible Buyer Notes of $125,000.00 each, with interest rates of 5.0%. To date, St. George has paid the total amount of $1,000,000.

The Buyer Notes are secured by an Irrevocable Standby Letter of Credit (“Letter of Credit”). The Investor has also received a five year warrant entitling it to purchase 1,392,354 shares of common stock of the Company at an exercise price of $.179. The warrant also contains a net exercise /cashless exercise provision. Pursuant to conversions made by St. George under the above-described notes in 2011, the Company issued 8,300,000 total shares to St. George for a total value of $117,461.

In July 2011 St. George acquired portions of Shelter’s Replacement Note, described above, in a total amount of $250,000, through several separate assignments. St. George has exercised its conversion rights under the Replacement Note and these assignments thereof.

In total, the Company issued 16,206,983 shares through March 31, 2012 for a total value of $186,250, pursuant to these conversions.
