FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013 AND 2012

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Overview

As of the first quarter of 2013, our principal line of business is in the field of biomedicine. Specifically, through our wholly-owned subsidiary Cellular Biomedicine Group Ltd. (BVI), we are involved in the development of new treatments for cancerous and degenerative diseases utilizing proprietary cell technologies, which include, without limitation, (i) TC-DC (tumor cell specific dendritic cells) for treatment of a board range of cancers, (ii) haMPC (human adipose-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells) for treatment of joint disease, (iii) huMPC (human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells), (iv) MNP (human embryo-derived motor neuron precursor cells) and NP (human embryo-derived neuronal precursor cells) for treatment of central nervous system diseases. Leading up to our recent change of control, we were primarily engaged in financial consulting. We continue to operate our financial consulting business under a wholly owned subsidiary, as discussed in further detail below.

Corporate History

Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (formerly known as EastBridge Investment Group Corporation) (the “Company”), was originally incorporated in the State of Arizona on June 25, 2001 under the name ATC Technology Corporation. ATC Technology Corporation changed its corporate name to EastBridge Investment Group Corporation in September 2005 and changed its business focus to providing investment related services in Asia, with a strong focus on high GDP growth countries, such as China. The Company provides consulting services necessary for small to medium-size companies to obtain capital to grow their business. The Company assists its clients in locating investment banking, financial advisory and other financial services necessary to become public companies in the United States or find joint venture partners or raise capital to expand their businesses. While it still maintains its consulting services business, effective with the merger in the first quarter of 2013, the Company has shifted its focus to the field of biomedicine.

Reorganization and Share Exchange

Effective January 18, 2013, the Company completed its reincorporation from the State of Arizona to the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”). The Company filed its Certificate of Incorporation and Certificate of Conversion with the Delaware Secretary of State on January 18, 2013. In connection with the Reincorporation, each 100 shares of common stock of the Company was converted into 1 share, with the same effect as a 1:100 reverse stock split, effective on January 31, 2013. Please refer to the Current Reports on Form 8-K, filed by the Company on January 25, 2013 and February 1, 2013. All share and per share information in this 10-Q, unless otherwise specified, are retroactively restated to reflect this conversion.

Merger with CBMG BVI

On November 13, 2012, EastBridge Investment Group Corporation, an Arizona corporation (“EastBridge”), CBMG Acquisition Limited, a British Virgin Islands company and the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary (“Merger Sub”) and Cellular Biomedicine Group Ltd. (“CBMG BVI”), a British Virgin Islands company, entered into a Merger Agreement, pursuant to which CBMG BVI was the surviving entity in a merger with Merger Sub whereby CBMG BVI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Merger"). The Merger was consummated on February 6, 2013 (the “Closing Date”). Upon consummation of the Merger, CBMG BVI shareholders were issued 3,638,941 shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) constituting approximately 70% of the outstanding stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis and the then current Company shareholders retained 30% of the Company on a fully-diluted basis. Specifically, each of CBMG BVI’s ordinary shares (“CBMG BVI Ordinary Shares”) were converted into the right to receive 0.020019 shares of Company Common Stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

A copy of the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated November 13, 2012 and Amendments 1, 2 and 3 thereto, were included as Exhibits 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 12, 2013.

Also in connection with the Merger, the Company created a new Delaware subsidiary named EastBridge Investment Corp. (“EastBridge Sub”). Pursuant to a Contribution Agreement by and between the Company and EastBridge Sub dated February 5, 2013, the Company contributed all of its then current assets and liabilities to EastBridge Sub which continued the business and operations of the Company at the subsidiary level. A copy of the Contribution Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 12, 2013.

As a result of the Merger, the Company now has two operating subsidiaries: CBMG BVI and EastBridge Sub.

In connection with the Merger, effective on March 5, 2013, the Company (formerly named “EastBridge Investment Group Corporation”) changed its name to “Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc.” In addition in March 2013, the Company changed its corporate headquarters to 530 University Avenue in Palo Alto, California.

NOTE 2 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As of February 6, 2013, EastBridge merged with Cellular Biomedicine Group, Ltd., with Cellular Biomedicine Group, Ltd. being the accounting acquirer thus resulting in a reverse merger for accounting purposes. Therefore, the accompanying financial statements are on a consolidated basis subsequent to February 6, 2013, but only reflect the operations of Cellular Biomedicine Group, Ltd. prior to the date of acquisition.

The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of Cellular Biomedicine Group, Ltd for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed on as Exhibit 99.1 to Form 8-K/A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 24, 2013. Unless otherwise noted in this report, any description of “us”, “our” or “we” refers to Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company prepares its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Significant accounting policies are as follows:

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and reflect the accounts and operations of the Company and its majority or wholly-owned subsidiaries, beginning with the date of their respective acquisition. In accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Section 810, or ASC 810, Consolidation, the Company consolidates any variable interest entity, or VIE, of which it is the primary beneficiary. The typical condition for a controlling financial interest ownership is holding a majority of the voting interests of an entity; however, a controlling financial interest may also exist in entities, such as variable interest entities, through arrangements that do not involve controlling voting interests. ASC 810 requires a variable interest holder to consolidate a VIE if that party has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company does not consolidate a VIE in which it has a majority ownership interest when the Company is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that it is the primary beneficiary in a VIE—refer to Note 5, Variable Interest Entity. The Company evaluates its relationships with the VIE on an ongoing basis to ensure that it continues to be the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.

These estimates and assumptions also affect the reported amounts of revenues, costs and expenses during the reporting period. Management evaluates these estimates and assumptions on a regular basis. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

The Company utilizes the guidance set forth in the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, regarding the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in its financial statements.

For its Consulting segment, the Company engages in listing contracts with its clients which provide for the payment of fees, either in cash or equity, upon the achievement of certain milestones by the client, including the successful completion of a financial statement audit, the successful listing on a national stock exchange or over-the-counter market and the maintenance of ongoing 1934 Act reporting requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In some instances, payment may be made in advance of performance; however, such payment is often refundable in the event that milestones are not reached. The Company recognizes revenue on a systematic basis as milestones are reached in accordance with FASB’s ASC (“605-28-25”). Such guidance stipulates that revenue be recognized for individual elements in a multiple deliverable arrangement using the relative selling price method. The Company relies on internal estimates of the relative selling price of each element as objective third-party evidence is unattainable.

For its Biomedicine segment, the Company recognizes revenue when pervasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, collection is reasonably assured and delivery of products or services has been rendered.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and cash in the bank. At times, cash deposits may exceed government-insured limits.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent amounts earned but not collected in connection with the Company’s Biomedicine segment sales. The Company’s Consulting segment does not have accounts receivable from regular operations. Account receivables are carried at their estimated collectible amounts.

The Company plans to follow the allowance method of recognizing uncollectible accounts receivable. The Company recognizes bad debt expense based on specifically identifying customers and invoices that are anticipated to be uncollectable. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, an allowance was determined to not be needed as the Company is still performing clinical trials and has not yet generated revenues from its cell therapy candidates in the Biomedicine segment. Correspondingly the Company has not recorded any bad debt expense for the periods ended March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Inventory

Inventories consist of finished goods, raw materials, work-in-process, and low value consumable materials. Inventories are initially recognized at cost and subsequently at the lower of costs and net realizable value. First in first out cost is used to determine the cost. Finished goods are comprised of direct materials, direct labor, depreciation and manufacturing overhead. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price, in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs to complete and dispose. The Company regularly inspects the shelf life of prepared finished goods and, if necessary, writes down their carrying value based on their salability and expiration dates into cost of goods sold.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets and begins when the related assets are placed in service. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Betterments or renewals are capitalized when incurred. Plant, property and equipment are reviewed each year to determine whether any events or circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable.

For the periods ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, depreciation expense was $131,415 and $36,783, respectively.

Depreciation is provided for on the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:

Office equipment	5 years

Manufacturing equipment	5 years

Leasehold improvements	5 years

Computer equipment	5 years

Goodwill and Other Intangibles

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of assets acquired over the fair value of the net assets at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets represent the fair value of separately recognizable intangible assets acquired in connection with the Company’s business combinations. The Company evaluates its goodwill and other intangibles for impairment on an annual basis or whenever events or circumstances indicate that an impairment may have occurred. The Company intends to perform its annual impairment test in the fourth quarter of 2013. As of March 31, 2013 no impairment has been recorded with respect to any goodwill or intangible assets.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance would be provided for those deferred tax assets for which if it is more likely than not that the related benefit will not be realized.

A full valuation allowance has been established against all net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2013 based on estimates of recoverability. While the Company has optimistic plans for its business strategy, it has determined that such a valuation allowance was necessary given the current and expected near term losses and the uncertainty with respect to its ability to generate sufficient profits from its business model.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Share-Based Compensation

The Company periodically uses stock-based awards, consisting of shares of common stock, to compensate certain employees, officers and consultants. Shares are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, if any.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Under the FASB’s authoritative guidance on fair value measurements, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In determining the fair value, the Company uses various methods including market, income and cost approaches. Based on these approaches, the Company often utilizes certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable inputs. The Company uses valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. Based on observability of the inputs used in the valuation techniques, the Company is required to provide the following information according to the fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Financial assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in active exchange markets. Valuations are obtained from readily available pricing sources for market transactions involving identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Valuations for assets and liabilities traded in less active dealer or broker markets. Valuations are obtained from third party pricing services for identical or similar assets or liabilities.

Level 3: Valuations for assets and liabilities that are derived from other valuation methodologies, including option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques, and not based on market exchange, dealer or broker traded transactions. Level 3 valuations incorporate certain unobservable assumptions and projections in determining the fair value assigned to such assets.

All transfers between fair value hierarchy levels are recognized by the Company at the end of each reporting period. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, an investment’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety, requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the investment. The inputs or methodology used for valuing financial instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risks associated with investment in those instruments.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value:

Investments

The fair value of “investments” is dependent on the type of investment, whether it is marketable or non-marketable.

Marketable securities held by the Company are held for an indefinite period of time and thus are classified as available-for-sale securities. The fair value is determined by the closing price for the investment as of the balance sheet date. Realized investment gains and losses are included in the statement of operations, as are provisions for other than temporary declines in the market value of available for-sale securities. Unrealized gains and unrealized losses deemed to be temporary are excluded from earnings (losses), net of applicable taxes, as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). Factors considered in judging whether an impairment is other than temporary include the financial condition, business prospects and creditworthiness of the issuer, the length of time that fair value has been less than cost, the relative amount of decline, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment until the fair value recovers.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The carrying amounts of other financial instruments, including cash, other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, income tax payable and related party payable approximate fair value due to their short maturities.

Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Net loss per share was computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The weighted average number of shares was calculated by taking the number of shares outstanding and weighting them by the amount of time that they were outstanding. Diluted net loss per share for the Company is the same as basic net loss per share, as the Company has not issued any dilutive securities.

Comprehensive Loss

U.S. GAAP establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income or loss, requiring its components to be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. Our comprehensive loss was $6,466,501 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $924,455 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Foreign Currency Translation

The Company's financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars ($), which is the Company’s reporting currency, while some of the Company’s subsidiaries’ functional currency is Chinese Renminbi (RMB). Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded at the functional currency rate ruling at the date of transaction. Any differences between the initially recorded amount and the settlement amount are recorded as a gain or loss on foreign currency transaction in the consolidated statements of income. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are translated at the functional currency rate of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Any differences are taken to profit or loss as a gain or loss on foreign currency translation in the statements of income. In accordance with ASC 830, Foreign Currency Matters, the Company translates the assets and liabilities into USD from RMB using the rate of exchange prevailing at the applicable balance sheet date and the statements of income and cash flows are translated at an average rate during the reporting period. Adjustments resulting from the translation are recorded in shareholders' equity as part of accumulated other comprehensive income. The PRC government imposes significant exchange restrictions on fund transfers out of the PRC that are not related to business operations. These restrictions have not had a material impact on the Company because it has not engaged in any significant transactions that are subject to the restrictions.

Reclassification

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentations.

The Company adopted ASU 2011-05 for its fourth quarter ended December 31, 2011, except for the components of ASU 2011-05 which were indefinitely deferred by ASU 2011-12, and has included separate unaudited statements of comprehensive income in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as it only required a change in the format of the current presentation.

NOTE 5 - VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITY

VIEs are those entities in which a company, through contractual arrangements, bears the risk of, and enjoys the rewards normally associated with ownership of the entity, and therefore the company is the primary beneficiary of the entity.

NOTE 10 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets that are subject to amortization are reviewed for potential impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that carrying amounts may not be recoverable.

The Company evaluates the continuing value of the intangibles at each balance sheet date and records write-downs if the continuing value has become impaired. An impairment is determined to exist if the anticipated future cash flow attributable to the asset is less than its carrying value. The asset is then reduced to the net present value of the anticipated future cash flow. Goodwill is reviewed for possible impairment at least annually or more frequently upon the occurrence of an event or when circumstances indicate that a reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than its fair value.

There was no such compensation cost for the three months ended March 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2013, there was $1,552,903 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.71 years for the stock option awards.

2009 Stock Option Plan

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company's Board of Directors approved and adopted the 2009 Stock Option Plan (the "Plan") and designated 100,000 shares of our common stock for issuance under the Plan to employees, directors or consultants for EastBridge through either the issuance of shares or stock option grants. Under the terms of the Plan, stock option grants shall be made with exercise prices not less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock on the grant date. Since adoption, the Company issued an aggregate of approximately 95,000 shares of Common Stock under the plan. These grants were not stock options but instead represent fully vested shares at the date of grant. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued no shares of common stock under the 2009 Incentive Plan.

Amended and Restated 2011 Incentive Stock Option Plan

The Company has historically granted stock-based compensation awards in the form of restricted stock to key employees, officers, directors and service providers. Awards are earned over the following periods: 30% on the first anniversary of the grant date, 30% on the second anniversary of the grant date, and 40% on the third anniversary of the grant date. As part of the merger these awards will be issued under the Amended and Restated 2011 Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “2011 Plan”). As of March 31, 2013, a total of 63,133 restricted shares awards have been granted that remain unearned. As of March 31, 2013, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested awards was $164,316 for which the weighted average period over which such compensation cost is to be recognized is 1.75 years.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company issued 264,738, shares of common stock under the 2011 Plan. All shares were issued to officers, directors and employees of the company as stock based compensation. Additional shares of 423,733 have been reserved under the 2011 Plan but have not been issued as described above in the forms of options and restricted share awards.

	Total shares reserved under the plan		Remaining shares available for issuance under the plan
2009 Stock Option Plan		100,000		4,593
Amended and Restated 2011 Incentive Stock Option Plan		780,000		88,161

OVERVIEW

Recent Developments

As of the date of this report, our biomedicine business is engaged in two clinical trials for cell therapy candidates:

●	haMPC (Human Adipose-derived Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells) therapy for Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA): www.clinicaltrials.gov #NCT01809769

●	TC-DC Therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (liver cancer): www.clinicaltrials.gov #NCT01828762

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Phase I clinical trial for Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), was launched in March 2013, has recruited over 50% of the patients required for the trial. Our Phase I clinical trial for TC-DC immunotherapy treatment for Heptocellular Carcinoma (HCC) was also launched in March of 2013, and has recruited over 50% of its required patients. We expect initial results from these clinical trials to be available in the second quarter of 2013. The focus of each of these trials is primarily on safety, however these trials are also expected to yield preliminary results on efficacy. We presently anticipate that our Phase I clinical trial for KOA therapy will be completed in the third quarter of 2013, and our Phase I clinical trial for TC-DC Therapy for HCC to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2013.

With regard to our intellectual property portfolio, in the first quarter of 2013 we secured patents relating to the use of allogeneic stromal vascular fraction (SVF) or mesenchymal progenitor cells for the prevention, and treatment of Osteoarthritis and a patent for using allogeneic stromal vascular fraction and haMPCs or mesenchymal progenitor cells for the prevention and treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis.

In the next 12 months, we aim to accomplish the following in our biomedicine business:

Approval of a Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) kit by the SFDA (SVF kits are 'toolboxes' used by physicians to safely extract cell samples from patients).

●	Adipose tissue transportation kit approval as a medical device (these kits permit safe and effective transportation of extracted or processed cells).

●	Completion of KOA Phase I trial safety data and advanced staggered filing of Phase II trial.

●	Preliminary HCC Phase I trial results.

●	Approval of additional pending Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) patents.

For the quarter ended March 13, 2012, the biomedicine business generated $78,589 in revenue from the sales of enzyme reagent kits. We expect our biomedicine business to generate revenues primarily from the development of therapies for the treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis in 2014 and Hepatocellular Carcinoma in 2015 or 2016.

Our first quarter 2013 operating expenses in the Biomedicine business were in line with management’s plans and expectations. We incurred an increase in operating expenses of approximately $480,000 for the period ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the period ended March 31, 2012, which is attributable to our merger transaction, in addition to expenses related to being a public company.

In addition, for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 we issued 342,360 shares of common stock, for which we recorded an expense of $1,694,682, based on the quoted market prices on the dates of issuance. These issuances were made to certain pre-merger private investors in Cellular Biomedicine Group Limited (CBMG BVI) while it was a privately-held corporation. CBMG BVI agreed that if it did not achieve ten Phase II clinical trials by March 31, 2013 it would issue certain contingent shares to its private investors. This contingent share obligation to investors was assumed by the Company in the merger. At March 31, 2013 the Company was required to issue the contingent shares to these pre-merger investors.

Corporate History

Merger Between CBMG and EastBridge Investment Group Corporation

On November 13, 2012, EastBridge Investment Group Corporation (then an Arizona corporation) signed an agreement to merge with Cellular Biomedicine Group Limited, at that time a British Virgin Islands Company (CBMG BVI). Under the merger agreement, EastBridge’s wholly-owned merger subsidiary agreed to merge with CBMG BVI, with CBMG BVI as the surviving entity. As a result of the merger, which was consummated on February 6, 2013, Cellular Biomedicine Group Ltd. became the wholly-owned subsidiary of EastBridge Investment Group Ltd. The transactions under the merger agreement as amended are referred to as the “Merger”.

Also in connection with the Merger, the Company created a new Delaware subsidiary called EastBridge Investment Corp. (“EastBridge Sub”). Pursuant to a Contribution Agreement by and between EastBridge and EastBridge Sub dated February 6, 2013 (the “Contribution Agreement”), EastBridge contributed all of its current assets and liabilities to a newly formed, wholly-owned subsidiary of EastBridge, named “EastBridge Investment Corp.,” which will continue the current business and operations of EastBridge. A copy of the agreement and plan of merger, and all related exhibits, were previously filed on Form 8-K filed on February 12, 2013. For additional information regarding our Merger, please refer to our current report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2013 as amended on April 24, 2013, including all subsequent amendments, which reports are incorporated by reference.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Effective on March 5, 2013 the Company changed its corporate name to “Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc.” As of the date of this report, our primary business is in the field of biomedicine.

Biomedicine Business Overview

Our biomedicine business was founded in 2009 as a specialty biomedicine group by a team of experienced Chinese-American executives, scientists and doctors. In 2010 we established a manufacturing facility in Wuxi, and in 2012 we established a manufacturing facility in Shanghai, each of which are compliant with U.S. FDA “good manufacturing practice” (GMP) standard protocols. Our focus has been to monetize the rapidly growing health care market in China by marketing and commercializing stem cell and immune cell therapeutics, related tools and products from our patent-protected proprietary cell technology developed by our research and development team, as well as by utilizing exclusively in-licensed intellectual properties.

Our treatment focal points are cancer, neurodegenerative and other degenerative diseases comprised of Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and Stroke.

In the cancer field, our in-licensed product candidate Tumor Cell Targeted Dendritic Cell (TC-DC) has successfully completed a U.S. FDA Phase II clinical trial for the treatment of Metastatic Melanoma at the Hoag Medical Center in California. Under applicable international reciprocity procedures we are utilizing data generated in a U.S. Phase II clinical trial in an analogous China-based SFDA Phase I/II Clinical Trial for the treatment of Liver Cancer. Management believes we will be able to leverage skin cancer data produced in ongoing trials in the U.S., and apply it toward advancing our product candidate for the treatment of liver cancer and other cancer-related indications.

In addition, we plan to begin pre-clinical studies on the use of allogeneic Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) for the treatment of Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis. We have also exclusively in-licensed Motor Neuron Precursor Cell and Neuronal Cell technology and plan to launch trials for its use in the treatment of ALS, SMA, and Stroke.

As the cancers which our potential therapies target all have relatively low survival rates, annual incidence (number of new cases) is roughly equivalent to existing served available market. If a disease span is long, the number of patients will be accumulative and larger than new cases per year. There are 300,000 new cases of Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) per year in China. There are 30,000 new cases of Metastatic Melanoma, with those diagnosed to be Stage IV having a median survival time of 18 months. Additionally, there are 15 million people aged 60 or older with KOA in China. For Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type I (SMA-I), there are about 1,000 newborns with SMA-I disease in China annually. The median life span of these children is less than 6 months. Adult incidence is approximately 2 million in China.

Our plan calls for 120, 60 and 30 patients respectively in clinical trials for the treatment of each of the cancers, KOA, and SMA. We have employed a multinational Contract Research Organization (CRO) to manage trial design and to minimize errors and delays. The first safety/efficacy milestone report for the Cancer and KOA clinical trials are scheduled in the third quarter of 2013. The first potential patients relating to these indications are expected in the first half of 2014.

We have a long term joint venture with California Stem Cell Inc. (CSC). Under our joint venture arrangement we hold an exclusive license from CSC to develop and market Cancer (TC-DC), Motor Neuron Precursor Cells (MNP) and Neuronal Precursor Cells (NP) in greater China and Taiwan. These methodologies enable us to conduct certain clinical trials and commercialization. Our TC-DC therapy utilizes dendritic cells that have been taught the unique “signature” of the patient’s cancer, in order to trigger an effective immune response against cancer stem cells, the root cause of cancer metastasis and recurrence. We have a process to develop MNP and NP cells with high purity levels, validated by synapse formation, and have shown functional innervation with human muscle cells. These products enable us to conduct certain clinical trials and pursue commercialization of TC-DC therapy, and explore the development of new therapies for a variety of neurodegenerative diseases. Our four cellular technology platforms (TC-DC, adult adipose-derived, umbilical cells, and neural stem cells) enable us to create multiple cell formulations to develop potential treatments for specific medical conditions and diseases, as well as applying single cell types in a specific treatment protocol.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our facilities are certified to meet the international standards NSF/ANSI 49, ISO-14644, ANSI/NCSL Z-540-1 and 10CFR21, as well as Chinese SFDA standards CNAS L0221. In addition to standard protocols, we use proprietary processes and procedures for manufacturing our cell lines comprised of:

●	Extraction, cultivation and banking processes that insure cell preservation and viability

●	DNA identification for stem cell ownership

●	Bio-safety testing at independently certified laboratories.

Our Strategy

Our biomedicine business is in the development stage. Presently we have two autologous cell therapy candidates undergoing clinical trials in China, HCC and KOA. If and when these therapies gain regulatory approval in the PRC, we will be able to market and offer them for clinical use. Although our biomedicine business was very recently organized, our technologies have been in development for decades, and our focus is on the latest translational stages of product development, principally from the pre-clinical trial stage to regulatory approval and commercialization of new therapies.

Our strategy is to develop safe and effective cellular medicine therapies for indications that represent a large unmet need in China, based on technologies developed both in-house and obtained through licensing arrangements with other companies. Our near term objective is to pursue successful clinical trials in China for our KOA application, followed by our HCC therapy. We intend to utilize our comprehensive cell platform to support multiple cell lines to pursue multiple therapies, both allogeneic and autologous. We intend apply U.S. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and protocols while complying with Chinese regulations, while owning, developing and executing our own clinical trial protocols. We plan to establish domestic and international joint ventures or partnerships to set up cell laboratories and/or research facilities, in-license technology from outside of China, and build affiliations with hospitals, to develop a commercialization path for our therapies, once approved. We intend to use our first-mover advantage in China, against a backdrop of enhanced regulation by the central government, to differentiate ourselves from the competition and establish a leading position in the China cell therapeutic market.

CBMG initially plans to use its centralized manufacturing facility located in Shanghai to service multiple hospitals within 200Km of the facility. We aim to complete clinical trials for our KOA and HCC therapy candidates via the medical technology pathway through designated hospitals. Our goal is to first obtain permission for commercial use of the therapies from the Ministry of Health, for the respective hospitals in which the trials are being conducted. CBMG plans to scale up its customer base by qualifying multiple additional hospitals for the post-trial use of therapies, once approved, by following guidelines administered by MOH.

Additionally, CBMG participates in the formulation of stem cell policy in China as a member of the Class III Medical Technology Approval Committee within the Chinese Medical Doctor’s Association (CMDA), an advisory body for the State Food & Drug Administration (SFDA) and Ministry of Health (MOH) on stem cell policy and regulatory affairs. We believe that few competitors in China are as well-equipped as we are in clinical trial development, diversified U.S. FDA protocol compliant manufacturing, regulatory compliance and policy making participation, as well as a long-term presence in the U.S. with U.S.-based management and investor base.

Our Technology

CBMG’s Cellular Biomedicine Technology Platforms

In order to expedite fulfillment of patient treatment CBMG has been actively developing technologies and products with a strong IP fortification, including human adipose-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (haMPC), derived from fat tissue, for the treatment of Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA) and other indications, and human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (huMPC) for the treatment of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and other indications. CBMG has also been actively engaging in in-license partnerships with world leading scientists and companies, including tumor cell specific dendritic cells (TC-DC) therapy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma (Liver Cancer) treatment. In addition, through our joint venture arrangement with California Stem Cells, Inc., CBMG has rights to develop cell therapies based on motor neuron precursor cells (MNP) and neuronal precursor cells (NP).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

CBMG’s proprietary and patent-protected production processes and clinical protocols enable us to produce raw material, manufacture cells, and conduct cell banking and distribution. Our proprietary cell lines (haMPC, huMPC, TC-DC, MNP, as further discussed below) provide us with the ability to customize specialize formulations to address complex diseases and debilitating conditions.

CBMG has been developing disease-specific clinical treatment protocols. These protocols are designed for each of these proprietary cell lines (haMPC, huMPC, TC-DC, MNP) to address patient-specific medical conditions. These protocols include medical assessment to qualify each patient for treatment, evaluation of each patient before and after a specific therapy, cell transplantation methodologies including dosage, frequency and the use of adjunct therapies, potential adverse effects and their proper management.

The protocols of haMPC therapy for knee osteoarthritis (KOA) and TC-DC therapy for hepatic cellular carcinoma (liver cancer) have been approved by the Institutional Review Board of qualified hospitals for clinical trials. Once the trials are completed, the clinical data will be analyzed by a qualified third party statistician and reports will be filed by the hospitals to regulatory agencies for approval for use in treating patients.

Our Cellular Technology Platforms

Human Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells (haMPC)

Adult mesenchymal stem cells can currently be isolated from a variety of adult human sources, such as liver, bone marrow, and adipose (fat) tissue. The advantages in using adipose tissue (as opposed to bone marrow or blood) are that it is a one of the richest sources of pluripotent cells in the body, the easy and repeatable access to fat via liposuction, and the simple cell isolation procedures that can begin to take place even on-site with minor equipment needs. The procedure we are testing for KOA involves extracting a very small amount of fat using a minimally invasive extraction process which takes up to 20 minutes, and leaves no scarring. The haMPC cells are then processed and isolated on site, and injected intra articularly into the knee joint with ultrasound guidance.

These haMPC cells are capable of differentiating into bone, cartilage, tendon, skeletal muscle, and fat under the right conditions. As such, human adipose-derived Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells (haMPC’s) are an attractive focus for medical research and clinical development. Importantly, we believe both allogenic and autologously sourced haMPC’s may be used in the treatment of disease. Numerous studies have provided preclinical data that support the safety and efficacy of allogenic and autologously derived haMPC, offering a choice for those where factors such as donor age and health are an issue.

Additionally, certain disease treatment plans call for an initial infusion of these cells in the form of Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF), an initial form of cell isolation that can be completed and injected within ninety minutes of receiving lipoaspirate. The therapeutic potential conferred by the cocktail of ingredients present in the SVF is also evident, as it is a rich source for preadipocytes, mesenchymal stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, T regulatory cells and anti-inflammatory macrophages.

Human Umbilical Cord Derived Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells (huMPC)

CBMG has developed a stem cell line called human umbilical cord derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (huMPC). These huMPCs have a tremendous capacity for self-renewal whilst also maintaining their multipotent ability to differentiate into osteoblasts, adipocytes, and chondrocytes as well as myocytes and neurons.

The youngest, most potent huMPCs are obtained from umbilical cord tissue, called Wharton’s jelly, which is normally discarded as medical waste after the birth of a newborn. This tissue contains a much higher concentration of huMPC’s compared to cord blood. Researchers have shown that allogeneic huMPCs have potential therapeutic effects in cerebral palsy, Autism, cardiovascular diseases, spinal cord injury, autoimmune diseases, cartilage damage, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and many other degenerative diseases. CBMG has built a huMPC line with a high safety profile and preliminary evidence suggests therapeutic use in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and cerebral palsy (CP).

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Tumor Cell Specific Dendritic Cells (TC-DC)

Recent scientific findings indicate the presence of special cells in tumors that are responsible for cancer metastases and relapse. Referred to as “cancer stem cells”, these cells make up only a small portion of the tumor mass. The central concept behind Tumor Stem Cell Specific Dendritic Cell (TC-DC) therapy is to immunize against these cells. TC-DC therapy takes a sample of the patient’s own purified and irradiated cancer cells and combines them with specialized immune cells, thereby ‘educating’ the immune cells to destroy the cancer stem cells from which tumors arise. We believe the selective targeting of cells that drive tumor growth would allow for effective cancer treatment without the risks and side effects of current therapies that also destroy healthy cells in the body.

Motor Neuron Precursor Cells (MNP) and Neuronal Precursor Cells (NP)

Cellular Biomedicine Group has fully licensed and transferred technology from California Stem Cell to produce clinical-quality motor neuron and neuronal progenitor cells from human embryonic stem cells (heSC’s). These stem cell-derived motor neurons have potential applications in treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (motor neuron disease, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease), a condition caused by a debilitating rapid progressive weakness, muscle atrophy and loss of motor function; and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a group of debilitating disorders characterized by degeneration of lower motor neurons situated in the lower spinal cord, causing atrophy of various muscle groups in the body. Presently none of these conditions or disorders have any known cure.

Our Targeted Indications and Potential Therapies

Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA)

We are currently conducting a Phase I clinical trial for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Enrollment of patients is ongoing, and is expected to be completed by May 2013. The treatment period for each patient is three months. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease of the joints. KOA is one of the most common types of OA. Pathological manifestation of OA is primarily local inflammation caused by immune response and subsequent damage of joints. Restoration of immune response and joint tissues are the objective of therapies.

Fifty-three percent of KOA patients will degenerate to the point of disability. Conventional treatment usually involves invasive surgery with painful recovery and physical therapy. Currently, patients suffering from osteoarthritis in China number approximately 40 million people. Of these, approximately 70% suffer from knee osteoarthritis. As drug-based methods of management are ineffective, some 1.5 million patients with this disability will degenerate to the point of requiring artificial joint replacement surgery every year. However, only forty thousand will actually be able to undergo replacement surgery, leaving the majority of patients to suffer from a life-long disability due to lack of effective treatment.

Human adipose-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (haMPC’s) are currently being considered as a new and effective treatment for osteoarthritis, with a huge potential market. In 2009, the worldwide market for orthopedic, tissue repair and cell therapy related products reached $3.6 billion, and sales are expected to reach $5.5 billion in 2014.

In order to bring haMPC-based KOA therapy to market, our market strategy is to: (a) establish regional laboratories that comply with cGMP standards in Shanghai and Beijing that meet Chinese Ministry of Health (MOH) approval; and (b) file joint applications with Class AAA hospitals near our laboratories to use haMPC’s to treat knee osteoarthritis in a clinical trial setting.

Our competitors are pursuing treatments for osteoarthritis, such as Zimmer, Inc., which is developing a knee cartilage implant. However, unlike their approach, our KOA therapy is not surgically invasive – it uses a small amount (50ml) of adipose tissue obtained via liposuction from the patient, which is cultured and re-injected into the patient. Stromal Vascular Fraction (SVF) is prepared using 25 millimeters of adipose tissue for immediate injection into the knee area, with the remaining tissue to be further processed to purify, expand and banked haMPCs for additional injections 1 and 3 months later. The injections are designed to induce the body’s secretion of growth factors promoting immune response and regulation, and regrowth of cartilage. The down-regulation of the patient’s immune response is aimed at reducing and controlling inflammation which is a central cause of KOA.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We believe our proprietary SVF purification method and subsequent haMPC proliferation and processing know-how will enable haMPC therapy to be a low cost and relatively safe and effective treatment for KOA. Additionally, banked haMPCs can continue to be stored for additional use in the future.

CBMG entered into a clinical trial agreement with Renji Hospital in affiliation with Shanghai Jiaotong University on January 28, 2013 to begin a Phase I/II clinical trial in using haMPC’s to apply to KOA indications in accordance with Chinese regulatory requirements. The objective of this clinical trial is evaluate efficacy and safety of this therapy, with results primarily measured by the WOMAC score (developed in 1982 by at Western Ontario and McMaster Universities), a set of standardized metrics used by health professionals to evaluate the condition of patients with osteoarthritis. Upon the completion of Phase II of the clinical trial, CBMG in accordance with the terms of the clinical trial agreement will retain the intellectual property rights to all confidential information and other information, including but not limited to invention, patent and technical know-how. CMBG expects to use such information and then be free to partner with other Class AAA hospitals and apply for MOH approval in the use of haMPC’s in KOA therapy. Before the conclusion of the clinical trial, CBMG expects to file a joint technology license application with selected hospitals with MOH for haMPC-based KOA therapy. Hospitals that have received license approval may then offer haMPC-based therapy as a product, with haMPC preparation and production being done by CBMG, with the hospital receiving appropriate cell therapy fees determined by local government guidelines. CBMG plans to charge a cell therapy technology service fee to the hospital.

In order to expand our KOA therapy, new Class AAA hospitals will need to successfully complete a confirmatory clinical trial (post-market study) involving a total of 10-20 patients, in order to jointly apply to MOH for a license to carry out haMPC-based KOA therapy. If its potential KOA therapy candidate successfully passes through clinical trials, CBMG intends to build a network of Class-AAA hospitals for clinical applications by introducing and encouraging other hospitals to engage in post-market studies.

Independent research and development work can be done with CBMG’s haMPC isolation and culture kit, as well as standardizing technical training and the clinical treatment program, with a view toward enhancing the quality of KOA cell therapy technology.

Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC)

CBMG has exclusive rights to develop and market tumor cell-dendritic cell (TC-DC) therapy for late stage HCC in greater China. In January 2013, we commenced a Phase I clinical trial with PLA 85 hospital in Shanghai, for our HCC therapy. Enrollment of patients is ongoing, and is expected to be completed by May 2013. The treatment period in this trial is six months. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety of our autologous immune cell therapy in primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients following resection (surgical tumor removal) and Transarterial Chemo Embolization (TACE) Therapy, a type of localized chemotherapy technique.

Recent scientific findings indicate that tumors contain specialized cells that allow for the generation of new tumors. Named cancer stem cells, these cells are responsible for both tumor metastases and recurrence. The central concept behind CBMG’s technology is to immunize against these cancer stem cells.

A number of our competitors are developing cancer treatment therapies, such as Promethera Biosciences of Belgium, and Beike. However unlike our competitors, we utilize the liver cancer stem cells as an antigen – these proliferating, self-renewing liver cancer stem cells provide a clean source of tumor antigens, without contamination from extraneous cells. The patient’s immune cells are isolated and trained to recognize, attack and eliminate the cancer cells.

Tumor stem cell specific dendritic cell (TC-DC) therapy was developed by Dr. Robert Dillman through more than 20 years of clinical research at the Hoag Cancer Center, California. The core idea of the TC-DC technique is to activate a patient’s immune system by exposure of cancer stem cell antigens to the key antigen presenting cells, dendritic cells (DC). In order to expose cancer stem cell antigens effectively, cancer tissue from patients is digested and its cancer stem cell is expanded and co-cultured with the patient’s own DCs in vitro. Together with GM-CSF the patient’s DCs are loaded with fixed cancer stem cells and are administered back to the patient in order to boost the patient’s immune system to recognize cancer stem cell antigens and then effectively eliminate them.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The safety and efficacy profiles of TC-DC are outstanding based on Phase II clinical trials of TC-DC therapy for metastatic melanoma (see Dillman, R.O., et al. 2009. Phase II Trial of Dendritic Cells Loaded with Antigens from Self-Renewing, Proliferating Autologous Tumor Cells as Patient-Specific Antitumor Vaccines in Patients with Metastatic Melanoma: Final Report. Cancer Biotherapy and Radiopharmaceuticals, Volume 24 Number 3.) The most recent Phase II clinical trial of metastatic melanoma has shown five-year survival rate of 54%, and this therapy has been shown to significantly reduce the rate of tumor recurrence and metastasis, improve patient longevity and quality of life.

According to existing laws in the PRC, this technology is considered a Category III medical technology and is managed and approved by the Ministry of Health. The current market strategy is for CBMG to contract with Class-AAA hospitals to set up either on-site or localized cGMP standard cell biology laboratories, and apply to MOH for Phase I/II clinical trials to use TC-DC therapy for liver cancer. Upon completion of these clinical trials, selected Class-AAA hospitals will jointly file applications to MOH for a license to treat liver cancer using TC-DC technology. For hospitals that have received a license, CBMG will provide liver cancer targeted DC cells, with the hospital charging appropriate cell therapy fees to the patient as determined by local government guidelines. We expect to derive revenues from service fees paid by hospitals.

One of the primary difficulties in administering effective cancer therapy is in the uniqueness of the disease – no two cancers are the same. Importantly, CBMG sources both immune and cancer cells directly from the patient, and our completely autologous approach to cancer therapy means that each dose is specific to each individual.

Using our cell production platform, CBMG has the ability to process, prepare and produce cancer stem cells directly from patient tissue. These cells are then purified and irradiated, and combined with specialized immune cells to destroy the cancer stem cells from which tumors arise. This therapy is delivered to the patient in the form of a minimally invasive subcutaneous injection.

After receiving resected tumor tissue at our lab, the first step is to perform an enzyme digest that breaks down the solid tumor into individual cells. These cells then enter a process and purification stage, where contaminating cells are eliminated. The next step is to establish a cell line in the expansion phase, which typically takes 6 weeks, depending on the quality and proliferation rate of the sample. Also during this stage, the patient undergoes a leukapheresis procedure in which circulating white blood cells are extracted, and further processed into dendritic cells in the lab. In the last step, the patient’s dendritic cells are combined with irradiated cancer stem cells and thus learn the particular cancer’s “signature”, and finally these dendritic cells are delivered over a series of subcutaneous injections.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus, commonly known as lupus, is an incurable disease that turns the body’s immune system against itself, eating away at skin, kidneys, nervous system and joints. The current standard of treatment in more severe cases of lupus involves the use of immunosuppressive drugs to control the disease, but often leads to many negative side-effects making this treatment option difficult for the patient by affecting quality of life, as immunosuppressant therapy is often life-long.

Recent studies have shown that human adipose-derived mesenchymal progenitor cells (haMPC’s) have the capability to modulate and suppress the immune response in tissue where inflammation is occurring. As haMPC’s have also been proved to have little to no threat of rejection from the host’s immune system, these cells have the potential to become the basis of a new therapy for lupus patients.

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA)

Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) is the result of a genetic mutation that causes the death of motor neurons in the spinal cord, resulting in weakness and wasting of the muscles in the arms and legs of infants and children. SMA Type I, the most severe form of the disease, is evident at birth or within the first few months, and babies with this condition in many cases never acquire the power, strength or endurance to sit independently, to crawl, or to walk. SMA affects all the muscle systems in the body, and the vast majority of babies diagnosed with SMA Type I do not live past the age of two without being placed on permanent life support. From the onset of this disease, patients generally continue to deteriorate over time, and there is no known cure.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management periodically evaluates the estimates and judgments made. Management bases its estimates and judgments on historical experience and on various factors that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates as a result of different assumptions or conditions.

The following summarizes critical estimates made by management in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.

Stock-Based Compensation

We periodically use stock-based awards, consisting of shares of common stock, to compensate certain officers and consultants. Shares are expensed on a straight line basis over the requisite service period based on the grant date fair value, net of estimated forfeitures, if any. Typically, our awards are fully vested at the date of grant, so forfeitures are not applicable.

Revenue Recognition

We utilize the guidance set forth in the Securities and Exchange Commission's Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, regarding the recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements.

We engage in listing contracts with our clients which provide for the payment of fees, either in cash or equity, upon the achievement of certain milestones by our clients with our assistance, including the successful completion of a financial statement audit, the successful listing on a national stock exchange and the maintenance of ongoing Exchange Act registration requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In some instances, payment may be made in advance of performance; however, such payment is often refundable in the event that milestones are not reached. We recognize revenue on a systematic basis as milestones are reached in accordance with FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 605 “Revenue Recognition” Update No. 2009-13. Such guidance stipulates that revenue be recognized for individual elements in a multiple deliverable arrangement using the relative selling price method. We rely on internal estimates of the relative selling price of each element as objective third-party evidence is unattainable.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for using the asset and liability method as prescribed by ASC 740 Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which these temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. A valuation allowance would be provided for those deferred tax assets for which if it is more likely than not that the related benefit will not be realized.

A full valuation allowance has been established against the majority of net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2013 based on estimates of recoverability. While we have optimistic plans for our business strategy, we determined that such a valuation allowance was necessary given the current and expected near term losses and the uncertainty with respect to our ability to generate sufficient profits from our business model.

Results of Operations

Below is a discussion of the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. These results are not necessarily indicative of result that may be expected in any future period. Our prospects should be considered in light of the risks, expenses and difficulties that we may encounter. We may not be successful in addressing these risk and difficulties.

As of February 6, 2013, the Company (formerly "EastBridge Investment Group Corporation") merged with Cellular Biomedicine Group, Ltd., with Cellular Biomedicine Group, Ltd. being the accounting acquirer thus resulting in a reverse merger for accounting purposes. Accordingly, our accompanying financial statements are reported on a consolidated basis subsequent to February 6, 2013, but reflect solely the operations of Cellular Biomedicine Group, Ltd. (a British Virgin Islands corporation) prior to the date of acquisition. Except where indicated, the following analysis compares the results of operations of the consolidated company for the quarter ending March 31, 2013, with the results of operations (unaudited) of Cellular Biomedicine Group, Ltd. for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. Please refer to Note 2 of our financial statements for further details regarding the basis of presentation.

2013	$	-	$	(78,589	)		(100	)%
2012	$	78,589

During the first quarter of 2013, our biomedicine segment recorded no revenue as we are in the clinical trial phase for the development and commercialization of our initial cell therapy candidates. During the first quarter of 2012, we derived $78,589 of revenue from our biomedicine segment related to the incidental sales of enzyme reagent kits for research use.

During the first quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2012, we recorded no revenue from the consulting segment.

2013	$	-	$	(27,690	)		(100	)%
2012	$	27,690

For our biomedicine segment, our cost of sales were zero in the first quarter of 2013 due to the lack of recorded revenue, and 2012 cost of sales were associated with sales of enzyme reagent kits.

During the first quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2012, we recorded no cost of sales from the consulting segment.

General and Administrative Expenses

Three Months Ended March 31,	General & Administrative Expenses		Change from Prior Year		Percent Change from Prior Year

2013	$	5,071,917	$	4,375,406		628	%
2012	$	696,511

General and administrative expenses increased by $4,375,406 in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 primarily as a result of one-time merger-related expenses, the issuance of contingent stock to certain biomedicine investors, and increased stock-based compensation, all incurred in the first quarter of 2013. In addition, we incurred higher expenses relating to compensation of our executives, professional fees, and travel, due to certain increased activities in both segments, and relating to the integration of the formerly privately-held biomedicine business into our Company, a public reporting entity.

We incurred an increase of approximately $679,500 in consulting, legal, and professional fees due to costs associated with our merger, and partly as a result of increased corporate activities in the biomedicine segment relating to merger integration, accounting, corporate governance, and compliance matters.

On March 29, 2013 we issued 342,360 shares of our common stock to certain biomedicine investors under the terms of their pre-merger investment in CBMG BVI. In connection with this issuance we recorded a stock issuance expense in the amount of approximately $1,695,000. This stock issuance expense was a one-time event related to a pre-merger financing, and as of March 31, 2013 we had no further obligations to issue additional securities to these investors.

On February 14, 2013 we issued 71,814 shares of our common stock to employees in our biomedicine segment, as stock-based compensation earned by them prior to the merger through and up to the date of issuance of shares. We recorded an expense in the amount of approximately $305,000 relating to this stock-based compensation. We recorded an additional expense of approximately $550,000 as a true-up to the unearned stock awards. We issued stock options to employees of the biomedicine business, we recognized stock-based compensation expenses of approximately $109,000 on the issued unvested stock and option awards. We also incurred an increase in compensation to our biomedicine executives in the amount of approximately $298,000, relating to employment agreements that we entered into with our new senior executive officers following the merger. The increases in compensation expense relating to our biomedicine business in comparison to the same period in the prior year were correlated with increased business activity in our biomedicine segment, a well as the addition of new hires and commencement of new employment agreements.

We also awarded, as a performance bonus to the officers EastBridge Sub for our consulting segment, 60,000 shares of common stock for which we recorded a one-time compensation expense in the amount of $360,000, and agreed to pay a bonus in the amount of $357,000 in August of 2013 or earlier upon the satisfaction of certain conditions, for which we accrued an expense in the amount of $357,000 in the first quarter of 2013.

For the first quarter of 2013, we incurred increased travel expenses in the amount of approximately $211,000, relating to merger negotiations and increased business activities in both segments, as compared to the same period in 2012.

In the first quarter of 2013 we also had an increase in other general and administrative expenses of approximately $1,000, due to other miscellaneous activities.

The above increases were offset by a decrease in management fees of approximately $190,000, relating to the management and operation of the biomedicine business while it was a privately held entity in 2012. These management fees were discontinued in the fourth quarter of 2012, as the biomedicine business began to retain full-time executive managers.

Of the $4,375,406 overall increase in general and administrative expenses, approximately $1.85 million was in the form of cash expenses, and the remainder were non-cash.

For more information please see exhibit 99.1 - Supplemental Pro-Forma Income Statement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Sales and Marketing Expenses

Three Months Ended March 31,	Sales & Marketing Expenses		Change from Prior Year			Percent Change from Prior Year

2013	$	28,701	$	(1,020	)		(3	)%
2012	$	29,721

Sales and marketing expenses did not change significantly from the three month period ended March 31, 2013 versus the three month period ended March 31, 2012.

Research and Development

Three Months Ended March 31,	Research and Development Expenses		Change from Prior Year		Percent Change from Prior Year

2013	$	480,505	$	224,551		88	%
2012	$	255,954

Research and development costs increased by $224,551 in the three month period ended March 31, 2013 versus the three month period ended March 31, 2012 due primarily to an increase in research and development personnel costs, increased depreciation and amortization, and an increase in property management fees.

Our research and development personnel costs and related expenses increased by approximately $80,000 for the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period of the prior year, due to an increase in staffing in our biomedicine segment.

In the first quarter of 2013, we recorded approximately $147,000 more in depreciation and amortization as compared to the same period of the prior year, which was principally due to amortized licensing expense relating to our $1 million initial license payment to California Stem Cell, Inc. In addition we had more patents in the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the same quarter of the prior year, which caused an increase in the amount of depreciation expense relating to our patents.

We incurred increased property management fees in the amount of approximately $71,000 for the first quarter of 2013 as compared to the same quarter in the prior year, mainly due to the fact that our primary research and development center in Shanghai had not been completed in 2012. By the first quarter of 2013 our R&D center had become operational, and accordingly we incurred increased property management expenses relating to this facility.

The above increases were offset by decreases in R&D marketing expenses and raw material costs, in the approximate amount of $73,000.

Operating Income (Loss)

Three Months Ended March 31,	Operating Income (Loss)			Change from Prior Year			Percent Change from Prior Year

2013	$	(5,581,123	)	$	(4,649,836	)		499	%
2012	$	(931,287	)

The decrease in our operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 is primarily due to the increase in general and administrative expenses, which is described above.

Total Other Income (Expense)

Three Months Ended March 31,	Total Other Income (Expense)			Change from Prior Year			Percent Change from Prior Year

2013	$	(262,538	)	$	(263,551	)		(26017	)%
2012	$	1,013

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, other income (expense) consisted of an accrual of interest on deferred salaries of the officers of consulting segment of approximately $256,000, the excess market value from the stock issued for services rendered in the amount of $22,000, which was partially offset by a non-recurring subsidy of $16,000 from the Chinese government. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company earned interest income of approximately $1,000 from the Company’s bank deposits.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Income Tax Provision (Benefit)

We incurred tax provisions of $0 for the first quarter of 2013 and 2012 due to the effects of operating losses offset by valuation allowances against all of our deferred tax assets, including net operating losses. While we have optimistic plans for our business strategy, we determined that a valuation allowance was necessary given the prior losses and the uncertainty with respect to our ability to generate sufficient profits from our business model.

Net Loss

Three Months Ended March 31,	Net Loss			Change from Prior Year			Percent Change from Prior Year

2013	$	(5,843,661	)	$	(4,913,387	)		528	%
2012	$	(930,274	)

Changes in net income (loss) are primarily attributable to changes in operating income, and other income (expense), each of which is described above.

Comprehensive Net Loss

Three Months Ended March 31,	Comprehensive Net Loss			Change from Prior Year			Percent Change from Prior Year

2013	$	(6,466,501	)	$	(5,542,046	)		599	%
2012	$	(924,455	)

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded an unrecognized loss on investments of $620,880 offset by foreign currency translations of $1,930. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we had no unrecognized losses on investments and foreign currency translations were approximately $5,820. For more information please see exhibit 99.1 - Supplemental Pro-Forma Income Statement.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,824,455 and $1,906,413 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The decrease is mainly attributable to an increase in noncash charges, of approximately $3.3 million, working capital and other current assets of approximately $1.7 million, partially offset by an increased net loss of approximately $4.9 million.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was $2,535,232 and $(133,530) for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This increase in the first quarter of 2013was attributed primarily to the merger of EastBridge which contribute approximately $2.5 million of cash. The decrease in the first quarter of 2012 was primarily attributable to approximately $134,000 of purchases of equipment for the Shanghai clinic location.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(725) and $2,494,349 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. This was primarily associated with the stock sold for cash in 2012.

We had working capital of $2,227,973 as of March 31, 2013 compared to $3,873,813 as of December 31, 2012. Our cash position increased to $4,852,988 at March 31, 2013 compared to $4,144,896 as of December 31, 2012, as we had an increase in cash generated from investing activities, offset by a decrease in cash from operations and financing activities.

Liquidity and Capital Requirements Outlook

Capital Requirements

We anticipate that following our merger in February 2013, we as a combined company will require approximately $5.6 million in cash to operate as planned during the 2013 calendar year. Of this amount, approximately $3 million will be used to operate our facilities and offices, including but not limited to payroll expenses, rent and other operating costs, and to fund our research and development (which will require an estimated $0.6 million in 2013) as we continue to develop our products through the clinical study process. As another component of the $5 million amount noted above, we anticipate $2 million will be needed during 2013 to fund our ongoing clinical trials for liver cancer and KOA, each of which we launched in early 2013. Presently we do not have plans to expand our physical plant and facilities, although we may revise these plans depending on the changing circumstances of our biomedicine business.

We expect to rely on current cash balances, and cash from our consulting operations and the sale of marketable securities that we hold (and that we received as payment for consulting services) to provide for these capital requirements. We intend to look external financing to fund our operations and growth. As of the date of this report, management anticipates that our current cash resources are sufficient to fund our operations in accordance with our plans during 2013.

Our medium to long term capital needs involve the further development of our biomedicine business, and may include, at management’s discretion, new clinical trials for other indications, strategic partnerships, joint ventures, acquisition of licensing rights from new partners, expansion of our license rights with our current joint venture partner or changes in the structure of such joint venture, and/or expansion of our research and development programs. Furthermore, as our therapies pass through the clinical trial process and if they gain regulatory approval, we expect to expend significant resources on sales and marketing of our future products, services and therapies.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In order to finance our medium to long term plans, we intend to rely upon external financing. This financing may be in the form of equity and or debt, in private placements and/or public offerings, or arrangements with private lenders. Due to our short operating history and our early stage of development, particularly in our biomedicine business, we may find it challenging to raise capital on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all. Furthermore our negotiating position in the capital raising process may worsen as we consume our existing resources. Investor interest in a company such as ours is dependent on a wide array of factors, including the state of regulation of our industry in China (e.g. the policies of MOH and the SFDA), the U.S. and other countries, political headwinds affecting our industry, the investment climate for issuers involved in businesses located or conducted within China, the risks associated with our corporate structure, risks relating to our joint venture partners, licensed intellectual property, as well as the condition of the global economy and financial markets in general. Additional equity financing may be dilutive to our stockholders; debt financing, if available, may involve significant cash payment obligations and covenants that restrict our ability to operate as a business; our stock price may not reach levels necessary to induce option or warrant exercises; and asset sales may not be possible on terms we consider acceptable. If we are unable to raise the capital necessary to meet our medium- and long-term liquidity needs, we may have to delay or discontinue certain clinical trials, the licensing, acquisition and/or development of cell therapy technologies, and/or the expansion of our biomedicine business; or we may have to raise funds on terms that we consider unfavorable. For a more complete discussion of risks that our business is subject to, refer to the “Risk Factors” section below.

Liquidity

To support our liquidity needs for the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we utilized our then current cash reserves.

In the near term, much of our cash from operating activities is expected to be derived from the continued sale of stock held in clients and received as compensation for services rendered by our consulting services business. We do not have a plan of liquidation of the portfolio securities that are held by EastBridge Sub, but rather, EastBridge Sub management may decide to sell marketable securities from our portfolio from time to time subject to securities regulatory constraints, if and when market conditions are considered to be favorable.

Management expects de minimus revenue from our biomedicine business in 2013, as our focused products, services and therapies we have in development are in the proof-of-concept stage or in clinical trials, and have not yet been approved for clinical use. Unless there is a major shift in the regulatory environment in which we operate, we aim to complete clinical trials for our KOA products within the next year and begin generating revenue from our biomedical operations beginning in 2014.

Off Balance Sheet Transactions

CBMG does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide this information.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that, as of March 31, 2013, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no material changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time we may be involved in judicial or administrative proceedings concerning matters arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not expect that any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, cash flows or results of operation.

For purposes of this periodic report and Item 1A, “CBMG BVI” refers to Cellular Biomedicine Group Ltd., a British Virgin Islands corporation, which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of the registrant, together with its business, operations, subsidiaries and controlled entities). The “Company”, “CBMG”, “we”, “us”, “our” and similar terms refer to Cellular Biomedicine Group, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) as a combined entity including each of its subsidiaries and controlled companies following the merger (formerly EastBridge Investment Group Corporation), unless the context otherwise requires. “EastBridge Sub” refers to the Company's wholly owned subsidiary EastBridge Investment Corp.

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMPANY

We have a limited operating history and expect significant operating losses for the next few years.

We are a company with a limited operating history and have incurred substantial losses and negative cash flow from operations in periods leading up to the second half of 2012. Although in the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, on a consolidated basis we earned net income of approximately $5.2 million primarily due to the realization of proceeds from investment securities received as compensation, our cash flow from operations may not be consistent from period to period, our biomedicine business has not yet generated any revenue, and we may incur losses and negative cash flow in future periods, particularly within the next several years.

Our biomedicine product development programs are based on novel technologies and are inherently risky.

We are subject to the risks of failure inherent in the development of products based on new biomedical technologies. The novel nature of these cell-based therapies creates significant challenges in regard to product development and optimization, manufacturing, government regulation, third party reimbursement, and market acceptance. For example, the pathway to regulatory approval for cell-based therapies may be more complex than the pathway for conventional pharmaceuticals or other medical technologies, or may require more time than we anticipate. These challenges may prevent us from developing and commercializing products on a timely or profitable basis or at all.

Our technologies are at early stages of discovery and development, and we may fail to develop any commercially acceptable or profitable products.

We have yet to develop any therapeutic products that have been approved for marketing, and we do not expect to become profitable within the next several years, but rather expect our biomedicine business to incur additional and increasing operating losses. Before commercializing any therapeutic product in China, we may be required to obtain regulatory approval from the Ministry of Health (“MOH”), PRC’s State Food and Drug Administration (“SFDA”), local regulatory authorities, and/or individual hospitals, and outside China from equivalent foreign agencies after conducting extensive preclinical studies and clinical trials that demonstrate that the product candidate is safe and effective.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We may elect to delay or discontinue studies or clinical trials based on unfavorable results. Any product developed from, or based on, cell technologies may fail to:

	●		survive and persist in the desired location;

	●		provide the intended therapeutic benefit;

	●		engraft or integrate into existing tissue in the desired manner; or

	●		achieve therapeutic benefits equal to, or better than, the standard of treatment at the time of testing.

In addition, our therapeutic products may cause undesirable side effects. Results of preclinical research in animals may not be indicative of future clinical results in humans.

Ultimately if regulatory authorities do not approve our products or if we fail to maintain regulatory compliance, we would be unable to commercialize our products, and our business and results of operations would be harmed. Even if we do succeed in developing products, we will face many potential obstacles such as the need to develop or obtain manufacturing, marketing and distribution capabilities. Furthermore, because transplantation of cells is a new form of therapy, the marketplace may not accept any products we may develop.

Presently, a moratorium declared by the PRC government on commercialization of cell therapies is in effect, pending release of new regulations. No assurances can be made regarding when the moratorium will be lifted, or regarding the substance of the new regulations. If the moratorium continues longer than expected, or if new regulations are not favorable to our development plans, our business could be adversely affected.

While we believe the PRC government is highly supportive of stem cell research and related potential advances in medical treatment, presently a moratorium is in effect in China which prevents any company from actual marketing and implementing cell therapies. The central government has declared stem cell technology to be a part of China's national long-term scientific and technological development plan from 2006 to 2020. The government has also announced its intention to release new laws to regulate our industry, which are anticipated later this year. We are unable to predict when these new laws will be announced or made applicable, or the contents of such laws. Although we believe there is a high probability that PRC laws will ultimately be supportive of our development plans and consistent with its prior policy pronouncements, there can be no assurance that the laws, once released and when applied, will be favorable to our interests. If the government fails to enact laws and lift the moratorium in the expected time frame, or if its laws when released and enacted are burdensome to our development, our plans could be delayed or thwarted, and our business would be materially and adversely affected. In March 2013, the PRC central government released proposed regulations of the Ministry of Health and the SFDA relating to the conduct of cell therapy pre-clinical and clinical trials in China. While management believes this is an indication that final rules may soon be adopted, we cannot provide any assurances as to the likely content of the final rules nor when they will become effective.

Most potential applications of our technology are pre-commercialization, which subjects us to development and marketing risks.

We are in a relatively early stage on the path to commercialization with many of our products. Successful development and market acceptance of our products is subject to developmental risks, including failure to achieve innovative solutions to problems during development, ineffectiveness, lack of safety, unreliability, failure to receive necessary regulatory clearances or approvals, approval by hospital ethics committees and other governing bodies, high commercial cost, preclusion or obsolescence resulting from third parties’ proprietary rights or superior or equivalent products, competition, and general economic conditions affecting purchasing patterns. There is no assurance that we or our partners will successfully develop and commercialize our products, or that our competitors will not develop competing products, treatments or technologies that are less expensive or superior. Failure to successfully develop and market our products would have a substantial negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Market acceptance of new technology such as ours can be difficult to obtain.

New and emerging cell therapy and cell banking technologies may have difficulty or encounter significant delays in obtaining market acceptance in some or all countries around the world due to the novelty of our cell therapy and cell banking technologies. Therefore, the market adoption of our cell therapy and cell banking technologies may be slow and lengthy with no assurances that the technology will be successfully adopted. The lack of market adoption or reduced or minimal market adoption of cell therapy and cell banking technologies may have a significant impact on our ability to successfully sell our future product(s) or therapies within China or in other countries. Our strategy depends in part on the adoption of the therapies we may develop by state-owned hospital systems in China, and the allocation of resources to new technologies and treatment methods is largely dependent upon ethics committees and governing bodies within the hospitals. Even if our clinical trials are successful, there can be no assurance that hospitals in China will adopt our technology and therapies as readily as we may anticipate.

Future clinical trial results may differ significantly from our expectations.

While we have proceeded incrementally with our clinical trials in an effort to gauge the risks of proceeding with larger and more expensive trials, we cannot guarantee that we will not experience negative results with larger and much more expensive clinical trials than we have conducted to date. Poor results in our clinical trials could result in substantial delays in commercialization, substantial negative effects on the perception of our products, and substantial additional costs. These risks are increased by our reliance on third parties in the performance of many of the clinical trial functions, including the clinical investigators, hospitals, and other third party service providers.

We face risks relating to the cell therapy industry, clinical development and commercialization.

Cell therapy is still a developing field and a significant global market for our services has yet to emerge. Our cellular therapy candidates are based on novel cell technologies that are inherently risky and may not be understood or accepted by the marketplace. The current market principally consists of providing manufacturing of cell and tissue-based therapeutic products for clinical trials and processing of stem cell products for therapeutic programs.

The degree of market acceptance of any future product candidates will depend on a number of factors, including:

	●	the clinical safety and effectiveness of the product candidates, the availability of alternative treatments and the perceived advantages of the particular product candidates over alternative treatments;

	●	the relative convenience and ease of administration of the product candidates;

	●	our ability to separate the product candidates from the ethical controversies and political barriers associated with stem cell product candidates derived from human embryonic or fetal tissue;

	●	ethical concerns that may arise regarding our commercial use of stem cells, including adult stem cells, in the manufacture of the product candidates;
