CORD BLOOD AMERICA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 2015
 
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business

Cord Blood America, Inc. ("CBAI" or the “Company”), formerly D&A Lending, Inc., was incorporated in the State of Florida on October 12, 1999. In October, 2009, CBAI re-located its headquarters from Los Angeles, California to Las Vegas, Nevada. CBAI's wholly-owned subsidiaries include Cord Partners, Inc., CorCell Companies, Inc., CorCell, Ltd., (Cord Partners, Inc, CorCell Companies, Inc. and CorCell, Ltd. are sometimes referred to herein collectively as “Cord”), CBA Properties, Inc. ("Properties"), and Career Channel, Inc. formerly D/B/A Rainmakers International ("Rain”).  In September 2010, CBAI purchased a majority interest in Biocordcell Argentina S.A. (BioCells), a company providing private cord blood processing and storage services to families in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay. On September 29, 2014, the Company sold its ownership interest in BioCells.  As such, all activities of BioCells are reported as discontinued operations. CBAI and its subsidiaries engage in the following business activities:

CBAI and Cord specializes in providing private cord blood and cord tissue stem cell storage services to families throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.  Additionally, the Company is procuring birth tissue for organizations utilizing the tissue in the transplantation and/or research of therapeutic based products.

Biocordcell Argentina S.A. specializes in providing private cord blood stem cell storage to families in Argentina, Uruguay and Paraguay.

Properties was formed to hold corporate trademarks and other intellectual property.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going-concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the settlement of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of assets and liabilities that may be necessary in the event CBAI cannot continue as a going concern.

These statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for fair presentation of the information contained therein.  It is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements of the Company for the period ended December 31, 2014 and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K.  The Company follows the same accounting policies in the preparation of interim reports.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements of CBAI and its subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern. The Company has experienced recurring net losses from operations, which losses have caused an accumulated deficit of approximately $53.65 million as of March 31, 2015. In addition, CBAI has notes and loans payable of approximately $1.17 million, net of unamortized discount as of March 31, 2015. The Company made three additional payments of $100,000 each from cash provided by continuing operations and its existing cash balance during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.  However, the Company has no available common stock outstanding as of March 31, 2015, and as such, the Company may not be able to issue common stock to retire debt, if cash is not sufficient, until such time as the shareholders approve an increase in the number of shares authorized. The Company has announced a Special Shareholders Meeting to increase the number of shares on May 7, 2015.  These factors, among others, raise substantial doubt about CBAI's ability to continue as a going concern.

Since inception, the Company has financed cash flow requirements through the issuance of common stock and warrants for cash, services and loans. However, beginning in the second quarter of 2012, the Company has reduced operating expenses, ended investment in its unconsolidated affiliates, and divested its equity stake in both Stellacure and Bio, and received no additional funding from outside sources for working capital. During the quarter ended March 31, 2015 the Company had positive cash flow from operations of $0.21 million. The Company plans to continue to operate on its cash flows from operations by aligning its expenses with its revenues. If cash flows from operations are significantly less than projected, then the Company would need to either cut back on its budgeted spending, look to outside sources for additional funding or a combination of the two. The Company currently does not have any financing agreements in place for additional funding. If the Company is unable to access sufficient funds when needed, obtain additional external funding or generate sufficient revenue from the sale of our products, it could be forced to curtail or possibly cease operations.

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

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CBAI and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries, Cord and Biocordcell Argentina S.A. All significant inter-company balances and transactions, BioCells in 2014 only, have been eliminated upon consolidation.

Deferred Revenue

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

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 and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
  
Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, deposits in banks with maturities of three months or less, and all highly liquid investments which are unrestricted as to withdrawal or use, and which have original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase.

The company maintains cash and cash equivalents at several financial institutions.

Valuation of Derivative Instruments

ASC 815-40 (formerly SFAS No. 133 "Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities"), requires that embedded derivative instruments be bifurcated and assessed, along with free-standing derivative instruments such as warrants, on their issuance date and in accordance with ASC 815-40-15 (formerly EITF 00-19 "Accounting for derivative financial instruments indexed to, and potentially settled in, a company's own stock") to determine whether they should be considered a derivative liability and measured at their fair value for accounting purposes. In determining the appropriate fair value, the Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing formula. At March 31, 2015, the Company adjusted its derivative liability to its fair value, and reflected the change in fair value, in its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

Revenue Recognition

CBAI recognizes revenue under the provisions of ASC 605-25 (previously Staff Accounting Bulletin 104 “Revenue Recognition”). CBAI provides a combination of products and services to customers. This combination arrangement is evaluated under ASC 605-25-25 (previously Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 00-21, "Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables"). ASC 605-25-25 addresses certain aspects of accounting for arrangements under multiple revenue generating activities.
 
Cord recognizes revenue from both enrollment fees and processing fees upon the completion of processing while revenue from storage fees are recognized ratably over the contractual storage period.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

 Long-lived assets, other than goodwill, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets might not be recoverable. Conditions that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or a significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets is not recoverable. For long-lived assets to be held and used, the Company recognizes an impairment loss only if its carrying amount is not recoverable through its undiscounted cash flows and measures the impairment loss based on the difference between the carrying amount and fair value. The Company reviews goodwill for impairment at least annually or whenever events or circumstances are more likely than not to reduce the fair value of goodwill below its carrying amount.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  Diluted EPS is similar to basic EPS except that the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the dilutive potential common shares had been exercised.  Net loss per common share is calculated in accordance with ASC 260, Earnings per Share. Outstanding options to acquire common stock and warrants are not included in the computation of net loss per common share because the effects of inclusion are anti-dilutive.

Equity Investments

Cord had a non-controlling equity investment in ViviCells International, Inc., a privately held company in the business of providing cord blood stem cell and adult peripheral blood stem cell preservation services. The Company utilized the equity method of accounting as it owned more than 20% of the outstanding common stock and had the ability to exercise significant influence over this company. As such, the investment was carried at cost less Cord's proportionate share of ViviCells net loss for the period since investment. During 2011 the Company foreclosed on and acquired all the assets of Neocells, a subsidiary of ViviCells, as satisfaction on the outstanding receivable from ViviCells. There is no remaining investment in ViviCells as of December 31, 2012 because of this action.

Cord has a minority equity investment in China Stem Cells, Ltd., a Cayman Islands Company, a privately held company organized to conduct a stem cell storage business in China. In 2011, Cord acquired a minority equity investment in VidaPlus, an umbilical cord processing and storage company. The Company utilizes the cost method of accounting as it owns less than 20% of the outstanding common stock and only has the ability to exercise nominal, not significant, influence over these companies. The cost of this investment was $204,062 and represents 7% equity in VidaPlus. At December 31, 2012 the Company had an outstanding loan to VidaPlus in the amount of $246,525. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized an impairment loss on the VidaPlus investments and notes receivable, and wrote-down its equity interest and notes receivable to $0.
 
Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure the fair value. Level inputs, as defined by ASC 820-10, are as follows:
 
Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
 
Level 2 – other significant observable inputs for the assets or liabilities through corroboration with market data at the measurement date.

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs that reflect management’s best estimate of what market participants would use to price the assets or liabilities at the measurement date.
 
The following table summarizes fair value measurements by level at March 31, 2015 of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update on revenue recognition that will be applied to all contracts with customers. The update requires an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects what it expects in exchange for the goods or services. It also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The guidance will be required to be applied on a retrospective basis, using one of two methodologies, and will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early application not being permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact that the guidance will have on the Company's financial condition and results of operations.

Tonaquint, Inc.

On December 17, 2014, in settlement of the Action, the parties entered into a Settlement and Exchange Agreement (the "Settlement Agreement"). Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Secured Convertible Promissory Note and the Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock issued by the Company to St. George on or around March 10, 2011, as well as the SGI Purchase Agreement, and all other documents that made up the March 2011 transaction between the Company and St. George, all of which have been set forth in detail in prior filings by the Company, were terminated, cancelled or otherwise extinguished.  Further pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Tonaquint Note was exchanged for a Secured Convertible Promissory Note of the Company in the principal amount of $2,500,000 (the "Company Note"), and certain of the other documents that were part of the June 27, 2012 transaction between the Company and Tonaquint (the “June 2012 Tonaquint Transaction”) were terminated, cancelled or otherwise extinguished, and certain of them were amended, as set forth below.

Under the Company Note, the Company shall make monthly payments to Tonaquint, with the first payment due on or before April 17, 2015, and with payments continuing thereafter until the Company's Note is paid in full, with a maturity date that is 33 calendar months after the effective date of December 17, 2014. The Company made its first payment of $100,000 in December 2014 in accordance with the prepayment provisions of the Agreement, and prior to the above referenced first payment date. The Company made three additional payments of $100,000 each during January, February and March of 2015 totaling $300,000, in accordance with the prepayment terms of the Agreement.  The amount of the monthly payments is $100,000 (the “Installment Amount”); provided, however, that if the remaining amount owing under the Company Note as of the applicable Installment Date (defined in the Company Note) is less than $100,000, then the Installment Amount for such Installment Date shall be equal to the outstanding amount. The Company may prepay any or all of the outstanding amount of the Company Note at any time, without penalty. In the event the Company prepays an amount that is less than the outstanding amount, then the prepayment amount shall be applied to the next Installment Amount(s) due under the Company Note.

For each monthly payment, the Company may elect to designate all or any portion of the Installment Amount then due as a conversion eligible amount (hereafter “Conversion Eligible Amount”); provided that the total outstanding Conversion Eligible Amount that has not been converted by Tonaquint, as set forth below, at any given time may not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) without Tonaquint’s prior written consent and subject to additional restrictions set forth in the Company Note. In the event the Company designates any portion of any monthly payment amount as a Conversion Eligible Amount, the applicable monthly payment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the portion thereof designated as a Conversion Eligible Amount. The Conversion Eligible Amount shall continue to be included in and be deemed to be a part of the Outstanding Balance (defined in the Company Note) of the Company Note unless and until such amount is either paid in cash by the Company or converted into Common Stock by Tonaquint. The Company may pay the Conversion Eligible Amount in cash, provided that no prepayments of cash shall reduce the Conversion Eligible Amount until the Outstanding Balance is equal to or less than the Conversion Eligible Amount.

Once the Company has designated amounts as Conversion Eligible Amount, Tonaquint may convert all or any portion of that amount into shares of the Company's Common Stock. In the event of a conversion by Tonaquint of a Conversion Eligible Amount, the number of Common Stock shares delivered to Tonaquint upon conversion will be calculated by dividing the amount of the Company Note that is being converted by 70% of the average of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock (as defined in the Company Note) in the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion.
 
The Company records debt discounts in connection with the issuance of convertible debt and the initial valuation of the derivative liability. The discounts are amortized to non cash interest expense over the life of the debt.
 
The Company Note has an interest rate of 7.5%, compounding daily, which would increase to a rate of 15.0% on the happening of certain Events of Default (defined in the Company Note) that are not considered a Payment Default (defined in the Company Note), provided that the Company may cure the default in accordance with and subject to the terms set forth in the Company Note. Where a Payment Default occurs, including where (i) Borrower shall fail to pay any principal, interest, fees, charges, or any other amount when due and payable under that Company Note; or (ii) Borrower shall fail to deliver any Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of the Company Note, late fees shall accrue as set forth in the Company Note, and in addition, the Company shall have ninety (90) days from delivery of notice of default from Tonaquint to cure the default, as set forth in more detail in the Company Note. If the Company fails to cure the Payment Default, Tonaquint may accelerate the Company Note by written notice to the Company, with the Outstanding Balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount (defined in the Company Note) equal to (i) the Outstanding Balance as of the date of acceleration (which Outstanding Balance, for the avoidance of doubt, will include all Late Fees that accrue until any applicable Payment Default is cured) multiplied by (ii) two hundred fifty percent (250%), along with other remedies, as set forth in the Company Note.

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

VidaPlus

On January 24, 2011, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement to acquire up to 51% of the capital stock in VidaPlus, an umbilical cord processing and storage company headquartered in Madrid, Spain. The Agreement is organized into three tranches; the first executed at closing with an initial investment of approximately $204,000 (150,000 Euro) for an amount equivalent to 7% as follows; 1% of share capital in initial equity or approximately $30,000 and 6% or an estimated $174,000 as a loan convertible into equity within 12 months of closing. The initial investment was secured by a Pledge Agreement on 270 VidaPlus samples that are incurring annual storage fees. The second tranche provides the opportunity for an additional 28% in share capital through monthly investments based on the number of samples processed in that month (up to a maximum of 550,000 EUR). In connection with Tranche 2, the Company has loaned VidaPlus $246,525. Converting the investment from a loan into equity will take place within 24 months of the date the amount of shares due to the Company pursuant to the second tranche is calculated. The third tranche follows a similar loan to equity agreement as tranche two but for an additional 16% equity at the option of the Company (up to a maximum of 550,000 EUR). VidaPlus contracts through Stellacure and their relationship with the German Red Cross for their processing and storage.

In connection with the VidaPlus Stock Purchase Agreement entered into on January 24, 2011, the Company is obligated to make monthly loans to VidaPlus based on the number of new samples processed and up to a maximum of 550,000 Euro for each of Tranche 2 and 3 of the Agreement. Tranche 2 did contain provisions that provided the Company an option to discontinue funding if certain performance targets were not met.

In January 2012, the Company exercised its right to convert its Tranche 1 loan into 6% of the outstanding shares of VidaPlus, and as a result, the Company owned a total of 7% of the outstanding shares. At the time of the equity conversion, the Company no longer maintained its Pledge on the 270 VidaPlus samples associated with Tranche 1; however, the Company maintained a liquidation preference in VidaPlus over the money invested by the Company in VidaPlus. Additionally, the Company declined to make any further investment (loan or otherwise) to VidaPlus under whether Tranche 2, Tranche 3 or otherwise. On February 14, 2014, CBAI delivered to VidaPlus its election to convert its loan under Tranche 2 into shares of stock in VidaPlus, including Anti-Dilution shares and maintains a liquidation preference in VidaPlus.  The Company is entitled to an additional ownership stake of approximately 2.24% in connection with the forgoing, bringing its total ownership percentage to approximately 9.24%

Patent License Agreement

PharmaStem Therapeutics claims to hold certain patents relating to the storage, expansion and use of hematopoietic stem cells. In the past several years, PharmaStem has commenced suit against numerous companies involved in cord blood collection and preservation alleging infringement of its patents. In October 2003, after a jury trial, judgment was entered against certain of our competitors and in favor of PharmaStem in one of those suits. In February 2004, PharmaStem commenced suit against Cord Partners and certain of its competitors alleging infringement of its patents. Management of Cord Partners determined to settle, rather than to litigate, this matter. As a result, PharmaStem and Cord Partners entered into a Patent License Agreement in March 2004. Pursuant to the Patent License Agreement, Cord Partners could, on a non-exclusive basis, collect, process and store cord blood utilizing PharmaStem’s claimed technology and processes allegedly covered by its patents for so long as the patents may remain in effect. Most of the patents at issue expired in 2010. PharmaStem could claim, arguendo, Cord Partners is obligated under the Patent License Agreement to pay royalties to PharmaStem of 15% of all revenues generated by Cord Partners from the collection and storage of cord blood on and after January 1, 2004. Other than, potentially royalties, which would be disputed by Cord, no amount is payable by Cord Partners to PharmaStem. All litigation between the parties was dismissed and all prior claims were released. As of 2008, Cord ceased paying all royalties to PharmaStem. The patents have been declared void under a final decision on appeal, and as such, there is no pending litigation in this matter. As of March 31, 2015, the Company included approximately $226,000 in accounts payable and $120,000 included in accrued expenses to account for this liability since 2008, though the Company disputes that it owes any royalties to Pharmastem.

Note 6. Related Party Transactions
 
China Stem Cells, Ltd.
 
In March of 2010 the Company acquired pursuant to a License Agreement, a 10% non dilutable interest in what became, in December 2010, China Stem Cells, Ltd., a Cayman Islands Company (hereinafter "Cayman"), which indirectly holds a 100% capital interest in AXM Shenyang, a company organized to conduct a Stem Cell Storage Business in China. In exchange for issuance of an equity interest in Cayman, under the terms of the Transfer of Technology Agreement the Company agreed to provide technology transfer, knowhow and training in the setup, marketing and operation of the China Stem Cell Storage business. In connection with the License Agreement, the Company is to receive royalties equal to 8.5% of "Net Revenues" realized from the China Stem Cell Storage business, over the 15 year term of the agreement, with certain minimum annual royalties’ payable beginning in 2011. The Company has not been paid any royalty balance due to date, and it remains doubtful that any such royalties will be collected.
 
In December of 2010 the Company also acquired the option to provide up to $750,000 of additional capital funding to Cayman through the purchase of Cayman Secured Convertible Promissory Notes and attached Cayman Warrants to acquire its Common Stock. Other Cayman shareholders were granted similar options, with the intent of raising the aggregate up to $1.5 million in additional capital for Cayman and its subsidiaries. CBAI has exercised this option in part, provided a total of $400,000 in additional capital to Cayman, and is to receive Cayman Secured Convertible Promissory Notes for this sum along with 80 Cayman (TBD) Warrants. The Secured Convertible Promissory Notes are convertible into Cayman stock at a conversion price of $1,500 per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Warrants have a five year term and are exercisable at an option exercise price of $0.05 per share per share, subject to certain adjustments. The Company has recorded a reserve for the entire carrying amount of the receivable, including interest. The Company’s current President, Joseph Vicente was appointed as a Director of China Stem Cells Ltd. in July 2012.
 
VidaPlus
 
The Company holds approximately 9.24% of the outstanding shares of VidaPlus, and has a balance of convertible loans receivable amounting to $246,525. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company reviewed the recoverability of the equity investment and loans receivable and the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the investment as a result of recurring and continued operating losses at VidaPlus. Fair value of the loans receivable is determined based on the discounted future net cash flows expected to be generated by assets pledged against the loans. The Company recorded an impairment of 100% of the book value of the equity investment and convertible loan receivable.
 
Note 7. Share Based Compensation
 
Stock Option Plan
 
The Company's Stock Option Plan permits the granting of stock options to its employees, directors, consultants and independent contractors for up to 8.0 million shares of its common stock. The Company believes that such awards encourage employees to remain employed by the Company and also to attract persons of exceptional ability to become employees of the Company. On July 13, 2009, the Company registered its 2009 Flexible Stock Plan, which increases the total shares available to 4 million common shares. The agreement allows the Company to issue either stock options or common shares from this Plan.
 
On June 3, 2011, the Company registered its 2011 Flexible Stock Option plan, and reserved 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for future issuance under the Plan. The Company canceled the Company's 2010 Flexible Stock Plan, and returned 501,991 reserved but unused common shares back to its treasury.
 
Stock options that vest at the end of a one-year period are amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. For stock options awarded using graded vesting, the expense is recorded at the beginning of each year in which a percentage of the options vests. The Company did not issue any stock options for the period ended March 31, 2015.

Note 11. Subsequent Events
 
Red Oak Agreement

On April 9, 2015, Cord Blood America, Inc. (the "Company") executed a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) and a Stockholder Agreement with Red Oak Fund LP, Red Oak Long Fund, LP and Pinnacle Opportunities Fund, LP (collectively the “Purchasers” or “Red Oak”). Subsequently, on April 14, 2015, the Company and Red Oak closed the transaction.

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Purchasers are to deliver to the Company, at Closing (defined in the Purchase Agreement), $724,000 (the “Purchase Price”), and the Company is to deliver to the Purchasers 724,000 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”).  The Purchase Price proceeds shall be used as repayment to the Company’s outstanding debt obligations.  The terms of the Preferred Stock are set forth in Articles of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation of the Company (“Articles of Amendment”) that were designated by the Board of Directors of the Company on April 9, 2015.

As set forth in the Articles of Amendment, the Preferred Stock shall be convertible into common stock of the Company at the “Conversion Rate,” where each holder of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to common stock in accordance with the number of shares of Preferred Stock they hold divided by the total shares of Preferred Stock outstanding, 724,000 shares, multiplied by the “Maximum Common Converted Share Number,” which is 29.9793% of the outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted and converted basis assuming the conversion of all convertible securities, including the conversion of the Preferred Stock.  The Preferred Stock shall not be converted until such time as there are sufficient authorized common stock shares, which are not reserved for other purposes, in order that all of the Preferred Stock can be converted to common shares.  When there are sufficient such shares, all of the Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted to common stock at the Conversion Rate.
 
 
15

 

Further pursuant to the Articles of Amendment, while Preferred Stock is outstanding, the holders of Preferred Stock, voting exclusively and as a separate class, are entitled to elect three (3) Directors to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Series A Directors”).  The Series A Directors may be removed without cause only by a vote of the holders of the Preferred Stock.  As set forth in the Purchase Agreement, the Board of Directors shall consist of a total of six (6) Directors, and under the Articles of Amendment, in the event of a Deadlock Resolution Event (defined in the Articles of Amendment), the holder of a majority of the Preferred Stock shall propose three (3) potential Independent Qualified Directors (defined in the Articles of Amendment), and the Board of the Company shall select one of them to serve as the Independent Qualified Director, in order to vote to break a deadlock.

In addition, on any matter presented to the stockholders for vote, the Preferred Stock shall vote as a class with the holders of common stock, and each share of Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to such number of votes as if the Preferred Stock were converted to common stock at the Conversion Rate.

Amended Employment Agreements

Effective April 9, 2015, as part of the transaction with Red Oak, the Company entered into an Amendment to Executive Employment Agreement with Joseph R. Vicente, the Company’s President and Chairman of the Board, amending Mr. Vicente’s January 1, 2015 Executive Employment Agreement, as well as an Amendment to Executive Employment Agreement with Stephen Morgan, the Company’s Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary, amending Mr. Morgan’s April 1, 2015 employment agreement such that Mr. Vicente and Mr. Morgan no longer have the option, in their sole discretion, to receive their salary and bonus amounts in the form of Company stock, rather than cash.
 
Election of Directors

On April 14, 2015, Cord Blood America, Inc. (the “Company”) closed a Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and a Stockholder Agreement on April 9, 2015 with Red Oak Fund LP, Red Oak Long Fund, LP and Pinnacle Opportunities Fund, LP (collectively “Red Oak”), and pursuant thereto, filed Articles of Amendment to Articles of Incorporation of the Company (“Articles of Amendment”) (collectively the “Red Oak Transaction”).   The holders of Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Red Oak Transaction were entitled to elect three (3) Directors to the Board of Directors of the Company. Accordingly, David Sandberg, Anthony Snow and Adrian Pertierra were elected as Directors of the Company, effective April 15, 2015.

Compensation of Directors

After the election of three (3) additional Directors to the Board of Directors of the Company effective April 15, 2015 and as set forth in the Company’s Form 8-K filing on April 16, 2015, the Company’s Board of Directors is now comprised of: David Sandberg, Anthony Snow, Adrian Pertierra, Joseph Vicente, who is also the Company’s President, and Timothy McGrath.

On April 17, 2015, the Board established compensation for non-management Directors of $5,000 per year, plus $1,000 per year for the Chairman of the Nominating & Governance Committee (currently Adrian Pertierra), $2,000 per year for the Chairman of the Compensation Committee (currently Tim McGrath), $3,000 per year for the Chairman of the Audit Committee (currently Anthony Snow), and $4,000 per year for the Chairman of the Board (currently David Sandberg).  David Sandberg, the Chairman of the Board, has informed the Board that he will waive all board compensation for 2015 due to him.  Joseph Vicente will receive no compensation for serving as a Director.

Special Shareholders Meeting

On February 23, 2015, the Company filed a Definitive 14A Proxy Statement providing Notice that a Special Meeting of Shareholders will take place on April 10, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Standard Time at 1857 Helm Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89119.  The vote is to consider a proposal to amend the Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation of the Company to increase the total number of shares of capital stock to 2,895,000,000, consisting of 5,000,000 Preferred Stock and 2,890,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  On April 22, 2015, the Company adjourned the Special Shareholders Meeting to May 7, 2015, in order to provide the shareholders adequate time to review the details of the Red Oak transaction; and as such, filed a DefinitiveA 14A Proxy Statement providing related information to the Red Oak investment.   The Board of Directors has recommended that the shareholders vote FOR the proposed increase.

On May 7, 2015, the Special Shareholders Meeting was held, and the Company announced that the increase in the authorized shares in Common Stock to 2,890,000,000 was approved by the shareholders.

Red Oak Conversion from Preferred to Common Shares

As a result of the increase in the authorized shares being approved by the shareholders on May 7, 2015, and per the terms of the Red Oak Agreement, the 724,000 shares of Preferred Stock held by Red Oak automatically converts into 381,052,632 common shares of the Company equivalent to 29.98% ownership in the Company.

Summary and Outlook of the Business

CBAI is primarily an umbilical cord blood stem cell and cord tissue processing and storage company with a particular focus on the acquisition of customers in need of family based products and services.
 
Services Provided By Cord
 
Cord’s operations provide umbilical cord blood banking and cord tissue services to expectant parents throughout all 50 United States and Puerto Rico. The Company’s corporate headquarters re-located to Las Vegas, NV from Los Angeles, CA in October 2009. Cord earns revenue through a one-time enrollment and processing fee, and through an annually recurring storage and maintenance fee. Cord processes and stores cord blood and cord tissue in its own facility. Cord provides the following services to each customer.
 
Collection Materials. A medical kit that contains all of the materials and instructions necessary for collecting the newborn’s umbilical cord blood and cord tissue at birth and packaging the unit for transportation. The kit also provides for collecting a maternal blood sample for infectious disease testing.
Physician And Customer Support. 24-hour consulting services to customers as well as to physicians and labor and delivery personnel, providing any instruction necessary for the successful collection, packaging, and transportation of the cord blood and cord tissue and maternal blood samples.
Transportation. Manage all logistics for transporting the cord blood and cord tissue unit to the Company’s centralized facility immediately following birth. This procedure ensures chain-of-custody control during transportation for maximum security.
Comprehensive Testing. The cord blood sample is tested for stem cell concentration levels and blood type. The maternal samples are tested for infectious diseases. Cord reports these results to the newborn’s mother.
Cord Blood Storage. After processing and testing, the cord blood and cord tissue unit is cryogenically frozen in a controlled manner and stored in liquid nitrogen for potential future use. Data indicates that cord blood retains viability and function for at least twenty five years when stored in this manner, and theoretically could be maintained at least as long as the normal life span of an individual.
 
Additionally, the Company is procuring birth tissue for organizations utilizing the tissue in the transplantation and/or research of therapeutic based products.  The Company receives a one-time recovery fee per tissue.  Associated services provided by the Company with this offering may include; transportation, collection materials, information used to determine donor eligibility and infectious disease testing of the maternal blood.   
 
Going forward, management will continue to assess business opportunities, and plans to pursue customer acquisition.

Results of Operations for the Three-Months Ended March 31, 2015

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, total revenue increased to approximately $1.28 million from $0.92 million, an increase of 39% over the same period of 2014.  Revenues are generated primarily from three sources; new enrollment/processing fees, recurring storage fees (both from cord blood and cord tissue) and the third related to the procurement of birth tissue for organizations utilized in the transplantation and/or research of therapeutic products.  New enrollment/processing fees decreased approximately 14% to $0.20 million while recurring storage revenues increased approximately 7% to $0.66 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 versus the prior comparative period of March 31, 2014. The major factor in the decrease in enrollment fees was attributable to increased discounting associated with initial enrollment fees indicating a more competitive market.  The procurement of birth tissue increased from $0.07 million to $0.42 million in the quarter over quarter period of 2014 to 2015, an increase of 494%.  This growth is attributable to an increase in the demand of birth tissue from an existing relationship, coupled with an additional procurement agreement in place during the third quarter of 2014.  As a mix of total revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, new enrollment/processing fees account for 16% of total revenues, recurring revenues account for 51% of total revenues, and the procurement of birth tissue 33% of the total revenues.  Comparatively for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, new enrollment/processing fees account for 25% of total revenues, recurring revenues account for 67% of total revenues, and the procurement of birth tissue 8% of the total revenues.  Cord remains focused on strategic organic growth which management hopes will provide sustainable operating cash flows and net income.

Cost of services as a percentage of revenue increased to 31% for the period ended March 31, 2015 compared to 29% the same prior period of 2014. The cost of services include transportation of the umbilical cord blood from the hospital to the lab, direct material plus labor costs for processing and cryogenic storage, and allocated rent, utility and general administrative expenses. Gross profit increased by approximately $0.23 million or 35% to approximately $0.88 million for the period ending March 31, 2015 from the prior three month period of 2014. The Company anticipates that through the growth and expansion of its Cord business, seasonal adjustments and continuing efficiencies in its own facilities, direct costs should decrease and gross profits should continue to improve.
 
 
18

 
 
Administrative and selling expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were $0.77 million as compared to $0.81 million for the comparative period of 2014 representing a 4% decrease. These expenses are primarily related to marketing/advertising, professional services, allocated facility related expenses and wages for personnel. The Company continues to evaluate its expenses and their relationship to revenues for alignment. Depreciation and amortization are included as an administrative expense. For the three month period ending March 31, 2015, depreciation and amortization was approximately $0.11 million versus $0.13 million for the prior comparative period of 2014.

The Company’s income from operations was $0.10 million versus a loss of $0.16 million for the comparative period of 2015 from 2014. The Company’s net loss was $0.21 million for the period ended March 31, 2015, compared to a net loss of $0.55 million for the period ended March 31, 2014.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources

Total assets at March 31, 2015 were $3.79 million, compared to $3.86 million at December 31, 2014. Total liabilities at March 31, 2015 were $4.69 million consisting primarily of promissory notes, accounts payable and deferred revenue $1.17 million, $0.41 million and $1.57 million respectively. At December 31, 2014, total liabilities were $4.55 million consisting primarily of promissory notes, accounts payable and deferred revenue $1.35 million, $0.36 million and $1.49 million respectively.

For the period ending March 31, 2015, the company had $0.64 million in cash, a decrease of $0.15 million from the prior comparative period ending March 31, 2014 of $0.80 million. Cash flows from operations are currently sufficient to fund operations as net cash provided by operating activities for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, increased $0.39 million to $0.21 million from the prior comparative period of 2014.  During the first quarter of 2015 there was no increase in notes payable for purposes of working capital.  However, as part of the Company’s settlement with St. George and Tonaquint reached in December of 2014, the Company made three additional prepayments on the convertible note of $100,000 each for a total of $300,000 which is reflected as a use of cash in financing activities.  Net cash used in investing activities increased by $0.11 million as the Company increased its investment in property and equipment.
 
Since inception, the Company has financed cash flow requirements through the issuance of common stock and warrants for cash, services and loans. However, over the past eight quarters, the Company has reduced operating expenses, ended investment in its unconsolidated affiliates and received no additional funding from outside sources for working capital. The Company plans to continue to operate on its cash flows from operations by aligning its expenses with its revenues. If cash flows from operations are significantly less than projected, then the company would need to either cut back on its budgeted spending, look to outside sources for additional funding or a combination of the two. The Company currently does not have any financing agreements in place for additional funding. If the Company is unable to access sufficient funds when needed, obtain additional external funding or generate sufficient revenue from the sale of our products, the Company could be forced to curtail or possibly cease operations.

Inflation

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

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Disclosure not applicable to smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 4T.  CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

It is management's responsibility to establish and maintain adequate internal control over all financial reporting pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). The Company’s management, including its president and chief financial officer, have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2015. Following this review and evaluation, management collectively determined that its disclosure controls and procedures are not effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to management, including its president, vice president, and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The deficiency in the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures is related to a lack of segregation of duties due to the size of the accounting department and the lack of experienced accountants due to the limited financial resources of the Company. The Company continues to actively develop the controls and resources necessary in order to be in position to remediate this lack of segregation of duties.
 
 
19

 
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no significant changes in the Company's internal controls over financial reporting or in other factors that could significantly affect these internal controls subsequent to the date of their most recent evaluation, including any corrective actions with regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses.
 
PART II. - OTHER INFORMATION
 
ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

On March 10, 2015, Cryo-Cell International, Inc. ("Cryo-Cell") filed a Complaint against Cord Blood America, Inc. (the "Company") in the Circuit Court of the Sixth Judicial Circuit in and for Pinellas County Florida, Civil Division, case number 15-001558-CI (the "Action"). Cryo-Cell brought the Action requesting the Court to enter an order to compel the Company to hold an annual meeting of the shareholders of the Company to elect directors of the Company and to ratify the Company's auditors. Cryo-Cell also requested that the Court determine certain details pertaining to the requested annual meeting and asked for other relief, including attorney's fees and costs. In addition, Cryo-Cell filed an 8-K on March 10, 2015 stating “It is [Cryo-Cell’s] intention to nominate a slate of directors for election at this annual meeting. If [Cryo-Cell] were successful in its effort to elect directors to the board of CBAI, it is anticipated that [Cryo-Cell] would explore the potential for a merger with CBAI, with [Cryo-Cell] as the surviving entity.”

On April 7, 2015, the Company filed a Motion to Dismiss the Complaint on grounds that the Action was filed in an improper venue.  On April 14, 2015, as agreed to by the parties, the Court entered an Order on [the Company’s] Motion to Dismiss and Order of Transfer, transferring the Action to the Circuit Court of Palm Beach County, Florida.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS
 
A description of the Company’s risk factors can be found in “ Risk Factors” of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014. There were no material changes to those risk factors during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

ITEM 2.  UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

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

Under the Company Note, the Company shall make monthly payments to Tonaquint, with the first payment due on or before April 17, 2015, and with payments continuing thereafter until the Company's Note is paid in full, with a maturity date that is 33 calendar months after the effective date of December 17, 2014. The Company made its first payment of $100,000 in December 2014 in accordance with the prepayment provisions of the Agreement, and prior to the above referenced first payment date. The Company made three additional payments of $100,000 each during January, February and March of 2015 totaling $300,000, in accordance with the prepayment terms of the Agreement. The amount of the monthly payments is $100,000 (the “Installment Amount”); provided, however, that if the remaining amount owing under the Company Note as of the applicable Installment Date (defined in the Company Note) is less than $100,000, then the Installment Amount for such Installment Date shall be equal to the outstanding amount. The Company may prepay any or all of the outstanding amount of the Company Note at any time, without penalty. In the event the Company prepays an amount that is less than the outstanding amount, then the prepayment amount shall be applied to the next Installment Amount(s) due under the Company Note.

For each monthly payment, the Company may elect to designate all or any portion of the Installment Amount then due as a conversion eligible amount (hereafter “Conversion Eligible Amount”); provided that the total outstanding Conversion Eligible Amount that has not been converted by Tonaquint, as set forth below, at any given time may not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) without Tonaquint’s prior written consent and subject to additional restrictions set forth in the Company Note. In the event the Company designates any portion of any monthly payment amount as a Conversion Eligible Amount, the applicable monthly payment shall be reduced by an amount equal to the portion thereof designated as a Conversion Eligible Amount. The Conversion Eligible Amount shall continue to be included in and be deemed to be a part of the Outstanding Balance (defined in the Company Note) of the Company Note unless and until such amount is either paid in cash by the Company or converted into Common Stock by Tonaquint. The Company may pay the Conversion Eligible Amount in cash, provided that no prepayments of cash shall reduce the Conversion Eligible Amount until the Outstanding Balance is equal to or less than the Conversion Eligible Amount.
 
 
20

 

Once the Company has designated amounts as Conversion Eligible Amount, Tonaquint may convert all or any portion of that amount into shares of the Company's Common Stock. In the event of a conversion by Tonaquint of a Conversion Eligible Amount, the number of Common Stock shares delivered to Tonaquint upon conversion will be calculated by dividing the amount of the Company Note that is being converted by 70% of the average of the three (3) lowest Closing Bid Prices of the Common Stock (as defined in the Company Note) in the twenty (20) Trading Days immediately preceding the applicable Conversion.
 
The Company records debt discounts in connection with the issuance of convertible debt and the initial valuation of the derivative liability. The discounts are amortized to non cash interest expense over the life of the debt.
 
The Company Note has an interest rate of 7.5%, compounding daily, which would increase to a rate of 15.0% on the happening of certain Events of Default (defined in the Company Note) that are not considered a Payment Default (defined in the Company Note), provided that the Company may cure the default in accordance with and subject to the terms set forth in the Company Note. Where a Payment Default occurs, including where (i) Borrower shall fail to pay any principal, interest, fees, charges, or any other amount when due and payable under that Company Note; or (ii) Borrower shall fail to deliver any Conversion Shares in accordance with the terms of the Company Note, late fees shall accrue as set forth in the Company Note, and in addition, the Company shall have ninety (90) days from delivery of notice of default from Tonaquint to cure the default, as set forth in more detail in the Company Note. If the Company fails to cure the Payment Default, Tonaquint may accelerate the Company Note by written notice to the Company, with the Outstanding Balance becoming immediately due and payable in cash at the Mandatory Default Amount (defined in the Company Note) equal to (i) the Outstanding Balance as of the date of acceleration (which Outstanding Balance, for the avoidance of doubt, will include all Late Fees that accrue until any applicable Payment Default is cured) multiplied by (ii) two hundred fifty percent (250%), along with other remedies, as set forth in the Company Note.  

As of March 31, 2015, the Company did not issue any shares to Tonaquint.  The principal balance due on the Note was $2,100,000 and $49,418 of interest as of March 31, 2015.
 
Repurchase of Shares

The Company did not repurchase any of its shares during the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
